Yeah, I hate it when that happens, Cameron Elmo Grubert laments to his counterpart Royce Wilbur Hathcock. Using long nasal hair for flossing teeth was one of many off-color topics they discussed.

With the excitement on and with the lights off, anxious freshmen entered Broadhurst Gymnasium. Groups of freshmen were commanded to sit down on the gym floor and remain silent by the ruling sophomores. However, once the freshmen were together, thundering claps and chants began and seemed to dominate the proceedings. The sophomores' regained their control and the Beanie Night ritual began. Music and a flashing of lights started the Beanie Night tradition. The program was followed by a freshman rootbeer chugging contest and 8 relay race, in which Pa1'ti0iP21l1tS had to push objects resembling microchips across the gym floor with their noses. At the games' completion, the lights faded out and a fog settled around a silver spaceship. The eerie mood was enhanced by mystical music and blinking lights. The sophomore skit had begun. Aliens exited the spaceship only to discover a place of zombied freshmen. The aliens scoffed and intimidated the freshmen, which provoked them to seize the aliens' leader, sophomoreclass president, Michael Pitts. Pitts was placed on trial and convicted to run from freshmen for a week, and if he was caught, the taunting of freshmen would end. Then with a flash of light, Michael Pitts disappeared. The freshmen received their beanies. With that, the ceremony ended, beginning the first chapter of freshman life. The epitome of this year s sophomore theme, Stacy Goldston exudes a strange and mysterious magnetism. The microchip relay one humiliating experience in a series of many during 1n1t1at1on week.

Curtain Rises On Fun Steam was already rising to the ceiling of the Bethany High School Auditorium on Friday, September 6, when the curtain finally went up to begin an- other anxiously anticipated night of music and skits. In keeping with the class' futuris- tic theme, Edgar Finck opened the evening by performing the theme song from the motion picture 2001 on the piano. A variety of talent was exhibited by various members of the sophomore class. Roger Oliver took the audi- ence back to their kindergar- ten days with his version of Mr, Roger's Neighborhood. Vocalist Tammy Looney fol- lowed with Great Is the Lord. Next, Cameron Grubert and Royce Hathcock made their first, of what was to be several, appearances as Elmo and Wilbur. The sophomore class' ver- sion of ZZ Top's Sharp Dressed Man pleased, if not thrilled, the female portion of the audience. Jeff Cox, Darren Woodard, and Mike Baker amused all with their song Fish Heads, while Brad Es- tep lost more than he bar- gained for in a skit with Lisa Silvey. Lyane Nelles performed You Light Up My Life to per- fection in sign language. Julie Tompkins and Company ri- valed Manhattan Transfer with their original composition of Boy From BNC. Suzanne Moyer and Karyn Olson sang about the boys they've loved before, which seemed to in- clude half the sophomore class. Between acts, the crowd was treated to the ongoing battle between mailman Tresa Mur- ray and a little 6-inch attack dog. The evening closed on a touching note with Devon Har- well leading an all-male choir in Dead Puppies. The rest of the class joined the choir on stage and together Qwith hands claspedb, sang the last chorus - finishing off an entertaining, yet questionably, talented show. L Follies 15
