SHOWiriQ OFF What do you get when you put Win- nie the Pooh, Pee Wee Herman, Monty Python, dancing raisins, various sing- ing and dancing acts, St. Joe students and parents in (in the words of senior John Spencer) the acoustical blun- der of nature ? Translation: the St. Joe Talent Show in the gym. This year we had a fail show which was so suc- cessful that we had a spring show as well. Both shows lasted about three hours, with the benefits going to Keith Penrod and the senior class. The turnout was great! I was really pleased. The students have talent, but basically the show just gives ev- eryone a chance to have fun and show off too, said Brother Bob, who was in charge. Competition was in the areas of singing, dancing, lip synch, and bands. In the fall show, the winners were senior Doug Eck and sophomore Heather Heller in singing, seniors Lisa DeCraene, Kerry Thompson and Stel- la Schindler in dancing, seniors Tom Bhistikul and Mike Gallagher in lip synch, and the ' Flaming Penguins ' in the band competition, in the spring show, juniors Kelly Wagner, Chris Sloan, and Laura Matthias won in singing, seniors Kerry Thompson and Stella Schindler in dancing, a group of juniors, led by Mike Carson, in lip synch, and The Frayed Knots ' in the band competition. The shows were hosted by senior Tim Taylor In the fall and seniors Eric Horvath, Henry Kim, and John Spencer in the spring. Henry said, Hosting the show was hectic. We had fun, but we always had to be on our toes because anything could happen. The lip synchs proved to be some of the better and- more popular acts, including The Cats in the Cra- dle by Bhistikul and Gallagher, Pi- ano Man by the junior group, 1 Heard it Through the Grape Vine , by the teachers, and the rendition of Lean On Me, by seniors Jeff Chap- man, Chris Plennert, and Tim Taylor. The shows were great fun for both Eric Horvath, Henry Kim, and John Spencer en- tertain the crowd during the Spring Talent Show. performers and watchers. Senior Chris Burgess, a band member, said, I had so much fun In the fall show that 1 decided to do it again in the spring. We forgot about the competi- tion — it is such a good feeling to be in firont of people, shovwng off and having fun. Freshman Tracy Qruber said, It was so much more fun than watching other shows because 1 saw my fi-iends performing. Junior Mike Carson of Piano Man said, It was great to wini Everyone likes to be a winner. With $15 as first prize, 1 couldn ' t resist trying for it. We were all excited about getting up there and we had a super time. Tom Bhisitkul and Mike Gallagher perform their lip sync version of Cat ' s in the Cradle. 26 Student Life Digest

AriARCHY? iring shorts to school? Eating .zza jn Mr. Rousey ' s office? Anarchy? o, that ' s not it. For one day, Steve atthys, a senior, was principal of IMS. Back in the fall, his parents Dean and Dan DeVreese as BrotW Robert, also seniors, and junior Jeff Whiteman as Vice-Principal. We were all excused from classes for the day and we were able to pull people out of UP ALL NIGHT - -■■- . ' ' iM c « c What do fun, friends, and food all have in common? You guessed it the Senior Ovemighter. This year ' s Se- nior Ovemighter was unique because it was the first Senior Ovemighter to be held eariy in the school year. Dur- ing previous year ' s, the Senior Over- nighter was held at the end of the ' school year. Mark Bycraft said, Hav- ing the Ovemighter at the beginning of the year was a good idea because it was an opportunity for many of the seniors to become closer friends be- fore our last year together ends. The evening began with a special mass presided over by Father Rybicki. After the mass, the seniors were free to roam about in the cafe and in the gym. Many to the seniors played vol- leyball and touch football while oth- ers danced the night away. At 10:00, the food arrived. The hungry seniors ate pizzas and chips and drank pop. When the food was gone, movies were shown in the cafeteria. The Karate fiJd and The Breakfast Club were main at- tractions. Many people fell asleep ear- ly, but some managed to stay up all night. These brave few were rewarded with first opportunities at the juice, milk, and donuts served for breakfast. After eating, the seniors returned home to catch up on a good night ' s sleep. Walter Kroll summed up the evening when he said, The Senior Ovemighter was fun, exciting, won- derful. It was . . .
