Gully-gee' theyre listening Jack and Joe grab attention orning announcements were usually dry, and students rarely both- ered to listen to them because they were too busy finishing last night's homework. But Iack's and Ioe's an- nouncements for the Senior Play, mug sale, and Hoop Night made them lis- ten - at least for a minute. joe Korpics said that he and lack Goldstein started making up the an- nouncement cuz Mr. Calvey wanted to know who was going to do it, and Harley Lawrence said we were. lt didn't take them too long to get into it. lack said, When we first start- ed doing 'em, they were really short, but they got longer. And funnier. We started out really corny be- cause ofthe Brady Bunch, Ioe said. Yeah, they were always saying things like 'golly-gee' and Swow' and we thought that was pretty funny. But now they're not that corny. They're more like punsfi lack said. The announcements won lack and Ioe a certain fame. Ioe said, We were practicing in the hall one day, and this kid came up and said, 'You two do 'em? Come on, say something 20 STUDENT LIFE prove it!' 'i And Mr. McFadden teases us about 'em sometimes, Iack said. Like when we did the one about Shakespeare's ghost. lack and Ioe agreed that it's more fun to make 'em up than when we do itf' Ioe said, Weill be laughing when we make 'em up, but when we do it in the office, nobody laughs. But a lot of kids in the school laugh, and some teachers too, Larry Sutter, Pete Cox, Eric Bartle - these guys are our testers If they don't laugh, we don't use 'em, Ioe said. Iack's father came up with a few of the lines Ioe and lack used. Like the one, 'What are you doing with that noose around your neck? I don't know, just hanging around. But most of their lines were original. And they got an original response, too. People stopped doing homework long enough to listen to the announce- ments. fAbovej Things that happen back stage are just as important as what happens on stage.
