MEA Says This Year 'Best Luau Yet'
by Kelly Parker
Meredith Entertainment Association
sponsored its annual Luau picnic Wednes
day, October 9,1991 from 4:30-6:00pm in
the courtyard. Entertainment was provided
by Rick Kelley, a one-man show wiUi electric
keybaord and several props designed to
encourage audience participation. Dinner
was provided by ARA, and consisted of
Hawaiian dishes such as terikayi chicken,
pork ribs, com on the cob, a fruit table, and
other luau-style treats.
Student attendance was excellent, and
many were in line at 4:30 to fill their plates
and enjoy the entertainment, Rick Kelley
was sure to include the audience in several
old Motown favorites. He choreographed
dance routines to “Wait ‘til the Midnight
Hour”, “Under the Boardwalk”, and more
old favorites. The limbo contest was also a
hit, with Michelle Gleason proving to be the
most flexible participant and winning a
bouquet of balloons for being the last person
still standing at the end.
Juniors Kate Walker and Joy Wilcher
chaired the event, and were very pleased
with the student participation. “Turnout
was great.. .1 was estatic”, Walker said.
“Rick enjoyed himself because of the
enthuastic student interaction. We espe
cially enjoyed Dr. Walton’s good sports
manship, and appreciate him limboing with
us. I only wish more faculty had showed up
to enjoy the luau.”
When asked what they enjoyed most about
the luau, most students replied, “the enter
tainment!” Senior Melanie Overby states,
“Rick Kelley is very entertaining”, while
senior Laurie Coleman comments, “This
guy is trippin’ me out!” Meredith Smith, a
sophomore, was amazed that the luau was
“actually Hawaiian”, while junior Tamara
Seamone said the best aspect for her was,
“not studying!”
“We hope the luau continues to be a fa
vorite annual event”, stated Meredith En
tertainment Association President Jacqui
Dato. “Tl\is year’s luau was the best yet!”
