Foreign language
follies prove fun,
fantastic
by Sonali Kolhatkar
Merediht's annual "Foreign
Language Follies" was a hit. The
over-capacity crowd at Carswell
Auditorium cheered for each skit
that was performed. Meredith
studetns performed a multitude of
different skits, ranging fomr an aria
to a Spanish redition of "Im to
Sexy". Students were entertained
with Spanish monologues, songs,
commercials, and dances.
The French students also
entertained the audience with a
French cafe scene, songs, and the
infamous "Can Can," which was
performed expertly.
The Italian students
dazzled the audience with a
beautifully sung aria and an Italian
song-scene.
The German students
brought back childhood memories
in the reensactment of Grimm's
Fairy Tales.
The Latin students also
bourght back childhood memories
with their rendition of "Winnie il
Pu" and also a dramatic poetry
reading.
And last, but not least,
Meredith studetns had a special
treat. Dr. Burgunde Winz and Dr.
SUsan Gilbert recited four ancient
Chinese poems. They have been
studying the language for their
upcoming visit to CHina.
At the end of the follies,
each foriegn language department
was awarded a cake. Those who
won their cakes and got to eat
them, too, were the German
reenactment of Frimm's tales, the
Latin play, "Winnie il Pu", the
SPanish song: "I'm too Sexy,"
Michelle Fortner's Italian aria, and
the French students' "Can Can."
