McDaniel is 1987 “Mr. Panther” anther Prowl 87 was bigger and better than ever before! The action packed evening featured everything from a death- defying bicycle act to a 100 foot long hotdog-like, air filled plastic sculpture. The StuCo sponsored event, (spear-headed by advisor Ken Meyer, president Traci Charbonneau. and vice-president Nicole Hanson), en- abled fourteen various clubs and organizations to raise money for their annual goals. Approximately $434 were divided up by the groups at the end of the night. Special attractions included; a FHA tricycle race, a C-club car bash, a Spanish club tortilla-flipping contest, and an OEA nerf-ball hoop shoot. Even the Sports club jail imprisoned many teachers and students throughout the night for misbehavior, penalties lasted ten minutes and a nominal charge enabled a person to leove early. Without question, the highlight of the evening was the ever-popular, action packed Mr. Panther contest. Nine supposedly talented'' seniors competed for the illustrious title with the judges finally selecting Andre McDaniel as its overall winner. Their selection was based on talent, legs, and workability within a group. Close runner-ups were juggling phenom Lenn Shipman and freestyle biker Tad Collins. Lenn pumped up the crowd with a juggling act to the song Wipe Out. Tad thrilled the crowd with his hi-tech bike by having people from the audience Idy on their backs, side by side, and jumping over them. He cleared not one, not two, but three humans who sacrificed their bodies for the benefit of the performance. Needless to say, the crowd went wild. A special thanks to the participants in the contest; Winner Andre McDaniel, Neal Hartshorn, Lenn Shipman, Terry Carlgren. Bryan Vignery. Trent Coppoc, Jeff Burdett, Tad Collins, and Kendall Talley. 4 Panther Prowl

An estimated 5,000 people attended the gala event. The day started with running and bicycle races early in the morning. At 11:00 AM the parade began which included several marching bands and many colorful floats. The parade was an- nounced by Randy Lagasse. After the parade people had a chance to explore Concordia’s downtown area, which was lined with booths and food stands. There were also craft exhibits from people all over the state. Entertainment was pro- vided throughout the day by talented groups and individuals from some of the surrounding counties and communities. The Fall Fest activities were wrapped up with a street dance that featured the band “After the Fact”.
