Miss America—no, Mr. Falcon You would have thought it was a famous rock star 's concert, with all of the screaming girls. But. in reality, it was the Mr. Fal- con contest with hand- some male contestants from each grade Our own Mr. Marco Monea was the master of ceremonies for this event, which raised funds for the Student Council The contest was orchestrated by Mrs Knuth and the Student Council, and included a beachwear competition, where contes- tants were encouraged to flex their stuff; a group tal- ent segment, and, of course, a formal wear competition Each segment was supplemented by musical interludes per- formed by various vocal and instrumental ensembles. The atmosphere of the evening was less than competitive, except in the area of who could be the biggest ham The audience certainly got more than it bargained for at an admis- sion price of only $2.00. The turn-out was better than expected. After some intense com- petition four finalists were selected, one representa- five from each grade. To determine which one of the finalists would be crowned, each was asked a skill testing question. The winner was decided upon by four judges, three female alumni and iimmy Hoffa-later exposed as Mr. Smetek. The final decision crowned senior finalist Bob Swider as the 1987 Mr. Falcon Q By: K Duffy THE CONTESTANTS FRFSHUEN W am LaPonte Mark Pappa , fmakst km Rodman Kevin Schrveders SOPHOMORES Chris F atraut Stex-e Reko ski Mr Muscles OS Terski Scot r Woodman, rinakst RJSHORS Talent Winners.

Sadie's: Sock-Hop Style The Sadie's Dance has been a long-standing tradi- tion, but this year, the dance under went a few changes. This year's theme was D.C.'s Bandstand with music mostly from the 50's and 60's. The dance was still the traditional girl-ask- guy date-dance, but the atmosphere declined from an almost semi-formal oc- casion to a strictly casual New moves from senior Tami Brozek and her brother, sopho- more Mike Brozek. enlivened the dance floor. Even though most of the music was from decades be- fore, some new music was played. evening, where even jeans were permitted. Many students were up- set by the change in the dress code. Sadie's gives the students a chance to dress up and treat their dates to a nice night out, comparable to Homecom- ing. The argument that many students had with the new dress code was that they couldn't go to dinner at a really nice place if they dressed so casually, junior Michelle Whalen said, I was looking forward to getting dressed up and going out; it's not everyday that we get a chance to do this. With the sudden change in the dress code, a lot of the anticipation and excitement was taken away. Even though there were mixed emotions about the dress code and rumors that many thought the dance was too over-done in the past, it was well-at- tended and enjoyed by all. □ by: K.
