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.
