L, An Uglyman By Any Other Name is . . . by: Cecelia Nichols On March 8, 1986, Lashon Craig, representing the Fil- Am Club, was crowned Mr, Uglyman by reigning Miss Pirateer, Toni D. Blackman. There were some 70 students, faculty, and family members on hand to witness the event. Mistress of Ceremonies, Suzanne Becker presented Mr. Uglyman and his court, as Vickie Hunter and Carolyn Dollete crowned them. Royal Blue, Silver, and Black decorations adorned the cafeteria, as students dance to Tender Love, played by Doormans Productions. This year, the Mr. Uglyman Dance set a precedent. Rather than begin held on the traditional Friday night from 8 p.m. to ll p.m. it was held on a Saturday until Midnight. In addition, the customary names were changed from Sea Faring characters to those of the Knights of the Round Table. Members of the court were: Sir Bedivere, Danny Arroyo, escorted by Cecelia Nichols, Sir Gawain, Jerry Clark, escorted by Kim Rhodes, Merlin, Kevin Confetti, escorted by Sandi Valencia, Sir Percival, Michael George, escorted by Maria Vossos, Sir Galahad, Lee Dongallo, escorted by Erin Cronan, Sir Lancelot, Mike Crespo, escorted by Debbie Clawson, and Mr. Uglyman, Lashon Craig, escorted by Regina Harrison.

Niteclub Sells Out Again by: Christine V. Carlson The 9th annual Nightclub Tonight was another hugh success for the Performing Arts Area of PHS. The yearly fund raiser, held March 7 in the cafeteria, offered the audience a Mexican dinner, catered by the New Mecca, provided a live show put on by students, and wrapped up the night with dancing to a D.J.'s tunes. 375 people paid S8 to be seated in the cafeteria for this sold out event. Dinner was served by students, acting as waiters and waitresses for the evening. By 8:30 the show began. Richard Watkins, the Master of Ceremonies, intro- duced the acts and entertained the audience with his jokes. The acts featured students either singing, dancing, or doing comedy skits, A chaser band entertained between acts. After the show, D.J. Miguel Soto played records for the dancing pleasure of those remaining, until midnight. Mr. Orrin Cross and Mrs. Sharon Van Nest put together this special night. Students were selected to keep the show going. Stage Manager Paul Nelson kept the technical part of the show moving, while Evette Castillo served as maitre d' to the guests. This year we had a D.J. rather than a live band, which seemed to work very well, considering the number of people dancing, commented Mr. Cross, after the night was over.
