Size Ive feet were shoved into seven ladies’ shoes, her’s old dresses and wigs le out of the closet to be n by their sons. Yes, by r sons. The 1984 PCHS rs’ Beauty Pageant was ut to begin. oxy, Roxy, Glenna Lauper, Peppermint Patty and Magno¬ lia Blossom were just a few of the outrageous names the dazzling men used. Not only were their names hilarious, but the acts they put on when they went on stage were the most comical acts you had ever seen. The Pageant was sponsored by the senior class. It was the only money-making venture for the senior class. The mon¬ ey went towards the senior picnic and graduation ex¬ penses. There was standing room only due to the large turnout of spectators. Partici¬ pants were wall-to-wall in the dressing room. The Pageant was fun for all who participated. “I think it’s the easiest way for the senior class to finance the picnic and graduation,” said Coach Reedy who was senior class sponsor. After the many hours of preparation, even their moth¬ ers could have been fooled. As onlooker Missy Lorton said, “Some of the resemblances to girls were unbelievable.” Just as the boys dressed to be women, the girls dressed as boys. They did this as escorts; and while laughing in some instances, arm-in-arm with the beauties, took them to their places on the risers. Overall, the pageant was a big success and the turnout was great. But for some of the participants, it was the most embarrassing moment of their lives.
