The Boy ' s Beauty Pageant was a real humorous experience. — Jennifer Johnston The First S enior boys from the Class of ' 85 raid¬ ed their mother ' s closet to find the most alluring outfit possible. Lights were dimmed and the ravishing beau¬ ties were escorted onto the stage. Many of these fellows swallowed their pride and transformed themselves into the opposite sex. Styles for this extrava¬ ganza were exotic and unusual ranging from Hawaiian dancers to Tina Turner ' s Lady little sister. During intermission, entertainment was provided by Junior Page. The contes¬ tants decided not to refresh themselves but instead danced for the audience. There was not a moment of silence as the audience rolled in the aisle with laughter. Many persons could have mis¬ taken these fellows for ladies. 18 Student Life

Stringed instruments are a favorite object of the Appalachian culture. Teresa Wheeling, a former PCHS graduate, demonstrates the dulcimer. Festival of Life We learned alot; we were exposed to a lot of cultural things like the Ferrum College and Radford College Programs. — Sam Leary T he first APPALACHIAN CELEBRA¬ TION was held at PCHS on Satur¬ day, May 11, 1985. Sponsored by the APPALKIDS, the event gave students and community the unique opportuni¬ ty to see, taste, touch, and hear the rich¬ ness of the Appalachian culture. The Commons teemed with aromatic smells; pit-cooked barbeque chicken prepared by Roscoe Farris of Dublin; spicy-sweet apple pies; and brown beans served with hot buttered corn bread. Twenty-three exhibits were present¬ ed and proved to be both enlightening and fun. A favorite demonstration was the operation of the spinning wheel by Grace Leary of Radford. In the Little Theatre, the audiences were entertained with music from the APPALPICKERS; a premiere perfor¬ mance of a Jack Tale, Jack and the Rob¬ bers by the APPALPLAYERS; a demon¬ stration of the history and operation of the American long rifle by Thurlo Sud¬ den of Pilot, Virginia; a rousing perfor¬ mance by the Hick and Heck Cloggers of Blacksburg; and a musical history pre¬ sentation of the five-string banjo by John Viers of Dublin. By the day ' s end, all participants felt a greater appreciation for the place they called home. Appalkids 17
