A Shower of Beauties As everyone took his seat in the Little Theater on November 16, 1986, the question of who would be the new Miss PGHS crossed the minds of many. This year the pageant was dif¬ ferent in that the girls not only wore an evening gown but casual wear also. The girls were still required to have a sponsor and pay the $5.00 entry fee. As the curtain opened, the theme, A Shower of Beauties, was revealed. The fifty-five girls were ready to vie for the title. The masters of ceremony for the evening were Howard Petruziello and Chris Bushong. The contestants were escorted by seniors Randy Chinault, Mark Cox, Maurice Cousins, and Tommy Patterson. The contestants first appeared in their casual wear; each gave her name and sponsor. The girls then changed into their evening gowns. The contes¬ tants each had a turn on the stage. After all fifty-five girls had appeared, the judges with- Masters of ceremony, Chris Bushong and Howard Petruziello call the six finalists out on stage.

The con¬ testants were narrowed to twenty-three, then sixteen for the third round. Each of these girls was asked the question “What are your plans for the fu¬ ture?” The contestants were then narrowed down to the six finalists; they were Dawn Dillon, Angie Johnston, Shelly Mabe, Dana Long, Kim Meredith, and Nicole Wagner. The judges took one last look before deciding the winner. Miss PCHS of 1985, Susan ! Mitchell, took her last walk on stage before crowning her successor. The results were given to the MC’s and they announced the winners. They 1 were second-runner-up Angie Johnston, first-runner-up Sh- ( elly Mabe, and the new Miss PCHS 1986, Dana Long. Dana accepted her crown with great joy and enthusiasm. Dana would now reign until next fall when she would crown her successor. 20 - Miss PCHS
