Another fun and profitable fund-raiser was “Kiss the Pig.” This contest was sponsored by the gymnas tics team to raise money for gymnastic mats. The contestants, picked randomly from the Varsity football team, were Mark Frank, Tim Mannon, James Whittaker, and Scott Vest. Relief mixed with disappoint¬ ment as James Whittaker was chosen to pucker-up at this Homecoming pep rally event. Nearly two hundred dollars was raised, and James and the porker were none the worse for their efforts. 1 Fund Raisers 21

W e’re In The Money” “Can I bum a quarter?’’ I want to get a candy bar. This was a question often asked after school in the crowded commons area. Many students took advantage of the M M’s sold by the varsity cheerleaders and candy bars of¬ fered by the Appalkids. Other favorite fundraisers were pizzas, cheese sold by the golden Cougar Marching Band and Krispy Kreme Doughnuts sold by the choir. Unusual fundraisers included a magic show put on by the Science Club and Hardee’s Donation Dollars. You buy a ticket and redeem it at Hardee’s for a dollar; this was sponsored by SADD and a skate-a-thon was given by Choir. A blood pressure clinic was held by the HOSA Club to raise money for needy families. These fundraisers were different, new, and interesting to the students. The uses for the profits were as varied as the offerings. The Sci¬ ence Club raised money for a trip to the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D C. With its addi¬ tional funds the marching band purchased new equipment; and the chess team used their profits from sock hops, raffles, and donations to pay for their trip to National Championships in Albuquerque, New Mexico. All of the responses to the sales were said to be enthusiastic, and the clubs were grateful for the sup¬ port given by the student body. Mrs. Kelly, a HOSA sponsor said, “People have worked hard each week to meet our goals. ” Clubs and groups spent much of their time and energy to raise money to support their projects. “It was worth it,’’ said Mrs. Kelly.

• • N ot The Real Thing Ophelia Buns? Funni) hips and lightening lips? Who were these people? What were they doing? They were the boys from the Class of ' 87; They were nasty boys. There wasn ' t a moment of si¬ lence in the Little Theater on the night of the Mr. Mrs. P.C.H.S. Beauty Pageant. With the seats filled and the aisles packed, members of the audience roared with laughter at each contestant. Each took his turn to try to win the votes of the judges and to show family and friends his feminine look. With lady-like accessories and unusual outfits, ranging from mini skirts to jungle suits, contestants took their stand for the final cut. After the five finalists modeled and strutted the winners were announced. James Hardy was “Cutest,” Louis Johnson was “Hastiest,” Casey Nicely had the “Best Legs,” and Tom Masse was named Mr. Mrs. P.C.H.S. These four were not the real thing, but they were close. The entertainment was pro¬ vided by the band, “Lost Cause,” whose members in¬ cluded John Self, Edward Scott, Jim Fanning, David Jackson, and Jeremy Rhett. Chad King and Howard Petruziello entertained with a rap. Mr. Mickey Hickman was the But Close emcee for the pageant. When asked how he liked the Boys Beauty pageant, he said, “I think they’re great fun! I didn ' t know anyone personally, who entered it and wasn’t sorry that I didn ' t. ” By the end of the pageant the mom ' s of the audience began to wonder about their “masculine” sons.” They said, “Who knows, maybe they ' ll do the dishes when we get home.” What fun!
