• • 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!
