Modeling, talents, question and answers. Most would think “beauty pageant.” And while it is true it is considered a “pageant,” there’s one difference: the contestants are all guys.

North’s Mr. FHN will be held April 16 at 6 p.m. in the auditorium. Contestants will be asked to answer a series of questions and show off their best talent. Previously,
the contest has had a fairly large turnout. Junior Thu Nguyen is attending this year for the first time.
“I’m excited to go to Mr. FHN for my first time,” Nguyen said. “All of the guys have worked hard. They have a lot of guts for putting on a great show for the audience.”
Junior Eddy Connell is one of these such contestants.
He plans to sing for the audience. He’s singing “Black” by Pearl Jam while junior David Hoehn plays guitar alongside of him.
“I’m most looking forward to being silly and having fun,” Connell said. “I’m not nervous about anything because everyone in the audience already knows me.”
Talents in the past have included dancing, short skits, and even comedy. Along with their talents, contestants must also perform an opening number as a large group which is choreographed by StuCo officer Ashley Campise.
“It’s just funny to watch all the guy leaders in the school being silly and showing off for everyone,” StuCo sponsor Shelly Grimshaw said.
Students are heavily anticipating a great show with the talent this year.
“[This year], Mr. FHN is going to have more competition and more talent than ever before,” junior Zack Short said.
