Junior John( J. P.) Cantwell was declared 2017 Mr. Carlynton in a pageant held April 22. The annual event drew surprise and laughter as contestants rivaled to capture a gold medal in a competition skewed on an Olympic theme.

During a formalwear competition, the boys, with escorts, swaggered across the stage sporting tuxedos, graciously donated for the evening by Men’ s Wearhouse. In the closing ceremony, judges( teachers Michelle Dzurenda, Anthony

Istik, Michael Kozy, Lindsey Smith and Matt Stagl) tallied scores to declare J. P. as the gold medal winner. Stuart Dougherty was dubbed Mr. Congeniality, nominated by the contestants, and Collin Fox won People’ s Choice Award by popular vote. Proceeds from the event benefitted the junior and senior classes. Mrs. Tracy Post, teacher and senior class sponsor, organized the event with the help of class officers and volunteers.
