Hawthorne High School’s Mr. Hawthorne talent show is on March 4 at 7:30 PM in the HHS auditorium. The Clarion sat down with each of the contestants to get a chance to see what they think of the show and their chances to take the Mr. Hawthorne crown. They have been working day and night practicing their killer routines and are prepared to dazzle the crowds with their charm. We got the inside scoop on first time contestant, Alex Ferriola.

Clarion Reporter: What are some things that you are a part of at HHS?

Alex Ferriola: Well I am the student council class president, co founder of the Ping Pong Club, the current homecoming king and a part time baseball player.

Clarion Reporter: Why did you decide to do Mr. Hawthorne?

Alex Ferriola: “When life gives you lemons you make lemonade,” so I felt like I had to go out for Mr. Hawthorne.

Clarion Reporter: Do you think you will win? What do you think of your competition? Who do you think is your biggest competitor?

Alex Ferriola: All the guys are ready to go this year and I’m excited to see what they bring…but Marc Crilly scares me because of his rather sketchy background!

Clarion Reporter: Tell us something about yourself that you want the audience at Mr. Hawthorne and the Hawthorne community to know.

Alex Ferriola: I think my parents wanted a girl.

Good luck Alex!
