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 sat down with Carter Mascis, junior, and found out what tricks he has up his sleeve.

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

Carter Mascis: I am a part of the football team and the lacrosse team. I’m also involved with student council and class cabinet.

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

Carter Mascis: I decided to do Mr. Hawthorne to make a fool out of myself and what better way to do that than on stage in front of the whole school.

Clarion Reporter: Do you think you will win?

Carter Mascis: I think I have a bit of a chance to take this. This is a hard year for me, being a new contestant and all. It’s rough, but I believe I can power through.

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

Carter Mascis: My competitors this year are flipping good! Gio is my biggest concern, his good looks and amazing skills seem hard to beat. George also had an amazing performance last year and his performance this year will be hard to top.

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

Carter Mascis: I want the town of Hawthorne to know that I’m in it to win it. I want them to know that I’m very fierce and I will fight hard to win this competition.

Good luck Carter!
