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. The Clarion interviewed Jon and his thoughts on the competition.

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

Jon Di Filippo: I’m a part of something.

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

Jon Di Filippo: My dad may finally love me if I win.

Clarion Reporter: Do you think you will win?

Jon Di Filippo: Sometimes.

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

Jon Di Filippo: I don’t really know anybody else in the show.

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

Jon Di Filippo: I like to brush my teeth six or seven times a day.

Good luck Jon!
