Our school mocks the local beauty pageant that is held during Oktoberfest in Kitchener-Waterloo by holding a Ms. Oktoberfest contest. Each home room selects a willing male who must have a casual and evening wear outfit. The contest is held in the cafeteria at lunch and contestants are judged on their poise, character and ensembles. Home rooms are also asked to bring in canned food for our food drive and each participants total is added to their score. We're not sure who has more fun: the girls getting they guys all tarted up or the guys sashaying up and down the catwalk. Our winner gets a pedicure and dozen roses. Yes there are teachers willing to touch their feminine side as well.
