Grace Hall was full of entertainment on Friday, Nov. 16, where Cabrini students competed for the title of Mr. and Miss Cabrini. George Post and Christina Cimmino were chosen to be Mr. and Miss Cabrini of 2007.

Jack Sparrow opened the show by performing magic tricks and reading the minds of people in the audience. Sparrow introduced the three judges sitting in the back of the room, along with Mr. and Miss Cabrini of 2006, Jake Verterano and Christina Moglioni.

Four men and seven women from Cabrini competed in the Mr. and Miss Cabrini Pageant.

Each student was nominated by an organization with which they are involved. Mary Kate Korp, Christina Cimmino, Melissa Barrett, Annette Donato, Gina Mulranen, Nicole Hearn, Colleen Lefevre, Nick Moffa, Robert Moran, George Post and Patrick Trencansky kept the crowd entertained for the evening. Each competitor was announced by a song of their choice and paraded down the run way.

Each candidate had to reveal a talent of theirs in front of the audience and judges. The talents varied from singing a song and performing a dance routine to a magic show and baking cookies. Each student was full of energy and went above and beyond to find a talent to entertain the audience.

Mary Kate Korp, a junior elementary and special education dual major, said, “I really don’t have a performing talent, so I had to come up with one as quickly as possible. I knew I wanted to do something that would be original and entertaining, so Brian Scelzo gave me a crash course in performing magic tricks.”

The audience received a set of clappers, mints and a question card to write down a question of their choice to ask the students during the question round. Sparrow entertained the audience with magic tracks between each act. The judges eliminated seven contestants and chose the winners by asking one serious and one fun question that the audience provided.

Post was nominated by CAP Board and Cimmino by Student Government. He ran for Mr. Cabrini in the 2006 pageant and did not win.

Post, a senior English and communications major, said, “Last year, everyone around me expected me to win and I lost, so I tried not to get my hopes up this year, but it was awesome!”

Cimmino was unsure if she wanted to participate in the pageant, when first nominated. But, after much support from friends and family, she decided to compete for the crown.

Cimmino, a junior English and communications major, said, “I think the entire experience was just a huge rush and felt even better knowing that my family had come all the way from New York and I made the trip worth it for them.”

Rowan. The problem here is that Garrett knew about the affair between Owen’s wife and friend Ikey. As you can imagine Owen isn’t Garrett’s biggest fan. The love life Garrett has doesn’t seem to be working right now. Sometimes hanging on to a memory of what was isn’t the route to travel. Garrett needs a fresh start without the high school sweetheart, Hannah.

Either way he’s back for good or so it seems.

Speaking of high school sweethearts, has Hannah finally opted out of what could be with Nick? It’s quite possible, although the thought seems to still linger in the back of her mind.

Just as we thought Ray “Big Cat” Cataldo was finally out of Hannah’s life, he and his two sons, Casper and Jasper, are right back in. Maybe he’s just a spot holder, or just second best to what she really wants?

Eddie and Hannah take part in a shady conversation. What exactly is it they need to tell Nick? Is Eddie really the father of Hannah’s son? The plot thickens.

Eddie Latekka has finally taken Janet out to see the light of day in public! Thank the lord! It’s about time. There’s not much else to say about Eddie other than he and Janet have made it official.

Owen Rowan has a lot on his plate. What in the world will he due with his unfaithful wife and conniving friend? Physical Phil is still locked up in his house. Will he ever come out and see the light of day?

It’s only two episodes into the second season. Now we wait and see what transpires.

Fire alarms in Grace Hall Monday, Nov. 12 were only a minor delay to the movie “Hairspray,” which aired in celebration of Cabrini week. Dozens of students came out for rootbeer floats, popcorn and a movie flash back to the ‘60s.

“It is really great that Cabrini is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the college, and that clubs and organizations are supporting it, with reinforcement from student participation.” Brittany Decicco, a senior history major, said.

There was much to celebrate too with free mugs, and even a cozy lawn chair given out to everyone who attended the event. Not to mention the upbeat and comical musical “Hairspray,” which triggered much laughter within the student body.

The movie was a second take on the first one which came out in 1988. It is set in the ‘60s during times when blacks and whites were not treated equal on television shows. It takes a ridiculously playful approach to equality for all.
