On Monday, December 7, Précis held their annual pageant to honor students, especially seniors of the class of 2021. The night began with the Beauties and Beaux, who were introduced by the emcees, Précis’ own Owen Lundberg, Abbie Mask, Mallory Reedy, and Bradley Stafford.

Silver Bells, the pageant’s theme, was reflected with the night’s first performance by Tori Johnston and Bradley Stafford who sang the titular song by Bing Crosby and Rosemary Clooney. The pageant featured performances by several more seniors. Lilly Noble sang “I Can’t Make You Love Me” by Bonnie Raitt. Vocalist Luke Runnels and guitarist William McHenry jointly performed “Everybody’s Gotta Live” by Love. And Alex Roberson played his arrangement of “Only in Sleep” by Eriks Esenvalds on the piano.

Between each performance, a few of the student-selected winners of “Senior Superlatives” and class favorites were announced.

Most artistic were Hayden Mathis and Carlie Gleason. Most school spirited were Cass Rutledge and Rosy Ruffin. Most artistic were Thaxton Berch and Olivia Sasser. Most charming were Jack Baker and Dylan Freeman. Friendliest were Dax Murphy and Sarah Herring. Wittiest were Ethan Aldridge and Victoria Chough. Most talented were Bradley Stafford and Tatum Henry. Most versatile were Alex Roberson and Lauren Noe. Most likely to succeed were Mason Nichols and Liddy Hurst. Most intellectual were Selby Ireland and Kimberly Blount.

The misters and misses of each grade were announced along with the superlatives. Mister and Miss Sophomore Class were Maddox Noe and Anders Morgan. Mister and Miss Junior Class were Ben Futvoye and Evelyn Thorton. Mister and Miss Senior Class were Mills Murphy and Aubrey Scott Moak.

After all of the performance and awards, Jeffrey Ince and Abbey Mangum were declared the most handsome and most beautiful seniors respectively. To close out the night, John Henry Andress and Tori Johnston were announced as Mr. and Miss Jackson Prep.

The Précis Pageant is a great way for seniors to reminisce on their high school years and be recognized for achievements that may otherwise go unnoticed. None of this would be possible without the hard work and dedication of the entire Précis staff and its sponsor Ms. Anna Griffin. The Sentry is proud of its sister publication.
