Sophomore wins Mr. Richmond Pageant
By Ryann Dannelly | April 12, 2012Jack Gilligan won the Mr. Richmond Pageant with his classic black suit, his response about his favorite memory in Lora Robins Court and his talent of flying a plane. CAB hosted the Mr. Richmond Pageant on April 10, featuring eight Richmond College students from a variety of organizations including Greek life, the Judicial Council, the track team and the ice hockey team. The participants were Gilligan, Bryan Scalici, Hunter Northcutt, Ryan Busch, Charlie Boles, Sean Livesey, Erich Mueller and Matt di Stefano. The two hosts for the event were Alyssa Davis and Alex McDilda. Participants competed for the chance to be named Mr. Richmond and the prize of Dr. Dre Beats headphones. The pageant was broken into three competitions. The first competition was the formal wear event in which the men "strutted their stuff," as Davis described, across the stage in suits that ranged from classic black and white to a green suit jacket and a suede black suit jacket. During the formal wear competition, the hosts shared interesting facts about the contestants to help the audience get to know them. Livesey's favorite childhood book was Everybody Poops by Taro Gomi.
