Usually on a spirit day, you can expect to see two things: outrageous costumes and Blane Hornung participating with the intention of wearing the least amount of clothing possible, as exemplified from the time he wore a toga on Throwback Thursday and booty shorts for Country Day. Hornung is most known for being on SCA as the school’s Vice President, as well as being a part of the morning announcements. Hornung is also a four year member in what he calls “The best sport in the school,” baseball.

   Other than the obvious interest, Hornung considers himself the next Ted Mosby from How I Met Your Mother. Architecture is something Hornung wants to pursue because it gives him a chance to change the world “one building at a time.” Hornung also calls himself a ladies man, saying his ideal date would be taking the perfect girl to the rooftop of his bachelor pad, have a romantic candle and starlit picnic with his world famous lobster and scallop linguine alfredo while watching her favorite Disney classic under the stars.

   Hornung is convinced he has what it takes to win Mr. PFHS because he is “a dashing young gentleman who has fantastic talent, the best escort [Social Science teacher Mrs. Jennifer High], and is sure to wow the audience with my bodacious act.”

   Hornung has already planned out his Mr.  PFHS winning celebration.

   “I’d go to Disney World to celebrate and then probably go to school the next day, dreading everything about it and wishing I was in college, having a grand ole time,” said Hornung.

A:  “‘Milkshake’ by Kelis.”

Q:  If you could have dinner with anyone, dead or alive, who would it be?
