      The

      Hospital
      in
      Hali-

      is
      one
      that
      all
      Maritime
     
     
      families
      may
      need
      at
      least
     
     
      once
      in
      their
      life.
     
    

    
     
      The
      IWK
      is
      now
      in
      its
     
     
      100th
      year
      of
      service
      and
     
     
      is
      receiving
      tons
      of
      support
     
     
      from
      Maritime
      radio
      stations
     
     
      and
      more
      importantly
      from
     
     
      UPEI
      and
      UPEI

      On
      Feb.
      25,
      McMillan
      Hall
     
     
      housed
      a
      number
      of
      innocent
     
     
      bystanders
      and
      judges

      ertson
      and
      Dean
      Lund
      for
     
     
      the
      first
      IWK
      Male
      Pageant.
     
     
      Donations
      were
      accepted
     
     
      throughout
      the
      evening,
      and
     
     
      it
      wouldn’t
      have
      been
      sur-
     
     
      prising
      to
      see
      bills
      stuffed
      in
     
     
      the
      participants’
      garters,
      be-
     
     
      cause
      yes,
      there
      were
      garters
     
     
      worn.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      The
      pageant
      was
      broken
      ~
     
    
   
   
    
     
      into
      three
      categories:
      Bar
     
     
      Wear,
      Sleepwear
      and
      Formal
     
     
      Wear.
      Although,
      the
      catego-
     
     
      ries
      seemed
      to
      overlap
      an
     
     
      awful
      lot.
      For
      this
      reason,
     
     
      I’ve
      decided
      to
      award
      prizes
     
     
      on
      behalf
      of
      the

      The
      only
      contestant
      who
     
     
      dared
      to
      wear
      heels,
      Miss
     
     
      Demanda
      worked
      the
      stage
     
     
      like
      a
      pro.
      Responding
      to
     
     
      the
      question
      “What
      size
      are
     
     
      you
      anyways?”
      with
      “what
     
     
      size
      do
      you
      want
      me
      to
      be”
     
     
      cemented
      the

      that

      was
      a

      Draping
      her/his

      body
      across
      the

      table
     
     
      with
      a
      surprising
      amount
     
     
      of
      class,
      Miss

      was
