Mane Man drew in quite a bit of money this year, with the highest bid on a student being $800. Senior Alejandro Norato, won the title of Mane Man, as well as the Daddy Warbucks award for winning the highest bid.

The competition was run by the cheerleaders and Project Grad this year, and had a more serious note than previous years. A casual wear dance number opened up the show, followed by interviews, bidding, special guests and other dance numbers by the Mane Man candidates.

Norato says his win was unexpected, and hasn’t figured out what he’s doing with the two prom tickets yet. However, he does know that he wants to send the lady that bid $800 on him his winning crown and cape as a thank you.

“You know honestly, I came in here expecting the worst,” Norato said. “I didn’t even think I was going to place at all, but I won. I’ve never done anything like this before.”

Another highlight of the night was the auction of the Cedar Park Center Suite for graduation. The suite fits 22 people and eventually sold for $900.
