The story · 1986

The story of Principal Dunk Tank

Once a year Principal Hargrove sat on the plank in his tie and a swim cap, taunting the crowd through a megaphone. The line stretched past the cake walk and the face painting table. Most kids missed by a mile, but when a quiet second grader finally hit the bullseye, the splash soaked the PTA table and the whole school cheered.

Fun fact

Principal Hargrove claimed the water was heated, but his teeth chattered so loudly the front row could hear it.
