New Mr. Bellaire named

The Nov. 29 event pitted 25 senior boys against each other in swimsuit, talent and formal wear competition, with audience favorites emerging in all shapes and sizes. The 6-foot-2-inch Beck's interests include mixed martial arts and lifting weights. The competition was divided into six "acts," beginning with the introduction of each contestant performing "signature moves" with his escort. Among the more creative talents were Nathan Jackson's crowd-pleasing, comedic baton-twirling routine, Matthew Cummings' colored-lights show and Kevin Lefkowitz's performance of animal mating calls. Somers placed second overall, followed by Gabe Byrd, who was also voted Mr. Congeniality; Alexander Chu; and Jonathan Dror, who also won best smile in the casting of more than 765 votes at school lunch time and on Facebook. For winning the title of Mr. Bellaire 2013, Beck received a banner, a 4-foot-tall trophy, a full-page photo in the school yearbook and other prizes.
