McNary High School Awards
The Ken Collins Theater at McNary Senior High School in Keizer, Oregon also uses Golden Onions as an award. The Drama Department hand makes and spray paints real onions on bases gold. The onions are then awarded to various actors, technicians and crew of the year's productions. Some awards focus on funny or embarrassing actions but most of the awards are highly anticipated and are an honor to receive. The actors, technicians and crew of the year’s productions choose the recipients. Skits and entertainment pieces by students, some of which poke fun at the teacher, Dallas Myers, and the productions, usually punctuate the presentation of the awards. The Golden Onions production is run by technicians in training, as part of their technical theatre class. The department's Thespian Troupe helps with some of the after production work because the ceremonies and festivities go from 5:30 pm to 11:45 pm. The production is also a major fundraiser for the department; Ken Collins Theater is annually sold out for this production. On 2012 takes place the 15th annual Golden Onions.

Famous quotes containing the words high and/or school:
“Why does not the kitten betray some of the attributes common to the adult puss? A puppy is but a dog, plus high spirits, and minus common sense. We never hear our friends say they love puppies, but cannot bear dogs. A kitten is a thing apart; and many people who lack the discriminating enthusiasm for cats, who regard these beautiful beasts with aversion and mistrust, are won over easily, and cajoled out of their prejudices, by the deceitful wiles of kittenhood.”
—Agnes Repplier (1858–1950)
“Bodily offspring I do not leave, but mental offspring I do. Well, my books do not have to be sent to school and college, and then insist on going into the church, or take to drinking, or marry their mother’s maid.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
