Students Pay To Dunk Principal, AP Hundreds Wait in Line For Their Chance to Help GARNER-- Principal Kenneth Barnes felt bold Friday. As he sat perched atop a small seat in a dunking booth, he taunted hundreds of students as they tried-- some as many as 10 times each-- to hit the button that would land him under water. Students bought as many throws as their money could buy for a chance to see Barnes and their assistant principal Kristy Stephenson submerged for a cause. At 50 cents a chance, students threw a total of 1,500 times to bring another $750 to the students' efforts to raise money for victims of Katrina. The school has now raised a grand total of $3,000 since their relief efforts began. Barnes caught a cold, but he says it was worth the determination he saw on the students' faces on Friday.
