"We were careful about which females we allowed around the set and on camera. They had to fit certain criteria," stated Jaekle in the recent the Rolling Stone article "Whatever became of Delmo?"

"The chicks had to have a working knowledge of Vietnam and guerilla warfare besides," said Pan in his classic MTV interview of 1994. "We filled our car trunks with props, equipment, gear, and all sorts of crap... and a few girls came along for the ride."

"I hung around the girls more than with my fellow male actors." said Boomer in the fall 1999 issue of "Lumberjack Weekly." "The girls were so close that we all shared the same menstrual cycle."

The story line of Possum was about a group of army commandos who escaped from a science lab to elude de-evolution and an enemy called the Zeons.

Pancio completed the first audio narrative just in time for the debut on February 2, 1979. As part of the Student Council’s Winter Weekend festivities, the Friday night event attracted 350 moviegoers.

"Unfortunately, poor audio technology hampered the experience, and nobody could understand what the hell the picture was about." said Renny.

"It was a government conspiracy!" argued Boomer. "We tested the sound before the show and it was fine. The FBI and some Black Ops Organizations (that will go unmentioned) must have used some audio jamming equipment during the show. They didn’t want the general public to know the true story that we were trying to tell."

Despite the sound problems, the Pan-Con crew members were elevated to artistic hero status in town. "We were right up there with legendary figures like Bud Fenton, Lee Frair, and Jazz Peterson," notes Pockalny.

GI magazine caught up with Randy for a May 1994 interview. Bretzin quipped to editor Jim Roberts while glancing at an old copy of the Possum cast, "The only reason that THAT movie was a success was because the people on screen were among the leadership class of students, a sociological strata level that Jung referred to as ‘the cool, in-crowd’, and most everyone else was just following our lead".

Dave Klotz and Tim Russell became stars for their roles in a preview that opened Possum. Cindy and Sue were joined by Kim Coast, the only chicks in the flick. John Sprague and Todd Reynolds were seen on film for their coolness. And several extras were added.

Most were football players and cheerleaders. All were multi-sport athletes. "Expression of art in this unique way generally does not come out of the social subculture of football... in the high school setting, anyways," noted original Pan-Con lead actor, Gary Swetland.
