1 ...ss r ,. sq . as Q fu- Sadies ' In A Super Time The time had once again arrived when girls had the opportunity to ask that long time crush or special friend to the Sadie Hawkins Dance. It was also time for feelings of uncertainty and anxiousness. Were you ever going to get up the nerve to ask? If you did, was he going to say yes? These questions wandered in the minds of many girls for weeks prior to the dance. Once the girls did get around to asking for a date, they had a chance to get to know him better while shopping together for matching shirts. It was tradition for couples to wear the same outfit to the dance. This gave them a chance to talk and get to know one another before they arrived at the dance. Junior Lucy Palomanes stated, We almost had as much fun shopping as we did at the dance. Behind the scenes preparation i . . went into the creation of a success- ful evening. The A.S.B. officers and the rest of the Student Coun-- cil had the difficult task of plan- ning the event. They put in hard work and gave of their time and ideas. Their hard work ensured a fun evening for all. After the plan- ning was finished, they had the task of hiring a disk jockey who could play a variety of music. Three special activities were planned for the Sadie Hawkins. Two giant video screens were fea- tured so people could watch vid- eos while dancing. A fake jail was set up and friends could hire guards to place couples in the cell for a certain amount of time. The most popular activity of the even- ing was the Chapel of Enchant- mentv. Couples exchanged make- believe vows and received a make- i i 4 believe marriage certificate. The evening was filled with many activities which helped to ease the strain of a first date. The uncertainty of what couples should talk about and what, if anything, would come of a rela- tionship was still a reality. This Sadie Hawkins dance, however, didnlt give anyone a chance to be bored. Couples werenit the only people to have a good time. Those who chose to go alone enjoyed them- selves as well. They spent time talking with friends and dancing. All in all, the dance was an op- portunity for an original evening for couples and singles alike. It was a chance to renew old friend- ships and welcome new ones. The Sadie Hawkins dance was in fact, the perfect kick-off to the Valen- tine's Day celebration.
