Dances play active role in students' lives Dances played a prominenr parr In almost every Neumann student's active life. Along with the frequent sock-hops after football and basketball games, Neumann students had the opportunity to attend the 20rh annual Homecoming, the chorus sponsored Halloween dance, the Valentine's Day Dance, the Junior-Senior Prom, and a new dance, the Sadie Hawkins. With extra money the Senior class sponsored a Sadie Howkin’s dance, and began a new tradition. A new format for getting a dote was required. The girls asked the boys to the dance, instead of the normal boy seeking the girl. This was a new experience for many of the girls and pretty scary as one girl commented. The idea of Sadie Hawkins comes from the cartoon strip Lil' Abner by Al Capp. In Dogpotch, Arkansas, one day our of the year is set aside for a race. The bachelors in the town get a head start and then the women rake off. If a sadie catches a man then he must marry her. The dance at Neumann wasn't quite as demanding, now boys simply attend the dance. Dances provided a welcome break in the monotony of the school and remoin a lorge port of Neumann's success. The Halloween Dance is sponsored by the chorus. Three prizes were awarded for the best costumes. First prize went to the rhreeheaded person, consisting of Pom Tvrdy, Pose Iwon and Karen Konecky. Second prize was awarded to the babies, Tim Pezac and Dill Dosrol. Lastly, third prize went to Doug Dohoc, the Elephant Man. As Freshman Linda Barry said, Dances provide on excellent opportunity to develop closer and better relationships with classmates. 10 Dances
