Tables Turn on Sadie Hawkin's Day Lee Ann Swenson and Tom Rathbun flash big Sadie smites! Again, Sadie Hawkins brought girls one step closer to Women’s Liberation. Girls had a chance to take out their favorite guy, on Saturday, November 4. Girls were looking for light-weights rather than heavy-weights, on account of admission being a penny per pound for guys. Couples were dressed in “old grubbies” and danced to music provided by “Gravel Road.” Participation in the traditional hog-calling con- test consisted of three contestants, Bill Hayes was chosen outstanding hog-caller and was given a plastic pig. Kurt Lovrien and Debbie deDianous take a break. Scott Scepaniak, Debbie Haase and Bill Harris jive, jay Schlagel, Carla Van Beek, Tim Schweitzer and Lynn Halley stand by for hog-calling contest to begin.

Sue Gapp led the players onto the field to warm up for the big game. You looked excited, Sue. The seniors must ha 'e been planning to win. Tradition Broken Juniors and seniors experienced many tense moments through- out the Powder Puff game. Shelley Walker and Jean Leif, Roncalli Junior, look as if they were experiencing one of those tense moments.. The seniors must actually have been gaining some yards. 18 Some of the offensive players liked to talk over some plays while the defense was out on the field. Joy Schlagel, Ann Kurth, and Shelley Walker were discussing something when Charlotte Fischer, Roncalli junior, joined them. Girls, what was it you were talking about? After the seniors' loss in the Powder Puff game, the girls were quite disappointed. Just look at the long faces on Jean Trefz Lee Ann Rott, Carol Kiefer, Mary Kay Wollman, Melinda dea- con, Sheila Weismantel, Julie Torrence and June Podoll. In Powder Puff Several weeks before the Powder Puff game, moans and groans could be heard arising from the ranks of junior and senior girls out for this annual event. During the many hours of practice before the game, the girls learned the basics and many of the rules of football. History will show that in 1972 the traditional long line of senior victories was broken by the juniors who went ahead to a score of 26-20 after the game went into an extra quarter. While the girls were out playing football, the cheerleading was left up to the boys. However most of the boys failed to appear. Only two junior boys showed up, and the seniors didn’t have any cheer- leaders at all.

Pictured at the end of the play are Beth Westra, Kevin Button, Ai Lane, Steffen Porter and Cindy Midthun. Old Times Return in Melodrama Steffen Porter, Ai Lane, Dale Schornack, Paul Novak and Bob Mason all look very confident at the beginning of the play. In the past two years the fall play has been a musical, but once again Central was faced with change as a Melodrama, “Ten Nights in a Barroom,” was presented. The play was presented November 14 and 15 in the Civic Theater under the direction of Miss Patricia Peterson, and student director, Gwyn Pautsch. The play was an old time melodrama complete with hero and villain, barbershop quartet, hisses and boos from the audience, and even a rinkytink piano. The melodrama was a tale of sorrow and repentence as Romaine and Mehitable Cartright try to save Sample from the evils of the alcohol sold by the greedy landlord, Simon Slade and his son, Frank. Disaster strikes as Sweet Mary dies to save her drunken father and young Willie is slain by the nefar- ious Harvey Green. But good triumphs as Sample and Joe Morgan reform, Green is hung and Slade is murdered by Frank.
