No! you were not in a barn, but you were at the Sadies. Colors of brown, orange and yellow hung over gals and their farmers in the student center, as scarecrows and jack-o-lanterns glared with delight. Student Council car- ried on their galant tradi- tion of putting on the an- nual hitchin' dance. Many hours of dedica- tion went into the dance to make it a success.” said John McKay. Last Safari, a band from Bloomington, IN, was discovered by Todd Pfeffer to make the Sadies a success and get the students feet to move. “I wasn’t a day too soon on getting Last Safari, I had to get them five weeks in advance. They were in such a big demand We were just plain lucky! The fear of going into debt for the cost of the band, $600, grew when only 20 tickets were sold. But as October 16 neared, girls were getting up the nerve to ask that special guy if she could have the honor of having him as her date. Ticket sales then began to soar as 135 tickets were presold, and profit began to show. Even after students found their feet tiring and stomachs filling, there was still something to do. Lads’ and Lassies' marched up to Marryin Sam (Jim McNeely), declared their love for each other, and asked the judge to Hitch them. Soon streamers were taken down, tables fold- ed up. and marriage cer- tificates put away, but memories of the dance will always dance away (in bare feet of course) in students' minds.

Paul Romanetz's outfit adds humor to the last day before Christmas break Warmth of Christmas sets record The Christmas of '82 will be etched in the memory of many because of the very uniqueness of the weather. Christmas day seemed more like a very pleasant Easter Sunday. The temperature reached a high of 64°. A few of the faculty members reportedly played golf and some of the students, and their families did unique things also. Julie Ewart's father dressed like Santa Claus and the rest of the Ewart family dressed in green representing elves, as they sang Christmas carols while sailing on a far from frozen lake. Unfortunately, while the East and Midwestern states enjoyed nice weather, the West experienced something terrible. The headlines for the day read “Blizzards, Floods and Daffodils. However, the Friday before Christmas vacation saw the ordinary symbols of the classroom: desks, chalkboards, students, transformed into rooms with an atmosphere of a living room on Christmas Eve. Christmas trees, gifts, punch bowls and happy faces magically appeared in the classrooms. This spark in enthusiasm came from Arm in arm. Wendy Landis and her date gaze off at a distant star which rests upon the Christmas tree. the annual Christmas room decoration contest. Yet, the traditional format was not used by the winners. Van Young’s class used the theme of a futuristic Christmas. They had a silver Christmas tree, fantastic lighting, and a glittering pendulum to set off the effects. Students with rainbow colored hair, dressed futuristically and sat in aluminum foiled desks under dark blue tinted lights. Computer “mood” music completed the scene. “We decorated the room by what we thought Christmas would be like in the year 2000, claimed Staci Stanner. by Karen Reid A smashing blow is given a pinata as Jan Fulmer tries to open the seal. 14 Christmas
