Rollerskating Rollerskating, once an indoor pastime, became even more popular as an outdoor sport. Many famous people such as Olivia Newton John and Linda Ronstadt, enjoy outdoor rollerskating. Students who took up the sport found it to be good exercise, good fun, and a practical way to beat rising gas prices. Junior, Deanna Harkins, demonstrated her skills in rollerskating on the paths at Lake Nokomis. The lakes were popular with rollerskaters because of the ready made trails and beautiful scenery. True skating enthusiasts were even seen practicing while listening to stereo headphones. For some people, just getting up on the skates would have been difficult. Students, just getting started in the sport, found it best to try a few practice sessions at home before attempting to show off. They found the sidewalks to be quite different from the highly polished surfaces of roller rinks, which made the ride a little bumpier and a lot more dangerous. Getting there • 17

Nervous is... asking a guy to Sadie “Uh . . . uh ... (gulp) you wouldn’t want to go to Sadie with me, wouldja?” For many girls, asking someone to Sadie was definitely a “Soft ’n Dri” situation. Sadie Hawkins was the only dance in which a girl had to ask Dad for the car, withdraw money from the bank and try to convince herself that the “hunk” in study hall wouldn’t laugh in her face when she asked him to go with her. Over 260 couples attended the dance, which was held November 9 in the cafeteria. The tickets, sold by the JJ’s, were $5 per couple. Marryin’ Sam was the biggest attraction at the dance. For a mere quarter Sadie ladies and their fellas were married by one of the two members of the ministry. The marriage vows were sealed with a hitchin’ license, two rings and, of course a lingering kiss. Couples also had their pictures taken for an additional $5. Silver stars and golden moons hung from the ceiling, but by 10:30 most of them had gone home with students who wished to have a memento of the evening. Students were surprised by the high quality entertainment provided by the band, Caribou. Among the tunes that most appealed to the students were “Babe,” recorded by Styx and “Let the Good Times Roll” by The Cars.
