Sadie Hawkins The most successful fundraiser for the junior class is the annual Sadie Hawkins Dance which occcurs in the Spring. The theme for the dance centers around the story of Daisy Mae and Lil' Abner. In connection with this idea, the girls ask their favorite guys to the dance. Last year’s dance which occurred Friday night, April 19, 1985, was proceeded by several events sponsored by the junior class. In addition to ticket selling, daisies were sold to increase profits. Girls were also allowed to purchase a slave for one day. Finally, the students could also compete for the title of King or Queen of Dogpatch with the person who collected the most money winning. As the couples, wearing identical shirts, entered the gymnasium Friday night, favorite songs were played by the guest D.J. Most of the students rushed to the photographers to avoid a long wait for picture taking. Then many couples chose to get married by Marryin' Sam (portrayed by David Harvey and Ray Chester); but, of course, a witness (Hank Hawkins) was also present to make the marriage legal — until 12:00 a.m. The couples also received certificates of marriage for a memorandum of the dance and of their short but meaningful marriages. The rest of the evening was filled with dancing and visits to the refreshment bar (Dewdrop Bar). Also, during the night, the King and Queen of Dogpatch were announced and crowned. The dance was a success for the junior class as well as for the couples. It is an event the entire student body, especially the girls, looks forward to each year. Top Right: Mickey and Minnie?!?

Winter Festival Week One of the most popular activities of the school year is Winter Festival. The activities throughout the week are sponsored by various clubs. The Cupid’s Ball was a successful fund raiser for DECA. The PACES committee organized a dress up day for those who wanted to participate. Mot only were these clubs involved, but the Thespians also sold carnations as a major fund-raiser. The final events of the week were concluded with the presentation of the court and the crowning of the Queen. Left: Will you be mine. Valentine?
