THE 50’S In November, the girls got a chance to ask their favorite guy to the dance and go out to eat afterwards. The theme of this year’s Sadie Haw- kins was a Soc Hop,” and to dress in the style of the 50’s and 60’s was the thing to do. The gym was decorated with graf- fiti walls and the main colors were pink, black, and white. Punch was served at Mel's Drive-Inn.” Approxi- mately 200 people, in couples and sing- les, rocked to the music of the Monu- ments. Connie Drake, Joanne Gottwald and Linda Peterson were in charge of Sadie Hawkins and were pleased with the results of the evening. This year was the first year there was no type of coronation. This was because no one was thought to have come dressed up even though a few did. This was another change made at Lin- coln this past year.
