Corn Roast: Adds New Dimensions On September 16, 1978, the Corn Roast had a new dimension added. The Students ' families were invited as well as the students themselves. Many families took advantage of the plentiful soft drinks, corn, and hot- dogs at the Corn Roast. Student vol- unteers kept the food coming to one of the biggest turnouts for the year ' s opening social event. After the feast the parents went home, and the stu- dents stayed to jam to the sounds of Congressional Funk. Some of the renditions of songs were Heatwave and Groove Line, as well as some slow dances like By Midnight. When the dance ended everyone was worn out from all the fun they had in the past six hours. More than 300 dol- lars was made; an improvement from the past. All agree that it was worth coming, especially after tasting the corn. Clockwise from top: Gena Kusnierek, Rosemary VanBergen, Chan Monroe. Jean Mane Palkowski and Marty Bickel. Mr. and Mrs. John Leader and Mrs. Thomas Dennig relax as they talk. Andrea Szewczyk and Kevin Lucvynski enjoy a slower beat that Congressional Funk pumped out onto the floor. 10 Corn Roast

Shot Gun Weddings Performed Mid-October saw the Sadie Hawkins dance convert St. Joe ' s hip city citi- zens into country folk. The dance was in the traditional girl ask guy format. Students enjoyed many of the hillbilly traditions. Activities at the dance included bobbing for ap- ples. Many students, for the trouble of dunking their heads underwater, received laughs as well as apples. Another Sadie Hawkins tradition that was followed was the shotgun weddings performed by the Rever- end (?) Thomas Hampson. Many couples took part in the hardly per- manent bonds. Students bumped and boogied to Zap. Robyn Abercrombie holds her hair back as she attempts to grab a bite from a juicy red apple. Reverend (?) Thomas Hampson strikes a smile as he takes a break from joining couples together in mock weddings. The smiles on the faces of Mary Kenney.
