J. Graig, R. White, R. Gaddy, and B. Queen seem to be trying to tell us something. Sherry Deitz and a member of the band “Fear Cay pose for a picture with their friend — a boa constrictor. S.S.H.S. Students Return to Dogpatch, U.S.A. A1 Capp’s famous charac- ters from Dogpatch, U.S.A., come alive on Sadie Hawkins’ Day. Complete with students dressed as L’il Abner or Daisy Mae, this is one of the most unique and fun-filled days in the school year. This year, Debbie Whitener and Jeff Hahn won the award for having the most realistic cos- tumes. Highlighting the day, a musical assembly was held in the gym with the RH Band providing entertainment. Mrs. Terry and Mr. Rose were given the titles of Ma and Fa Kettle. Everyone enjoyed the unusual day and made the sudden transformation from hillbillies to students again for the dance. Students return from Dogpatch to attend the annual Spring Dance. Music was provided by “Fear Cay . 24

School’s Main Money-Raising Project Once Again a Complete Success A ten-speed bicycle, a portable television, an A.M.-F.M. stereo, and a trip to a college basketball game are just a few of the many prizes offered by the Reader’s Digest Q.S.P. Magazine Sales. This is the main money-making project for our school. The students at St. Step- hens participated actively by selling a total of 3,196 subscriptions which amounted to $16,720. All this money was raised over an eleven day period. The sophomore class led the way in sales and Mr. Deal’s homeroom proved to be number one. With the help of such an en- thusiastic student body, once again we were able to surpass our goal. Mrs. Vaught seems to be saying you may think my homeroom can't sell magazines — but we're just slow! Are our cheerleaders getting a little old-fashioned? The 50 s come alive right in our own gymnasium. Obviously Mrs. Cloer doesn't like to wear the low homeroom beaver cap. 23
