Urban Cowboys Swing Their Gals 36 ■ Gals grabbed their guys and got into the swing of things at the an- nual girls choice dance. Sopho- more class officers and senators sponsored and decorated the com- mons for the dance. An old fa- shioned buggy was the center of attention, which brought a western look to the dance. A saloon served rootbeer to partners who wanted to sit and watch a slide show of the old cowboy days. “Getting Hitched.” was the main event. A choice of four preachers was avail- able for awaiting couples. Partners stood at the alter and exchanged vows of love as the groom placed the “cracker-jack” ring on the bride’s finger. A certificate signed the couple together for the night. The bride and groom and the preacher signed their names on a certificate to make it all official. Cowboy hats and feathers with sashes were available for a more western look in the sepia duotone pictures, taken by a professional photographer. As the night came to an end, couples left the western the groom placed the “cracker-jack” ring on the bride’s finger.” atmosphere behind, but kept their cowboy boots on. The large tur- nout made the Hoedown one of the most enjoyable and memora- ble of the year. Chauffered limo brings Dale Phelps to Hoedown in style. Hawk Hoedown
