Sadie King Tod Boise and date Chris Miller dance the spot-light dance upon his being crowned King of Dogpatch. I do, is said by Terry Willmann and escort Lee Ann Garton. Marrin ' Sam duties were performed by 1979 grads Rich Hicks and Dee Dee Schwindt. The King and his court pose for a picture in typically resplendent dog-patched surround- ings. They were chosen by students. Turn ahout ' s fair play When the evening of Nov. 3 rolled around, the dating tables were turned. Sadie Hawkins gave BHS a small taste of women ' s lib. Before the Sadies, girls make tough decisions about who to ask, how much money to spend, where to eat, and which patched jeans to wear. In preparation for the exciting evening, assorted Booster Club members took to the countryside in search of corncobs, wild flowers, and old farm items. An ambitious group even sought and took tempo- rary possession of an old, beat-up house. Corsages for the guys were made by the gals of weeds, dried flowers, and leaves, they exemplified the at- mosphere of the Sadies. The Sadie Hawkins dance was reigned over by King Ted Boise and his court of John Payne, Doug Mad- dox, and Lee Myers. The Sadies provided plenty of dancing to music by Forecaster, eat- ing, and a chance to be married by Marrin ' Sam. 18 Sadie Hawkins
