Sadie Ha wkins In a changing world, one of the Byron High School events that seems to stay the same is the annual Sadie Hawkins Dance held every November. In honor of A1 Capp's cartoon character, the Byron Future Homemakers of America sponsors a dance to which the gals ask the guys. After the gals chase the guys (and catch them, of course), Marrin' Sam performs the mock wedding ceremony. There were two Sams this year — Vickie Maas and Kathy Wiltfang. Best Costume award went to Kayla Laswell and Byron grad Mike Hahn. Best Corsage award went to Donna Boehm and Jim Zoet.
