Each year many events take place that draw students, teachers, and parents together for enjoyment rather than discipline. This year many com- munity events took place. The lirst major parent-school event of the year was the P.T.S.A. Swap Meet. Held in the Dana Hills parking lot, the Swap Meet prompted parents to bring salable goods which were combined with the sale of student crafts. The second combined event to take place this year was the visit of the Freedom Train. While the forty min- ute to five hour lines passed by, the Dana Hills band played and played. Despite the wait, many found the Freedom Train to be a rewarding experience. The Donkey Basketball game drew crowds. Mr. Eller took the mike and coached the game with much humor. As before, the faculty won. This can be attributed to their remarkable ex- perience in this sport, though some would name other causes. The Hypnotist show came to Dana Hills on March 5. George and Myra Sharp again mystified the community audience with ESP, suggestability and some amazing feats. After it was over and the hypnosis was gone, stu- dent volunteers, as they have in the past, regretted having volunteered to do strange things. But, the audience got a great laugh out of the whole thing. The annual Swallows Day Parade was held on March 20. The marching band and other Dana Hills groups added to the parade and also sup- ported the school in the process. These were only some of the many community events that took place this year, but this sample shows that the community does play a large part in supporting Dana Hills. 8 Daily Life ll Massive Marv Sherrill bounces himself and the ball on the gym floor, Zj Mr. Eller an- nounces the trophy awarded to the faculty team. 3j A donkey shows no sign of strain as Mr. Stillson, well on the road to exhaustion, hauls his stubborn mount to the basket. 41 The Marching Band practices for the big mo- ment, the Swallows Day Parade.

SADIE HA KINS EEK OFFERS S ETHI G N Following tradition, Sadie Hawkins Week was sponsored by the senior class. This year's committee, Kim Nation, Amy Day, Lisa Larwood, Allison Becktal, Pam Battersby, Rick Browning, Vince Winninghoff and Denise Emory, wanted to get students involved so they tried something new. They decided to choose a Sadie Hawk- ins King. The choosing was done in the same manner as the Homecoming Queen. Fifteen senior guys were nomi- nated for semi-finalists by the junior and senior classes. Then, at a dessert, six finalists, Rick Browning, Kevin Culbertson, Dirk Ellis, Andy Hoff- man, Ron Montgomery, and Jeff Paulson were chosen by the girls, CIF sports members. Friday night, at the Sadie Hawkins Dance, Dirk Ellis was crowned Dana Hills' first Sadie Hawkins King. This event topped off a week of activities such as Slave Day, and marriages and divorces. The unique difference about this year's Sadie Hawkins Week was the success- ful blending of traditional and new activities.
