Though the weather outside was frightful, and jack Frost was nipping at our noses, there was an atmosphere of warmth at the Sadie Hawkin's dance. The soft, fluffy snow and dazzling Christmas lights created the perfect setting for a cozy festive evening out of the cold. Warming up the occasion further was the crowning of the Sadie's king, junior john Filiatraut. After the long week of nominations and the final voting, excitement mixed with relief was evident in the new royalty. The other finalists included freshmen Chris Filiatraut and Scott Woodman, sophmores Brad Dickey and Dennis Griffin, junior Bob Swider, and seniors Sean McCausland, Craig Pop- lar, and john Young. Sadies was a very enjoyable evening. The gym was deco- rated nicely and I feel that the sophomore class did an excel- lent job overall, states senior Paul Girardi Sherri Borzymowski said, The dance was fun, and with all the swell company it was a total success. I'd expect nothing less! This tinsel-decked affair was the perfect opportunity for any girl to take her guy out for an evening of fun. Michelle Tricoff said, I think it is a nice change for the girl to ask a guy out. It has been long in com- ing but I think more people are finally starting to get used to it. It's nice for the girl to ask the guy out for a change. From a man's point of view, Craig Poplar said, It's great for girls to experience once in a while what the guys have to go through all the time: the pressure, the nervousness, the responsibility. Some girls might even enjoy being in control better, and may not wait until next Sadies to ask a guy out. I'd love that to happen to me! As the hours of dancing drew to a close, the last of the couples bundled up in their scarves, ear muffs, and mittens. The frosty air was filled with laughter and shouts of farewell. The final delicate snowflakes fell for the perfect touch to a winter wonderland. D by B. Lennon Let it Snow! Chrissy Schmenk and Craig Poplar excitement.
