DC Goes to Hollywood! James Dean, Marilyn Monroe, and Elvis Pres- ley were some of the main attractions at DC’s an- ual Sadie Hawkins dance. Posters of famous movie and music stars lined the walls of the gym, which was fully decorated for the occasion. The long-standing tradi- tion of Sadies is a favorite among DC students.It’s the dance for the girl to take that special guy out for a night on the town. Many guys enjoy the event because it is the girl’s turn to experience the pressure, the nervousness, and even the cost of the even- ing. The Sadies theme this year was one of lights and excite- ment. The decorations made you feel like you were stroll- ing along the Walk of Fame. Student Council sophomore officers were the people re- sponsible for the organiza- tionof the dance. Sophomore Social Activities Coordinator Nicole Gee explained,“We decided on a Hollywood theme because we liked the idea of rolling out the red car- pet.” Aside from the excitement of the evening itself, the ques- tion of who would be Sadies King lingered in the air. All week, voting for finalists took place. Students were told to choose two guys per grade, and from them, a king was chosen. This year, senior Chad Cunningham was crowned. Fellow royal, Queen Debbie Oliverio, placed the crown on the new king. The other finalists were freshmen Jim Solak and Mark D’An- tonio. The sophomores were Mark Pappas and Kevin Schnieders.Junior finalists were Chris Filiatraut and Bob Mazur. The seniors were Chad Cunningham and Mike Hecht. Well, if the famous stars could have witnessed this great occasion, they would surely have been impressed. DC toured Hollywood with the same thrill and excite- ment as the real thing. Once again, Sadies tradi- tion was followed. We can be sure that in the future, the same steps will be traced. It will, however, be difficult to top the success of this Holly- wood venture! □ by: D. Gee Roles reversed, sophomore Christy Canavan escorts finalist Kevin Schneiders to his position on the stage. The excitement continued as the king was announced.
