The commons courtyard com- mittee introduced a new concept of T.G.I.F. afternoon dances. Band members and dancers alike were able to jam away a weeks worth of hard school work.

The senior class chose the semi-formal approach for the Sadie Hawkins Evening Under the Mistletoe dance. In the early days of Seaholm Sadie Hawkins dances were held every year, separate from the Holiday dance. In 1969 the idea of girls asking the guys out was discontinued. A few years later the idea was picked up again and Sadie Hawkins became the theme for the Holiday dance. Each senior class has chosen the same theme since then and made it a treasured tradition.
