Dog Patch Couples Frolic In Barnyard For a solid week, cans in the halls, cans in the cafeteria, cans EVERYWHERE groping, pleading, searching, begging for every available piece of change. Sadie Hawkins was drawing nigh and the nominees were competing for the chance to run in the great Sadie Hawkins night race. Wednesday found Falls Church High in a state of confusion; trial runs for the big race were being held in the cafeteria, Seniors were desperately trying to decorate the “barnyard,” and all the girls were constructing their vegetable corsages. Couples, guzzling “moonshine” and frolicking in the hay to the vibrations of the December’s Children, were suddenly disrupted by the shrill cry of a hog call and within seconds the dance was besieged by an invasion of Dogpatch men with their women hot on their heels. The idea caught on and within sec¬ onds, all of the girls had muscled their partners up to the podium to get “hitched” by Marryin’ Sam and sealed with the proper trimmins’—a ring and a fist full of rice. Everyone went home smiling, the girls because they caught their men and the men because they knew it wasn’t for real. Greg Nelson doesn ' t mind playing Lil’ Abner. Wally Kurylo, alias Cave Gal, gets hitched as Tiny Yokum and Wolf Gal look on. V—Y gjPpiL 16

The spirited Mike Thomas coaxes the Senior Powder Puffers on to victory. Feminine Jaguars Emerge As Gridiron Grizzlies Wednesday, October the 15th, marked the day that our sleek feminine Jaguars shed their shiny spotted fur coats and emerged as gridiron grizzlies destined to engage in a battle rivaled only by the siege of Troy. The steamrolling juniors drew first blood but the seniors found what turned out to be the junior’s Achilles heel when they stopped the extra point attempt and with renewed morale, struck back to take a 7—6 halftime lead. The halftime festivities were highlighted by an award winning performance by a select few of the Falls Church High School championship band and a water fracas between the masculine, but charming, cheerleaders. Back on the field came the two titanic forces to trade blows until the game was called because of darkness and multiple injuries. Final score: the Super Seniors edged out the Mighty Juniors in a real squeaker: 14—13. Rough, tough Julie Short and speedy Sara Stiff frighten the Ju¬ niors into defeat. Practicing for the big game, Junior Powder Puffers scramble, block, and collide.
