spark Sadie Hawkins Life in Dogpatch resumed once again as time for the Sadie Hawkins Dance rolled around. Sponsored by the Key and Keyette Clubs, the dance provider! lots of informal fun and countrified atmosphere. Dogpatch boasted some new developments as a walk-in haystack and many colorful posters joined the familiar forms of the jail, outhouse, signpost and wishing well on the dance floor. Sadie Hawkins revelers were dressed for the occasion as they were hitched by Marryin' Sam in the Dogpatch Chapel or harrassed by the Sheriff and his brothers in the law. Besides boogieing and bumping and watching the real policemen get thrown into jail, the evening’s entertainment included a hog-calling contest, wheelbarrow races and a giant tug-o'-war, with the Seniors and the Freshmen against the Juniors and Sophomores. As a result of Sadie Hawkins Week's competitions (which included tossed marshmallows, a three-legged race, pie eating and the hesitant chugging of an evil looking mixture). Seniors Frances Daisy Mae Little and Tim Lil Abner Smith reigned during the dance as representatives of the winning class. As the successful evening drew to a close, the dancers, spent with hilarity, reluctantly said a fond good-bye to Dogpatch. Yee-ee-ha! Seniors pull together to yank Sophomores and In mors across the dance floor. 22

Musical news good news! Opening the year with Good News, Bad New, the Choral Department presented its annual Folk Concert. Concert Choir began the program with an English sea chanty, High Barbaree. Accompanying himself on the guitar, Marshall alumnae Tom Eggers sang an original composition, No, Not Her. Madrigals Roy Lashbrook and Mike Murphy pulled off a comedy stunt with the help of pianist Bill Weiser. The first half concluded with a happy tune by Girls' Ensemble, It's a Good Day. After a brief intermission, the audience was greeted with a risque slide show accompaniment to the Madrigals singing a French folk song, Close to my Blonde, How Good it is to Sleep. Wayne Ollweiler followed with Mother Nature's Son from the Beatles' White Album, and Dawn Finchum performed The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down. A sober temperance song became juiced when Ben Sands faked signs of inebriation. Following old tradition, alumni were invited up on the stage to close the concert with the spiritual Ride the Chariot. These were but a few of the entertaining numbers comprising the delightful November evening. Student Director Mike Murphy leads the Concert Choir, complete with alumni, in Ride the Chariot.” 21
