The Sadie Hawkins dance was a blessing in disguise; the happiness shows in the whites of their eyes. Andy Richart and Debbie Vann said that it was a night that they will never forget. Her clothes were ragged and her shoes were torn, but the look on her face was far from forlorn. Her name is Mrs. Uran, she said she had a good time, and that is the end of this beautiful rhyme. Ya ' ll might think they look like farmers but they ' re city folks at heart. Miss Jorgensen, Jim Hudspeth, Rich Solberg, Carrie Cracz, Tim Urbanski and Kelly Cody carry on the hillbilly tradition. Selena Scott brought her all-time sweet- heart to the Sadie Hawkins dance, hoping he wouldn ' t bring Sadie. Mrs. Brenda Farley stands and stares while the cameraman said, I didn ' t pay to get in, so who cares? Yearbook Sadie Hawkins Dances — 11

For his first time, Reverend Farley con- ducts the ceremony of “ tying the knot.” The character he portrayed is Marryin ' Sam from Li ' l Abner. Dancers sign a lot; ‘tie the knot’ “Better late than never! The books being delayed not only upset the stu- dents but also the staff. It put us behind in the book coming up. So we were really relieved when the books finally came in,” commented Mer- cedes Sheehy, 1981 KEY editor. The yearbook dance was November 22. There was no live band because it would have been a waste of money. Students were more interested in looking through the books and having them signed. Some students did dance to taped music when most of their friends had finished signing. There were no complaints at the dance and almost everyone had a good time. Hopefully, the 1981 dance would return to September, along with the yearbooks. Mr. Frazier said he was certain this would happen. The hillbilly in everyone was noticeable at the Sadie Hawkins dance. Around the gym, students placed bales of hay, pumpkins and pitch forks to add some atmosphere. A friend of Miss Tara Jorgensen, student council sponsor, took pictures of couples upon request. Mr. Bruce Farley also married” students who felt like tying the knot. Mr. Dan Met- calf helped chaperone. “I didn’t have much problem stopping the students from playing ‘huggy-bear, kissy-face,” he said. There wasn’t a large turnout for the dance, but those hillbillies who did attend savored it like white lightning. 10 — Yearbook Sadie Hawkins Dances

Spirit ’born again’ in five days Homecoming is a big event at any school. Having a spirit week before homecoming gave it a special mean- ing. Many students in every class par- ticipated in decorating class floats and halls. The halls were decorated over Thanksgiving weekend by members of each class. Students also showed spirit by dressing up for points toward the spirit jug for their classes. When students arrived Monday, the halls were a pleasant surprise. The freshman hall by the cafeteria remem- bered the captives in Iran with a big yellow ribbon. The sophomore hall was located in the west wing. Class members who decorated this hall used bright colors that really caught the eye. By the girls bathroom, a toilet was placed with a sign saying “flush- ’em.” The junior hall extended from the lobby to the north commons. The class of ‘82 incorporated the Muppets into their hallway decorations. The graduating class of ’81 selected songs by Journey and AC DC to por- Also dressing for school colors day are sen- iors Lisa O ' Brien (top), Mary Anderson (bottom), and Mary Kozlowski (right).

They caught all eyes with a large sign that said Hallway to Hell.” Every day was different for dress- ing up. Monday was 50’s day, featur- ing greased hair, ponytails, leather jackets, skirts, bobbysocks, and rolled up jeans. Tuesday was kiddie day and Doctor Dentons were a common sight. Several guys decided to go back to their infant days and wore diapers. They were called to the office to see if shorts were underneath. Bibs and bonnets, toys, stuffed animals, baby bottles and lollypops helped create the impression of little kids. It was an experience never to be forgotten. The day was full of laugh- ter, said Monica Sisney. Cowboy day had students wearing boots, vests, hats, and fringed pants. Many students carried guns and sported tinsel sheriff badges on their shirts. A few stick horses were also Occupation day was a huge success.

Thursday was occupation day which brought out plenty of doctors, nurses, and a few nuns. More exotic jobs included dancers, ladies of the night and a couple of transvestites. (Jim Hudspeth and Rich Solberg). Many of these costumes were original and never worn in any year before. This day was a joke,” said Barb O ' Dea. Barb took advantage of the occasion and dressed as a lady of the evening, with Chris Muelman as her escort.” Colors day was the final dressup day. The cheerleaders, pom pon girls, basketball and wrestlers players wore their uniforms. A couple of the stu- dents put food coloring in their hair. Because of having a perm, Mary Koz- lowski still had a red tint after the day was over. On Wednesday all student council members were sold in the slave auc- tion. The following day the slaves” Terry Watson, Tom Collins and Jim Yoth- ment, as well as the rest of the junior var- sity, were introduced during the pep assembly. 12— Spirit Week
