On Friday, November 30,1984, Hellgate held its most attend- ed dance of the year, the Sadie Hawkins Dance. But what is the Sadie Hawkins Dance? Based on the comic strip Lil’ Abner,by Al Capp, the traditional boy ask girl date is switched around. The couple is supposed to come to the dance dressed in their complete western wear. Besides the dance, the couple can get their pictures taken on bales of hay or get hitched, complete with ring, cigar, and license. The dance, put on by Hellgate's Key Club, is the club’s major fund raiser. We made $950 from this year's Sadies, said Mike Wangen, president of the Hellgate Key Club. Most students agreed that The Max, which was made up of ex-members of The Rage and another local band, performed well. Rick Burrell, Hellgate counselor and Key Club advisor, stated that the adults were impressed with the outcome of the dance. He also said that Hellgate didn't have the trouble that other school's Sadies had. Don Harbaugh, Principal at Hellgate High School, said that he was pleased that there were no problems with student intoxication, and felt that the dance was definitely a success. All-in-all, this year's Sadie Hawkins Dance was a thigh slappin', foot stompin' evening. ACTIVITIES

Senate aims for participation Quality participation was the aim of this year’s Student Federation. By having the members par- ticipate as much as possible Federation president Dahnesh Medora said that he was “able to utilize the great potential of all students in the organization.” For the first time in four years Student Federation compiled a feasible list of goals for the year, including volunteering any kind of help towards the completion of the new activity field and having a winter formal that would raise money for a charity. The vandalism fund was reinstated this year after a year of absence and according to Medora, “the main reason for the vandalism fund is to make students aware of the costs of vandalism. Student Federa- tion's job is to monitor the fund and find practical ways to spend the remains at the end of the year.” Organization was a main part of this year's group and this, in part, can be attributed to the executive team of Medora, vice president Michael Ridgeway, secretary-treasurer Nancy Stone, and representative to the school board Staci Berger. Ridgeway said, “everyone in the executive branch is respon- sible. communicates well and believes in good planning. Because of this we have ac- complished things that we set out to do.
