Contests, Crust and Craziness 'We have to make the most of Twerp Week. It's our chance to be weird! ex- claimed one sophomore. March 22 through March 26 were the five days designated as Twerp Week. The week's usual events—a pie-eating contest, Mr. Legs, Servant Sale, and Sadie Hawkins Dance—were partici- pated in and viewed by all the enthusiastic hicks at Madison. A new idea for Twerp Week activities was a Box Social. Students prepared lunches to be auctioned off at lunch, with the buyer receiving the lunch and the lunch maker. Unfortunately, not enough lunches were prepared for auctioning, so there wasn't any box social. Banana cream and cherry pie landed every- where but in the mouths of the contestants in the pie-eating contest. After viewing eight pictures of sexy legs, students voted Ray Ogo as the winner of the Mr. Legs con- test. For the Servant Sale, willing students were auctioned off during lunch, with bid- ders paying anything from 30c to $16.50. Servants stayed under the command of their masters all day Friday. All proceeds from the Servant Sale went to the financing of the Sadie Hawkins Dance, the yearly highlight of Twerp Week activities. This year's crowd was the biggest to have ever attended the dance. Twerp Week was sponsored by Girls' League, and according to Renee Gaddi, Except for the Box Social, everything turned out all right. 1 Crowd views the Servant Sale. 2 David Greek holds friend for security. 3 Rose Yelly in stuffed overalls. 4 Getting a taste of banana cream pie. 5 Ray Ogo, winner of Mr. Legs contest. 6 Jim Johnson (Tarzan) surveys school. 7 8.Humphrey wins pie-eating contest. 8 Scott Donnellan pauses to chew pie. 9 Four servants entertain at lunch. 124 Twerp Week

Gettin' Hitched T he vows said in the Las Vegas wedding chapels were no competition for the business done during the Sadie Hawkins dance last March 26. Couples waited in Marryin' Sam's line for as long as a half hour, looking forward to a quick hitch-up and a honeymoon in the hay. It was a traditional Sadie Hawkins, said Renee Gaddi, Girls' League president. Everybody's cos- tumes l ooked great. There had probably not been such a con- glomeration of denim and straw hats since the last farming convention. We worked all year towards this dance, one Girls' League member explained. The dance is sponsored by Girls' League and is their major activity for the year. From the grins on all the black-freckled faces, Sadie Hawkins was deemed a success. I waited all year to ask John to this thing, one sly-eyed girl said, referring to the girls-ask-guys stipu- lation on the dance. She continued, See over there? That's Mike. Next year.. 126 Sadie Hawkins
