With their own original style, junior As the dance wears on, seniors Angie Ament and senior Steve Shimota Margaret Scinto and Lincoln student “get down.” Brad Ericksen steal a kiss. 18 • Sadie Country Couples Swing At Sadie Foot stomping music, square-dancing, and rowdy people were all a part of Sadie. For over 310 couples, the Sadie Hawkins dance was unforgetable. Dressing up in anything from big boots and overalls, to cutoffs or full skirts was part of the tradition of Sadie. But the favorite part of Sadie was that girls asked the guys. It was the guys turn to see how well their girlfriends drove, and if they were courteous enough to open doors for them. The J.J.’s who sponsored Sadie, did their best to create the right atmosphere. Popular Marryin’ Sam was busy throughout the night, with his last ceremony, a community wedding. Unless a couple was anxious to head for the honeymoon hideout, the crowd didn’t seem to mind waiting in the long lines. The band Fancy Free also helped create the mood. They played both rock and their country version of “Mountain Dew.” Swinging to the beat of Fancy Free are seniors Mary Asp and Art Pearson. Marryin’ Sam does honors for senior Joe Schoen and St. Olaf student Ann Walters.

At a seance Dr. Bradman (David Anderson), Mrs. Bradman (Laura Benson) and Ruth (Geanette Roberts) listen attentively to Madam Arcati (Marietta Olson). Blithe Spirit Depicts New Culture “Is everyone set?” shouted Director Warren Magnuson before curtain time. After months of preparation, Blithe Spirit was ready for presentation. The play was about a novelist, Charles (Dave Conner) who calls back the spirit of his first wift, Elvira (Mary Kay Oestreicher) during a seance. To the disbelief of Ruth (Geanette Roberts), Charles’ present wife, Elvira plots to kill Charles. The main problem the cast encountered was learning the lines. The British accent was difficult to master. Another problem was low attendance. Just under 500 attended. On the other hand, Warren Magnuson said he had a “superb” cast. The cast of seven made it easier to focus on individual characters. Special effects also added something extra. Stage technician Bob Platt and Dave Messer created exploding lights and moving furniture. The play was a unique experience for all members. Dave Conner said, “It taught me what I can do and who I can be.” The first wife of Charles, Elvira (Mary Kay Oestricher), wonders when she will be sent to the other world. 20 • Blithe Spirit
