Yeeeee-ha! Some good ol’barnyard boogying!!! Gingham checks, bibbed overalls, flannel shirts, and long-johns filled the cafeteria for the “Barnyard Boogie.” A touch of Lil’ Abner spirit was in the air at the girl-ask-guy Sadie Hawkins dance. Gals treated the guys to a casual dinner at a restaurant like The Ground Round, Pizza Hut, or Mother Tucker’s. Then, dressed in Sadie attire, hurried back to school for some square dancin’ fun. Country western records provided music for the dancers. Acting Reverends John Lee and Kevin Colbert preached marital vows. Willing couples paid a mere 25C to “get hitched.” JJs sponsored the dance. Unattended dates were captured by danceline members $nd sentenced to jail term. They were not released until their partner claimed them with a kiss. Overall, the dance provided a chance for the gals to ask the guj out, and a chance for all to dress little crazy.
