Sadie Hawkins Welcome to Jewell Dog Patch Sadie Hawkins is a tradition at many schools, but not at Jewell High School. This year the annual class decided to start a tradition as well as make some money, so Sadie Hawkins came to Jewell. The dance was held in the multi-purpose room on a rainy Friday night. Atmosphere is always important at any Sadie Hawkins dance, so twenty-eight bales of hay were brought in from the barn. Of course there was the traditional Mar- ry’n Arch and pictures of “Dog Patch” hung around the room. The marry’n ceremony was conducted by Marry’n Sam (Ed Tice) and music was handled by the students. Refreshments were provided by the annual class. Neil Vandehey was crowned king of the dance with Doug Rogers, James Reeher, Bobby Robinson, and Dave Collier as the court. Neil was impressed with his glitter and cardboard crown and commented: “I will keep this crown forever!” The only problem with the dance came Monday morning when the students attending the dance had to haul twenty- eight broken bales of hay back to the barn. There were several contented cows in the barnyard that Monday! 1: Cheryl Hammerberg and Ron Crino join in the bonds of “Dog Patch Matrimony” at the Sadie Hawkins dance.

Christmas Dance “Yes Santa, there is a Christmas in Jewell,” was the theme for the 1980 Christmas dance. To bring the spirit of the holiday season into the school, students worked all afternoon to decorate Christmas trees and hang snowflakes from the ceiling of the multi-purpose room, making it feel as if the North Pole had moved several miles south. There was much excitement all evening while the stu- dents waited anxiously for the announcement of the King and Queen of the Christmas Dance. Finally the moment arrived and Becky Philipson named Jim Collier and Deena Sprague Christmas King and Queen. Troy and Company, a band from the Portland area, provided live music for the dancers. Playing rock, jazz, and country, the band gave everybody a taste of the music they liked best. And then the dance was over and the students filed out into the late evening air. One could tell by the look in the eyes of the students that everyone truly hoped that Santa would get the message — there really is a Christ- mas in Jewell. 1: The Christmas Court waits expectantly for the name of the king and queen to be announced.
