The first activity of the Jewell High School social season was the annual slave sale. This unique sale gives the Sophomore class the opportunity to sell the incoming Freshmen to the stu- dent body. This event is a money-maker for the Sophomore class and provides humorous entertainment for the rest of the students. The Slave Sale starts off a week of activities which formally welcomes the new Freshmen into the student body. This year’s class was unusual due to the fact that there were only two boys. To make Rod Camberg and Bobby Robinson feel more at home with six girls, the Sophomores applied their makeup skills to the boys, and created two new buxom beauties. The Slave Sale provided some embarrassing moments for the Freshmen when they were required to do such things as pushing pennies with their noses, singing songs alone, and run- ning around the gym backwards. The only consolation for the Freshmen was the fact that most of the other students had done the same things.” The nine Freshmen were sold for a record-breaking $175.00, with the prices ranging all the way from $2.00 to $50.00. Need- less to say, a lot of the credit goes to the Sophomores for mak- ing the Freshmen so ‘appealing.’ 1: Kathy Riley, Lisa Rinkes, and Veronna Portray discuss their fates before the annual slave sale. 2: Lynda Adamson applies burnt cork to Kathy Riley’s face to get her “in the mood” for the auction block. 3: Bobby Robinson “struts his stuff” before the Jewell student body during the slave sale. 4: Karen McDonald is concerned about the near future as her time “on the slave block” nears.

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. Marry’n Arch was constructed by the annual class members. 2: Wendy Robinson and Doug Rogers dance to the music of popu- lar records during the Sadie Hawkins dance.
