Sadie Hawkins Binds Many a’ Couple A long time ago, a young car¬ toonist, Alfred Gerald Caplin, (A1 Capp), boomed into the comic strip world with his cartoon Lil’ Abner. This cartoon was set in Dogpatch, Kentucky, with Hill¬ billies, or Yokems. One event in this comic life was a day called Sadie Hawkins. On this day, all of the young unwed girls would chase after eli¬ gible young men. If she should just happen to catch the man of her choice, he would be forced to marry her. So on this day, all young men would keep away from the “wild” woman, unless he was too shy to ask, and would accep marriage running slow. We celebrated the dance part of Sadie Hawkins on March 9, 1979, with “Hitch-Ups” per¬ formed at the dance. ABOVE: GETTING READY.
