Sadie gets her man in spring According to legend, every fourth year on February 29, single hillbilly girls, called “Sadie Hawks”, were allowed to chase after the single boys of their dreams. If caught by a “Sadie Hawk”, the boy had to marry her. Lowell “Sadie Hawks” had the chance on March 23 to invite the boys of their dreams to the Sadie Hawkins Dance. By tradition, the highlight of the evening was “getting hitched” by acting “Justices of the Peace”, Mr. Chuck Naumowich and Mr. Steve Adams. Photographs were taken by Spasoff Studios and entertainment was provided by “White Lightning.” The juniors make use of the dance profits for the Junior-Senior Prom. Kim Trueblood and Joe Stoller are posed by a representative of Spasoff Studios for their picture to remember the evening. Juniors Regina Searle and Lisa Abraham serve refreshments of lemon¬ ade and popcorn to a thirsty “Sadie Hawk” and her date.
