Lil’ Abners Surrender To Night Of Female Rule On the night of November 9, man-hungry females dragged their dates to the annual Sadie Hawkins dance. The week prior to the dance was set aside for Daisy Maes to “tag” their Lil’ Abners whom they then waited on by opening doors, carrying books and walking them to class. Marriage rings and vows were exchanged under the lawful authority of Marry’n Sam, Max Duffy. ABOVE: An unknown foot is measured for admission into the dance. The girls paid 30 cents per inch of the boys’ foot. ABOVE RIGHT: Senior Clyde Fladwood takes a breath before devouring the rest of his pie in the contest.

Mark Eades, junior, inhaled his pie first, and sophomores Melanee Boggs and Craig Fleshman crossed the finish line first in the three-legged race. The women were required to pay 30 cents per inch of their dates’ foot. MHS graduate Joe Endres won the prize for the biggest foot and junior Don Smith was the proud owner of the smallest feet. The annual Sadie Hawkins dance was sponsored by the Future Homemakers of America. They spent the day arranging corn stalks, hay bales, murals, and a tunnel of love in the cafeteria. They made a profit of $36.68. Rising Tide, a popular band, was hired to provide the music. At the stroke of midnight couples left Dogpatch, U.S.A. to return to normal life.
