Traditional Sadie Hawkins Comes Back The original Sadie Hawkins returns after previously being changed to Morp Tradition once again prevailed at NHHS. The original Sadie Hawkins was held last year after being changed the previous year to Morp. I ' m glad Sadie Hawkins came back. It just isn ' t the same without Mr. Stephan ' s wild and ;razy movies, stated Gary Fox. The evening started as couples went o some of their favorite hang-outs uch as McDonalds, Pizza Hut, and Rax. fter dinner, the couples went to the High School Gymnasium where the :arnival began. The carnival consisted )f various organizations and clubs that had different booths where students had the chance to win prizes and par- ticipate in the fun. Then it was time for the square dancing to begin. As cou- ples formed their squares, the band Gold Rush prepared for their first song. When the dancing was over, it was time to announce the traditional Li ' l Abner and Daisy Mae. They were senior Cathy McQueen and graduate Matt Nahrwald. Finally, the marriage ceremony took place. While the girls got their marriage certificates, the guys tried to hide the best they could. Then after seconds of searching the girls found their hubbies and everyone sat down to exchange rings. Sadie Hawkins was lot of fun. It was nice to be the one to choose the res- taurant and let the girl pay for the eve- ning, commented Steve Ladig. The evening ended with a few more dances and the fun and excitement continued throughout the night. — Kelley Koehlinger While taking part in the traditional marriage cer- emony, Malte Henkel, Kelly Hoffman, Kim Emer- ick, Jill and Kurt Esterline, and others are shown exchanging rings. 3 Sadie Hawkins 24 4(l J

Talent Shines on stage Dogpatchers brought to life in Li ' I Abner musical Opening the show with a foot-stomping country song, dogpatchers Clem Scragg (Charles Dolby) and Romeo Scragg (George Censic) describe themselves and their life styles as citizens of Dog- patch U.S.A. Ending the year with style, the NHHS drama club presented Li ' l Abner to wrap up their year of production. The play began with the main charac- ters introducing themselves with the song It ' s A Typical Day In Dogpatch U.S.A. The senators then announced that the U.S. government has declared their town, Dogpatch, the most unnec- essary place in the U.S., and had decid- ed to test a nuclear bomb on it. The citizens of Dogpatch then begin a search for something that is necessary in Dogpatch. Li ' l Abner ' s (John Fedele) mother. Mammy Yokum (Kim Teter) shows the government scientists her Yokum-berry tonic. The tonic suppos- edly makes men big and muscular. Lat- er though, it is discovered to destroy their romantic interests. I really enjoyed working with the cast members in the play. I not only met new people, but I made lasting friends, stated Janet Augenstien. General Bullmoose plans a scheme where his confidential secretary enters the race and Evil Eye Fleagle (Mitch Burris) puts a whammy on Abner so General Bullmoose ' s secretary can catch Abner and marry him. The scheme also consists of Abner having an accident and General Bullmoose and his secretary taking the tonic. The day of the race and mix-up ap- proaches, and Earthquake McGoon (joe Cox) gets Daisy. The secretary gets Li ' l Abner and takes him off to Wash- ington. Mammy Yokum discovers their plan to kill Abner. The whole clan goes to Washington to save him. General Bullmoose ' s plan was to have Evil Eye Fleagle put a whammy on Abner. The clan got there just in time. Right when Evil Eye Fleagle put the whammy on, he took a silver tray and transfered it on to General Bullmoose. Back at Dogpatch, Earthquake backed down and let Li ' l Abner marry Daisy Mae. Abner had drank a special tonic to get back his romantic interests. I enjoyed watching Li ' l Abner be- cause there were so many people that I knew. I enjoyed watching fellow class- mates shine on stage, stated Missy Hieber. Front Row: B. Huguenard, K. Teter, D. Wilson, S. Robinson, B. Renninger, R. Shuman, ). Fedele, J. Cox, C. Barrientos, T.
