Gentlemen Before Ladies? fT 4'1s, lt was the ladies' turn to pick up the bill Saturday eve- ning, February 16, at the annual Sadie Hawkins Dance. As they entered the dance, couples were offered the opportunity to get-hitched with Bro. Jack performing the rites. A somewhat official license allowed the couple to be married until midnight, at which time, of course, the honeymoon was over! From the beginning of the dance until its closing cou- ples bombarded the dance floor. The beat of THE BLACK CONNECTION lured even the shy couples to their feet to enioy a night of perfect entertainment. The anticipation of the evening was certainly not answered with disappointment. Each person's face reflected the success of the dance. When the clock struck midnight, the couples were left with a bundle of precious memories. Top: Bridget Scott and Pete Kelly find the relaxing atmosphere perfect for conversation and refresh- ments. bottom left: Rick Conner looks hesitant as Kim Wilson gets ready to carry her temporary mate over the threshold. bottom right: For Bill McCracken the Sadie Hawkins dance provides a night off, compliments of Karen Walrath.

Traces Black Heritage Some great entertainment was in store for all who saw the Black Awareness program, during Black His- tory week at Powers. The well attended production cov- ered black history from slavery up to modern times. Black personalities such as Harriet Tubman, O. J. Simp- son, and Nikki Giovanni were portrayed by Powers stu- dents. An Ebony fashion show topped off the program. Manager Colette Hawkins was aided by Tureia Roberts and Tyrone Reese to produce a truly unified show. Top: Karen Fraction appears as Harriet Tubman in a dance express- ing the desire for black freedom. above: The Ebony fashion show was a highlight of the program. left: Black personalities, Muham- med Ali and Wilt Chamberlain, are represented by Steve Metcalf and Tim Walker.
