Sadie Hawkins Dance Is Tremendous Success Girls ask guys out? Does this sound weird? Not at the Sadie Hawkins Dance on Saturday, October 30. This was the theme of the dance sponsored by Stu- dent Council. Originating in the Lil Abner comic strip by Al Capp in which the character Sadie Hawkins devised a dance in which girls asked guys out, this precedent paved the way for the modern day dances names in her honor. It proved to be a definite winner. At 7:30 p.m. on the night before Halloween, students began filtering into the school. The cafeteria quickly became filled with enthusiastic and spirited dancers, moving to the funky beat of reggae, rock n roll, and pop music. As the dancing became more in- tense, the dancers began a frantic wrig- gling on the floor known as The Worm . Senior Ed White commented. I was surprised to see so many people 'worming' their way through the dance. In organizing the dance, the Student Council led by President Megan Ken- nedy, ran a smooth sailing activity from stem to stern The dance was well put together. said senior Matt Mazzucca The dance was very well attended by all of the classes primarily due to the unusual dating policy. Mike Creedon. a senior, said, Probably, the reason why it was so popular was because the girls asked the guys out. It's about time that they have something like this, said senior Sally VanderHey. Everyone en- joyed themselves. Nonetheless, no one would have had a good time without the skillful dee- jaying of senior Paul Sims or the ap- pearance of the Nowtones. From the Rolling Stones to Bob Marley, Paul Sims had the cafeteria jumping with fun and excitement. Stated Mr Conlon, a chaperone at the dance, The music by Paul was enjoyed by all. I hope future dances will be as successful Success was the word tor the Student Council after profitting $250 dollars from the dance's proceeds. Not only was it a financial victory, but people thought it, in general, to be superb Miss Nicholson, advisor to Student Council, decided that it was one of the best ac- tivities for the school year ' Others con- sidered it the most outstanding out of all the dances in the past Senior Suzanne Kuhar proclaimed that the dance was the best dance of all my four years in high school No doubt that Sadie Hawkins had a hit when she first invented this dance. Concluded senior Wendy Walter, It was different, and that it was.
