Dogpatch, U.S.A. became a reality at Village High on November 15, 1963. Dressed in their “Sunday Best' the Dogpatchers danced to modem day toc-tappin’ music. Gals were given their last chance to catch their favorite beaux while Marryin’ Sam made their attempt legal. Divorcin’ Dan, however, was on hand to untie the knot. As John tugs confidently at his suspenders, Kathy lurks mischievously behind the outhouse. Dogpatch” Comes to VHS 12 Jim Talbot witnesses the hitching of Rick and Sheila as Marryin’ Sam Miskowiec performs the ceremony.

After the coronation, everyone joined together at a bonfire to cheer and display their loyalty to the team. An added attraction to this bonfire pep fest was an old-fashioned hootenanny led by Miss Schmid. Student spirit and enthusiasm was fired up the next day at a pep fest conducted by several talented members of the faculty. The students were then dismissed to watch the Homecoming parade after giving their team this final boost of confidence. The Huskies carried out the slogan “Wailconia” as they trampled the Chiefs with a close 7—0 victory'. This hard-fought victory set the stage for the Homecoming dance, which followed that night, successfully concluding the football sea-• son. ABOVE: Contributing to the spirit of the Homecoming festivities Mr. Robert Spong, Mr. Roger Bjorklund, and Mr. William Wood lead the student body in a hootenanny. BELOW: The candidates, with faces showing the excitement and sixpence of the events, anxiously await the big moment. 11
