As guys and gals dance, they display versions of the wallopin' mountain jerk. To a rollicking theme of hillbilly life, Dog-patchers kicked the hay to the beat of the Trojans during the Sadie Hawkin’s Day Dance. The event was sponsored by the Junior Class on November 12, 1965. The dance is held annually by the juniors as a major fund-raising activity for the spring prom. All hillbillies tramped to the school dressed in their Sunday best in order to attend the gala festivity held in the school cafetorium. Girls were given their last chance to catch the guy of their eye while Marryin Sam Vorpahl made their attempt legal. Then, of course, there was Divorcin’ Dan Larson, with the help of Ron Schmidt, on hand to break them up. The decorations consisted of a big dummy called Uncle Clem in the center of the room. Uncle Clem was surrounded by scattered hay, corn stalks, and pumpkins. The dance which began at 8:15 ended at 11:15, and the spell of hillbilly life dropped back into the hills once again.
