“I new pronounce you man and wife. ' These were familiar words heard at the Sadie Hawkins Day Dance held on the evening of November 18. The festivities, this year, took place in the cafeto-rium after a home basketball game. This was the first time the dance was held after a game. In spite of the fact that we lost the game by a score of 70-55, the VHS dogpatchers were lively and enthusiastic at the dance. “The Little Brothers” provided the rollicking beat necessary for a fun night of hay-kicking and dancing. “Kick-a-poo joy juice” (apple cider) was easily attained. but for those who were more conservative, the Lettermen's Club sold pop. “Marryin’ Sam” (Russ Anderson) was busy hitching up couples at this annual dance sponsored by the junior class to help finance the spring prom. Decorations for the dance consisted of large cornstalks suspended from the ceiling. Hay scattered on the floor helped to add to the hillbilly mood of the night. Wow! What a little kickapoocan do1' yells Jackie, as Dwight hands her the little brown jug Hillbillies Have Hay Day” Hurry and got this over with, will ya . groans Gary, as Sandy grins victoriously and Marryin Russ makes the ' marriage'' final 27
