' picture Pen ect Even though the Sadie Hawkins dance was held an hour later than usual because of the Boys ' Varsity Basketball C.I.F. game, the delay was well worth the wait. The Saints ' victory set the mood for an evening of celebration. The game didn ' t allow much time for the DJ ' s to set up, or rally members and their parents to decorate the gym. The backdrop for pictures, red and white balloons, streamers, and tablecloths were hurried last-minute efforts. But not all preparations occurred the night of the dance. Planning for Sadies had begun weeks in advance. Nominations for king took place three weeks before t he dance, though only about 30% of the senior girls voted for Top 10 and Top 5. Junior Chris Young and sophomore Shannon Troncoso were announced princes at the Sadies-C.I.F. assembly while the freshman class didn ' t have a prince because no one had voted. Freshmen Alana Cooper and Jennifer Jones said, We wanted our class to have a prince, but we didn ' t know anything about the voting. The day of the dance the Top 5 and their dates played the annual Newlywed game. Seniors Ed Consencino and Shannon Corrigan won by answering five out of six questions right. The traditional Hillbilly theme was changed to sweethearts because the dance was so close to Valentine ' s Day. Junior Shannon Booth said, I like the sweethearts theme better because you can dress nicer and you don ' t have to sit on hay for the picture. Even though the theme was different, for the most part, the basic ritual was the same. One never would have thought that over two hundred people attended the dance because couples drifted in and out. Most came only to take pictures and then left. When asked the reason for doing this. Jenni Werner said, I can ' t dance, so I just went to take pictures and then left for the beach. Some people that stayed sat socializing with friends or danced. Those who stayed had the opportunity to see Juan Gonzalez being awarded Mark Reynosa ' s crown as he became the new Sadie Hawkin ' s king. This was not a new experience for Juan because he had been freshman Sadies ' prince, but the recognition didn ' t lose any of its charm the second time around. I was flabbergasted and at a loss for words. The moments before he was crowned were described as being nervous ones because all the lights were on and everyone was staring. The casual atmosphere of Sadies was carried out but did not cheapen the crowning event. Carnations were awarded in contrast to the Homecoming Queen ' s roses, and the crown was made of cardboard. Juan Gonzalez modestly and jokingly said, I ' m a cardboard king. 80 Student ifa A dinner at Bobby Mc Gee ' s provides an entertaining environment for juniors Shannon Rcy and Joe Clark and eight other couples.
