Sadie Hawkins is a tradition which is kept on For most of the dances, the custom is that the guy asks, escorts, and pays for everyth- ing. In this dance, things are reversed. Sadie Hawkins originates from the Lil’ Abner car- toon strip. In this comic strip, the girl is always playing the role of the male. She will chases Lil’ Abner, which was abnormal dur- ing the time the cartoon was written. Now this role is taken in consideration at a dance. The girl takes the first initiative instead of the guy. This dance style has become a tradi- tion since the time of the cartoon and contin- ues to be a success. This Sadie Hawkins dance was a fun and enjoyful experience for all those who participated in it. Top: Julie Scarborough shows her excitement at this dance.

“Bowling with Brian for MDA” Sherrard held its fourth annual fund raiser for MDA this year. However, instead of the annual Superdance, this year a BowlAThon was held. The theme was “Bowl with Bri- an”. Brian Hendel is a student at Sherrard with Muscular Dystrophy. Three hours in the afternoon on Saturday March 21 were spent by Sherrard students at Sam’s Milan Lanes getting strikes, spares, and of course those gutter balls! The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat were definitely present. Over $1500.00 was raised to benefit Quad City Muscular Dystrophy patients. Top Left: Shawn Strachan concentrates on tallying up the score Top Right: Mr Calhoun glances back to see how he is doing Left: Brian Hendel poses with a smile BowlAThon 23
