On the evening of November 7, over 250 lucky ladies managed to drag a man into the halls of Washburn for the Grist sponsored Sadie Hawkins Dance. Once inside, each woman kept a tight clutch on her guy to avoid having him dragged off to jail by an eagle-eyed sheriff. Most of the couples spent their time either hootin' and hollerin' on the dance floor or trying their skills at the many games in the Cornpone Casino. The Marryin’ Sams in the auditorium were kept busy as over 200 couples made their way down the aisles to exchange the vows of matrimony. The price paid for getting wed was a mere dollar, plus a few “I do's” and a big ol smooch. After the ceremony the couple was presented with a temporary Dogpatch marriage license. At ten o'clock, the happy students made their way into the gym where awards were given for best beard, best L’il Abner and Daisy Mae costumes, cutest couple, and best vegetable corsage. Names were drawn for door prizes and the evening ended with the crowning of Katy Lloyd and Dave Herridge as Daisy and Abner. 19
