Although this year’s Sadie Hawkins took place on the dreaded Friday the 13th, the dance still turned out a success. Over 200 couples joined hands and made their way into the Cornpone Casino. Prizes were given to those who displayed extraordinary Sadie attire. The honor of being named Li’l Abner and Daisy Mae was bestowed upon seniors Bill Murray and Maggie Woldum. The Millers skipped around the Barn from 8-11 pm, taking breaks to get married and to try their luck in the Casino. Those who were ignorant enough to let go of their date’s hand were promptly escorted to the Jail by the numerous sheriffs. The Grist did a terrific job in sponsoring Sadie again this year. SADIE

There’s No Business Like Snow Business By mid-January Washburn was experiencing its regular winter blahs Luckily Snow Week was abSe to give the students that extra boost to lift their spirits. This year Snow Week wasn’t just your regular old flash-in-the-pan. but it was a week that held so many exciting events it will be hard to forget. Gliding into the week the action began at Lake of the Isles where the first ice skating party was held. With red cheeks and frozen toes, the Millers plunged into the weeks many activities. The annual Pow-dcrpuff football games were the next event and at times it was hard to see the strategy behind all the flying snow A fun time was had by all and the senior women captured the final victory. The next event was the Bootbatl tournament where all the Miller guys tried to show their skills on coJd sheer ice. The battles were tough, but once again it was the seniors who won Friday was the highlight of the week as the Millers prepared for the best pepfest of the year. With the slam dunk contest, the tug-of-war, the erotic dancing of the Millermen. and the crowning of the snow king and queen, this was definitely worth the wait. John Stratton and Jeanne McCoy were crowned snow king and queen, and they made their honored stroll around the gym for the enthusiastic crowd. The pepfest reached its climax when the senior men emerged from the bleachers and rocked out to the delight of the student body. The final Snow Week event was held on Saturday night when the Mighty Miners cut loose and danced the night away to the D.J. sounds of Vinayl Mixx.
