Get, ’Em Grab ’Em November 5, 1976 Sadie Hawkins brought the best of us hillbillies out of the barn and into the dogpatch as we toddled on down to the dance. Those dag nab sheriffs were everywhere trying to round up those guys and stick’em in the hoosegow so that their little sweethearts would have to smooch'em out. When we '‘escaped from the law. we slipped off to the biffy to tie the knot during a two, four, or six bit wedding. Then we left the shindig and dawdled on back to the barn. SURPRISE!!!SURPRISE!HSURPRISE!!!

Win A Little . . . Sno-Daze week was unique this year. On Monday we came and found Western demolished, our football field fenced off and no snow! On Friday, the Juniors produced a twenty minute auditorium where Paula Inveen and Pete Norton relinquished their crowns to Amy Smith and Steve Waalk. A few spirited Westites attempted to romp-in-the-snow but in the end had to admit there wasn’t any!! So they hurried to the lunchroom for some socializing and hot cocoa. Our dance was threatened by the energy shortage but in the end it happened- and with Junior style! The Big Snowball makes its entrance! The glare of anticipation! Pete and Paula still preside. The dynamic duo! Jon Poor Dances the night away!
