Sadie Hawkins Dance Dogpatch, U.S.A., home of Lil' Abner and Daisy Mae, was the scene of the annual Sadie Hawkins Dance, held on November 13, 1965. The dance, sponsored by the Senior Class, was unique: girls invited the boys, mock marriages with pipe-cleaner rings and marriage certificates were performed by Senior Class President Don Johanson, and our victorious football, soccer, cross-country, and tennis teams were honored. Couples danced to the music of Steve Carr and enjoyed the refreshments, cakes decorated with a dragon to celebrate our successes. For just a dime William Smith and Sandra Lyons receive a genuine pipe cleaner wedding band and a certificate of marriage from Karen Rothfeld and Martin Racanelli. Be my man, says Irene Webber to Ronald Furcht as Sadie Hawkins Day officially begins. In the traditional smiling, handclasped pose of the bride and groom, Kevin James and Geraldine Weathers are wed at the mock marriage ceremony. Anthony Hodges, Su- san Elliott, and Bruce Burnett succumb to the irresistible, finger- snapping beat of the music. When the bond takes a break, it's time to relax, chat, and enjoy the cake and cold drinks.
