Replacing the flannel shirt, bibs and straw hats at the Sadie Hawkins dance were pullover sweaters, parachute pants and leather ties... Sadies. The Dance where the tables are turned and the girl gets a taste of what is ' s like to be the de- cision-maker on a date. She also may find out what rejection feels like. I asked some- one from a different school, so I was nervous that he wouldn ' t want to go to another school for a dance. It ended up that he was happy to go and we had fun, stated Junior Maria Godwin. Those 160 girls who found a date to the November 10 dance were welcomed by Mrs. Karen Brammer and her husband. Once inside, the couples danced in a mel- low, easygoing atmosphere of music and flashing lights, provided by Electric Dance Company. I thought the music was good, but they could ' ve used more videos, was the opinion of Sophomore Brett Brown. Taking a breather, couples cooled off with fruit punch or cider dipped from a tin cup and ate coo- kies. Pairs sat along the student center to escape the heat generated from wild people dancing in the cafe, to get off of their feet, or to find out who had brought whom. After couples had time to get their pictures taken, the Corn King award- winner was an- nounced. With last year being no different than thi;- year, Junior Dan Flynn was the ; was glad to have won, especially when you ' re up against seniors, who usually win, Flynn said. Mark Hill Another common sight on this night was couples walking down the white paper-covered aisles to get hitched bv Marrvin ' Sams Athletic Director Bob Harrold and Principal Jerome Secttor. In their dignified hillbilly hats and robes, they collected the sacred vows by the bride and groom. It was fun pre- tending to get married to Eddie, (Clevenger) but I ' m not quite ready for the real thing yet! commented Senior Candy Fogle. In the last couple of years, fashion at the Sadies dance has changed from the trad- itional flannel, □ overalls and straw hats, to striped and plaid button downs, fashion- able pullover sweaters, leather ties, and of course jeans. Trying to get a grip on the fashion scene were Seniors Pam Fullenwider and Jimmy Winkle who wore matching mini-skirts. Pam and I were out looking for shirts and we saw mini-skirts. I joked around and said we ought to wear them. After that, she got two to- gether and I told her we were going to wear them. It was just something crazy and different to do, Winkle laughed. Senior Alissa Ziegler com- mented about Winkle ' s choice of dress, It was funny. It didn ' t sur- prise me at all, because Jimmy ' s always doing things like that! King for a night is Junior Dan Flynn with his date Senior Amy Garrett as they celebrate Flynn ' s Corn King Nikki Rudbeck 14 SADIES
