dance to one trig group."<br />
.Senior Robert Mclont give •<br />
reason for the lack of variety. • unique<br />
qualhy that the Sadie Hawkins<br />
theme was suppose id<br />
'<strong>The</strong>re U aSolutcly n* difference<br />
because there b no segregation into<br />
OKplcs. Everyone dances in ooe<br />

dance."<br />
Ftsta added, "Nobody ever asks<br />
anyone to dance except tor How<br />
dances when you grab whoever h<br />
next to you."<br />
Senior Stephen Wilson pmvided<br />
another theory. "<strong>The</strong> Sadie Hawkins<br />
dance gives the girl* a chance to be<br />
the agjiessor; however many girls<br />
s'ill have not overcome tneir<br />
shyness."<br />
Among guts, die most cited acme<br />
for rut asking boys to dance was<br />
"..M other dances the boys don't ask<br />
us, so why should we =iJc them<br />
*nw?"<br />
Sntfore frolic nt the Sadk lUwklm Dance.<br />
In the dark, stuffy gym some<br />
freshman did experience the Sadie<br />
Hawkins spirit.<br />
Freshman Donna Paiio remarked.<br />
"IV tuvs just standing against the<br />
west tide of the jtym were waiting to<br />
be aiked. 1 asked guy-, to dance, but<br />
1 wat rtjrctcd once. That *« only<br />
once!"<br />
"A couple of girls asked me to<br />
dance. 1 didn't mind the change<br />
because 1 guess it £»cs the girl* A<br />
chance to be more confident,'' commented<br />
freshman Vcrnon Rcye*.<br />
Although Kxnc were fortunate to<br />
enjoy the Sadie Hawkins spirit, many<br />
