SAFE FOR ANOTHER YEAR!

You can rest now, boys! Sadie Hawkins Week closed Sunday, November 19. From Monday, Nov. 13 until Sunday the Lil Abners, the Lonesome Polecats, and the Hairless Joes were constantly dodging the reaching arms of the Sadies and the Daisy Maes. The unlucky "Polecats" were snatched by the "women-folk" and dragged to "ye-olde-fashioned-shindig" at the boys' gym Saturday night. Sunday the fortunate Abners were favored with a movie at Sadie's expense, and so ended the week of "man-chasin' ".
