The Eagle Times

Every year at St. John High, we have our annual Sadie Hawkins Dance. It is a small dance, put together by the Key Club that brings the school together to have fun and dance. This year’s Sadie Hawkins will be different than the past years. For 2008, the theme of Sadie Hawkins will be “A Black and White Affair”. The dance will be held on January 26, 2008. It will take place from 7:00-10:00 p.m., with a lock-in at 7:30.There is a very specific dress code for the dance. Students will be allowed to wear their favorite black and white attire, but they will not be allowed to wear jeans. The dance will take place in the St. John School Cafeteria. There will be a D.J., a photographer, tons of decorations, and fun for all.

Many students at St. John are very excited about the dance. I asked Senior Dallas Landry how she felt and she replied, “I am very excited for this year’s Sadie Hawkins. I had tons of fun last year and I hope to have tons of fun this year. I can’t wait till Saturday. I also love the theme. It is something different and it sounds like it will be very fun.” While some students are enthusiastic, others are dissatisfied. Senior Blaine Delaune says, “I am disappointed in this year’s theme. I feel that it affects the way we must dress. Now we have to obey to certain colors. I have always been able to express myself at Sadie Hawkins, but now I feel that we don’t even have an option. It feel like many restrictions keep occurring during my senior year, I wish this year’s theme could have been different.” Although there are many different opinions on this year’s dance. I firmly believe that the dance will be full of fun and excitement for all who attend.
