"The Best Sadies Yet!"
By Heather Heise & Amanda Barrera

September 18 was the 16th Annual Sadie Hawkins dance and a fantastic way to kick off the year. Everything from the games, costumes and food resembled Halloween in September. Senior London Hine said, “This was the best Sadies yet!” The music satisfied everyone’s taste; from country to pop, there was something for everyone to enjoy. Many students also enjoyed the Astro-Jump and the carnival games, which consisted of a ring toss and a beanbag throw.

The best part was viewing everyone’s costumes. Costumes varied from cowboys Alex Bear and Jake Viramontez to indians Haley Yoder and Joey Styker. Super Man and Super Woman, Jeremy Georges and Ashley Ferrante, were also present, along with G.I Joe and Jane, Amanda Barrera and her date. Heather Heise and boyfriend paired up with Chantelle Soutas and Jeff Rogers and sported LaCoste along with many other students.

The most popular costumes were Kyle Bergland and Laura Tomford as Pirates of the Caribbean along with juniors Laurie Stribling and Austin Keeling as Hill Billies. Jordan Issa and Marc Wright were also very popular with the crowd, as Jordan dressed up as Peter Pan while Marc frolicked around in his Tinkerbell costume.

Food and drinks were prevalent to accompany the hunger and thirst of those who danced the night away. Freshmen Maria Chavez stated, “The hot chocolate was really good and warmed me up throughout the night.” Although many students enjoyed the astro jump and games, the highlight of the night was, by far, the dancing and company of friends. Monica Jackson (’08) commented, “My favorite part of the night was dancing and being stupid with my friends.” Senior Aaron Hill agreed, saying “Sadies was rad, especially dancing with my main men Robby Valderrama and Grant Yoshino…oh wait, I mean Sogol, my date.”

All-in-all, the night was a success and ASB did a fantastic job at making the 2004 Sadie Hawkins a memorable event for everyone.
