The year 2015 has brought many good memories so far, one of them being the Sadie Hawkins’ Dance.

I know that the winter is boring and sometimes it can be hard to find stuff to do with friends, but getting all dolled up for Sadie’s was a fantastic way to get out of that winter slump.

The theme was neon winter wonderland, and the Senior Class officers did a great job putting it on.

The lockers across the gym were covered in snowflakes, lots of colorful snowflakes. It was like walking through a colorful blizzard.

There were minimal decorations in the gym — balloons here and there — with some neon colored table cloths for the four tables set up in the corners of the gym.

I did not expect many decorations, seeing how the officers only had a couple of hours to decorate because of a cheer competition that ended at 4:30 p.m. the day of Sadie’s.

I enjoyed how the tables were from the cafeteria. They were long and could seat 16 students per table. Usually there is hardly any places to sit at formal dances.

I thought it was comical when Principal Brian Wiskur and Assistant Principal Matt Moore took students’ tickets and said, “Keep it clean.”

However, I did not appreciate how my fellow students ignored Wiskur’s warning and decided to dance dirty all night. It was disturbing to see some of the students that I respect participate in such appropriate acts on school grounds.

It did not help that DJ Nick at Night played mostly “grinding” music and played only four slow songs during the three hours of the dance. Other than that, he played a decent amount of recent and popular songs.

I saw no issues with students under the influences of either alcohol or marijuana, which there is typically a couple of students who are.

The dance went so well that the Senior Class profited about $3,000 after selling 181 tickets in advance and 105 tickets at the door.

All in all, I think this year’s Sadie Hawkins’ Dance was fun and successful for the Senior Class.
