"The Ride of Our Lives"

ST. GEORGE - High School students are young, naive, stay up late, and most of all they are full of energy; they need a release. Where else would they rather put that energy besides Sadies?


Sadies, The Ride of our Lives, was a theme that pulled people into it with all of it’s attractions. Music filled the Dixie Plaza while people danced, took photo booth pictures, visited the kissing booth, and much more.


Student’s day dates were fun no matter what they did including going to the movies, roller skating, bowling in Mesquite, hiking, skim boarding, or doing a scavenger hunt. “It was fun! Only ‘cause of the people we had in our group,” Shaylee Niel, a junior, said. No matter what they did for their day dates, they never would’ve known what was waiting for them at the dance.

Who is Sadie Hawkins?

ST. GEORGE - Have you ever wondered who Sadie Hawkins was and why we have a dance named after her? Is she a real person or just someone made up?


Dixie High senior, Abbey Eyre said, “Sadie Hawkins was a girl who thought it was dumb that only guys ever got to ask girls to dances so she petitioned and got a girls choice dance started.” Senior, Mary Bringhurst said “I think it was a girl that hunted hawks.”


If you thought that Sadie Hawkins was a real girl or she was a girl that hunted hawks sorry, you are wrong. Sadie Hawkins came from the idea of the comic, Lil’ Abner, written in the 1930s, when unmarried women could chase bachelors around the town in hopes of catching them for marriage.

ST. GEORGE - During this week students got to participate in many of the activities that were put together by the FCCLA club. The activities went throughout the week and a lot of new activities went on this year.

Monday's activity was to wear pink for breast cancer. Tuesday was a day for students to dress up as clowns. Wednesday, Dixie High students were allowed to wear hats during school hours. Thursday, many students came to school in their pajamas. Friday's activity was crazy hair day and a blue out.

"I look forward to this week being over but my club is excited to dip caramel apples tonight for the dance,” was Mrs. Johnson's reply when asked what she looked forward to this week.

The FCCLA also sold about 100 tickets for this years Sadies dance.

There was also going to be a assembly for the Sadies royalty but  that got canceled because it was allegedly rigged.

ST. GEORGE - The Sadie Hawkins dance has been fun and well-planned every year by the Future Farmers of America (FFA) Club, but the FFA club decided to pass the torch on planning the dance this year.

Sadies has been turned over tho the Family Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) club by Mr. Bergeson.

FCCLA chose the theme, “Take the Ride of your Life” because it is the FCCLA's national theme and it  fit in with the carnival.
