Wanna get married? Aw go ahead—your parents will have it annulled Monday. Besides, “marrying Sam” isn’t an honest to goodness Justice of the Peace.
Judging from the usual turn-out just about everyone looks forward to the “Sadie Hawkin’s Dance” which officially begins Twirp Week (The Woman is Required to Pay), Monday 2.
The dance and Twirp Week were started by the Social Committee a number of years ago and they have now become a part of B.U. tradition.
This is the only event to which costumes are worn and everyone takes advantage of it. From some of the outrageous costumes of the past, just about any type of outfit is acceptable. The more you look like Lil Abner and Daisy Mae, the better.
Tentative plans say the dance will be held at the American Legion Hall, in which case—don’t go barefoot.
Refreshments will be served and there will be entertainment too. If you know of some talent or you yourself would like to help out with the dance, please get in touch with Olivia Capella.
So now get ready and come to the dance. We hope you’re not waiting for the fellow to ask you because you’ll have to wait a long time. Actually, you might not get to go, so plan ahead and ask him now.
