Perusing the pages of ancient yearbooks, I have seen many a Sadie Hawkins dance. But this 1946 event from North Texas State University takes the cake! What an eye for detail these kids had. 
L’il Abner was everywhere.
They really got into character.
It’s a good time when everyone participates!

Wow. Really cool, Kerbey. Thank you for remembering where Sadie Hawkins originated. Lil Abner sure was a curious comic strip character in my Wonder Bread years. Al Capp (the drawer) must have been doing something right to launch the Sadie Hawkins concept into society.

Boy, the public sure enjoyed it. I wonder how much longer until it is totally forgotten. Wonder Bread years make the biggest impression.

The things I remember from the Wayback but forget from 10 minutes ago, Kerbey.

Excellent photos. I remember dances where the girl asked the boy but I don’t recall them being called Sadie Hawkins Day. In either event I don’t recall anyone dressing up. It looks like they knew how to have fun.

Ha! Looks like fun! I can safely say no Sadie Hawkins dances at my school were that detailed!

I went to an all boys high school so the best I could hope for was a hot time with Joe Btfsplk or The Schmoo. (True L’il Abner fans won’t have to Google that reference!)

Dangit, I’m not a true fan. How can you date someone if you are in an all-boys High School?

It was tough. There was an all girls “sister school” and we shared periodic social functions but overall it was pretty grim.
