Congratulations Hellgate Key Club on a great job this year. From Sentinel Kiwanis Club H18K Hellgate Hillbillies: ** Sadie Hawkins '89 B?* Sadie Hawkins '89 took place on November 4. at Hellgate High School's gymnasium. For many, Sadie Hawkins is not just a dance where the girls ask the guys. The night traditionally starts out with dinner, then the dance and for many, a group of couples will get together to watch movies after the dance. Dressed in their westerns, dancing to country music, some even took it a step further by having dinner in a barn and riding in the back of a hay filled truck. • Front row left to right: juniors Tony Devault and Kim Whitman.
