Welcome to our first installment of Logger Lookback, a peek into Puget Sound’s pictorial past. 

Susan Martin Ricklefs ’71, Michael Rich ’70, and Chaplain Jeff Smith ’62 on Sadie Hawkins Day in 1968.

In this archive photo from 1968, we find a scene from Puget Sound’s annual Sadie Hawkins dance. Susan Martin Ricklefs ’71 and Michael Rich ’70 were named Daisy Mae and Lil’ Abner, and Chaplain Jeff Smith ’62 served as Marryin’ Sam to preside over the traditional mock wedding ceremony. The university celebrated Sadie Hawkins Day through the 1980s.
