Tolo dance this Friday!
I just googled Tolo Dance to see what it actually means. Like, I know it means the girl asks the guy instead of vice versa, but does it stand for something?
Apparently, Tolo is a regional term and it is called a Sadie Hawkins Dance elsewhere. Sadie Hawkins got its name from a character in a Li'l Abner comic strip in 1939.
Tolo however was a term coined several decades before that at the University of Washington, which created an all-women's honor society called the "Tolo Club", from the Chinook word for success and achievement. To raise funds, the group held a dance where women asked men.
The SCA Tolo Dance will be held from 6-8 p.m. this Friday in the SCA gym. Tickets are available for high school students at the front office and cost $25. Food will be served and students are encouraged to dress in their favorite 1990s themed attire.
