And it came to pass that on the eve of October 31, all such goblins, ghouls and spirits would rise to walk the earth and do as they please. For many, it becomes a night of terror and paranoia, but for the typical Bayite, it was a night of rowdiness and fun. One such reveler, senior Karen Stroup, decided to give a costume party. Her get-together consisted of about twenty friends, dis- guised as everything from drill team members to clowns. One of the most popular activities, though not the most exciting, was manning the candy bowl to pass out the loot. “The costumes weren’t very creative, and most of the kids were impolite,” commented senior Mary Howarth. One kid even told me he didn’t like the kind of candy we were passing out.” Two special events at school broke up the monotony of solid work. The annual choir Halloween party, held on Tuesday, was enjoyed by all. The writing poetry class held a pumpkin carving contest, and the winning Jack-o-lantern was chosen by popular vote. Cindy Whit- temore, one of the most enthusiastic carvers, explained, We got pumpkin seeds all over and the whole experience brought memories of when we were little kids.” From its origins as a religious celebration, Halloween has turned into a much needed fall holiday, and an excellent way to let off a little steam. 16 Student Life
