Dressed to Kill Green leaves took on the bright colors of au- tumn and fell to the ground. A crisp frost in mid-October changed the potted geraniums to a dull brown. But just as quickly as win- ter coats and gloves appeared, they were shoved back into the closet, for the first week of November brought unusually high temperatures in the eighties. Amid the changing colors and fluctuating temperatures, youthful revellers celebrated the fall holiday of Halloween. Skeletons, ghosts, and scare- crows decorated windows and doors of houses. Costumes, tricks, and parties were fre- quently discussed at lunch- time and in study halls. By mid-week, pumpkin-like grins showed on students’ faces as they thought about the South Cumberland and Frostburg parades — two school nights for the band and drill team to be out. As students arrived at school on Friday, they found strange-looking creatures. In the senior high, Kristen Kutler buzzed the halls in her bumble bee suit, while Danette Miller spread a little joy dressed as a Christmas tree. The junior high, a little less enthusiastic, had few who donned costumes. Becky Smith as an E.T. and Tammy Filsinger, a clown, enjoyed the day of being different. School wasn’t the only place students got into Hal- loween. Cindy Kim, Linda Wilson, and Nancy Wilson took a shot at winning the Pumpkin Carve at the Coun- try Club Mall. Randi Swanson and several of her female friends jumped in the station wagon, terroriz- ing the townspeople with soap taken from under the bath- room sink. Caught red-hand- ed Swanson pleaded with her sister not to tell on her. Getting together and dress- ing up, Michele Cotton, Rhonda McKenzie, Kim Jones, and Missy Robinson went out Saturday night to haunt the town. They hid be- hind their false faces as they circled the main blocks. Some teens were willing to get scared breathless as they went to check out the Jaycees haunted house at the Armory.

Halloween II on HBO, a trick-or-treat from friends, a slice of pumpkin pie — it was a fun holiday to celebrate. — HALLOWEEN SHOWING HIS ENTHUSIASM for the occasion, Darren Troutman dresses as a witch.

FLEXING HIS BICEPS to impress not only the photographers but also the girls at the pool. Gary Taylor enjoys the activities held at Frostburg Bay along with Chris Stevens. The annual Frost burg Day was celebrated with free hot- dogs. cokes, and entrance to the com- munity pool. — L B««mu They came in all sizes short, tall, chubby, skinny, and even extra small, and they ig- nored questions about the weather. But being part of a school made even the tiniest feel “tough.” Sure John Kealy heard short jokes constantly, but he always had a good comeback. The eighth graders, al- though second youngest, now had at least one class to rule over, and they let the seventh grade know by strutting their stuff down the second floor hall. Being known as the “little seventh graders” didn’t stop their enthusiasm. About 65 junior high members made up the entire Pep Club and even a handful of guys joined the club to support the Mountie team. With Mrs. Pat Fil- singer's help, the group helped the cheerleaders to raise the overall enthusiasm. Nine out of the 18 partici- pants in the Talent Show were students in the junior high. Their talents ranged from a duo baton twirling act by the Davies sisters, Tara and Stephanie, to a Karate perfor- mance by Chris Kocher. The Davies sisters captured third place. Many students in the junior high involved themselves in the junior high band. Over 60 members practiced every day at different times during var- ious periods to perfect their music for the Christmas and Spring Festival programs. Ten eighth graders were se- lected to perform in the Senior High marching and concert bands. Dances, decreasing in inter- est for the senior high were al- ways packed and made a huge profit for the Junior High. They didn’t get a band or even a professional D.J. because they preferred the works of amateurs Kevin Kutler and John Crawley. “They play the popular songs we like,” replied Jeff Colvocoresses, one of the shortest kids in the school, didn’t let his size come in con- flict with his interest in girls. “I just grab her hand and pull her out on the dance floor, even if I do onjy come up to her waist.” Although the unknown ju- nior highs were not recog- nized much by the senior high kids, they didn’t let it get them down. Whenever they had the chance, they showed their tal- ents, eagerness, and all- around school support. They were the mighty 308 members of the junior high. - L. — L Berman MARIA FAUT2 and Amy Griffith get down to the sounds of Mickey.
