the £ rt of (imagination Friday, October 31, 1986, began as any other normal day. I woke up, dressed for school and went on my way. I entered the school through the same doors that I had been using since the begin- ning of the school year. As I walked into the lobby, 1 opened the doors to the hallway and there, walking down the hall, was a human- size bunch of grapes. I blinked my eyes and then rubbed them to make sure that I had really seen grapes. A vision of the Fruit of the Loom guys flashed through my mind but I said that could not be. As the grapes got clos- er I saw the face. Under all the purple make-up and bal- loons was Julia Purbaugh. As I started down the hall to my locker, a large-headed, furry thing came toward me.

On the second floor, I ran into some drill team angels. I knew that Christmas was two months away and I could not figure out who had sent them al- ready. They must have been in school to help the JV cheerleaders who could be seen in black and white stripes as jailbirds. Others I encountered dur- ing my stroll were supernatu- ral beings, flower children, a mountaineer, and Indiana Jones. I collapsed from ex- haustion after returning to my homeroom. Then, I real- ized it was Halloween! Halloween
