Goblins, ghosts, and mice scampered around the Student Center. Creatures were prancin’, dancin’, whackin’, and crawlin’ on the floor of the Halloween masquerade. To the tune of Quiet Riot’s “Come On Feel the Noise” and John Couger Mellencamp’s Crumbling Down’’, arms waved high. “The dance was really wild!” explains senior class president Tim Dibley, who also won the prize for best costume (he dressed as RM» Frankenstein). j “| want to bite your neck!” or “How about just a dance?” Senior Larry Lewis asked his girlfriend Juana Jones. “The best girl scout around, Scouts honor!” insists Activities Director, Bob Slaughter.

Actually, the glass on top of the table was knocked off in closing the stage curtain. Mr. Ong said this would be the last musical he would have using handcuffs. At the cast party held at Central, two students became locked together after the key broke. They had to go to the police station to have them removed. Rosie (Carla Weaver) is telling Albert that the praised Conrad and Kim are at the icehouse. 14
