Lack of participation and creativity mars Halloween A lack of participation and a lack of creativity in costuming for the Halloween dress-up day could be partially blamed on the National Honor Society's Halloween Masquerade Ball that was held the week prior to Halloween. After dressing up for the dance, dressing up again on Halloween was sort of anti-climacticf' said one un-costumed senior. I thought everyone was too 'cutey looking. On Halloween people are supposed to look grotesque, said Tom Perkins who did his best to look grotesque by attaching a fake knife to the center of his forehead and walked about looking like an advertisement for a B horror movie. The costumes, many said, seemed to lack the creativity of costumes in years ast. Most of the eo le who dressed u didn't think of ori inal costumes like P P P P S they used to,,' said sophomore Andrea Loveland. 1. Straight from A.A.

HS masquerade adds to Halloween festivities Adding to the many activities common during the early months of the school year, the National Honor Society, in an attempt to raise funds, sponsored a masquerade ball held in the gym on October 22. So many students attended this dance that many complained of the crowded dance floor. lt was so jam-packed that you could barely move on the floorf' said junior Sherri Mercier of the more than 450 students attending the dance. 4'Everyone at the dance showed a lot of creativity in their costumes. You could tell that a lot of thought and work went into most costumes, said senior Richard Kravitz. The dance, with music provided by a disc jockey, was a financial success. The NHS earned more than 5350. This money was used to sponsor other NHS activities which included Cperation Santa Claus which gave gifts to Grange foster children and the Special Clympics.
