Spirits Soar on Halloween An average day in our school will usually prov ide an ample diver- sification of styles of dress. However, there is a special dress code seen only once a year consisting of ogres, witches, boys in drag, ninjas, hippies, and the classic Halloween ghosts, played by Sarah Peterson and Samantha Rai. Other original ideas were displayed by Ivan Nass as Superman, Nora Lockshin as a typical jap, Debbie Streim, Debbie Zimmerman and Wendy Eagle as Alvin and The Chipmunks, and as nuns, Scott Sklar, Scott Smith and Adam Lasky w ho asked if his costume was in p x r taste. But all is fair in love and Halloween. Friday, October 31, 1986, was by no means an average day. The major pastime became sitting in the hall staring at people and taking numerous pictures. Some w-ere proud of their inventive and daring undertakings and seniors avoided embarrassment by rationalizing that this was their last year and it was now or never. Others were humiliated and dumbfounded that they had actually dressed up and went to change clothes. The general feeling has been that Halloween was mainly for seniors but many underclassmen also partook in dressing up and some teachers made it an assignment to come in costume. Un- fortunately, but not expectedly, the costumes were also accompa- nied by egging and shaving cream fights. Although many of these weapons were confiscated, students from South soon arrived and several North students happily started a small scale war. The only disadvantage of the day was the absence of a large number of seniors w ho stayed at home to study, for although it was their last Halloween at North, it was also their last chance to take and improve their SAT scores. But. for those who were in school, Halloween provided a bit of levity, making this part of the year more enjoyable. (rt aboif) Senior Debbie Rifkiu - “Let Me Enter- tain You!
