OUTSIDE THE JAYCEES' collection of ghouls, goblins and gore, Chris Reynolds invites visitors to come in. llowee -- it's no real bi Wind whistled around the corner of the house, making the old tree outside the win- dow creak under pressure. Will Ledbetter, senior, grabbed his books and charged out his door a little after 7:20 a.m. Walking to school, with the misty, windy weather disheveling his hair, Ledbetter had forgotten that it was Oct. 31 -Halloween. While Ledbetter ambled across the parking lot, he stumbled over a smashed pumpkin. Memories of carving old pumpkins into jack-o-lanterns and of trick-or-treating flitted through Ledbetter's mind. Somehow it just did not seem like Halloween to him. Suddenly, four bubble heads darted by in front of him. However, it was only Beth Bell, Wendy Bopp, Laura Ferber, and Lynn Woodruff, seniors, who had dressed as 22 - - Halloween ago, said Bob Cramer, It was fun dressing up as Magenta from Rocky Horror. l'm a big fan of that movie. -Jill Wagenknecht ber of the Kirkwood .

However, I was working for the Jaycee haunted house and most of us who worked there wore our costumes to school. This was the third year for the Jaycees' haunted house. Jaycee members kept the house located on the corner of East Clinton and Harrison, open from Oct. 26-31. The house had only half the attendance of a year some faulty wiring and mable insulation being for the maze. That was there wasn't a maze year. Besides dressing up or p ticipating in the haunt house, students went to p ties. Baptist Church memb held a hayride and a cookl at Greensfelder Park. AS the night drifted ir morning, Halloween slip back to being just a memog To Ledbetter, Hallowe was nothing special, j memories of carving puih kins into scary jack-o-Iante and of trick-or-treating.
