That day, many students changed their every- day dress codes and participated in the Halloween ritual of dressing in costume.

Wendy Schmitz, senior, dressed as a fat farmer on Halloween, wearing over- alls and a shirt stuffed with a pillow. i'It was a last minute thingf' she said. All my friends were dressed up and I didn't want to be the one who didn't. Because Halloween fell on a Friday, some students remained in their cos- tumes at the home football game that night. Marge Daniel and Liz Farrow, sen- iors, arrayed themselves as ladies of the evening, and Dawn Gilbert wore a clown costume. A mysterious student dressed as Darth Vader at the game and waved a light saber, but did not reveal his identity. No one knew who he was - we still don't, said Lisa Drier, senior. He would not tell anyone that night. According to Drier, the Big Red Pom Pon Squad, to be different, wore masks during its final football perfor- mance to The Muppet Movie Theme. All the Pom Pon girls thought that we- should do something original be- cause it was a special day, Drier ex- plained. The masks blocked our vision somewhat, but we wore them anyway. Some friends and I went trick-or- treating, said Dora Kim, sophomore. A policeman stopped us and gave us candy.

Running flat-footedly after it, he picked it up while Trudy Tucker, fresh- man, replaced the couple of pins he had managed to knock down. Gordie was just one of the handi- capped children that Tucker and Ann Augsburger, freshman, worked with at the St. Louis Association for Retarded Children's Saturday mini-camp in Creve Couer.

Preparation for a career was not the overriding factor that persuaded most students to venture into the working world. I liked to be able to do the things I wanted when I wanted, said Theresa Bowen, junior who worked at Velvet Freeze, and with my own money I could.
