Trick Ur Treat. Everyone Shares In The Ghoulish Festivities Of Halloween Q TW' 48 ix Halloween: the night in which the Lord of Death calls together the souls of the wicked, who have died in the past year. These witches and goblins come calling in the spirit of fun and mischief. The ghostly holiday is deeply rooted in the superstititions and fears of ancient peoples. When students and faculty masqueraded, an eerie feeling filled the air and everyone knew it was Halloween. First place in the costume contest during first lunch shift was awarded to Gary Arnold, as he put himself into a woman's shoes for the day. During second lunch, Tonya Harrelson won first place for her lively clown costume. The participants paraded around campus, showing their spirit for the festive holiday, dressed as anything from crayons to things that go boo in the night. As the day came to an end, the hidden personalities were placed back on the closet shelf to collect more dust until the next Halloween.

Problems like these were not being ignored. With the help of the Joint Task Force on Substance Abuse and the Substance Abuse Prevention Committee steps were being taken to eliminate these problems. Meetings were held regularly for district-wide programs in schools. Drug Education Week was providing film strips and other activities for students to enable them to understand the seriousness of the situation. Ms. Karen Brannon, a physical education health teacher, stated that the reason she got involved in the program was to let students know more about drugs and alcohol. Drugs aren't as safe as the person who sells them tells you they are. They're just pushing to make money. They don't care how it effects you. , Ms. Brannon commented. Can the problem be solved? That question reflects in minds of parents, teachers, and students. The answer only lies in the future. Mary Karam Let's educate students about drugs!
