I Goblins, Ghosts Haunt Quad The air was thick and still on the morning of October 29th. A scream flooded the dark just be- fore sunrise. Then at 5:59 a.m. Ram spooks crept into the quad to make final preparations for a Haunted Halloween Homecoming. There was a wicked witch Sally Lewis and a gory goblin Michelle Pearson. Someone even spot- ted the devil, Mark Robinson. They were putting finishing touches on the various floats and booths. For the first year, floats were decorated the preced- ing evening from 4:00 to 9:00 p.m. The Choral Clubs ' Phantom of the Opera won the prize for the most outstanding float while Inter- act received the top prize in the decorated booth competition. The theme of their booth was A Spooky Jungle. Festivities started with a bang as rock beats from the band Lounge Cat filled the quad. Many stu- dents decided to get into the action at the V.LC.A. Car Bash and Literary Guild ' s Dunking Booth. Others were satisfied with sampling various food items from pizza to burritos. Students participated in many contests including an apple bobbing race, a pumpkin carving contest, and a pie eating contest. Freshman Traci Boyd was the first to come up with an apple while senior Tommy Savedra proved to be the master carver. The scarriest Rams on campus had a chance to terrify the crowd at the rally in the costume con- test. Senior Robert McKay took the top prize as he received the loudest screams from the audience. In the faculty department, Mr. Penhall was selected as the most terrifying teacher as he overwhelmingly received the crowds ' approval.
