Those students with the urge to be different choose Halloween to wear the strangest, most bizarre costumes they can think of to be different than the oth- ers. Halloween is a day for us to be ourselves, to let out that person in us that de- sires to be different from our usual Minnechaug exte- rior. Instead of the jeans, sweaters, and designer clothes, we forget our fash- ion conscience appearance and show the little bit of strangeness that is hidden inside of each and every one of us. Heather Wages showed her originality in her Alice in Wonderland costume. Kristen Mastroianni and Kim Diotalevi dressed up as Mouskeeters from the Mick- ey Mouse Club. Kristen Pis- conieri went all out in her Raisin man outfit. Christine Martin and Jessica Gianan- toni came as Raggedy Ann and Andy. Kelli Thomas used her soccer injury to her advantage, she came as a boxer with a very believ- able black eye. Every year the costumes seem to be more and more bizarre, can ' t wait for next year . . . Reliving the 60s, Jeff O ' Shaughnessy and Brett Knowles promote a well-known slogan of that time. Jessica Gianantoni a.k.a. Raggedy Ann, enjoys her Halloween candy (although she shouldn ' t be eating it in the library).

LUNCHTIME AGAIN 10:55 — the bell rings. For a lucky few — that means lunchtime! Lunchtime at Minnechaug brings mixed reactions from many people. Amy Jenkinson finds lunch to be a repulsive experience. I always bring my own lunch. Others have just accepted it. It ' s okay ' says Chris Agnew, some of the lunches aren ' t that bad. A trip to Mrs. Robinson ' s D- block art class will bring you upon an in-depth dis- cussion over the school lunch. What ' s for lunch? yells Kelli Thomas from across the room. Hamburgers and rice. Danielle Couture yells back. Rice? I love their rice. I think I ' ll get a double order today. What do you rate to- day ' s lunch? Definitely a four and a half, maybe even a five. Kelli answers. And the discussion con- tinues. Although many stu- dents do not get as involved in the school lunches as they do, we have to deal with it. The lunch line is definite proof that most of us have grown to accept the school lunches. However, the longer the line is, the longer you have to talk with your friends that you do not see during the rest of the day. Only problem is, once we get our food, there are only five minutes left in the lunch period for us to eat. Sometimes lunch can be a real hassle, but for most of us, we just have to accept it as a reality, and then there are those select few who ac- tually enjoy it. 1 Stand by I Me — Tara Reave Kelli Thomas, Danielle Couture, and Kari Chamberlain talk while enjoying their favorite period of the day, lunch.
