Frightful fun Students take the haunt out of Halloween elebrating Halloween had always n a long standing tradition on cam- Dorm trick-or-treating, going to illicago in costumes, silly little pranks, an occasional peck on the cheek re all common practices on Hallo- len weekend. The atmosphere during this time was 1 in different ways. Many dorm floors eavored to make theirs the scariest by setting up tombstones for a graveyard scene. Music was used for the setting of a haunted house sensation. Walking down long corridors with the lights dimmed and rubber spiders and bats hanging from the ceiling were what girls ex- perienced on Chapman fourth floor. The Hills boys got a kick out of watching the girls walk in confusion from bright blinding strobe lights. And the tradition ; x nette Powell and Fred Harvey clown around while trick-or-treating. It was fun thinking of what ume to wear, especially when you went treating with a partner. Photo by ]. Springer of the guys trick-or-treating in the girls dorms first was never forgotten, The candy always looked so familiar. Along with this frightful fun the students realized and respected the school ' s stand and always dressed in moderate costumes and kept the Chris- tian values in mind. Q (Z.

He came as a babe The 1985 Christmas Banquet students gather in celebration October began with planning for Olivet ' s annual all-school Christmas Banquet. In November, all ideas were down on paper and ready for construction. Too quick- ly, the middle of November was upon each member and this meant starting construction on the little things. The first part of December, creativity was bounding from all and the basics of the Banquet was underway. Stained glass, nativity scenes, tablesettings, and the picture background were all worked on by the council members. Jo Williamson, Vice-President of Social Affairs, appointed four people to the job of organizing a certain part of the banquet and bringing everything together. One week before the banquet several all-nighters were pulled by coun- cil members and those who were willing to help out.

Saturday afternoon last minute things were completed and Ludwig looked great. The council toured the place to make sure everything was in place. A sigh of relief and happiness was heard from each person beholding the beautiful thought and sight of the season. Everything went well and the program topped off the evening with a glow. Then came the difficult part of taking all the decorations down. All the work and planning was done. Even so, each coun- cil member felt proud to have been part of such meaningful and fond memories.
