This year many people came in very ative and original costumes. ft: Pat Dunne and John Moylan carve ay. Many people enjoyed the pumpkin ving contest and had very innovative .igns. This year, Halloween brought out the kid spirit in all of us. Instead of another day at school, it was a day to be whatever you wanted to be. Students and teachers showed their Halloween spirit by dressing in a variety of costumes. The costumes consisted of soldiers, monsters, and many other things. Probably the most original costumes were those of sophomore Celina Gomes, who masqueraded as a baby riding on her mother's back, and senior Garrett Hall, who dressed up as a smurf. Other notable costumes were worn by seniors Nicole Bocci, who appeared as a Greek Goddess, Bindhu Varghese, dressed up as a monster convict, and Erin Gulbengay, outfitted as a southern bell. Besides costumes, the day was filled with activities. There was a pumpkin-carving contest during both lunch periods with tunes from disc jockeys Troy Farol and Jon Meneses. They played a variety of music including Rap and R 8: B. All students were able to dance, enjoy themselves, and receive prizes for their costumes. The students who did not dress in costume were still able to share in the fun by dancing or carving pumpkins. The fun continued with an early dismissal from school to attend the SHC vs. Serra football games. In addition, students had more time to prepare for the best part of Halloween: trick or treating. All of these events helped make Halloween fun for all students. -Anthony Nguyen '00 Above: Josephine Collette puts on her military gear and heads for action.

It was very impressive that SBO didn't resort to the normal, boring costume parade when planning the events. The were very creative and interesting. -Laura Feeney '00 Halloween is a time when the weird people can let their true feelings shine. Candy is probably the best part of Halloween. Stuffing yourself until you feel sick and watching horror movies is also a fun and related pastime of Hallow's Eve. Have fun on this day of festivities y'all! -Caitlin Beitiks '99 18 Halloween .ax

Get Your Blood Lamping Have you given blood before? Did you have breakfast? Did you drink some juice this moming? These questions seem all too familiar for those who have given blood. Throughout the day on October 30th many students gathered in the De Paul Cafetorium to give blood for the Irwin Memorial Blood Bank. Mr. Moore's E Block Chemistry in the Community class organized and supervised the day. Through posters, announcements and visits during Division, the Blood Drive was advertised all over the school so that more people would have an opportunity to donate. Donors spent Division in the La Salle Cafeteria having the classic donor's breakfast of bagels and juice. At eight o'clock sharp students began walking into the Cafetorium to give blood, and the process continued throughout the day. The process is quite painless. After checking in and answering a few questions, you lie down on a table. After one prick and some squeezing, you have given a pint of blood and helped save someone's life. Senior Vanessa Barsi said, l think that donating blood is one of the best things that anyone can do to help save a life. After giving blood and resting for a few minutes, donors received a snack and somejuice. The day turned out to be a great success. Over eighty pints of blood were donated. Our school community shined through at the Blood Drive and helped save many people's lives. -Nicole Bocci '98 20 Age of Reason Right: Donors sit down and enjoy a light snack after giving blood.
