BOO! The tradition of Halloween dates all the way back to t 700 ' $ and religion of the Druids in pre-Christian Ireland a nd Scotland, and even until the 19th century ' Halloween folk customs of Pagan origin flourished. The public lues become less tolerant of youthful pranks, such as .setting fire to barn and overturning hay wagons, but the celebration of this oik festival has stayed so throughout the years that this is still o ne of the more important folk occasions dominated by the young! year at the Halloween rally there was quite a variety of unusual and traditional costumes. In third place and beatin out the raisins was Julia Mentan, as a bunch of fresh gra Making fun of our neighboring rivals, Daind Trier. Paul rthur, and Tout Proven dressed up as three beautiful Notre Dame girls ready for a night out on the town and won second place. And in first place, Louis Citllen decided to just go easy this year and go as an overdressed witch. Good job Louis, Julie, and our Notre Dame Sweethearts!

MAKING THE CONNECTION Because of the tremendous influence the powerful me- dia has on our lives, it ' s no wonder we ' re considered the M-TV generation. Being more future oriented than our parents, we ' re more independent, mature, and in control of our futures, replied many high-school students. With this in mind comes the pressure to achieve at a much earlier age. We ' re choosing the right classes and clubs and com- peting for the top scholarships. In order to pay for those expensive school activities that drain our savings accounts, we had to stretch our minds and time by juggling a full load of courses and part-time jobs. Get more involved! Get more involved, said many of the class officers throughout the year. Several students obeyed this command, but many of us ignored it. Even though we were struck by many aspects of student life, many students, for various reasons, found it difficult to get involved. As the weeks went by, it came down to deciding what was more important, having a memorable and exciting year or being bored and un- satisfie d. We knew it was important and soon the clubs be- gan to fill and the activities were well attended. While getting more involved, new friendships were made. Birthdays were acknowledged and occasionally students were seen wearing P.J. ' s or carrying various dif- ferent kinds of balloons from class to class. Getting more involved brought friendships closer, and here at Carlmont friendships last a long, long time. STUDENT LIFEJ
