iilori II I Gi lastly Imaginations go wild with Halloween spook irl alloween was a time for let- ting the imagination get the better of you. Spirits were high as people let all their secrets come out into the open. From strange creatures in outerspace to sleek looking French bar maids the costumes varied far and wide as did the per- sonalities in them. Everyone had their own opinion of what hallow- een was all about. For me Halloween is a day that I can do just about anything I want to and no one cares because eve- ryone else is doing crazy things too, sophomore Carla Hohn said. Halloween was not only a time for dressing up though. It gave peo- ple an opportunity to make up for all the times their friends played a joke on them or to even get re- venge for something an enemy might have done. You could do it secretly or you could be more ob- vious. One time some of my friends and I completely toilet-papered this guy ' s whole house and yard. Then we filled his mailbox up with shaving cream. Luckily, he was a good friend of ours! junior James Ortiz said. Along with the pranks and get- ting dressed up there were the par- ties. Many studentswent to at least one while those with cars often cir- culated from party to party. All too soon though the witching hour was past and it was time to settle back into the routine of school with only fun memories and a few peices of leftover Halloween candy.

• • After hours tires devoted workers JVl orning already? thought the drill team members and other students up early for zero-hour as they forcefully pulled themselves out of the comfort of their warm beds and into the coolness of the early morning. The drill team members attend- ed early morning practice sessions beginning at 7 a.m. to prepare for upcoming pep rallies and games. Although it was hard to get up because it was still dark outside, it was a lot easier to practice in the morning because we were fresh and not worn out, junior Tam- mey Blasdel said. Along with the drill team, many clubs and spirit committees also met before school while other stu- dents were in zero hour. Other extra-curricular activities did not begin until after school practice began at 3:45 p.m. when the last bell for the day had rung. We spent a lot of time in practice after the school day en- ded. Although I think it was tough, it really paid off when football season began, senior Abe Vanderberry said. To promote school spirit the cheeleaders decorated lockers and practiced every day to pre- pare for the upcoming games and pep rallies. Whatever their reason, many students stayed around the clock participating in their fa- vorite pastimes and supporting their school. Getting ready to begin early morning practice, the Cardinal Belles attempt to wake up with the sounds of music. Pholo B Sleie MK ' andless 26 ZZZZ . . . Student Life I I I
