f Oi it N5 Halloween More Than Just Trick-Or-Treating' Halloween is the time of year for dressing up in costumes, carving Jack-o-lanterns, and trick-or-treating. Young children seem to get a thrill out of the festivities of this one evening. Although there are still a few high school students that go trick-or- treating, most are more interested in parties with friends or in putting on carnivals forthe children of the community. The original meaning of Halloween or Allhallow's Eve has become slightly distorted over the years. lt was originally thought to be a time when ghosts, goblins, fairies, witches, elves, and other spirits came out into the world to harm people. Of course, everyone knows that this is lust superstition. Halloween was once a safe time for kids to have fun begging for treats. However, in recent years this holiday has become quite dangerous for young kids. Fortunately, there are a few organizations in our community who understand this problem and want to help by putting on safe carnivals and parties for children. Among these organizations are the National Honor Society and Drama Department of Denton High School. With thanks to all of the people who participate in these projects, Halloween is once again becom- ing a safe time for the little ghosts, goblins and witches. by Hex Jennings Coach James Caldwell pulled some ol hls old clothes out ot the closet ln order to make hls Halloween costume.

Valentines Love is in the Air Again this year, the Junior Class held carnation sales. Carnations were sold the first week of February, raising approximately 81,200 for the prom. During second period classes, students re- ceived hundreds of brightly colored carnations, balloon-0-grams, roses, and candy in the tradi- tion of Valentines Day. Getting into the spirit of things, many students even elected to wear pink, red and white clothing. Determined lunlor class volunteers arrived at 6 a.m. to begin the long process ot sorting carna- tions. Their efforts brlghtened the day for many. by Christi Payne Putting her school work aside, Melissa Strange admires her carnations. if 5 .
