The ee- rie, fingernailsonthe-chalk- board cackle of an old de- mented witch reverberated in students’ ears. Why did so many encounter these on October 31st? Was it: A. the pain and agony caused by testing on the last day of the grading period? B. the football team getting psyched up for their big game against Chandler? C. just Halloween? Actually, October 31st was a day when “all of the above” took place. Although it was a testing day, students enthusiasm got the better of them. They couldn’t help but put on their costumes that they knew, later that night, would reap them a tasty reward. As a trial, the administra- tion decided to let students wear masks that covered their faces and concealed their identity. No serious problems occurred and ev- eryone enjoyed the extra creative touch that it added to their costumes. Tests taken, candy collected, and the Chandler Wolves wast- ed,-all students found some form of amusement which made Halloween a holiday heyday. Design by Wade Swanson.
