GoInG bIzArRe ust when you thought it was safe to go M back out into the hallways... V It ' s October 31st, the day when the spirits of the underworld have free reign over the earth and mortals are helpless un- der their power. Among the hundreds of pumpkins that watch unsuspecting students scurry below, paper streamers seem to lie in waiting, ready to entangle one of these students in their fluid arms. Vampires stalk unfortunate young maidens in search of life-sustaining blood. Black-and-silver-clad ninja masters flash their gleaming swords, concealing sa- distic grins behind eerie masks. Mysterious figures step out of the past to haunt the dwellers of the present. In the darkness of the corridor, unearthly creatures lurk around every corner. There is no escape, for it is Halloween, when the universe goes bizarre.

The week ' s events included twin day, green and gold day, nerd day, and class color day. Many people par- ticipated on these days to show their school spirit. Thursday evening, halls were decorat- ed, and the next morning they were judged. Judging was difficult because all of the halls looked spectacular, but the sophomores came out on top with their haunted house. The seniors were a close second for their decorating job which utilized real husks and pumpkins. The juniors took third place with their ghosts and Halloween streamers. Fri- day was a shortened day followed by the pep rally. There was an obstacle course, track race, and a tug of war between the classes. The Homecoming game was Saturday, November 1, and the stands were filled with 8 loyal fans. We cheered our team to a dis- heartening 28-6 loss to the tough team of Newburgh. The floats were the highlight of the half- time show. The sophomores grabbed anoth- er first place victory with their circus float. The seniors rode to second place in their green Model T, and the AFS club took third place with its international float. The parade was completed by the king and queen nomi- nees in convertibles. The band also enter- tained at half-time with their patriotic show, America ' s Heritage, America ' s Music. The Homecoming dance started at 7:00, and the loss on the field had seemingly little effect on everyone ' s spirits. Homecoming king and queen, Jack Canavan and Denise Killoran were crowned. Fabulous music by the band Breakaway and enthusiastic danc- ing were a fitting ending to a week of spirit. above: Assistant coach, Joe Brenner, gives a pep talk to the varsity players.
