AFS students celebrate Halloween by carving pumpkins in the science classroom. Costumes display Halloween spirit Among the traditional ghost and goblin garb worn on Halloween, GBS found it- self, on October 31, hosting such bizarre characters as the halfman-halfwomen, the jail- breaker, and a male go-go dancer. Though annually only a fraction of the students par- ticipate in dressing up, the day has always been labeled a success. What makes the day so special is not the number of students who wear cos- tumes, but the enthusiasm shown by those who do. Mr. Nick DuPont tries an new ap- proach to teaching his English class, Many students didn't get into the spirit Knot literallyj until they got to school. The Art Department helped some students by face painting. Those who forgot or were scared to dress up for the day, then got a second chance to join the celebration. Halloween just wasn't an- other holliday here at GBS. Students wore costumes not only for fun, but to expand themselves by doing some- thing out of the ordinary. They were in a sense, looking for spooks. Halloween! 33

Banquet Recreates Old English Era , , irls dressed in long dresses, clasped tight- ' ly at the waist with high bodices and boys wore bloomers with satin capes. Doesn't sound like GBS stu- dents walking down the hall, but actually it was the Master Singers disguised for their performance of the Elizabe- than Banquet. According to Dr. William Schnell, head of the Elizabe- than Banquet, it went very well. It was very successful. We had a lot of humor in it, which made it more fun for the students and for those watching. The Elizabethan Banquet was the creating of an atmo- sphere in an Old English set- ting during the holiday sea- son, said Schnell. About 80 people participat- ed in it. It's the largest num- ber of people we've had, he added. It's twice as many Doug Miller, Julie Krueger, and Jer- emy Page enjoy their Wassail as Baby tries something more nour- ishing. people as usual. According to Schnell, every Elizabethan Banquet is differ- ent. It's built around the tal- ent of the participants. If a student who's missing has a main part, it causes the din- ner to take a different charac- ter, just because he's miss- ing. Instead of serving each per- son separately, guests were served in a buffet style. The caterers did a good job, Schnell said. The money gained through ticket sale took care of the ex- penses. The venture raised about S100 and it went to the Master Singers' fund. , Even though Master Sing- ers went back to the Elizabe- than era, and it seemed as though they were going back in time, they were actually looking in the past to strive forward in the future. The Master Singer Bellringers greet the lord and lady of the manor with a holiday tune. Elizabethan Banquet! 35
