Knowing that Qerakl ford received an honorary degree iast year. Richard Mixon, with his secret serviceman, stopped by the Maasquerade to sec if lie could get one too. There's No Trick - Maasquerade Was A Treat MAASQUERADE The Maasquerade is Hope's tradi- tional Halloween dance which pro- vides a good opportunity for those of us too old to trick-or-treat to get dressed up and just have fun. Maasquerade has been a well- attended, long-running SAC event which always proves to be a huge success. This year's Maasquerade was no exception, as nearly five hundred people, all in costume, arrived at the Maas Center on Oc- tober 22nd. The dance was unique this year in that SAC hired a D.J. who supplied both music and videos entertainment, riot only did the participants enjoy good music, but they also got to watch the latest videos on a big screen T.V. A costume judging occurcd during the evening, in which prizes, generously donated by lo- cal businesses, were awarded to those with the best costumes in different categories. The catego- ries ranged from the funniest to the scariest to the most colorful. The decorations and refreshments added to the fun and festiveness of the occasion.

 You're Never Too Old For Halloween Maasterious!'' We asked senior Tom Kyros, who has attended the Halloween dance for four straight years, to share with us his impressions of the event. MILESTONE: Why did you go? KYROS: I go every year! I hate thinking about Halloween the week before, because I always feel foolish dressing up- UNTIL a great costume idea hits me, and then I love it! MILESTONE: What was the best costume you saw there? KYROS: OURS! Oh, you mean besides ours?................. MILESTONE: What was your costume?(sec picture on previous page) KYROS: Qlen Oosterhoff and I went as upside-down people. MILESTONE: Did you win a prize? KYROS: Yes, but I lost it. I put it in my pocket, which of course was upside-down, and you can figure out the rest. Qlen and I won a ten dollar gift certificate to Superior Sport, so I guess someone out there is wear- ing ten dollars worth of our prize. MILESTONE: Will you miss not be- ing able to go next year? KYROS: I just don't know what Halloween will be like next year with- out the Maasquerade! Dicsscd in his Lcidcrhoscn. senior Gary Kunzi is ready for hiking in Ihc Alps.
