However, Halloween moods were darkened at the dance because of low attendance. 1 o most students it was just an ordinary dance, but to other students it was a time to “show off. The students who went to the Halloween Dance were very creative in chosing their costumes. “I went as Charlie Brown and Laury Smith went as Lucy,” commented Nancy LaFoone, junior. Also attending the dance was Gumby, Bill Daniel, junior, a gremlin, Bill Gornik; and the San Francisco Chicken, Scott Tuft, seniors. Sponsoring the Oct. 25 dance was the Stu- dent Council. They gave eight awards, free cinema tickets, to MHS students who cap- tured the spirit of Halloween. Winning the award for best couple, Rag- gedy Ann and Andy, were Lou Castellani and Dave Herbert, seniors. “It was fun winning the award because no one knew who we were,” said Herbert. However, low attendance at the dance seemed to darken the holiday mood. According to Pat Mulloy, Student Council sponsor, only 280 tickets were sold. “The dance could have been better if more people came,” said Tammy Barkauskas, sophomore. “I was going to go as Tom Selleck but I shaved off my mustache, so I could’t go,” added Pete Routsolias, senior. Although the turnout was low, underclass- men look forward to the annu al dance. “I’m looking forward to the dance next year because it will be my last Halloween Dance,” commented Chrissy Perez, junior. — Tina Carrigan “I was going to go as Tom Selleck but I shaved off my mus- tashe so I couldn’t go.” — Pete Routsolias, Senior Halloween 15
