Although not originally planned as a substitute for trick or treating, the school's first Halloween Carnival turned out to be just that. Because of the tense situation between strikers and non-strikers, trick or treating was discouraged by both sides. The carni- val, held in the multi-purpose room of the high school, proved to be an en- joyable alternative. Sponsored by Student Council, the first of what may become an annual event attracted hundreds of people. We sold between 6,000 and 7,000 20 Halloween Carnival SCHOOL CARNIVAL REPLA TRICK OR TREATIN tickets at 15 cents each, claimed Lorraine Moya, program coordinator for Student Council. Participating or- ganizations and classes sponsored booths which included a fish pond, coin toss, and fortune teller. A must for everyone at the car- nival was a trip through the haunted house sponsored by the juniors. Jac- queline Cooper escorted groups of five people through the maze set up on the stage. Some of the little kids really got scared, she recalled, es- pecially when what they thought was .: ,gif a dummy sat up in the coffin. A costume contest was held earlj in the evening with prizes going ti winners in four age groups. An err barrassed Shelly Ruedas, competing in the ninth grade and up category recalled: I felt a little stupid standing on stage in front of everybody dressed as a pumpkin. Stuffed witl balloons, Shelly's costume could bi heard popping throughout the eve ing. I had to run from some of m friends who thought it was funny tc hear them pop and me scream. D K
