as sr .yr fa Playing Dress Up Boo! Scared? For this year's Hallow- een, students came to school as their fa- vorite characters. Walking through the halls one could see Raggedy Ann and An- dy, pumpkins, Daphne from Scooby Doo, and Captain Jean Luc Picard. The atmosphere of mystery and imagination made Halloween memorable for students. The student council outdid themselves with the traditional events- a costume con- test, bobbing for body parts, a freeze dance competition. and a costume parade. At lunch everyone cheered when the judges found Waldo and made him a win- ner with Minnie Mouse and Jimmy Hen- drix as close second place winners. Each winner of the costume contest received a bag full of treats. Junior Jenny Mok said, Halloween was fun because I got to see how people's ideas went toward their cos- tumesfi Student disc jockeys took charge Tina Novero '00 The best part about Halloween is the can- dy. Now that I have braces. though. I can't eat it. Scaring little kids makes up for that. Also. every year I try to be as creative as possible with costume ideas. That's the easy part. The hard part is finding the cos- tume itself. of the music, leading the freeze dance competition. HWatching my friends in the freeze dance competition was hilarious and brought out their wild side, asserted Jon Cheung. Hit songs from bands like the BeeGees created a disco inferno. Daring students bobbed for body parts and apples during lunch. Afterwards people relaxed by watching the parade. The participants were more than happy to display their un- usual outfits. Some spirited teachers and faculty dressed up in costumes also. The day got so exciting that school seemed to end too quickly. Many students talked about their trick-or-treating plans, and others discussed ideas for next year's costumes. Overall, the good weather and laughter from lively students made it a beautiful day. , .

Lending a Helping Hand When it comes to helping those in need the SHC community always shines through. The Blood Drive turned out to be a great success, bringing in over 102 pints of blood. The Blood Drive was sponsored by Ms. Lorentz's Social Justice class. The Irwin Memorial Blood Bank began drawing blood early in the morning and continued to take do- nors late into the afternoon. The process is quite painless. All you have to do is lie down and after one little prick. you have given one pint of blood and saved ten lives. Many people were nervous about giving blood, but after going through the process they realized how important their donation was and relaxed. The school's donation helped meet the demand for this precious source of life. Mrs. Ershler's sociology classes helped with the Clothing Drive. For weeks they encouraged students to bring in their old and unwanted clothes. The class also helped organ- ize the clothes and set up refresh- ments. On February 13 the school opened the cafeteria doors to those in need. The students helped pass out the clothes and socialize with those who came. In less than an hour all of the clothing was distributed to people in need. On February 14 the adult community participated in a day of hospitality and service, giv- ing more clothing to the poor. The Clothing Drive was very successful in helping out those in need. -Nicole Bocci lt X 9 4 lgr 20 Raising Our Voices fie, X 1 1 .
