those little kids left Crying. There were also some crumbsnatchers between the ages of 9 to 14, who attempted to act sophisticated and yell bark at the people who were dressed up, when attually they had seared the fi$tlzofloz out of them. Juniors, who participated in the haunted gym, had their opinions. Karen Bickel, setsretary ol the Jr. Class, I thought the haunted gym was great! We had a lot of people help and we also had a lot of original seenes. There wasn't one kid who eame out of there and could not say they weren't stared. Anna Ramser, I really had a lot of fun and enjoyed myself. Being the first one, we had a very good haunted gym. However, I felt we weren't appreciated enough for doing what we did. A lot of hard work was put into the gym and I did not appreciate, at all the juniors who came strolling in at 6:30 Wednes- tlay night and just decided to he in the haunted gym. I suppose, though, that you will always have those who work and have fun and those who are your typical freeloaders. Karen Adams, I thought it was really good. I didn't expect to make as , much money as we did. I really had fun i working in the haunted gym. Steve Bottorff, Personally, even though I worked in it, I thought it was great. Even if some people didn't have. fun, I sure did. The best part was making the little kiddies scream. Oh! and, of course, attacking the girls in the dark wasn't bad eitherK' Although the haunted gym was a success, it did take numerous hours of long, and hectic efforts. From the cutting and painting of cardboard to the gathering of materials from home, the haunted gym was exclusively homemade. The Juniors tried to find a fund raising project that didn't include selling and the haunted gym turned out to he just the kind of activity they l were looking for.
