When you think of Halloween, you think of ghosts, goblins. candy and pum- pkins. But during this past Halloween at school, the students celebrated it by dressing up in spooky and innovative costumes. The costumes ranged from pirates to basketball players or cowboys to indians. along with magi- cians and elves. The students at De Sales really take an interest in this age old tradition. Many students enjoy the l'iCk Ol' flbiit 1 privilege of being out of uniform and spend the night before creating their costumes with their friends. lt is a day that students as well as faculty members enjoy. The teachers laugh at the creativeness of some costumes and encourage students to have a good time. yet not forget the real reason they are here. Students en- joy the change of classes and meeting the Nerds coming from another direc- tion down the hall or running into the Sheriff, who is frisking a beggar. Lunch time is louder this day than most. Friends are enjoying each other's costumes and play acting their part for each other. Halloween at De Sales is a good time for meeting new friends and having fun with the old ones. 1 .,., TJ'

Christmas Dance By: Lori Miller December 26th was the date of this year's St. Francis DeSales 1985 Annual Christmas Dance. Next to the Junior- Senior Prom, the Christmas Dance is one of the most looked forward to events on the social calendar. This semi-formal dance has been a tradition for some years. Dates are usually taken out for dinner and then 'V l taken to the school to attend the dance. which this year began at eight o'clock in the evening. The dance was held in the cafeteria with the music supplied by a DJ who played tapes of various types. The walls of the cafeteria were decorated with Christmas trees and can- dy canes. The price of tickets were seven dollars per couple and pictures were M. taken for five dollars. The dance was well attended, in fact, the dance floor proved to be too small for the en- thusiastic crowd. The dance ended at eleven. When asked how her evening went. Chris Moone replied, lt was a lot of fun! The only drawback was that it was too crowded: there wasn't enough room. It is a night I'll never forget. - ..r..,. Q j to of s if Q -is
