It’s the EMMA HALLOWEEN! This year was special because it happened on Thursday. Students got the chance to take a wonderful break in the middle of the academic week. The very first exciting thing was, of course, the dressing up. We had people from cartoon characters to movies stars, daily life objects to videos games, ghosts to beasts, and crazy women to swine flu. It was crazy and amazing to see different characters walking down the hallway or sitting right next to you in class. Our school basically turned to a “mix-up everything” movie. The creative and distinct costumes made the school day not only funnier, but also faster, in a good way. The second enlightening thing was the food at dinner; the kitchen prepared a big dinner with French fries, chicken fingers, cheese sticks, cakes, cookies, candies, and caramel apples. The dining hall was full of people, and their plates were full of food. The third ebullient thing that happened was the parade; every character became a model and showed their own characteristic. Judges gave prizes to some special ones, but everyone showed their best side. The fourth thing was the scary haunted house, which took place beside the health center. Proctors became the scary emotionless black creepers that made a lot of screaming that night. And, finally, the “sweetest” thing happened—trick-or-treat! Emma girls got to go to faculty houses near the campus and get a lot of candies! Happy Halloween! Check out the Photos page for a slideshow of Halloween costumes. Emma Willard students are very creative!
