We say Martians and clowns, nurses, cats, valley girls and witches, to mention only a few. Students at Myrtle Philip Elementary School dressed up too. Gruesome monster Davey Blaylock [Barr] tricked and treated with timid lion Jake Humphrey and hideous Swamp Thing Aaron Gross and students paraded before parents in the gym before going off to Halloween parties in their classrooms. For more glimpses into the strange, see page 9.
