The Halloween party with the most realistic decor that came to our attention was that give^i by Jackie Hill and Judy Harrison for their Westwood school classmates. The Harrison farm was the setting for such realism as straw stuffed, ketchup-covered "bodies" floating in the Lake and hanging from the tree, as well as a headless horseman galloping about on a white horse. Ghosts and witches darted about in the woods and Judy's aunt painted balloons with flourescent paint and stood behind a tree to provide the sound effects of hoots and howls. The twenty guests rode in a hay rack to and from the bonfire around which the refreshments of hot dogs, marshmallows, and cider were. served. Two weeks* of ghoulish enterprise were required to effect this fracas which adds up to a lot of hard work done by Judy and Jackie.
