If I remember anything about Hallowe'en, mothers all over town will probably now be wondering what on earth to do with bags full of gum, apples, candy kisses and all the other treasures which their miniature ghosts and goblins brought home after trick-or-treating on the magic night. Hallowe'en more or less Passed me by this year, as it has done for the past few years since I moved away from home. Once I reached my late teens, I felt I was teo "sophisticated" to take part in the spooking which had given me such a thrill just a few years earlier. But as I saw all the kids out on Tuesday night, (some adven- turous ones daring the dark by themselves: others, less sure of themselves accompanied by mothers and fathers), it brought back a lot of memories of Hallowe'ens past, and I wished, just for a night, that I could be 12 years old again. Once the leaves started to fall at home, we used to start plan- ning what we would wear on the scariest night of the year. We'd dig around to find an old straw hat and a pair of coveralls of my father's, or high-heeled shoes and a dress of my mother's. Once in a while, we would splurge and buy some black bristol board from which to fashion a fairly credible witch's hat or dig out some chicken wire to make the mold for a cat's tail. Then the big day would arrive. The first highlight was always a party at school. As I remember, it was always planned by the Red Cross Club, and for a couple of weeks prior to the event, art classes would make their con- tributions of spooky black and orange creations. The buses would be loaded to capacity as kids carried odd shaped bags and boxes containing their costumes. The teacher was the judge for this great contest, with prizes going to the most imaginative costume and to the person who stayed anonymous the longest. have no doubt that at least part of the afternoon's excitment was generated because there was no school, But the show did not end with the costume parade, Over in one We Have A Fine Selection of • Diamonds • Wedding Rings • Watches • Cocks • Cuckoo Clocks • Barometers For A $1.00 Purchase . 111 WIN A Free Ladies or Gents Watch on Christmas Eve corner, sitting on pilea of old newspapers, was a big tube filled withice-cold water (we didn't have hot water in the $0001) And a tempting collection of the biggest, jeiciest looking apples you have ever seen. There was always a bit of excitment over there when the teacher wasn't looking and a prankster dunked the head of an unsuspecting tinker. Stretched out in a line and hanging from the ceiling in front of the blackboards were more apples, dangling on the ends of freely swinging strings of various length, More than one of us got knocked on the noggin by an over- zealous pal trying to snag his prize. The best part of the afternoon, though was the ghost-walk, This was always set-up by the senior boys, and its content were probably the most-well kept secret in the school. It was always held in the cellar of the school. This in Itself was a bit awesome for us, because we were never allowed in the dark, dingy old cellar, except to store our sleds and toboggans in the winter. But for a week or two in ad- vance, the senior boys could be seen sneaing into the basement with all sorts of strange-looking objects, always to the envy of those of us who would have liked to help. The march down into the cellar began shortly after the costume parade. You only went if you wanted, but there were very few who would resist the challenge of the unknown. Each student was well blind- folded, and led by the hand throughout the ordeal. But the stairs themselves were a challenge. They were steep and narrow to begin with but when you had someone telling you to take a giant step so you wouldn't fall through the broken step (always imaginary), it really became adventurous. Those of us waiting our turns at the top of the steps, rather afraid of the descent, but not willing to back out could here the shrieks of the girls, and even the occasional one from the boys who preceded. I think the anticipation of what was to come was sometimes worse than the actual ghost walk. A choir from. the Clinton ..Chris- tian Reformed Church led the singing at the song service on.

We were told of course some gruesome tales about what it wus supposed to be, and the imagination can run wild in a situation like that. M the end of the ghost walk, the reward was getting to take your blind-fold off and seeing what you had actually come through, and watching the next victim. It was usually a well- ordered obstacle course. You had to walk over things, under things and around imaginary objects, But it was made mostly of your own imagination, rather than anything that was actually there, Hallowe'en night, Mom and Dad used to drive us up the road, stopping in at neighbors along the way, and doing our share of trick or treating. Of course, with parents around there wasn't much tricking done. By the time we got to Mansfield, the street was alive with others and Mom and Dad used to go to visit and let us on our own, This was when the ex- citement really started. We never did any damage, but limited our tricking to whooping and hollering out in the street and making sure no-one saw us. One big thrill used to be for the more daring, to go to the minister's house and stand out- side a lighted window and make long 000ing sounds, like ghosts. The least hint of movement in- side though, and the dare-devil young goblins would be off like a shot, glancing behind as they ran to see if the minister had come out of his house. As we found out later, the minister always used to know who it was anyway, and had as much fun spooking us as we did him. But the biggest challenge of all was soaping windows. Not just any windows, but specifically the big ones on the general store. On that one night of the year, the storekeeper wouldn't sell soap to any kids, and his wife used to stand like a hawk by the window so that no-one could get near her windows. Of course somebody always did. Some of the smarter kids used to send one or two others in to divert her attention, while they went about their soapy business. But I wouldn'tbe sur- prised if she knew all along what was going on. And then it would end. But later, at home and in bed, we could dream of the bag of goodies we had collected, and daring deeds we had performed as we stalked around on Hallowe'en night.
