The spirit of Hallowe'en was in full display Friday at St. Joseph's Catholic High School with a full range of activities for students and staff.
Among them, of course, was the annual and hotly-contested pumpkin carving contest, won this year by a couple of grade 12 classes, taking advantage of their seasoned experience in the art of hollowing out the orange, gourd-like plant made famous for it's protection against whatever lurks in the night.
There was the haunted walk, an oddysey of darkness, a journey into the unknown. It was well-attended by many who chose to brave whatever may lay concealed in the gloom, and whatever bone-chilling delight that might leap from the shadows. We are happy to report that all who entered emerged safely on the other side, where the darkness was once again defeated by the light.
The building was awash in costumes, and several prizes were awarded to participants, including Joel Raycroft,pictured above at the Spirit Spot.
Congratulations to all who participated, and again to the Student Council, for their continued good efforts to promote spirit here at SJCHS.
