Halloween Celebrations - 1950
Bainbridge Central School
Bainbridge News & Republican, November 9, 1950
Kindergarten
Halloween brought many ghosts, witches, clowns and story book characters to kindergarten. The morning children paraded in the cafeteria before three judges, Mrs. Kenneth Parker, Mrs. Alan Black and Mrs. Vincent Benjamin. They had a difficult time selecting the winners but they finally chose Richard Tripp as a red headed bride, the funniest, Shirley Engle, a pumpkin, as the prettiest, Shirley Wilcox, a drum majorette, the cutest, Jeanne Rosa, as Little Red Riding Hood for the best story book character, Kenneth Mott dressed as an old witch and Faye Bliss dressed as a scary ghost, won the prizes as the most gruesome. The most original was Stanton Knapp dressed as a Chinaman. The best likenesses were Mary Ellen Morris as a hobo and David Martin as a monkey.
The parade visited all the lower grade rooms and then returned to the kindergarten room for refreshments.
Our room mothers, Mrs. Carl Hovey and Mrs. William Rosa served orange coconut pudding decorated like jack-o-lanterns and Halloween cookies. Each child's place was decorated by a lollypop resembling an old witch.
The afternoon kindergarten joined in the school parade. Several of the children were happy to win prizes. Dennis and Judy Wilcox were dressed as a ring bearer and flower girl, Gary and Roger Hutchinson were Peter Pumpkin Eater and his wife, Dave and Gale Meek were Dutch twins.
The children were delighted by the candy apples and popcorn that were served by Mrs. Tracy Day and Mrs. Carl Hutchinson.

We are proud of the four students in our grade who won prizes for their Halloween costumes. They are, Lola Talcott who was a sailor, Roger Felske, our Scarecrow, Jimmy Rosa, our cowboy, and Tobey Klinetob who was a "Tin Man." We were very surprised when a "witch" came in our room last Monday with candy in her witch's kettle for each of us, but we were also very pleased to welcome Mrs. Lane in her masquerade costume.
Miss Costello
Our Halloween party last Monday was a great deal of fun. Kenneth and Lee Thoms as Jack and Jill, Patricia Sherman and her brother as a "knife and fork" won prizes this year. There were a number of us who dressed up, however, Little Bo Peep," a princess, a chinaman with a real queue, a Japanese girl and many others were among us. Out class mothers, Mrs. Thoms and Mrs. Sherman, had charge of our party for which we are very grateful to them. In art this past week we have been working with clay. Bertha Haynes, Gladys Ruling and Raymond Brewer are our best artists.
Grade 2 - Miss Hoffman
A number of us won prizes for our Halloween costumes. Among them were: Vickie Johnson, "Light House"; Sam Delassio our "Caught in Perch Pond Fisherman"; Kent Fargo, who was "King Arthur"; Bonnie Loker an "Old-Fashioned Girl"; Dawn Terry as our Halloween "Witch"; Pat Yenson as "Raggedy Ann," and Dedra Day with her sisters as the "Three little Pigs." Mrs. Best, Mrs. Partridge and Mrs. Hovey, our grade mothers, brought us cookies and chocolate milk for our party. Many other mothers were also here.
