PAGE 2 NOVEMBER 3, 1978 Great Family Fun At Gfssf f Families gathered for. some fun and even a little excitement at the “Great Pumpkin” Party at the Community Center Octo ber 25. Of the estimated 125 persons present, nearly every one went home a winner. Pumpkin Pie Decorating Contest Orthelia Miller family took first place in the Most Colorful Pie contest. The Riggs Charley family came a close second. For the Scariest Pie, the Quinn family, led by Joyce, won first and the Versa Smith family took second for their efforts. CeCe Suppah and her brother had the fanciest pie so took home first place honors and the Art McConville family took second. Late entry Ada Sooksoit and her family (her Sahaptin lan guage class) won first for having the funniest pie. What was supposed to be aface seemed to be an abstract painting by an amateur artist. Jolene Tufti had a funny pie too, but she had to settle for second. Pumpkin Carving Contest First place in the Scariest Pumpkin division went to the Sonja Howtopat family. CeCe Suppah family won second with a POP AND SPOOKS — Halloween night found kids at tne community center carnival and costume judging after freaking out Warm Springs neighborhoods. P e o p le s Opinion QUESTION:' What is your opinion on. all the employees dressing in costumes on this year’s Halloween day, and do you think this could become an annual event? Ce Ce: Fantastic, helps us to get ready for all the other holidays coming up like Thanks giving, Christmas and New Years, and we are looking for ward for the management on picking up the tab for a New Year’s party. Joyce Erb: I thought it was real neat. I’m surprised that everyone went all out dressing in their costumes. It was just neat. This could become an annual event. CDS: It was kind of nice to see the camaraderie that devel oped out of the affair. I think people’s true personalities were espressed in their costumes, and everyone found new, comfor table ways to communicate with one another (roaring, saluting, flirting and telling fortunes is so much easier than ordinary con versation). It was a bit difficult to get any work done, however, with all the distractions. Mae Ann: 1 think it was pretty good, it got us away from the normal routine. Everyone seemed to enjoy it. This could become an annual event because this year everything was touch and go. Everyone didn’t know who all would dress. Cheryl: I thought it was fun. It gave the employees a chance to cut loose. This can become an annual event. Every one hesitated at first but finally got loose. - Orthelia M.: I thought it was a lot of fun, a change of pace from the everyday business. I think this can become an annual event. I was glad to see so many dress in their costumes. MikeC.: I thought it was neat. The little kids had the chance to come through the administration building and see all the adults dressed in Hallo ween costumes. They really enjoyed it, maybe we can do it again next year. Art T. Is my opinion that due to the paucity of levity events within the administration building, this past Halloween day was a pleasant change. As to whether or not this should be an annual event, I ask, (Quote, “Why not,” end of quote.) Michelle S. I thought it was great, I had fun. It made a boring day not a boring day.

Subscription Kate $6.00 pel* year" Pumpkin Party rushed job on their pumpkin. They were late because they were still eating supper when the contest began. Jolene Pitt and her family combined their efforts to have the, Cutest Pumpkin and thé Art McConville family took second again. (Must admit,-they sure have consistency.) Pumpkin Decorating Contest Riggs Charley’s family was chosen as having the Ugliest pumpkin (hands down). There was no second place winner in this event. For having the cutest pump kin, Orthelia Miller’s family was the winner. Alesie Eyle family had the second cutest pumpkin. Tommy Kalama’s family had the most Original Pumpkin and won that event. A Pie Eating contest was held and the Valerie Lawrence family at their pies the fastest and won* that event no sweat. David Lawrence wa§ the mes siest eater. An added attraction was a piñata. It took the kids quite a while and .a lot of beating to break open the piñata, but the reward was apparently well worth it. Dancing Your Way Out of Trouble Everyone is aware of the recent climb in alcohol and drug abuse, and in an attempt to Cut down on these problems, the Madras High School Indian Club sponsored a disco dance and contest at the Warm Springs Grade School gym, Halloween night. Indian club advisor, Ron Pinkham, noted that although a large profit wasn’t made, he felt the club was successfull in their purpose for having the dance. Pinkham proudly informed Spil yay Tymoo that school admini stration, tribal police, school custodians, and chaperones were very happy and pleased with the results: Assistant Chief of Police Dick Montée commended th e. Indian club for doing a “helluva job’ ’ and said he would like to see more dances or things of this nature. He also gave credit to the chaperones and club for policing and keeping things clean inside the dance area. “I think for the most part, they (teen-agers) took care of themsélves very well,” summed up Neil Wagner, Juvenile Ser vices. He did explain however, that some drinking was done in the perimeter of the area but was held ter a minimum. Wagner thought that some thing still needs to be addressed and that is self-control. He suggested the teens get together and talk with one another and say “hey, lets not do that (drink, take drugs, etc.). Another dance isn’t on the drawing board because of the high expenses for this dance, but its a possibility. DANCE CONTEST WINNERS Trudee Clements and Leonard discoed their way into first place. They each received were declared third place win ners and they took home $5. for their efforts $10 a piece. Matt Wewa and his partner Buckwheat Scott and Nisa . Sohappy won $5 each and second Marena Wolfe earned fourth place in their attempt in the place for their dancing and they were both awarded an unknown contest. Delson and CeCe Suppah amount of cash.
