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.

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.

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.
