October 31st, Springville Junior High School students dress in a wide assortment of costumes. Why? For nothing less than Halloween!
“I think it’s fun to see all the creative costumes that kids come up with,” said assistant principal, Ms. Miley, about letting students dress up at school on Halloween day.
There were many great costumes this year. Some of the faculty even joined in the fun. According to Mrs. Bales, the attendance secretary, Mr. Van Ausdal and Mr. Argyle’s Duck Dynasty attire was especially impressive.
Halloween is a time full of fun, scares, and sugar highs, but where did it come from?
Some believe that it has origins in Ireland. On October 31st, the ending of the Celtic year, they believed that for that one night, spirits would rise and roam the earth.
Costumes were worn in order to mimic them, and things such as turnips and gourds were carved and set on front porches to greet deceased loved ones, and ward off malicious Spirits.
All in all, this year’s Halloween celebration can be considered a success.
