The crowd slowly started rolling in as the excitement of Halloween was in the air. Clowns, nerds, monkeys, and celebrities gathered in the amphitheater for the first Annual Halloween Carnival at Pitman High.

  The costume contest was a huge hit. Each character walked across the stage and had to state their name and costume. The overall winners of the costume contest were the 6 seniors who made up the Tetris costume. Other winners include Patrick Norris and Sam Cotton as Taylor Swift and Kanye West and Skyler Sexton and Jacob Belloli as monkeys with cymbals. There were many home made costumes as well including the man in the wind, the Morton salt girl, Jack from Jack in the Box, Tiger Woods and his three wives, lacrosse players, and the Renaissance Vampire.

  Not only was there a costume contest, but there was also a photo booth put on by Photo Club and teacher dunk tank presented by PHAST Club. For the dunk tank, each person got a chance to dunk a teacher if they had a bracelet from Red Ribbon Week. In the photo booth you could have your picture taken in a real coffin.

  The first annual Halloween Carnival was a huge success and next year will be filled with even more excitement because Halloween will be on a Monday.
