Paper 13.http://jdc.jefferson.edu/caps_and_capes/13"OCTOBER CUS'rOM" Apple bobbing, ghost s~ories, the Great Pumpkin rises! Halloween, celebrated October Jlst, is a time of parties for young and old. It means hallowed or holy evening because it takes place the day before All Saints Day. In the ?OO's the Roman Catholic Church named November 1st as All Saints Day. 'rhe old Pagan customs and the Christian feast day were combined into the Halloween festival. Many superstitions and symbols are connected with this festival. ~he Irish have a tale about the Jack-a-lanterns. According to the legend, Jack was unable to enter heaven because he was miserly, but could not enter hell because he had played practical jokes on the devil. As ~ result, he walks the earth with his lantern, until Judgment Day The Druids, an order of priests in ancient Gaul and Britain, believed tnat on Halloween, ghosts, spirit~. witches, ana elves came out to harm their inhabitants. The cat was sacred and was believed to have once been human, but was transformed as a punishment for evil d~eds. F~om these beliefs come the present day use of witches, ghosts, and cats in Halloween festivities. · The Druids also h ad an autumn festival called "Samhain" , or summers end. It was the occasion for feasting of the foods which . had been gro~n during the summer. The CQstom of using leaves, pumpkins, and cornstalks as nalloween decorations comes from the Druids also. · In the United States, today, children of all ages shout "TRICK or TREAT" as they go from door to door. To prevent window soaping and other pranks, the guests are offered candy or apples by the family of the ~ome. " 'rl:1E GREAT PUMPKIN" Halloween is a time for children to dres s like any thing they want and try to get all the candy their little hearts desire. But yet, somewhere, there's a little bay that rejects all this and sits in a sincere pumpkin patch waiting for the "Great Pumpkin" to appear. If you are an avid Peanuts reader a~ I,you Will know !~mediately that this little boy is the "blanket dragg ing Linus". And who's to say the "Great Pumpkin" do e sn't exist? Certainly not I!! Linus' philosophy on this is quite logical-if there's a Santa Claus and an Easter Bunny, why not a "Great Pumpkin"? He firmly believes, against all other scoff-ing, that o n Halloween, the "Great Pumpkin" will a.rise from the most sincere pumpkin patch in the world, and present candy and toys to all those who beli ev e , in him. "AUTUMN 1967" There is a crispness in the air; The scent of burning leaves-And bright, plump pumpkins everywhere And Indian corn in sheaves. Thiq is the time of football cheers; ,, ,, For mums with streamers bright-For rosy cheeks and victory tears; For bonfires in the night. Yes, now that autumn has appeared With trees turned red and gold-Look forward to a bright, new year And the happiness it holds. \ \ ~ \ ! Ii · ·1 i I ' ' ~i I ·/;' ! ,;.:1 ' / / ,\ •' \l ;/ !

Searching for a better journey To make our path of life worthwhile, We aimed our sails so hopefully Toward a land, as yet on trial. At long last our friends understo The zeal that encouraged us on, Supporting us as best they could To our New World of Jefferson.

"I'M DREAMING OF THE GREAT PUMPKIN" I'm dreaming of the great pumpkin Just like I do each time this year. When he brings nice toys To good girls and boys Who wait for him to appear. I'm dreaming of the great pumpkin With every pumpkin card I write. May your jack'o'lantern burn bright When the great pumpkin visits you tonight! PU MPKIN BELLS! ! Dashing thru the streets In our costumes bright and gay To each house we go Laughing all the way Halloween is here, Making spirits bright What fun it is to trick or treat And sing pumpkin carols tonight! Oh, pumpkin bells, pumpkin bells! Ringing loud and clear, Oh, what fun Great Pumpkin brings When Halloween is here! "THE 'rWELVE DAYS OF HALLOWEEN" On the 12th day of Halloween my true love gave to me twelve bats-a-flying 11 masks a-leering 10 ghouls a-groaning 9 ghosts a-booing 8 monsters shrieking 7 pumpkins glowing 6 goblins gobbling 5 scary s pooks 4 skeletons J black cats 2 trick or treat ers And an owl in a dead tree!! "OH PUMPKIN CARDS II 0 pumpkin cards! 0 pumpkin cards! Carry greetings to my friends, Let them know the day is here When the Great Pumpkin will appear O pumpkin cards! O pumpkin cards! Carry greetings to my friends!! Congratu+ations to all of us, for another month has flown by making our goal in life become just a little more real. And as each step towards success is taken, there will be many obstacles put in front of you, which should only in-crease the pride that you'll wear that white uniform with some day. Many times you'll be sitting up late, with a book propped in front of you, wondering why you are here. It is at these times that I was prompted to write this poem: "FOR WHAT II So long I study Cramming bits of information My eyes grow weary But I continue My head begins to swell For I am incapable of remembering For what, I ask. A patient smiles, but Apprehension lurks behind it. I am who he turns to As if I possess some God-like powers. God give me the strength to continue And the will to learn I want to help But without knowledge I am dumb Kindness cannot answer questions Love cannot make fear diminish I am thy ·1nstrument Dull but willing Sharpen me that my words may cut the Unknown. . I • "WHO US??????" By some unknown mode of t ransmiss ion , the word has gotten around that our c lass (1969) is very "unfriendly". I t has be en said that we, as a class, completely ig -nore our instructors and facul ty, never giving them as much as a friendly "hello " . A great majority of t he c lass, how -e~er, seems to feel that this i s not t he case and that the situation i s reversed . Obviously there is a pr oblem of lack of communication• here. If t he f aculty feels that we are unfriend ly and vic e versa, something must be done! We do not want this unspoken feeling to exist be-tween our faculty and ourselv es. Let us, the Class of 1969, make the effort to be friendly at all times , no matter how we feel. Perhaps _by con-tinuing to do so, we can destroy this image of us, which we know deep inside is untrue. THE CLASS OF 1969 NOTES FROM CAPS & CAPES Do your books have that "too used " look? Are their covers ragged and torn? Whether they are or not we can assure you that Jefferson book covers will add a little bit of color to them. Just approach any member of the staff and s he will glad-ly sell you as many as you ne ed for just 1 0~ per cover. Sairy Gamp is a creature you hear a bout quite often through your years in tra i n-ing. Well, she is now ready to expres s her views on any questions or pr obl ems you have. Just drop these int o the spec i a l mailbox at the desk and I'm sure s he ' ll do her best t'o answer all your questions!! "THE SPIRIT OF'67- '68 11 As all of the juniors and s eniors know, and probably the freshmen have heard, last year's basketball team was "GREAT"!! The Jeff grapevine has it that this year's team has the potential to be even greater. I often wondered how much of the winning spirit is actually present in the team itself . I like to believe that much of the enthusiasm is radiated to the team by the spectators. Everyone knows that the excitement of an actual game isn't experienced at a practice session. So the cheering crowd must have something to do with it. I know that the excitement stirred up last year has continued through in the upperclasses. So this article will be directed to the freshmen. A lot of students don't realize how exciting girls' basketball can get. So therefore, I'm making just one re-quest - this is that each freshman go to at least one game. I promise you that after that one game you'll want to go to all the rest. I'm sure there will be some girls who won't go to any games. They'll never realize what great fun they're missing. The winning spirit wil l be carried by loyal students and our winning team won't even miss the few "stay at homes". But, if anything , I want to impress you with the fact that by not participating in Jeff act ivities you'll miss out on an important part of Jeff life. So come on girls, and let's all hit the games together, and really live it up. And best of luck to the Jefferson Saries and the true "SPIRIT OF 67-68 11 ! ! ! ! "SOCIAL NEWS II Your invited to a costumed Halloween Party ! Cos -tumed? You gulp! Yes - of course for all those who really aren't -inhibited and want to be part of the fun.
