Halloween Report :O

How Did Trick-or-Treating & Costumes Come About ?





The American tradition of "trick-or-treating" goes back to the early time of All Souls' Day parade in England. At the place, poor citizens would beg for food and families would give them pastries called "soul cakes" in return for their promise to pray for the family's dead relatives.

The giving of soul cakes was expectant by the church as a way to replace the ancient practice of leaving food and wine for roaming spirits. So from this young children began to go to neighbors houses and they would ask for goodies, like candy and such.

Dressing up in the odd costumes came from the Celtics. Hundreds of years ago, winter was a scary time for them .They would begin to lose food stock and surprisingly many were scared of the dark, so it was freighting going out. On October 31st, Halloween night people believed that’s when the ghost came back and they were scared they would be taken, so they wouldn’t leave their homes. To avoid getting noticed as humans the Celtics would put on mask to be disguised as their fellow spirits. On Halloween, to keep ghosts away from their houses, people would put food outside, thinking they would not come in.



So now Children of all ages up to usually 12 will put on their costumes and go around asking for candy, but the background of Halloween is usually not remembered. Most people don’t even know why they go trick- or - treating. Before it was because the people were frightened and hungry, but now it’s out of fun and games. It comes to show how much times have changed and evolved and developed something we all love to do.

Country music is performed with guitars and many back-up, up-beat instruments. Country musicians have a unique voice because of their southern accent.

What type of literature do you remember most about our theme-Emily White


I remember the movie " The Last Holiday" the most out of all the short stories and other literature we have read during our "live like you were dying" unit. I remember this movie the most because individually I am a visual learner. I remember the events that happen to represent our theme better when I can put faces with the event. That's why I also remember the song "Live Like You Were Dying" because we watched a video and I could hear the words, someone else was telling the story. Instead of having to read it myself.

Blue Jackets, Gold Standards
In the agriculture department the classes often go to the farm, but you have to be a dues paid member. Parts of the farm are very deciduous. Thats usually where tree ID and leaf identification take place. Other places are very spacious and clear, thats where the cows, horses and goats are kept.
The Montgomery County FFA Chapter has lots of cookouts. Sometimes we just make up reasons to have a cookout. We wouldn't be considered a very abstemious group. We are pretty much the farthest thing from it. We strive to make sure everyone feels at home and welcome. At these cookouts we do a little recruiting and the rest of the time we relax and enjoy the praise we are getting for a great acomplishment we may have made.
In the first few weeks of class we learn about the FFA organization. Lots of the FFA history take place during the Antebellum time period. During this time, FFA was just starting. At first it was an all boys club but with much detirmination girls were eventually allowed to join. Also, our creed was adopted in. The author of our creed is E.M. Tiffany. This consists of 6 paragraphs explaining what we believe in and what we try to acomplish as an FFA memeber.
The irony of being in FFA is that when people think about FFA, they think its for farm people only. But the reality is that we have programs for everyone. Some of our programs are: Welding, building, tractor driving, public speaking, speech writing, fossil research, technology based projects, and quizzes. So next time you see the Blue Courderoy Jacket just remember that the FFA members have Gold Standards.

The Biggest Crowd I have ever been in by:Audrey Hyatt

The biggest crowd I have ever been in was when I was watching a fight between two girls. It was one of the best fights I have ever seen. I remember it like it was yesterday we were all in the lunch room, and when I say we I mean the whole freshman class, it was just like any other day loud and boring until one of the girls sitting beside me started yelling at a girl at the table behind us. then all of a sudden she got up and slapped the girl in the face. It was like a firework going off, the boom part of the firework had just happened and every one had the same reaction as if a firework had went off every body in the whole lunch room had her eyes glued to them then they fell on the floor and as soon as that happened everyone stood up so they could watch, it was great. but that is definitely the biggest crowd I have ever been in.
