They came in groups-each

They knew who those North

Halloween-that handwriting
character in Cinderella" who
did magic things with a pump
kin.
There are 86 pumpkins in
the hospital rooms to prove it.
But unlike Cinderella's pump
kin, these did not revert to
their original form at mid
night. Today they are still
in the transformed states in
which the Silver Spring teen
ayers put them.

For the Transformation, the
Northwood teens used knives,

Of roundness and, with his
radish-slivered eyes, he was
looking down on the girl, who
was smaller. She, in turn, was
cutting her slivers at him.
Her mouth had a radish peel
for hpstick and there were
radish roses in her hair.
"They were supposed to be
a typical boy and girl at
Northwood," explained Donna.
And they turned out to be
even more typical than Donna
intended.
Girl Loses Boy
Jean Eddy and nine other
teen-agers loaded the pump
kins into Senior Bill Gregg's
truck and delivered the Hal
loween treat to Children's
Hospital. During the shuttle,
the winning boy pumpkin got
lost from the girl pumpkin
with her winning ways.
Now the typical NOrthwood
boy sits alone in the school
office with only his big blue
ribbon for consolation. And
down at Children's Hospital,
with her radish slivers looking
for the boy, is the little girl
pumpkin.
But that only makes them
more Of a typical boy and
girl" Whenever you start CIV
ing the eye to someone, as
many teen ayers know,
there's usually som e one
around to separate and pro-
tect you.
And evidently 1t even works
that way for pumpkins when
they turn into boys and girls.

Arranged Contest
To make Operation Pumpkin
even more interesting, the
student council had a contest.
The homeroom whose pump
kin was judged by three art
teachers to be the most I'M

would get a prize. The prize
offered was pumpkin pie for
all the students in the winning
homeroom.

idea at first. We thought it

she and Lynda Moss stuck a
cigarette into a pumpkins
mouth to turn it into a beat
mix. But when we started
working, it got exciting"

There were stringbeans
used for eyebrows, pumpkin
seeds for teeth and curled
black paper for long eye
lashes, red-paper tongues,

even lettuce leaves for hair.
Besides the beatnik and
clown, there were pumpkins
turned into pirates, Chinese,

just plain odd-ball types. And
