Several children in the Pediatrics Ward of St. Joseph Hospital were treated to an early-evening Halloween party by seven Ann Arbor High School students, shown here with five of the children. The students originated the idea for the party and purchased decorations and refreshments with their own funds. The children thoroughly enjoyed the evening, Nurse Kathleen M. Merkel reported, and were grateful.

PUMP(K)IN' FOR SAFETY: Dennis Laraway's Halloween jack-o-lantern has a message - fire safety. The "fireman" is illuminated with an electric light bulb, rather than the usual candle. Dennis, nearly 2, is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Hascal Laraway of 1106 Brooks, a home at which fire safety is emphasized - Mrs. Laraway's father is Captain Donald Robbins of the Ann Arbor Fire Department.

A FEMALE JACK-O-LANTERN FACE - Mrs. Patrick Swope of 6797 Textile Rd. had that in mind when she designed this cover for the camping trailer she and her husband own. She dyed two 16-ft. bed sheets tangerine and then sewed them together. She then drew a feminine pumpkin face, complete with toothy smile, long eye lashes and curly hair framing a rotund face. The Swopes have the decorated camper displayed in their yard with a paper skeleton dangling from a short smoke stake mounted on the trailer top. (Press Photo)
