Fessenden celebrated Halloween in a big way this week. The holiday fell on a Monday this year, so the weekend before saw a string of Halloween related trips. The boys had a great time choosing from trips like a halloween make-up tutorial, costume shopping, haunted cornfields, and the annual favorite, Mr. Lyons “Fright Night.” The recent snow flurry did not discourage the boys from coming out in full force to celebrate Halloween all weekend and right into Monday night. As cold as it was, the boys put together great costumes and had an even
better time trick ‘o treatin’ around campus. Over 40 faculty members opened their doors and handed out candy around campus. As this tradition went on, other unheralded traditions continued as well, like Mr. Howe’s handout of choice, Cup of Noodles. The boys went back to their dorms with plenty of candy and good stories to share, many of which now look at Fessenden in a different light, thanks to Mr. Lyons stories of the haunted bygone eras of the school. As old stories are told, new ones were emerging this week, and it looks like the unexplained remained that way, seen here in Mr. Murphy’s photo from the headmasters office. Who knows what happened, but let’s hope Mr. Stettler is ok.
There were pink gorillas, super heroes, goblins, ghouls, and all the like skulking around campus Monday night. The festivities were initiated at dinner on Monday night. There was a wonderful Halloween dinner laid out for all in attendance by our own friendly Fessenden food service staff. Everyone came to dining hall in costume and ready to trick o’ treat. The boys were not the only ones in costume, the faculty came out in everything from drag to star wars.
What a great weekend and celebration of Halloween. This turned out to be a great community wide event. Fessenden families, staff, faculty, and friends came together to have fun and enjoy themselves. The gallery below has many of the photos and activities that the boys joined. Next weekend is a cultural weekend and the boys are back to their regular routine. More will be on the way, as well as exclusives on the weekday routine of Fessenden residential life. Please enjoy and comment!
