Age Makes the Difference In Tricking or Treating
BY KERRY NOHELTY

When making the change from jr. high to high school, your Halloween activities also change. No longer do you want to run out from door to door yelling, "Trick or treat!" You'd rather be going out giving out the tricks than receiving the treats.

From your early years in grade school up until eighth grade, a month before Halloween is even thought about, you were figuring out what your costume would be, what neighborhoods you would go to, and what friends you would go with.

 Then Halloween finally came, you would rush home from school, get your costume and make-up on, grab your candy bag and dash out of the house as your mother yelled behind you, "Don't eat any of your candy before you get home!" Of course, you didn't hear her. You would go to every house in sight yelling "Trick or Treat," filling your bag to the very top with different kinds of candy and gum. You would return home an hour or so later, but not because you were tired.

As you can see, Halloween time is much different in your high school years than in grade school. You don't get all the yummy goodies that you used to get, but you can always steal some of your younger brothers' and sisters'. And then you eagerly wait till next Halloween to do it all again.
