Sybil Bruncheon's "Halloween Parties of Yesteryear... Ashtabula, Ohio - 1954...

Seen here is the party thrown by Phil and Carol Marie Fassbender for their daughter Cecily. Cecily's classmates worked very hard on their costumes and were thrilled to know there would be a contest with prizes. Seen here (from left to right) are Becky Tomkins as Dale Evans, Marvin Rorick as Satan, Kip Magster as Bugs Bunny hit by a car, Harry Stent as a drunk hit by a car, Pat Fromme as Dirty Jack the Pirate, and little Cecily herself as a Scottish Slut. Clearly, there was no adult supervision while the children made their costumes. It also wasn't clear who burned down the Fassbender's home later that evening with the exploding pumpkin.
