Sybil Bruncheon's "Halloween Parties of Yesteryear... Waterville, Ohio - 1961...

Seen here is Henry Parkilton at his home at 1245 Friendly Farms Road. Henry always preferred clown costumes at Halloween time, especially when he was going to a really great party like the ones Myer Wasserstrom's parents would throw. Last year he came as Emmett Kelly, but too many of the children just thought he was some hobo from Cankur Corners down by the railroad tracks. So this year he asked his parents to buy him a really good Bozo the Clown costume... at Stynkleton's Department store! And Henry added some of his Mom's make-up to the mask. No "hobo" for him this year. He couldn't wait to show Myer!... and see what make-up Myer had put on Casper the Friendly Ghost's face.
