Sybil Bruncheon’s 31 Days of Halloween… What to wear??...

Questions for Sybil: I am always ready for Halloween. But it’s kinda hard to really enjoy in central Florida. Ya need really cool enough weather for costumes. What do you think??

Sybil: So true... and I never really feel comfortable with children Trick-or-Treating in coconut brassieres and grass skirts... it just isn't DONE!!! Perhaps it’s the lipstick and the false eyelashes! Even on the girls! Of course, when I was a child, my parents who were members of a “free-love society” dressed my twin sister Dagmar and I as Adam & Eve… in nothing but cardboard cut-out fig-leaves… (and not very big ones at that!) They had fallen on hard-times through bad investments in flavored toothpastes (caviar, escargot, sole meuniere, etc.), but my mother didn’t want Dagmar and me to “go without on Halloween”!

Sybil Bruncheon's 31 DAYS OF HALLOWEEN... Guess Who Came To The Party! #17...

The class had assembled for Halloween Day,

All the students in costumes had come!

Maurice was dressed as a gay caba-yay.

And Joe, as an old hobo bum.

Debbie decided she was a great movie star.

And Phyllis had come as a witch.

Dean was a ghost or maybe a ghoul,

He never could tell which was which.

One was a tiger, another a ham... and... um...

Sadly, no one heard the giant lizard-man-thing that came in through the back... The End

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.

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.

Sybil Bruncheon's "Halloween Parties of Yesteryear... Wauseon, Ohio - 1958...

Seen here is the Halloween party held in the home of Frank Blunt, the founder of Blunt's Aluminum Siding Repair and Replace Service on the corner of Zachary Taylor Way and Buckeye Blvd. The costumes included (from left to right) Stabbo the Clown, Mysterious Mahatma Momby, Señor Smirky, and Marion Davies. Although over 60 people had been invited, only these four guests showed up along with Perky, Edith Blunt's mix-breed chihuahua/Labrador cleverly disguised as Donald Duck. That's Edith Blunt in the lower left just seconds after she sprained her ankle roller-skating around the basement as Sonja Henie. Frank is taking the photo. With only four guests, the costume contest was canceled. Everyone went home with three pounds of candy corn... at 8:30... Perky threw up most of his...
