Main Events for October::


● Monday, October 4th:: School starts back for all those attending Ashwick High School, home of the Ashwick Panthers. This is also the first day at the school for the three witches. Many things are happening. Sports sign-ups, signing up for certain clubs, ect.

● Friday, October 8th:: The annual "Back To School" dance, held in the school's gymnasium. It's nothing big like the Halloween Masquerade, and never requires much decorating. However, those in Student Council are in charge of making and handing out fliers, and getting people together to do a little decorating. [A boys ask girls event, though you can go alone as long as you're a Junior or Senior.]

● Saturday, October 9th:: The town of Ashwick's Fall(Autumn) festival; an event which celebrates the towns heritage, warts and all. Carnival rides, games, and activities for the local "townsfolk." The school's drama club usually puts on a preview of the play they will perform later in the week. The football team usually runs a few booths at the festival as well: Playing games to win a prize, bobbing for apples, kissing booth, something along those lines. And as a means of lampooning the darker side of the town's history, the local committee normally sets up a ducking stool and a Haunted House attraction.

● Wednesday, October 13th:: The school's drama club puts on a performance of a play - the chosen production is "Vinegar Tom" by Caryl Churchill; a play with very strong references to the witch trials! Many of the people in the drama club do not like that their play is so close to Homecoming, because all everyone worries about is "the football game." It puts a real damper on their mood/spirit. However, the show must go on!!

● Friday, October 22nd:: The Ashwick Panther's first football game, it is also Homecoming. Their first game, like always during Homecoming, is against their biggest rival. The Blackwood Bears. During this time AHS(Ashwick High School) students are full of school spirit! They deck out in the school's colors(red and gold), and come supporting their Panthers at the game!! Students in the school's daily paper go to take pictures of the game, and get "interviews" from a couple of the star players.

● Sunday, October 31st:: The great, cherished Halloween Masquerade. Ashwick students adore this event that has been a tradition every Halloween for over thirty years. Students on Student Council start decorating a week in advance. It is also held in the large school gymnasium. It is, like always, a boys ask girls event. You cannot get in the doors without a mask on!!!
