On Oct. 28, the Halloween party, Frankenbein, will be held at 8:30 p.m. in the Larder Courtyard. This will be the second year Lambein has hosted Frankenbein, which was previously hosted by Shenawana.
Junior Hannah Sturdivant, a member of the Campus Activities Board (CAB), said “Frankenbein is an attempt to continue the old Shenawana tradition of Shenoween. To keep its good reputation alive there is a substantial amount of work that needs to be done. It is a group effort to even attempt to meet the expectations and standards that have been set by past years.”
CAB is putting on this Halloween spooky night; a haunted trail and a party with a dance floor, costume contest and pumpkin painting.
Sturdivant stated, “It took a lot of theatrics and people willing to battle the cold to scare people for the ambiance of the haunted trail.”
Strudivant hoped that people would enjoy the trail, because it was really fun to figure out.
“I dressed up as a jellyfish last year and I won second place in the costume contest. It was very cool to see the costumes everyone came up with and share such a fun night, so I’m really looking forward to this year’s event!” Junior Marjorie Gassler wrote.
The costume party was a hit last year and promises to be just as popular this year. Prizes are awarded for placing in the costume contest.
Senior Joey Schunemann, the Head of CAB, who is spearheading the event said, “The prizes for the costume contest remain a secret until the night of, although they are certain to be fun.”
While Frankenbein is a newer tradition for Lambein, they are working hard to make it their own.
“I’m very excited for this year’s event and how it brings back slightly more of the old Shenoween party vibe, pouring more into that than last year’s haunted trail,” Schunemann said.
“It is a group effort to even attempt to meet the expectations and standards that have been set by past years,” Sturdivant commented. “On behalf of CAB, I would like to thank anyone that has put any amount of time and effort into helping Frankenbein run smoothly. Past or present, you are helping form the college experience for those who have attended.”
Look forward to this weekend’s activities, and prepare your treats (or tricks). ★
