A trip to the past: Crier staff and Conant faculty share Halloween throwback pictures

Halloween is here, which means a few things: decorating the house, scouring stores for candy, and most importantly, finding a top-notch Halloween costume. Nothing is more nostalgic than uncovering your old Halloween costumes and pictures, so our Crier staff and Conant faculty have taken a trip down the memory lane. Here is a compilation of throwback pictures featuring the Conant faculty and the Crier staff rocking their Halloween costumes:

“I was four years old and dressed as Wonder Woman!”

 

 

 

 

Anika Brahmbhatt, ‘23, Writer

“This was my Halloween costume when I was three years old. My mom dressed me as an angel, and I still have those wings and would use them for so many random Halloween costumes. This was a time when me and my family used to go to a lot of different Halloween parties, and I remember a lot of them vividly!”

 

Maria Ahmad, ‘23, Features editor

“This picture was taken in 2005, so I was about a year old, and I was (obviously) dressed as Minnie Mouse. My mom says I was obsessed with watching “Mickey Mouse Clubhouse” and “Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmas,” so the costume was very fitting.”

 

 

 

Ella Saputra, ‘23, Editor in Chief

“This photo was taken in 2010 when I was six years old. I was dressed as a fairy, and the wings were my favorite part of the costume at the time. When I was little, I enjoyed dressing up in a costume for Halloween because I thought it was super fun to be able to dress up as anything I wanted.”

 

 

 

Johanna Selmeczy, ‘22, Editor in Chief

“I was four years old when I decided I was going to get married. I nearly gave my dad a heart attack when I came downstairs because my mom and I hadn’t told him what I was dressed as. I remember it being itchy, especially the veil, and I wound up taking it off and having my mom put on zombie makeup to make it more “Halloween-y.””

 

 

 

John Shoro, Science teacher

“I was about 34. By the end of the school day, the makeup was itching like crazy and it took forever to get it out of my ears.”

 

 

 

 

 

Christina Schweinebraten-Melone, Math teacher

“Panda: I was three years old. I loved pandas and I would never take my costume off or my headpiece. I would sleep in it!”

 

 

 

 

 

Amanda Schweinebraten, Wellness teacher 

“Spice Girls- 10 years old. The other Mrs. Schweinebraten-Melone and I were dressed up as our favorite artists – Sporty Spice & Ginger Spice from the Spice Girls.”

 

 

 

Zia Nathan, English teacher

“This is from 5th grade when I went to my school’s Halloween party dressed as a vampire. I always tried to incorporate a cape in every costume I wore.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

James Lundquist, Social Studies teacher

“Dressed as Forrest Gump in college, 2017. (Yes, that is my real hair)”

 

 

 

 

 

Patrick Malloy, Spanish teacher

“I was a “scary” cat.  I was 3 years old.”

 

 

 

 

Michelle Diaz, Faculty Service supervisor

“Princess, Family Halloween Party, 2005- 17 years old”

 

 

 

 

Katherine Roberts, Math teacher

“In this picture I was four years old dressed as a clown. I remember my elementary school used to do a haunted trail through the hallways and also pass out candy. At the end there was a party in the gym and a big costume contest. It was the highlight of Halloween!”
