his past weekend, students donned costumes to celebrate Halloween at Abbotween and the annual Halloween dance co-hosted by Flagstaff and Pine Knoll in Borden Gym. All proceeds from the dance will be donated to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.
Daisy Tuller ‘20:
Cher from “Clueless”
I thought of my costume in seventh grade because it was the first time I saw ‘Clueless,’ and I loved [Cher’s] style… I couldn’t find any matching plaid yellow suits [online]. I decided that I would sew my own costume, so my mom and I made the matching suit and skirt.”
Martha Fenton ’83:
Cow
“Mrs. Elliott wore [the cow costume] last year, and in her absence, I am wearing it tonight. We figured we needed a cow on the corner every Abbotween. Just being a presence and keeping everyone ‘moo-ving’ across the street!”
Caroline Yun ‘18 | Fredericka Lucas ‘18 | Jess Wang ‘18:
Dixie Cups
“Since it’s our Senior year, we all wanted our last costume to be our best costume…Our favorite part about [it] is its longevity — the pattern is spectacularly jazzy and the outfit is super comfy… Also, our costume supports the sustainability of the new recyclable cups. Save the planet, one Dixie cup at a time!”

Harley Davidson Biker Gang
“So [Spencer Davis ’18] just said to me one day, ‘Hey, let’s go as a biker gang.’ We used the Printer to print some Harley Davidson t-shirts and bought some fake tattoos, bandanas, and nose rings.”

Emerson Judson ’20 | Brooke Fleming ‘20 | Kate Ervin ’20 | Sophia Esposito ’20:
Cruella de Vil and Dalmatians
“I ended up picking our idea when I saw a Cruella de Vil costume in a DIY video on YouTube… We all made the spots on our tops on our own, so that was probably my favorite part. I did mine by gluing felt spots that I cut out onto a white tube top.”
– Sophia Esposito ’20
