Greasers and Ghosts and Comics, Oh My!
By Ashley Renteria
On Wednesday October 28th, Taft College’s ASB held a costume contest in the quad at noon. Students and faculty were encouraged to dress up and join in the festivities. Several members of the faculty dressed up with some friends for a themed group while some flew solo and entered the contest themselves.
Three costume groups showed up in impressive costumes and makeup of Batman and friends, Ghostbusters and the Pink Ladies and T- Birds from Grease.

Music was playing and contestants were laughing and interacting while the judges made their tough decision of who the group and individual winners would be.
Beetlejuice was the individual winner of the costume contest and won a goodie bag with a gift card while the greasers from Grease won the group portion of the contest. They won a gift basket filled with goodies.
