Party creatures

30 October 2002 | Halloween is a always a scream at Educational Technology Services, where staff mark the holiday in style. Clockwise from cat at front center (aka Melanie Paulina) are Ezra Daily, Janet Kodish, Airdri Stoddart, Ann Juell, and Art, the 20-year-old string ball in the center.

“We don’t have full cooperation in costumes,” says Juell (the tree), “but it’s always a party atmosphere.” This year’s festivities include an office bake-off, plus the usual complement of screaming floor mats, skulls, bats, and blow-up creatures. The talking treat bowl, however, is new.
