Shavertown, PA \) On October 24 Miss Norine Amesbury and the Student Council hosted the Halloween Dance for the Dallas Middle School 1997-98 school year. During this event, Mr. Daniel Flynn and his Science Club presented a. "Haunted Walkthrough” in the school’s courtyard. As the students en- tered, they were greeted by a narrator who told the story of a mad doctor and the summary of her life: “The Dallas Middle School Haunted Courtyard.” Many years ago, in the 1940's, Isabelle Monroe gradu- ated from Harvard University with a Ph.D. in medicine. She excelled at her profession, but soon began declining because of missing patients. Her occu- pation ended with complaints of unwanted surgery and pains caused by missing parts of the human body - she kept these parts as souvenirs.

Now, journey back through time and follow the course of this sick doctor. The students were then es- corted into a haunted court- yard. The first stop was a hor- rifying doctor performing sur- gery.

The students were blindfolded before feeling the “souvenirs.” A graveyard led the spooked students to a horrifying classroom scene. Mrs. Joan Rakowski repre- sented the “mad” Dr. Isabelle Monroe. Toward the end, Dr. Monroe spoke a few words and had a last laugh from her cof- fin. Written by Dallas Middle School students Elizabeth Eby and Laura Vodzak.
