Wandering in the darkness King of witches’ night Warrior of midnight “What’s this?” Finding traditions beyond his world “What does it mean?” “What does it mean?” Wondering in the darkness Glooming with curiosity Pumpkins bow beneath him But he wishes they where candy canes Wondering in the darkness Warrior of midnight Warrior of dawn by Ryan 
October 31st Candles on the doorstep Costumes knocking at the doors Pumpkins leering from the walls Ghosts and ghouls in the streets Pumpkins glaring and glowing from the wall Chosen and carved Gutted and painted Stuffed with candles Jack o’ lanterns

CRACK! The last vine holding the pumpkin to the side of the hill snapped apart. The pumpkin rolled and bounced down the hill and landed in a pond. A fisherman was using a net to catch fish, and caught the pumpkin instead. When the fisherman saw what he had caught, he picked the pumpkin up and threw it into a bush. The pumpkin sat there for weeks while birds pecked at its stem. Then, a black cat ran up to the bush and peeked in. When it saw the pumpkin, it swatted it all the way back to its owner’s house. When the cat walked in with its prize, the owner picked up the pumpkin and began to think. The owner put the pumpkin on a stone counter and started to carve a face. The seeds that were taken out got planted in the garden for next year. On October 31st, there was a Jack o’ lantern sitting outside of their house. The cat sat next to the Jack o’ lantern as the children in costumes stared at them and then lost interest and drifted towards the house.  IWI BIRD

Unique Kiwi Invasion
Kiwi Finds a Home The box shuddered as the kiwi woke up and started moving around. The kiwi was shocked to see slow giants walking around it. It could not see because the sun was shining throughout the room. CRASH! A giant had crashed into a sign labeled “kiwis” and had knocked the hairy things across the floor. The kiwi cautiously walked up to one and noticed it looked like another kiwi. “Mama?” it asked. The kiwi nudged it with its foot and asked, “Mama?” again. The kiwi pecked the fruit and the fruit fell apart. A giant reached down to pick the kiwis up and put them into boxes. The giant looked away to talk to another giant and accidentally picked up the kiwi and put him in the crate. The box started to vibrate slowly at first, and then faster. The kiwi felt nauseous and fell asleep. When the kiwi woke up, it was night and it was lying with the fruit on a stone slab. Giants started to pick up the fruit and put them on to plates and walked off with them. One giant picked up the kiwi, and the kiwi pecked its arm. The giant screamed and threw the kiwi out of the window. Luckily, the kiwi landed in a huge lake. Giants were walking away from it and into a wooden hut. There were colorful things floating in the water. The kiwi pecked one of them and was knocked over from the air coming out of it. The kiwi swam back to it and climbed on. The kiwi used its beak to paddle to the edge of the lake. The kiwi then jumped on to the edge and slipped off onto the ground. All of a sudden, it started to rain. The kiwi ran towards the bushes and huddled under them. Under the bushes, the kiwi slipped into a hole in the ground with bushes covering it. There was food coming out of the walls. The kiwi huddled down into the hole and made the hole its home.

Llamas There there… Do we know? Their magnificent… Do we know? They’re helpful… Do we know? They carry things… We know…
It was a calm day as the llama did its job in guiding the handicapped. They were walking through the streets of town, and then the llama noticed a steep hill, a danger to a boy in a wheel chair. The boy, too, had noticed this hill and had also noticed that at the end of the excessive hill was another road intersection. At the rear of this busy car rodeo was a play ground, but not even this caught the boy’s attention. The boy with his own two hands moved its wheels onto the highly elevated hill. He flew through the sidewalk at speeds his legs could never take him. The llama with its caring mind glided across the sidewalk in a seemingly worthless attempt to halt the boy – it seemed impossible for the llama. Its superior eyesight, however, let it see that the boy was nearing a big rock waiting in his path. The day was saved…but the speeding handicapped boy kept on moving and crashed into the llama. Now on the ground, it saw the boy speeding even faster down the slopped hill about to make a quick stop right into traffic. The lama lying with no more energy saw the boy going towards his… The llama closed its eyes and gave himself a quick second to think. The boy sped at even greater speeds and went faster and faster towards the street, which in front of him in an instance. He was close enough to smell the gas of the fast cars! Faster… And faster… CLANK!
The boy was stopped as the llama shoved its leg into the boy’s wheel. And the traffic screeched to a halt stopped. Shaken, but well, the boy went ahead into the park and saw a pink leaf in the tree. He reached forward and forward to obtain it, but it was useless. He reached up one last time and got, it was in his hand and it was beautiful. The boy felt strange, he looked down… He was standing up.

By Franton Harry Houdini The all-famous Harry Houdini was actually born as Ehrich Weiss on March 24, 1874 in Budopest, Hungary. It was only when he was at the age of four years old, did he come to America. Although he was amazed by a Dr. Lynn (a traveling magician) when he was young, Houdini actually didn’t really look into magic when he was young, but when he got to the teens, he started to get into it. His family was very poor, and he even begged for money at one point in time when he was young. At the age of 17, Houdini gave up factory work to magic. The name “Houdini” actually came from Jean Eugene Robert-Houdin, who was the most famous magician at the time, while the name “Harry” is just the American version of his childhood nickname, Ehrie. Houdini first worked with Jack Hayman, and then his brother, Theodore (a.k.a. Hardeen), and the pairs were known as the “Houdini Brothers”. Not too long after Harry started to use his brother as a partner, he met and married Wilhelmina Beatrice (Bess) Rahner, who replaced Theodore as a partner on stage. When he married Bess, he was twenty years old. Houdini’s first five years didn’t go too well, and he even tried selling all of the secrets and magic for twenty dollars in a newspaper! His best trick was the Hindoo Needle Trick, where he would swallow needles, then regurgitate then back up threaded, and even this he had bought. Not too long after Houdini had met Bess, manager Martin Beck becomes interested in him, and puts him in the Orpheum Vaudeville Circuit. Soon, Houdini is at the top of the circuit, so Martin puts him on a tour to Europe. In Europe, He challenged police officers to shackle him and lock him up, but he always escaped. Thus is how he became known as the “Handcuff King”. But in his success, other people imitated him and the handcuff act soon afterwards became less popular. In 1904, Houdini was challenged by the London Daily Mirror newspaper to escape from a pair of handcuffs that took the locksmith Nathaniel Hart 5 years to make. Houdini accepted the challenge on March 17 of that year. At the Hippodrome theater where it was held, 4000 people were recorded to have come, along with 100 journalists. The escape took more than one hour, and Houdini even asked that the handcuffs be removed, so he would be able to take off his coat, but Frank Parker, the Mirror representative, said it would be unfair if he was allowed to see how the handcuffs were unlocked, so Houdini took out a knife and cut the coat from his body. In the end, he managed to escape, but people today think that he somehow managed to get the key. Some theories are that his wife begged for the key and either got it to him through a cup of water, or even a kiss! Then next trick Houdini added to the show was the Milk Can Escape, which he started to perform in 1908. In this act, he was sealed up in an over-sized metal milk can filled with water and was wearing handcuffs. During the escape, Houdini had the audience hold their breath with him while he escaped. He made this escape behind a curtain to hide how he escaped. Later, he added a locked wooden chest around the milk can. Often on the posters advertising this performance was the statement: “Failure means a drowning death”, which made the escape all the more exciting. Houdini only performed this act as the main part for four years, although his brother, Hardeen continued to perform it into the 1940s. Also, while Houdini introduced the Milk Can Escape, he expanded his challenge escape act, which was where he invited the audience to create contraptions to hold him. These included nailed packing crates, riveted boilers, wet-sheets, mailbags, and even the belly of a whale that washed ashore! One time, the local brewers challenged him to do the Milk Can Escape, except the milk can would be filled with beer instead of water. Since he had never drunken alcoholics before, he was not used to the affects of the beer and had to be pulled to safety by his assistants. After that came the Chinese Water Torture Cell, which he started in 1912 because of the many imitators of the Milk Can Escape. In this escape, his feet would be locked in stocks, and he would be lowered upside-down into a tank filled with water. This tank had a glass front, so that the audience could see him. The cell was made out of mahogany and metal. Like the Milk Can Escape, he did this escape from behind a curtain for the same reason. In a later version, Houdini added a metal cage which he was in which was then placed in the cell. Although the advertisements clamed that it was called the Chinese Water Torture Cell, Houdini himself called it the Up-side Down, or the U.S.D. Houdini was a collector. He collected many objects, including locks, magic memorabilia, autographs, and a lot of books. Eventually, he even had so many books that he hired a full-time librarian to keep track of them. Also, in 1909, he became very interested in flight. He bought a plane and even learned to drive a car just to get to the airport faster! In 1910, he became the first person to fly to Australia. Surprisingly, after this famous flight, he forgot about flight. In 1926, Houdini started to perform a new show, which included all of his most famous acts. Then, a little while later, his wife was found to have food poisoning. Houdini stayed up all night with his wife. By the time they got to where Houdini would perform next (which was Albany), he had gone three nights without sleep. To make things worse, during the show in Albany, he twisted his ankle while being lowered into the Chinese Water Torture Cell. He refused medical care and threw disregard to the doctor’s advice that he should stay off of his feet. Later, at a lecture at McGill University, he invited a student to meet him backstage after his performance. While chatting with students, a recreational boxer asked to test him on his ability to withstand blows. Even in his injured state, Houdini allowed him to punch him. Right when he was getting off of the sofa, the student punched him in the stomach three times. Later that day, the pain got worse. On the next day, he still performed two shows. When they arrived at their next destination, Houdini finally agreed to see a doctor, but refused to go to the hospital like the doctor had told him to do immediately. Houdini’s temperature was 102o Fahrenheit. That night, he still performed, and after the show, he agreed to go to the hospital. There, the doctors found that he had a burst appendix. This had caused peritonitis, and was fatal because there weren’t antibiotics back then. Houdini had surgery, but had little chance of surviving. His wife (with food poisoning) came to that hospital. At Houdini’s death in the afternoon of October 31, 1926, Theo was by his brother’s side when he died. Houdini’s last words were: “I’m tired of fighting…I guess this thing is going to get me.” Directory: Schools Schools -> March 18, 2016 Cloud 901 Showcase and Game Day Schools -> April 7, 2016 Theatre Schools -> Census in Schools and the 2010 Census – What’s Next?
