Volume LXIV	By Edgar T. Penguin	November 2005

Campout Disaster Last month saw the last camp out of the year occurred last month, and everyone was glad to see it end. The campout spanned two nights and three days before everyone packed it up and went in mid Sunday. It poured rain for most of that time, creating large puddles so that tents had to be moved many times. There was also a lot of complaining that the hotdogs which were served for every meal were monotonous, and many arguments erupted, not to mention the wild animals which wondered up in the night! I think everyone is glad when I say that there will not be another one for a long time! Alien Trouble By Oinkers It can not escape anyone's notice that there seems to be something wrong with a certain alien in this house : Nermal. The ca has evidently gotten "broken" as you may remember a certain general Moogle once was, as Charlie says that she needs fixed. What ever the cause of this, she has become extremely noisy, and snuggly and if you are not careful you may find yourself snuggled to death before you can do anything about it! be careful, my friends, and remember that together we can defeat the alien menace!	A Harry Potter Halloween! Picture by Oinkers Halloween Party Fun The annual Halloween party went off very well, this year, with no injuries or major occurrences! This years party had Harry Potter theme, and it was mandatory to dress as a character form the books or movies. There was a lot of creativity around - from side characters to Quidditch players, to professors - there were even six versions of Harry himself! Not to mention all of the Harrys dressed as an army of dementors. There were games galore, including a scavenger hunt and trivia game, not to mention the sorting ceremony, which put each guest in one of the four houses! The food was also a magical experience, pumpkin pasties, chocolate frogs, cauldron cakes and many other legendary snacks straight from the Harry Potter universe made by Doggie, Natasha and Andy with the help of some volunteers. All together it was a great party, and here's hoping next year's will be as great!	Boat Race The last boat race of the season will be taking place the first Sunday this month on the cow pond. The competitors are Tearful Teddy, Taylor, Pigelty-Wigelty, Boo-Boo, Orange Ducky and Andrew, this will be Andrew's first race, so be sure and cheer for him extra loud! The racers are looking for volunteers to help strip the algae off the surface of the pond before they can race. if you want to help them arrive at the cow pond an hour early! Hope to see everyone at the race! Thanksgiving Coming Once again Thanksgiving is on it's way and as usual Doggie is calling for volunteers to help with the preparations. This year we will NOT be having thanksgiving with the bears next door, as Doggie says it was "Too much of a hassle". he would also like it known that he is making "the traditional menu and if anyone has a problem with it they should go next door where the cooks are more accommodating." I'm sure there won't be any objections! Lost &Found Found: A large collection of various wands left at the Halloween party. If you forgot your wand then come to Spotty to claim it.
