The annual SLS Halloween Party forges ahead
Look not at the barren trees or the twinkling holiday lights. Turn away from the snow on the ground. Take a break, if you will, from reviewing and outlining. Join me in recalling a time when bright leaves littered the streets, when pumpkins filled shop windows, and when the air was crisp and carried a sense of mild foreboding.
I speak, of course, about the Students’ Law Society’s (SLS) Halloween party.
Witches, cowboys, knights, and zombies lined up to get into the elusive Jackman Law Building, which was utterly transformed by spooky decorations, a dancefloor, a DJ booth, two bars, and heaping bowls of snacks.
Of course, the crowning event of the evening was the annual costume contest. The competition was stiff, as prizes were generously provided by Terima: a Bevi bottle and yearlong subscription for first place, and a free snack box for second. Though there were some excellent contenders, the crowning victor was ultimately Jarren Fefer’s (2L) Lord Farquaad, with Emily Ernst’s (1L) Marie Antoinette coming in at a close second.
For those of us who attended the 2022 Halloween party, you will recall that Fefer’s Farquaad won first place last year as well. Ultra Vires asked Fefer how it felt to win two years in a row.
“I am grateful to have defended my title,” he said.
When asked about his critics who were upset that he had been awarded for the same costume two years in a row, Fefer added cryptically, “My supporters can sleep knowing they will be given the finest swamps in my fief.”
One thing was noticeably different about this year’s party—it was a lot darker. That’s because the atrium lights remained off all evening. SLS VP Social Christopher Kozak (2L) weighed in.
“Planning started in the summer and required the help of many people in the Faculty to pull off successfully,” he said. “If you see your SLS reps, please thank them for all their hard work!”
We sure will, Christopher. See you all next year!
