Mausoleum Party Revived

02.11.09

Despite several last-minute changes caused by the makeshift budget, most people seemed excited just to be there, flailing costumed arms and shaking hips in a treasured Stanford tradition.

Costumes both crazy and conventional filled the lot before the Mausoleum. Stanford students worked in cultural references, creative design and much of the risqué Halloween attire that teenagers everywhere have to come to expect and love.

Several boys wore a sled all together as the Jamaican bobsled team from “Cool Runnings,” sliding past Vendetta V’s, Risky Business boys in underwear and pirates, of the Caribbean and elsewhere.

One Asian girl cleared a path with a paper mache lizard tied to her back – she was “running from Godzilla.”

As might be expected at Stanford, computer-related costumes drew in a multitude of students. Several groups of Mario Brothers characters ran around the party, including six sophomores from Castano who sewed much of their costumes from scratch.
