The following was taken from the New Castle News, November 1, 1935 edition: Hallowe'en Event On South Side is Huge Success Estimate 10,000 Share in Anual Celebration Of October 31 Many Mummers Awarded Prizes Ideal Weather Aids In Making Program Most Notable Of Years Echoes of laughter and gaiety resounded throughout the South Side district as more than 10,000 persons gathered last night for the annual South Side Hallowe'en celebration and parade. The affair was easily the biggest and most successful event of its kind sponsored by the South Side merchants. With ideal weather prevailing, as early as 6:30 o'clock the crowd of spectators and mummers commenced to swarm in the South Side. From taht time until late in the evening, merriment was supreme. Headed by Grand Marshal Ivor V. Davis, the parade moved out from the corner of Hamilton street and East Long avenue at 7:40 o'clock. A contingent of enthusiastic South Side merchants, all carrying bright flares, followed the grand marshal. The splendid senior high school band was next in order followed by scores of mummers who were attired in every imaginable creation. The Croton band, more masqueraders and dozens of automobiles and trucks completed the procession. The bands blared out appropriate musical selections which met with the approval of the throng. >From East Long avenue the parade wended its way towards South Mill street, then to East Home street. From this point, the marchers went down Moravia street and up to East Long avenue, past the Lincoln and Garfield school house where Councilman D. O. Davies and the remainder of the judges selected the winners. More than 125 prizes were awarded. Award Prizes At 138 East Long avenue, where the prizes were distributed, the large corwd congregated to get a glimpse of the winners. Attractive Miss Betty Ward of 405 Vine street attired as Mae West, won first prize. The judges faced a difficult task in giving out the prizes. If you didn't get a prize, it was because there weren't enough awards to go around. To make a long story short, the show was not only a marked success but one of the most elaborate spectacles staged in the city in years. Orchids to General Chairman Maurice Markley and his enthusiastic committees. Chief John Haven and his men took care of the traffic end of the show. Two cruiser cars preceded the parade, telling the crowd to clear the cartway. List of Winners.
