Chuck Summers, whose mellow voice just finished singing “Blue Moon,” invites Anna Mae Spallinger to take a bow...and she does.

During his singing, Anna Mae exited her chair, walked to the front, and began to dance along to his singing the 1934 ballad, pleasing the 50 Vancrest residents who came to hear Chuck sing and play the sax.

Sommers appeared at Vancrest for the first time on Wednesday performing old songs, gospel, and toe-tapping music.

The trick or treat event at ONU on Tuesday evening drew an estimated 500 Halloweeners and their parents to campus.

After registering in McIntosh Center, the children were led in small groups to the residence halls to collect candy before returning to McIntosh for a dinner and costume contest.

The popular annual event is coordinated by the Office of Residence Life with the dinner provided by Sodexo dining service.

As the evening wound down, a full, orange moon arose on the eastern horizon, a beautiful conclusion to this year’s campus trick or treat held in shirtsleeve weather.
