These images are from the Pratt Schoolhouse, once located across the street from where the Pomfret Center, Connecticut post office is today. A few of the children are ghosts and witches, there is a nurse, a cow, and a Snow White. The costumes are very unique, but I have no idea who or what many of the children intended to look like with their costumes. Help me out!
There are also a few clues around the classroom regarding what the students were studying. Nine years later the town’s new Pomfret Community School for grades K-12 was completed.

The Bennington Free Press (the only surviving campus newspaper of Bennington College) publishes “skinnys” which are basically short blurps about anything written by anyone. I found these to be especially inappropriate, and therefore decided to publish them here. Admittedly, these aren’t really very funny unless you know who violated the rules of (using) the road. These also aren’t very funny when you are an admissions intern who has to explain why there are mice in student housing. I will write more about CAPA very soon.
