OFFICELINK.

POSTED TO: [ TWO BELLES DANCE HALL ]
POSTER: [ VALERIA GARDNER ]
DATE: OCTOBER 31, 1954 [13:00]
SUBJECT: HALLOWEEN COSTUMES

If you're working tonight, please remember to wear a costume. If you're not working tonight, you should stop by anyway - in costume! It doesn't need to be anything extravagant. As long as it's a step above throwing a bedsheet over your head, something simple will work just fine.

And since I have to say this every year: no, you aren't allowed to come as yourself. Go get a costume.
