EDITORS COMMENTS
In this delightful vintage photograph captured in October 1953, we are transported back to a time when Halloween celebrations were filled with innocent joy and simple pleasures. The image showcases a group of children eagerly participating in an amusing game at a party organized by the Northumberland and Durham Caledonian Society in Newcastle's Durant Hall. The focal point of the picture is undoubtedly the apple suspended on a string, challenging these young ones to catch it with their mouths alone. As evidenced by their beaming smiles and laughter, it becomes apparent that this task is no easy feat. However, their determination shines through as they embrace the challenge wholeheartedly. Dressed in traditional costumes adorned with tartan patterns, these children embody the spirit of customs and traditions associated with Halloween festivities during the 1950s. Their attire adds an extra layer of charm to an already enchanting scene. This snapshot from yesteryears serves as a gentle reminder that happiness can often be found in life's simplest moments.
