Anvi Banga (12) and Vani Mohindra (12) pose for a photo while dressed in Halloween costumes representing American actresses Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman, who were recently imprisoned due to the college admissions scandal. On Thursday, Oct. 31, students and faculty wore their costumes to school to celebrate Halloween. “I felt like it was kind of outrageous to go around in prison uniforms and oars, and we wanted to get a reaction out of people,” Anvi said. “Usually it took people a while to get it, but once they did, everyone found it pretty funny.” Photographers: Irina Malyugina (1); Alysa Suleiman (2-4)
