Hotchkiss High School students in Jamie Roeber’s art class got into the Halloween spirit by carving pumpkins. Students then voted on which were the best. The winners are (left to right) Wesley Hardin — Most Skillful Carving, Alexis Arroyo — Most Original, Megan Lenge and Timothy Hair — Best Over All, Ulises Mendoza — Scariest, Mae Anderson — Most Creative and Mariana Camacho — Best non-carved.
