The Halloween event at the school was created to keep local children out of trouble. The previous year, some mischievous children snuck into the house of two deaf sisters and played an elaborate prank on them. The children hid all of their downstairs furniture in their cellar. The sisters woke up to find their furniture missing.
The Halloween event was held inside the auditorium of the high school in Maycomb. This event was for both parents and children to attend. Parents were able to keep a close eye on their children in the auditorium, and therefore keep them out of trouble on Halloween night.
There was also a pageant in the auditorium. The pageant was created to keep the adults entertained. Scout explained what the pageant was about:
Mrs. Grace Merriweather had composed an original pageant entitled Maycomb County: Ad Astra Per Aspera, and I was to be a ham. She thought it would be adorable if some of the children were costumed to represent the county's agricultural products: Cecil Jacobs would be dressed up to look like a cow; Agnes Boone would make a lovely butterbean, another child would be a peanut, and on down the line until Mrs. Merriweather's imagination and the supply of children were exhausted (Chapter 27).
Scout was not keen to play the role of a ham. She also did not have much of an interest in the agricultural industry in Maycomb.
