POPPING OUT OF A PUMPKIN? No, but Susan Weil appears to be. But the first grader at Coral Gables Elementary School is tooting a happy tune on her trumpet. The Oct. 26 Halloween carnival, the 35th in the school's 38-year history, is coming. Dressed in the roaring '20's outfit she'll wear in a parade that day, little Susan is trying to tell the public that it too can have a tootin' good time if it comes to the festive affair. A parade of children in costumes will kick-off the carnival in the auditorium at 2 p.m. Games to delight every child will be waiting outside on the playground. And to top off the day's gala activities, there'll be a spaghetti dinner at 5 p.m. and a talent show at 8 p.m.
