COUNTING THE COST Grandpa always said, “You get what you pay for,” and seniors learned first hand that a free education wasn’t always free, especially when it came to the costs of graduation. In addition to momentoes like memory books and class keys, that many seniors purchased, there were necessities such as graduation invitations and caps and gowns. A typical list of items for graduation and their costs might have looked like this: Senior Materials $57.00 Cap, Gown, and Tassel $10.50 Senior Pictures $75.00 Cap and Gown Pictures $15.00 College Application Fees $60.00 SAT’s and ACT’s $29.50 Prom $150.00 Graduation Vacation $300.00 AVERAGE TOTAL $697.00 Having to pay such an amount gave some seniors pause, but most in the Class of ’87 felt it was a small price to pay for the prestige and relief of being a senior. Mythical student Maty Senior’s form shows a typical order. The Josten Company furnished many of the senior materials. Anita Underwood Bus Driver.
