CHATTER SCHOOL DAYS OR SNOWDAYS Nov. 27 Feb. 08 Jan. 12 Feb. 13 Feb. 07 Feb. 16 THE COST OF BEING A SENIOR: Feb. 19 Feb. 20 Feb. 21 A aioe ntl IS AN EDUCATION REALLY FREE¢¢¢ With all the expenses involved are students receiv- ing a free education in there senior year? The estimated amount of money spent for a — guy in his senior year aver- ages one hundred eighty seven dollars; and for a girl, one hundred fifteen dollars. There are many costs for graduation, such as: announcements which range five dollars and up. The cap gown costs about ten dollars, and the girls must pay for their flowers which they carry at graduation. The cost for the flower is one dollar fifty cents. Senior portraits prices depend upon the amount of money each student plans to put into them. They range from thirty dollars to over one hundred dollars. Cap and Gown portraits are taken sep- arately. They cost about the same as Senior portraits. Memory books and class keys are an extra, but every senior orders one. Together they cost eleven dollars. The class dues is five dollars, and it must be paid before attending the Junior, Senior prom. The average cost of the prom for the guy is one hundred thirty dollars, which includes the tux, tickets, flowers, pictures, and gas money. For the girl, the average cost Is sixty-five dollars. Dress and shoes are included in this price. It may cost her more depending on accessories. Every year Sen- iors take a class trip. This year they went to Great Adventure. The cost for the trip was eleven dollars a person, and that’s not including spending money. Class Night costs every senior four dollars, if they’re planning to go. Sen- iors have transportation expenses to and from differ- ent activities. Such activities include, donkey basketball, graduation practice, and those listed above. In the fall when the new year begins, most seniors return to attend the yearbook dance and pur- chase their Senior Yearbook. Yearbooks cost eleven dollars plus fifty cents, if they want their name on the cover. This is their final expense. With all of these costs, education in your senior year certainly is not free. EARLY GRADUATION Faith Welch, an early gradu- ate herself, felt it was a good idea. She felt that she could go to college or work without having it interfering with high school. Tony Massimiano, a junior who is going to take early graduation thinks it's great because now he can get a full time job. Ms. Mayo, the guidance counselor felt that the program was worthwhile because now the seniors could work or attend college instead of taking courses that they did not need or want. Mr. Gregory, a teacher, felt that it was a good idea providing that the students did some- thing worthwhile with their time and did not abuse the privilege. EXAMS For the first time in history Bo Manor was subjected to two hour exams. Mr. Tenny, VP, strongly believes that exams help students. He stated that we are ‘‘going back to basics ... students should reach a certain level of proficiency.’’ Ms. Drummond, an English teacher, agrees with Mr. Tenny. ‘‘Everyone Is going to have to take a test In their life, whether it’s a test or just recalling what they have learned.”’ Lori Allen, a junior, doesn’t agree. She feels that there is not a need for them, however, it was alright when they only took up one regular class period. She also feels that it’s a hassle for the teach- ers to make up twelve hours worth of exams and then have to grade them. Actually it is the seniors who should feel sorry for the underclass since they are the ones that have to face them again next year. EXPENSES ribne Has anyone ever taken the time to look at the new sport additions to our school? There is the $4800 unused soccer or practice field outside of the fence near the football field. We have $1100 bleachers for everyone to be able to sit while watching the games. The new scoreboard which was $6800, enables us to keep track of the points of our team. Finally, there is our new gym floor. It’s the main thing that was used this year. Whether it was for gym or a game or a pep rally the floor was put to some hard use. The floor cost $70,000; though it was a bit expensive, it was a reasonable purchase for a much needed cause. SPECIAL THANKS has to go to Debbie Potts, Carol Ventora, Kim Stein, Paula Biggs and Kim Boulden for their essays. 25
