Striving to Be Truly Different 1 I ou want to meet when? This was a familiar question uttered by the Senior Style Council who began their meetings bright, sometimes, yet always early, at 6:30 in the morning. According to Sylvia Cheung, The Senior Style Council is a group of dedicated seniors who plan all their senior activities. These activities includ- ed buy-a-senior day, the Halloween mas- querade ball, senior fun week, and all graduation activities. The Style Council included a variety of individuals chosen by teachers who had had those students in their classes and felt they would be responsible and repre- CT sent the senior class well. ' Because the Senior Style Council came from all walks of life, their ideas came together to make the year fun for all seniors, and underclassmen as well. The students had to be dedicated and work hard, said Julie Hahm, senior class president. The Senior Style Council worked along side of Julie and the rest of the senior class officers, under the super- vision of Ms. Tobar and Ms. Tucker, class of '88 advisors. The Council planned activities not only for seniors, but for underclassmen as well. The Halloween masquerade ball was an example of this. The dance was open to all students, although there was a me ,. L--- . discount for seniors. Not only did the Senior Style Coun- cil strive to make the year for the class of '88 fun, but different as well. Many new ideas were brought up and executed by the Senior Style Council. For example, activities such as buy-a-senior day and senior fun week made this year different than any other.

Y The Color of Money ' --1 -- - 1 fr! W i gf-1 551. fter waiting 15 minutes in the lunch line, Sam Senior had finally reached the front of the line. Eagerly, he sputtered his order, almost smelling his lunch. As he reached in his pocket to retrieve money, he discovered his wallet was nowhere to be found. What to do? This situation happened to many seniors. Seniors had to solve these problems smoothly and cooly, to retain their social status at Diamond Bar High School. Being an active and involved senior meant having to spend large amounts of money, at least 515.00 every week. Things that seniors bought ranged from prom tickets to Friday night football game tickets. Seniors had to buy many things to become acceptable and impressive to the underclassmen. Seniors bought prom bids alongs with homecoming tickets which totalled around 5130. Senior portraits and registration fees were paid before school even started. The average amount for a senior portrait was S150 while registration cost around 340. Then there was the item that made all seniors proud, the wildly desired Senior Seducktion T-Shirts which cost 5 10. Other options to spend money included the senior cruise, approximately S500. Another claim on cash was college related fees. Many seniors had to take college entrance tests such as the SAT, ACT, and Achievement Tests which cost around S70 total. Many seniors, though, took each test twice to improve their Q r score. College Applications were also very expensive. The ' 1 University of California applications cost S35 and S20 for Af U gf, each additional campus. The average cost for applications , f totalled around S200. - - .1 To obtain the astronomical figures needed to fund the Q H last year of high school, many seniors had to find a job at A local markets or fast food chains.
