The varied remedies included bake sales, car-washes, and anything else classified as saleable. Student Council led the great purchase path with anything imaginable. As a whole unit, they ran the school store. In need of pens, pencils, paper or pretzels? See them. Also included in the inventory were buttons, bookcovers, bumper stickers, and much more. Prices ranged from 54: to 31.00 per item. Senior Council not only needed money to get ahead, they needed it to break even! The first fund-raiser was a pizza party at Mr. Gatti's, where everyone enjoyed good fun and food. With 340.00 in a small account, the great Senior T- Shirt push began. At 355.75 apiece, the Class of '80 was bustin' out all over. Christmas Candygrams raised holiday feelings for friends and lovers, each one containing a special message for a lucky someone. Their final fund-raiser involved putting on a dance for Sabinjr. High, The year's worth of profits was sunk into Afterprom at Homer's Odyssey, and as end-of-the-year gift to Doherty from the Senior Class. junior Council went into action from day one to raise funds for Prom, Held at the Four Seasons, a lot of bake sales contributed to this. The juniors also sold Spartan Pride buttons for a quarter apiece, Booster Buddies at varying prices, and Spirit Sticks for 31.00 each. A special attraction brought Santa Claus to homes and parties everywhere, for a small fee, of course. Santa Express and all, Prom was well worth ir. Sophomore Council held bake sales galore, both at the school and at the Mall of the Bluffs. They chipped in with the jr. Class to sell carnations for Valentine's Day at 50:1 a shot. The craziest items going this year were giant coloring books. For 33.75, you could spend an afternoon with Spider-Man, Rudolph- The Red- Nosed Reindeer, or another favorite character. The profits were used toward bills and expenses, and general fund. 190 Seniors

5? l, The Cheerleaders and Pom-Pons entered the money raising category with several things. Early in the year, they tried a soft-soap on schoolmates with a variety of shampoos. For 52.50 a bottle, the guaranteed students that soon their hair would look just like that of any varsity team member's. Maybe that's why a Carwash brought around so many dirty cars and 5180 profit. All of the money from this and sports programs went toward camp, new uniforms, and spirit boxes. D.E.C.A. kept busy supplying something for everyone. They held a Christmas Wrap at the Mall of the Bluffs, and sold planning calendars and phone-book covers to teachers everywhere! Their last efforts involved running the Concessions stand during school hours. Prices on junk food ranged from 20-40qt, and business was brisk. The band outdid all expections in profit gathering. An Arts and Crafts Bazaar as well as the Christmas Wrap in the Bluffs proved extremely successful. Twelve hundred dollars from the bazaar and eight hundred from the gift wrap provided a nice little nest egg. Other projects included the annual gtapefruitforange sale, which drove neighbors, teachers, and counselors bananas. At a profit margin of 81400, no wonder it's an annual event, This year's hottest new item was floating candles, bringing in a mere 51800, All profits were used for new instruments, band camp and trips, and miscellaneous expenses. F.B.L.A. joined D.E.C.A. for calendar sales and operating concessions. They did strike out on their own with a successful Carmel Apple sale in time for Halloween! The choirs joined the rat-race with costume jewelry and X-Mas ornaments up for grabs. Mr. Ellis was ready to take his groups to Mexico for concerts, and the profits sure helped. Gummi Bears were back! German Club sponsored ro ever popular little candies for 456 a package. If anything ever replaced gum, this group was ready. The French Club's big money raiser was the annual bazaarfluncheon. Students feasted on cream puffs and French cuisine while browsing for T-shirts and White Elephants. All in all, students, parents and teachers supported Doherty from one group to the other. With a tightening school budget, more and more clubs are going to hit the streets. The old cliche is already changing to, Sorry, I gave at school, O,K. Spartans, hide your wallets! Seniors 191
