The Cost 0 Class Dealing with the unbelievable costs of their senior year, seniors dug deep into their pockets. veryone thinks being a sen- ior is about the greatest thing that could happen to a person, until they see the bill. From test taking to graduation seniors must periodically pay for the coveted status of being a senior. Preparing to go to college can be al- most as expensive as really going to col- lege. Many tests are taken each year by students such as ACT and SAT, hoping to be lucky enough to receive an accep- tance by a particular college. These tests may cost from five to twelve dol- lars, with no guarantee of getting their moneyis worth. The prom poses more of a financial problem for the guys. Not only having to worry about a tux that costs any- where from S50 to 3150, but also gas, dinner, and a corsage for their favorite girl who probably spends about S130 on a dress. Graduation is perhaps the most ex- pensive aspect of being a senior. The total cost to participate in this momen- tous event can be as high as 33600. Sen- iors start paying for graduation their junior year by purchasing a class ring. Over the summer they buy senior pic- tures to send to all of their friends and relatives. Throughout the school year they purchase invitations and their cap and gown. Being a senior is an expensive exper- ience. No wonder seniors throw their caps in celebration of a temporary rest for their bank account. lv ? ,'V . K I f.rif rrtt - . i 'r-. ' . 4 A g - 4 W , 4 ' , r... ' A J .. , ,.., ------ xf.. if i .
