Pay phones are a means of receiving money by the phone company. Dave Fabianski helps the phone company out by using one of their facilities. ur Expenses ln this day and age of inflation, a necessity of every student is spending money. R-Bites spent their earnings on various things depending on their needs. One of the most important things a student would put his or her well-earned money down for would be clothes. The rapidly changing styles and the determin- ation of everyone to be up to the minute kept the ever growing department stores in business. All the notebooks, paper, pens, pencils and folders used in everyday school life could put quite a hole in one's pocket. Foreign language students, along with science students, were required by the departments to buy extra workbooks for labs and experiments. lf a student was involved with a sports team, he may need to buy extra equipment such as football gear, sweat suits for the track teams and the expensive speedo swim suits for swim- mers. Weekend activities such as movies, parties, and eating could run into the tens of dollars for a student. The going rate for Tickets, clothes and dinner can be very costly when attending a Turnabout Dance. a movie was 54.00. If a guy took a girl to a movie and then out for pizza, it could, and usually did, run him in for quite a lot of money. Even a meal at McDonald's cost between 52.00 and 53.00. Going out to any fast food place could make the money disappear rather quickly. The cost of a concert was anywhere from 510.00 to 512.00 depending on the band that was performing. Album fanatics would invest much of their earnings on their collection of albums. Driving a car to school and on the weekends meant spending money on costly gas which was so precious to us. Because of the gas shortage, the price of gas had gone up to and over 51.00 per gallon. ln order to pay for the things they wanted, students would work after school and on the weekends at jobs such as cashiers, sales people, bus boys, or stock boys. With the variety of job opportuni- ties open to R-B students, it was easy for us to earn the money needed for our active lives. School clothes fit prominently in Sue Schwendt's budget. EXPENSES 17
