To help make this grand announcement. Balfour was chosen to handle the ordering of === invitations. The seniors, as a whole, chose the Class of 84” design to decorate the front of the invitations. Balfour offered various package deals, although most seniors did not order them, but rather itemized their orders. Senior Karen Bogle stated that The package deals were okay, but they were basically the same price as when you itemized. The only difference between the two was that with itemizing you got exactly what you want. Not many were too overly fond of the memory books. As senior Martha Mclntyr said. The books were a little too tacky, not t mention kind of poor quality. The memory books did fulfill th minimal requirements. Most seniors chose t use their own creative titles to make the boo more interesting, rather than sticking to th dull boring ones given. When asked why one would sen hundreds of invitations to all relatives (eve on other coasts) and friends, not to mentio bosses, most replied to let them know that h or she was through with his 12 long years c education and that a congratulatory gift is i order. Senior Diana Dominguez said. It he been 12 years of my life that were taken up b school, now I need encouragement (gifts) t continue my four more years. -Melanie Slap Seniors Belinda Holmes. Brenda Johnson and Audrey Gunter all anxiously await the total amount of money that each spent on senior invitations. Photo by K. Hundt 348 Seniors
