In the Money What, money doesn't grow on trees? If you were a student this year, you probably wished it had. Between the year-around fundraisers and everyday lunch money, library fines etc. you could have put yourself through college twice. But what do you do? lf you have ever been in any organization then you know that it is the on- ly means of paying national dues, buying group t-shirts, and financing projects and parties. Fun- draising also teaches important Iite skills such as the pitfalls of credit and spending in negative numbers and the balancing and handling of cash. So whether you've stayed after school selling stuff or have had to carry around five pound boxes of candy, you know there's quite an art to selling. Besides, how could you resist the many tantaliz- ing items that were offered this year. How could you resist the smell of popcorn that awoke your taste buds in seventh period? How about those spirit balloons or those pretty carnations which could say just the right things to a special friend, on a Pep Assembly day. Not only were you sup- porting a worthy organization, but showing spirit as well, Lest we forget the tons of candy consumed by students. Snickers, M8M's, Gummy Bears and X 26 STUDENT LIFE starburst were among the munchies helping organizations pull through. Then there was the ever popular posters and calendars which reminded us of the fundraiser dates of OUR organization, Was the money worth it? If you tally the cost of your time spent during and after school did it profit you to join a group? lt may be difficult to assess in terms of actual cash, but there's no doubt that such a genuine investment offers a tremendous return. Fundraisers are really necessary but carrying all that stuff around with you to class is really a drag Laura Walsh fm ,V., A .ik L--... .2 le A Y-Teen members Kim Laney and Tammy Utley lake Misty King's vote for the Turkey of the Year.

'Tis the Season Those of us who were dreaming of a White Christmas were disappointed this year, but most of Sunset's student body were kept loo busy to notice. The Student Council began a massive drive to collect canned goods for the needy, as did several other organizations. Three of Ms. Giese's gym classes donated lOO'Xi to the cause for needy families at home and abroad at Christmas. The NHS supported their own cause by selling Christmas cards at 250 apiece, and the Stampede Staff God bless us, every one! Tiny Tim airc 'Y . .

If l A Mr. Galvan's door was decorated with Christmas cards. 28 STUDENT LIFE sold Mistletoe Notes in which students in- cluded a short message or Christmas greeting to a loved one in the school newspaper. The art department decked the halls with a Christmas train, adding to everyone's Yuletide spirit, and the Stu- dent Council provided a Santa, on whose lap good little girls and boys could have their pictures taken asking for their Christmas wish. As the Twelve Days of Christmas wound down and students prepared for a well-deserved winter vaca- tion, the choir had its annual Christmas program, one of the six assemblies al- lowed this year. The teachers had a Christmas breakfast the day before the holidays began, and the band played Christmas mood music during all three lunches, allowing some teachers a chance to try their hand at directing. As a final send off, the A Cappella Choir caroled in the hallways during seventh period, and with the ring of the 4:00 bell, the winter holidays officially began.
