Parents inquire about graduation expenses There's a time in everyone's life when they graduate from either pre-school, grade school, high school or col- lege. Graduation is a time to look toward the future, to accept new challenges. On June 11, 1981 at 8:00 p.m. Thornwood's class of 1981 graduated. In the mad rush to finish up last minute details, there was one question many parents posed: How much will all of this cost? When asked prior to graduation how much money she would spend on graduation, Sue Gio- vingo replied, On of the average I will probably spend two hundred to two hundred and fifty dollars total, with a party and pictures and all. Another student ex- claimed, I'll probably spend about three hundred dol- lars on graduation. Commencement costs grow higher and higher every year. Where does all the money go? This year a cap and gown cost over seven dollars, and graduation announcements were purchased at an aver- age cost of thirty-two dollars. Appropriate attire for the big event meant fifty to one hundred dollars for a new outfit. When senior Diane Callen was questioned about all the money she was spending, she explained, I feel it's all worth it because you only graduate once in your life from high school. In spite of all the cost, there was a great deal of financial return for many graduates. With the money received for graduation many seniors bought new cars, put the money in savings accounts, or used it toward their college expenses. As Lori Walsh ex- plained, I want to get as much money together to pay for college even though I'd like a car . After all the hoopla, with the fieldhouse empty and dark, left only with abandoned film packages, kleenex used to wipe the tears away, and the stale smell of the once-crowded gym, one very important thing was not left behind - the memories of that special evening in June of 1981.
