SMALL FORTUN ES: Since money makes the world go round, it followed that WHS students would need it for one reason or another this year. Whether for a club, a worthy cause, or for themselves, students were always out to make a buck. Unless funded by the Board of Education, clubs had to devise their own methods to raise mon- ey. For the band and orchestra, it was their traditional fruit sale that raked in the money neces- sary for their trip to Canada. For the F.B.L.A., the sale of spirit links during Spirit Week raised five hundred dollars, half of which went to the senior class for buying the most links, and one quarter to the March of Dimes. The rest went towards the cost of their participation in the national F.B.L.A. convention. For the Yearbook staff, showing several movies, including Monty Python and the Holy Grail and the three dimensional Creature From the Black Lagoon, helped meet the monumental cost of producing a Yearbook. Finally, the Hockey Club, to buy their time on ice, sold tickets for a trip to Bermuda, held a raffle, and sold pencils. And WHS students also pooled their fund-raising efforts to bene- fit an international cause. Initiat- ed by the New Students Club, the Cambodian Relief Drive at- tracted the attention of many stu- dents. In one day, Weston High School students and faculty raised more than four hundred dollars by fasting during lunch. Many students tried to make an extra dollar outside of school, as well. Some students remained in The snack bar is used by all the classes and clubs as a fundraiser. At the Powderpuff dance, Juniors Cindy Kaplan and Ellen Freedman help their class raise money by selling Mark McCarthy cookies.

Other students flocked to Westport, Wilton, and Norwalk to serve a sundae or type. Others, opting for complete independence and freedom, be- came their own bosses in small private businesses - including lawn care and tree felling ser- vices. No matter what they did, how- ever, students always found a way to use their profits. Many saved for exchange trips to Ven- ezuela or France, a car, phone bills or their college education. Still, some wished to fill extra hours after school and on week- ends or to merel stash away a few bucks for a rainy day. In general, students were rewarded by their employment.
