Seniors soend $ Being a senior required many things, including energy, patience and money! First of all, there was the senior portrait that many students considered an absolute must, since all seniors wanted to be remembered as looking their best. Then Homecoming rolled around. Since it was the last high school homecoming for the class of 1980, apparel chosen was often elaborate, with no cost spared. After Homecoming, Senior Class meetings began where senior officers informed the class that the treasury held only $500 to cover expenses for both prom and party, and that much more had to be raised. With that goal in mind, various committees were formed, each with specific projects in mind. During the year, the seniors were aided by the Student Cabinet in sponsoring fund-raisers such as the annual M M candy sale, a Valentine’s Day Cookie sale and roller skating parties. Most of the seniors began with good intentions, but after a few days into the candy-selling campaign, most realized that they had lost money by selling the candy. How? Most found that they were their own best customer because of all the candy they had consumed. In January, some of the glamour had worn off as most students realized that by graduation day, they would be in astate of bankruptcy. And still, costs did notend there. Just around the corner were those days when graduation announcements were ordered, caps and gowns paid for, and deposits for the optional senior trip were collected. After Easter vacation, most seniors were more optimistic. Most concentrated on securing that special date for prom and shopping for dresses and tuxedos. When prom finally came, most boys found that they still had to borrow a few bucks from Dad to help cover prom tickets and dinner for their dates. By the time commencement ceremonies came, most seniors were excited and happy, not only because they finally graduated, but because they would be receiveing money and gifts instead of handing it out! 2
