Therefore, physical Many activities and clubs required money for equipment and events that just wasdt in the schooYs budget. Therefore, fundraisers for activities in the school were very important. To raise the needed money, students and teachers thought of many things to sell. For the Prom budget each junior home- room needed to raise $40, and to do so they held bake sales. There usually was at least one bake sale a week at lunch. Those who didnit want to bake food for the sales were allowed to bring in a set amount of money depending on how many people were in the homeroom. Juniors and seniors who were on the prom committee sold Christmas candles to help pay for the prom. In the gyms much of the apparatus was in need of re- education classes sold wall calendars to raise money for new equipment, such as basketballs and volleyballs. The French exchange trip had the French Club bringing Gummy Bears and Twins to market strait from Europe. To make money for their various activities, the Bunny Club ped- dled MdaMs Sign Language classes and Sandi Myerst speech class tried to raise $60 for a special adapter which would connect a camera with a video recorder, This would enable the Sign Language classes to tape them- selves signing. Selling helium balloons at football games was one means to raise money for music and props for the choir. Student Life h 29

ON A TOUR OF THE BOMB BETWEEN CLASSES, Rene Cravens and Toni Walker take time to read the graffiti on the 3rd floor bathroom stall. SHELTER, Regina Herricks and Angie Allen get a look at the boilers. Behind closed doors A few rooms in the school were practically off-limits to students. These areas held a certain intrigue. There was always the mystery of the teachers' lounges. What was so special about these rooms that meant students were not allowed to enter them? Teachers usually went in the lounges to get away from students and to relax. There were couches, chairs, and tables in each one, and a couple had Coke machines. To the girls, the boys, bath- rooms and locker rooms held a special interest. What did the guys locker room look like? The boys knew what the girls locker room looked like because they went down to watch films for P. E. class. Girls also wanted to know if the guys wrote on the walls the way the girls did. Yearbook staff members investigated and dis- covered that the boys locker rooms were very much like the 30wStudent Life girls, but the guys had much better showers. As for the graffiti, there was none visible. Then there was. the bomb shelter, left over from the fifties. What did a bomb shelter look like? What was in it? The bomb shelter looks like a large base- ment, and it has about four boilers and water that has been there almost forty years. On the fourth floor is a broadcasting room that most students dontt even know about. As a matter of fact, how many even knew there was a fourth floor? Several years ago, the school had its own closed circuit television station and a radio station - WMTL. Other areas were off limits to students, but there was usually someone scheming to try to get into them. IN THE DARKROOM. Connie Gilkeson checks contact sheets for pictures that need reprinted.
