With two separate campuses, five- minute passing periods, and a 25-min- ute lunch as obstacles to seeing your friends for any length of time, school dances were one of the few times that you could visit with friends and hope- fully improve your social life. I thought the dances were a great way to see your friends after the foot- ball games, said junior Jason Black. PTA tried something new by hold- ing a dance after every home football game. The Homecoming Dance was the only formal dance besides prom and was again put on by the student coun- cil. The yearbook staff's Morp Dance was highlighted by the crowning of All Night!

Most people think of graduation as a time to say goodbye and move on. But seniors soon realized that getting to that final farewell wasn't cheap as they shelled out big bucks for the ne- cessities of graduation and for the tra- ditional items that go along with being a senior. ln order to pay for everything l needed. I had to work and earn some money, said senior Carl Nordstrom. The first cost for seniors came in their junior year with the purchase of senior rings at an average cost of 5175. During the summer before their sen- ior year, students were out around S200 for their senior pictures. Most seniors wanted to attend the prom in their last year of high school AT ATTENTION. Michelle Cook, Jamie Cox, Kevin Davis, and Shelly Delles walt patiently to receive their diplomas. 245 student life Pay to Pass Seniors discovered the hidden costs of an education and had to fork over at least S175 to do so. Other events that seniors didn't want to miss out on were the Parent Night banquet and senior day at a total cost of 355. lncidentals that added up included the senior class picture, graduation photo, senior 'I'-shirt, senior video, cap and gown, and graduation announce- ments, which totalled almost 5100. Students coughed up over S700 to pay for their senior year, and this was probably only a fraction of what they spent on clothes, cars, and dates. PAUSING FOR PRAYER.
