Sweethearts gear up; finish first “It was a great dance; the best I’ve ever been to,” says Colleen Gallagher. Chris Tucker agrees with her, adding, “The balloons and decorations were terrif- ic.” “I had a lot of fun and 1 really think everyone enjoyed themselves,” Liz Shea says, “We should have more dances that are this much fun.” This is what the students said about the sweetheart dance. But, the dance was just the finale of weeks of work by the girls, two from each homeroom, elected by their homeroom to represent them. The girls made desserts: rice crispy treats, fudge jumbles, chocolate chip cookies, cupcakes, etc., to sell to the stu- dents with a sweet tooth. The money went toward the missions. $2,500 of goodies were bought. This year’s court was: Barb Sroka, Jennifer Dyer, Martha Heenan, Claudine Dubois and Michelle Lentz. The girl who sold the most was senior, Michelle Lentz. The royal couple, Michelle Lentz and Ken Jacobs, take time out from dancing to pose for some photos with roses, crown and cape. Michelle topped the rest of the girls, earning over $300. Dedication and school spirit describes Dan Stechschulte and his motives for coming to the dance. A bad ankle and crutches don’t stop him from attending. 19

Time to budget already? What’s the favorite thing to do after a school function? Hit Taco Bell, of course, and why not? It’s only $2.67 for an average meal. If you aren’t hungry for tacos, there’s always the alternative of Pizza Pizza for $6.97. As for the morning people, they can have the school’s favorite cereal, Froot Loops, for only $1.88. If you have the munchies, you can get away with a can- dy bar for 40c and a Coke for 60c. Need a new outfit to go out in? You can get an oxford for $12.00 and parachute pants for about $28.00 at your local mall. Entertainment doesn’t come quite as cheaply as nourishment. The price to see a great movie like Risky Business can set you back about $4.00. To see Van Halen or Lionel Riche perform can cost anywhere between $10.00 and $13.50. If this isn’t quite what you’re after, you could always go bowling for $1.25 a game. If outdoor fun is more your speed, you could play a round of putt-putt for $2.50 a game, or better yet, go to the beach at one of our favorite metroparks for only $2.00. What’s the cost of transportation to these places? Gasoline is averaging about $1.19 per gallon. So as you can see, it can get very expensive for the average Divine Child student. If the time comes and you find yourself broke, you can always find a sporting event such as baseball, football, or basketball to attend. They’re cheap—really cheap. They’re free!! Toucan Sam and Jeanine Percha arc great friends because Jeanine’s one of the people who got Froot Loops voted number one! She loves those loops. Voted number one by the school. Michael Jackson and Van Halen are great entertainment and a great bargain at only $8.95.
