Money . . . s There Ever Enough? Yes, We Earn It . And Blow It! Remember when your parents told you, I could buy a candy bar for a nickel. What do you mean you need a dollar? and My class ring only cost 825.00! Well, times have changed and so have the prices on the price tags. The basics may be free, but those extras cost! Now, more than ever, students are realizing that money doesn't grow on trees. Sophomore had to pay for school pictures, test fees, club fees, and spirit ribbons. Juniors were blasted with the price of class rings ranging from S80 to 8300, as well as school Shane Riley stops on his way to school to restock his supply of gum for class. After having them made during the summer, the class of '88 spent mega-bucks on senior pictures. For most it was just too hard to choose only one pose. 10 MONEY -. - ff .L ,, pictures, ACT, PSAT, and NEDT tests and club fees. Senior costs were the greatest with senior pictures, graduation annoucements, cap and gown pictures, PLUS the costly expense of prom on top of everything else. And of course, for everyone, there was the BOBCAT yearbook. These expenses all seemed to come at once and many students found themselves facing bankruptcy. In order to bridge the gap between the expenses that mom and dad sprang for and those that they didn't, many students took to the work force. They found part time jobs at local businesses after school and on weekends to help make ends meet. Some popular work spots included: Wal- Mart, McDonald's, Mad Butcher, and Big Banjo. These and other businesses provided students with a source of income as well as giving them valuable work training. Indeed, it's fun to reminisce about the good old days when prices were lowg however, since they are sky high today, get a job and start saving those bucks. YOU ARE GOING TO NEED THEM!
