On Saturday, October 13, the Home- coming Dance, was a smashing success. Purple, blue, and silver decorations adorned tables, walls, and ceilings at the Edina Community Center. Confetti was tossed in handfuls about the room, creat- ing a festive party atmosphere. The deco- rations were not the only things that were fantastic that night; the appearances of the students left a lasting impression as well. hhThe outfits were incredible? exclaimed Jennifer Abrams am, co-chairman of the Homeocming celebration, lland I really enjoyed giving my time to make the dance and Homecoming work 7 As the hands of the clock approached midnight, couples filtered out in groups to talk over the dance. Some walked casually out to cars parked nearby while others with a bit more class tusually seniorsl were escorted by chauffeurs to limosines, to be driven to the AMFAC or other places where people would gather and late night tor early morning partying would begin. In the memories of many Edina students, that night and the fun of Homecoming l84-l85 would remain for a lifetime.

Edina Students Chuck Their Bucks What do you like to do with your hard earned bucks? While some business-mind- ed students may choose to put their money safely away in the bank, it would be fair to speculate that a large majority would an- swer this question with a simple two words: spend it! Edina students seemed to use their mon- ey for a wide variety of activities along with other miscellaneous items. For most of the female population at EHS clothes were the number one expense. The desire to keep in step with the latest styles caused loads of frustration as it emptyed the every checking account in town. Guys, too, were known to blow their cash on clothes, as they realized the mag- netic effect women experienced towards them while they were decked out in the latest llGQll styles. Other less fashion oriented students tended to fork over their bucks to have a good time. The high price of fun often included the cost of movies, restaurants, and anything else a student could dream up for the purpose of entertainment. Of course, food proved to be a major I8 MONEY expense. At school, the a la carte line tempted hungary young students into spending their allowances on goodies such as cookies, french fries, and chicken McNuggets. Many school-oriented organizations sold candy, and this also proved to be a tempting treat. Out-of-school fast food joints like Zantigos and McDonalds were popular with the regular junk food junkies. Perhaps some of the students who chose not to spend money on tantilizing treats opted instead for dancing those calories, off, hopping to the latest tunes. Hundreds of dollars each year were spent by indivi- duals with the desire to have a personal copy of their favorite song album. Hopefully this has shed some light on the variety of ways Edina students spent their money. Whether it was useful, or what mom called llan absolute wasted, Edina students had fun chucking their bucks! Jenny Berg t12l 33 V65 her allowance for some new threads.
