SENIORS “Scroogeism” was out when it came to the senior year, the art-of penny pinching was dead, and the slick, well oiled money spending ma- chinery that characterized the senior year took over and almost instantly depleted senior money piles. Mega expenses, excluding of course such minor items as car insurance and dental bills, chewed through a seniors cash faster than a Tas- manian Tarsir. The three biggest expenses for each senior were, the prom, Senior Fling, and senior portraits. Before school began, the seniors had their se- nior portraits taken by the school photographer, Bordanaro and Zarcone. What did portraits mean? They meant money to be spent. Depend- ing upon the Narcissus complex or model — like good looks of the individual senior, portraits scorched the old money-pile supply for any- where from $50 to $280. Talk about taking a bit out of a senior’s expense account. The hole in the seniors wallets and purses grew bigger as Senior Fling popped up at the end of the year. The Class of 89 had the opportunity to enjoy the fun of Disneyland, the cool breezes Leia Aguiluz Eric Alden Catherine Aquino Felecisimo Aquino of Catalina Island, and the thrill of Magic Moun- tain which cost a senior about $340. The Fling cost $240 while the $100 and up went to ex- penses such as food and souvenirs. Last but no least, the big money gobbler of the senior year was the prom. $50 tickets alone gave anyone a shock. Girls purchased “The Dress” and guys rented a tuxedo. $20 fee was common for late tux renters and the thrifty girls refused to disclose the price tag that originally was attached to their special dress. A limo ranged from $40 to $65 an hour but parents were pleased as they knew the limo-riders would return home un- ticketed. The customary dinner before the prom was price tagged from $40 to $70 a plate at classy restaurants; however, at “Elegant restaurants” the girls’ menu had no prices showing, the tux- edo-lad-money spending senior male worried about the dinner tab. As the year came to an end, so did the seniors dried-out expense account. The bet in 89 was that each senior would spend $1000 for senior events and expenses.
