Costs Anon-athlete spends approximately $29 a year going to sporting events while the average athlete spends close to $50 for shoes and practice clothes. If the stuaent is in band another $32 is spent on band shoes and pants. The favorite 'hour' is lunch. The cost for a stu- dent who eats at the school cafeteria is $108 while the student who eats up town the expense can go up to $540. Publications cost $8 for the 'Jacket' and $1.80 for the 'Sting'. Tests that are taken during the junior and senior year run from $3.50 for the PSAT to $7.50 for the ACT plus travel to the testing col- lege. The average Sr. por- traits cost $120. Gradu- ation even gets into the pockets of students with cap and gown rental of $10 to announcements around $35. The average car driver spends $56.25 during one year to drive his car to school and back one time day. Add to that riding around and the athletes and spectators who have to drive back and forth to school for practice and games and this can push it up into the hundreds. A few of the extra frills of school are letter jackets $85, class rings $100 and FFA entry fees $50. The cost of running the school for a month is tre- mendous. For electricity, water, and sanitation, in the month of January 1980 was $2,247. Gasoline for the buses for one month ranges up to $3668 to run routes and activities. Heating bills for a cold winter month cost up to $2754. This only includes energy bills. After this teachers, administration, and the janitors have to be paid. Cost doesn't always have to be registered in dollars and cents. Cost in hours of human sacrifice and time spent at school is unbelievable. The average nonathlete spends 7.5 hours at school a day mak- ing over 1140 hours a school year. Band stu- dents spend 8.5 hours a day at school while ath- letes spend close to 10 hours. If the 'lucky' ath- lete is also in band he spends close to 11 hours every day of the week in a school building. The emotional cost and the physical one is also tremendous for the aver- age high school student. Preparation for 'the big test' causes quite a strain. Early morning band trips or track meets also put physical strains on those involved. The cost of school really can't be expressed in terms of dollars and cents or hours. In fact education is a gift. In twenty years SQUEEZE PLAY: Ronnie Barger depletes his bank account approximately $100 as he signs a check for his senior portraits. DOUBLE THE EXPENSE: Darin and David Miller relax in the gym lobby at noon. The twins had to pay twice the average $107 for their letterjackets (Darin is 36 and David 7). most students of FHS will be glad to say 'I paid my dues.' Cost 23
