I.O.U.—In Debt, Over-D rawn, an d Under P ressure The unreliability of the greenback caused problems for upperclassmen. Car payments, senior rings and pictures, dating, and new clothes were all necessities. The average senior portraits cost $240. No one's price compared to Becky Mabry's $425 but Ricky Silcott kept his icture cost to a low of 56. Mike Colvin spent $275 on his senior ring while Bill Boulware spent $210 less. 'Students spend too much money on extra senior pictures, clothing, and more graduation announcements than needed.' said Becky Ford. With gas at $1.39 a f;allon, tne average icensed driver spent PENS, PENCILS, AND NOTES. At the Enid Library Russ Wilson reads and takes notes for his English research paper. close to $130 a month. 'Dragging Main' was finished for some students when parents stopped handing out gas money. Like many students who worked 4 to 6 hours a day, junior Vicki Simmons angrily said, 'I work maybe two nights a week at Keck's Feedlot for my spending money and gas. Twenty- five dollars has to last me a whole week; it usually doesn't last me a day!' Dropping gas prices helped a little. The cost of everything is not always in dollars and cents. The average involved student spent close to eleven hours a day in school with sports and meetings. The night lights burned until dawn for English IV students before all research paper deadlines were due. Christy Wichert, when asked if she would ever go through it again, said, 'I would quit scnool first!' COST OF WORKING, lunior Kathy Carroll works dilegently at T.G.

er or The already long hours in class grew seemingly even longer as spring fever tooK hold of the students. Unpredictable Oklahoma weather tried all its stunts-warm, then cold; no rain for months, then more rain than ever before. Plans for outdoor activities were often changed at the last minute. The National Honor Society's picnic for the teachers came on a night of record cold. A week later the freshmen had a beautiful night for their class party. Seniors had to change their plans for a day's outing at Roman Nose to an all- day party at the bolwing alley. Tne juniors had a great evening for decorating the fair building into Venetian splendor. But the next night rain oured during the anquet and prom. The baseball and track teams sometimes had more trouble with the weather than with their opponents. It was a warm day and all the windows in the school were open as the seniors took final exams. Maybe that was one reason the sound of Stecklein's stereo seemed so loud in the building that Chris was sent home to turn it off. Besides the weather, other events affected all lives. Everyone was shocked at the death of comedian John Belushi, and when Argentina invaded the Falkland Islands. A fire in the school's boiler room caused little damage because of quick response from the fire department.
