MAKING MONEY M8tM's heighten re enue Almost all clubs boost their funds through sales Mrs. Polly Moffatt had her hands full as the school accountant last year. Almost every club and organization in the school sold or did something to raise money. The Art Club sold over 3700 worth of M8cM's, The money from this project went toward paying for the club's showings such as the one at Mule Alley in the Stockyards in February, according to Mrsjerrijo Wright, art club sponsor. ' ' The band also sold M5zM's in May. The only other organization to sell candy were the seniors planning to go to Washington. Instead of raising the money for one fund. they sold for themselves. By selling candy, stationery and desk ac- cessories decorated with strawberry decals, almond bars, and key chains, they could lower the price of their own tickets. The seniors also planned the senior-faculty basketball game to help needy students who couldn't seem to get enough money even though they wanted to go, according to Mrs. jo Pennington, government teacher. The game earned about 3800. Strangely enough, the more expensive candy sold by the clubs and organizations sold better than the candy sold in the school candy machines. The reason may have been selection. A new law passed-.,made it illegal to sell some candy bars, and carbonated drinks were sold after the last lunch period. Future Business Leaders of America also sold many items. Puzzies, Critter Bells, and ceramic cowboy hats with Buff Country rib- bons were sold to help the club go to their state convention in Houston, according to Mrs.-Judy Griggers, FBLA sponsor. Stuffed animals, posters, and keychains. and liaster egg decorations were sold to help junior Carol Evans, who placed first in Shorthand I at the stare convention, go to the national convention in Chicago duringjune XISOOQ' Mrs. Griggets said. The Drama Club sold jewelry that resembled stained glass to earn over S250 to use toward the Drama Club banquet at the Stage West Theater. according to Mrs. Kay VanNorden, drama teacher and club When we went to state. we had about SSISOOQ' Mrs. Griggers said. sponsor. The girls' volleyball team sold plastic tumblers. A set of six cost 35550. We sould have made about 3590, but we didn't sell them all. We only made about 34501 Miss Teresa Price said. Valentines Day brought out the cupid in the German Club and the Vocational Health Occupations Education classes. VHOE sold carnations while the German club sold Zuckergrams. The senior class as a whole made about 3400 for their fund by selling Christmas OYHHITICIIIS. Future Teachers of America were asked to sell floating candles during the holiday season. They earned about 3250, according to Mrsjean Fisher, FTA sponsor. With all their other activities, the Highsteppers somehow found the time to sell tickets to Oktoberfest where they also worked a booth. They earned about S250 with the annual Highstepper show presented in March. The purpose of the show was not to earn money but to give the audience a chance to see the drill team do something besides drills, according to Mrs. Dorothy Mixe, Ilighstepper sponsor. The choir sold cheese, cutlery, and little rock formations called Rock Concerts to make money for their spring show in April at Tarrant County junior College. They made about 31500, according to Mr. Rob Seible. choir director. The student council sponsored Kiss-A- Witch or Warlock event at Halloween. Student council also sold singing telegrams, cups, t-shirts and bumber stickers. The junior class sold spirit ribbons, glasses. pompons and bumper stickers. These itetns werent sold as much to raise money as they were sold to raise spirit, ac- cording to Mrs. jan Iidwarsd, junior sponsor. Girls' basketball and boys' basketball also took part in the fundraising activities. In order to raise money for their banquet at the Austin Patio Dude Ranch in Grapevine. the reams sold candy dishes. Yes. Mrs. Polly Moffatt was one busy ac- countant last year . .
