Besides the everyday fund-raising items to buy, seniors had purchases to make, like caps and gowns and invitations, that were an almost must -for seniors. As the years passed and prices rose, parents had to dig a little deeper into their pockets to support the senior. The invitations, selected by the senior class bore the gold emobssed coat of arms and their color was parchment. Compared to last year's cost at 31c a piece, the price rose to 36C a piece. The Herff-Jones Com- pany sold the invitations in the foyer. during November. The invitations could be bought in packages containing name cards, memory books, key chains, necklaces with the in- signia, and thank you notes. .The Collegiate Services rented caps and gowns for 316.50, 32 less than last year. The expenditure for an extra tassel was two-dollars, a 500 increase. The gowns were the traditional black. Measurements were taken for the caps, but they didn't always come back the right size. Many students complained that the caps were too large and gowns too long or short. My cap is huge. l don't have that big of a headf, commented John Baxter, senior. 'fMy robe is almost to the ground, com- plained Anne Roberts, senior. Another item bought by seniors only was the senior composite picture. This picture caused quite a few problems. One was that the picture was taken during the junior year. The other problem, the price. The picture was usually taken during the senior year as a group picture and cost 37. The composite was 313.50 and individual pictures on one mat. Many students refused to buy the pic- tures because they were not satisfied. Many complained of the quality and cost. The pictures are not what I thought they would be. 313.50 is just too much to pay and I didn't even put a deposit down to order one. The students could get their money back if they wrote Smiley Photography and complained. And no one can forget the senior pictures taken at Marcel's. The sitting fee was 33.50, but if you ordered extra pictures it could cost 3100 or more. ln order to have a pic- ture in the yearbook Marcel's had to take it during the summer. So being a senior was not cheap. A good average price for being a senior was probably 3240.50 This estimate included the composite, caps and gowns, 375 for Marcel's pictures, 364 for invitations, and 316 for prom ticketsl 38 SENIORS
