( 6 Guinea 5 5 pigs test Gift Mill Fund raising began with a new all- school sales program, with every student acting as a guinea pig. All carried cata- logs and order forms to prospective cus- tomers and left them over night. The cus- tomers would then look them over and order what they wanted. The “guinea pig (student) picked it up the next day. The idea behind this was to earn enough money so classes, clubs, and organizations would not have to have a lot of little fund raisers. Many students expressed definite opinions on the success of the Gift Mill project. “I think it’s stupid, said Jayme Schreiber, My Gift Mill things sat in my locker and rotted,” Richard Solberg said. “I think it’s stupid. Why can’t we sell M Ms instead?” asked Cindy Pointer. There were some problems,” explained Mr. Fetty. “Having brothers and sisters and everyone in the neighbor- hood selling the same thing at the same time, did cause some problems. According to Mr. Fetty, the school will try the same plan of selling in future years. However there will be some changes, for one, only the classes that need the money will participate. The profits will be divided between them. Having the Gift Mill sales didn’t partic- ularly mean there were not any other fund raising activities. Miss Linda Beard had a few car washes for the purchase of uniforms and registration fees for the swing choir to enter contests. The ath- letic boosters had raffles at all the home games and other activities to raise money for uniforms and equipment for our ath- letes. The band boosters also helped the band with raising money for uniforms and instruments. The sophomore class had its annual magazine sale, to raise money for prom. The magazines and records were sold for two weeks. Prizes were awarded to top sellers. Mr. Norman Backus, magazine salesman, explains to the sophomore class how to win prizes selling magazines. The sophomore class listens intently while Norman Backus tells how to fill out a maga- zine or record order form. 24 — Money Makers
