As students completed their junior year, the costly expense of being a senior began. Luckily, most seniors had already bought their class ringsg therefore, that was one less ex- pense to contend with. Seniors set up photographic appointments for the summer months before their final year. The package size and setting determined the cost of these packages. Caps, gowns and tassels worn during the graduation ceremony provided a spectac- ular display of school colors. Most students bought tassels for keepsakes and hung them from rearview mirrors. Before buying announce- ments, seniors had to decide how many people should receive them. A ticket for the senior break- fast Thursday, May 29, in the University of Oklahoma Ballroom cost 58. Senior keys and similar jewelry items were sold as momentos for the year. Most seniors placed these on their keychains to remind them of their final year. On Wednesday, May I4, seniors lined up for the senior class group picture. The process of lining up according to height, placing students evenly upon the risers and snap- ping the photograph took approximately one hour. The 10 x 40 photograph became one of the many senior year treasures. Other than buying momentos, seniors also paid for their ACT and SAT tests and college application fees. The senior year was very ex- pensive, but since it only happened once, well worth it. rder Day. Seniors file into the cafeteria to purchase announcements and various momentos. The articles that were ordered were also keepsakes to most graduates. Preparation for Graduation Student Life
