David Cherry and Craig Brooks work on a door poster for patriotism week. 1 .. as fee . E x-students are still suffering from bankruptcy in 1990. Overweight bodies and unclear skin were the results of fun- draisers such as Queen of Hearts bake sales, junior class candy bars, and M 8a M's sold by the Spanish club. Finances for necessities are low. At times, it actually seemed as if rais- ing money was the main objective in students' lives. If students were not sell- ing pizzas for the band, coupon books for the Future Homemakers of America, carnations for the Future Teachers of America, or donuts for the cheerleaders, they were peddling candy 20-fundraisers elling Makes Cent bars for the choir, selling crystal for the Future Business Leaders of America, fruit or raffle tickets for the Future Farmers of America, spirit ribbons for the pep squad, crepes for the French Club, or posters for Distributive Educa- tion. People wondered if the buying and selling would ever end. All together the student body raised approximately 370,521.00 during the year. Was it worth it all? Yes! Thanks to Queen of Hearts, the yearbook staff published and sold the 1984 UNICORN for 510.00 each. The choir and band competed and toured at Six Flags Over Texas. FBLA and DECA were able to attend their respective state conventions in Houston and San Antonio. Without money-making pro- jects, these and other trips and conven- tions would not have been possible. Fun- draisers cut the cost of trips propor- tionately by the amount the student raised. By the end of the year, most students were tired of buying and selling. The only remedy to fundraisers was finding a good summer job in order to have money for next year's projects and for Rolaids.
