Top-Notch Expense Four yeors ogo, the closs of '85 dreomed obout becoming seniors. Now thot the time hod orrived, they reolized just how expensive their lost yeor would be. There were so mony things they wonted to do, but it begon to get costly. Even before the school yeor officiolly storted, seniors were receiving oppoint- ment cords to hove their senior portroits token ot Bryn-Alon Studio. There wos o sit- ting fee of 54.00, ond when the proofs or- rived, the photo pockoges were ordered for prices onywhere from 59.95 to 5131.00 When school finolly opened, seniors storted off the new yeor by buying senior derby poclsoges for 510.00. ln thot pockoge were spirit ribbons for oll footboll gomes, N M pins, ond one senior derby. There were olso T-shirts to be bought for 57.00. These few things were just the beginning of the Seniors long rood of money-spending for the closs of '85 In December the time hod finolly come for the seniors to be fitted for their cop ond gown, These were bought for 520.00 ond the extro tossel for their cor's reor-view mir- ror wos bought for 58.00 eoch. There wos excitement in the oir when it wos time to order groduotion onnouncements, colling cords, memory olbums, ond senior jewelry. With so mony things to choose from, the cost kept getting higher ond higher. Even with oll this, there were yeor- boolss to buy with on eorly cost of 520.00 ond o lote cost of 52500. Some things were more fun spending money on thon other things. Tolsing the SAT or ACT wos not one of the fun things, but it wos o required test for students plon- ning to ottend college. Going on the Senior . up-5 Cruise wos definitely one of the more fun things on which to spend money. This yeor's trip to Mexico cost eoch senior 5450.00 Grod Night, o yeorly trip to Wolf 0isney's Mogic Kingdom, wos yet onother expense for the seniors. Seniors ond their dotes went on this oll-night trip for the cost of 580.00 o person. The ticket for the Senior Prom wos free for seniors, but they still hod to buy cor- soges or boutonnieres, their dresses or tux- edos, ond the troditionol dinner out before the donce. So, even though the donce wos free, everything thot occom- ponied it cost more ond more money. Freshmen, sophomores, ond juniors olwoys dreom obout becoming o senior, It wos the highlight of high school yeors for some. The senior yeor wos fun ond gomes, but it cost money!
