24 I SALES Big Spenders ome one, come all, buy nowg a yellow-tag sale, grand opening sale, going out-of- business sale, all, titles of a trade. Everything was for sale. Everyone was out to buy. Candy sticks, candy-bars, and lollipops were all big hits in the school buying and selling business. Prices ranged from 15 to 50 cents. The choral and band groups, Spanish Club, VICA CVocational industrial Clubs of Americab, Science Club, and the freshman, sophomore, and junior classes all hit a vulnerable spot - the sweet-tooth. Other organizations held many different kinds of sales. DECA CDistributive Education Clubs of America? sold cheese and sausage, the Student Coun- cil sold spirit stickers, the Math Department sold spirit dolls, junior class sold spirit chains, sophomore class sold Homecoming mums, and the National Honor Society held a Valentine carnation sale. Organizations tried to earn enough money to do something special within their group. Balfour jumped into the buy- ing and selling game by selling class rings to juniors and graduation announcements to seniors. The POWDER HORN PRESS and OCCURRENCES staffs sold their publications for 25 cents and 515, respectively. The OC- CURRENCES staff also sold pic- ture packets which were a popular item, especially for parents, and could be pur- chased from 54 to 511. Contributing to the athletic department, the cheerleaders sold beat ribbons for 25 cents during the football season and doughnuts for 15 cents every Friday morning in the conces- sion stand. Several of the sports teams held thons. The swim team held a swim-a-than, the diving team a dive-a-thon, the football team a bench-a-thon, the baseball team a marathon game, and the girls' varsity basketball team a shoot-a- thon. Students signed up spon- sors and teams collected anywhere from 52,350 to 5270. Buying and selling was a con- stant problem in the lives of many students. Those buying had to make or save money in order to spend, and those sell- ing had to check out candy, keep an accurate account of it, and turn money earned in on time. Money was earned and spent and everyone was deter- mined to get ahead, so everything from bumper stickers to cheese and sausage was for sale. A FINAL CHECK made by Ellen Schwartz In the cafeteria refrigerator, insured that the 15CD flowers for the National Honor Society Valentine carnation sale would survive another day. They were delivered on February 11th flrst and se- cond period. .. 5 K. W i .
