Juniors raise $3000 for ,81 Prom by Kathy Johnson Every class needs funds, but the one with the most pressure on it is the juniors. This year the stress was multiplied due to the recession. Officers were elected in the Spring so they could slave away the summer raising money. They began with a project attempted tor the first time this year, selling fireworks. From there they went on to have car washes every month till school started. After that was when the real push began. Juniors had a dance at the American Legion, went to Ivy Techis show and tell days, and inherited the Haunted Gym from last years Juniors. They also tried another first, an all-school hayride. Class dues contributed quite a bit to the treasury, along with the sale of cookies, calendars, and bumper stickers. All this stress is due to the Prom. Silver Creek is one of the few schools around that has a free prom. h Juniors . . . the class with the most stress and pressure on it.

Raising money is never tun; but this year, with the recession, it has been harder than ever. Students have used the traditional projects. Car washes, bake sales, and dances have been around forever. Then there were the more bizarre features such as the haunted gym, powder puff football, and Halloween insurance. Another device that organizations take advantage of is the selling of merchandise. Huge sums of money were raised in this manner in spite of the recession. Sponsors choose products according to the margin of the profit and quality - fruit cakes, candles, and candy are excellent examples.
