Money crunch felt universally Sophomores face crisis head-on ivilization was built with mon- ey, and school clubs, like anything else, need it to survive. Unfortunately, though it's easy to realize that money is needed, it's hard to raise it. The Sophomore Class, like clubs throughout the school, faced the dol- lar-crisis head-on. It needed money for its sophomore activities, which in- cluded a Homecoming float and a so- cial, and a surplus which it could take with them into its junior year. Financially, the class had little to fall back on because of two car wash- es that were cancelled during the freshman year. lnvariably, when the money-ques- tion was brought up during a council meeting, someone like Chris Shipman quipped, What money?,' But discussions werenit always that light - the council members realized how serious the problem was and tried to develop new ways to raise the money. Mr. Ioseph DiLorenzo, the class ad- visor, said, The major problem is that communities in the area have been saturated with different non-profit or- ganizations going door-to-door trying to raise funds. This leaves the school organizations with very few alterna- tives for example, bake sales, can- dy sales, car washes, etc. Kyle Tucci, class president, said, 'iWe should be allowed to have a more liberal attitude when it comes to raising money. Bake sales are fun, but they don't get the job done. Many sophomores agreed with this. They felt that they should be allowed to use more 'igimmicksl' for fund-raising. Last year the sophomore class sold pins and necklaces, but this year that wasn't allowed. Robin Kukla, class treasurer, offered a solution for the problem. She said, I think there should be less restric- tions put on fund-raising. We should work with the elementary schools. To- gether we could help each other very much. Each other - and themselves.
