r supER yea - Seniors require big buck: Dan Ray chose to wear a sweater for six of his twelve poses. It isn't cheap to be a senior! said Dan Ray. I thought my ju- nior year cost a lot with class rings, and prom but the expense of caps, gowns, announce- ments and color pictures puts a real dent in the wallet. The senior spending average is $60 for announcements and $150 for senior pictures. Class of- ficers chose the announcement design. We had a hard time deciding on them. Jostens had a large variety of styles. Getting a tri-fold over just a half fold was a unanimous choice, said Jim- my Walker, senior class presi- dent. I spent $80 for announce- ments, said Timm Courtney. I bought it all, a memory book, a gold key for my key chain, and 60 announcements. I have a big family. I hope I get a lot of pre- ’ sents at graduation. Senior pictures were a p’opu- „ lar Christmas present to grand- parents. “I liked having my named stamped in gold in the right corner of my wallet pho- tos, said Karlette Shields. 16 Senior Announcements

Many students show outstanding achievements Students had a chance to show off many special talents both in and out of school. In October, Chris Chadd was the first Valley Park student to be- come a member of the Meramec Community College Orchestra. “I had never played in an orchestra before. It was really hard to ad- just to the new style of music, said Chris. During the school year Chris attended rehearsals every Wednesday, and appeared in four formal performances. Chris hopes to someday pursue a suc- cessful music career. In November, four students at- tended a seminar at the St. Louis County Health Department. This seminar certified Patty Poppe, David Finder, Jeff Miller, and Jim Walker as Teenage Health Con- sultants. Throughout the school year these four students gave speeches to a number of Valley Park classes. We gave talks on sexual responsibility, child abuse, stress management, and drug abuse, said Jim Walker, The most popular subject was stress management. Also in November, seven Valley Park students packed up and headed for the woods. Jim Mat- lock, Fred Palmer, Tom McKinnon, Timm Courtney, Jim Walker, Tim Fain, and Dan Ray cleaned their guns and set out to hunt deer. However, upon returning to school, only Fred Palmer and Jim Walker were able to boast of having shot deer. I bagged mine the first day out, said Fred. Most of the group is already looking forward to next year's hunting season, and hoping to bring home a deer each. On May 7, Karen VanBuren played in a charity basketball game to benefit Cardinal Glen- non Hospital for Children. The teams consisted of the top high school players from the city and county. Karen said, I was ex- cited to be chosen as one of the best. The game was a lot of fun, and it was for a good cause. All proceeds from the game went to Cardinal Glennon.

Chris Chadd waits patiently for the direc- tion to begin playing. People 15
