— I Confronted bv dollar dilemmas ' r clubs relv on increased numbers I to help boost their budgets I f a runner realizes from practices or past meets that he gets a good start in a race only to fall behind toward the end, he ' ll try to pace him- self differently, With a few attempts and some luck, he ' ll find a rate that results in better clockings on the stop- watch. We often go about solving a prob- lem by taking elements of past suc- cesses and combining them in new ways. This was the method VHS clubs took toward what Assistant Principal Robert Sutton, director of extra-cur- riculor activities, said was the main dif- ficulty clubs faced this year: raising money. As inflation and student apathy to- ward the formerly lucrative post-game sock-hops combined to deplete club incomes, VHS organizations were forced to look for new money-makers and rely more heavily on other sources of revenue, such as bake sales and membership dues. One new fund-raiser idea this year was DECA ' S Fall Flurry of Fashion Show, presented in October. Most clubs, however, depended more on ideas from past years. Fortunately for many clubs, student participation rose markedly this year. V-teens, for example, trippled in size, over last year, while Pep Club boasted a 25 per cent rise in membership, add- ing extra dollars through dues and ad- ditional hands to help at club activities. Some clubs, like Drama Club, whose membership remained more consis- tent with past years, instead had to increase dues. If clubs had serious financial troubles, they could request help from the Stu- dent Faculty Senate, Instead, VHS clubs found that adjusting the pace was enough to stay in the race. — Sara Thompson In a scene from a rehearsal for fhe musical “Hello Dollyl” Cornelius Hackl (Eric Branf) anx- iously awalfs Mrs. Molloy’s (Mary Webb) reply abouf a date on Sunday.
