The day of the free ride any- time is virtually ended. As crime increased and trust dropped to new lows, even Dan Perry's schoolmates wouldn't offer him a lift, Finally, after half an hour and the aid of the camera crew, Walter Wilcox ground his 250 Cummings Diesel Sunoco truck to a halt. In her spare time, Joan Button clipped her nails with the free nail clippers that she had received the previous day. .

The girls' basketball team tried to beat inflation with a penny guess and bake sale. The football team purchased a new popcorn machine to raise money. student life - 25 NEY - THE LACK OF IT One can do nothing today without money. New York City discovered how use- ful money was when they discovered that they were close to bankruptcy. Some said default is the only way outg others said New York should pay its debts. Although Presi- dent Ford opposed helping the city, the Fed- eral Government saved New York with a compromise plan. But students have to save themselves. This year everyone pays their own debts, although some owe more than others. The Lettermenls Club owes Garrison's Men's Store two-hundred dollars from last year's jackets. The Lettermen have been sell- ing food at bakesales downtown and at school. The Band, who had to raise 15,000 dollars, has also been bombarding consumers downtown and at school. They diligently sold calendars, sponges, and trees. Over the Thanksgiving holiday, the Band had a Tag Day . Members stood in front of stores ask- ing for donationsg they raised one-thousand dollars in two days. This year the National Honor Society got into money-raising. Last summer at the Laurel Festival honor stu- dents sold soft drinks around town. At the beginning of school they put on a candy bar drive, selling over four-hundred fifty dollars worth of chocolate. With this money they are supporting an orphan over seas, helping the poor at Christmas, and planning a trip in the spring. So it seems that all clubs are either selling, working, or campaigning for the one thing that can keep them from de- fault-money. f3biw 1 In August, 1889, the I : New York City debt to- I 4 talled 395,000,000 1
