bb 50 QQ ti AYUNG IQHVLILS ages of expenses, Want spur club fund-rai ers From household visitations to the Valentine's Day dance, club members creatively conjured up ways to raise much-needed money for all sorts of activities. The I-Iyline Pilgrimage and Back To School BBQ were very successful this year. The money we made from selling tickets went to pay for the costumes in our stage production, Zenith, junior Leslie Io Tottenham said. Though seen as necessary in the eyes of many sponsors and members, fund raisers proved not to always be an exciting facet of club life. Fund raising is definitely .U . A1 ' I-My 4 3-. '-4? not one of the most pleasant as- pects of teaching, but it is a neces- sary evil, German teacher Scott Gardner said. Many students, however, found the sale of certain food stuffs quite encumbering. I didn't mind selling grape- fruit to raise money for the Band's trip to the Carribean, but I found out, to my own expense, that not too many people wanted to buy crates of grapefruit, sol sent what I had left to the Ethiopians, know- ing that by the time it got there it would be rotten, junior David Kettler said. Though clubs and organiza- tions engaged inthe sale of differ- ent items from food to tickets to an Italian dinner hosted by the Hyline, a few fund-raisers proved more profitable than others. I feel our most popular fund raiser was the advent calendars, though the Toblerone candies were a perennial favorite, they kept melting and turning into white powder, Scott Gardner said. Fund-raisers provided the necessary money to fund the club events like the band's cruise, the journalism department'strips and the drama productions through- out the year. KEEP THE CHANGE.

LY und raisers make ends meet Whether they made small change or big bucks, fund raising constituted a major part of club activities. Half-asleep students stumbled into the cafeteria before class to buy a 35 cent doughnut from TAFE members who used the S400 they raised to honor coaches who taught academics. T he money also allowed some of our members to attend the TAFE State Convention. They got the chance to meet other kids who want to become teachers and talk about their goals. sponsor Judith Landry said. With help from the band par- ents, sales of fruit and fruitcake, money from an invitational band competition and payment for odd jobs within the community, mem- bers ofthe band managed to come up with enough cash to finance a cruise to Labadee, Puerto Rico, and St. Thomas june 4-ll. ' All of the money from year? book sales as well as the profits from advertising revenue went tri pay for the printing and produc1 tion costs of the El Paisano. l Kids really shouldn't coml plain about the cost of their year- books, senior yearbook business co-manager Jenifer Tesch said We don't keep any of the money We charge them less than what i costs us to publish the book WORKING CLASS.
