That's not more dollars coming into the treasury, but unfortunately more money going out. As required by law, all clubs were required to pay sales tax on all fundraisers for the past four years. We didn't have as much money to spend on costumes be- cause we now needed to pay back taxes, so costume costs were cut but the competition was still awe- some! Hyline member junior Terrice Barnes said. One of the largest organiza- tions, the Student Council, also felt the pinch of a smaller pocket- book. Their solution? A new school store. l'm really glad that there's a school store . It's a relief to know that if l'm out of paper or ifl lose a pen, I know I can run to the school store during lunch, so- phomore Kristi O'Donnel said. Not only clubs with big spending accounts complied with the debt they owed, but also those smaller clubs such as the Mu BLESS YOU.

The Mu Alpha Theta had to increase its fundraising to include more bake sales and a car wash which we used for entering math competitions, member senior Evelyn Zabaneh said. Unfortunately, some organi- zations, like the Keywanettes, started the year with a deficit. Having no money to start off the new year and the added burden of the taxes resulted in financial frus- tration. We started the year in the hole a couple hundred dollars. We were worried about where the money was going to come from. Luckily, we had an increase in members so the money flow has been increased, so we've had no problems, Keywanette treasurer junior Amy Breedlove said. From the 38.30 the German Club owed to the 82,737.44 the yearbook staff owed, the debts needed to satisfy each club's needs finally paid off! C HANGE YOUR... Edited by Louro Cooper

FBECQYUENT FLYEFRS reedom found for the lucky few Iourneying anywhere and almost everywhere from Dallas to Spain, time travelers took well- deserved breaks and substituted a trip for the routines of school. Yearbook and newspaper staffers joined other journalists, discovering creative activities for fun on educational trips. We went from store to store at the Galleria in Dallas, borrow- ing certain items of interest for indefinite periods of time, fresh- man Katie Gilmour said. Spanish club members also dedicated some of their energies to having a good time and at the same time put their speaking skills to practical use. We went to Spain this sum- mer and spent our time going to Burger King and discos at night, junior Sheryl Woomer said. I progressed to a point where I could speak fluently. Despite sharing their travels with unwanted company, band members found ways to enjoy themselves too, exploring places like Lake Charles, Louisiana. A group of band parents goes with us on our trips, junior Les Brooks said. If you can avoid them, the trips are a lot of fun. Providing a rare reprieve from scholastic monotony, aca- demically-related organizations traveled a long way for education. . if fl . 'f W , WORLD'S'BEST.
