TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS OF SENIOR FINANCES Have you ever tried reaching for a star? Last fall our senior class mentally drew an analov between reaching for a star and the tremendous task of rais- D D ing one thousand dollars for the finest year-book ever published at our Alma Mater. Nothing was too far fetched, we Seniors felt. We can laugh now about the day the three scatter brains ton a darej shined students, shoes for six cents a shine. The incentive for the shines was the black and orange state-ri-o-tic shoe laces they sold. Many joyous days were spent in the art room creating the latest fashions in jewelery. P. S. T. C. girls artistically modeled those out of this world creations. Come get your tickets-five cents apiece! iiWh21f,S going on P Two delicious homemade cakes are being raifled by the senior class, of course. Then just one month later this call was heard: Tickets-three for a quar- ter. Naturally, it was THOSE seniors again. This time we were raffling a very lovely lucite necklace and bracelet combination. The tickets went like ciga- rettesf' We seniors were not alone in our efforts to raise this money. The junior class took advantage of Carries dessertless Fridays, and sold cake that was contributed by members of their class. Then they very generously turned over these proceeds to us. The senior class takes this opportunity to express our grateful appreciation to the 1946 seniors, and to sincerely wish them unlimited success in all of their undertakings. In one of our money making schemes , we really added something nice to the college day. Twice a week, during the lunch hour, co-eds could be found in the gym cutting a rug or dancing smoothly to the solid strains from a juke box. Here the Hfroshll gave their assistance to the class. Wlmile we were out practice teaching the freshmen took over the noontime dances. Wluen we came back they presented us with all the returns from the dance tickets. Wfe express our thanks to the freshmen for their wonderful assist- ance, and wish them a glorious struggle and adventure, in the typical pioneer spirit, throughout their years at State. The largest of our undertakings was that of giving a minstrel. Much preparation and many months of rehearsing went into this. However, the re- sults were inost gratifying. This show included not only seniors, but under- classmen and outside talent. At times words are exceedingly inadequate, but within each senior's heart lies the grateful appreciation that is felt for all the aid the students and in- structors have given us. 48
