Out for Money Money! Everybody wonts it ond everybody was out to get it. Cor washes, donees, bake soles, ond order form sales were the biggest ways for clubs to earn money lost year. The problems were evident, however. A lock of student par¬ ticipation was the biggest one. The bond and orchestra took core of this problem by offering awards and prizes to the best sellers. They held o drawing for the chance to play the pick board and win some money. Senior Tommy Barrett com¬ mented, It only took o short time to sell our products and after I won nine dollars I thought it was worth the effort. The National Honor Society and crew club had the most fund raisers. Both clubs needed the money very badly and were not about to be denied the chance to earn it. They had a total of eight car washes and six bake sales between them. Ricky Beale remarked, I en¬ joyed coming up with ex¬ travagant plans to rake in some real money.” It was that kind of attitude, that Ricky Beale possessed, that club sponsors wished everyone had. The money was out there and all the students had to do was go and get it. I ' ve got to get the top . Sophomore Cheryl Anderson reaches over the top of o cor to try ond wash it with soop. At the cor washes jobs were divided so that everyone would hove something to do. Why did I get stuck doing this? Sophomore Tony Sheperd takes core os he washes the window of o cor. Most of the students preferred the job of rinsing to that of washing bur everyone hod to work. How much if I buy oil of them? Senior Clinton Johnston asks about the cookies os Gloria Noll ond Jessica Bird look over the merchandise. Students enjoyed buying on afternoon snock in the school’s lobby. 14 Student Life
