Some of the students’ hard-earned money goes to staying in style as evidenced by Brenda Owens, making a crucial decision at the Colony Shop. As Chuck George and attendant Charles Waits watch the gas gauge roll on. Ted and Bill Pope find that their tank is full and their pockets are empty. Money madness Money, money, money! As the doors of the school opened, the pockets and purses of all were steadily emptied for a number of things. Grumbling, students doled out dollars for registration fees, club dues, and pictures. It is not uncommon to see students harassed by juniors selling mums and t-shirts. Although the junior class did not exceed the goal of last year’s mums, the profit was a success. The seniors especially felt the crunch as their rings arrived quite early and balances had to be paid. Soon after, the photographer arrived and as the seniors ruefully reached into their savings once more, many wondered what else would spring from the hole called Expense. Surprisingly enough, students never complain about money spent for the car, food, and dates (though their parents assuredly do). Dressing in style is also expense ignored. After the games many businesses profit greatly from students who don’t seem to mind — the crunch is never felt when you’re having fun.

A perfect climax The beat of the tomtom, the acrid smell of smoke in the air, and the mournful sound of funeral chants filled the air emanating from Senior hall. Well, almost. The seniors did build an Indian funeral platform in preparation for the “burying of the Jackets’ opponents — the Pocahontas Redskins. Homecoming week began with the spirits high and everyone participating in the festivities. The festivities included dress-up days and hall decorations. The dress-up days ranged from tacky to country and western. Each day was a different sight, for the costumes were different each day. One day it was clowns and the next cowboys and Indians. Friday marked the last day of the festivities and that was blue and gold day with the seniors winning the hall decorations. As the week ended, the excitement grew for the most climactic point of the Homecoming week. That, of course, was the Friday night game. Nervous fans filed into the stadium and awaited the kickoff. Slowly the nervousness fled and was replaced by jubilation as the last buzzer sounded. The Yellowjackets had scalped the Redskins by the tremendous score of 35 to 6. Preparing for Ihe bonfire, Darrell Hess, Brian Millon, Bryan Gahr, and Greg Hess pile up the boxes to be burned in the parking lot. 14 Homecoming
