Senior classmen selling ribbons
to promote spirit, pay for prom
‘ Ribbons are sold not only to
make money for the senior class,
but also to promote interest and
enthusiasm in athletic activi
ties," commented Tim Prahl,
senior class president.
Each week the senior class
averages $60 from ribbon sales
which goes toward senior prom
expenses.
Nancy Steele has been respon
sible for most of the sayings this
year. Colors are chosen at ran
dom.
“Marilyn Masters is in charge
of organizing ribbon sales this
year. Marilyn can be credited
with much of the success of the
ribbon sales, although everyone
concerned has worked excep
tionally hard this year,” com
mented Tim.
Each week between 1,000 and
1,300 ribbons are ordered from
the Watson Printing company.
The students receive the ribbons
Thursday afternoon and are busy
pinning and counting them for
the following day’s sale.
Sellers are divided into two
groups because over 90 people
signed up to sell.
