The Cost Of Living Killed Us In '79 CSB 872 bs finds that even gas saving cars have to be fed. Where did the cash come from? Whether one squeezed it from a part time job or borrowed it from parents, it was a big deal. There were always necessities. At 65¢ and rising, only a couple of gallons could be put in the tank, but it kept the smaller, gas saving, economy cars running-for awhile. Cigarettes were 65¢ a pack. They were cheaper by the carton, but harder to hide. Haircuts for both boys and girls were expensive. Prices ranged from $6.00 for a simple trim to $20.00 or more for shampoo, cut and styling. Movies or concerts were the big money grabbers. It's worth $4.00 to see "Superman", then add another $1.25 for the jumbo bucket of buttered popcorn. Homecoming week emptied the pockets of Eisenhower students. It cost $1.00 for a button, $3.50 for the campout, $3.00 for a t- shirt, $1.00 for the dance and at least $1.00 spent on Flowergrams. This proved that even school spirit cost more this year. Going out for a bite to eat after the game was almost luxury for those without jobs. It cost 40-50¢ for a large Coke and then another 75¢ for french fries. Even a Wendy's burger hit over a dollar if one added cheese. There were good times, but if one checked the expenditures, it's lucky that high school is only three years long.
