As I wait in line, my ears are overpowered by groans and moans.  The common complaint is the cost of Ring Dance tickets.  I look back and realize most of these complainers did not support the junior class at any of the fundraisers.

Whether it be Ring Dance or Prom, some students will always complain about the cost of tickets. The majority of them are the same students who neither show up to any of the fundraising events nor advertise them outside of JC.

Most of them don’t realize that the only way ticket prices will be lowered is if they help fundraise for their class. A bigger turnout at a Looney’s night equals a lower ticket price. It’s a simple cause-and-effect relationship.

However, the class, running the fundraiser, should promote the events by making announcements over the intercom and hanging decorative posters throughout the hallways. That way the student body will be aware of the event.

It would be lovely if all the students who are too cool to support their class graced the fundraisers with their presence. I understand if you can’t fit one night into your busy schedule, but at the very least, don’t complain about it.
