The projected budget calls for a total of $16,200 to cover the cost of entertainment, food, decorations, clean-up and other necessary functions.

The idea, said organizers, is to keep the students at the party instead of out drinking. According to Reid, drawings will be held each hour from 11 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. for the large prizes, such as a television set and a 35 mm camera. But the big prize will come at the end of the evening, when Project Graduation will draw for a new car to be given to some lucky senior. But, that se- nior must be present to win. Rev. Bob Collins of Kings Mountain, who has been actively involved in the Project Graduation planning, notes that businesses are needed to help make the party one where students will want to stay. "Our biggest thing," he said, "is we need businesses to give prizes that will help keep seniors there so Prizes will be given they won't leave the party and go out drinking." And there should certainly be enough to keep students interested. Two bands are slated to perform, Leggz from Charlotte and Staircase from Raleigh. Two DJ's will be, there for the event, Cap 'n Sam and,’ Bridger Medlin. There will also be a talent show, a fireworks demon- stration at midnight, and possibly a fashion show. In addition, noted Reid, there will be "all the food they can possi- bly eat for the rest of their life" with donations from Arby's, Dominos Pizza, Coca-Cola and several other vendors offering enough food to feed an anticipated 1,000+ students who will attend. To help raise the remainder of the funds needed to make the party possible, the schools will jointly participate in several projects, such as Penny Power, a competition to see which school can raise the most in coins. There will also be a car wash on May 20 at the K-Mart in Shelby. Students from Burns will man the car wash from 9 a.m. til 11 a.m., Shelby will wash from 11 a.m. til 1 p.m., Kings Mountain will wash from 1 p.m. til 3 p.m and Crest will finish the day from 3 p.m. til 5 p.m. Members of the committee will also man a booth at Springfest at the Cleveland County Square on May 6. There they will be handing out samples of non-alcoholic drinks, selling T-shirts, and taking donations. To help make the event a reality, the Project Graduation steering committee needs the help of the public and the business community in the form of volunteers and dona- tions.
