Students were given $20,000 in fake money to start and could increase their funds by playing bingo, gambling at the "casino" or competing in activities.

Graduating seniors from all of the Columbia high schools had the opportunity to celebrate together at an all-night party Saturday at Hearnes Center at MU.

Parents and business leaders organized the event to help keep teenagers from using drugs and alcohol on graduation night. The theme was “I-Party," and students could win prizes including computers, televisions, stereos and furniture.
