High School Graduation Party

I am hosting a graduation party for about 60-70 people. 20 of them are teenagers, and 6 are under the age of 10. The rest are all adults. We are having hamburgers, hotdogs, fried chicken, brats, baked beans, baked mac&cheese, pasta salad, and potato salad. Can you tell me how much of each I should estimate on?

I would figure this as 3/4 of 100 for quantities from my lists. Here are my suggestions.

hamburgers, 50
fried chicken, 70 pieces
brats,hotdogs, consider combining- about 30 pieces
rolls and fixings from the sandwich page

baked beans, 2 1/2 gallons
baked mac&cheese, 6 pounds dry pasta plus add-ins

pasta salad, 3 pounds dry pasta
potato salad, 20 pounds potatoes

Consider adding either 2 gallons of slaw or 6 pounds green salad plus 2-3 quarts assorted dressing
