nrt! 11 P l tt ' W ai Each day during the ritual of school Sandites were allowed a brief forty-five minutes to break for lunch. While some did their lunchtime dining in the school cafeteria, most chose to leave campus for their meal. By the time the lunch hour would finally make it, I would be about to die from hunger. My only goal would be to go and eat as quick as possible, exclaimed famished Sandite Jeff Miller. Squealing tires, honking horns, and the revving of motors are all a part of the ceremony which is triggered by the single sound of the lunch bell. As soon as the lunch bell sounded it was a race to see who would get out of the parking lot first. Unfortunately a wreck occured everyday, sighed Richie Griffin. Sandites with competitive blood often held food-eating contests to liven up their lunchtime rites. How can I forget the time we had a coney-eating contest and I ate 12.

After students arrived at their eating destinations each would hurriedly gobble down his meal and then the fun began. Koolee wars and ice fights were a constant threat to innocent bystanders as the Sandites participated in lunchtime activities. Lunch break seemed to make everyone crazy. Someone would get bombed with ice almost everyday. It was a continuous war, a drenched Vicki Scott proclaimed. Long lines of cars were often delayed by a revenging Sandite who would desert his automobile to run ahead and repay an enemy. Once I threw my truck into park, jumped out and started to throw a Koolee on the car behind me when I realized there was a policeman a few cars back. I made it back to my truck in record time, panted senior Darrel Barton. Lance Cheney recalls, I'Il never forget the time I mistook Mr. I'Iallford's station wagon for that of Lowell 'Mantis Man' Matthews.
