Fast food rules at CHS Sammy Senior: Wow, man, I’m so hungry I could eat a raw dog! Johnny Junior: Yeah! Dad let me have the car today, so I can drive us somewhere. Stevie Sophomore: Can I go too? Can I go too? Sammy: Well, uh, yeah, okay. Where will we go? Stevie: Let s go get some veggies! I love raw celery and cauliflower! Johnny: Gag me! Sammy: I’m sure! Let's go to McDonald's or Burger King. Stevie: I was just kidding. Let’s go! Soon: Stevie: You’re getting three burgers, two milkshakes, fries, one of each kind of pie, and cookies?!?!? Sammy: Hey, a man’s gotta eat. Stevie: I guess. Johnny: We had a big fight at our house about where to go for supper last night. I wanted to go to Godfather’s. Mom wanted to go to Pizza Hut, my sister wanted to go to Barnie’s, and my little brother wanted to go to Long John’s because they were giving away Superman glasses with pop. Just what I always wanted Sammy: So where did you finally go? Johnny: Well, Dad came home and wanted to go to Bonanza because he said it was a decent meal, but fast. So that settled it. We really eat out a lot. Mom says she doesn’t have time to cook, when nobody’s there to eat it anyway. Stevie: Hey, we better get back. It’s almost 12:20. That food really hit the spot, though! Such were the eating habits at CHS in 1979-80. Students made frequent “McDonald’s runs” or stopped for a bite to eat at one of the other fast food or pizza restaurants in town. Part of the reason for the fast food’s popularity was because it was just that — fast. Since students, like society as a whole, seemed always in a hurry, at times there was really no alternative. Fast food restaurants appear to have established themselves as a vital part of student life. ABOVE: Christy Lambrecht looks up from her lunch in the Cafeteria.
