ut to lunch - a matter oi' AST unch . . . Ahh, a time to relaxg but not for those who left campus to eat. The break between classes often became a frantic rush for food. The bell to end fourth period was a starting gun for lunch. lt was a challenge to get back on time, told sophomore Steve Anderson. The most important part of going out to lunch was getting back on time. Stu- dents were forced to pay stiff penalties for being late to fifth period as teachers tried to crack down on after-lunch tardi- ness. Between getting to the car, driv- ing there, ordering the food, and getting back, there's barely any time to eat, explained senior Dominic Gonzales. One of the biggest questions posed by students going out to lunch was whether to eat at the restaurants or bring lunch back to the quad. By bringing it back to the quad, students were able to hear the bell to fifth period. But often, students such as Hollie Willis liked to enjoy the off-campus atmosphere. lt was fun just knowing we were supposed to be at school and we weren't. Choosing where to go was, many times, one of the topics of fourth period discussions. Students were unlimited in the types of foods that were offered to them. They could have the traditional McDonald's and Burger King foodg or, some people preferred submarine sand- wiches, chicken, tacos, or even pizza. We always disagreed on where to go, so we let a different person pick every day, reasoned junior Michelle Wood- ruff. Although the quality of the food was much better off campus, students ran into many problems. For freshmen and sophomores, the lack of transportation kept them in the quad. For others, talk- ing Mom and Dad into signing their lunch permit was a difficulty, Being able to go off campus at lunch helped the students break the everyday rut and gave them an alternative to the lunch time activities offered in the quad. l liked leaving for lunch because the change of scenery kept me from getting bored of school, mused senior Eric Mc- Namara. by Todd Kummer ot while l'm eating.

Back in the Hlgh Llfe: a ASI-I o say the least, homecoming this year was memorable. News of the dance being held at Clark Com- munity Center instead of the Glendale Civic was met with mixed emotions, but that didn't spoil the festivities. The traditional class dress-up days re- ceived much participation and some bi- zarre outfits. The freshmen went Hawai- ian as they put on some of their best beach clothes. Next came the sopho- mores reverting back to the glorious age of the hippies. Juniors again stayed ca- sual and threw on sweats and T-shirts. Last, and certainly not least, came the ever-popular senior nerd day. The best were the nerds, commented junior Kar- mel Tabamo. l couldn't keep a straight face whenever l saw one. The activities and games of the week also met wide success. Kazoos, pom- pons, and mugs filtered through the school quickly. Of course, who could forget the best legs and best buns com- petitions. The annual bonfire wrapped up the week in its usual awesome fash- ion. Spirit was then uplifted beyond hu- man capacity when the Varsity football team demolished Arcadia in the home- coming game. The week, however, was not over. Fri- day night came and so did the awaited dance, Back in the High Life. Al- though it occurred in the new surround- ings ofthe Clark gym, the outcome was the same. l was a little uncertain about what it was going to be like at Clark, remarked sophomore Shane Cowsill.
