At another end of the building, one hour later, these same students may be drawing a vase of flowers, learning circuitry or pouring hydrochloric acid in a beaker. The school day of a lot of students simply means one thing after another. Getting to the bus stop on time in the dead of winter deserves a unit of credit itself. A student who doesn’t understand the grammar structure of a sentence in French but would rather go out to eat than get help has a life and death decision. When one has finally finished his math for the first time in almost half a grading period and forgets it in his locker and it can’t be turned in late the student is subject to temper tantrums or heart failure. But other times are mellower when a test has a big fat A on it, you made the team or getting through a day relaxed. So many things happen in a course of a school day that students just get used to it and take it in stride.

by Karen Reid tudents who, once upon a time, lived for recess, now think of lunchtime at Central with the same longing and respect. There are those students who zoom to the cafeteria to beat the crowd and avoid long lines. Other students crowd at the front entrance to wait on friends in order to go out to eat. If fourth or fifth or sixth hour’s assignment didn’t get finished for some reason the night before, lunchtime is the time that students get to the library and give ita try. There have been many sales people at lunchtime too. If one ever wants to buy a book, space in a newspaper, rings, a class t-shirt on “blue light’’ special or even mistletoe, some time during the year, someone will sell it to you. Basketball playing and basketball player watching go on in the gyms everyday and gossip is exchanged in many tones of voices. Lunchtime is most often the time to relax, laugh a lot and unwind just to gear up and get ready for the rest of the day.
