FLASH! DEET DA DEET DA DEET DEET DA DEET Dateline EHS—11:38 am Stomachs grown, ... 11:48 am still growling ... tick ... tick ... 11:59 • • • Nerves tense ... tick ... 12:00 pm. Two more minutes! ... 12:01 ... oh please ... 30 seconds ... 5 ... 4 ... RING! What does it mean? Why, it means freedom, it means opportu- nity, it means a balanced meal in- volving appropriate portions of the Five basic food groups. It means LUNCH! Most boys and girls bee- bop down to Nuke Burger or Cluck n’ Chuck. Bashful George saunters down the hall un- aware of his adoring public. Then they go to the counter and order one of those thingy burgers that weigh virtually an ounce, are an eighth of an inch thick, and almost that big in diameter. The fun part is getting your thingy burgers with katsup, pickles, and tomatoes, and discovering that it has onions, let- tuce, and secret sauce. This sauce is so secret” that it was created in an unsuccessful glue experiment. But, that's lunch. The congested halls at voting time, skillfully controlled by Mrs. Ivie. A typical female locker: all hunks in place. Lunch for Mr. Rossolo at 7-11 means much less than a balanced meal from the look on his face. Hey, what are we standing around here for? It's lunch time!

EHS had a Twist and Shout volley- ball season. The team members made it known that they were 1, but they had a lot of fun off the court too. Mrs. Hunton, the varsity coach, blowing a bubble. Mrs. Basanez, the assistant coach, gets ready to jump off of her swing. Most of us had played for three years on the varsity team, and we knew what it felt like to lose, too, because we’d been doing that for three years. We never got cocky be- cause we knew that we weren’t un- beatable, we were just pretty awe- some. All of that experience helped us do what we did. Jayme Brown echoes the thoughts of the whole team. It was working together that made them great, not being individ- uals out on the court. Inside the team—some of the things that the volleyball team had to say. THE FUN TIMES All the bus trips .. . meals when we sat down and talked like a family . . . doing everyone’s hair crazy coming home from Wendover . . . the hugs when we took State ... THE GREATEST MOMENTS Taking Zone and State—it seemed like a dream come true . . . winning State—it felt like nothing better could ever happen ... State—we all just hugged forever ... Jen had a one-set and I hit it straight to the ground ... State—the rest of the teams wished they could be as awe- some as we were ... THE MOST TEAM UNITY During our last match at State— everyone was so together .. before the state championship match in the warm-up room ... the things we did together off of the court. . . after our last match as State—you could see the love shine through . . . WHAT THEY WOULD DO DIF- FERENTLY Never lost a game in a match ... been more aggressive at times ... better attitude ... not a lot ... nothing ... absolutely nothing . . . Jennifer Smith and Brittani Kail—the dem- onstration of human pig noses. Student Life 27

 lear the hall—it’s lunch! Seven times a day the bell rings, releas- ing 900 pent up students into the hall- ways of four buildings. So much hap- pens in the five minutes before classes that trying to keep track of it all could send someone into shock. Before school is the mad rush to finish the assignments that somehow got lost in the locker the night before. After first hour it is necessary to run and find someone with American history first hour so that the vocabulary questions on the test won’t be a surprise. If you have to go to the bathroom, you’re out of luck because you only have four minutes to get to the next class. Be- tween 2nd and 3rd, you always see that special person, but today he or she didn’t say hi, so you are crushed and worry about it and pout about it all during 4th hour. When you see all of the nice photos in your locker, you feel better. There are other fish in the sea— Your afternoon is terrible. You man- aged to drop all of your colored pen- cils in the middle of the hall of the junior building. What a nightmare! Ten people destroyed the feelings in your hand with their feet. You got the §2 test in history, and all of your an- swers are wrong. Walking down the hall after 7th, you feel the tiredness sink into your shoulders, and you feel the book bag make one side of your body droop lower than the other. It is the end of the day, and you won- der why the teachers have those silly smiles on their faces. Maybe they are stuck there. What a way to end the day— Otto, Steve, and Jerry take a seat at the Stock- men's and contemplate on grub.
