OH. COME ON! Morning break offers interesting diversions as Val Crowley and Lisa Waller (left) survey the student center. SWEET SUNSHINE.

Warm weather enhances breaks Spring came as a relief, as the long, cold, and severe winter finally ended. Estes Park gratefully welcomed the warm weather, which at last allowed students to enjoy their breaks outside. Tanning, eating and talking seemed to be the main interests as students migrated to the greening courtyard during activity break and lunch. Activity break, or mid-morning break, started every day at 10:25 immediately after second hour ended, and lasted for 15 minutes. During this time, students had a choice of everything from eating doughnuts to studying for a test to come later in the day. The a la carte line was very popular, providing doughnuts, sand- wiches, drinks and other assorted foods for the hungry student. The library was also popular, being frequented by those wanting a quieter break reading or studying. Doing homework, attending class meetings, and talking to friends occupied other students’ minds. Some had difficulty deciding which meeting to go to, as often several were scheduled concurrently. Following the break, students attended two more classes before stopping for lunch at 12:25. Again, a myriad of choices awaited them. Often, if weather was good, almost half the school ate outside on the grass. The cafeteria staff was constantly reminding those “back to nature” people to return their trays. Few meetings were scheduled at this time. Usually the only ones were National Honor Society and Fellowship of Christian Students. The library was also closed for the half-hour lunch break. Many students chose not to eat at tables, instead sitting on the stairs, both those near the halls and those in the student center, or on the surrounding ledges. Many also preferred to bring their own lunches or to buy food from the a la carte line. Yogurt, chips, and salads were some of the many choices offered. Several students also went downtown to eat. Although often taken for granted, both of these break times offered many opportunities for students and faculty to relax from the normal school day schedule. Breaks 27
