22 FOOD Who could survive without junk food'-' SWEETS, SANDWICHES, FRIES, and pizza. Who could live without them? Junk food was a big part of high school life. Because the golden arches was just around the corner, many students ate there morning, noon and night. Grandy's was another close place where students ate after late night rehearsals and practices. Two of Grandy's biggest customers were seniors Cindy Thomas and Stephanie Sample. Steve's ice cream was paradise for those who loved ice cream. They fixed it every way a person could have thought. If in doubt about what to eat, pizza could always be ordered. One place that served it quick and easy was Brothers Pizza. Mexican food was probably the biggest hit with the students. One of the popular places to go for Mexican food was the Blue Goose. Without junk food, many of the students might not have survived high school. After late evenings working on the annual, seniors Stephanie Sample and Cindy Thomas en- joy hearty home cooking from Grandy's. Their usual meal includes chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, cole slaw, dinner rolls, iced tea, and cinammon rolls. V P Senior Erin Estran and freshman Chad McCaskil grab a bite after school to relax after a long, hard day. Everyone's favorite, Whopper, costs 81.79 plus large fries 790.

Ooh, give me a break!! IT WAS ONE TUESDAY afternoon during just a regular football practice when it happened. We were drill hit- ting and my toe got stuck in a hole or crack in the ground and I fell down, recalls senior Chris Traynor. He later found out he had torn some cartilage and pulled ligaments. Now he has to go to Texas Sports Medicine once a week to exercise with leg weights for therapy. The worst thing about it is that l'll be on crutches for four to five weeks and l'm out of football. Sophomore Mandy Williams who tore some ligaments playing soccer at the beginning of the year. All I remember is waking up after surgery, said Man- dy about the ordeal. Her injury has definitely affected her JV cheerleading and soccer. She'll be on crutches for three months and has to go to therapy a lot. Mandy is hoping to play soccer again in May. Playing sports seems to be extremely dangerous. lt is no exception with with junior Mike Weinstein. Mike was outside in his backyard playing basket- ball. He twisted his knee which ended up punching into his cartilage. lt felt like a thousand little needles poking me at the same time! recalled Mike. He ended up having arthroscopic surgery at ten o'clock in the morning at Plano General Hospital. That's where they have to shave off the kneecap, said Mike. After surgery, they put on a neuromuscular stimulator to stop the pain for a couple days. All it does is contract the muscle. Now, he spends four to six weeks in therapy to help build back the muscle around his knee. After all that, hopefully he'll be as good as new. It used to be that guys received all the athletic injuries, but today with the liberation movement, it seems that in- juries to knees seem to be about equal. Kids are hobbling all over the halls and going to physical therapy to mend their bones.
