Favorite Eating Places 1. McDonald’s 2. Pizza Hut 3. Roy Roger's 4. Chesapeake Bay Seafood House 5. Pepperoni Stick !;! Ah, the pleasures of life! What ;;; could be a better way to spend time than to eat, drink, and be merry? Not much, according to !;l most students this past school year. Dining out was a popular way !;! to spend a Friday night, whether it was at an elegant restaurant, such as Barclay’s, or a family style ;;j eatery, like Pizza Hut. Ice cream i;j parlors, pizza places, and fast food restaurants were well liked, though I;! some insisted that sitting at home j;j eating popcorn tasted just as j;| good. At lunch, many students j;i went back to brown bagging it, br- l;i inging ham and cheese, chicken l;l and good ol' peanut butter and jel- ly sandwiches to school. In the language department, classes often had “cultural experiences with foods from the countries where their languages were spoken. But the time students pro- j'i bably ate the most was during holidays. A wide assortment of candy was munched on at Hallo- x ween, and turkey, potatoes, stuff- ing, and pies were “gobbled up during Thanksgiving. It was hard deciding what to eat, but one thing was for sure: once one started to x eat and drink, it was hard to stop. ■lixxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx: 38 In Orbit :: Gg Shawn Bevan enjoys the school cafeteria's food during “D lunch.

Flight 90 On Wednesday, January 13, Air Florida Flight 90 crashed into the 14th street bridge, flattening four cars and a truck before plunging into the icy waters of the Potomac River. Rescue workers worked long into the night trying to retrieve the passengers of the Air Florida wreck, but only five out of the 76 people on the plane survived. Only three people whose car had been flattened by the plane survived. Rescue operations were hampered by rush hour traffic and some of the worst winter weather the Washington Metro had seen in many years. Investigations into the cause of the accident were begun with possible causes being ice on the wings and little visibility. In- vestigation procedures were sped up with the help of the voice recorder and flight data boxes. People such as Lenny Skutnik, who rescued one of the surviving passengers from drowning, fire, police, and rescue departments, and the hundreds of blood donors would be remembered for their eagerness to help their fellow man. up, Up, And Away Forty seconds to go, then the space shuttle Columbia would take its second voyage into space. Suddenly, with a little more than thirty seconds before take off. the flight was delayed. The cause for delay was an oil clog in two aux- ilary power units. Two days later, the flight was re-scheduled. In- stead of the five day stay in space, the shuttle was brought down three days early. Many people gathered to watch the shuttle's re- entry. The crowd, tense with ex- citement. looked up at the sky where a faint speck was coming toward them. Yelling and jumping up and down, the crowd saw the shuttle make another perfect lan- ding.
