Value of the Lunchroom ay “lunchroom” and one would usually think of eating. But Lanier’s lunchroom provided much more than just the noontime meal. For most it was a place to socialize as well as eat. Throughout the year the lunchroom maintained a pleasant atmosphere for reading or relaxing. It was a place where students spent time to study or just to relax. There were two sides to the lunchroom: the quiet side where students studied and did schoolwork, and the loud side where students read magazines, visited with friends, or just relaxed. There were teachers who were in the lunchroom who saw that everything ran peacefully. The lunchroom was also used to serve breakfast. It was also a gathering place before school where students could buy doughnuts and juice and talk with their friends. The lunchroom has proven to be very helpful for students to do anything they need to do before school or during their lunchtime. John Blackmon, Wilmer Jordan, Earthy Thompson, and Charles Belser gather in the lunchroom to discuss the Jeff Davis-Lanier basketball game. Russel Mathews, Calvin Shivers, Juanita Hudson and Jimmy Dixon try to think of something besides food. Desiree Davis expresses her humor by laughing at her friend’s joke. 28 Lunchroom
