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

Pursue a Hobbie for Relaxation utside of the everyday school activities, Oar have a number of other activities. Students select hobbies to offer enjoyment, friendships, knowledge, and relaxation. Sometimes they even yield financial profit. Lanier students are involved in a variety of hobbies: playing soccer, arranging an aquarium, writing songs, playing for a gospel group and becoming a fashion designer. The interests of students also vary. Some are interested in studying parapsychology, while others are a part of the Society of Creative Anacronism, which is a medievil historical group. Senior John Grewelle selected an Irish background to study and adopt in this fun group which meets on Sunday afternoons to battle it out in full armor. Dora Woods began writing songs five years ago and began sending them off for publication. She signed a musical contract in October and hopes that profit will follow this special interest of hers. Alicia McGee began to take jazz, tap, ballet, and gymnastics thirteen years ago. Alicia said she really did not know if these interests were responsible for giving her the title of All-American Cheerleader, but “dancing is a great opportunity to get in shape and have fun at the same time.” Renee Giles takes a break to get a fitting of LaShon Brantley in order to design a dress to showoff at the band banquet. Taking a break from cheering, Christine Rudolph catches up on the latest material of parapsychology. 30 Hobbies, Interests
