The looks on most faces said l-lelpl Not yet! lt's too soon! as students re-entered the halls for the first time in nearly ten weeks. Fun-filled summer days and nights still occupied their minds, and most knew that Algebra or History class could never replace the sun-and-fun of summer. But back-to-school day wasn't all bad. Gossip and summer stories were exchanged in the hallways as friendships were renewed amid shrieks and laughter. Until . . . that ear-shattering tone sounded, signaling that the first day of school had officially begun. For the R-B staff, a last summer fling was provided by the R.B.E.A. at the All-Staff Picnic held at the Brookfield Zoo on Tuesday evening, September 4th, Under striped awnings, a Bohemian buffet was served to members of the Board, Administration, faculty, and support personnel and their families amid a festive atmosphere. Despite the rain, everyone seemed to have a great time as new friendships were made and old ones renewed.

Like horses out- of-the-gate, everyone stampeded toward the Bulldog lnn. Everyone, that is, except the daring few who snuck-out like cats- on-the-prowl for a real lunch at nearby Mr. Submarine or McDonald's. Inside the Bulldog lnn, frenzied students grabbed-for whatever was within reach. People ordinarily known for being quiet or studious seemed transformed into actual animals! lt was a scene reminiscent of feeding time at the nearby zoo, No wonder the zoo has so many signs warning Please Don't Feed the Animals! Cafeteria shelves were soon cleared of bagels, cookies, fruit pies, chips and other snacks. The cafeteria workers patiently doled-out hot lunches and the famous Bulldog Burgers to students with eagerly outstretched arms. Although the hot lunch line was fairly popular, it often included unfamiliar culinary delights such as the hot diggety hoagie and the chicken-cheese partie. Favorites on the hot lunch line were spaghetti and the tostada plate. But all too soon, after a sometimes chaotic and always hurried lunch, the tone sounded once again, class. and it was back to bf ai Student Life 9
