Please Don't Feed the Animals This killer-of-attention struck all R-Bites daily at 10:50 a.m. Students' mouths began to water and they grew hot-under-the-collar as a feeling of excitement filled the air. What was it? What else but feeding time at Riverside-Brookfield High School! When the tone for A lunch sounded, the daily race began. 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

Each day, eager hands reached for a variety of favorite lunchtime goodles at the Bulldog lnn. While Mabel Land served-up warm home-made doughnuts ln the faculty cafeteria, Diane Steinhous made quick work of an Ice cream sandwich. 8 Student Life

For the Marching Band, which this year included the Puppettes, the high-point of the fall came at the Boiler Competition in Bradley, Illinois. In the words of Puppette Captain Stacy Riess, lt was an awesome experiencel Within a half-hour period of time, the band arrived in Bradley, per- formed, and danced away with a 1st Place Trophy, while the Color Guard earned a Best-of-Show Award. The Band, lacking somewhat in size with only 65 members including Puppettes, made-up for their size with what Mr. lovinelli, Band Director, called super spirit. lt must have been super spirit that was shaking the bus as the band rode home victorious. A bigger band with that much spirit could have posed a major threat to the safety of the entire Illinois Highway System! When asked about the Band's overall attitude, Mr. lovinelli replied that the group was perfectionistic as well as enthusiastic. A fairly young group, with the average member being of sophomore level, it was a group very high in quality nonetheless. Mr. lovinelli stated his preference for a small, hard-working group over a larger group that is less so. All through its numerous foot-pounding parades, the R-B Band has been a shining star. The Band's half-time performances both looked and sounded great, adding real razzle-dazzle to the football games. This was one organization that R-Bites could truly be proud of! 10 Student Llfe Percusslonlsts Heidi Molovek, Chris Wysod, and Ed Pec added zest to the Band's performances.
