Set Free ... At 11:30 Watch out! All around you hey stampede. If you were to )ut your ear to the floor, ou ' d hear the rumble a mile way (not to mention being lattened by the crowd.) No, tiis isn ' t the scene of a sold ut concert — even though it light be, or the mass hysteria f a Dec. 24th shopping pree — although it could be, lis is the frenzy that occurs 1 the halls only seconds fter the glare of the lun- hbell each school day. To an utsider, masses of students )iTiing the mad race to the afeteria might appear range, but around here it ' s le norm. For those who don ' t eat, ist leaning around and olding up the walls in the allway, talking to friends. and watching the people go by fills most of the lunch hour. Others catch spring fever when the weather warms up and nobody can get enough of it. Throwing snowballs goes out of style and tossing frisbees around outside becomes the thing to do. If you find frisbees dull, you can always go into the gym and work out shooting baskets, slamming ping pong balls, or spiking the poor fellows in the front row of the opposite volleyball team. Others catch their exercise from time to time while bum- ming around in the halls. Paper baseball games have been known to spring up in the middle of the senior hall. Also, on the day of the first snow, Mrs. Gorman was un- fortunate enough to walk right into the line of fire of a snowball fight— in the mid- dle of the hallway! After wip- ing off the excess snow, she was able to narrow the suspects down to about fif- teen innocent, smiley-faced seniors! That just about covers it.

Threads we wore. At the turn of the century, some clothing tastes existed that have reappeared. Preps now wear Windsor collars and thin ties; although, those hats are gone forever. In the early fifties, grease hair tonic filled men ' s hair. Later in the decade, young men had very lit- tle hair to fill with tonic. Button down collars disappeared and show- ed up in the eighties. Lately, fashions have gotten somewhat liberal, on dress day that is. Prepped up. Those plaid skirts, straight legs, and button downs from the fifties are back and big as ever.
