Whoo's Eating Lunch? by Rae Anne Carr Having a time for lunch dur- ing the school day is a state law. Agua Fria has a full class period Q55 minutes during a reg- ular schedulej for lunch, as compared to 30 minutes at many other schools Qsuch as Brophy and Xavierj. This time means many things to AF students. lt's a time to: finish homework, run home to check the mall, read in the library, visit with friends, sleepy or sometimes just eat. When asked what she used her lunch period for, Lori Rit- chey, senior, replied, Study, because there's nothing else to do. She is among the students who reluctantly accepted a schedule with third or sixth hour lunch. There has been a lot of controversy about the shorter menu and ordering time fone-half hourj given to these students. Jamie Maslyn, sophomore, complains about her much too late sixth hour lunch peri- od, There aren't any people out there and there isn't the same food . . . and they don't have the activities that they do fourth and fifth hours, like Homecoming and Spring week' noontime activities. lt's bor- ing! Of course, no matter what hour students have lunch, the main purpose is for them to consume food. ln general, food has become a popular subject in the C.l.S. lt seems that every- one is trying to eat the right things, to avoid cancer tif that is possiblej or become mentally Right: Rachel Brockey, junion is lunching in the school cafeteria. andjor physically stronger. Some people are even trying to avoid food altogether in order to slim down to the faddish thin, Most people love the sight and taste of foodg and for some, it is more than just a source of energy - it's an addiction. I love food more than life itself! Liz Lessard, junior, exaggerates about her attitude towards eat- ing. Kym Hayes, senior, has a unique attitude towards eating, l eat because I have to eat to keep healthy. lfl had a choice, l wouldn't eat because food isn't interesting to me. - AL
