Cars reved up. people piled in, and from the parking lot there was an exodus to an area of Sandy known as Fast Food Row''. This area consisted of a McDonalds, a Wendys, A Dees, a Pizza Flut, a Taco Time, a Kentucky Fried Chicken, a Yummies, a McWil- lies, a Perkins, and A Godfather's Piz- za Parlor all contained in one blocks distance. Nowhere in the Salt Lake Valley could a person get so much grease per square inch. Of all these places students went to eat, McDonalds was the place attract- ing the majority of lunch goers. This was an everyday scene at Alta throughout the year. Many people who felt they needed a break, took off. The only complaint these people expressed was the fact that they had to rush too much. having only forty minutes to eat and get back for their next classes. Al- though the lunches were ten min- utes longer this year than last, tar- dies to fifth period were often a problem for those who left. When students were asked why they chose to drive off the school grounds to eat lunch, they replied in many different ways. I like to take a break away from school, replied one senior. School lunch is awful, stated another. And one freshman said, can't resist a Big Mac at noon. Even though the school supplied a nutritious lunch for the students at a very low price, many of them resist- ed and used their lunch times to get away. Although their lunches were probably not as nutritious, or as cheap, many still chose to rush for fast food at noon. JUNIORS '81
