While Killing Time In The Lunch Line. . . People had many different ways to avoid boredom in the long lunch lines. Various juniors were asked. How do you kill time while waiting in the lunch line? Stephanie Harman: I think about whether the lunch will taste good or bad. Curt Eldredge: I look at the girls in line and talk about them. Kyle Steadman: I think about get- ting in the front of the line with no one seeing me. Mike Craig: I just b.s. the time away with my friends. Rhonda Cleaver: I think of how many other people have had my fork in their mouths. Ellesa Walton: I wonder how many people around me can hear my stomach growl. Becky Kelson: I wonder if it's safe or not to eat lunch. Sherry Burgos: My mind would wan- der to the cute guy in front of me. The human mind is a marvelous thing.

Left In Dark? We All Were! r You are sitting in a closed room. It is dark and eerie. Only one light is left on to illuminate the large room. Your formerly brightly lighted sur- roundings are now reduced to a squinty-eyed reality. There are oth- er people all around you, peeping through the darkness. Is this a bad dream? Should you be ofraid? Of course not! Why? Be- cause you have just experienced a typical blackout at Alta High. Because of the lack of windows in classrooms, electrical blackouts of- ten result in a break from class work. When the mercury vapor classroom lights are shut off, even for one sec- ond, they take at least ten minutes to come on, because they have to cool off before they can come back on. In the halls, the heavy, metal fire doors separating hallways slam shut, and heating and cooling systems shut off. Sometimes bad weather causes the power outages, and often con- struction workers in the area shut off power temporarily to make housing hookups. Although there are problems in- volved with bldckouts, students do not think much of them. Many look back on the first week of school when a car smashed into an electri- cal pole and disrupted electricity long enough for school to be dis- missed for the last two periods of the day. Times like that, make many consider blackouts as an advan- tage (especially the students).
