The cafeteria clan meets daily to hash out discussions. An annual June custom is the scrawling ot' names and nostalgic messages in each others yearbooks. Certain groups spring up spontaneously. The same table in the cafeteria magically draws closely-knit groups each day. Riding to and from school pro- vides a half an hour of conversation for students living in the same neighborhood. Difficult tests bring classmates together for hours of studying. Couples going steady and students hurriedly explaining details of their previous classes or plan- ning an evening get-together during the short five- minute passing period are also routine events that group students.

These individual groups may never have any connection with one another, but they all combine to form Anderson High School.
