Half Hour Lunch Period Exciting For Many iiLunchI, More Than Just Eating aiting in line for a lunch at the new salad bar, celebrating a friend's birthday, or hustling to get homework finished were all part of the everyday atmosphere in the four lunch periods. Many exciting things happened in the lunchroom. For example, the Halloween dress up contest was judged during all lunch hours. Freshman Bob Merritt said, I dressed up because you can see how creative you can be compared to your friends. Celebrating a friend's birthday was also a favorite. Singing happy birthday and giving presents was the normal tradition. The Halloween painting contest which was held earlier in the fall, showed the talent of our student artists. Cash prizes were awarded to the placewinners. Many events sponsored by our student council were also held in the cafeteria. The annual slave auction was held for a different purpose this year. The student council donated the money to the Matthew Stacy Fund and the Butchie Cook Fund. liThe slave auction was pretty funny and held for a good purpose, quoted eighth grader Brian Wingate. SpiritWeek, also sponsored by student council, really let everyone show their wild side. tiSpirit Week was probably the funniest week of school, seventh grader Joe Joly added.
