Gimme A Break “Eat, talk, walk the hall, and smoke, maybe—that’s what we do at break.” Each morning at 9:55 we would make a dash for the soda and snack machines and dump hordes of change down their greedy throats. Or in an attempt to save money for the weekend, we brought food from home, but we still looked forward each day to break. The cases of sodas and snacks that we con¬ sumed would seem impossible, but we did devour them. Several cartons of cigarettes went “up in smoke” each day. We all had a place to be, and we were there because we knew our friends would be there waiting for us. We talked, laughed and caught up on the latest news. We relaxed and forgot about the pressures of study even if only for a few minutes. It seemed strange that the stairwells, the steps to the auditorium, or even the gym, that only moments ago were cold and lone¬ ly, could now be so warm and full of life. And then, all too soon, the bell would ring again and we were off, though rather slowly occassionally, to our sec¬ ond period class. Break was over and Break provides Patricia Pegram, Missy Waller, Denise Clary, Ricky Edmonds and Lisa Mayton with an opportunity to share a laugh before sec¬ ond bell. suddenly we remembered something we were supposed to tell our best friend, but now our fourth tardy was only seconds away. This important bit of news would have to wait until later—until tomorrow—until break!! Shoving money into the drink machine are Andy Walker, Jon Gibson and Joseph Bennett. Browsing through the Avon catalog, (r to 1) Mat- tie Hill, Annie Stewart, Sheila Hicks and Diane Fields try to decide what to buy. 20

Students Find Answers Relaxation, Friends, Quiet We learned about the LMC fast. We had to sign up to go in fourth period. We had to be quiet! From the first day we could tell this was not a place to goof-off!! But we learned that there were some fun things to do here. Magazines of ev¬ ery description could be found as well as several local papers. We didn’t have to spend our own money to read one of these, they were here for free. The LMC also came in handy for one other important facet of our time here—homework! With Ms. Cheely’s help we soon found out that we could Denise Mays realizes that sometimes, a quiet place to read a magazine can be very restful. find the answers to the most puzzling questions we had. There were projec¬ tors and records to help us understand and even a camera and VCR to help us improve our skills. One other item could be found in the library— books! We found them on ev¬ ery topic we could think of, and some we couldn’t. There were enough here to last us for quite some time. No, we couldn’t talk or play around in the LMC, but we could find a place to study, a place to quietly relax with a paper, or a place with all the informa¬ tion we needed.
