in the B.H.S. Cafeteria by Chris Imbimbo The bell, releasing me from study, rings and I rush to the cafeteria hoping not to be last on line. Reaching my destination, I discover that I’m last on line again. Suddenly, a group of seniors out in front of me, and my wait becomes longer. “Senior privilege,” they declare smugly. More seniors come. More waiting. After about five minutes on line, I reach the kitchen, and 1 can see the cuisine the cafeteria workers are trying to offer my taste buds. “Let me see, shall I sample the hot lunch or go with a soup and sandwich, or maybe just the sandwich? Decisions, decisions.” Deciding on the hot lunch, I pick up a styrofoam tray. “These trays are so flimsy. . .1 hope I can balance all the food I’m buying on the thing.” The food is poured onto the tray, and reaching the dessert section, more decisions have to be made. Seeing that the cashier is waiting for me, I reach into my pocket for the necessary change. You have to be an acrobat here to balance the tray making sure the food doesn’t fall off with one hand and reach for your money with the other. Giving the cashier all the change I could hold, she informs that I owe her five cents more. I feel the impatience of others behind me, “C’mon, get moving, we haven't got all day!” “Have some patience, will you?!” 1 shout back. Letting the student behind me pass while I reach for a nickel, I find one and deposit it into the cashier’s hand. “I’m bringing my lunch from home tomorrow. I can’t take the hassle waiting on line up there!” Successful Snack Bar by Chris Imbimbo For those who are less famished during lunchtime than other students, the BHS Cafeteria has opened a snack bar. The snack bar offers hot pretzels, and other desserts you would normally find in the kitchen. The snack bar adds convenience; just walk up to the snack bar and buy a snack, rather than waiting on the lunch line with students wanting a full lunch. The hot “Mister Twister” pretzels have been going like wildfire and many a student, during their lunchtime, can be found walking up to the snack bar and walking away with a pretzel in his or her hand. The opening of the snack bar has proved to be a success, and it seems to be here to stay.

 “But. . .but, Mr. D., I can’t serve a detention after school. I’ll miss General Hospital!” Capable of hurdling after school detentions, enduring any ten minute commercial interruption, and summariz- ing two months of episodes in one breath, the General Hospital fan is a specie commonly found hypnotized before the television every weekday afternoon from three to four. Faithfully, General Hospital addicts follow Scotty’s dirty deeds, Amy’s latest gossip, the break-up of Bobbie and Noah, Ann shedding her “goodie two shoes” image, and Lila’s manipulation of the E.L.Q. They watch Monica’s marriage crumple when Alan moves in with Susan even before the divorce is undecided. And, in the same episode, can see Rick and Leslie re-tie the knot and adopt little Mikey. Occasionally, they are hit with some- thing like murder, in this case, Diana Taylor’s. And, after a long drawn out affair, it is solved with Mrs. Grant found guilty of pulling the trigger while attempting to stop Heather. Now, Heather, after being accused of murder, must visit Dr. Cattsto determine her sanity and capability to adjust to society. Nevertheless, it is Luke and Laura, daytime tele- vision’s Bogie and Bacall, who draw the fans. Their wedding was the long awaited episode, the happily-ever- after ending. But, in General Hospital, there are always complications, and even a marriage made in heaven isn’t safe. Scotty’s pranks, Mrs. Casadine’s curse, and Laura’s disappearance might prove to be things Luke might not overcome. The never ending maze of General Hospital has lost hordes of General Hospital fans in its corridors. And, the fans thrive on all that General Hospital has to offer, scandal, murder, corruption, romance, and Tony Geary. 37 General Hospital by Chris Indoe
