With midnight snacks and refrigerator raids, students . . . Managed to master the munchies inner!” shouted Karla’s mother. As soon as Kar- la entered the kitchen, she knew she smelled her favorite meal. First, Mom would serve bean curd souffle smothered in beef liver sauce. Then came the boiled asparagus and seaweed soup. After that she would get a big helping of almond trail mix for dessert. Boy, was she ever hungry! Everyone enjoyes a good meal, some more than others and that noontime meal, lunch, is no exception. High school stu¬ dents spent their lunch period in or around the cafeteria. While a majority of Magnet’s students consumed the food offered to them from the school, some, like Janet Jansen, a senior, brought their lunches from horne. In a recent survey, Magnet students were asked where they would go to eat lunch if they were allowed off-campus privileges. Most preferred fast-food ham- burger places such as McDonald’s or Burg- er King because they were “convenient and cheap.” Some entertained thoughts of a bigger dimension, such as sophomore Cari Charping, who would go to Dinero’s, and sophomore Shani Atwood, who would go to T.S. Station. However, the school board does not yet allow students to leave campus for lunch. So, students must contend with the offer- ings of the cafeteria. “Gross!” exclaimed senior Melanie Eanes after taking one look at the schools frito pie. “Lets get out of here. I II find a candy bar or something . . . anything but this.” From the laughter of senior Diane Davis, it was obvious that she agreed. “This isn’t so bad,” drafting student Robin Trahan protested. “They have my favorite dessert — strawberry shortcake. Whatever the general consensus on cafe¬ teria food may have been, it was obvious that food in general held a special place in the heart. Candy salesmen did a booming business. Yearbook Coke sales were fast paced during the hot months. Whether dieting or bingeing, students were bound to have food on their minds at some time during the day. With all the choices — Mexican, Chinese, Italian — those thoughts could have been nothing but pleasant. Freshman John Quinley enjoys his lunch in the schools cafeteria. 16 • Student Life
