■ THIS IS INTERESTING — Sopho- more Matt Mosebrook and fresh- man Marcus Jenkins participate in a Homecoming spirit activity as senior Heather Solliday directs traffic. ▼ PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE - Junior Tasha Swain pays for her lunch as the people behind her await their turn. I DON ' T HAVE A STRAW - Ju- Mark Walsh uses a spoon to drink his Ocean spray Cran-Rasp- berry juice. iV ( T JUST A TAD HUNGRY - Caught ' in an awkward pose, junior Nicole I Sicotte devours her lunch. CiaLed coMpui = homlm, Uiailo, cud kcluod food L unch is my favorite subject, said math teacher Pete Wilt. It seems that the student body agrees. But why is lunch so popular when all there is to do is eat, socialize, cram for that history test, and people-watch? Senior Aimee Masgai found that watching Ryck Daniels do the chicken walk in the planter by the choir room and watching people suck on each other ' s lips was pretty interesting. While Aimee depended on people-watching for en- tertainment during the lunch hour, others found different ways to amuse themselves. I threw an or- ange over the railing and hit someone on the head, said junior Scott Valley. Sophomore Hillary Man- sur, on the other hand, had some fun with a mustard packet. I accidently squished it and got mustard all over my hair and my new outfit, she said. Oranges and mustard didn ' t appeal to senior Alan Chemers, however. I scam on the girls, he said. But while Chemers found checking out the chicks to be a worthy activity, senior Billy Martinez found it diffi- cult to notice the girls through the trash. If the students had any respect for the school they would take care of their own trash. The trash cans aren ' t there for decorations, he said. Junior Laurie Bloomberg echoed this sentiment when she said, The construction workers must think we ' re pigs. Every day there ' s a ton of trash in front of the rally stage and once in a while there ' s something splattered on the windows. Complaints were also many and loud when one mentioned the quality of the school food. The burritos look like a baby ' s dirty dia- per, said junior Kathleen Wickert. So what ' s the solution to boredom, trash, and gross cafeteria food? Open cam- pus? Not a chance! But sen- ior Tiffany Crosswy had one last plea for the Lost Cause. Del Taco and Winchell ' s both went out of business after they closed the cam- pus, she said. Shouldn ' t we have some sympathy for the business community that supports our education? 15
