r Pizza, Spaghetti, Tacos, Ice Cream, Snickers, Potato Chips,... Bet you’re hungry now! The scent drifts slowly towards you, as it reaches your nose the grumbling in your stomach is present once again. The cooks downstairs have begun their daily ritual of food preparation to feed the famished multitudes in the cafeteria. Although it's not Riefe’s homemade delights, it does satisfy the cravings of the hard work- ing students on their break from classes. For some, waiting in line in the cafeteria is not the way to spend the lunch hour. The ever popular junk food is always to be found at Omer’s or Super America, and for those who have a free period. McDonald's or Happy Joe’s is a possibility. On Friday and Saturday nights, however, it’s Rudy's in the Fast Village. This is a second choice for those who can’t find any parties and for all the sophomores who weren't invited or couldn't get in. To relieve those midmorn- ing hunger pangs, various clubs came to the rescue by selling candy bars throughout the school year. Proof of these sales laid in the bottom of some select chem lab drawers, making their own distinct chemicals. What was the most popular item in these traveling candy stores? Snickers and M M’s of course. But whether it's cooking your own steak at the Old Oakes, munching out on alfalfa sprouts, or inhaling a pound of Nacho Cheese Doritos, it's all mmm. mmm good! - ANYTIME IS THE right time for Whitey's. and Andrea Kreiter and Amy Bolich take advantage of their lunch hour to try a chocolate and M-M shake, just one of the many specialty shakes at Whitey's.

He was rushed to the hospital. He had a classic case of cauliflower ear which he received from listen- ing to Bruce Spring- steen's Born in the USA” tape on his Walkman for three weeks straight! Has this happened to anyone you know? Probably not such a severe case, but up there with homework and parties, music played a major role in the lives of most Central students. But that is not to say music meant the same thing to everyone. From videos to buying records to concert-going, music is in the air. Music not only exists in different forms, but it influenced students to- day. MTV influenced teenagers’ hairstyles, clothing, dancing, driv- ing. and the way they act. Students glued themselves to the tube for hours just to see videos like Police's Synchroncity” and Van Halen’s Panama. Another way which music influenced teens N was the start of local bands. Two such bands were the popular Max Stout with Mike Lucas and another group made up of Hans Svebakken. Eric Olson. Manny Matthews and Mike Able. Two of the major groups which have made 1984 memorable were Prince and the Revolution along with the Cars. Prince took the world by storm star- ring in his first movie, Purple Rain.” Topping the charts were his songs. When Doves Cry, and Let's Go Crazy. The Cars rolled off excellent songs such as Drive and Magic. One student commented. The Cars are the group of tomorrow.” So as one can see music takes many different forms. Yet somehow in one way or another it touched everyone's life. Even if it meant a trip to the hospital with a case of cauliflower ear! CHEMISTRY.
