Tigers Growl for Munchies Ac What V3S a four-letter on the tips of students’ tongues? FOOD! There was junk food and the basics which most nutritionists say fall into the categories of meat, bread, and fruits and vegetables, and milk. Hun- gry students were munching at break- fast, break, lunch, snack, and supper and sometimes in between. Students found a variety of places to eat lunch off campus while many found the cafeteria the spot for the 40 minute period. Underclassmen bought food at nearby stores and picnicked near school grounds. Those with cars went home or out to the Sonic, Butch’s Barn, Ken’s Pizza, Dairy Queen, or Freeman's Drive-In . . . there was a plentiful supply of food! One of the favorite meals of the day was the snack which was gobbled down after school or before going to bed. Savoring the flavor of junk food, stu- dents preferred ice cream, potato chips, peanut butter, Fritos with bean dip, doughnuts, popcorn, nachos, Ding Dongs, and most originally large frozen pickles. a.

 Love was . . . Being Together was very true in some cases, especially to the boy-girl sit- uation. Being together with a boy or girl usually wound up in a date. Many guys took their gal to the newest movie premiere in Greenville or just settled for the drive-in in Commerce or still oth- ers felt the need for a date at the upcoming dance. But to some riding around, getting a coke, or just sitting in front of the T.V. was doing great! Being together didn’t always mean a date. There were football and basketball games, dances, assemblies, and even classes when stu- dents were together. They enjoyed seeing each other, catching up on the latest gossip, and just plain communicating with each other. Friends provided another means of together- ness. After school many girls piled in a car and rode around stopping at the local Sonic for a refresher. Girls enjoyed shopping together and if nothing else, just trying on clothes and never even buying a single item. They rode around, took quick drives to a nearby town, and had so- called slumber parties. Girls were not the only ones on the rampage, though: the boys always found things to do. Just like the girls, many boys hopped in a car, rode around, and got a coke. When boys were together, they did anything from helping each other on their cars to camping out. Boys went hunting, when the season was right, played in instrumental groups and played football and bas- ketball . When it came to being together high school played one of the biggest parts in students’ lives. School was where people met each other and social events took place. Once a student was in the hang of it, it was hard to sit alone at home without picking up the phone or looking at last year’s SREGIT. Being together was a combination Togetherness Is Living of many things, anywhere from girlfriends or just the person in the next seat in English. Being together . . . was Love. Being together . . . was great! ▲a ▲b Bruce Fox Luanne Funderburk Denny Gafford Ray Gholston Tim Gossett 18 Seniors
