WHAT ' S FOR LUNCH? “Hey, does anybody know what they’re having for lunch today?” How many times did students ask this question during the course of the year? Lunch — part of school ac- tivities and school routine. Lunch — a welcomed time to satisfy hunger or to give the mind a brief rest from classes and studies. Lunch — the study period for habitual procrastinators. The lunches themselves were sub- jeet to much criticism and abuse as is j the usual tradition and practice. How- ; ever, the way in which the lunches were offered and served was changed for the better. Due to Mrs. Farnam, 1 the cafeteria manager, menus were j expanded to include new meals. , Choices of vegetables and desserts were offered. Of course, popular opin- ion seemed to indicate that the lunches could be improved upon further. The smoking lounge was busiest during lunch when people tried to get in a cigarette before the next class. There were those people — no matter how few — who abstained from lunch and spent the entire time period in the smoking lounge or in the library or in some other place, never stepping a foot into the cafeteria. No matter how different people utilize the lunch period, it is “free” time to a certain extent. And no one usually complains about “free” time. “I don’t know. I think we’re having tacos or something.” Skipp - Smoot looks down at his lunch, “Oh no! Hot dogs again.” 21

TURN ON THE RADIO Since the cafeteria-which utilizes natural gas-is closed, stu- dents, such as Tom Lyons, order, pay for, and receive ice cream and milk in their fourth period classes. The sixth graders, who are forced to use what space the high school can offer, crowd into hall space suitable enough for classes. Governor Mills Godwin stated today that unless some precaution is n taken concerning our depleting source of natural gas, the state of Virginia will be in serious trouble. More snow is expected to fall this weekend-from three to six inches. The expected low for tonight is 0 ' Fahrenheit. Tomorrow’s high will be in the low to upper thirties. The cold front continues to hang over Virginia and many other Eastern states. This winter is reported as being the coldest in fort - years. Governor Godwin has been consid- ering an emergency plan for a statewide attempt to slow down the depreciation of our natural gas supply.
