What is your favorite . . . ? Sport Radio Station Lunchroom menu reflects changes By Krista Beavers With all the changes that took f)lace. one that didn ' t change the ooks of the school was the new cafeteria lunch menu. Food Service Manager Gitta Grether-Sweeney, who has just completed her first year as man- ager of the cafeteria decided to take a new and innovative ap- proach to serving school luncn- es. One of the many ideas that was worked into the menu was National School Lunch Week, October 11-17. The idea of the week was to focus on the dif- ferent ethnic groups that con- tributed to the American lifes- tyle. Some of the days were Scandanavian day, Middle East- ern day and West African day. The foods served on those days included gyros, congo chicken and pompeii fruit bars. With new food also comes new and sometimes higher prices. The cafeteria and new snack bar prices stayed basically the same, but certain prices on food such as rolls increased. I don ' t mind that the prices increased because the quality of the food improved a lot from last year, junior Sean Peters said. Mini-Nfai 5

' ' ; idds deli bar; r choices improve Click Many changes occurred in our school and one of the major ones was the improvement to the lunchroom. The remodeling of the snack bar and the addition of the deli bar made lunch a more bearable. The snack bar was not com- pleted or open to the students un- til Sept. 21, but most students found it worth the wait. On the other hand the deli bar was opened to students at the begin- ning of the year. I found the wait for the snack bar worth while because now I don ' t have to eat cafeteria food. Even though it ' s mainly junk food it still tastes better. fresh- man Tracy Byrom said. The selection offered included a bigger variety and it seemed to make a big difference in the eat- ing habits of the students. When I was a junior I ate in the snack bar everyday, only problem was that it was all junk food. Now I can get food that I like and that ' s good for me to go along with my junk food and still feel like I ' m eating a healthy lunch, senior David Martin said. The selections in the snack and deli bar varied greatly from the previous years. Some of the choices in the snack bar included hamburgers, french fries, pizza, corn dogs. Blue Bell ice cream, chips, and the regular assortment of sweets. In the deli bar on Mon- day, Wednesday, and Friday you could make your own salad or eat a large hot baked potato. On Tuesday and Thursday you could make your own sandwich with a chioce of at least five different types of bread. I liked these new additions to our cafeteria because you can eat either a hot or cold lunch accord- ing to your mood. Now I can get anything I want to eat except my very favorite thing, hot and juicy fajitas! junior LeeAnna Machen said.

Pholo By sieve Mr. ' Candless ii Clothes advertise products By Debbie Kaiser These days it seems as though food and fashion go hand in hand. Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Ruffles, Frito-Lay, Corona and Budweiser beers, just to name a few, have all incorporated with the fashion industry and have found their way into department stores. Food and beverage logos and trademarks can be found on shirts, pants, socks, under garments, wallets, purses, towels, bandanas, and many other items. For advertising reasons, it was prob- ably important for food to expand into the clothes industry, senior Tracy Harp- er said. But when I wear my Coke shirt I feel like a walking advertisement for the Coca-Cola Distributing Company. Clothes advertising food were not nec- essarily bought to display a person ' s food taste. I liked the Coke design on the shirt. I thought it looked neat and that ' s the only reason I bought it, senior Christine Rosales said. Advertising for food and beverage companies did not come cheap. An av- erage Coca-Cola shirt cost $35 to wear. The basic t-shirt displaying alcoholic drinks cost between $10 and $20. i yout By Krista Beavers Wearing a Coca-Cola jacket, junior Mateo Escobar is one of the many students that bought clothes which advertise a food product. .-.J

t ew courses offer variety of classes By Krista Beavers Just when students thought life was going great, the counselors sprang some- thing new on them: New Courses. Four new courses were offered including Humani- ties, Algebra II Honors, Ad vanced Texas History and Pre-Calculus. Humanities was a combination of Eng- lish and History in a two- hour class. Gwen Bonner and Monica Shaw were the teachers. It was all right for the first week then having to sit in that classroom for two pe- riods a day finally got to me, juni or Marivel Her- nandez said. Hummanities students were still required to write a term paper which all students must write before gradua- tion. The students were al- lowed to take the normal break during the two hours. Algebra II Honors was added to the curriculum for excellant math students to get ahead of the rest of the class. I liked this class because it helped to broaden my knoweldge in math and hopefully will help me when I go to college, junior Marsha Snyder said. Trigonometry and Ele- mentary Analysis was of- fered to junior and senior students, but the name was changed to Pre-Calculus. Pre-Cal is an introductory course to Calculus. It is for students taking Physics or plan on entering some form of engineering in college. Teaching one of the many new courses offered, pre-cal teacher Bill Keithly talks to his class. Pholo by Sieve McCandless Parking space decreased By Debbie Kaiser It was a problem faced every morning by students who drove their own cars to school and got there past eight o ' clock . . . the over- crowded parking lot. I ' ve been driving for two years, senior Chad Berdoll said. If I ' m at school by eight, I can park at the cor- ner of the fence by the foot- ball field. One time I got here about 8:10 and I had to park by the fieldhouse. One empty lot in front of the school was used for parking by some students. but the property did not belong to the school and students were called to the office and asked to relocate their vehicles. While zero hour stu- dents, cafeteria workers, administrators, and teach- ers got the prime choice parking places each morn- ing, the 8 a.m. arrivers suf- fered by having to walk the extra length to the build- ing or chance having their car hit or towed when they parked in non-designated parking areas.
