7: cn 28 cafeteria Remember all the times back in school when you were eating your favorite cookie and were interrupted by some salesperson? Or when you passed by that reserved table of pleading eyes by the lunchroom door? Remember what a stampede the yearbook staff caused when Keith Kizer bullhorned his way into the hearts of MacArthians waiting on edge to buy a yearbook? Some times, it would be so bad that you couldn't tell whether the people were in line for lunch or to buy an annual, said Vickie Ryan. Remember all the selling that went on during football season? Every Friday, as you walked through the doors of the student lounge, a flash of red and white carnations were flourished by everyone. By selling the carnations, the Parent Teacher Association was able to present a graduate with the PTA Scholarship. Remember the 50 pounds that you gained by the end of the year? Possibly, it came from the day to day candy pushing done by numerous clubs, all at different times during the year so you never had a chance to catch up with your diet.

Well, it wasn't 50 years ago. It was just when gourmet cooks Ccalled moth- ersj held bake sales in the lunch- room. All those creamy towers of endless eating staring you right in the face as you walked in the doors. Remember all the different clubs that thought you didn't use electricity in your house or something? Imagine how many candles were sold in a year. And remember how those Five Star Herald staffers and competitors tried different angles to empty your pocket. All the newspaper wanted was one thin dime for that paper. Well it wasn't just for kicks that sellers sat and waited for customers in the lunchroom. This was where the money was during school hours.

Night life Along -jf streets, dancing and max parking lot, fill the stands and on Friday nights. Short kids, tall kids, fat kids, skinny kids, any kids at all. This is not the beginning of a hot dog commercial but more like the description of MacArthur's favorite pas- time, just crowding around. One can't move without being in a crowd. Whether it's in the hall, lunch or eyeballing a fight, students just can't move without being less than an arm's length away from someone, Jaime Harreld explains. The fact remains, one can't get away from crowds. Especially at one ot the many crowd pleasing events in the gym. Everybody sits so close when something is happening in the gym that you can smell the fourth guy down from you and tell he hasn't had a bath in two weeks, acknowledges Margaret Guerra, junior. From the moment students step on to school grounds they are in crowds. Even the yellow, 6-wheeled sardine can, called a school bus, has its tight moments before and after school. Hone really wants mass hysteria wait until something exciting happens around these students. Then it's one gigantic parking lot pyramid. Give it up, you're just one in a crowd, says James Gregory.
