At 12:24 the noon bell rang and classroom doors flew open. The mad rush was on and the sound of stomp- ing feet and slamming lockers filled the air. The next 35 minutes belong- ed to the students, and the students alone, as each went his own direction for lunch. A traffic jam was in the process of discouraging many home- ward and lunchroom-bound students and faculty. For Juniors and Seniors, the most thrilling part of the lunch hour was the hair-raising bus ride to Cham- berlain. Upon safe arrival, the stu- dents entered a room of loud talking and messy tables as they waited in line for lunch. For freshmen and sophomores, the Grade School was available to those who looked for- ward to lunch primarily for the fell» ship. In addition to those attendirn’ th lunchrooms, a majority of the stu- dents made other plans for noon. I lie bowling alley, Mug-n-Jug. the druc stores, and the park area some of the many hang-outs students used to spend 30 minutes. lunch (1) F Club members hold a noon meeting to pick their annual football queen candidates. (2) Couples and friends sprawl out on the floor and enjoy the last few precious minutes of lunch. (3) Another popular lunch spot is Johnson's Drug Store. (4) Last- minute studying for an afternoon test, and the popular pastime of crochet- ing occupy Jan Marshall, Cathy Mil- ler, and Shannon Martens during lunch hour.

President Laura Bostwick was the first girl in the history of FHS to give an- nouncements each morning. Devo- tions were transferred from the FHA girls to Mrs. Burns' 5th hour Speech class as each member was scheduled a week at a time on a voluntary basis. While Mr. Pierce's 3rd hour In- ternational Problems class discussed the Arab Oil embargo and Watergate. Mr. Sellar's Biology class took up the study of snakes and other specimens. Ronny Rich summed up Biology with I like that class because you get to play with snakes and slimy things. With the coming of 4th hour, stomachs began to growl and the excitement of noontime deflected many students from their studies. However, Mrs. Burns' and Mrs. Wed- els' Business English classes, as well as others, worked until the very last second before the ringing of the bell. (1) Calvin Snyder and Mike Tucker discover the joys of snow and ice during a break in semester tests. (2) Vanessa Robinson washes her paint brush as Jack Howell examines an art display in this interesting double-ex- posed picture. (3) The sole girl in Drafting I, Laura Bostwick, is deeply engrossed in drawing a plate. (4) Ac- cording to the Yearbook survey taken in fall, this musical assembly by Northern College was a favorite with • students. (5) Jacket Editor. Randy Levings and assistant Editor Susan Boehs arrange, rearrange, write and re-write pages of the 1974 yearbook. (6) Managing a study hall and teach- ing five English classes proves to be a full-time job for Mrs. Gail Wedel after breaking her wrist during prepa ration period. Student Life 9

The noontime was often cut short for club members attending 12:50 meetings. As graduation approached, Seniors used the remainder of their lunch period to measure for caps and gowns. Returning from the various parts of town, students from all classes came back to the gym corridor where you usually hear a lot of good jokes, and everyone's in a good mood. Returning in itself, however, proved to be an experience for dri- vers such as Principal Moyers and student Rick Parkins, who collided on State Road. Back at school, eighth graders threw knives, seniors flipped coins, and couples messed around to pass the time till the bell rang. The main thing about lunch hour was getting out and laughing and forgetting the pressures of the day.
