Lunch Is Relaxing Lunch period was a time when a student could take a much needed respite from the rigors of academic life. During the lunch periods, many of Broome High's long-standing tra- ditions could be observed. Many students chose to par- ticipate in intramural sports, and it was during the lunch periods that these part-time athletes got to display their talents. Teams could participate in vol- leyball, tennis, softball, and nu- merous other sports. Those who wished to take a less active role were given the opportunity to observe the games and cheer their teams on. All in all, the in- tramural program evolved into one of the most widespread lunch period pastimes at Broome. For those not interested in sports, lunch period was a time to visit with friends. Countless students passed their lunch time sitting on the brick wall in the courtyard, breathing the fresh air, and catching up on the la- test news. Still others chose to sit along the glass enclosed hall- ways. Many Broome students chose to relax and smoke a cigarette in the special area provided. Finally, a smaller por- tion of students went to the gym lobby and called up friends on the pay phone. Kim Mode enjoys a hot meal and con- versation. Lori White reads the announcements to Ms. Munn while in the media center. Robert Hardy is amused with the con- versation between his friends. 10 Socializing

Seniors Proudly Receive Rings Ring Day at Broome High School is traditionally a special time for seniors. As the seniors filed into the gym, the under- classmen and visiting parents stood in respect. Jan McCray, president of the senior class, led those present in the pledge of allegiance to the flag. Then Su- san Donald, a senior member of the executive council, gave a devotion, setting the atmo- sphere for the receiving of the rings. As Mr. Eubanks called each student's name, each walked proudly across the stage to receive his or her senior ring, the symbol of the comple- tion of nearly twelve years in school. After all seniors had re- ceived their rings, they were in- structed to put them on, thus finalizing the ceremony. All sen- iors were then dismissed for the remainder of the day. Jan McCray hands Bryan Davis his ring as Mr. Eubanks Stoven Allison, Jefl Anderson, Roger Anthony and Tammy Ar- calls his name during the ceremony. thur stand holding their newly presented high school rings as the other seniors receive their rings on stage. 12 Socializing
