Everyone knows that the last place a student wants to be is in a classroom. The question asked was “where is your favorite skipping place?” Quite a few answered at home, while others gave off ideas such as the beach and downtown Lowell. As for their least favorite place to skip, the top three were anywhere in school, at home, or the Discipline Office. Asked of roaming seniors: “What do you do on your free time in school?” Their answer? Hang-out! Many hang-out on the third floor railing while others take it easy in the smoking area yet at the same time others relax in the Mall. Hang-outs which are not too favorable are the general vicinity of discipline, classrooms and the bathrooms. Between 10:45 and 12:35 lunch is served. School lunches leave something to be desired. Turkey and gravy, haddockburger, and chicken are the lunches most eaten, while cheeseburger pie, pizza and tuna salad prove to be the worst lunches served in the cafeteria. In these fast-paced times, regular meals are scarce. Therefore, munchies take the place of balanced meals. So much of our weekly paychecks go towards the purchase of chips, candy bars, and pizzas. Munchies which aren’t too popular are chips, health foods, and candy. When we do have time to eat, we usually take the option to spend money and eat at MacDonalds, Burger King, or the Lo-Kai. When funds are limited, people must settle for less favorable places like the school cafeteria, MacDonalds, or Wendys. The reason we go to school is to get a trade education along with academic knowledge. In other words, classes are a vital part of our education. Relat- ed, English and Shop are the three favorite classes while Math, English and Physics top the charts as the three least favorites. Along with going to school and classes, instructors must follow. Mrs. Conole took first place for the favorite teacher while Mr. Gomes and Mrs. Gallagher took second and third place. Weekends go by too quickly so our weekend free-time is cherished. Sunday proved to be the least favorable weekend night while Saturday nights are devoted to hanging around and staying out late. Long weekends, holidays, and summer vacation yield plenty of free time. Going to the beach is one of the most favorite places to go. Hampton is full of excitement and friendly faces while Salisbury is a little closer and York Beach up in Maine pleases the palate for fun and excitement. Salisbury, Wyman’s, and Hampton have been chosen as the least desirable beaches to waste time and spend paychecks. For those who smoke cigarettes, the few that are concerned about less tar and nicotine, smoke the light brands put out by Marlboro, Newport and Winston. Others have acquired a taste for cigarettes after much trial and error. Errors just happen to be Kool, Newport Lights and Camels. This ends our SENIOR SURVEY done mid-year in the class of 1982. Years from now, when you turn the pages of this book you’ll realize that Led Zeppelin wasn’t your ‘Stairway to Heaven’ and AC DC didn’t really electri- fy you. You weren’t really ‘Up in Smoke’ about Cheech and Chong, but ‘Superman’ was the one that got you high. A Camaro might have had more horsepower but a Pinto would’ve saved money. And when you’re hungry, all you’ll be able to think about is the school cafeteria and cheeseburger pie. When it comes to teachers, you’ll think of Mrs. Conole. But most of all you’ll realize that your high school years were the best ones of your life.
