Lunch Growling stomachs, forgotten lunches cause midday crisis I t is noon and the symphony ' orchestra of growling stomachs is in full swing. Several students have developed a bad case of the fidgets awaiting the lunch bell, which will soon break the monotony of the past four hours. One uneasy person in particular is Mike. Every few moments he glances at the clock, stretches, yawns and lets out a noticeably loud growl from his stomach. Minutes pass slowly but the bell finally rings. They stampede out of the classroom like a herd of hungry elephants. Mike quickly runs to his locker, dials the combination and opens it, only to find that he has forgotten his lunch. Disgusted, he slams his locker door and stomps off to the cafeteria. Mike arrives at the cafeteria with no food and no money, wondering if he should just sit this one out. His stomach tells him otherwise. Another question arises. Where can he get 70 cents? He asks his friend Don for a small loan to save a starving boy. Don ' s reply is a simple “no.” George, Sue and Dave offer the same answer. Unable to borrow money from his cheap friends he sits down next to someone who has bought from the shortline and gives the “hungry dog act”. Soon realizing what Mike wants, his friend gives him a pat on the head and a handful of cheese popcorn. Now that he has something going, he tries it with the other kids, getting the same results. His hair is messed, but his stomach is filled. The bell rings and Mike, burping cheese popcorn, plods off to his locker and next class. Tommorrow he’ll be sure to remember his lunch.
