2 SPARE TIME Foyer popular ith students Cafeteria serves hot rolls for breakfast The new telephones in front of the main office received plenty of business through the year. Rushing to the phones during passing periods and lunch, students called home for early dismissals or to check on friends that were not at school. The Office provided a phone for calls up to three min- utes, but the line was usually too long or students wanted to talk longer than three minutes. So stu- dents took advantage of the pay phones outside the office. The price to use the pay phones rose from 206 to 256. Students enjoyed relaxing in their spare time on the couches outside the library. The couches provided a comfortable place to rest and also get some sun rays. ' Inside the library offered a place where stu- dents could study in a quiet atmosphere. Studying for tests or reading one of the many magazines the library has to offer. students felt at home there. Teachers also used the library in their spare time to read the paper or grade papers. The foyer has always been a place to spend spare time, the foyer benches remained intact all year long. Principal l,eon Ilagmann found no need to remove them. Students could be found in the foyer any time of the day, During second and third periods the cafeteria did almost much business as it did during lunch. Many students caught the munchies before lunch and found the cafeteria could fill their needs.

GOSSIP favorite pastime Did yo hear? by Annie Estill Did you hear about Betty and Paul? 'Jimmie and Sharon got hitched! Henry got an earring! As soon as a student enters the school and gets caught up in the social swing of things, he is surrounded by various people informing him of others' personal affairs. This student has just entered another dimension of rumors and told secrets, it's the Ilaltom High School Zone. From the hall of music to the rooms of business, there is gossip being interspersed throughout Haltom. Talk ranges anywhere from a chemistry kid bragging about his ex- periments to the school's Casanova enumerating on the many aspects of his love life. Students lined the benches in the foyer upholding their reputations and getting well acquainted with the word ofthe day. An attentive clown spots a nerd sneak- ing through the foyer. Hey, look at the dork? lie reminds me of poindexterfw One basketball star to another, Man, I took out Betty Lou last night and she was the greatest! l V A Highstepper to a well endowed girl, I heard about you last night, Betty Lou. Although the foyer is the social meeting place, the band hall is well populated with various musicians running about skittishly and sharing word ofmouth. Trumpeter to tuba player, Boy, you real- ly blew it at that concert yesterday! The back parking lot, gossip can still be heard through the smoke and acid rock music . . . One to another, Hey man, did you know Marlboro went up a nickle a pack? Then there's the sweet couple straying away from the social crowds, walking the halls together, with the look of love in their eyes and the sense of warmness as they cud- dle as close as they can to one another . . . Girl to boy, innocently, Oh yea, did I tell you my father's going to shoot you if you come over again!
