Relieyed of the heayy hurden of hooks and folders, they proceed to the cafeteria where they' were faced with tremendous questions from witlnn. Should l get .1 tunaftsh or harheciue today' Does that harnhurger have mustard on it. or is that yellow stuff just thin cheese' Mayhe I hetter stic lc to french fries and an orange-air drink. Satisfied with the decisions made, hut still tempted hy the reinemhrance of the apple pie thove the fries, they leave the lunchline. Yet, unlike the common frequenters of the cafeteria, they do not merely' search for an unused chair, stealing if necessary, and take their place at a tahle. lhese four girls have a much more iinpor- t1nt matter at hand. They must find out if Shawn is going to dtscoyer Moniquc-'s real identity: Quickly they hurry down the hall, carrying their sustenance for the afternoon lliey make predictions ahont how long byhil s hafuy will stay in the hospital then file into Miss 'leresa Prices room, where they' catch the first so minutes of All My f.lIllLll'CIl.l At the heginning of the year, Coach Price fixed up her new room near the north gytn hy painting the storage rootn and decorating the walls aml ahinets with information concerning the yolleyhall team. She also placed tl shag rug on the .ww 8' 'hifi if I floor in the hack of the room. and added a tahlc and chairs to provide the yolleyhall girls with a place to work or relax hetween siso and the heginmng of gatnes. A radio. then a ty, added in- terest, and it wasnt long hefiore the rooin had become the cafe of the vyest hall for seyeral volleyhall players ancf their friends. 'l'he students who att: in the cafeteria may also have noticed additions to make eating at school a little more pleasant. Curtains graced thc- preyious- ly glaring vyindovy panes, and hanging pots con- taining artificial greenery added color to the walls ofthe room. It was through the initiative of Mrs. lahhy Conant. Youth Adyisory Council sponsor. that these items were placed in the lunchrootn YAC. memhers and lunchroom employees worl-ted at Six lflags last spring to raise the money needed to pay' for thetn.

In the spring, the lunch period was a life-saver to eleventh-graders who could not quite keep up with the planned schedules to work on note- cards, hihliographyAcards, outlines, and rough drafts for their junior themes. lt also saved the necks, or rather, grade-point averages, of some typing students who stminehow-or-other got hehind on assignments and were stricken with the curse of nor haying a typewriter at home to make up the work.
