If a student is caught eating in class, they have to throw away their munchies. Some teachers make you throw away your munchies whether you are eating them or not. Students hurry between classes, going to their lockers, talking to their friends, and at the same time going to the candy machines. There are two machines in the north commons from which students can buy munchies. But are they getting their moneys worth? Prices are mostly going up instead of going down. The average price of a candy bar is 30 cents. But for that 30 cents you don’t get much because the bar is continually shrinking. The candy bars that are most commonly sold are Payday, Choco Lite, Heath, Hershys, and assorted mints. They also have a “Guess What” for those who don’t care what they eat. The potato chip machine is next to the candy machine. For 25 cents you can have your choice of any various snacks, from pop-corn to corn chips. And for big spenders, 40 cents brings Zingers, dan- ishes, Ding Dongs, Suzy Qs and Koo Koos are only some of the cakes sold. The machines are closed during third hour and aren’t open until fifth hour. Federal regulations prompted such restrictions to encourage students to buy a hot lunch. The pop machines were rarely opened because the students had a problem with leaving the cans on the ground and taking pop cans on the bus. The school also made a profit on the Borrowing money is one of the most common things done near the candy machines. Dawn Scott and Cheryl Huseman discuss the outra- geous prices of candy bars. 28 — Feature machines. Every three months the school received a check and the money was divided between the organizations. There were problems related to the machines, however. The machines took the money but refused to fork-over the goods. The school would not refund the money. Victims names were put on a list and, hopefully, the money would eventu- ally be returned. But the office rarely sees the munchkin who maintains the machines. There have been a few occa- sions where no candy was placed in a slot. When the knob was pulled, nothing came out. Then there were times when they put the wrong candy in the wrong slot and what came out was not a “Guess What?” but rather, a genuine “surprise!” Yet, in spite of the risks, fast food always won out over the growling stom- ach. With the tardy bell just seconds away, the Zingers zinged, the Koo-Koos kooked, the Pepsi pepped and the epi- demic of five minute munchies ended for one more hour. fill Zimmerman and Andy Richart need a Coke and a smile to keep their days going.

To aid the faculty in time of need was Mrs. Geritol, alias Mrs. Mickey Hasse. Mrs. Sharon “Fuzzy Cataldi helped, too. Suspense heightened as the opening jump ball was thrown between Mr. James Nicho- las and Scott McVey. Annual agony Even under the direction of coaches Rick Kruit and Jeff Grant, were assisted by Jo De Curly” Bevins, Mary “Leggs” Anderson, Mary Kosmo” Kozlowski, Patty Neary and Kathy Wachowiak, the senior boys were overpowered by the faculty. Paul Erickson, a senior player, reasoned “I felt that the outcome of the game should have been better. But due to the fact that coaches are also considered faculty, we didn’t have much of a chance. He also men- tioned that the team only had a couple of practices. Mr. Arden Smith admitted the seniors kept him from doing his best. I would have played a lot better but Todd Uran’s tough defense kept me from scoring.” According to Mr. Smith, “It was fun to play. It made me feel young again.” Even with all this to back up the team, the seniors lost, 30-43. The 1981 annual senior-faculty game was a suc- cess according to Mr. Granger. “It was a financial success for the National and Junior National Honor Societies. It was also a success for the whole school, because it was played in a true sportsman spirit. They were out there to play and win, not to revenge.” Tickets and concessions brought in $400. Plans for this money included the purchase of certificates and pens. It also helped pay for the induction ceremony and service work. Intense concentration and skill would have helped Mr. John Brindley, but he missed the free throw attempt. Doug Robinson searches for someone to pass the ball to. The other seniors searched for a victory, in vain. There was no stopping John Holeman from getting this shot. Mr. Farley and Scott Parks could only wait to rebound. Senior Faculty Basketball — 27
