One of the favorite breaks in our busy day is lunch time. Much thought and planning has gone into feeding a large number of people in a very short amount of time. At the same time the students are given alternatives and choices about their lunch. The seniors enjoy the privilege of eating lunch off campus. They get into the largest cars available, and they go to one of the nearest fast food restaurants which are McDonalds, Hardees, Wendys, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, Peter Piper Pizza, and the Subway Sta- tion. The few seniors that remain at school during lunch go into the cafeteria which is specially des- ignated for them. They also have a line which only they can go through. Underclassmen do not have the privilege of leav- ing campus. Instead they migrate to the school wg Photo by Lisa Parker Photo by Becket Childress Marty Chadwick insists that Donaldo Harris clean out his locker.

Those who are watching their weight are usually found in the salad line. Others, who are not as concerned about dieting, go through the snack line. For others who want a hot meal, there is the choice of hamburgers, pizza, and the specialty of the day. While most students chose to eat in the cafeteria, there are many others who enjoy eating outside the building or in the halls. Besides eating, many other activities are occuring during lunch time. Some of the students go to the library to do homework or study for tests. Probably the largest part of the students find a quiet spot to visit with friends and catch-up on the latest gossip. Some of the more energetic students find an area to participate in sports. By Becket Childress Photo by Denise Ballance McDonald’s sign lights up the night.

We've Got “(he Look Trends and fashions play an important role in eve- ryday student life. Throughout the year, eyes are fo- cused on the many different styles that sweep through the halls. One can not help but spot the many kinds of denim wear, over-sized sweaters, sweatshirts bearing a wide variety of college names, stylish mini-skirts, and different types of shoes. Wherever one goes in the school, students are always trying to achieve a perfect look. Stone-wash denim, from jackets to mini’s and from shirts to shoes to purses are always found. Although the items can be worn in different combinations, some people make their whole outfit denim. Mini-skirts are a big hit also this year. Roaring back from the 50’s and 60’s mini’s are in! These are found very short, baggy or tight, and in various colors. Over- Photo by Staff Students put a lot of money into formal dresses for special dances. Bobby Dolecki, Angela Saunders, and Greg Beach keep warm by wearing college sweat shirts. Photo by Lisa Parker TREND AND FASHIONS sized sweaters are added to help top off the intended “casual” look. In the shoe department, leather ankle-high boots, Sebagos, 9-West, and tennis-shoes (such as REEBOK, ADIDAS, FILA, and CONVERSE) are most frequently worn. To finish off the perfected style, colored socks that match the clothing are added. Extra accessories like necklaces, earrings of all sizes, bangles, watches, anklets, hair bows, and banana clips are worn to dress up the overall appearance. Trends often center around cars, surfing, and party- ing. Most students fix-up their bumpers with person- alized license plates and stickers of all kinds. For surf- ing, Cape Hatteras, Nags Head, and Virgina Beach are always at the top of the list. Student gatherings take place anywhere at anytime. by Lisa Parker Photo by Don Rush Students step into style with the shoes they find most comfortable.
