As the clock slowly crept past noon, it was hard to find a student, or ven a teacher on campus that wasn ' t anticipating the arrival of lunch. 1 watch the clock just thinking about lunch, exclaimed Kristin Lamb. Be- i-ause of this growing anticipation, many teachers found it difficult to con- tiol their classes toward the end of fourth period. I find that a lot of my tudents become really ' antsy ' as the |(= 11 approaches, commented Mr. 41enn Anderson. Taking advantage of lunch hour free time, Scott Devries and Tracey Bethel en)oy mingling in the parking lot, a favorite hangout tor those This ' antsiness ' was easily explained by John Tillman. Lunch is a chance to relax and not have to think about school. Whether staying on campus or making a quick getaway to the nearest fast food place, it was clear that stu- dents really valued their lunch break. There were even some students who used lunch as an opportunity to catch up on homework assignments.
