B Munch, Crunch, A Hg Lunch Kitchens bustling everywhere. Chefs, cooks, waitresses, and hambur- ger floppers busily prepare for the days lunch. LaSalle High students have a 35 minute break or lunch hour to do as they please. Most choose to eat either in the school cafeteria or at the local fast food restaurants. Some, however, run home to grab a quick snack out of the frig. Yet, there are a few like soph- omore Neil Wack who use their lunch time as a study hall. LaSalle ' s library is a great place to do last night ' s fifth hour homework. With sources ranging from Popeye ' s Fried Chicken to mom ' s home cooking to the varied menu at LaSalle ' s cafete- Burp! ria, students have many options in pleasing their palates. The cafeteria provides a hot meal course, a soup and salad bar, or Lion Power to Go for the junk food junkie. Senior Rhonda Cleary said she ate in the cafeteria because I ' ve always ea- ten in there. It ' s hot. It ' s a good meal. Yet, sophomore Rob Carrol eats at Noble Romans because I don ' t like cafeteria food. Many of the local res- taurants are occupied by the LaSalle Lions on their lunch break. To Deb Machnowski who feels the cafeteria is too noisy she likes to eat at McDon- alds, Taco Bell, or Noble Romans be- cause she ' s getting away and getting a break. 28 Student Life Lunch Time Upper left Astonished by the new taste of Lions Power to Go, freshman Lawanda Johnson awaits an- other mouth watering bite. — photo by Will Tieman Middle Seniors Darren Pluta and Pam Waikowski de- bate their preferences: brown bagged bologna or Lions grilled hamburgers. — photo by Will Tieman

With A Whisper, A Stare, A Tap On The Desk, LaSalle Lions Master The Art Of C ommunication Since the beginning of time people have found it necessary to communicate. Early man may have grunted at each oth- er to get their message across. As they developed, so did their language. After a time, methods of writing were developed so ideas could be preserved and passed around to many people. Means of communication are continu- ously advancing and LaSalle students are not ones to be left behind. Alexander Graham Bell ' s invention of 1876, the tele- phone, is perhaps one of the most popu- lar. On the average people communicate about sixteen hours a day. Approximate- ly three hours of this is spent on the phone. As junior, Sandy Tirotta, put it, People basically love to talk and when they can ' t be with other people, talking on the telephone is the next best thing. Even the telephone is being continuously improved. Now you can hook it up to your com- puter and call other computers. Dennis Fuller explains, Computers can send in- formation around the country at thou- sands of characters per second to another computer. Communication is not limited to the spoken word at LaSalle. Passing notes rivals the telephone. Vital information on who went out with who, how your hot date Friday night went, or how you did on the major Physics test makes its way up and down the rows and back and forth across the room until it arrives at its final destination. Then the process repeats it- self as the reply journeys back across the room, much to the dismay of the teach- er! adds Mr. Conrad Damian. Communication is a process that will never go out of style. The ways to com- municate may grow and change, but peo- ple will always need to interact with oth- Top If you know how to use your language, communication is made much easier.
