AS COACH MATSON EXPRESSES HIS THOUGHTS on wrestler Mitch Soule’s chances at State, Mark Hoppel expresses his thoughts of coach Matson. High School Survival Test 3-minute break? Is that whay they call it? More like 3-minute rush-to-your-locker-on-the-other-side of-the-building-grab-your-books-and-run-to-your-next-class-without-running-anyone-over! What happens in those short three minutes between classes? Surely it has to be more than a mad dash, flying books, and a whirlwind smack on the lips from your hearthrob. 3-minute break may mean a lot of things. Like slipping the American Government final that you stole to your friends in the hall, in time for him to rush in, find the answers and cheat on his test too! For the unorganized person, 3-minute break turns into a nightmare. Have you ever tried to find your physics book under 6 term papers, 9 lovenotes, 3 magazines, 2 posters of Matt Dillon, and an old bologna sandwich? That is why you should be organized. The student who goes to his locker, drops his textbook in its alphabetical order, neatly takes out his next subject’s notebook, and then proceeds to his class, has little problem. That is until some bully ransacks his locker during class, completely fouls up his filing system and causes the organized one to break out in hives between his next two classes. Three minute break has it serious side too. What about the poor guy who’s girlfriend takes advantage of the short three minutes to slip him a Dear John”note and then rush to class before he breaks down and cries? Or how about the new kids in school who is expected to find his locker (the new kid’s lockers always gets stuck) open it and look for his next class in a mass of strange faces, all in those three MEASLY minutes? Of all high school experiences, 3-minutes break can be the most traumatic, but if a student survives it, then he is ready for the real world! 6 Life

Another name for lunch should be hazard. People fly down the halls zigzagging to miss the other kids just to get in line to each lunch. Other kids are flying out the doors and racing to their cars to beat everyone else downtown so they are first in line to get their food. Other people are flying home to catch the last of All My Children” to see what scheme Erica Cane is cooking up.” Lunchtime can be a very educational experience. It help you in your ancient Egyptician hieroglyphics class when you have to determine what the slimy green chunk of stuff is in the cafeteria that they just slapped on your plate. I It can also be a time for cultural clash like when the brain next to you in the lunchroom, who hates to miss school just because he has the flue, baiffs on his tray and its splatters on your food. If you don’t think that’s a cultural clash, what is? After all, you’d miss school if your fingernail polish chipped. Of course, not all cafeteria food is bad if you don’t mind driving into Billings to go the Royal Fork. But why knock the school cafeteria. Where else for 75 t a day can you eat such lean cuisine” in a spacious decor of a transformed Study Hall. TEDDY WILSON’S HUNGER DEPRIVES Tony Sabol, Robyn Yovetich, and Ramon Jimenez lunchtime conversation. 8 Life
