Lots of R and R 5 The weekend, for some, was a time of rest and relaxation. The majority of students, however, used their weekends as a time to date, go to parties, or cheer on our Leo Lions in their many sporting events. The weekend was an escape of the drudgery of homework, early morn- ing alarms, and late night studying. Students replaced thoughts of wor- rying about getting their algebra as- signments done with anticipation of the fun times ahead. Saturdays and Sundays were a great time to hang out at the mall and spend extra earned money. Die- hard video game freaks used their freetime in the arcades trying to get high scores on games such as Drag- on ' s Lair, Robotron, and Zaxxon. On Saturday night, students went to movies, parties, or got together with friends. Another popular spot for Leo students was the Casbah. This was a great place to dance to our favorite music, and also meet new people. Anyway we looked at it, weekends were a great break from the daily routine of early starts, long assign- ments and late nights of studying. — Michelle Kies While shopping at the mall.

• Along with Mountain Dew, 7up, Sprite and A W Roolbeer; Pepsi is a favorite drink of Leo junkies. Ho-Ho Heaven Ho-Ho ' s, Twinkles, Moonpies, Ding Dongs, and Zingers were just a few of the deliciously fattening things that were classified as junk foods. Because Ice Cream Alley and Ei- chels were near the school, stopping to get some goodies was very popular after school. These calorie-packed foods were also common in the diets of students. Parents tried their best to teach their kids to get a balanced meal, but the temptation of billboards and televi- sion commercials brainwashed the teenagers minds. Instead of the thoughts of juicy apples or a ripe orange, visions of pizza and a two liter bottle of Mountain Dew flashed into their minds. When the craving hit the student, he went on a junk food rampage. This rampage was of- ten called Hostess Syndrome. Ru- maging through refrigerators and cupboards, these frantic victims con- sumed every single item classified as food in their path. Anyway one put it, junk food was here to stay. Celeste Shaefer said it best when she stated, Junk food seems to fit in there with the .Mi- American baseball and Apple Pie. — Vincent Stovall 21 Lifestyles Junk Food
