EEN CUISINE Have you ever stopped to won- der just how many restaurants there are in the Fort Wayne area? The yellow pages list approxi- mately 223 eating establish- ments (this does not include all of the individual McDonald ' s, Pizza Huts, etc.). There are also many different types of restau- rants, catering to a variety of tastes and ethnic backgrounds. The best known are Mexican, Italian, and Chinese; but there are also ones that feature such cuisine as Hungarian, French, Japanese, Thai, and Greek. With so many places to choose from, it ' s no wonder that most stu- dents and teachers could often ▼ Story by Marj Graber ♦ Photos by Jamee Garton, Paul Newberg When Mom ' s tuna casserole wouldn ' t do, there were Fort Wayne ' s many restaurants to satisfy any craving and every taste bud. be seen at their favorite restau- rants. Many students preferred the fast food restaurants where they could eat quickly and be on their way to the mall or a party or wherever; the teachers liked to sit down, relax, and be served at such places as The Elegant Fanner and various Hall ' s. Mexican food was the favorite of the students, and Bandido ' s and Chi-Chi ' s were more popular than any pizza place for a date or for just being with friends. But whatever the choice, it was obvi- ous that everyone had one thing in common: the love of eating out. I Enjoying chips and sauce, Stephanie Combs catches a bite to eat at Bandito ' s.

ACATION FEVER Immediately after Thanksgiv- ing, students started the count- down of days until the next vaca- tion. Many headed for the malls for shopping or just looking. Christmas break fever had be- gun. Helping others kept many busy and in true Christmas spir- it. Mrs. Molbrook ' s and Ms. Schrein ' s classes adopted two needy families again this year. Almost everyone at Leo helped them amass food, clothes, toys, and other items plus $916.89 to make Christmas better for those families As the final school day of 1986 (December 19) approached, stu- dents spent time practicing Christmas music for the annual Yuletide Festival, decorating classrooms or halls to add some holiday cheer, or just keeping up with day to day assignments. Some planned, packed, and Spending a quiet moment away from all the Christmas rush, Mrs. Fepple catches up on some reading. Story by Ju ie Hohl ♦ photos by Donna Meyers and Leslie Meredith It was exciting to see a number of the other teachers and their classes become involved in the Christ- mas Bureau drive. I would like to see this become a school-wide project. Many students here are very fortunate and they like to have the opportunity to share. ► — Mary Schrein looked forward to a sunny vaca- tion in Florida or any other warm climate. Those who would be stuck in Indiana were left with hopes of at least a white Christ- mas. Unfortunately, the dreams of snow and the ftin that would ac- company it did not come true; so most people spent vacation catching up on soaps, visiting with friends, or just relaxing. Some students even studied or worked on school projects like new designs for toothpick bridges they hoped would make the grade. As Christmas break ' 86 finally drew to a close, most students and faculty members were ready to return to school. Others dreaded the day and hoped — to no avail — for a blizzard. So on January 5, all returned for the long school days until spring break. 24- holiday
