llo In 1875, Alexander Graham Bell invented a machine that for many was a very important fac- tor in daily lives. Some students spent more time on the phone since they had their own phone number, while others were limited because they shared a phone with the rest of their family. Doing homework or just talking to friends were some of the reasons students used the phone. I enjoy talking on the phone because I can do my homework over the phone and keep in touch with my friends, ex- plained Kristie Cowan, junior. Enjoying some free time, Jimmy Stephens, senior, chats with a friend on his unusual phone. Making plans for his weekend, Ran- dy Nichols, junior discusses them with a friend. ., . . , g .- t sw Vote? Many things happened to a student on turning eighteen. They had to get a new drivers license picture and the guys had to register for the draft. Also came the respon- sibility of voting.

Food for thought As the seconds ticked away, every eye in the classroom was on the clock, then suddenly the bell finally rang, it was lunch time! The time between 11:40 and 12:35 was the most hurried time of the school day for most students. Seconds after the bell rang, doors flew open, students threw books in lockers, raced down the hall and out the door. Just getting out of the parking lot without having a collision was an accomplishment in itself. Students had several choices of where they wanted to spend the precious 55 minutes allowed for lunch. I usually eat out for lunch, because l like go- ing out with my friends, said Sammy Hightower, senior. Some students however, preferred the quietness, of home. Eating at home gives me a chance to rest before going back to school, commented Karen Petree, junior. While others prefer the convenience of the cafeteria or snack bar which offered a variety of low priced foods. Eating in the snack bar is o.k.
