Breaking away from school blues Where do most Lew Wallace students go during 4th and 5th hours? An open campus offers a variety of lunch time alternatives. Macs (McDonalds) and Burger King offer the usual hamburger, fries and coke for the average student. While Lincoln Carry Outs offers a variety of sandwiches, including roast beef, turkey and submarine sandwiches. Martha Jadrnak, junior, said, “My friends and I all go out to the local restaurants for lunch because it gives us time to get away from the noise and pushing in the halls at school.” For students who drive and can afford the price of gas for venturing more than a couple of blocks from school, there’s Pepe’s, Taco Bell, Arbys, and El Corral. These places give students a change from the usual dull hamburger and fries routine. Sophomore Dedra McKinney commented, “I’m tired of staying around the school all day, so I eat out. The food is much better than what they serve in the cafeteria too.” And of course for those students who miss dear old mom or just can’t afford to eat out every day there’s always lunch waiting at home for them. Junior Teresa Davis said, “I just go home for lunch everyday. The cub- bard always has what I want and at a good price. And I don’t have to wait in all those long lines.” Not everyon e leaves school for lunch. Many students eat in the school cafeteria, which serves a selectio of different meals every day. Mrs. Tony Sanchez explained, Cafeteria worker, “In these hard times many families can’t even afford a few dollars, so we provide a nutri¬ tional meal at a decent price.”

Hornets crown Lisa Albrecht As Derrick Adkins, senior class president, held the crown over the heads of the court, Reri Barrett Student Council vice president announced that Lisa Albrecht was the 1980-81 Homecoming queen. “I kept walking backwards in a state of shock, because I couldn’t beleive I had won,” said Homecoming Queen Lisa Albrecht. With her yellow roses, football in hand, and her crown on her head, Lisa took her traditional ride around the football field. “I was really surprised that I had won, and I was very happy. I consider Angie, Pat, Cheryl, Jetonne, and myself all winners for being on court,” said Lisa. October-15 was very colorful and exciting.” Juniors and seniors battled it out for the float competition. The juniors came in second with their float “Niners Don’t Have a Prayer,” but seniors took the $25 prize with their winning float “Toast the Fifty Niners.” Disappointment was shared by both the sophomore and freshmen classes. Floats were not entered by either class for the competition. Not only did the seniors win the float competition but also the spirit stick and car competition. Senior Anna Macyszak said, “Seniors really pulled together this year and made a come back.” The football Homecoming court for the 1980-81 year was Angela Ash, Lisa Albrecht, Cheryl Champion, Patricia Goodwin, and Jetonne Champion. “I was very happy that I made court after I got over the shock,” said senior Angela Ash. Lew Wallace was defeated by Andrean 0-14. “It just wasn’t our night, Andrean must have prayed harder than us,” said Ass’t Coach Ralph Brasaemle. Football player Mark Villeneuve senior, said, “We were emotionally ready, but by game time we were drained out.”
