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.”
