TRAVEL Every weekday students make their way to school through various forms of transportation. The lucky few who own cars love to show them off, and they usually disappear during their lunch and free blocks with the popular desti- nation of McDonald’s for munchies or simply a cruise around town. However, these auto drivers do have to pay for their privilege. There is gas to buy and the less financially pressing school parking sticker to be purchased. After years of basic square stickers a new and eye-catching little green racing car is available. Although bikes are less expensive, they present several problems, not the least of which is the delicate act of bal- ancing books on the rack. Also, bikers always run the risk of leaving for school under blue skies but being faced with rain or snow on the trip home. The MBTA and Lexpress are also popular means of transportation. It seems stu- dents will do anything to avoid walking. But no matter what means of transpor- tation students use, what matters is that they do get to school!

FOOD Food at Lexington High constitutes what is often a well-deserved escape. After and during a long, grueling day, students have meals and free blocks to look forward to. Free blocks are very much accompanied by food. In fact, besides the library, cafeterias are by far the single most popular location to eat lunch in. These cafeterias offer a variety of fare, ranging from simple snack items such as juice and donuts in the morning in F-House to a salad bar in G-House and a full hot meal in D or J. Those with appropriate means of trans- portation, or who can simply walk quickly, may opt for a more complicat- ed off-campus meal in the center of town or the Burlington Mall vicinity. Sophomores who have just received open campus privileges but who do not drive themselves may be seen eating quick meals on the run as they rush downtown and back in the alloted time. All in all, the gourmet and the junk food freak alike will find something to their taste and the time they have. Lei- surely tasty meals are something every sophomore and Junior finds to envy in the lackadaisical life of a Senior. 28 Mmmmm. Mmmmm good for Mark. Cool, refreshing milk?!
