DI VER SI O The pressures of school life often cause many Eagle students to divert themselves in directions other than school work in order to release some tension and stress. Lunchtime is a great get away and one that several students look forward to. Although Sur- prise Sandwichesu and Meat and Vegetable Cas- serole are not the most appetizing items to satishf hunger pains, the noon hour remains one of the most popular times of the school day. Those who choose to eat a hot lunch gather in the multi-purpose room with friends to share friendly conversation, while others grab a hoagie, piece of cake, salad, or crackers. The real chal- lenge of lunch, however, is to either leave the school for a bite at a fast food chain and then to return to school unnoticed or to smuggle in pizza without being caught. The gym serves as a place to escape during lunchtime. Seventh and eighth graders are satis- Hed spending this time playing basketball. Upper- classmen students are content sitting on the bleachers while sharing jokes, conversation, and who knows . . . maybe even studying??? The sen- iors, adjusting to lunch without the lobby as a hangout, gather in the seats by the boys' locker room. The topics of discussion range from how ridiculously hard a test was to what are you going to do this weekend? The library, traditionally a place for studying and a quiet atmosphere, serves as the most relax- ing spot of the school. Being careful not to use your six week pass too many times, the library seems to be a privilege. A 40 minute class period can be used to read magazines, the newspaper, books, notes from your friends, and maybe even homework assignments. The weekend. 2:40 Friday afternoon seems to be the most popular time ofthe school week. Kids race to the bus or out to the student parking lot because with so many things to do, no one wants to miss a minute of it!!! Friday night games, mov- ies, parties, dates, dances, and work are among the most popular events ofthe weekend. It's a time to release all the pressures built up from the pre- vious week. Taking time out with friends and fam- ily is ohen the best way to 'get away from it all and prepare yourself again for the upcoming week. 6f0pentng Section G. ' - .gl tg 53? ' -lt. it? Qs as .

FRIENDS Our friends are the people we go to class with, work with, study with, and party with. Without our friends, Liberty-Benton would be nothing more than a building Hlled with books, desks, and peo- ple we know nothing about. It's our friends, those that we laugh with, talk'with, and Hght with, that make Liberty-Benton what it is. And whether they be a scholar, athlete, musician, leader, or follow- er, each ha ve something to offer us, and we learn from all of them. Friendships can begin in a number of ways and will continue to do so throughout our lifetime, Whether our best friend was our sandbox pal in kindergarten or a new acquaintance this year does not matter, More important is the quality of rela- tionship we develop after spending time with one another. Friendships are unique. Some can withstand an enormous amount ofpressure and a multitude of problems, while other Hzzle away aber a tiny dis- agreement. The best thing about friendships, however, is that they provide us with a number of things that we ha ve come to depend on: a shoulder to cry on when the going gets rough, a joke to release the tension, a listening ear, enthusiasm and fun on the weekend, a Hx-up for a double date, a ride to school, support, hugs, smiles, encouragement, and even homework for 4th period English class. True friends seem to stick together for better or for worse. They help solve our problems, have fun, and preserve our sanity. And it's with these friends that we have enjoyed this school year at Liberty-Benton. Uptn ig Section 5
