The Common, or cafeteria as it is popularly known, is much more integral to school life than a simple lunch hall. The cafeteria staff serves a steady stream of doughnuts, coffee, and other breakfast staples throughout the day to those who can’t wait until feeding time. The cafeteria is a meeting place for all those students not assigned to any specific room. Armed with cards and blaring” stereos they make a mockery of the term Open Study. The spacious cafeteria also serves as the location of most school dances but its major function still is to meet the nutritional requirements of students during fifth period. Despite an occasional rebellion in the form of a food fight in which the best strategy of the teachers assigned to dreaded cafeteria duty is retreat, the school lunches arc nutritional and most lunch-goers would rather eat than fight. Once again the Masuk photographer catches his victims completely unaware. Note the shocked and surprised looks on the class officers’ faces. Slurping and slopping their food, this group rushes to finish eating before the bell rings ending the minute A-lunch. The underclassmen dine in their respective sections. Because the lunch turned out to be fish again, these girls decided to try to go on their diets again. Mr. Fred Oberson Industrial Arts U.B.
