JAMMED FULL OF GOODIES, Donna Cook’s locker has been at- tacked by a generous secret sis. Pcl pS ) y Sweet temptations were hard to resist tor students... Battling the Bulge Pizzas, candy bars, french fries, and hot fudge sundaes were among the array of great- tasting and frighttully fattening foods tempting students at ev- ery corner. Innocent dieters had a rough time making it to their next class without being hailed to buy popcorn, cakes or pies in support of a worthy cause. Probably the most dreaded were the M M's and NHS candy bars for sale most of the year — so readily avail- able and so cheap! ‘‘All of us in Mrs. Ballard’s class had to ad- mit that the M M's in the back of the room were a big tempta- tion,’’ said Marnie Crannis. The next test of willpower came in the cafeteria. Twinkies .. Ho-Ho's ... Hostess: Fruit Pies... all colorfully wrapped, wonderfully inviting, and chock full of calories. The cafe- teria’s latest addition of the year was home-baked chocolate chip cookes, tickling the swee- tooth’s nose with their aroma. Sports teams, with nutrition and physical fitness as top priorities, jammed lockers full of sweet suprises. A ‘secret sis’’ might spend five to ten dollars on candy, cakes, and cookies to put in a teammate’s locker. The temptations mounted outside school walls. Mouth- watering billboards of Har- dee’s homemade biscuits and Friendly’s ice cream sundaes were hard to drive past. The pharmacy across the street of- fered every kind of candy imaginable. Opportunities to ‘munch out’ became greater on weekends when more time was spent at home, with the re- frigerator right down the hall. A date might have included buttery popcorn at the movies, pizza afterwards, and many more untold calories. Was there an escape? With society's emphasis on being thin, certainly some people must have resisted the tempta- tions. The many diet drinks, su- gar substitues, and diet pills on the market were partially re- sponsible. Exercising gained popularity as several industri- ous teachers formed a class which worked out to Jane Fon- da’s video to help stay slim. But possibly the greatest incentive for students to resist luscious foods was the reminder that Beach Week was also just around the corner!
