ist .. 2nd eso eee ih CHOW TIME! Lunch, the meal eaten in the middle of the day, between breakfast and dinner. The time of the day that the students look forward to the most. A time to fill our growling stomachs and to catch up with some friends. A few changes have been made in the lunch schedule. The reason behind this change was so that lunches wouldn’t be as crowded and the lines would move more quickly. The addi- tional lunch period resulted in a study hall for all students. The students have a daily choice of hamburgers and grilled cheese. Yet, the favorite choice seems to be the chicken filet sandwich and pizza. Some other favorites are rolls, chocolate chip cookies, and honey buns. During lunch the students do many things besides eating, from voting and paying dues to home- work and studies. But lunch is primarily used for the social as- pect, to plan the upcoming weekend and discuss the past one. If it weren’t for lunch we might not have a chance to talk to some friends and cram for sixth period’s test. Marie, missing that German food yet? Debbie poses but Bene keeps eating. Jackie Sutton eats her pizza Italian style. 26 LUNCHES

Come on show me that. . . Fancv Footwork As lights dim, bodies are rest- less as Mr. Graham enters the auditorium and takes his seat behind the piano. He gives the signal. Notes flow from out of the piano as lights brighten to show a rainbow of colors. The costumes sparkle as the chorus comes to life. The chorus is ‘“composed”’ of several groups including Cham- ber Ensemble, Girls’ Chorus, Concert Choir, and Show Choir. These groups perform separate- ly and also together. These groups perform at concerts such as the Winter and Spring con- certs, Show Choir’s Cabaret din- ner, Festival competition, and “Middle schools to Monacan.” In spring, Drama and Chorus teamed up when Centerstage went to New York. They sang at the UN building and attended Broadway shows. Many stu- dents have taken chorus for many years. A junior in Show Choir said ‘“‘Over the past three years, chorus has helped me make friends. It has helped me be more outgoing.”’ Another stu- dent stated, ‘I enjoy the singing and dancing incorporated to- gether in the Show Choir. It has been a fun learning experience.” As the lights dim and the vi- brant colors of the costumes fade, the concert is coming to a close. The stream of sounds from the piano ceases and Mr. Graham takes his bow. The con- cert is over. A junior, Sarah Parker enjoys her third year in Show Choir. As the class demonstrates, Show Choir incorporates singing with choreographed moves. 28 SHOW CHOIR
