13 tudent Life ‘ 5 What most people think of when Main Street Mania they remember Trade Day is all the 5 confusion. On Saturday, October 4, ‘ the sidewalks down Main Street And Memories Too were packed with people. Booths displayed toys, art, leathercrafts, and other homemade and store- ; bought items for sale Trade Day began as usual with the annual Montevallo Fire Preven- tion Parade. Two marching bands, The Troubadours and The Marion Military Institute Band both per- formed in the parade, but the most memorable part of the parade was the brigade fire trucks. Trucks came from as far as North Birmingham to delight and deafen the crowd with their sirens and horns During the day, there were also several games that children could play. Most of these were furnished by the PTO, who also sponsored a car wash, ponyrides, games and a favorite of most of the children, face-painting After having her face painted, Marcia Spivery's daughter Taylor visits other attractions on Main Street Rainbow Brite greets passers-by as she brightens the day with her colorful costume

14 tudent Life Mealtime Medley — Soup’s On! Third period hunger pangs! Ever had 'em?. Surely everyone has ex perienced those little nagging mes- sages one’s stomach sends some- where around 10:45 “Feed me! Quick!’’ Then as the bell rings to signal the beginning of fourth peri- od, one really becomes anxious to make the trek out to the lunchroom Last spring, the lunchroom ser vice underwent a drastic overhaul With the installation of the new scat- ter system, each person was al- lowed self-service, and the new sys- tem also left the lunchroom workers free to offer a larger variety of hot foods in addition to keeping the sal- ad bar well-stocked When the 1986-87 school year started, other changes took place After returning in the fall, faculty and students were faced with an in- crease in lunch prices. The lunch- room workers were also faced with the job of preparing an additional 250 lunches a day. The extra meals were sent to the middle school to help out during the building of their new lunchroom and kitchen Although quite a few students eat school lunches, others bring their own lunches from home. Junior Mike Mieure says, ‘‘l just like home- cooked food better than lunchroom food.’’ Many simply use the 20 min- ute period to do homework for up- coming classes or to visit with friends Whether one buys, brings, or sim- ply does not eat lunch, the fourth period lunchtime is always anxiously awaited. Maybe it’s because lunch- time isn’t just a time to satisfy one’s appetite, it is also a time for catch- ing up on the latest news or for cramming for that forgotten test Whatever the reason may be, fourth period will probably remain the most-looked-forward-to time of the school day!
