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!

16 tudent Life The annual big broth- ers big sisters program was very successful for the 1986-87 year. On the morning of August 27, all seniors and freshmen gathered on the front lawn to await their sibling assignments Each freshman was paired to a certain senior based on common interests, simi- lar personalities, and newly developed friend- ships. The purposes of the program were to unite the senior and Clare Vance and Tiffany Word socialize during the program with their big eiete ne Snic sister Elaine Spicer freshmen classes, to give freshmen a better chance to know the school, and to develop new friendships. Many newcomers were also able to gain advice and help if needed. Fresh- man Todd Davis re- marked, ‘‘The freshmen class seemed to get a lot out of it. The Student Council did a good job of pairing people up.’’ The Student Council project was prepared last spring and finalized in the fall. j Thomas, Darlene Young Mary Ann Sailes and =Veronic: evould participate in the progran Senior Randy Johnson gives words of wisdom to his little brott ers Roger Hughes and Shannon Blackburn Meg Perkins joins her new friends, Cheryl Junkins and Leanne Robinson in the midst of the Student Council program
