-Br - «—f a . h!hat A hl aist Students studied and worked hard all morning anticipating a break to relax and eat lunch. What they found were endless lunch lines and crowds of peo- ple. Only juniors and seniors were al- lowed to leave campus at lunch to choose from a variety of local fast-food restaurants. That is, those whose par- ents had come to school and personally signed permission slips for off campus lunch, were allowed to leave during lunch time. Of those confined to campus, some kept at least one eye on their waist and didn ' t eat lunch, but looked forwardTo lunchtime activites which came to the rescue as an escape from some of the madness and elbow-to-elbow crowd- ing. Rallies allowed cheering and a show of support for the Viking teams as well as class competitions. It was also an appropriate time for short club meet- ings or an opportunity for the selling of fund raisers. There were a few students who served as cooks, waitresses, and dish washers during first or second lunch. The Viking Inn, located on the end of the M wing was open four days a week. Staff members and their guests, as well as off campus adults, were wel- come to eat in the Viking Inn. In addi- tion, there were many teachers who used this facility to reward hard working and or high achieving stu- dents with a tasty lunch and little fear that the time spent would be a waist! A til It may be crowded, but many students like John Cole and his friends do eat regularly in the cafeteria. It saves a lot of time and money! Nice weather means that students like Kim Cartlidge, Angela Hanson, and Leslie Garcia can enjoy eating outside. Long and slow describes the daily lunch line even well into the lunch period.

Juanelma Herring claimed, 1 can ' t wait for it to end! Leslie Arnold confessed that her first thoughts included, Did I do my home- work? The best part of class was get- ting involved. That was the only way to overcome the tedious bordem of lec- tures, notes, and writing assignments. What ' s exciting about boredom? Well, you can learn a lot in the tradi- tional required classes which in- crease yearly. The problem is that you always have to worry about homework in those classes. But how do you tell the difference? All science classes are tough, but all science classes aren ' t required. That holds true for each de- partment. Therefore, it doesn ' t work to dread just the required classes. We need to learn to be selective. Some classes are organized in a way that makes you look forward to going everyday — well, almost everyday. You get to cook (and eat your own food) in home economics. (Some might not con- sider that too exciting.) In T.V. produc- tion, you get to film and act in plays. Taking care of animals and preparing them for shows keeps the agriculture students busy. Participating and po- lishing your talents can result in profits onder earned in classes like ceramics, jewel- ry, leather, and art when you sell your projects. It required a lot of work, but 1 enjoyed getting involved with the ca- reer center, expressed Riane Costa of her T.A. class in the career center. Wonder what classes you should take? It only takes a minute to make an ap- pointment with your counselor. Of course, most students have completed their four-year-plans and know what they will be taking each semester. At any rate, there is no time like the pre- sent to stretch your mind and never cease to wonderl Karlne D. S Anna If. Class ? Activities

Yrequent patrons of the Viking Inn, Mr. Cochran (drafting instructor), Mr. Johnson (health and driver ' s education), and Mr. Holloway (math) enjoy the varied menu offered in daily specials. Regular trips to McDonald ' s keep this group busy gulping their food and hurrying back to avoid being late and swept into OCD. Ejfi One junior class fund raiser was the Halloween Grams.
