Eating lunch: During the lunch hour which lasts from 11:30 a.m. to 12:20 p.m. transported students are given the use of room 1043. This room, which makes it convenient to eat in school,is provided with chairs, tables, and milk and soda machines. Although this room makes eating convenient and inexpensive, many students prefer to huy their lunches at one of the many nearhy snack liars. After eating the students spend the rest of the hour engaging in a variety of activities: those who are conscientious use the remaining time doing homework or studying for an examination, others find it a good time to rewind hy going for a ride with some of their friends, the car enthusiasts pass the time discussing and demonstrating their automobiles. But by far the majority of the students spend their time social- izing. The girls, and a few hoys, find this a convenient time to freshen-up. A number of the faculty members eat in the home economics room. The teachers spend their hour in much the same manner as the students, that is, unwinding. A few husy teachers find this a suitable time to correct papers, check homework, etc. All in all the lunch hour is one well- spent. WIP? Down at Langis'. Enjoying yourselves boys?
