very messy. I take pride in my appearance. Here come the A, B, and C, lunch crowds. Do I tire? No, once again I come through and provide a happy atmosphere where there are no test pressures or reprimanding teachers. Enjoy, students. Oh dear, this is the worst time of the day. All the excitement of lunch is over. No more staged fights, fires in the french fry machine or sale of the homemade baked goodies until tomorrow. I am afraid that I have been left in a terrible state. My once gleaming floors are complete with crumbled baggies, lettuce leaves, and old sandwich crusts. I just know that the students did not do it purposely. Ah, salvation. My janitor friends are here. Ooohh, that mop tickles. Ahh, the sponge’s water is so cold, but I love it. Once again I am the pride of the school. I certainly never get lonely. Now, I have two more study halls and then my day will be almost over. 2:40 p.m. is here and the students arej ready to embark on their journey home. Of course, those bus people could not resist sit- ting at my shiny tables once more before leaving. I am waiting patiently for my day to end as I listen to the pattering of dancing feet as the Drill Team dances up a storm. It is quiet at last. Although 1 do love provid- ing the students with so much, it does get a bit tiring. But by tomorrow, I will be as good as new and waiting in anticipation for those 7:45 students. Shining, dining It’s the start of a beautiful day. My tables are shining, my floors are gleaming, and I, the cafeteria, am prepared to meet my fans. I do not want to sound like I’m bragging, but I am the most popular spot in the school. If you don ' t want to take my word for it, cafeteria extends past let the students be the 281 Social Hotspot A,B,C lunch judge. It’s 7:45 a.m. and a mad rush is com- ing to occupy my seats. The students who arrived, whether by bus or car, might have just passed through now as they were going to their lockers, but I know that they will be back. Well, why not? I offer them the opportunity to buy a nutri- cious breakfast complete with sweetrolls, fruit and milk, plus a relaxing meeting place to catch up on the juicy gossip of last night ' s date. Oh, the things I hear . . . but that’s an- other story. The 8 a.m. bell blared but of course more students will rush for my tables to work in study hall. I overheard one student say that this was his favorite class. What do you ex- pect? Look where it is located! Third hour has arrived and I am being filled with a tantalizing aroma of sizzling french fries and hamburgers. This happens to be one of my favorite dishes because it is not Shuteye. While waiting for the morning bell to ring, sen- ior Rick Fehring catches up on his sleep. Hotspot. Early arrivers use the cafeteria for study pur- poses. As time goes on more students congregate either to have some doughnuts and milk or just chat with a friend.
