Eat, eat, eat ... — Food was a big part of our school day from regular meals to snacks. Throughout the year we were bombarded with snacks, candy sales, bake sales, lunches, and club banquets. Before and after school and between classes, the break area was packed with people buying cokes, potato chips, cookies, and candy bars. The Beta Club, Civinettes, Band, FBLA, and Library Club sold candy to raise money for various projects. The Cougar Chronicle staff members, Kewanettes, FHA, and FBLA sold baked goods to help us make it to lunch as well as to help them make money. Then during lunch we were given three choices of food to eat — a regular class A meal, a salad, or soup and a sandwich. Food, in special and fancy styles, came our way through the following social activities: the band had a Christmas party and a spaghetti supper; the Beta Club had a Senior dinner; the Civinettes and DECA Club had pinning banquets; the FBLA had a Christmas Tea; the Key Club had an awards banquet All year, if we were ever hungry, the only thing we had to do was to look around and we were sure to find some kind of food to satisfy our hunger.

[foaming ... through the halls, standing in the lobby, sitting in the library, attending classes, doing make up work — were all a part of our daily routine. As we roamed through the halls and stood in the lobby each day, we found out what our fellow students were doing and when they were doing it. We became reacquainted with old friends as well as found new ones. We sat in the library doing last-minute homework that we had not done the night before. We worked problems, took notes, had tests, and studied for our classes each day. All of these were only a part of our educational experiences of a memorable 1979-80 school year. 15
