1- Take me To McDonalds! Cleffj Lillie lndiOnS fbelowj Wow! These X-ray glasses look greaf - I-lorrag for Free Blocks Grab a hamburger, finish some maTh homework, review for The hisTory TesT, caTch up on some sleep. WhaT do all These acTiviTies have in common? They are whaT happens each day aT NewTon SouTh during free blocks. As freshmen we all sTarTed off wiTh one or maybe Two free blocks. We spenT Them in The cafe when we were noT in sTudy hall, or for varieTy we wenT To The library every so of- Ten. And Those days when we were feeling kind of wild, we would walk To Fred's. As we grew older, we grew wiser. We reauesTed A-block free, in order To sleep an exTra hour, or perhaps F-block or G- block insTead, so as To be dis- missed early. Even Those of us wiTh free blocks in The middle of The day have found someThing To keep us busy besides The ex- oiTemenT of The cafe. IT is highly unlikely To walk inTo Dunkin' DonuTs, Dom and Marios, or lvlcDonalds wiThouT seeing friends from NewTon SouTh. For Those of us wiThouT cars, or for Those who do noT feel The need To go ouT, There are always commons rooms, The courT- yard, or The flagpole. These are places To do homework or re- lax and Talk To friends. Free blocks are seldom wasTed Time aT NewTon SouTh. by Rona l-lursT STudenT Life 27
