Was that a classic case or what? This was just one example of many irritating habits we called pet peeves. There are many more; for example people who chewed finger- nails, shook the desk in front of them, put make-up on in class, twirled their hair, copied people’s homework, and bit on the end of a pencil’ Becky Goss’ biggest com- plaint. was “when girls chew on their hair.” On. ihe other hand, Rhonda Wilson confessed that she was guilty of “shaking people’s desks in front of me.” These twongirls-expressed their opinion.

Paige McDuffee takes advantage by en- joying her ice cream and orange juice. “Hey guys, let usin on the joke.” Juniors, Alex Dar- rough, Greg McCoy, and Thom Shull let out their frustrations during lunch. Eating On The Run Five minutes till’ the bell. It was almost lunch time. As the bell rang everyone rushed out the door toward the cafeteria, to have the “group” table (the one we’ve had prearranged since receiving our schedules), or be the first in line for the days special, or grab something from the snackbar and make the usual “Hey, what’s up?” rounds. (making sure to hit all the spots. ) After the whole group arrived, you’d head for the line. During the 5-10 minutes you waited you catch up on the latest, that monstrous Human Phys. test or how tough English was. ““We usually talk about the latest couples and who broke up with who,” states Nicole Brown. Then the big decision, what to get; there are so many. After the decision you spend anywhere from 85¢ to $2.00 for lunch, depending on the extras. Finally it was back to the table where the chair search began. “Trying to find a chair was the worst thing about the lunch,” states sophomore Matt Bestick. By the time you got around to actually eating lunch, your 25 minutes had dwindled down to 3 or 4. So it was a race to finish, take up the tray, and don’t forget;“‘Green on green, yellow on yellow,” and off to your next class. Student Life 29
