Most resisted, remind- ing themselves that rules were a small price to pay for the privilege of going to school. But there were always a few who had to pay the consequences, which, depending on the case, ranged from being kept a few minutes after class to being expelled. Principal Iames Smith said that punishments for major offenses were pre-set, and neglect to observe them could end in automatic suspension. He cited disrespect for authori- ties and fighting as the most serious types of offenses. He also said that leaving school without permission could lead to suspension. Students had their own ideas about how to solve the problems. Senior Carolyn Adams said that if Northeast would change to an open campus, students wouldn't be tempt- ed to skip. I'd be satisfied with having an open campus just during lunch, she said. Senior David Hoisager also said that open campus would reduce skipping. ' Other regulations were enforced, but did not involve such strict punishment. Chewing gum and eating snacks was not permitted anywhere except in the cafeteria. Iunior Ianna Iennings said that this rule was very inconvenient. My mind is connected to my stomach, she said. Carol Dimond J Golden Rules 21

Watch those Hngers- school cafeteria is perfect for Eddie Vestal ILEFTJ and Steve Ambort to enjoy their sack lunch. hen dinner time rolled around and stomachs started to growl, Chargers started thinking about where they wanted to eat. Not only did students think about where they wanted to eat but also, whom they wanted for company. Cajun's Warf, a steak and sea food restaurant on the Arkansas River, was one of the most popular places. Students said that the atmos- phere created by the river front decor always brought them back to Cajun's. Sir Loins Inn, in North Little Rock was also a popular choice, and McDonalds was everybody's kind of place. Student's preoccupation with eating had a big effect on their social life, because who wants to eat alone? Not only did students prefer seafood restaurants, but they also named fish and seafood as their favorite food. The All American hamburger was a favorite choice too. Yes, eating out with dates was a way of life and from it came some rather embarrassing moments. Sophomore Mark Farris des- cribed a date during which he found himself a little short on money. I was at Cajun's Warf eating and when the check came my wallet was gone he said, I didn't want my date to know, so I went and talked to the waiter. We worked things out so I could call someone to bring me my wallet. junior Carol Dixon said she sometimes has trouble keeping everything on the table. I was eating out at Tak-A-Taco and I was reaching across the table. When I did, the cheese-dip and my glass of water fell on the floor! she said. Then I just sat there and turned sta-rk-raving red. Senior Lynette Hall said her embarrassing moment related to eating came when her desert jumped to the floor. I was at a formal banquet eating apple pie and ice cream, she said, when I stuck my fork in the pie, both of them fell on the floor! Through all the embarassing moments and trying to decide what and where, the Chargers always managed to eat! Karen Callaway Chargers munch a bunch FAST 50 GCD Eating-23
