Single serving lines in both buildings create a lunchbreak that is a case of Hurry up and wait Returning students who enjoyed eating in the school cafeterias last year found something had changed over the summer. Only one serving line was operating in each cafeteria, and there were fewer workers to prepare and serve the food. “The staff was cut because there was not enough participation,” said Mrs. Burnice Grant, manager of the Mark Smith lunchroom. The reduction in staff forced the closing of one serv- ing line in each building, since there were not enough workers to keep both going. Students who patronize the school cafeteria were unhappy with the ar- rangement primarily because it cut down on study time in the library or on social time. Freshman Valerie Germany said, “If you are an academic student and also a believer of eating proper meals daily, this one-line system causes a problem.” And there were other problems. Senior Janice Moore said, “Many students are late to class and are as- signed detention as a result of the long lines.” Sophomore Candice Hughes said, “With one line we have no choice but to run to lunch.” A second line was finally opened in both cafeterias in mid-November.

Keen spirit competition between juniors and seniors, prom dresses and tuxes, successful bonfire made Homecoming events sparkle Football season may have been over, but the fun was just starting as the final game was designated as Homecoming. Students took part in the traditional costume days. Monday was ’50’s Day and Twin Day; Tuesday was Class Color Day and Celebrity Day; Wednesday was College Jersey Day and Sports Day; Thursday was Dress- Up Day and Career Day; and Friday, the game day, was School Colors Day. The most unusual day was Dress-up COLLEGE JERSEY DAY brought out t- shirts in a variety of colors and mascots. (Photo by J. Battle.) THE WINNING SPIRIT CHAIN, sold one link at a time, almost filled the center circle of the gym. (Photo by R. Ross). Day because a number of seniors de- cided to really do it right. The girls wore prom dresses and the boys wore tuxedos or suits. During the week, DECA sponsored its traditional Spirit Chain race be- tween the classes. Once again, the real race was between the juniors and seni- ors, with the juniors coming out on top. Third place went to the soph- omores, and the freshmen came in last. The official announcement of the Spirit Chain winner was made during the Thursday night pep rally bonfire. Unlike the last few years, organizers considered the bonfire a success. Friday night, of course, was the big night as the fans went to the game in big numbers to cheer the football team on and to see the crowning of the Homecoming Court. The evening was bittersweet. Although the court selec- tions seemed to please the crowd, the Raiders fell 13-14 to the Baldwin Braves. (Copy design by J. Battle). TITGA
