Among these was open lunch. Northwest's policy allowed all students the opportunity to leave the school grounds during their 45-minute lunch period. Students were able to eat out at the variety of fast food restaurants located near the school or go home. They could also stay on campus and either purchase a school lunch for 151.20 or bring a sack lunch from home. Because students were permitted to leave the school grounds during this time, they could also run errands and make quick trips home to get a forgotten assignment or school books needed for their afternoon classes. Many students found it an easy way to finish home work or simply visit with friends they otherwise did not see throughout the day. Some students were permitted to participate in activities held in the gymnasium such as ping- pong, basketball and volleyball. Open lunch provided much freedom, that while most students appreciated and respected the responsibility that went with it, others abused it. On several occasions, students would use the time to consume alcoholic beverages or use it as an ex- cuses to be late to their next class after lunch. The abuse of the open lunch policy caused some inconvenience for the ad- ministration and other classmates, however, the open lunch policy was not altered during the school year.

Sophomores to enhance 'Adopt-A-Spooe' program Throughout the first five years at Northwest, many traditions were established. One of these traditions was a program called 'Adopt-A-Spooe'. This program has been a part of Northwest for four years and was undertaken in an attempt to help young sophomores adjust to the changes from junior high to high schooll. The program was designed to make sophomores more at ease in their new environment and give them an older friend to come to with any problems or questions about their new school. In the process, an adopted sophomore received a free lunch, treated to them by his adopter and a friend who is experienced in the ways of the school. Even though the program had been around for a while, a way had not been found to get all the sophomore class members adopted. Some of the sophomores that were not adopted felt that they were left out. But the class of '85 doesn't want the 'left out' feeling to continue. I was not adopted and I felt bad about it. So I know that next year I'm gonna do my share of adopting Qincoming sophomoresjf' said one sophomore stu- dent. Adpot-A-Spooe has worked. Many sophomores were glad that someone was there to help them out at the beginning of the school year. So the class of '85 wants to not only carry on this Northwest tradition, but to make it better. if Denver Geer 1 Russel Gehrke ' Laura Giggy Brian Gilchrist L William Gilkey .
