0h boy! Excitement grows as Christopher Burke explores the goodies inside his Super Heroes lunch box. Kindergartners learned early not to trust the food in the cafeteria. Grln and bear It. Less fortunate Patriots are forced to tolerate the food served by the cafeteria. The atmosphers is pleasant even though the food isn't. Q. ,p lt's a mouthful. The ramps provide standing room only for Patriots to talk with their friends and enjoy their lunch. Bottoms up. The pits and goodies from the bookstore suffice for lunch when eating in the cafeteria is out of the question and transportation is unavailable. N o Q , ,f Dany Grind-9

. 46 AN S Da in da out 8-Stude When's the bell? In spite of not being able to accommodate all the student drivers, the parking lot is a logical spot for Bart Barnett, Lisa Edelstein, Marc Sydow and Mike McKinnis to retreat from books for a short but welcomed 30-minute lunch. Surprise! James Watson watches Mrs. Julia Ann McGehee, who left Parkview to become director of communications for the school district, open a present at a going away party. Parties sometimes brought a welcomed break in the school day. Relief at last! Gastronomic delights to quiet growling tummies ranged from gourmet sandwiches built as home to cafeteria surprises, which could have been anything from rubber pizza to soybean burgers. As the noon hour rolled around, Patriots found more than one avenue to explore. Each student had three options: 13 brown-bag it, 25 suffer through the cafeteria food or 33 make a break for Bimbo's, Wendy's or wherever time allowed. Contrary to the open campus policy practiced by Hall High, just across town, Parkview officially had a closed campus. The only difference in our campus and Hall's is they skip legally and we just skip, said senior Chuck Carek. nt Life Do the hustle. Vicki Painton, Kris Nelson and Donna Williams hurry back to class after a quick run to Burger King and 7-11. Munch down. Second lunch provides just enough time for Eric Hagler to indulge in a burger and fries from Burger King, the closest fast food restaurant to Parkview.

Day in, day out The HFS! filly ff Christ-mls. Interpretive A one and a two. Mrs. Ferrol Hicks conducts the Communications students' presentation of The orchestra in its performance at the Christmas Twelve Days of Christmas is an added extra at the assembly. annual Christmas assembly. 10-Student Life .www Assemblies brought a welcome change of pace to otherwise dull days. All types of assemblies were sponsored by clubs and other groups, ranging from pep assemblies to the all-time favorite talent show. Pep assemblies were a great asset in raising school spirit. Not only did they provide the opportunity for Patriots to stand as a school for a particular purpose, but they also gave students the chance to segregate themselves into classes and try to yell the loudest during class competition. ' 'I'll never forget the feeling I had about being able to yell 'senior' at that first pep assembly, after waiting so long and suffering degrading feelings about being a sophomore of junior, ' ' said Kathy Bradford. Holiday assemblies at Christmas and Thanksgiving were also occasions to remember. Peevee Jazz, directed by Sterling Ingram, gave the Thanksgiving program, while a solo performance by Lucious Powell, guidance counselor, highlighted the Christmas assembly, which included performances by the Spanish and German Clubs, Choir, Band and Orchestra. Interpretative Communications performed a reader's theatre, The Twelve Days of Christmas, as an added extra. Theme of the annual talent show, sponsored by the senior class, was Dialing for Talent, a take off on Dialing for Dollars. Hosted by Beth Wart lKaren Joyce! and Tom Bummer CKeith Smithl, the assembly opened with a vocal performance by the Madrigals and included skits, bands, vocal combinations and dances. The song sung by Paul Rogers and Yvette Preyer was my favorite, said Marc Mariner. They sounded really good. They're both pretty talented people. Assemblies were only one way of separating the normal days from the special ones.
