Whether people ate, people watched, socialized, studied or went off campus, everyone found ways to occupy their 30 minutes of Chow Time As watches beeped at 12:00 noon, each PHS stu- dent started to look forward to those last 15 minutes of fourth period. Lunch was looked forward to by everyone as a break from schoolwork. Many relaxed, visited with friends, or went to see some cute guys, as commented by Lisa laggers. One addition to PHS lun- chtimes was the Pirate Cruiser, which allowed students to buy their lunches out in the quad area. To some it was like a fast food restaurant, but some com- plained the hot food was cold. Another addition was Dl's in the quad the day of a foot- ball rally. Many enjoyed the entertainment, yet some complained in the lack of variety in the music. Many left campus to get lunch at Burger King, McDonald's, or Kentucky Fried Chicken, just to name a few. They, along with other students, complained of the short U2 hour allotted for lunch. Nevertheless, lunch satisfied the hunger students had for food and relaxation. - Heidi Smith Angela Estes finishes last-minute homeworkduringlunch.
