No more leisurely lunch at Kentucky or the King Going cold turkey emember the time when the one hour in the mid- dle of the day was a chance to escape the doldrums of school? A relaxing lunch is now just a memory for juniors and seniors. Thirty minutes doesn't go far for hungry stu- dents. By the time you stand in line, either to get snacks or stand in the regular line, lunch is halfway over. After stealing a chair from the table next to you so you can sit with your friends, you cram down your food only to hear the bell ring for next period. l'm really sick of being rushed. Lunch isn't even like a break because we have to hurry so much, said senior Cxerri Felling. In years past PG students en- joyed a full hour of off-campus relaxation.

But students gradually ad- justed tothe short lunch and long lines. After a few months students made the best of the situation by find- ing ways to make lunch ex- citing. Bringing brown bags wasn't enough for some peo- ple. Different kinds of lunch boxes appeared every- where.

Looking back, seniors realize that the stolen priv- ilege of open campus might not have been so bad after all. They saved a little gas and got a little closer.

This was partly because of the changing customs each year. When I was in high school, we could make the guy a little mum, said senior English teacher Lori Ables.

I would say the girl spends around S100, said senior Gregg Knaupe. Well, close. The average cost for the entire night is around 5150, including the mum, dinner, etc. 'II think the guys need to be treated like this because we have to do it all year long, said Chad Davis.
