Junkie Reveals Her Habit A major part of every student's day is taken up thinking about food. Without it. how could we make through mathematics, sci- ence or English? Lunch would porbably be no more than an empty space in our schedule. There are many means of survival. Each person has his or her own distinctive tastes and that determines the method of fulfilling the craving. Luckily. Quincy offers a variety of foods that appeal to nearly every taste. The swallowing of junk food makes the swal- lowing of classes a little bit easier. Before school, one can stop off at Sher Drug and load up on gum, Rolos, or even onion rings. There are Hershey bars. Snickers bars or sour cream and onion potatoe chips. One can buy a dough- nut at the counter and a bottle of Mott’s apple juice. There are always packages of Chips-a- Hoy cookies and a small carton of milk avail- able to wash it down. If one cannot make it into Sher Drug, there is always the ETC store on the bridge. There are Skors. Milky Way bars. Charleston Chews and fig bars. The only problems is the the ETC store's hours do not always coincide with one’s needs. In fact, the store now closes at lunch. The various activities in school also cater to the junkie's habit. Plain and Peanut M Ms are sold by nearly every group. There are choc- olate bars with and without almonds or car- amel. crunch bars. Snickers and peanut butter cups. Some groups cater to the exotic tastes of boxed peanut butter delights, mint truffles, tur- tles. nutty pleasures, or other various assort- ments. Bags of assorted candies are sold each holiday like at Halloween or Valentine’s Day. At Christmas, there are candy canes, chocolate Santas, reindeer and mugs and jars of assorted goodies. The junk is just enough to hold one over until lunch time rolls around. One may eat a meat- ball sub or a chicken sandwich or pizza. Some- one not so hungry may only have french fries, chocolate chip cookies, cheese crackers with peanut butter, or an ice cream sandwich. On the lighter side there are soups, salads, or apples. If the school menu just won’t do. one can always sneak out to Gina’s or McDonald’s. After school one cannot make that long bus ride home on an empty stomach. It's a short walk over to the Acropolis for a slice of pizza. Or how about a whopper at Burger King. Noth- ing tastes better than a cheese potato with extra cheese and sour cream at Wendy's. So one can see that food plays a big part in your success at school. When you remember Quincy High and Voc-Tech. remember the food. I know I will. I wonder what’s left in the refrigerator.

‘Re vuUUttf; Dividing the Class E Ilf beginning the our senior year brought about some major changes in the operation of Quincy High School and Quincy Vocational Technical School. For the first time ever each school elected their own class officers. This created separate student councils and separate leadership in the two buildings. Elections for the two sets of officers were not coordinated at all. The elections took place on different days and only students in the high school could vote for the high school candidates. In the vocational technical school, it was the same story. Only Voc- Tech students could vote for the Voc-Tech officers. It appeared the beginning of the total break-up of the two school system which had operated since the formation of the Vocational School in 1967. some twenty years ago. As the school year got under way. there were other rumors for the division of the schools. The academic faculty which had been asked to teach part-time in the Voc- Tech during the 1986-87 school year were being sounded to determine who would be willing to become full-time Vocational Tech- nical School academic faculty for the 1988- 89 school year. All the signs for a total division were in place for the break-up. No one will know the outcome of these preparations until the next school year be- cause there are no definite plans set in place as yet. If the speculations for the division are true, it could create more problems than it would solve or possibly end many previous troubles. Sports teams in the High School would not be affected to any large extent. For instance, the football team, including all the freshmen, would lose approximately 10 of 75 players at the most. Other teams would likely lose about the same proportion. The effort by Quincy High to enter the Old Col- ony League might be improved by the loss of the Vocational Technical School students by creating even a smaller school for calcu- lating their division. Only next year will re- veal the how the changes will end up af- fecting the two schools.
