In my lobby, friends separated by the summer months reunited. In my gym, over 800 students re- ceived their copy of HORIZON 1980. In my cafeteria, coke, sprite and potato chips vanished from the dai- ly fare, while oranges and apples took their place. In my boiler room, a malfunc- tioning air conditioner strained to cool students in summer clothes. However, it was no match for the 100-degree outdoor temperature. On my sports fields, students clad in black and gold gym uni- forms, grasping footballs and la- crosse sticks, trampled the grass. Well, I guess things aren't gonna be so bad. And for 180 days I won't be lonely. 38 1....l 5 4 ..f 'Ek l I I Is it Mean Joe Greene? No, it's number 83-tight end Darryl Conney-completing a pass in the Homecoming game.

Summer means Ocean City for thousands of people, especially for many Randallstown students. To these RHSers, Ocean City means warm, sunny days spent lying on the beach and fun-filled nights spent walking up and down the boardwalk, getting together with friends on the back porch of the Carousel, and just generally hav- ing a good time. Why are so many attracted to this small, crowded town on the Eastern shore of Maryland? Why do teens want to live, work or visit there all summer? What is so de- sirable about jobs which demand long hours and offer only average pay? The reasons are innumerable. I go to the ocean to meet people, to have fun, to get a tan and to par- ty! remarks senior Cheryl Savet- man. Junior Steven Blaustein's rea- sons are somewhat similar. I like to go on the beach and catch the women and the rays. My favorite thing to do there is meet peo- ple-of the opposite sex! Similarly, Renee Pintzuk goes to Ocean City to relax, meet peo- ple, and lay out in the sun, even though I don't lshe doesn't1 get a suntan. Another aspect of Ocean City's mystique is Coastal Highway-an always busy and overcrowded street which is to Ocean City as Sunset Strip is to Hollywood. It has hotels, motels, apartments and condominiums ranging in quality from seedy to ultra-mod- ern, restaurants serving every- thing from Big Macs to filet mig- non, and shop selling everything from sunscreen to designer cloth- ing. Coastal Highway's contrasts help create its attrahent charm. Whatever the attraction, people continue to flock there, squeezing out every last drop of summer fun until they must, once again, return to school in September. Summer 198011

, Q? WeIL I lost my activity card . . Yearbook H e y , W h e r e s t h e C 0 k e . 800 The Baltimore County Board of Education has announced the re- moval of junk food from county school cafeterias, effective during the 1980-81 school year. The decision was made in accor- dance with a U.S. Department of Ag- riculture ruling fin an attemptj to get the students moving in the direction of balanced meals, states Baltimore County Food Services Director Stan- ley Smith. The balanced meals include a com- bination of meat, bread, vegetables, fruit and milk. Junk foods run counter to what we are trying to accomplish. Mr. Smith emphasizes that, of the banned foods, soft drinks have little or no nutritive value while potato chips are high in fats. Ice cream and TastyKakes were retained because they were found to contain tive percent of the minimum daily requirement considered man- datory by law, he adds. By banning junk foods from school cafeterias, the Board of Education hopes to educate students in nutri- tive eating habits. School officials hope that the re- moval of these items will force stu- dents, accustomed to snacking on junk foods at lunch time,to snack on more wholesome foods. j The ruling was instituted at a heavy cost to the county. The Board of Education stands to lose S600,000 from cancelled soft drink sales alone. Despite this, Mr. Smith approves of the ruling. If you don't have a balanced diet, it's going to affect your learning. -Richard Himelfarb ?, 'S E ui, . A' .1 nfl? R' l ' I 5 .4-Q Y . 1 ru 1 .
