Lunch is a time when everybody relaxes. The cafeteria is filled with busy students and teachers who just do their own thing. e lae or e -f 9' I L new sd Among the 136 people in the line was a jum- ble of conversations. Hey Mr. Ogburnl She is breaking in line! What time is it? l'm Hungry! We won't get to sit down til this afternoon. Is the line moving today? The other 146 people across the cafeteria were engaged in various activities. Sophomore Bobby Bowman, used his entire lunch period talking to his special person. The strenuous activity of gos- siping mostly took place at the lunch tables, on the brick wall and ramp, and outside on the patio. Velvet Davis, Penny Morris, Tonya Davis, Kim Gaster, and Tina Green were always togeth- er and keeping up with the latest information. Selling of the yearbooks and newspapers, the Army recruiters coming to sign up people were some of the things that gave lunch interest. Trying to combat some ofthe problems in the cafeteria, Mr. Shackelford set aside a special sec- tion down by the main office where the juniors and Seniors sat. The teachers also had a special section by the telephones. Long tables were meant for groups of people to sit together and salad bar with numerous deli- Students and teachers build pyramids our of salad when they use the delicious edibles that are available. Patiently waiting to make his pyramid is Mr. Corder. cious edibles helped solve the cafeteria bore- dom. The teachers helped Mr. Shackelford combat the problems. On a rotating schedule each teach- er stood on duty to make sure there were no disturbances. Mrs. Mylan caught about 99 per- cent ofthe students trying to break. Her secret of the matter meant that she practically memorized the line. Coach Gregory almost always sneaked into the line to get him a Mickey Mouse ice cream, while Mr. Ogburn edged into the line to get his favorite dessert: a fudgecicle. Coach Bulla protected his creation ofa salad by covering it with gobs of salad dressing, and Coach Ferguson drank mixed milk, He poured chocolate and white milk back and forth from carton to carton until it reached the right consistency. Having this 55 minute period of relaxation for the students and teachers was a time for getting away. We looked to lunch as a time to make our day more lively and bearable. Student Lifef27

For many students, these words meant one period a day of a confusing new language. No, not French or Spanish or anything like that, but something called Basic. They used this language to coax the computer into doing what they want- ed-at least sometimes it did. The students went through a program that taught them the correct instructions on the use of the computer. Arcades were just computers in disguise. Their main goal was to get your money. Such people asjeff Inman and Matt Goley were often seen taken in by visual characteristics of the game. There were mixed feelings about computers at RHS. Many students felt they were taking over. Others didn't like the thought that a ma- chine was smarter then they, yet, there were still those that saw the work a computer can do. Computers were just a small addition to the school this year. But, with them this school ran smoother. Mr. Shackleford's first year went bet- ter with the help of computers. Attendance sheets were more accurate and memos more nu- merous. Because of the friendliness of the Apple Ile, office workers Scarlet Cox and Anita Swain were surprised at the ease of getting their work completed. On this way, RHS was up with the modern world, letting computers work for it. Typing the needed words to complete the memo, Mr. Shack- elford takes the easy way out. His computer will finish the letter, Student Lifef29
