As he sits in his third penod class, the average REL student debates with himself on what to have lor lunch. Should he go out to eat. or should he eat the school food, which he has done since elementary school? Eventually, he decides to stay at school, which a majority of his fellow students also usually elect to do. Despite having the advan- tage of an open campus, most students still remain in the cafeteria or commons at lunch. These places have ample room to eat. visit, or even do home- work; thus, most people stay and either eat their homemade lunch or what the school has to offer. The latter choice, howev- er. has often been the target of much unfair abuse. Although the reputation of school food has always been an Infamous as homework, it is a very good deal. A hamburger is only 45$ here, while one bought off- campus is more than a dollar. The cafeteria also provides a full meal for 90$. When it comes to eating, it's hard to match the atmosphere of the commons or cafeteria with the good prices of the food. Whik- titling in 1l t» common . Mike KovoVik wwh.i; k» Morn» Itotne cooking.

1 Average An average day at Lee High usually begins at the center of the school-the commons. There the students gather be- fore class to trade gossip, dis- cuss the merits and dements of their teachers, and wnte tiny crib notes on their wnsts. At the sound of the bell the com- mons erupts into activity as ev- eryone heads in the direction of their first period class. Dur- ing the first class of the day half the students in each room fight to stay awake, while the other half try their hardest to fall asleep again. At last the long- est period of the day is over, but only live minutes later, the second longest penod begins. Often those students who have a filler first period amve just a little late and must argue their case before the teacher. By the end of second period almost everyone has shaken off the sleepiness, and is fairly ready to face the rest of the day. Finally midday rolls around and fnends split up for awhile Day as some head for fourth penod and others take first lunch. First lunch ends, and shortly thereafter, second lunch be- gins. none too soon for those obliged to wait that extra hour. Soon, the second wave sub- sides and the cafetena workers can sit back, relax, and begin preparations for tomorrow, when it will all be repeated. Stragglers tnckle in from the parking lot trying to remember if this will be the deremit that sends them to SAC. The distn- butive education students leave at about noon to go to work under the various voca- tional programs offered at Lee. Finally, that final bell rings at 3, and class is over for another day. By 3:15 most students are off the campus, but many re- main for extra curricular activi- ties. Gradually as dusk falls the rest of the students return home and Lee High school on the banks of mighty Goose Creek closes down for another night.
