O ' Guinn, Brenda O ' Keete. Susan Oceguera, George Oceguera, Manuel Lunch Activities Starve Stomachs L espite the popular misconception, lunch IS not just o time to grab the grub and feed your face. It is also a time when, every so often, a throng of stu- dents conglomerate in the quad for what are congenially known as lunch- time activities. A long time ago (a year, at least) when I was a timid freshmen, I shyed away from all the commotion. But now, being a more mature, sensible sopho- more, I ' m eager to participate with my classmates and how everyone that the class of ' 85 is the one to beat. During football homecoming week, we sophomores were out in full force. On Monday, the week was launched with the baby-bottle contest. Filled with grapefruit juice, the bottles were passed out among the participants, who, when given the signal, began sucking, suck- ing, and sucking . . . The tricycle race was also very inter- esting. Yes, I actually had to ride a tricy- cle, and in a race, no less. My knees are permanently bruised from the horrid beating I gave myself that day, trying to manuever that ridiculous little vehicle along a race course. As Jan Nila said, It looked pretty difficult. Pretty impossi- ble, in fact. I ' ll have to agree that the contests ore an effective way to promote spirit, pride, and class support. Besides, they give us a chance to prove that sopho- mores are definitely and undoubtably the best, ik- 1. Supporting his class, sophomore Tim Devore participates in the baby bottle contest. 2. Atop Steve Huerta ' s back, Jason Bouzos holds on to provide the sophomores with a chance at a victory. 3. The sophomores ' strength and endurance leads them to a triumph during Homecoming Week. 161

Feeding Hungry Herd Isn ' t Easy •o far, so good. Here I am attempting to stand inconspicuously in this cute, adorable little white concession stand. Is it my imagination, or ore the walls clos- ing in on me? I think I ' m becoming claus- trophobic. Actually, it ' s not all that bad. There are delicious aromas floating in the air. I think I will hove gained twenty pounds just from inhaling the smells. Dribble, dribble, dribble, swish; then the roar of the crowd as the Rubidoux team makes another basket. It happens quite often, you know. Those are the same sounds I ' m going to be hearing all night. Buzzzz . . . Now it ' s halftime and here comes the inevitable stampede. It ' s not easy feeding the hungry herd of basket- ball fans; you would think they haven ' t eaten in a week, or maybe their moms are boycotting their culinary services. Sure brings in the bucks to us, though. What a relief, halftime is over (finally). Now the herd calms down and starts fil- ing peacefully back into the gym. Most of the crowd, that is. There are always those lingerers; the wise ones who try to avoid the rush. Then the dribbling and cheering starts all over again. I think I ' m going to go to bed tonight with those sounds ringing in my ears. Buzzz . . . The game is over and Rubi- doux wins — of course. Now I can really appreciate the concessioners at big sporting events. But, whew, what they have to go through. 1. Andrea Ivy seems shocked after an order of 12 hot dogs, six Cokes, and six coffees. 2. Smiting, Jorge Sanchei mixes cokes. 3. Counting money carefully, Michelle Lopez calculates the sopho- more concession profits. Sophc 163
