And They’re Off...for lunch The time 12:25 p.m., six min- utes before the end of fourth hour. An uneasy tension grows among students waiting for the bell to ring when they’ll be free for lunch hour . . . The bell sounds. Students rush out. They’re free until fifth hour, but none think of that. It’s food they want — it’s food they’ll get. Some hurry to the school cafete- ria to get grub while others rush for a homecooked meal. Some want to cruise “F” St. so it’s off to the Sonic or A W for some fast food and time left over. Some beeline to the Spar- tan Inn for food and fun playing pool and pinball. Lunch in the cafeteria ends with 20-30 minutes left before class. Students who need to fin- ish work or want to sit and talk usually go to the library or stu- dent center. The field house offers recrea- tion in basketball and handball after 1:05 p.m. Juniors and Seniors congre- gate in the corridors by the cafe- teria tripping students or remarking about them as they pass by. The favorite spot for necking is by the Music Room. The ringing of the bell breaks the excitement and principal John Ophus walks out to remind students not to be late to fifth hour classes. Thus ends the spell of noon hour. Rod Lucero, above, shows interest in lunch by being one of the first ones to the cafeteria. 18 Originality — Noon Hour
