our T0 luNc The number of students who clock-watched at the end of second and fourth periods was evidence that nutrition and lunch provided the release many students needed each day from the routine of classes. Nutrition pro- vided a chance for socializing as groups gath- ered regularly throughout the school in such places as the Health Office, the amphithea- tre, the bathrooms, the lawns, or senior court. Many seniors finished their school day by 12:30 and went to worlcg other students sim- ply enjoyed getting off campus for a short while, For some students, nutrition and lunch meant extra time to work on homework, or work on school activities. Because of the relaxed atmosphere, nutrition and lunch remained the favorite time of day for many students. Lunch and Nutrition One of the advantages of a lunch permit is being able to go off campus, asjUAN ORTEGA does, to enjoy his lunch at McDonald's.

This was the formal schedule. But other sights and activities stuck in the minds of stu- dents. Wandering on campus after convinc- ing the teacher you just had to make it to the restroom ran the risk of getting caught by campus aides. The aides themselves were often alumni who already knew the stories you tried to feed them. Favorite sports or dec- orated areas were other features that gave a large campus a feeling of belonging to you and your friends. Other memories included getting to nutrition early to avoid lines, being rousted by the police or security officers, con- versations in senior court, cigarettes in the head, throwing frisbees in front of the audito rium: These also played a part in the day of a student.
