Lunch § Its An Adventure! Diversified is just about the only word which describes the activities which take place in the cafeteria. At one table, someone may be sampling the day's lunch specialty. At the next table, another student is eating an ice cream sandwich while his friend beside him is munching on potato chips. But the differing actions go much further than this. The lunchroom offers an escape where students can breathe a sigh of relief from the otherwise grind of the day. It is a place where all the “loose ends’’ are tied together. Homework is finished which wasn’t completed the night before because of a date, night out with friends, or jut plain procrasti- nation. Latest gossip is exchanged as well as the ups and downs of the day. Lunch is sometimes the only period friends have togeter, so that’s when they catch up on the latest news. And of course, there are some students cramming for the ever dreaded “test on the chapter you didn’t pay attention to while it was being taught.’’ The cafeteria seems to hold a life all its own. Even the most “down” stu- dent is swept up by its chaotic atmos- phere and hum of activity. Without lunch, so much would be left unaccom- plished — it is indispensable! 16 Cafeteria Chatter

ooo ixcitement Filled The Air An aura of excitement filled the air as the morning of the School Spirit assembly finally arrived, marking the first of only two times when the entire school was assembled in one place. First period was cut short as all stu- dents returned to homeroom to pro- ceed to the stadium, as the excitement of missing periods 2 and 3 generated itself into true school spirit. A cheering contest and an Almost Anything Goes series provided compe- tition among classes as each awarded victory to the seniors. The band’s musi- cal program proved itself to be new and innovative, receiving much acclaim from the appreciative crowd of stu- dents and faculty. The end of the assembly drew Homecoming even closer and com- pleted the 5th week of preparation on the class floats. Dedicated students, who worked during and after school, resumed their diligent efforts immedi- ately in order to complete the floats in time for Saturday’s Homecoming activ- ities. The brass section of the band kneels at attention while awaiting their cue to begin their musical finale. A little confetti and a lot of cheering captured a traditional senior class victory. 18 Homecoming Preparation
