Student Life These students thrive on the social aspect of lunch rather than the nourishing side. Pizza is the favorite of Kris Fields. Catching up on the latest gossip are Mary Beth Gibson and Lisa Miller. Tavern on Everyday at 11:00, 11:30, and 12:00, there never failed to be a mad dash through the hallways and across the schoolyard at Science Hill. What ever brought on this daily occur- rence many people never understood. Only those students who actually par- ticipated in the marathon knew the reason behind this strange and super- natural phenomenon. It was lunch- time! Yes, this was the time when students, and teachers alike, strangely trans- formed themselves into the curly- tailed, snouted animal, most common- ly called a pig. Certainly, we all saw this very evident in Coach Voitlein’s sea-food platters. During this brief, but vital thirty minute period, one could find many different things peo- ple chose to do with or without food. For instance, the majority of students at Science Hill stood in, most often, very long lines to purchase their the Hill lunch, which to most of us consisted of pizza, fries, and chocolate milk. After choking this down, many of us lingered in the cafeteria, talking, gos- siping, and mostly preparing our- selves to once again face the trying academic world. Others of us pre- ferred to stand outside after lunch, either with a small group of friends or a large circle of which laughter and jokes were very much a part. Still, yet, there were other students who chose not to eat lunch at all. They, instead, sat on benches outside and enjoyed the peace and quiet, or spent lunchtime on the telephone with a sick friend, who was unable to at- tend school that day. It didn’t matter what we chose to do with those few minutes known as lunch, just as long as we were able to enjoy a brief intermission from the academic world. Student Life 19

Formal 18 for anything. Meowl says Rachel Cox. Mickey’s never out of style with Alan Peterson. Each year has it’s fashion headlines, and the 1983-84 school year was no exception. Suprisingly enough, the trend's evolved mostly from old favor- ites. Denim took on a whole new stance. It was “over-dyed,” pin-stripped, or stonewashed, and style’s ranged from traditional straightlegs to the 50’s style, tight ankle-jeans, to pleat- ed baggies. Denim did not stop at the legs, however, as denim jackets were worn by many. Old favorite tops also took on a new look. T-shirts became status sym- bols, advertising everything from clubs to Panama Jack tanning lotion to vacation spots. Comfy sweatshirts were twined into high fashion by stra- tegic ripping of the neck and sleeves, Flashdance” style. Rock-n-roll made a definite fashion statement with students. The hallway crawled with shirts purchased at con- certs. Many were beginning to think they had seen every ‘Def Leppard’T- shirt ever made! Buttons of favorite groups and singers were donned on jackets, shirts, and pocketbooks. Ear-piercing had come a long way from ice-cubes and needles. Many found it a new way in which to be original. With many girls having multi- pierced ears and a large, interesting array of earrings; several guys also decided to take the plunge to have an ear pierced. It was the start of a large trend. Accessories took on a new look. Ban- dana’s were used often as belts and headbands. Bright plastic was preva- lent in shoes and jewelry. Though traditional winter clothes were widely worn, many students strived to spice up their look. Sweat- ers, guaranteed to warm you, body and soul, took fall by suprise with new vests, classic argyle’s, and the sporty shawl collars seen widely around campus. Many students reached for big, super-sized sweat- ers to chase the chills away. Knock- out knits done up in harvest colors, styled with the comfort and ease of menswear, not only kept students feeling warm, but looking good also. For a bounce in their step and jaunty good looks, many students put their best foot forward with new stylish aerobic shoes. Stripes, along with colorful hearts, plus basic bright so- lids were also among the many sights up on the hid.
