No one can actually say what goes on, because no one is admitted in there except the faculty members. However, teachers were willing to admit to some of the things that went on. For some faculty members the lounge was a place to eminisce about life. They discussed poli- tics, the cost of living, and gripped about the government. They also cheered each other up by telling jokes. The lounge was also a place to relax between periods or during lunch. Teachers graded papers and made lesson plans. English teacher Debbye Robers commented, It's really kind of funny how we could be talking about anything and as soon as an administrator walks in it's total stairs. The downstairs on is for smoking teachers and the upstairs lounge is for non-smokers and popcorn poppers. Some teachers travel to both. As Chris Martin remarked, I enjoy going to both lounges just to visit people during lunchl There are also a few individual lounges throughout the school. The business department has one between Mrs. Clayton's, Mrs. Bryant's and Mr, Hege's room. Another mini-lounge can be founrl in the math department. I usually go to the math mini- lounge because at times it gets too loud in the larger ones, exclaimed Mrs. Gwen Pebworth. Students were asked what they thought went on in the lounge, and the majority said EAT! No matter what teachers say, that's what really goes on! silence.
