LUNCH ?6 To Eat And Where To Eat; That Was The Question When the doors opened and the students emerged into the world with growling stomachs and drooling mouths, you could tell that lunch time at South High School had arrived. Above:... then where are they? Below: And often home of Though many students did eat in the school’s cafe- Sou,h s,udents teria. many others chose to make the run to Burger King. Clark's, or any of the restaurants and drug stores. As one student put it. Eating at Burger King is a good chance to get away. “Lunch Is The Best Period. There's No Work Involved. Other reasons for students leaving school for lunch were that they preferred the restaurants’ food and just because everyone else does.” Price definitely was a determining factor in where many students chose to eat. In reference to eating at restaurants, one student in the cafeteria said. That costs too much. If I had that kind of money. I’d go downtown and eat at Nankin. Students eating in the cafeteria were up against another problem — long lines. The lines are so long that you have to rush eating. said one complainer. Those that brought their lunches ate almost anywhere that they liked. Students with small brown bags could be found in the cafeteria, along the outside of the building, in the bleachers, or in restaurants eating with their friends. One student brought her own lunch because she liked to be original and school food was too boring . Still there were those who took the junk food route. One reason for this was because junk is cheaper and tastes better. So, no matter where, or even if. students ate during their lunch period, it was a nice break in their day. or a good chance to catch up on homework. When the doors shut, the now satisfied students returned to their classrooms. The halls were once again silent, and you could tell that lunch time at South High School had come to a close for another day.
