y Let’s Do Lunch “Soggy fries and mys¬ terious hamburgers have got to go.” . . . Steve Varga (jr) “Exquisitively tasting, finely blended and decorated enough to satisfy even the hun¬ griest pallate, yet makes you throw up an hour later.” . . . Dawn Winar (jr) “All I want is some really fresh fruit.” . . . Heather Diemond (sr) “Why the @ ! don’t they make enough french fries!” ... Ed Griffin (sr) “Variety is the spice of life, (pun intend¬ ed)” . . . Chuck Van- Horn (sr) “Its edible ... I guess.” . . . Tim Po- pick (sr) “Covered with ketch¬ up anthing is edible.” . . . Heather Diemond of grade school when we all walked to lunch together, ate, and then left together. The scary thing is that no matter how much the people complain about the food, they continue to eat it . . . s 11:00 rolls around, the thoughts of the students L are turning from their books to food. There are three types of students in the cafete¬ ria. The first group are those who have eaten school lunch be¬ fore and opt to bring a “brown bag” from home. What is in these bags is known only to the owner. They usually contain a sandwhich, chips and, of course dessert. These people purchase milk and the “cool guys” don’t use straws. The second group of people are the ones on perma¬ nent diets. They drink just or¬ ange juice and eat only salad. There seems to be a disease that hits all girls when they enter high school. It has them worried that one meal will cause them to gain 10 pounds. These people don’t need to worry because when they graduate and get away from school food, the disease mysteriously goes away. The last group of people in the cafe¬ teria are the ones who seem to enjoy waiting in mile long lines. I don’t see why these people wait so long for school food- I would understand if there were a prize at the end of the line. By the time these people get out of line, they have almost 10 minutes to gobble down the food. We can’t complain about the length of the lunches because we now have a new lunch schedule. This lunch gives us an extra 10 minutes or so! It also brings back memories After patiently waiting for his Bobcat burger and fries, he piles his tray with mounds of ketchup. Chuck VanHorn wisely eats his lunch from a brown bag brought from home not trusting the mys¬ tery meat.

“Teachers give too much homework.” . . . Nick Malapestas (soph.) “Detentions are useless because they are a waste of time for everyone involved.” . . . John Neel (soph.) “Who wants to watch t.v. when we could be do¬ ing homework.” . . . Cindy Terwilliger (sr.) “There are alot.of differ¬ ent activities that anyone can join. That’s what makes this school tick.” . . . Beth Rittenband (sr.) “Dententions are un¬ called for because they don’t teach any sort of lesson.” . . . Melissa Garvey (jr.) Life After School The time; 1:52, the bell rings and life once again fills the halls of South Windsor High School. Freshmen and Sophomores run for the near¬ est exits while Juniors and Se¬ niors calmly stride to their lockers because they have driven to school. Then there are those who stay after school for various reasons. All the athletic peo¬ ple head for the locker rooms to change for their appropri¬ ate sports; some for soccer, some for football, some for volleyball, and yet others for cross country. Students with musical and acting talents strive for greatness in the au¬ ditorium. Struggling and or problem students trudge along for extra help or the dreaded detention! Outside awaits the yellow mass of steel which provides transportation for many stu¬ dents. Groups of people fill the busses’ walkways; smok¬ ers, radio-listeners, and peo¬ ple who are just trying to get the back seat of the bus. The student parking lot, like in the morning, comes to life. Peo¬ ple, desperately rushing to get out, cause more delays. Once free of the school’s boundaries, decisions have to be made. What will people do for the rest of the day? Some go to work at places like Cal- dors, McDonald’s or Deals: jobs that they work hard at and never get enough pay for the work they do. On the oth¬ er hand, some get together with their friends and just hang out. Those without friends, or friends who are busy, go home and watch t.v.: soap operas, games shows, and yes, even cartoons. If nothing good is on t.v., sleep is always a possibility. If all else fails, if there is absolutely nothing left to do . . . DO YOUR HOMEWORK!!!
