Time To Eat! Along with the sixth hour mandatory day for Freshmen and Sophomores came the Southwestern lunch program. Senior Keith Allen said “I think that it’s pretty funny that after waiting all this time, they (Freshmen) have to still take a sixth hour.” The sixth hour day and the new lunch program seems very strange to most upperclass- men. It changed the format of the school day that most Jun- iors and Seniors were accus- tomed to. This year the whole student body was confused during the first week, not just Freshmen. Southwestern now has three lunch hours, A, B and C. A lunch begins at 11:30 and lasts until 12:00. B lunch begins at 12:30 and lasts untill 1:00. At 1:30 C lunch begins (along with the end of the day for most Juniors and Seniors) and lasts until 2:00. Sound confus- ing? It was! There are many different feel- ings about the lunch program. Some students enjoy the food while others take time to go to Mickey D’s. Freshman Chad Starnes feels, “The cafeteria food needs help. Junior Courtney Pouncy agrees, “The lunch program is alright but could be improved. The food is not enough to make you sick but it’s not enough for me to brag about.” It seems that most people are cooperating with the lunch program, but there are still flaws that need to be worked out.
