A Welcome Break In The Daily Routine As the senior lunch bell rang, seniors took advantage of one of their privileges by leaving class one minute earlier than underclassmen. Doing this enabled them to beat the crowd and get in the front of the lunch line. The lunch lines filled quickly and instead of waiting to get a hot meal, many students chose to bring a bag lunch from home. However, a variety of hot lunches and a salad bar were available to those who wanted it. The students who chose not to eat lunch at all usually gathered in the lobby, or on the front steps and courtyards to discuss the day's gossip. Lunchtime was an important time because it enabled students to see and talk with friends whom they seldom saw. It also gave people a chance to discuss the day’s activities, and to make plans for the weekends. Many people flocked around the guidance office, inquiring about college information and obtaining SAT forms. Seniors were allowed to eat in the Senior Lounge for most of the year as another privilege; however, carbonated drinks were no longer allowed to be sold in the vending machines due to a new state law. In whatever way students spent their lunch period, it was a necessary and important part of the day, not only for eating, but for being with friends as well. A nice hot lunch is a welcomed sight for Sharon Layton and Rusty Wilkie. The courtyard provides a nice place to eat in warm weather for Seniors Jeff Hall. Brian West, and Keith Cox. Lunch is a busy time for the Guidance Department as students eagerly wait to speak with counselors. Lunch time provides Eddie McDowell with an opportunity to work out a schedule problem with Mrs. Patty Riemcnsnider. Lunch 23
