McDonalds: McDonald's: Alright, who dosen't go to McDonald's? Whether you were a new McDLT fan, or a loyal supporter of the Big Mac and Quarter Pounder with Cheese, someone always found something fast and de- licious to devour between class periods. Hardly any of the seniors ordered their Taking a stand, seniors Chip Rei- chardt and Steve Banks stop at one of the seniors' favorite fast food res- taurants. For Mon 's Sub Fat Man's Sub Shop: Larry Lampert, brother of Auto Body man Jack Lam- pert, owns this haven for guys with big appetites. This sandwich shop has gained popularity this past year this past year because of the size of its sandwiches, which has Starting a new day, seniors Ke- vin Omell, Praveen Kosuri, and Boyd Hoekel take time out for a quick breakfast. Naugles: food at McDonald's and sat down, simply because the McDonald's on Olive Rd. was a popular hangout for senior citizens. If that didn't grab them, the puerile deco- rations or childish atmo- sphere had to drive them out, however, the food was always worth the trip. Shop: the majority of the senior class gaping and drooling. The infamous 'Sub Club', says senior John Gregory, is definitely my choice when- ever I drop by. A sandwich and soda-to-go usually costs around three to five dollars, but it really does fill you up. Naugles: You still want greasy food, but McDonald's has become just too repet- itive and boring for satisfy- ing your empty stomach, try Naugles. However, if you went there for lunch, you were guaranteed an upset stomach. Put simply, Nau- gles is a mexican McDon- ald's. If that isn't enough, an egg burito for breakfast was an eye-opener for all the sleepy seniors. lt's a little further than McDonald's, and a little more expensiveg however, it was a pleasnt transition from the Greasy Macs of Mickey D's. by Praveen Kosuri Skimming the paper, these seniors get the inside story on the Tony Pena deal during Spring Training.

So, what's the problem? How hard can it be to avoid stepping on a little white cir- cle in the middle of the up- per school lobby? lt's only 26 inches in diameter, however, a few people still find a way to step right in the middle of the school seal. So come on guys, show a little respect for the old campus. What do I mean? You mean to tell me that you don't know about the school seal and the origin of its tra- dition? Don't worry, you're probably not alone. Not too many people know why they are bothering to step over the school seal at all. All they know is that they were told not to from their friends, who, in turn, have no idea why they should. All everybody knows is that it's been a tradition to avoid stepping over the seal. So why do people bother? All it is is a little mosaic pattern slapped down in the middle of the lobby to May Hall. Why have all the past senior classes gone out of their way to enforce this tradition? Simple. It's one of the rea- 20fSCl100l Seal sons why Country Day is dif- ferent from other boring private institutions. It's one of the reasons why Country Day is so special. The new Country Day campus in Ladue was dedi- cated in 1955, however, it wasn't until the 1957-58 school year when they com- pleted moving from the old campus and into the new, and somewhat barren cam- pus. For some, the move was a relief, since most of the fa- cilities of the old campus were out dated and in bad shapeg however, for the teachers and the seniors, who had spent an important part of their life at the old campus, the move wasn't so enjoyable. In fact. After the seniors helped to lead the students out of the old cam- pus and into the new, they vowed to themselves that no one would step on the school seal, which had just been laid out right in the middle of the new upper school lobby. It 30 years strong is the tra- dition of not stepping on the seal, which stands as a re- minder to those of the old campus. might have just been a crazy idea at the time, but all they wanted to do was remember that wonderful old campus in some special way. It was a great idea, and a great start to a thirty year tradition. So if you were some hot shot sophomore or fresh- man, who got their jollies from stepping intentionally right on the seal, thatis fine! Go to Hell! I don't careg how- ever, if you do this in front of a senior, junior, or other loy- al students next year, you'll probably get your face bashed in. Let's face it. Spe- cial little traditions like this one has made Country Day a little more interesting than other public schools. Try go- ing to Ladue or any Parkway High School and find how much tradition they have. We're kind of lucky in a way. by Chip Reichardt, Edi- tor - Student Life ,- .
