IT, A FU The 20 minutes between fifth and sixth period is the best part of the day for many students. This is activity period, a time when we can relax and rest for awhile. When the year began activity period was used for pep rallies. The cheerleaders performed many humorous skits about the Tomcats clobbering our opposing team. We yelled and hollered until our voices were hoarse, and a few selected teachers judged each class to see which had the most spirit. As the year progressed and ballgames were over, clubs became more and more active and began to meet regularly. For those involved in several meetings it was difficult to meet all of them. But if you didn't have a club meeting to attend or didn't have a test to make up, activity period was an ideal time for just socializing. Ep 'fur- Standing around on campus studenis enjoy their 20 minute activity period. 18 Student Life 1 Activity Period FILLED 20 MINUTES Cheerleaders lead our first outdoor pep rally, creating more spirit before homecoming. Putting on a good act, Kent Ainsworth pretends to sit in a tub of ice for an entire pep rally.

Teachers, like students, enjoy their lunch period tOO . -'Cl 1. So maybe it's not Pizza I-lut, but many kids enjoy Stone High's Pizza lunches. At least, we have to admit they're interesting. I mean, who else serves Italian soul food with ttunip greens . Again, this year we have closed lunch periods which are not very popular, to say the least! But that is not the main gripe . There are no menus posted and we are always kept in the dark as to what is for lunch. We never know if it is the day for hot dogs and french fries or the day for spaghetti and meat sauce . One of the favorite past-times during morning break is trying to guess from the smells emanating from the kitchen what we will have for lunch. A quick inspection of someone's tray when we enter the cafeteria confirms or denies our suspicions. But lunch period is really a fun period. No matter how good the meal, it wouldn't be school unless someone gives it a cut. Even though the lunch period is sometimes a hassleg like trying to find a punch, a place in line, a chair, and so on, it's also a time to relax and have a good long talk with a friend- -better make that a short talk, 'cause when we finally get our plates we are in such a hurry to finish before our teacher does that you . . . fOops! there I go cutting down lunch period againj .
