Lunch periods were shortened to 30 minutes, and, to facilitate the cafeteria, an additional lunch period was created. This meant that second floor classes had a split fourth period. It took some getting used to, said Annette Scott, faculty member. Shortened lunch period created some problems for teachers with lunch duty; they didn ' t have time to eat. This was solved during the spring semester when the board of trustees authorized the hiring of lunchtime proctors, therefore, giv- ing the faculty time to eat. Closed Campus 25

unchtime lockup! •tudents protest campus closing owever, learn to adjust to it o longer could we ask each other where we should go to eat lunch. Our choice was limited to the snack bar, the cafeteria or the picnic tables on the patio when the VISD Board of Trustees closed the high school campuses during lunch. Protests at the board meetings were heard, letters to the Advocate were written, but the issue was closed . . . and so were the campuses. ■ However, everyone adjusted and even made it fun. Seniors table cloths and had picnics. Some students dug out their old Scooby Doo lunch bo.xes and others bought new Garfield ones. Everyone welcomed the addition of soft drinks and snack machines. Dora Galvan takes advantage of a pretty to bring her cartoon-character lunch kit out- side during he J 30 minute lunch period. With the closing of the campuses, students bought a lot of chips and soft drinks to eat at lunch time. . ' ., I i. . 24 Closed Campus
