I ' ssismm m OCTOBER attendance For the first time in three years, and as a reward for those who had perfect at- tendance, Stroman stu- dents were allowed to eat off campus for lunch. On Fridays, November 13 and 20, students poured from the campus with excite- ment, breaking the long line of closed campus lunches. 1 thought is was great! It was refreshing and a break from the ordinary, said Sarah Hammack and Mari Rincon. Following attendance re- wards such as handing out ice cream sandwiches, cokes and chips, dismiss- ing school fifteen minutes early, and extended lunch- es were well excepted by students. It was nice go- ing home for lunch. I got to watch my soaps. said Sabrina Rubio. The sudden break from closed campus lunches was not without it ' s problems. There were a few very minor accidents, but the biggest prob- lem was getting back to school on time. I thought it was great even though 1 re- ceived two tardies. Who ' s heard of com- ing back on time? said Emi Ramirez. Some students like juniors Pam Rickman and Wence Guiterrez felt that the condition for the off campus luch reward , which was to be present the whole month of Oc- tober, was too strict. I think they should at least allow us to leave on Friday all of the time if we are here all week, said Guiterrez. If a per- son was absent one day they still should ' ve been able to go. said Rickman. The whole purpose of the off campus lunch re- ward, of course, was to encourage students to attend school through- out the month of Octo- ber and regularly after that. The result led stu- dents to view school in a different light. It gave students a good reason to come to school, said Guiterrez. I actually had something else to look forward to besides 3:30.
