May I help you? Mr. Steinkraus takes a break from hall patrol during lunch hours to serve crispy car- rots, to help out the cooks during a shortage of lunch line attendants. by H. Franks and J. Bigelow The seconds ticked away. The stu- dents were poised and ready for the first tones of the bell to reach their ears; and then, in the very second that it did, almost every student in every class pulled, pushed, kicked, bit and plowed his her way to the lunch room. Once the stampede had calmed down, the cutting began. Many stu- dents were really innocent and took their place in the line, while other ex- tremely smooth and crafty people make a break for the front, avoiding the sharp eye of Mr. Steinkraus as they weaved their way to the food. I brouse, seeking the perfect victim to cut in front of, and once I spot the victim or victims, I go in for the kill, said veteran cutter Scott Vitz. After all of the commotion had come to a close, the students got their food. Some didn't eat the main course but went right for the main attraction, the snack bar.

Tragedy struck during the pep as- sembly 6th hour when Mr. Steinkraus announced that due to rain the parade had to be cancelled. This sent many float committee members into a frenzy to get their floats out of the rain. The rain carried into the game that night. Despite this, the floats and homecoming court made their way onto the field for halftime. First place for the float competition went to the jr. high's Cinderella float; the freshman class float 'All the Right Moves' was awarded second, and the sophomores' From Russia With Love float re- ceived third. Karen King was then crowned the 1985 homecoming queen. When the speaker announced '1985 homecoming queen, Karen King,' I turned to my mom and said, 'What did they say?' commented King. The next week when I got to school, I just wanted to be plain old Karen again. The Wolverines fought a hard battle against the Saranac Redskins, but be- cause they had two touchdowns called back for penalties, the score at the end of the game stood 3-0 in Saranac's fa- vor.

After students had stuffed their faces with all of the food they could eat, they ventured out into the halls. Many literarily interested students headed for the library. Only to find that it had been closed due to students who used the library more for a romp- er room than a reading place. Others walked the halls, trying to find a victim who was suitable to fit into the trash can.
