When asked what their favorite classes are, stu- dents’ answers will vary, but many will immediately respond, lunch.” Whether they are serious or not, the fact remains that when the school day is dragging on endlessly, a lunch break is a welcome and needed re- lief. Back in elementary school, students either brought their own lunch or had the meal specified on the menu. The high school cafeterias, however, offer a wide variety of a la carte foods that can be combined to make a satisfying lunch. Rolls, bagels, cheesebur- gers. heroes, pizza, french fries, and farm eggs are available. There are fruit drinks, milk, and except during periods four, five, and six, soda and coffee. There are also cookies, cakes, potato chips, do- nuts, and ice cream for stu- dents more interested in taste than nutrition. If you’re a junk food junky it’s terrific,” Kara Dougherty, senior, commented. Many students find the choice of three places to eat very convenient. Cafe- teria B is usually busiest, while Cafeteria A has a rep- utation of being a quieter place to eat. The snack bar is popular among students who want to eat quickly and then go on to do something else. There are also those who say the food is superi- or. I always eat at the snack bar because the hamburgers and french fries are much better there, Rosemarie Kenney, senior, said. The faces at the tables may change from year to year, but the comments on the food are always the same. Although, some stu- dents insist it isn’t bad at all, quite a few refer to the food as awful, terrible, stale, and the pits.” You never know what you are going to find in it,” Laura Eberling, senior, stated. For those who don’t have time to eat at home, the cafeterias are open before homeroom so a quick breakfast can be eaten. And during lunch periods, there are always plenty of students eating, relaxing with friends, catching up on work, and restoring their sanity before heading back to classes. 12 Cafeteria
