Lollipops and bubble gum, chocolate bars and peppermints, caramels and fruit chews, these and other mouth watering treats are the delight of any sweet tooth. They are also the perfect remedy for a num- ber of school-related ail- ments such as boredom, restlessness, hunger and even depression. Taking a break with some delicious candy can do wonders to lift spirits and renew energy during a monotonous school day, and fortunately for students, the Green and White Shop offers a wide selection of goodies to choose from. Students who have no time in their sched- ules for lunch often find that these candies are per- fect snacks to tide them over until they go home and eat something more sub- stantial. And anyone can pick up something to just munch on during classes. Another attraction of the Green and White Shop is that it sells so many school supplies. Pens, pencils, note- books and other similar items are the tools of the trade for students, and it is impossible to function prop- erly in any class without them. For that reason it would seem logical that stu- dents wouldn’t forget them when leaving for school each morning, but some- how they often get left be- hind. It is then that students turn to the Green and White Shop, which sells every- thing from bookcovers to erasable pens. “It’s a good place to buy pens, pencils, and things I forget and need right away,’ Mary Anne Augart, senior, said. The shop also sells Farm- ingdale hats, T-shirts, and mugs, along with little stuffed animals. Even panty hose is sold, something many girls have found ex- tremely handy. The Green and White Shop is run by student vol- unteers from all grades. I like working there because it gives me sales ex- perience,” Sheryl Brynien, junior, explained. To get a job in the shop, students just had to ask Mr. Rug- giero if any help was needed during their free periods. The shop is only open during periods four, five, and six, and for fifteen minutes before homeroom, something which upsets many students. “It should be open every period be- cause not everyone is free when it is open and it is often impossible to get there between periods,” Debbie Genetin, senior, commented. Because their schedules don’t coincide with the Shop’s hours a few stu- dents can’t take advantage of what the Green and White Shop offers. For most students, however, it is a very convenient place to buy the necessary items for school. As Tom McCloskey, sophomore, put it, “It’s good to know you can rely on the store to provide whatever you need at a fair price.” 16 Green and White Shop
