Five...four...three...two... one . . . BRRIIINNG! The bell, fi- nally. I thought it would never ring. I'm starved. Didnlt have any breakfast 'cause I had to come early. Lunch is the student's period. In it he is free to do what he wants whether it is eating for forty-five solid minutes Cif he survives the herd of starving students stamped- ing to wait in linel or to hunt down a quiet corner and cram for a test or complete some last minute homework. DLL-l.l.'!. The line is slowly Cwhen you are starved? past the counters of food supplied by hands of nameless kitchen helpers and prepared by cooks who are rarely seen. After the initial feed is over, the chairs are tipped back, the shoes slipped off and over the cluttered trays and ice cream wrappers, the students talk. Glancing at the poster covered walls, they talk about people, last week's game, the next dance, their dating troubles, and occasionally about their ideas and opinions. , 6 Toward the end of the period the coins appear, the flip takes place, and the loser returns the trays- all thousand of them. Out in the hall they gather and drift to their lockers and on toward their next class. .- A 1 -.s . 'efwbldti' ' ' i gf'

Barely audible from behing the door- Do you realize you are failing biology? asks the guidance counselor, his mind probing for the why. The student, desiring to change his schedule, enter college, or get a jobg the parent, concerned about the way his child is relating to some aspect of schoolg the teacher or administrator with a question about a particular studentg each comes to the guidance department. Whetstone students meet college representatives at conferences, often absorbing a portion of the representative's enthusiasm for his school. Frenzied seniors fill out applications and anticipate ACT and SAT scores, the arrival of which causes a series of hurried conferences as student and coun- selor try to determine chances for admission. Those who are not college bound must make the all important choice of occupation. Counselors try to ease the task with preference tests and vocational manuals. In the guidance office, files of students' names materialize into faces and personalities Whose owners have a distinct past and a future to be determined. Seniors' futures congregate at college conferences.
