This really shows a typical day in the teacher's lunch room. Aw, isn't that sweet? Remonica Robie and Tony Rainey always seem to be sharing things, and lunch should be no exception. This isn't half bad! Chance Mitchell thinks as he begins to dip into his plate lunch. Some students enjoy these meals everyday. Food 19

What's Cooking Our senses help us choose what to munch for lunch. Colette Miller Staff The aroma is over- whelming. Steam slowly slipping from the pots in the kitchen. Scents float in the air, finding the most sensitive noses. Then sud- denly the bell rings, telling all that lunch is ready. This happens everyday at school,but notallstudents take this route. They have a choice to buy lunch at school or bring their lunch, most tend to buy the fries and cokes while a select few decide to bring sack lunches. I bring a sack lunch be- cause I'm a health nut and I like to eat nutritious Muncha, buncha, muncha, bunch! Beau Iudkins looks like he's really enjoying that pizza. This is a favorite food of most students at lunch time. foods. I know it's different, but that's how I feel. Lang Kirshberger said. Reasons for students not buying the school plate lunch are quite un- usual, but make a strong point. In elementary school, when you had to eat lunch there you had a lunch tray, and the plate lunches come on the same type of tray. Nobody wants to look like an elementary student. Plus it makes you look like your mother is feeding you. Dean Lewis said. Still some students overlook the elementary syndrome and buy it be- cause it is the best thing served. The basic four food groups are propor- ionately represented. Eating right is essential for everyone, but making yourself do that is differ- CDI. I wanted a variety of foods. Knowing that I was eating right made me feel good about buying the plate lunch. The food is not the best, but it does fulfill the need for a well- balanced meal. Michael Cole said. The battle goes on day after day. The cafeteria's main purpose is to provide nutritional meals for the students. They fulfill their calling, but not many stu- dents participate in that part of the program. The selling of fries and cokes far out number the sell of fruits and plate lunches, but ultimately it is the stu- dent's choice. Boy this stuff sure is good, Mr. Smith looks intent on eating his homemade lunch, in the teacher's lounge. 18 Student Life S, Q. .., n tv K. ,GY . ., 4, , , , , W? 'W E 4 ' www., , f

Making Your Way Congested hallways become a major concern. Colette Miller Stat! Congested hallways have been a constant problem faced every day by students at Mills. The bumping and pushing have gotten quite violent at times. Overcrowding is definitely the problem. Question is - what is the solution? Have a traffic system where you have one line walking one way and an- other line walking the oth- er way with a section off to the side for people who want to talk. The punish- ment for disobeying would be small, nothing serious, Mitch Gates said. This situation has always been an annoyance, and 20 Student picking a solution should be so simple. lt's not! Problems that occur are due mostly to people who block lockers, and there- fore delay other students from obtaining the neces- sary books to continue their normal routine. What l hate about the hallways, in between clas- ses, is that there are always a group of guys standing at my locker talking, and they are kinda stubborn, about moving. Especially because my locker is on the bottom, Alvin jack- son said. This is not a one day oc- currence, but happens ev- eryday of every week. Sur- prisingly, the number of people that do this are few, but they bunch to- gether and cause a great many problems for a great many students. l think when students Some students, like Marlen james and Kim Sullivan, are fortunate enough to enjoy a view with which to do their long awaited homework. Life come from their classes they should just go to their locker and get their books. When they get to their class, they can talk to their friends. lf they really want to talk to someone who isn't in their class they could write that person a note, Anita Patrick said. The student body will have to make the final de- cision on what they do, but obviously something must be done. The stu- dents that participate in this activity seem to enjoy it, but being considerate of others is equally impor- tant. Hallways are necessary for our transportation from one class to another, so having the best possible atmosphere there can ac- tually benefit everyone in the end.
