The atmos- phere continues, creating bold im- ages to remember. The teacher calls the minds back to class and the students wan- der down to the lunchroom. Trays are jammed into backs and bodies strain forward to snatch up the avail- able food. Students sit huddled to- gether, swirling the food around on their plates, talking with their mouths full, then returning for more. A bell rings, dismissing students back to their classes. Design by .Jeff Rsdei Feet pound down the hall back to class and the daydreaming re- sumes. Classes flow together and at 2:15 the doors are flung open as students flee the building. The rec- tangle full of cars starts up. They quickly untangle themselves and dis- appear down Noland Road. The monsters that swallowed up victims in the morning now return them home. That night the dreams come to life. Parties, movies, watching television, dating, cruising Noland, visiting Kansas and the good times roll. Natalie Rice

Photo by Darrell Lucas - F Rolling with the good times Students don't spend all their time in the classroom. The battle of the sexes begins. Out-of-control tricycles steam down the length of the gym floor while students on the sidelines cheer them on. Once they have reached their destination, the contestants dizzily stumble off their vehicles and begin to frantically hurl whip cream pies at two surprised teachers. Next the two teams throw fra- gile eggs higher and higher towards each other. The eggs float through the air until gravity tugs them back to earth, breaking their thin skin and spilling their yellow blood. The penalty for killing an egg is to face the food-tasting contest. Faces screw into odd shapes as baby food is spoon fed to the murderers. The contest ends with a pinata and candy sprinkles the ground. Students swarm off Student Life Design by Jeff Radel the bleachers to grab a piece of candy and the excitement ends. School ends and the students turn into em- ployees. They trade in their notebooks to flip burgers for an evening. They trade in their concert T-shirts for polyester-knit uniforms. They trade in their free time for 553.35 an hour. After a late night closing, students arrive at school with blood shot eyes, slowly moving from class to class. Homework is squeezed in before school and after work, sometimes even during another class. Everyone begins counting the days till Friday. On the week-ends kids catch up on their social life. Then the whole process starts over on Monday morning. Natalie Rice x mg
