Chairs were a major issue, with students either swapping or switching these precious commodities, or being urged to push them in. Many times, when things got out of hand, a little talk form Mr. Landes would bring back order. If the lunch scene didn’t suit, then students chose to go out- side and either socialize or take a break from school. Any way you looked at it, lunchtime had something for everyone.
