Take a Walk on the Wild Side The cafeteria: a place to gorge, socialize, and be squeezed together as tightly as sar- dines in a can. Rumor has it that there are plenty of places to sit and eat if you do not mind the floor or your lap. But seriously folks, despite all the comments about institutional'’ food, extremely long lunch lines, and the lack of seats, the cafe isn’t that bad. More relationships have blossomed, more homework has been shared, and more gossip has been spread over a tray of scrambled hamburg in the cafe than in any other place in the school. It's no wonder, considering how much time is spent there. By your senior year, you’ve spent at least 32,400 minutes (540 hours) lounging over gouged linoleum. Traditions die hard in the cafeteria. For ex- ample, the three senior tables (the ones in the front surrounded by at least one hundred chairs) have been reserved for seniors since the dawn of time. Cutting into the snack bar line is as accepted as freshman garbology students peering into barrels, food fights, and trash scattered over the floor. Some students avoid the cafeteria like the plague, instead skipping lunch and seeking solace in an empty classroom. They insist it’s a war zone in there and perhaps they’re right. However, you haven’t lived until you’ve taken a walk on the wild side.
