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.

The Working Class While some members of the Winnacunnet community involve themselves in one or more of the school’s extra- curricular activities, others choose a different course and participate instead in a variety of off-campus jobs. And still others find the energy to juggle school work, extra- curricular activities, and part-time work. Many people have different reasons for seeking employ- ment. Probably the most common reason is money: money for fun, money for clothes, money for college. To- day's high prices combined with the standard of living all students expect to live by, it's no wonder so many of us hold part-time jobs. We need to just to survive. Other benefits that are found in a job are experience and personal satisfaction. A job can teach you a lot of valuable lessons about life in the full-time working world. It also pays to have a job you enjoy, for unhappy working conditions can lead to unhappy conditions elsewhere. The jobs people have are extremely varied, ranging from bus person to dance instructor, from shoe sales- person to the ever popular cashier and or shelfstocker.
