Sparetime Utilized
Lunchtime Is Funtime !
Sight and Sound Effects
by Larry Taylor
We are truly a lucky student
body, for we have been blessed
with a grand total of 40 minutes
in which to eat and digest our
mid-day meal. But since it is
usually impossible to remain
half-way slender and eat for this
entire period students frequently
find themselves with idle time
after wading through tons of
cottage cheese and fruit balls,
hamburgers, cokes, french fries,
etc. So here are a few
suggestions on how to fully
enjoy a 40 minute lunch period.
There are two main groups
that the students break into
naturally: those with wheels and
those without.
Those students with access to
a set of wheels are indeed
fortunate, for the possibilities
are numerous. They can hop in
their lil ole buggy (or bum a lift
off a friend) and buzz off for a
merry chase after indulging in
some delicious delicacy at one of
the nearby food establishments.
Then it's off to the park, where
a student has the chance of
being bit by a nasty-tempered
swan (no color discrimination),
feeding the ugly ducks french
fries, bananas, etc., or just
utilizing all of the available
playground equipment. A quick
cruise of the park and if you're
lucky, you'll be back just in time
to catch the main bout on the
quad in the preliminaries for the
next after-game brawl.
Now there is one of the
advantages of those who, by
choice or not, remain at school.
Play your cards right and nine
times out of ten you'll never
miss a fight. Things are usually
quiet during the first half of the
lunch period, for most of the
people are congregated in the
cafeteria with the majority of
the upper class boys sitting
almost under the balcony
(they're the ones who suffer
from eyestrain). The crowd
usually moves out to the quad
for the second half. In the past
there have been many
entertaining attractions,
including an honest-to-goodness
chicken. And with the approach
of the great white stuff, the
possibility of real early baseball
practice is readily at hand.
For those who dare try, you
can always sneak your lunch
into the library and attempt to
eat it (I said attempt), but it
isn't recommended. And if
you're ever lucky enough to
listen in on teachers'
conversations, be prepared to
really yuk it up (they say the
darndest things!). If you must
study, there are available nooks
and crannies in which to do so.
The gym proves to be a nice
place to relax and take your
shoes off, for you don't have to
worry about someone getting all
bent out of shape about it. And
of course, there's always those
cute little club meetings which
are a nice change of pace.
These are just a few
suggestions on how to more
fully use your spare lunch time.
There are rumors that the
darkened halls are used for
make-out spots at times.
However, I doubt if such
intimate relationships would
ever occur in our school. Just
remember that idle time and
mischief go hand in hand, and
the opportunities to really enjoy
yourself (there's the Lincoln
School playground) are just
everywhere!

This is certainly one of
Dylan's best albums. The vocals
are exceptional. The lyrics are
reminiscent of the old
(pre-Nashville Skyline) Dylan.
The instrumentals are excellent,
and round out what is a truly
fantastic album.
Accompanying Bob, who
plays acoustic guitar, electric
guitar, and organ, is a musical
all-star cast. David Bromberg
plays electric guitar and dobro.
Ron Cornelius and Buzzy Feiten
play electric guitar. Harvey
Brooks and Charlie Daniels
handle electric bass. Russ
Kunkel and Bill Mundi take care
of drums. Al Kooper (star of the
albums, "I Stand Alone" and
"You Never Know Who Your
Friends Are") plays organ,
piano, electric guitar, and
French horn. Hilda Harris,
Albertine Robinson, and
Maeretha Stewart sing
background vocals.
The musical styles are as
varied as the artists. Dylan fans
will enjoy the whole album, but
especially the Dylan-style folk
music. Country-western freaks
will find something in the
album. Some down-home blues
is included , and even a little jazz.
Of course, there's some good old

A Tale of
Two Citios
by Connie BuDtley
Once upon a time there were
two cities. One was way down in
the valley, filled with smog and
dirt and smoke. The other one
was high up in the mountains
where the clean air is. The city
down in the valley was under the
power of a big black tornado
formed from all its smog and
smoke. The one in the hills was
inhabited by Grizzly bears.
For a long time - 23 years to
be exact - the big mean tornado
would come to town and
demolish the Grizzlies. Then one
year the brave bears stood up
and fought with all their might.
At the end of the battle they
had bagged the big wind 20-0.
The very next year the
Grizzlies looked like they would
do it again. When suddenly a
little help, as if from the devil,
came along and the black
tornado conquered once more.
However, the Grizzly bears
were on their way to victory for
evermore. They sent a warning
to the black city which read:
Just wait until basketball season,
for we have just begun to
fight!!!!!
