Notes

  • -  Index data: 1-36, The activities, at Floyd High during lunch time include a smoking area for students. The majority of the students voted to confine the smoking to a back area door, so that the front of the school would not be littered with butts. This seems to be a place to gather and pass the events of the previous evening and to prepare for the after school activities. Not all the students confined their smoking to traditional tobacco; 26a to end of roll in D.J. Keith's math class. Frame 12 shows Torn Adler recording wild sound of the lunch break.
