During "Depression" Thursday last week, an 8th grader allows the younger 6th grade students to get in line in front of him to receive some nourishing soup for lunch. Each student received meager portions of chicken noodle soup or tomato soup. The crowd became restless when the bread ran out and the soup got low. A sense of depression moved through the crowd as they ate in the lunch room. Many students were thinking about how it must have been during the real depression and the hardships that must have been dealt with on a daily basis. Many said that it must have been so hard for those who had to endure the daily struggle to obtain food or a job.
