Lunches catch the eyes
of FHS thieves By: Serena Atkinson ARROW STAFF It was a cold, dark, October day and senior Aaron Denney had eaten only a small bowl of granola with watered down milk before leaving for school. By second period his stomach was growling and he impatiently anticipated the arrival of lunch. When the clock struck 11:26 Denney rushed to his locker only find that it was empty. He was the victim of an all-too-common lunch bag napping.
“When I went to my locker, my lunch wasn't there. So it wasn't happy time, it was angry time.” Aaron is not the only one who has had to go hungry. Lunch napping, they say, is starting to become a trend. Hall moniters think it's the 10 minutes before lunch that the thefts are taking place. “We're trying to put more people on it but there's 1,800 students and if they have a lunch we don't know if it's theirs,” said hall monitor Janice Rauthe. Lunches, however, are not the only things getting “napped.” More serious items such as clothes and purses have also been reported missing this year. Junior Lisa Emmert had a purse stolen from her locker. “I was fuming,” said Emmert. “They still have my purse and they took my money. So we put a lock on our locker now.” According to FHS resource officer, Wade Rademacher, getting a lock and keeping valuables at home are the only ways to make sure things don't get stolen. As Rauthe said: “The bottom line is getting a padlock.” |

“Lunch is my
happy time,” said Denney.
