In the lounge, the main center of activity in the first part of the day and lunch is the cafeteria. Beyond the three cash registers awaits a large variety of food in a number of sections. This year, personalized ice cream was added to the selection with two new MooBella Machines.

What are the secrets behind the food, behind the variety? The choice of the food that goes into the cafeteria is determined based on what the students want and what would be the best for them. “We try to find out what’s popular with the kids and what’s healthy,” Director of Food Services, Bruce Gluck, said. “We also take suggestions from students.”

Wandering around the school hallways, freshman Nicolette Lathouris attempts to find her TV Broadcasting classroom, a classroom located far from all her others. She begins to walk faster, fearing that she will be late. It’s her first day in the high school, and she’s completely lost. Nicolette asks random kids and teachers for help and finally manages to find her way to the correct classroom, where she tries to slip in silently, late on her first day.

Nicolette’s situation is one that many freshmen have shared on their first day, or even first week or two upon entering the high school. The high school is bigger than Saxe, and the entire shift is quite a change.

Earlier this month, students were introduced to the Moobella Machine, which serves as a quick and simple ice cream maker.

The Moobella Machine, created by Bruce Ginsberg in 2001, claims to be a new innovation in the world of ice cream. In three easy steps, the buyer chooses a flavor and a topping with a push of a button. The machine then takes 40 seconds to produce the fresh cup of ice cream into the hand of the buyer.

NCHS is the first high school to try out the Moobella Machine. Moobella was first installed destinations were Yale University and Yale Hospital, both in New Haven.
