Serve Lunches at the
High School.
BY CHARLOTTE MURRAY.

The scheme. of the cafeteria at the
Rock Island high school was enthus-
iastically received by the students. AL
though the cafeteria is an established
fact in many schools throughout the
country. it is a new idea in Rock Is
land. However. 1t is a good one and
the arrangements are being made for
its swift completion.
Everything will be ready in a week
or two. The tables and cupboards are
now being made. The dishes and sill
verware arc ordered. The food will be
served by the matron of the Y. NJ. c.
A, who knows the preference o.
hungry girls and boys.
This feature OF the school is the
supplement to the lunch brought by
the student. They can buy little or
much or nothing. The cafeteria is
not compulsory. but every one who
has had experience in taking cold
lunches knows how good a hot dinner
will taste.
