CAFETERIA OPENED
AT HIGH SCHOOL
Believed that Opportunity to Obtain
Lunches Will Lead to Improved
Work by Students.

The lunch counter at the high school
was opened this morning under the direc-
ton of Mrs. Utley. Sandwiches, cocoa,
milk, sweet chocolate and hot dogs were
on sale during the recess period and hot
soup with crackers at the end of the
morning session. A long table has been
placed in the third floor corridor, upon
which the food was attractively arranged
The serving is cafeteria style, each per-
son helping himself upon payment of
checks covering the necessary amount.
The lunch counter fills long felt need
in the school. Some pupils leave their
homes after a hurried breakfast, as early
as 7.l5, and do not return until 100, with
no opportunity to secure proper nourish-
ment in the meantime. Under such con-
ditions the school work is handicapped.
Principal Warren saws that the food will
be nourishing, as well as appetizing, and
the price as low as possible 1t is hoped
that the parents will give the scheme
their support.
