dered a dinner by the Lunch Room
department under the supervision of
Miss Marian Kingman, Tuesday eve
ming, December 10Th, in order that
they might be given an opportunity
to see for themselves how the i'm
provements recently made have added
to the convenience and thus save
time and energy on the part of those
who serve as we'll as those who come

During the early part of the fall
the lunch room and domestic science
room were both plastered and
whitened. This alone greatly in
creased the cheerfulness of the room,
but in addition to this improvement
there was added new lunch counter
containing cabinets, also a work
counter, large sink and drain board,
cocoa urn, and a large refrigerator.
These are SO arranged that the lunch
room assistant scan work efficiently
and splendid service can be rem

noon hour.
Until last evening the Board of
Education had not had an oppor-
tunity to see the new facilities in
( operation. The guests were required
to go through the same process of
self-service as is required of the
pupils, that is, they were asked to
form in line and each one helped
himself to an aluminium tray, silver
and napkin as he went along between
the iron rail and the counter. Then
there were placed on his tray soup,
rolls and butter, salad, and a plate
containing serving Of turkey,
mashed potatoes, green peas and
spaghetti. When he had finished
with this he was directed to return
his dishes to the place where soiled
dishes are received and get in line
once more to receive his coffee and
ice cream.
The room was decorated with ever
green, including holly, mistletoe and
balsam. A Christmas tree had been
neatly trimmed and lighted. During
the dinner a telegram was received
by the president. 1t read as follows:

"Pres. Board of Education,
"Grantwood, N. j.
May good st. Nick, whose sleigh
has sped
Ger SHOWS of many winters,
Shower gifts of joy on all the Board
And all the little splinters.
"And when Old Father Time shall
build
A structure new and cleaning,
! May your seasoned timber form a
part
Ut the school of which we're dream
