Cafeteria

Cafeteria
Dunbar has had cafeteria ser
vice for many, many years, ye
we never cease trying to improve
the quality of this service. This
school year we have the answer
to a request we have made over
a long period of time. Students
are now able to secure food in
real cafeteria style; boys and
girls line up together, all depend
ing on the type of service they
want. The menu consists of a
plate lunch which may be secur-
ed on one side of the cafeteria
and individual purchases which
may be secured on another side
of the cafeteria Other necessary
conveniences are ice water for
both students and teachers and
additional receptacles for refuse,
These added services promise to
be of invaluable assistance in
aiding the afeteria in more eff
cient service.
Trade Clothing
The Trade Dressmaking Course
of Dunbar High School has been
changed from a two year course
to a three year course. 1t is open
e1 to tenth grade girls who are
interested in learning the dress
making trade The girls who Sc
lect the course may take their
regular high school subjects along
with the trade course. On COM
pleting the course the girls will
be prepared to meet the require
ments for college entrance as do
other high school graduates and
especially those who are interest
ed in Home Economics Courses.
Although this change was made
three years ago, many parents
are of the opinion that their
daughter must sacrifice most of
the high school subjects to take
the trade course.
Never was there a greater de-
mand for smart clothes for teen
ayers, and with the present prices
for clothing increasing, we feel
it should be the desire of any
parent to encourage their daugh-
tiers to take a course which will
prepare them for making a living |
or for personal and family uses, +,
Dressmaking is a profitable trade !
and efficient workers can always
find employment. The clothing !
class is fortunate in having Mrs. |
N. G.. Coulter as its instructor |
whose years of experience have
SllpWH iltl dDlIity W SCb JOb |

ship of Mrs. Ray This school
year we have new president,
Mrs. Austine Williams and we are

Books And Graphic Art Held

STOCKHOLM. - An exhibition
of Latin American books and 9TH
er examples of graphic art opened
October at the National Museum
here in the presence of many MEM
bers of the South American diplo-
matte corps as well as Swedish and
foreign experts on the subject.
Prince Wilhelm, youngest son of
King Gustaf, noted poet and short
story writer, admitted in an ad
dress that until now the knowledge
in Sweden of Latin American
graphic art had been deplorably
scanty, despite the fact that these
countries, with their rich spiritual
and material resources, must be re-
garded as lands of the future The
exhibition aims to increase the I'M
derstanding in Sweden of these
countries and to pave the way for
a more active cultural exchange
between them and Sweden. The

painting with faint signature
which he thought was that of the

him that his guess had been right
and offered him $1,000 for the
painting on the spot. The owner,
with a mere $50 invested. ac-
cepted the offer But here his in
tuition failed him. Only a few
days later he received telegram
from an American dealer Offering
