About the School
The cafeteria is open! On Tuesday,
November 1, the sliding doors were
raised and revealed to us what reno
vations had taken place in the kit
chen. A rack is situated in front of
the windows so that we may slide our
trays along in the hope that we don’t
spill the contents to the floor. Trays,
knives, forks and spoons are pro
cured from a stand placed before the
rack. Inside the kicthen are an im
mense stove, mix-masters, meat cut
ters, a refrigerator, a dish-washer
and other essentials for cooking.
The ladies who look after the pre
paring of the food are Mrs. J. Yemen,
Miss C. Gannett and Mrs. A. Nichol. As
Miss Gannett has pneumonia, Miss
Joan Seddon is taking her place. Girls
from various grades are being selected
to help with the serving for a period
of five days.
The first meal was served November
3rd., for twenty-five cents. The menu
is as follows: Potatoes, cold meat,
green beans, cookies and plums, milk.
