Proflts used for what they know best...good food
After a pleasant half-hour
sitting outside talking and sip-
ping honey tea punch, the 22
guests were ushered inside.
All eyes were immediately
drawn, like iron filitlgs to a
magnet, to the long table
laden with artistically ar-
ranged, delicious -smelling
platters, trays, salad bowls
and casseroles. The hungry
horde turned to find their
places at the decorated
tables, only to have their ap-
petites further honed by pro-
minently displayed copies of
the menu they were about to
enjoy.
Under salads were listed
triple fruit mold, Watergate,
green pea and chef's salad.
The exotic entrees were
chicken in sweet and sour
sauce, pastitsia (a macaroni
and beef casserole originating
in Greece), Joe's special
(hamburg and chopped
spinach), lemon rice with
egg, and gratin of turnips and
potatoes. The feast was top-
ped off with one's choice of
strawberry, raspberry or
peach blitz tortes, washed
down with tea, coffee' or a
fruit drink.
The scene could have come
from a Hollywood musical,
but it didn't. The "food, food,
beautiful food", was prepared
and served by the eight
students in Jean Turner's
special learning needs class
at Exeter Public School.
During the past year, the
SLN students have learned
the practical application of
mathematics, reading,
writing and metrics by,plan-
ning, buying groceries, cook-
ing, serving and charging for
dinners for the school staff.
When their teacher, Mrs.
Turner, asked what they
would like to do with their ac-
cumulated profits, she ex-
pected they would opt for a
bus trip to Canada's
Wonderland, or some similar
excursion. Instead, the young
people said they wanted to
use their money to cook up an
extra -special dinner for their
parents and the volunteers
who had worked with them all
year.
The whole school became
caught up in the spirit of the
occasion. When word leaked
out that the SLN students
didn't have quite enough
money (the cost of the dinner
for 36 was approximately $85)
the eight B s volunteered the
profits from the last two
issues of the school
newspaper. The grade sevens
showed up after class the day
of the dinner to help set up the
tables.
In a short after-dinner
speech, Mrs. Turner express-
ed her gratitude and thanks to
the parents and the
volunteers for their unflagg-
ing support and assistance.
She confessed she had also ex-
panded her person:.) educa-
tional horizons while teaching
her class. She now knows that
mathematically eight
students, a teacher and a
volunteer go with great di!-
' ficulty into a four by four kit-
chen. And that an old
refrigerator's efficiency
declines in direct adverse
ratio to its age.
Mrs. Turner told the
satiated diners that the SLN
class was the envy of the
school. A young student from
a regular class poked his head
around the corner•of the kit-
chen one day and said with an
envious sigh, "Boy, I'd sure
like to be in your class. You
guys do such neat things."
Principal Jim Chapman
reinforced what Mrs. Turner
had said. He expressed his
pride in the SLN class and his
pleasure that so many of the
parents were able to attend
the dinner. He thanked the
volunteers, and said new con-
tracts for the following year
were in.his office, offering
double the pay. (Two times
zero is still zero!)
The volunteers are reward-
ed in other ways. Each was
presented with a bright,
picture -filled book containing
all the recipes used in prepar-
ing the SLN's very special
SUMPTUOUS BANQUET — The special learning needs
class at Exeter Public school prepared a delicious din-
ner for their parents and the voluntee-s who help with
