Lutheran High School - Paw Prints Yearbook (Los Angeles, CA)

THE BIG Fistfulls of coins and dollars came out of stu- dents ' pockets every day in return for food off the lunch truck. It was such a tragedy to see all that money ride calmly off our campus in the owner ' s pocket. A plan was concocted by Mr. Reitz to start up a little stand on campus that would sell all the goodies the lunch truck peddled. It could be run by LHS people instead of outsiders. Mrs. Alfred Parker leaped to our aid. She bought drinks, potatoe chips, sandwiches, and other yummy things to sell on the day of the Snack Shack ' s grand opening. But could this deal work? Could we get enough money to pay for the food? Would the profit be big enough to bother with? Would kids even buy food from the stand instead of the old catering truck? The first time the Snack Shack was open for lunch, bodies piled up against the window in im- patient disarray. By the time the bell rang to go to fifth hour class the shelves were bare. This phenomenon repeated itself day after successful day. If you think scrambling up to buy your food is frustrating you should have to sell it. The minute the bell rings kids thunder towards your window from all directions. Fifty thousand kids want fifty thousand different things and they ' re all fiercely jingling their money at you to make you hurry up. Finally lunch time ' s over. Whew! But just look at that big pile of money in the tray! Shout " Bingo " ! We ' ve won!
