CAFETERIA ARLY in November, when the doors of Poly's latest and most modern building were opened, the school became the possessor of a cafeteria un' equaled in the West. In keeping with Miss Hazel Magnuson's program of upftofdate service at cost, the building has been equipped with an electric refrigeration plant, a battery of five gas ranges and a threeftier electric oven to keep eight steamftable lines and four handout lines in daily service. With the help of thirtyffour student helpers and eighteen paid women assistants, twentyftwo hundred students are served each day. All tasks about the building have been efficiently systematized. Everything is hurry, but back of it all is system. In the handout two registers noisily pound out about fifty sales a minute. The main dining room has a seating capacity of seven hundred, and here five more registers and many more helpers are busy. In the kitchen everything is neat, white, and spotless. Those in charge of the High School Cafeteria are Miss Hazel Magnu' son, supervisor of school cafeterias and Miss Mildred Druschel, both graduates of O. A. G., and Mrs. Madge Cecil.
