MUCH OF INTEREST WAS SEEN These girls won't be afraid of the sea. Here is how they hand boys around in the gym classes. These boys feel quite at home with any sort of machine. Do you want a drawing made of your new home? These boys can do it.

WHAT WOULD SCHOOL BE WITHOUT THESE? THEY PREPARE OUR LUNCHES Mrs. Maude Lantz, Mrs. Sanders, Mrs. Erickson, Mrs. Swanson, Miss Peterson, Mrs. Madsen, Mrs. Anderson, Mrs. Grace Lantz. THEY TAKE CARE OF THE BUILDING Mrs. Cooper, Mr. H. Carlson, Mr. C. Carlson, Mrt Reynolds Mr Greenfield, Mr. I. 0. Johnson, Mr. Applegren, Mr. Ciaccio, Mr. J. Johnson. Mrs. Lantz, who is in Charge of the Lincoln cafeteria, heads a staff of seven women and twenty-six students. Three of the women start work at seven o'clock, while the others start at ten-thirty. They all work until three. All that work is required to furnish all the hungry Lincolnians with the excellent lunches they have every day. And the citizens enjoy their food. Specials, hot beet sand- wiches, and chocolate milk head the list in popularity. Hamburgers sell at the rate of one hundred and twenty a day; hot dogs, ten pounds; ice cream bars, thirty dozen; and milk, three hundred bottles. The students that work here re- ceive a twenty-five cent lunch as their pay. Thursdays seem to be the best days for the special lunches. The cold lunch room, located in the basement, is very popular with the boys. Miss Lucy Normile manages this cafeteria as well as the cafeterias in the other high schools. Many of the citizens of Lincolnia are careless about throwing papers and scraps around. The janitors, as I learned these very helpful men are called, follow the citizens around with a basket and pick up what they have dropped. Methinks these Citizens are old enough to know better, but I suppose they will never learn. At least I have seen many citizens in other lands who have the same habit of throwing paper hither and yon. As I walked along the halls, I saw a queer looking cart filled with books, so I concluded that these janitors assist the brainpumpers by keeping them supplied with materials. A janitress, Mrs. Cooper, takes care of the girls' dressing rooms. Truly, methought, these people are very important to the welfare of the citizens of Lincolnia.
