tkw , l The Qlafeteria 4 R Nythe fall of 1921, the School Board, hav- ing been urged much by the Parent- -il Teachers' Association, realized its dream of putting a large cafeteria in .,,', Charlotte High School. The cafeteria 619254-fp is a Wonderful addition to our high dm V? - 4 school, and has served its purpose well during the past year. It is under the very capable management of Miss Margaret Rogers, who was last year the head of the domes- tic science department in our school. The cafe- teria is furnished with all modern equipments, and is one of the best for its size to be found. 5 It has ordinarily thirty-eight tables, each of which will easily seat six people. Quite a few more tables could be placed in the room if they were necessary. An average of about two hundred persons is served daily. When one enters the cafeteria, he goes into a passage-way, on one side of which are iron bars for protection against passers-by, and on the other long counters filled with dishes of food served cold, such as salad, and with receptacles of delicious hot food, which is kept hot during the entire recess. First he takes a waiter, and then he passes along the counters, serving himself or being served by high MISS MARGARET ROGERS school girls behind the counters. At the end of the passage-way he gets knives, forks, etc., and then pays the cashier. The cafeteria pays for itself, but is not allowed to make a profit, and therefore all the things are sold very reasonably. Besides serving as a dining-room, the cafeteria is a delightful place for holding school entertainments. It has been a veritable blessing to us this year, and now seems indispensable.
