THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION 4 OUR LUNCH ROOM The Social Welfare Committee has re- cently written to several schools request- ing information concerning their lunch rooms. 1 happened to see one of the replies and I was very much impressed with the size and completeness of the lunch rooms of these schools, which were smaller than ours. There are several im- provements which, 1 believe, could be made in our lunch room and I will say a few words regarding them. What impressed me most was the large variety of things that they offered to eat, for example : apple pie, coffee, various kinds of cake, fruit, and soup, besides many other things which we never see. ft seems to me that in a high school the size of ours we might have a greater vari- ety of food. Another improvement which I think would make things more agreeable would be to serve lunch after school until pus- siblv two o’clock. This would make it unnecessary to go home, and yet would assure those who remain for afternoon sessions something to eat. A few chairs placed in the lunch room would also add somewhat to the pleasure of eating. As it is now a person having a dish of ice cream in one hand, and a bowl of soup in the other, finds himself in a very embarrassing position. If a little more attention was given to what the student wants to eat, and less to the bread and milk diet, the lunch room would certainly be of greater value to the school. I also believe selling food after school hours would he a great help. These two suggestions I feel would, if carried out, make things more pleasant for every-l one. I hope this recommendation may inspire others to give their opinions as to how we can improve the lunch room. G. Bourne, ’25. Thy Ik Vet lli Fo PUBLIC SPEAKING Our school numbers among its many j advantages a class in Public Speaking. This course of study has been the cause ! of much critical comment by the Juniors and Sophomores, and many hours of worry for the unlucky Seniors, but every- thing good has its critical points. For all their worry and anxiety the Seniors realize now, and will realize much better in the future, what this branch of study means to them. The student taking Public Speaking is fortunate in many ways. He gains con- fidence, fluency, and the ability to say what he has to say and then stop. I am sure that for all the joking that has been cast upon Public Speaking the school appreciates this course. — A Senior. Some have said “Life is a Comedy” Ithers have said “Life is a Tragedy” But I say “Life is a composition of humor and pathos, so blended, that sep- arated they are false definitions of that much defined word, “Life.” Margaret Donahue.
