Four fast-moving lines and a larger seating capacity enable students to enjoy a long-awaited forty minute lunch period- double the time allotted in previous years. Pastel walls, flourescent lighting, yellow formica-topped tables, and new salmon-colored chairs contribute to a more relaxing meal-time. A suction garbage dis- posal and automatic dishwasher benefit the cafeteria. In the cafeteria manager ' s new office, Mrs. Laura Snyder makes constant efforts to improve the ser- vice and menu for students and faculty. Such in- novations as dish heaters, temperature-controlled steam tables, and pass-through shelves from kitchen to counter area also facilitate food service. Conveniently located near the cafeteria so that students may purchase materials during their lunch hour, the bookstore supplies Ripplites with text- books and other equipment at an economical rate. The financial office, behind the bookstore, handles the records of all monetary transactions of the school. Financial secretary Mrs. Rosemary Clouser enjoys the cus- tomer service counter, a feature of the spacious business office.
