The men cook breakfast Shrove Tuesday, Pancake Breakfast During the early Christian era pancakes were designated by the Church as the official food for Shrove Tuesday. Strict observance of Lent forbade the use of ecggs, butter, lard, or milk, so housewives use up their supply of these foods by making pancakes. The ingredients prescribed by the Church for these pancakes were symbolic: flour for the staff of life, eggs for vitality, milk for innocence, and salt for Wholesomeness. This tradition of the Church has been fol- lowed by Brownell Hall for the last three years in its celebration of Shrove Tuesday. The fac- ulty men and Mrs. Hedelund, dressed in aprons and chef's hats, made the pancakes. Mr. Martin and Mr. Larsen competed at pancake flipping while Mr. Moeckly stirred cocoa with one hand and turned sausages with the other. Mr. Johnson seemed to be figuring mathematically whether or not he could make two pancakes in a small skillet. Disgruntled Talbot boys, who were also wearing aprons and chef's hats, set and waited on tables. The Altar Guild, however, cleaned the kitchen and dining room after the break- fast, a fair job considering the excellent turnout. ,,,.,.x Claudia cleans up as Aywdqgxw If: ,-f Rei Head Chef relaxes
