M. D. CLITHEROW HE school cafeteria is almost three years old! And, owing to the splendid co-operation of school and staff, it has grown in popularity. In spite of hard times every effort has been made to keep up the standard of efficiency in the consideration of vital necessities of the mid-day meal. It is the duty of the dietitian to plan a well-balanced lunch for your palate and it is surprising how a wise choice of food and drinks will change the aspect of your after- noon's work. The correct balance will renew energy and brain power and banish that sleepy feeling, mak- ing the hours after lunch Hy like magic. It is not customary in all cafe- terias to give teacher and student the same consideration and atten- tion. In our lunch rooms everyone has the same bill of fare and all seem satisfied, which is a happy state of affairs. Our educational facilities are first- class and we want our cafeteria re- ferred to in the same strain. Con- tinued co-operation is all that is necessary to accomplish this since the workers areh eart and soul in their efforts to please. If every student, who is unable to lunch at home, would patronize the school lunch room in ever so small a way, the question of Cafeteria or no Cafeteria would never arise.. We hope to be able to carry on under the same happy conditions, catering to your needs and desires at all times. EASTERN ECHO

CQI EXCHANGE 77 OFT IN THE STILLY NIGHT Oft in the stilly night When slumber's chain would bind me, Sad memory brings to light The homework piled around me- The quaking fears Of teacher's glares And words of anger spoken, The face that shone, now sad and drawn, The cheerful heart now broken. Thus in the stilly night, When slumber's chain has bound me, Fond memory brings the light Of studies put behind me. -Northland Echo, North Bay. 'kink B oners : I Sir Walter Scott wrote novelties.
