Students support drives, We like nothing better than giving our whole-hearted support to any and all worthy fund raising projects. With gusto that seems exhausting, we plunge in and work for the goals we set, and in many cases, we go way over the top. Right off the bat in the fall, activity tickets are sold. Pressure is poured on as classes compete for highest sales percentage. Buy an activity ticket today sing advertisements. In October, students are asked to Give Once For All in the Torch Drive. Awards are made for the best homeroom bulletin boards, so again, com- petition is great. When at last names and countries of the new ex- change students are known, the school literally explodes with hawkers selling cookies and raflle tickets, adver- tising car washes, and doing anything else to raise money. The two homerooms turning in the most money are rewarded by having the foreign students placed in their homerooms. What could sales promotion gimmicks do without the use of the PA? Often many people jam into the broadcasting room and squeeze around the mike to sing the praises of their product. Fred Rhines, Marty Allgirc, and Otto Laula push activity ticket sales. P During the AFS drive, the lunchroom is choked with tables displaying all sorts of foods. and in order to sec where the bargains are. a trip around the whole room is necessary. Sue Stout and Matt Napier are eager to help Sandy Jarosz and Mary Anne Croteau, while Otto Laula grabs a bite to eat himself. V go way over goals set Keeping tabs on each classes' contributions for the Torch Drive is no small job, but requires a good head for math. As the receipts come in. they are quickly counted and added to the class totals. Recording the day's contributions are Anne Abbott and Bob Brookman. V fQQw ' ki .. main, V J x 'news .ilm,. Q..

.4 AAll those savory muffins and rolls that students consume every day are made right in Seaholm's kitchen. Florence Er- matinger and Florence Collins scoop fresh dough from a giant mixing bowl as Maxine Banners waits, ready to shove the muffin tins into the ovens as soon as they are filled. The transition of the serving area from a row of cold steel counters to a tempting display of the day's menu takes quite a bit of time. Fruit must be ladled into bowls. salads and desserts arranged, and milk laid out, while during the lunch period supplies must be continuously replenished. Gertrude Killing, Ruth Lotero, Alice Thompson, Sue Cannon, Betty Corsi. and Ethel Reynolds get busy before the onslaught of Tasty foods are result Preparing a meal for 1,100 hungry students sounds like a nightmarish job, but that is just what the Sea- holm cafeteria staff does five days a week. With the trusty aid of the U. S. Navy cookbook and a store of home recipes, Mrs, Killing plans and supervises the preparation of the tasty dishes. Everything must be done in gargantuan proportions, with 200 pounds of meat, 3 cases of tomatoes, 2 cases of tomato paste. and a mountain of beans being required for just one day's order of chili. Government surpluses add to the regularly ordered supplies, but begin and cease at irregular intervals. Napkins, 10,000 to the box, are used at the fantastic rate of more than one box a week. Every day in spring and fall, a can of bug bomb is used to rid the kitchen and serving areas of flies and similar warm weather pests. To add to the confusion, a lamb experiment was made during the month of February, necessitating the staffs close cooperation with the U. S. Department of Agriculture. It's a big job, to be sure, but the women of'the cafeteria corps do it with an aplomb that would do credit to the finest of New York restaurants. the Iirst lunch shift. Soon they must start dishing up hot plates and sandwiches, putting dressing on the salads and butter ,on the rolls, and collecting money at the end of the line. Y
