.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.

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
