Mrs. Helena Anel and Mrs. Margrete Muller fill a vast number of cups with tea and milk for thirsty students during the noon hour. The Frankfurt High cafeteria is l lsy at almost any hour of the day. If it isn't the large kitchen staff preparing food for the students and faculty, then it's teachers on their coffee breaks. This is, of course, incidental to the planned meals which consist of breakfast, lunch, and dinner seven days aweekfor the students who remain inthe dorm permanently through- out the school year with the exception of major vacations. MfSgt. Collidge Ross, Jr., who is in charge of keeping the cafeteria running smoothly and efficiently, has his hands full from the constant flow of ravenous students. Another patient and co-operative worker is Mrs. Annelies Burkhard. She is the smiling and very accommodatinglady from whom hot and cold lunch tickets are purchased. The hot lunch line, which the majority of the students frequent, has a Well-balanced, hot meal to offer. In the cold lunch line the student finds a choice of sandwiches, salads, soup, and pastries. Inipatience is the rule as students wait their turn between stacks of lunch trays. x iff .YW It's good to see the faces of Ermate Azzoni and Antonio del Molino instead of just their hands as they clean trays. Hungry F.H.S.'ers survey the steaming food in the hot lunch line while their compatriots, seated, talk over the day's events. The long suffering attendant behind the counter wonders if it will ever end while he and his student helpers chuckle over the varied reactions to the cold lunch selection.

Dana! Que 64- Meaexwz Dave Ptak, co-president of the Senior Class, was born in Bryan, Texas, and has spent most of his life in the United States. He now lives in Czechoslovakia. His outstanding activities include Vice President of his Sophomore Class, member of the Activity Council in his Junior year, Editor of the Eagles' Echo, Quill and Scroll, and various athletic activities. A new student at F.H.S. this year, Dave likes the school for its friendliness, high standards, and outstanding faculty. He also feels that the coalition government, although a unique develop- ment, will help to unify the Senior Class and broaden the scope of its activities. Dave's impressions of Europe are mixed. He feels that Germany is more highly developed and the people more prosperous than he had expected and that it has set an example for the world in its economic and political recovery from the war. On the other hand, he feels Czechoslovakia has retained many of its old customs, even though the people are fairly prosperous. amea '76ZZmcm 60-79 Jim Tillman, co-president of the Senior Class, hails from Oxford, Mississippi. In addition to this office, he has held the position of secretary- treasurer of the Key Club and has been a par- ticipant in school athletics. Jim likes living in Germany and is interested the most in seeing and talking to the people- in a Dutch youth hostel,.on an Italian beach, or right here in Frankfurt. I have met people who have convinced me that people everywhere are not unlike the people at home. They may speak a different language or eat a different kind of food, but they still enjoy and laugh at the same things. The idea of a coalition government is new to Frankfurt, but it has proved to be successful. Jim believes that since Dave and I seem to be engaged in a contest to see who can do the most for the Senior Class, we actually get a lot more done than we would have if there had only been one president.
