NOTES FROM THE KITCHEN By LILLIAN FUKA How many remember how happy the teachers appeared on the morning of February tenth? Didn’t you hear some exclamation as ‘“Doesn’t Miss B. seem unusually happy?’’ ‘‘Did you see Miss X. all togged up?’’ ‘‘Say! What is going on, anyway?’’ Well, this is the explanation. The Domestic Science Department gave its annual luncheon to the faculty and the Board of Education at noon of that day. It was given in the sewing room in the barracks, a cheerful place with its Valentine decorations, but too far from the kitchen. Hearts were used as place cards and red flowers and candles were on the table. Individual cakes in heart shape were made. Of the dinner itself there is not much to say, as it was true to the department’s reputation for good dinners with Miss Lindstedt to direct, assisted by Miss Nussey. The guests really ate with a relish. We had, of course, one great handicap and that was the serving; everything had to be carried from the kitchen to the barracks, plate by plate, and the day was anything but warm. After we were through serving we left the guests to talk over things, and we went to the kitchen to have our own dinner. We all felt well paid for our work, for the teachers came in and praised the dinner, serving and all. But Oh! didn’t we wish it were report card day? You know the saying is, ‘‘The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.”’ The teachers are having some very social luncheons (not socialized recitations) once in a while. One teacher takes charge for a particular noon, does most of the figuring and planning, and then when all are

THE FUAMBEAU THE TRAILERS By CAROLINE PLATT ’21 ‘‘There will be a meeting of the Trailer Club to-night in Room 4.’’ This is the notice which goes to the various assemblies each Wednesday afternoon. Many students have asked, ‘‘What is this club, and what do they do?’’ Here is the answer. The Trailer Club is an organization of Junior Girls organized for the purpose of promoting interest in the out-doors, and also to give the girls experience in public speaking. Every other week a program is given. Sometimes it is a musical one, sometimes a literary one. Each girl is willing to do her part to make these programs a success. Miss Jones and Miss Pasewalk, our two faculty advisers, help us in all our undertakings, and we owe many thanks to them for their un- tiring efforts in our behalf.. The officers of the club for the first semester were: President - - - - - - Lola Peterson Vice-President - - - - - Dorothy Napiezinski Secretary - - - - - - Irene Schroeder Treasurer - - - - - - Emma Sand Sergeant-at-Arms - - - - Isabel Morris Second Semester: President - - - - - - Evangeline Lueth Vice-President - - - - - Ethel Nelson Secretary - - - - - - Dorothy Kirchner Treasurer - - - - - - Sylvia McMullen Sergeant-at-Arms - - - -.

THE FLAMBEAU through, submits the bill to the teachers, each paying her part. The kitchen is becoming a dining room, parlor and everything in one these days; we are certainly getting use out of it. I don’t know what would happen if the kitchen were to disappear some day. The teachers look forward to this day as one on which they can enjoy a very lively noon hour. Of course, there are extra dishes to do, but we don’t mind; we have grown used to them. That is what we are paid for. On the whole we are getting very good service from our kitchen and hope that when the new high school comes the department will be found worthy of ideal quarters with a real dining room. Manitowoe High School is not to be outdone in anything. On the day of our debate with Two Rivers, it was decided that it wonl4 he a good idea to treat the boys no matter who was victorious, showing the rea! spirit of our school. Accordingly, the little room off the kitchen was made spick and span and the Victrola was brought downstairs. Immediately after the debate, ice-cream and wafers were served by Lillian Fuka and Zita Gallagher to the debaters with a few of their friends, judges and teachers. One of the judges said it was the best ice-cream he had ever tasted. Soon after the judges came and inspected the kitchen. Even if Two Rivers did lose they certainly did not show it when they came to have their cream, and I am sure they carried away a good impression of our school. Dancing continued until the returns from Neenah were received and then we all said ‘‘Good-night,’’ with the thought that Friday, the thirteenth, is not the worst day on our calendar.
