CAFETERIA... food for the famished One of the services performed for students at McComb schools is the prep- aration of nourishing, tasty meals by the competent cafeteria workers. Hun- dreds of junior high and senior high school students are served during the lunch hour from 12:10 until 1:00 o’clock. Noontime, which provides fifty minutes of rest and relaxation, is the most popu- lar period of the day, and cafeteria workers are kept busy satisfying the hungry individuals. MRS. EDNA POPE MRS.
