Eef 1 PoLLY PUT TEE-TCET-TLE CN Service Through the Unit Kitchen Although many departments co-operate with the cafeteria,-the shop, the printing department, and the sewing department,-the most help is, of course, re- ceived from the cooking rooms. The girls who have cooking in Unit Kitchen H. R. 7 help the cafeteria in many ways. When help in the cafeteria is unavoidably detained, these cooking girls come to the rescue. Out come the pots, tins, kettles and fry pans. How busy they are! Each girl cooks an amount that would do for her family, and serves it directly to the cafeteria by means of the dumb waiter which operates between the cooking rooms and the cafeteria. The girls appreciate the opportunity to cook in a quantity. Service Given by the Boys and Girls Did you ever stop to think what a busy little world our cafeteria is? At a few minutes after twelve the cafeteria helpers are all hurriedly being served their lunches and are putting on their caps and aprons to go to do their different tasks. The dish-scrapers are on the job, scraping all the dishes to have them ready to be carried to the dish-washers. By the cheerful co-operation of the pupils, all dishes are taken to the scrapers by the ones who use them, where they are cleaned, and carried by other helpers to the dish-washers. There are still other helpers who operate the electric washer, wash and dry the dishes and the silver.. In this way, almost all dishes, trays, and silver are clean and ready for use at one o'clock. The Help from the Parents How do our parents help? By appreciating the benefits of a hot dish at noon to supplement our cold lunches of sandwiches and fruit. If each one of us does not purchase the hot food, we would have no need for a cafeteria. Five of our parents have come into our kitchen to help get this food ready for us. They are Mrs. Jessie D. Hammond, Mrs. Donnie Ellis, Mrs. Louise Sicker, Mrs. Hildur Calvin, and Mrs. Riviera. T -- - r -for - 1 g l .

Ejg,,PoLLY PUT THE-KETTLE on Raviolis One day four of the girls from H. R. 26, Jane Canatella, Angelina Bruno, Mary Dangelo, and Lena Governale, made some raviolis in Miss MorreIl's cook- ing room. We started them the sixth period and cooked until the end of the eighth. Mary and Lena made the dough and the tomato sauceg Jane and Angelina made the Iilling and the meat balls. Mrs. Struthers, Miss Trowbridge, Miss Cone, Miss Newcomer, Miss Clapp, Mr. Beeson, and many other teachers came to watch us and were great- ly interested. When the raviolis were done we sent some of them to the various teachers who had been in to visit us. They said they liked this Italian dish very much. The girls in our class enjoyed them also. We had learned to make raviolis from our mothers, and were glad to dem- onstrate them to the class, in exchange for the American ideas that we carry into our home. Miss Morrell complimented us on our co-operation and the inter- est that was maintained.-Lena Gozfermzle, AS. Favor Making Miss Morrell's ninth grade cooking classes devote a lesson to the making of favors. Miss Trowbridge takes charge of this lesson and teaches the girls the fundamentals of working with tissue paper. Some of the girls last fall took orders for favors that were made especially for Thanksgiving. One of the ideas that turned out to be very attractive was a basket hung from a tripod. The colors were brown and two shades of yellow. Some of the suggestions received were carried out in green and red for the Christmas tables at home. Our room for this lesson was decorated with a kewpie bride and groom standing under a wedding bell, which could be used for a bride's party. These lessons are great- ly appreciated and enjoyed by all.-Marie Taylor, A9. - l . i l 4 I 1 T i gi 1 . Y , i E I
