Hungry Mouths, Deluges Dominate Working Hours 'gEvery day we feed over 575 starving students for forty cents each. They complain about the cost, but they must admit that the price is lower than it would be if they brought their own lunchfi explained Mrs. lone Cox, Provine,s cafeteria manager. 4'We follow a definite planned menu which is drawn up by the central office downtownf' she continued. Besides serving a piquant variety of meats, vege- tables, and desserts, the cafeteria staff can also be credited for the tremendous success of the Booster Cluh's chicken box supper, which they prepared after regular school hours. Along with their usual duties of maintaining the cleanliness of Provine, the custodians aided in sup- plying the atmosphere which is necessary for the operation of an efficient school. Referring to the flooding of the front hall, Gertrude Robinson quipped, HWe,re just lucky it has happened only once this year. It usually happens two or three timesln if be Gertrude Robinson and Augustine Proctor harmonize on '6Wade in the Water as they reminisce about the hall- flooding incident.
