Breakfast was served in Rock Island high school ' s cafeteria this year at the suggestion of Principal Charles O. Austin, Jr., who felt that many students came to school so early that they did not eat breakfast at home. About seventy-five breakfasts were served Row 1: Walter Dunlap, Edward D. Sorenson, Ernest W.

Bacon and eggs cost 10 cents; dry cereal, 5 cents; milk, 5 cents; and juices, 5 cents. This year Mrs. Blanche Fellows took over as cafeteria director. She plans the meals, orders the food, supervises all the work, and helps wherever she is needed. Every noon an average of six hundred regu¬ lar luncheons and about one hundred and twenty-five humphries are served. The regu¬ lar luncheons sell for 35 cents each and the humphries for 50 cents each. Mrs. Fellows reports that the students ' favorite foods are turkey and barbecues. Food has to be ordered and prepared in large quantities. Potatoes are ordered by the 5,000 pounds. At Christmas time it took 50 loaves of bread to make the dressing for the 27 turkeys served; and when ham is served, around thirty hams are prepared. Mrs. Fellows is assisted by Mrs. Jeanie Cocks, Mrs. Florence Garrity, Mrs. Katherine Hendrickson, Mrs. Mabel Krueger, Mrs. Mary Lindenmeyer, Mrs. Evelyn Nichols, Mrs. Eliza¬ beth Ovendon, Mrs. Anna Plambeck, Mrs. Margaret Wager, and Della Wiley.
