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. Krueger, Idwal E. Jones. Row 2: Vernon C. Witt, William Warren, Harry Blocklinger, Thomas Schroeder, Fay Heston. Absent: Jonathan F. Crume, William Swango. each morning. 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.

office and clinic assistants Row 1: Jacqueline Weinert, Nancy Strayer, Marilyn Mangels, Bethel Taylor, Mary Coolidge, Jean Williams, Betty Brimberg, Marilyn Miller. Row 2: Jane Beeson, Joyce Hains, Virginia Anderson, Nancy Young, Calla Scherrer, Frances Teros, Betty Makedon. Girls from the junior and senior classes who hove free periods ore chosen by Dean Florence J. Liebbe to assist in the office during class periods. There are four or more girls in the office every period of the day. They work under the direction of Principal Charles O Austin, Jr., Miss Liebbe, Counselor Herbert L. Wagner, and Registrar Helen M. Downing. The assistants deliver notes and detention slips, help take care of absence sheets, collect attendance slips, answer the telephone, and regulate the lights in the halls. The girls who help Miss Liebbe and Mr. Wagner may have various other duties, such as filing excuses and making out detention slips. The assistants do not have to be stenogra¬ phers or typists, but they must know some¬ thing about office routine. During the day many students who are too ill to stay in their classes visit the clinic. Here they may rest for the remainder of o period or until they feel better. The clinic aids those who need simple remedies; such students are admitted upon the presentation of an excuse slip. This year about seven junior and senior girls, with free periods, were chosen to work in the clinic under the supervision of Mrs. Matilda Bacon, school nurse. Each assistant is in charge of the clinic for one period, must record the names of the students who come in, and see that they get up in time to get dressed and make up their cots. The assistants also make sure the beds are made with fresh pillowcases and sheets. The clinic assistants are chosen for their re¬ liability and capability, and during the past years the organization has shown its worthi¬ ness.
