Ex-Officio Staff THE STEPHENS CITY SCHOOL CAFETERIA Construction was begun on the cafeteria in May 1944 and it was first used by the students of Stephens City High School the following session. It was built and equipped largely through the efforts of the students, patrons, and teachers of the school and the citizens of Frederick County. It has a seating capacity of about 100 and, by staggering lunch periods, easily accom- modates the student body. During the first year of its existence Mrs. C. C. Rhodes acted as lunchroom manager in addition to filling the duties of Home Economics instructor, but, since then, a lunchroom manager has been em- ployed in the cafeteria. For the past two years Mrs. Arbutus Carper has occupied the position with Mrs. Zella Hausenfluck assisting. Many of the students of Stephens City School help in the lunchroom during their study periods.

Ex-Officio Staff THE FREDERICK COUNTY COMMUNITY CANNERY In February 1944 a group of civic-minded citizens petitioned the Fred- erick County Board of Supervisors to aid them financially in the construc- tion of a cannery-cafeteria building. Although turned down by the Board, the group did not give up, but held a mass meeting to secure pledges of iinan- cial aid from the citizens of the county and organized a building committee. Through the combined efforts of the people of Frederick County it was pos- sible to begin construction upon the cannery, which, since its completion, has saved the homemakers of the county time, labor and personal health, and enabled them to supply their families with better canned foods. Thousands of cans of fruits and vegetables are preserved in season each year at the can- nery. Although the building was financed by the citizens of Frederick Coun- ty, the modern equipment was donated by the Federal Government. The cannery operates under the supervision of Mr. James C. Gordon, assisted by Miss Mary Rudasill, Mrs. Bertha Stickley occupies the position as instructor and Mr. Sam Cook acts as engineer.
