. Til-IE VAN-Sf? 193g CAFETERIA The cafeteria is a very important and valuable feature of the Van Buren School. Daily luncheons are prepared, by the home economics girls under the very capable direction of Miss Modesitt. The food is not only of good quality but also is sold to the students at a reasonable price. Many students eat Warm luncheons in the school cafeteria at less cost than they could prepare them at home. So efficient has been the work of Miss Modesitt and the cafeteria girls that we are sure their husbands will never suffer from the lack of well-prepared food. Mildred, wake up! -Mrs. Marks.
