72,000 Servings az Yeczrl... Cafeteria Again Ranks High The hands of the clock are approaching THAT TIME. lt's becoming increasingly difficult to concen- trate on lessons. A bell rings and the class is off to the cafeteria! Another of the three 30-minute lunch periods has begun. Before the three meal periods conclude, 420 students will have purchased the 30-cent, nutritionally balanced meal . . . and all will have returned to their classes, rarin' to continue the day's activities now that their appetites have- been satisfied.
