Several fire drills are held each year to determine how fast the students can evacuate the building. Usually it takes not more than 68-72 seconds, which is good. On Tuesday, the school called in the alarm at the fire station as if it was a real fire. The fire drill was really a test for both school and fire department.

Most of the teen-agers prefer the coke, fries and hamburger. The elementary group complains of this not being like, “mom’s cooking.” ■ But to each of you who hear these complaints and wonder let me reassure you how good and nourishing I found the food. Testing the children in Svracuse recently,'! was a lunch guest for several days. Each day found the meal well prepared, attractive, and a hot dish on the menu. For the, price paid no one can afford to’ feed a child at home or complain of his child’s food. Not only that but you would go far to find a kitchen as spic and span as the i Syracuse hot lunch., kitchen. The stainless steel was shining and the counter the same. The women preparing and serving the food were neat and their hair protected by' nets. Their general appearance was exceptionally well groomed. As a member of the Syracuse community, mother of two boys in the elementary system, and as the I Kosciusko County health nurse, I ; commend-the hot lunch program ! and those connected with-the program heartily.
