► ’ 4111 ~ W▼ 1 A X BJHRMb iX IM-r- q I BUSY NOON PLACE AT MILFORD SCHOOL — Jane Bess, Lois Herr, Viola Kaiser, and Bonnie Yoder, left to right behind counter, operate like a well-oiled machine to serve the hungry students who start down the lunch line at 10:50 a.m, each school day. Teresa Henderson, prime time aide, punches lunch cards for grades one through five. This is a production operation because as she said, ‘‘they’re hungry when lunch time comes." She said the menu changes daily and that diners who finish all the food on their plates may have seconds if they wish. Although students must remain seated while eating, lunch time is a social time as there is also a constant hum of conversation. First grader Chalice Jordan commented with a grimace, “We only have a half hour. That’s not very long.” She said the food is good, though.

And generally, no matter how good the food is, the students are goingto complain about it. In order to achieve a little insight on just what students think about the cafeteria food in the 1980’s — staff writers of The Mail-Journal discussed the topic with a variety of students. In North Webster there were comments made in favor of the food in the cafeteria and comments against it. The photo shows three brave students who were willing to have their comments made public along with their pictures. From left, Jennifer Richcreek, 10. and a fifth grade student stated, “I think it’s better than it was last year because of a different type of milk, plus the food seems better.” Patti Biesemeyer, also a fifth grade student, stated, “I don’t like it at all.” She continued saying that she always eats in the cafeteria though, and never carries her lunch. Jeremiah Ward, fifth grader, on the right, added his opinion stating, “I think the food is a lot like it was last year and I don’t really like it, cause I didn’t like it last year either.” And, so the saga of “grumbling about cafeteria food" continues.
