NEW CAFETERIA TO OPEN
SOON
Free Movies For Those Who Eat In
School
Lexington High School soon will be
equipped with a new careteria! Sev
eral years ago L. H. S. students pat
ronized a cafeteria in our school. The
reason is not known why it was clos
ed, but it was such an advantage to
the students and teachers that the
idea is being materialized again.
In the cafeteria room, the floors
have been repaired, the walls painted
and new equipment is being bought:
counters, tables, chairs, dishes and
cooking utensils. The lunches will be
served on a non-profit basis; for fif
teen cents, one may buy a well-bal
anced, nourishing meal.
For entertainment, during the
lunch hour sound pictures will be
shown. There will be a variety of
pictures including comedies and some
educational pictures. Students who
buy their lunches in the cafeteria will
be admitted free to the shows.
The cafeteria is expected to be
opened sometime within the next two
weeks. This is certainly a boon for
all those who have not been able to
go home for lunch, but had to go up
town to eat.
Capt. and Mrs. Sink had been visit
ing Capt. Sink’s parents over the
Christmas holidays. They left recent
ly to take up a new post in Arizona.
The student body enjoyed the ad
dress and hope Mr. Sink will visit the
school again.
