Wakelon Cafeteria Now a Clean, Modern Lunchroom
Thousands of Dollars
Invested to Provide
Best in School Meals
The Wakelon School lunch
room, decked out in a lovely green
and white color scheme and decor
ated with pictures drawn and
painted by the students, is now a
bright and cheery place where the
children can enjoy their meals. It
is a great contrast to the bench
lifltedv room which
was used a few years ago.
Begun by Roy Lowry two years,
the modernization of the school
lunch room reached a climax this
fall when Principal Fred Smith in
stalled thousands of dollars worth
of new equipment.
So complete is the equipment
and so well-planned is the 1948
layout that State Health Inspec
tor Shaw could offer no sugges
tions on how to improve the
lunchrom or kitchen. “Wakelon
has,” Mr. Shaw declared “the only
lunchroom I have ever visited
where I could make that state
ment.”
New equipment in the kitchen
includes two stainless steel three
compartment sinks, equipped with
gas heat under the rinsing com
partment and valued at over
$1,000; a new electric potato peel
er; a S4OO four-speed electric mix
er; an additional 35 cubic foot re
frigerator; and a gas-heated steam
table.
Makes Work Easier
This equipment makes easier
the work of Mrs. Dewey Massey
and her capable staff, which in
cludes Mrs. Leona Fowler, Mrs. L.
A. Baker, Mrs. Eugene Bailey,
Mrs. Harold Eddins, Mrs. Russel
Williams, and Mrs. Grover Pearce.
From 11:00 when the first graders
file in to eat until 12:45 when the
last of the high schoolers have
their dinners, the ladies serve an
average of 575 meals daily.
For 20 cents, a school child en
joys a nourishing and delicious
meal which always includes at
least two ounces of meat and plen
ty of vegetables. For instance, on
Wednesday of this week, they
were served roast pork, turnip
greens, irish potatoes, apple sauce,
bread, and a half pint of milk.
The students file into the lunch
room to the hand washer, where
everyone washes their hands. Af
ter they dry their hands on paper
towels which are discarded in con
venient waste boxes, they go
around the lunchroom to the serv
ing counter. There their food,
steaming hot, is served. Four stu
dents sit at a table, which is plastic
covered and spotlessly clean.
Students who bring their own
lunches from home eat in the
lunchroom, and if they desire, they
can purchase a six cent bottle of
milk for four cents to drink with
their meal. On days when orange
juice is served with the meal, it is
provided free to those who bring
lunches prepared at home.
Mr. Smith stated that he pon-

The two boys standing with the
models of their cars of the future
above cars of bygone days, Tom
Goad, left, of Birmingham, Mich.,
and Ronald Johnson of Portland,
Oregon, received $4,000 each for
their designs. They are mighty
pretty, these cars of the future, but
they wouldn’t stand up a bit better
than a tin lizzie on these roads in
dered a long time before he finally
decided on how best to enlarge
and improve the lunch room. He
commended Prof. R. F. Lowry for
the work he had done, saying it
was a good start.
A pantry at one end of the
kitchen was torn out during the
summer, and this space was used
for the new sinks. At the other
end of the kitchen, in the space
where a single galvanized sink
stood last year, are the potato
peeler, the mixer, and a refriger
ator.
From Carolina Hotel „
The mixer, incidentally, was
purchased from the Carolina Hotel
by Mr. Smith. Although it cost
S4OO when new, and it is in excel
lent condition now, the cost to the
lunchroom was only $75. By
smooth talking, the school princi
pal persuaded. R. I. Lee to
scale his price down from the S2OO
originally asked for the machine.
It is equipped with a three-phase
electric motor, which required new
wiring into the lunchroom. Caro
lina Power & Light Company made
the wiring connections as soon as
Ralph Talton, local manager, was
told what was wanted, and the
school head described the local of
fice as “the most cooperative any
body will find anywhere.”
The lunchroom is kept fresh and
clean by constant scouring and by
a yearly painting. The colors used
are chosen in shades which will
make the room a pleasant place to
eat.
“We are proud of our lunch
room,” said Mr. Smith, “and we
extend a cordial invitation to pa
trons of the school to pay it a
visit.”
