Viewpoint
By Bob McRae
I suppose we’ve all complained about school cafeteria food at one
time or another. I'll admit to being guilty myself. I won’t even try to
convince you that I enjoy every dish we have at Kings Mountain
Senior High School as much as I do the fried chicken our ladies fix so
well. But you should know that school cafeteria programs have ad-
vanced by leaps and bounds over the last few years, and I think we
have one at our school which is second to none.
Preparing food to serve over 600 students and faculty members each
day is no easy task. At times that job is made more difficult by having
to plan menus while using foods that must be bought in large quan-
tities to help keep the price of meals down. Our students pay 85 cents
for a plate lunch, and adults who eat pay $1.25 for a meal. Keeping
prices down is a major concern that has been handled well in our
system, but concern about high prices prevents us from going to the
grocery store to purchase the same items you see when you do your
shopping. A formidable task awaits any school food service employee
who wants to provide well-balanced but appetizing meals.
At our school Joyce Hord and the 10 ladies who assist her do a
tremendous job in meeting this task. I think there are several reasons
for the success of the cafeteria program, and I would like to share them
with you.
Above all is the willingness of the staff to provide patrons with a
variety of foods from which to choose. No longer does the one choice
meat exist. Each day students may choose from at least two main en-
tree items along with a variety of vegetables and salads or desserts if
they want a plate lunch. Other choices are also available. A well stock-
ed salad bar is in operation on most days. Ala Carte items are also
available. These may range from sandwiches to desserts. A selection of
various beverages including milk, tea, and juices is also available. I
believe that most students can find something each day that they can
enjoy. The food is good, and the price is right.
Another reason for our fine program is the staff's willingness to try
new things. Frequent buffet lunches have become rather well-known
about town and rightfully so. The real compliment about them lies not
so much in the delicious food on the buffet line but in the staff’s
cooperation in sending hundreds of students through such a line.
Students have reacted favorably and handled well the additional
responsibilities such an opportunity places on them.
If you have attended any of the banquets at school you know that
the staff’s catering capabilities are first rate. This related phase of our
school food service program enables us to welcome guests to the
school with the knowledge that a good meal awaits for selected special
events. This certainly places an extra burden on the staff, but they ac-
cept it willingly and are a very important part of the success we have
enjoyed at such events in recent years.
Martha Wright is our system’s School Food Service Director. Her
Job is a difficult one, but because she handles the central decisicasmms
j > tim #10 Improve their services to
ying, paperwork, and training of
employees has been a real asset to cafeteria programs.
You'll always be able to find a few who want to complain about any
school cafeteria. That will be true for the high school as well as any
other. But considering all factors the staff deserves a great deal of
. praise for the excellent job they do in providing nutritious meals to our
* school faculty. I'm sure all principals feel the same way about their
* cafeteria workers.
I think the demands of a high school lunch program are extensive. I
am convinced that many of the students would eat nothing while at
school if such a variety did not exist for them. Even with everything
the ladies do to contribute to our school we often forget to say thank
- you. They have to clean up the mess when we forget. They seldom get
- a moment to pause during their work day. They deserve a pat on the
* back, and you deserve to know what a fine job they are doing. If you
: get a chance, try our cafeteria out. We'll be glad to have you eat with
school. This coordinz ise
: us. Call me at school or: call Mrs. Hord if you would like to eat at -
i school one day. I think you’ll find that school cafeterias “have come a
{long way, Baby!” I know ours has.
