February 22, 1924 Collins Quill Freshman Publication. Hot Lunch Some parents in this community do not realize what the hot lunch means to their children. The menus contain well-balanced rations, which will not injure any child's constitution. The lunches are well prepared, that is to say, well seasoned, well cooked, and digestible. A mind that works needs some kind of nourishment. A growing child cannot stand to eat a cold lunch every school day. We have milk which is tested to be pure. If a child' lunch consisted of milk alone, the nourishment would be sufficient. The hot lunch not only helps our minds to act, but it preserves our health. We should boost the hot lunch. Irene Dodd. (Insert 2003: Information from a 1929 graduate - The Hot Lunches were "Do it Ourselves Program" handled entirely by local school. State and/or federal government assistance not provided in this era. The domestic science/home economics teacher had primary responsibility of obtaining food and directing preparation by the sophomore girls taking domestic science as part of class work [likely required subject]. Also may have been some volunteer work and food provided by parents. Generally, one hot dish, quite often soup, that served to supplement cold lunch brought from home. Hot lunches served only during the winter months in the "early era." The charge was only enough to pay the costs.)
