"Let's see ... milk and potato chips. That's 8¢. Gosh, I've only got 7¢. Can I pay you back tomorrow?" One thing about eating in the cafeteria, you meet some pretty nice people. Think you can handle all that food, Jim? Typical of many students during nice weather, these two girls enjoy their lunch outside on the steps. 25 Elgin High has a unique lunch schedule. It is unique because the students do not have to eat in the building or on the school grounds. Several years ago, due to over crowded conditions, the present lunch system was adapted. Students learn to gear their digestive systems to receive a com– plete meal in le s than twenty-five minutes. Stu– dents who drive may quite often be found at MacDonald s. The Prince Castle and Cook's Drug– store have their share of patrons, too. When weather permits, many students eat either in the park or on the steps. Elgin also has a school cafeteria. A complete lunch or ju t milk and potato chips may be pur– chased. Student workers act as cashiers. The cafeteria staff tries to provide tasty well balanced meals for teachers and students.
