November 21, 1946 School Hot Lunches to Cost 20 Cents - During the past twelve weeks every effort has been made charging .17, but we have been losing a little each month. Beginning November 25, the charge will be .20 per meal and as soon as prices start back to normal, we will again make an adjustment in the price.
Shop Class now has a body and fender repair shop. Bob Apker and Don Huntrods have been using the fender repairing and straightening equipment. They say they can straighten out any fender a woman can smash up. Anyhow, the Apker family automobile looks much better since the fellows have been working on it.
