January 11, 1924 Collins Quill The Superintendent's Notes To the Patrons of the Collins School: An effort is being made to provide a hot lunch during the cold weather for the children who eat at school at noon. We are trying to make this just as reasonable as possible so that will be able to take advantage of it. We will try to supply each day a soup, a hot dish such as macaroni and cheese and scalloped potatoes, and milk to drink. We will try to supply these at 3 cents per dish or drink. If the demand were sufficient, we could supply bread and butter thus making it possible for the complete lunch to be purchased at school at a cost of eleven or twelve cents. It is not the intention that the child need to take any or all of the dishes provided. Pupils may buy one or as many dishes as they choose. Lunch tickets may be purchased for $1.00 on which the amount of each day's lunch will be punched. We believe parents will find these tickets the most convenient way of paying for the lunch, especially for the smaller children. The unused portion of the tickets may be cashed in at any time.
