Cafe Monitor System
The Nilehi cafeteria is running smooth
ly under the able management o f 205
seniors who have stepped into their new
jobs like veterans, according to Miss
Harbert, supervisor o f monitors, and
‘ Katie” Kestenholz, head o f the kitchen
staff. There has been no running or
pushing, which is an improvement over
previous years, “ Katie” remarked, and
she especially conpliments the freshmen
for adapting themselves so quickly to
the rules.
There has been no change from last
year’s food prices, but if the cost o f
living continues to increase, prices on
some foods may have to be raised, par
ticularly on meat, “ Katie” says.
Miss Harbert announced that the man
agers for the fifth period lunch are Diane
Leach and Barbro Martinson, assisted
by Ed Beebe and Bill Leeming; sixth
period, Mel Halinton and Lester Febrow;
seventh period, Judy Larson and Char
lotte Dressel. Donita Yost and Joyce
Ash are responsible fo r the posters and
bulletins on school spirit brightening
the cafeteria walls.
Three board members o f the Student
Council of Riverside-Brookfield High
School visited our cafeteria Wednesday,
September 22, to see how our senior
monitor system runs in the cafeteria.
These students, Dave Guintali, senior
and president o f the board; Carol Seibert,
junior and chairman of the cafeteria
committee; and Bard Turner, sophomore
representative, unanimously agreed that
