■-c— ^ From The Principal I" By Stanley Kotzen Principal, Lower Cape May Regional High School I*iay ni-giundi nrgn xnooi

Harry Truman has always been associated with the phrase "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the ktichen." There have been fewmore literal demonstrations of the meaning of that phrase that we saw demonstrated at LCMR during our first week of school. Under the enormous stress of re-opening our kitchens, feeding 83 percent of our more than 1,500 students, and extremely high temperatures and humidity, our cafeteria staff performed with genuine "grace under pressure." THEY WITHSTOOD the heat, they stayed in the kitchen, and they did it in a manner that reflects loyalty to our school and its students and staff. Joan Listwan is our cafeteria supervisor, and she has developed a staff of extremely capable women who must take pride in the often thankless but necessary job they perform for this community. At a time when many schools across the country have opted for catering services and automated cafeterias our food service remains functional, efficient. and traditional. THE REASON is simple - people. We have people who care about their work and go through the daily process of offering lunch to our students for whom there is seldom any awareness of all the planning and preparation that go into the process. Preparing pizza in a

school cafeteria when the temperature and humidity are in the 90s is not a pleasant or comfortable task, but these women did it last week because it was their job and our students expected to be fed regardless of the weather. WHAT IS more significant, they worked under these conditions without complaining — they very rarely do. They were at their various work stations Welcome Center Stays Open SEAVILLE - The Visitors Welcome Center in the Seaville Service Area at milepost 18. Garden State Parkway will remain open all winter, but with reduced hours of operation, the County Chamber of Commerce has announced. Chamber personnel will remain on duty at Seaville till the end of September. The Cape May Court House Office will remain open seven days a week until Late October, when it will go on its five-day week winter schedule. Member businesses who are going to remain open for fall and winter business are urged to bring a supply of brochures, menus, and business cards into the chamber offices for distribution.

trying to smile and do their best. (We can learn a lesson from that). There is hardly every a comedy monologue that is based on growing up in America that doesn't take a shot at school lunches or the lunch room staff. The meals are easy targets since the dietitian attempts to provide maximum nutrition at a minimum price. THE WOMEN who serve the meals are often the butt of easy laughs because of their motherly and occasionally grandmotherly concern for the dietary habits and table manners of our students. We don't take our menu or our staff for granted, and we appreciate their efforts. These women of whom we are most appreciative are: Mary Ann Hughes. Lillian Cella. Carol Shackleton, Joyce Dunne. Marlene Neill. Gloria Sutton. OUR FOODS service workers are: Dot Alberts. Francis Bishop. Janet Brown, Lorene Brown. Sandy Brown, Eleanor Caples, Mary Cabrilli, Pat McCurry, Bertie Miley, Alice Mendyk, Pearl McDuell, and Linda Shoemake. We didn't need the hectic and uncomfortable start of school to recognize their efforts, but that situation was one that brings out the best and worst in people. For our cafeteria staff it was nothing more than their SAME productive effort of doing their best in a non-glamorous job, every day. I have the feeling Harry Truman could relate to that kind of effort.
