I remember milk was 2 cents when I started school and was up to a nickel when I graduated. Most kids bought chocolate milk because the white milk often had ice in it and was gross. Only the new building (North Dearborn High School) had a cafeteria, on Tuesdays the women's groups from the 3 local churches, the PTA, and the BVFD auxiliary took turns selling lunch. Hot dogs were 10 cents, barbeque 15 cents, potato chips, cupcakes, and brownies were 5 cents. The barbeque was made to a common recipe in the women's homes and brought to school to make sandwiches. Can you imagine what the health people would say about that today? Cupcakes and brownies were home made and donated.
While we had water fountains in the building, we didn't have restrooms. I had teachers who said when they went there the outhouses were in use, by the time I went there they had built a little block building next to the school that had modern restrooms. The boys side had urinals that were set into the concrete floor, perfect for the first graders to use. I have no idea what the girls side looked like of course.
