In grade school, our hot lunch program was WONDERFUL! The cooks were two older ladies from the community who were excellent cooks, and who had long experience in cooking for very large groups. Everyone loved those lunches, and all the homemade baked goods, including bread. I always thought that the school lunches were every bit as good as I got at home, and my Mom was a very fine cook.
I don"t know if there was a program for some kids to get free lunches, but I do know that no child ever went hungry. If my memory is correct, the lunches cost 25 cents for the lower grades and 35 cents for grades 6,7, and 8. Milk was in half pint bottles at first, and later in small cartons. For most things, you could eat as much as you wanted.
But then I went to High School, and discovered that the hot lunches there were terrible as compared to what I had been used to in grade school. They also were more expensive, and the portion sizes were quite small. In High School, I seldom took hot lunch, and my Mom packed me delicious lunches, with lots of variety.
I always wondered if the High School cooks just didn"t care, or if there was some other reason that the meals they produced were so poor. We thought that they had the same supplies available as the grade school cooks had, but I would give the High School meals about a 2.5 on a 10 scale, while the grade school meals were almost always a 9 or even 10. Good cooks make all the difference in the world!

Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
