Cafeteria Ladies

The cafeteria ladies were characters that could have stepped right out of the scene of a "Laverne and Shirley" television episode. Mrs. Hickie is on the left and Mrs. Dorothea Dugan is on the right. Student Judy McLinton peers through the doors.

I decoded some of the sign behind them with the 1974 prices. Here is a partial list of what we paid to eat in high school:

  • Sandwiches Meat 35 cents
  • Sandwiches Non Meat 30 cents
  • Pizza, Hotdogs 25 cents
  • French Fries 15 cents
  • White milk 15 cents
  • Chocolate Milk 15 cents
  • Ice Cream 15 cents
  • Chips 10 cents

My favourite were the pizzas, although in retrospect, they are probably like the no-name frozen little rounds that you get now. They were a treat back then.
