In cooperation with the Oklahoma State! School Lunch Division, schools provide a class meal, which typically consists of meat or meat substitute, a green vegetable, a salad, bread, butter, dessert, and milk. The total job of providing lunches in all of the schools constitutes big business when it is understood that during the last school year 173,402 lunches were served throughout the city's school system, and for which children paid $45,489.18, an average cost of 26c per meal to the student. In addition, schools were able to add to the quality of lunches through assistance received from the State School Lunch Department in the amount of $10,109.14 and through a modest supply of food commodities received from state sources. In the expense column the school lunch report shows an expenditure of $39,652.92 for food, and $16,526.10 for salaries of lunchroom workers.

Largest single school food preparation center has been the Okmulgee High School lunch room where last year 78,440 individual meals were prepared. This unit, in addition to serving Okmulgee High School students, prepared and delivered food daily to the lunch rooms of Emerson, Franklin, Lee Roosevelt elementary schools until the end of the first semester when with the completion of the auditorium-lunchroom unit at Emerson school, this school began preparing its own food and as a result Emerson, during the last five months of the school year, served 8,841 pupil lunches. Next largest single operating lunch room unit is the Wilson Elementary School where last year 33,029 meals were served, followed by Horace Mann where pupils were served 27,954 meals, Attucks Elementary School where 20.965 meals were served and the Bannker Elementary School where the kitchen operated only three months and where 4,173 student lunches were served during the later months of the school year. Students at Dunbar High School are served lunches in their own lunch room which are prepared in the kitchen of Attucks school building. Cost of lunches in Okmulgee High School is 35c while in all other schools of the system pupils pay 25c per meal.

A unique feature of the Okmulgee High School program is that food prepared in the high school kitchen is transported to three other elementary schools in stainless steel vacuum type food containers which insure proper delivery of food to these several lunch rooms in wholesome and satisfactory condition. This year this unit will continue to prepare and deliver food to the lunch rooms of Franklin. Roosevelt and Lee schools. All 1 funds collected through the lunch rooms are reported daily to the business office of the Board of Education for all school accounting is centralized under the general direction of C. C.

Warriner, Administrative Assistant in charge of business affairs: of Okmulgee schools. In commenting on the school lunch report. Superintendent James Frazier said "Many outstanding educational and health authorities insist that a properly conducted school lunch program offers not only the opportunity for students to have a well bai. anced, well prepared and wholesome lunch during the schog! hours, but that its educational advantages are significant in that children learn through experience proper kinds and types of food which will contribute most to their C.

within two years a well known critic had written: "This young artist shows promise of becoming the finest wood sculptor in the United States. Any object seems to lend itself to his individual, effulgent style." The money he earned was not enough to support his growing family, and for several years he worked as a pattern maker with a Tulsa iron firm, and then joined an aircraft manufacturer as a die finisher. Gradually, collectors across the country began to discover the pieces of art Stone created out of ugly chunks of wood. He. gave up his regular job to supply the demand and gradually sales became brisk enough to support his wife and eight children.

Those sales also put Locust Grove on the map of the art world in letters big enough for even an art critic to locate.

A Tech Photo) Third Grade Has Been Added To Lee School in Okmulgee Lee School, activated years ago by the Board of Education, will the third grade this year in addition to the first and second grades which were taught there last year. This building, located at Muskogee Avenue and 8th street, was added to the city's elementary school system in 1960 as a part a program to better accommodate elementary school enrollments in grades 1 to 6 in the city's school system. According 1 to the Board of Education program, such elementary grades will be added to this building progressively each year as are needed to relieve overcrowded conditions at Horace Mann, Emerson. and Franklin schools.

They also enjoy the pleasant perience of eating with their fellow students and in many cases profit by the orderly unprocess der which schools serve the noon day lunch. Our experience gained during these past several years has shown that many children actually gain weight and better eating habits as result of their participation in the lunch program. This, in addition to the convenience of working parents in many cases eliminating the neces. sity for long trips home for lunch, makes the program desirable where schools find it feasible. principals and teachers always welcome school patrons and visitors to our lunch rooms and encourage them to visit the lunch rooms occasionally, eat with the pupils, and see for themselves these operations in progress, First lunch serving day in the this year will be on Wednesday, September 8, said Frazier, For Delivery of WINTERS Dairy Products Phone SK 6-4043 Of 11001 Henryette (Cell.

Oklahoma Crossroads By MAC SEBREE United Press International LOCUST GROVE (UPI) One of America's finest wood sculptors is "a man with rare genius who resides in an unknown community somewhere in Oklahoma." So said one of the nation's top critics. Well, that "unknown community" is Locust Grove, and the man with rare genius is Willard Stone. And while residents hereabouts might be inclined to lament the critic's lack of geographical knowledge, they, won't quarrel with his appraisal of the Stone, 46, held a "Best of Willard Stone" exhibition at Tulsa's Museum in July which attracted record crowds.

Now, in a few weeks, will come perhaps the highest tribute America can bestow on an are tist a one-man show at New York City's Kennedy Galleries. Stone's rise to eminence in his field has all the touches of the classic American success story in which almost overwhelming odds are overcome to reach the top. That is certainly the story of Willard Stone. As a youngster near his birthplace at Oktaha, near Muskogee, Stone spent much of his time down on his knees in the cotton fields. He worked to help support his mother and brothers and sisters after his father died when he was one year old.

His mother noticed early that Stone became fascinated with art. Every piece of paper the shy, quiet youngster could find was turned into a canvas for his crayons. Working in the fields, Stone would notice the animals and birds about him. At night, he would put them on paper. One day Stone found some playthings.

The turned out to be dynamite caps and one exploded in his hand, blowing away three fingers and mangling the rest of his right hand his drawing hand. could think of only one thing." says Stone today. "The explosion had ruined my right hand -the only thing which God had given me to find my happiness. But the youngster and his moth. er were close, and she comforted him, encouraged him, told him to bear up and draw strength from the tragedy.

He tried drawing with his left hand, and struggled vainly to conquer the awkwardness of his left arm. Later, after his right hand was pretty well healed but still more or less useless, Stone remembers that he began to play in a red clay bank near his house, Soon he became fascinated with the ole jests he could model in the moist dirt THE When he was 15, he enterse same clay models in the Muske gee State Fair.

There, he studied under two learned teachers, the late Acee Blue Eagle and Woodrow Crumbo.

Thus launched into sculpturing as a career, he began to win a few prizes. They weren't enough to make him a living, but he pursued his art whenever he had a spare moment.
