Well nourished children fun
ction better than poorly nourished
ones. The food children eat each
day makes a difference in the
way they look, the way they feel
and how well they grow and learn.
The food children eat each day
should provide the nutrients they
need for good health and normal
growth including:
PROTEIN for normal growth
and for building and repair of
the body.
MINERALS & VITAMINS for
growth and to keep the body fun

No one food contains all of
the nutrients in amounts needed.
When the Type A School Lunch
is properly used, the lunch will
Include foods which supply need
ed nutrients and energy.
Foods that meet the Type A
lunch requirements are used
first. Then, other foods are
added to round out the lunches.
Younger children like to rec
ognize the foods they eat, so
plain foods, simply prepared and
lightly seasoned are used.
School lunch is meant to be a
learning experience, so new foods
are Introduced occasionally.
Foods in a form children can
manage easily such as blte-slze
pieces of meat, and “finger
foods’’ such as vegetable sticks
and wedges of fresh fruit are
used.
In a recent article in the “Sch
ool Lunch Journal”, the Stan
dards and Specifications com
mittee reported that “The Nat
ional School Lunch Program as
we have come to know it in the
past 20 years has been and con
tinues to be a far cary from a
“free lunch.’’ The average cost
of a Type A meal across the
nation Is 47 cents. Os this
amount federal cash reimburse
ment is currently averaging about
four cents and the value of com
modities fluctuates widely from
year to year.”
For several years, the par
ticipation of the average dally
attendance of students and teach
ers at E. L. Ficquett School
has averaged 97%.

President’s Message
One of the main problems that
has faced Newton County High
School in just this past year is
that of integration. This is a
subject a lot of people shy away
from; this is a dangerous subject
to talk about.
Well, personally, I think it
needs to be talked about. People
say that integration cannot come
about peacefully. I am proud
to say that we at Newton County
High School have met this prob
lem fairly and have coped with

it extremely well. We have had
no problems, or major incidents,
whatsoever. And I am extrem
ely proud to be the President of
such a Student Body as we have
at Newton High. We have ac
cepted the fact of integration and
have gone on with our daily
lives just as if nothing had chan
ged. I feel that this is the best
way, and the only way to cope
with this problem. That is—face
the inevitability of integration,
and go on living our lives un
changed.
If more people would accept
this fact, I believe there would be
less trouble and confusion in
the world today.
We feel that by letting you,
the citizens of the community,
know our problems, you can help
us to help ourselves. Without
your support, we have no chance
of solving our various problems.
Give us your support in order
that your children might receive
the education they deserve.
