Miss Frances Houchard, county lunch supervisor, spoke at Lanier School Aid Club about nutrition and the school lunch program. The group praised Lanier as one of three Negro schools with lunchrooms since 1940 and urged greater parental participation to ensure hot noon meals. The club voted to fund lunches for children unable to pay 25 cents and set aside 400 dollars for this purpose. Special thanks were given to Hollywood White PTA and Mothers' club for support. The next meeting features a Christmas party with Principal Roundtree and a chorus cantata by Lorenz students.
