The students of Central School's first grade, led by their teacher Miss Mildred Vaught, are learning to cook on April 20, 1943. With so many mothers involved in the war effort, many kids were caring for themselves and siblings at younger ages. The lesson was geared to teaching them to prepare nutritious meals and included exercises in reading, math and hygiene. The students are lined up to get supplies for the day with Billie McDonald dispensing the supplies. (T. Times 4/24/1943, pg. 5)
