Patsy McElroy (left) and Mary Ellen Kensinger of Hyattsville Maryland High School put out the baked potatoes just before the first shift of students start filing in for lunch. An average of 750 students per day are fed here under the joint Federal-State School Lunch Program. Many of the workers are home economics majors who get credit for work in the cafeteria.
