Karen. :
In her position, Karen also con-
ducts seminars. Recently, she coor-
dinated the African Famine Relief
program and the United Way Drive
for the First Eastern Bank.
“Karen received her Associate
Degree in Business Administration
from King’s College and is now
studying for her Bachelor of Science
Degree iin Business Administration
which she expects to receive in
May, 1986.
Karen noted that four of the
members of the personnel staff at
the bank are women and the bank’s
recent merger with the Scranton
National Bank brings the total
number of women in personnel to
five.
Karen spends most of her time
outside of her working hours study-
ing or reading literature pertaining
to the banking business or to her
school work.
“In order to be successful at both,
it keeps me busy,” said Karen. “If I
have any leisure time, I enjoy
spending it with my family. We are
a close family and enjoy getting
together when we can.”
Karen is secretary to the Voca-
High School and a member of the
American Institute of Banking.
present,” she said. “When I have
received my degree, I hope to
become more involved in other
activities.”
Food

Ehret claims she has tried to

plan menus, having a la carte spe-
A number of students were asked
why they were not purchasing
in the cafeteria. The
answers ranged from dislike of the
food (no flavor, said many)..to it’s
‘the same stuff over and over
again...we’d like to have something
effectively solved its budget prob-
lems, that figure would have
remained the same. The figure has
increased, however, despite A.R.A
making a profit in the last two
years.
Apparently A.R.A. saw no better
way to balance the budget than to
cut employees’ hours. Food costs
are kept to a minimum, as A.R.A.
buys wholesale and receives govern-
ment commodities. Asked if the
budget could be amended with more
students buying lunch, Vidlicka
agreed.
The ‘‘better news’ “is Cindy
Rogers, Ehret’s replacement.
Cindy has been working for the
Scranton School District under
AR.A. since March of 1983. She
lives at 1705 Tall Trees Ave., in
Dunmore, with her husband, Kevin.
Rogers admits to being a little
surprised at the sudden promotion,
but former Supervisor Kathleen
Clemente believes she’ll do wonder-
fully.
“Cindy is very capable and I'm
certain she’ll carry on Mary’s good
programs,” says Clemente.
Rogers received her dieticians
degree from Marywood College and
is currently taking graduate courses
at Wilkes College.
Mead, at one point, suggested that
perhaps making the food more
attractive might appeal to the stu-
dents more.
Considering the problems in the
cafeteria, Vidlika maintains that
AR.A. will only get another con-
tract if more children are eating
lunch. The aim, she says, is to
break even and assure each child a
good, hot meal.
When A.R.A. began working for
the district, there was an $80,000
debt built up over the years when
the school district ran the cafeteria.
According to the figures, this
amount has increased. Had A.R.A.
