This Day in History: 1939-06-03
The final event of the Girl Scouts was an outing at Sunset Lake, Mahwah. The group was divided into three groups for a contest in meal preparation and serving. Each bought, prepared, and served a meal to their group and an adult advisor, the winner being declared the group who could do this most deliciously and cheaply. The winning meal, consisting of Italian spaghetti, buttered rolls, fresh pineapple, cookies, and coca-cola cost only 20 cents per head. The second place meal consisted of hamburger, buttered rolls, fresh peas, potato chips, apples, cookies, and coca-cola cost 25 cents per person. (Bristow)
