Georgetown and Scott County Museum

Good morning, Friends!
We are fortunate to have on loan from Southern Elementary some of their Time Capsule artifacts. We now have a mini exhibit of some of the items, as well as an opportunity to view remaining items of interest. One letter on display is from Pauline Marie Bruce, Cafeteria Manager, in 1976. So, we are going to have a numerical trivia question today.
According to Mrs. Bruce, she and her staff served 600 lunches on May 27, 1976. Based on her information can you guess the prices of a regular lunch 50 years ago?
Student Price:
Adult Price:
Extra Milk Carton:

Also, she shared the average hourly pay scale for cafeteria workers? What would you guess?

Wish we could enjoy those prices in 2026!
(Except for the hourly wage!)
