1949

School children eat their lunch sitting on a bench at Old P.S.8 in Bedford Park. They have lunch box thermoses and sandwiches. The school has since been demolished.

  Listen to the the story:  

"Your sandwich -- look at that sandwich -- sit over there! It's tuna again. Don't you realize it smells and it leaks?

And you over there, is your thermos leaking? Look, it's going all over your fruit!

Hey you -- your shoelaces aren't even even! Who tied them for you this morning?!

Can I have your wax paper? My tuna fish is leaking."
