I like this class...

This class is the hardest, most fun, and most rewarding.  The teachers are great, the lessons memorable, and the banquets enjoyable.

I like this class...

Hospitality Services prepares us for college.  It's a great class to be in!  I learned by working on the salad bar, in the bakery, and making gravys.
