Lunchroom Goes Bananas
An early-'70s Coronet film teaching cafeteria manners
THIS EIGHT-MINUTE educational film was posted by alumna Alison Maynard-Pillette on the MLC Alumni Facebook page in July 2020. Someone going by "cameraguy1365" had uploaded it to YouTube the previous year. Evidently it was a professional production by a fellow named Tom Chamberlin, for Coronet Instructional Media, Inc., a company active from the 1940s to the 1980s. It was filmed at MLC sometime in the early-to-mid-1970—and that must have been incredibly fun!
Comments on Alison's post don't reveal much about what the filming was like or how it came to pass, although a few of the many MLC students involved were identified.
