Letters To The Editor:
Dear Editor:
In response to the letter published in the last issue of the Belles
concerning needed improvement in the Saga Food Service, we would
like to say that those complaints were unnecessary' and over-critical.
In our opinion, the food served here is not merely' acceptable, but en-
joy'able and far superior to food served at other boarding-schools. Not
many food services offer such well-planned meals, and meals which
usually please everyone. Of course there are times when certain meals
are not appealing to everyone, for at no time can the entire student
body be satisfied with every dish.
As for the remark concerning no s.vstem for complaints and sug
gestions, we would mention the fact that Mr. Rowe is available at
every meal, and that earlier in the .vear, the student body was given
a list in which they were to select their favorite foods. Not only' does
Mr. Rowe aim for satisfaction, but also goes out of his way' to arrange
special meals and decorations for holiday's. He also has been thoughtful
enough to provide refreshments during exam week.
In spite of the single instances which may' possibly' occur during
the year concerning the food, we do not think it fair to condemn the
entire food service, and we would like to thaide Saga Food Service for
the delicious meals served us this y'ear, and say' that we hope the excel
lent choice of foods will continue.

A Tribute To The Seniors
The Seniors—our friends,
counselors, and ideals.
’fhey' came in every size, .shapb
and form. There were the short,
the tall, the sophisticated,
the fun loving, the model-type,
the not so thin.
And each had their own distinc-
tiou-"
a shy' smile, a friendly
hello, an energetic personality,
a helping hand.
’fhey emerged from Penick da}'
after day', retracing steps to
Smedes and Cheshire.
We gazed on them—sometimos
with envy', and othertimes . ■ ■
'fhey entertained us with their
Cold Cuts and Senior Day',
’fried to sell us ashtrays and
night shirts,
And even told us tales of loUo
week ends,
’fhey gave their class unity,
and added depth to oF
school life; they made us
feel a part of St. Mary’s.
We grew close to some, aduiii'O’l
others from afar. Yet for ead*
we held respect.
Next vear they will be scattei;
ed aii«
gone. But they will
alway's hold a special place
in our hearts, ,,
For they' left us ideals to woU'^
for, goals to reach, and
memories to hold.
