Why do biodegradable plastics
disintegrate while other plastics
do not? Plastic will not break
down because it is a man-made,
synthetic material that microor
ganisms and the environment can
not naturally decompose.
Biodegradable plastic differs only
in that manufacturers mix natural
polymers like cornstarch with the
plastic. This ensures that the
cornstarch bonds will naturally
break down resulting in the left

this forces plastic to be dispersed
in small pieces, but plastic will not

Tom Kaufman and Jean Anne Anderson
Jean Anne Anderson
"I just fell in love with the place
and the people," Miss Anderson,
the new director of food service,
remarked about Saint Mary's as
she ran to make a waffle for a
student entering the cafeteria.
Miss Anderson has a degree in
home economics from UNC-
Greensboro. She worked with
food service the four years she
was in college, and she also
worked as a caterer and a wait
ress. She worked as assistant
food service director here after
college and later took a post at
Ravenscroft for two years. She
grabbed the opportunity to be di
rector of food service at Saint
Mary's.
Miss Anderson's hobbies in
clude photography, crafts (she
made the cracker baskets in the
cafeteria), arranging flowers, and
reading mystery novels.
She declares, "Each day is
different and brings a new chal
lenge, new faces, and new
menus."
Tom Kaufman
"The staff is really easy to work
with." This is what the new assis
tant director of food service, Tom
Kaufman, enjoys most about his
job.
Mr. Kaufman enjoys working
with people and has worked in
restaurants since the age of six
teen. He is a 1989 graduate of
Florida State University's School
of Hotel and Restaurant Man
agement.
Mr. Kaufman also enjoys other
activities in addition to working in
the cafeteria. He likes to water ski,
sail, surf, and take care of his cat.
Saint Mary's
Sweaty Side
By Suzanne Quebedeaux
Some Saint Mary's girls have
been sweating from more than
just studying. With the arrival of
fall came the sports scene of
Saint Mary's. The volleyball team,
consisting of Sarah Coleman,
Stacy Dolan, Chrissy Griffin, Julie
Hamilton, Julie-Anne Holland,
Nancy Leach, Tudi Martin,
Heather Walker and Polly Year-
gan has been hard at work this
fall practicing and playing. Man
aged by Michelle Cress and Lisa
Elliott, the team has had some
fierce competition from its more
seasoned opponents. The volley
ball team did not exist last year,
but despite the lack of experience
from last year. Coach Alexander
thought her team had "real
potential to make things happen."
Whoosh! Swish! Buzz!
Sounds like basketball? You
are most definitely right. Scotty
Roof, coordinator of the
basketball team, designated
October 23 as the first practice
date. A lot of interest has been
generated and lack of players
should not be a problem. Last
year's members interested in
returning to the team are Julie
Lynn, Molly Hull, and Holli Donell.
The list of girls interested in
playing indicates there should be
a mixture of both boarders and
Day students on the team. Saint
Mary's opponents are scheduled
to be Cardinal Gibbons,
Ravenscroft, Durham Academy
and Salem Academy. Their first
game will be November 20 at
5:00 against Greensboro Day in
the Saint Mary's gym.
