Summary

The March 1956 Beaver Beacon says the State Nutritionist’s report rated the school lunches served by Florence Rolland the best in the State. This follows the February notice that Evelyn Anderson had begun a Foods Survey Program in the school.

Evidence and limits

The superlative is preserved as a reported assessment, not as a statewide comparative dataset. The article does not supply the survey method, measurements, comparison group, menus, or later evaluation.

Sources
