times, but not so seriously. Perhups we

Milne. Qur safeteria, through no fault
of ours, happens to be in the colloge
buildings. We must reach it somehow. Up
to this time 4t has been cur custom to

reach there inside the building. However,
in order to do this wo must go down the
boys* locker room stuirs, through the
hallway, up the stairs in front of Page
Hull und down the other side. From there
we must go through the girls' locker
room, up the stairs to Richurdson Hall,
through more halls, and finally down the
stairs to the c.fetoria. All this ine
