But you know now that I think on it a bit, l do believe we were iust o bit too helpful. Why Those freshmen kept coming in unending numbers, fright- fully like an invasion by the all-devouring locust. Now we poor upper classmen haven't a corner to call our own. Goodness, we're outnumbered five to one.
