Our Sunday journeys to Wesley Chapel Service Remember the handy, keep-all. sell-all college store, the Y Annex: Oatmeal cookie, please! Wili you want to remember our agony in trying to come out tip-top in our exams? Remember the Festival of Nations, the all- school banquet with a dance afterward: could Max Meeks be surpassed with his English accent?
