Cafeteria Stampede Sa Snjured i I've got an appetite like a bird ..... a vulture! The galloping beat from the William Tell Overture couldn't have created a better musical background for the seem- ingly half-starved Dover students speeding from their classes down to the cafeteria in two seconds flat.

School was closed for two days, yet students couldn’t stay away from the grounds.

That “grand invention,” the study hall was rel- ished by students as a place to start next day’s homework. Groups of eight to fifteen signed up to go to the library for reference work, or books needed for reports.
