A locker, of course, is a repository for books, jackets, junk food, family pets, or anything else one can stuff into the space without the use of a trash compactor. There are, in addition, secondary functions for a locker: 1. They offer an excellent opportunity to exhibit one ' s creativity, imagination, and cul- tivated taste in interior decorating, or lack thereof. 2. They provide yet another flimsy excuse for being late for class. 3. They are a means of living the delight- ful experience of sharing with a friend and bringing home his paraphenalia instead of one ' s own. 4. They provide a space to store any available freshmen until they have attained a level of maturity preordained by the reigning seniors. Thus the locker experience is an essen- tial and truly rewarding aspect of one ' s edu- cation here at Roosevelt. Please remember not to take the venerable locker for granted and show appreciation for the services it renders by refraining from hanging pictures of Michael Jackson, Boy George, or Richard Nixon on its walls. 10
