the grill ...
*The Grill at chapel time is the busiest place on the hill. Half of the student body is at
chapel and the other half is in the Grill, which is impossible. Everyone rushes for his mail.
One-way traffic was instituted again this year and several people were rushed by their boxes
as many as three times before reaching them safely.
Students gather over by the coke machine to listen to the latest word in athletics. The
freshmen femmes fatales and their following are but a little to the right with a wide gulf
of nondescript humanity separating them from the faculty members at far right, next to
the kitchen.
The aroma of Grill coffee hangs over the room, wafting its fragrance of Buggywhip No.
5 into the air.
The facuty members are all sharing one newspaper that someone bought at breakfast.
Even though the day of the 5c grilled doughnut is past forever, the patrons of second
chapel still arrive too late for anything except a few dried crullers. But, in spite of one-way
traffic and the crowded conditions, life still goes on in that undersized little building affectionately
know as-The Grill.
