Notorious ring operates in maine west cafeteria

Would you recognize yourself if we had a rogues' gallery at Maine West and the following notice was posted:

WANTED

Notorious ring operating in cafeteria. Ring-leader known as Spilly Willy. Shares his food with the lunch tables and the floor. Members include: Allergic Al who, at a tender age, was frightened by a garbage can and now makes it a point to keep at a safe distance at all times. His trail is shrewn with empty milk cartons, pulverized paper bags, and gnawed apple cores. Magnetic Minnie who finds the silverware irresistible. Destructive Dan who uses the utensils as an outlet for his daily frustrations. Regal Reggie who believes all the cafeteria attendants are galley slaves hired to swab the decks and tidy up after him.
Of course, none of think of ourselves as such desperadoes, but the exaggeration does point up the need for more cooperation by students in the cafeteria. We all can help by adopting improved clean-up habits and by taking better care of school property. The cafeteria is there for our benefit, but cooperation begets better service (and food). No one promises pheasant under glass or cherries jubilee as a daily diet, but it is true that the less we spend on carelessness, the more money we can divert to better cuisine.
