If it hadn’t been
                               for all those papers
                         taped to and near the door
                      —an ad for Naked Boys Singing, 
                         a poster for the Millenium 
                              March, Day of Silence 
                          flyers, friendship quotes, 
                       etc.—Room 11 would have been 
                         more inconspicuous than it 
                      already was.  A door upstairs 
                        had a bra stuffed with hair 
                      nailed to the wall next to it. 
                       Who could beat that?  In any 
                      case, it's probable that most
                     walked past Room 11 without so
                   much as a thought as to what was
                   inside.  And surely, many didn't 
                         really know.  Well, we are
                             unraveling the mystery.
                           Here it is, more or less.   
                        Among other things, Room 11 
                        witnessed a semester of the 
                     vast growth of two girls/women 
                          new to the Guilford crowd.  
                       And so, it is with much love 
                            and affection for these 
                    memories that we welcome you to 
                                take a peek at them.
