except one are high-pressure outlets that is they are connected to a high-pressure water main the low-pressure hy drant is located in front of the chapel it is the oldest plug hooked up with the city's water system and is a run-off of the low-pres sure main which lies along packer avenue this main has only a pressure of from 35 to 65 pounds which is con sidered inadequate for good fire protection this water line comes from the reservoir at st luke's hospital and supplies the region south of packer avenue and above the river during the war when the city of bethlehem grew by leaps and bounds a new reservoir was urgent so the one on top of south mountain was opened higher than campus the height of the reservoir is considerably higher than any point on the campus and therefore the

all typed and classified and would seem to offer a good solution to the drama society's problem but both girls schools have re strictions that prevent their mem bers from appearing with mustard and cheese and that is why an advertise ment headed girls has been ap pearing nightly on the theatre page of the bethlehem globe-times requests campus groups to make decorations dorm section tunes up for
