Some of the pupils are planning a picnic dinner today, Friday.

The faculty, surmising that the "kids" might get even with them in some way, have offered the use of their "cooking" stove to them, and they are soon to begin brewing their own coffee for dinner.  It is not state, however, whether or not they are to sit at the dining table or still keep their high backed chairs.
