The marquee in front of Cottage Grove High School (Home of the Lions) scrolls much helpful information, including SPRING SPORTS DESSERT MAY 25 IN THE CGHS CAFETORIUM, and man, it’s hard to keep one’s ironic distance, even with a word like cafetorium that begs for snark. I attended high school, naturally, but worse, I worked at one for seven years, and I continue to be grateful that I no longer have to, especially now that schools routinely have a room called the “cafetorium.” In my day, we had the multipurpose room and we were glad to have it!
