Here We Sit LiKe Birds In the Wilderness 1977

by Debbie Northern

While waiting to get into the dining hall, there were often calls of “We need three” or some such number to get a table of 8. Since I came the first yera that Longwood was coed, I soon learned to be the first to grab the bowls or plates of food because if I was at a table with lots of guys, I would have to wait until the servers could get more. I learned the song, “Here we sit like birds in the wilderness” waiting for dhall to open.
