You've got to love this Headmistress:

> > Every night the maintenance man would remove them and the next day the girls would put them back.

> > Finally the Headmistress decided that something had to be done.


> > She called all the girls to the bathroom and met them there with the maintenance man.

> > She explained that all these lip prints were causing a major problem for the custodian who had to clean the mirrors every night



(you can just imagine the yawns from the little 'Princesses').

To demonstrate how difficult it had been to clean the mirrors, she asked the maintenance man to show the girls how much effort was required.


> > He took out a long-handled squeegee, dipped it in the toilet, and cleaned the mirror with it.

> > Since then, there have been no lip prints on the mirror.
