Hi teachers,
I have a few questions. Please let me know if I made mistakes.
Thanks
1
The table tennis dream of Juliards' girls.
or
Juliard's girls' table tennis dream.

If Juliard is the name of a school, which of the titles is better?

2
Campers cannot have candy, gum, soda and other snacks so staff are asked to only partake* of* these items in the staff lounge or out of site of the campers.
Can the of be omitted or is that a typo?
3
The lockers are short so shampoo and conditioner that could be on its side might be a good idea.
How are short lockers a good idea??


Thanks for your time .

1. Both are correct, but the first title is easier to say. I'd go with the first.

2. "Partake" needs the "of." --- Partake of = eat or drink.

3. Shampoo and conditioner that can lie on their sides is what would be a good idea. They're a good idea because the lockers are short.
