				| 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.
