42、lty in calculating the length of OSSDElaine Yu Yee-nee, 15 Creative Secondary School Lockers are designed in a way to hide their contents for a reason. Otherwise, theyd have open fronts like cupboards. Searching students lockers would be a total invasion（侵犯）of privacy. Having a locker is more than h
