Council Corner By Jerry Robertson Your Student Council would like to announce that a public telephone cannot be placed outside the girls’ gym or outside the stadium gates. It was decided that the telephone would not be used enough to be profitable for the telephone company. The company is also considering removing he telephone from the boys’ gym because it is not being used enough. There have been several complaints about the condition of the sidewalks on rainy days. Your council hopes that these can be fixed in the near future. College Day, October 21 and 22, is a day in which students can learn niuch about colleges and their requirements. Your council would like to remind each student of this fact and urge you to take advantage of the opportunity.
