Robert Fredrickson, history
teacher and assistant orchestra di
rector, at Senior High School,
was a part of the exchange be
tween nations last year. He re
ceived a Fulbright Grant for ex
change teaching in Israel, being
the first Amtrican to teach in

In this age of conflict, the un
derstanding of and sharing with
other peoples is an all-important
factor if we are ever to gain world
peace. Our nation has finally
awakened to that fact; therefore,
along with increased diplomacy
among nations, we have now en
acted an exchange of individuals
with these nations. This program

better understanding of the truth

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.
