Ideas Encouraged By Student Council
New Building Set For Fall Occupancy.
The Student Council, afiter talking over the good and bad points of having ,a suggestion box, decided it would be a good idea. ·we thought it would be a way to let all the boys in the school present their ideas of im'P'rovement or change. Just after Christmas, the box was put up in the waiting room in ClarkMorgan Hall, near the telephone. The suggestions that are in the box are collected every Monday aifternoon and Mrs. Hazen types them up. On Tuesday afternoons, I present them to the Student Council for discussion. So far the box has brought in many new and good -ideas. If you have any suggestions, make sure to put them in. Please sign your name. I would like to thank Wally Roberts for making and putting up the box and Mrs. Hazen for typing the suggestions. William Walkins '65
