Who school. The only drawback to this is that only the people on the main floor of the Education Building can hear the bugle, played by Lynn Sampson," Mr. McConkie said. To try to remedy this, the committee hopes to get a public address system throughout our three buildngs." Other things that the committee has doiie is the essembly on Veteran's Day.
