high school students can look forward to while walled halls this fall thanks to a colorconscious staff willing to take up a brush for a good cause it seems the county school board had hired professionals to paint lockers in the main halls dark blue and green but overlooked the faded yellow wallspace above the lockers contemplating the end result several staff members decided the color combination would be too hard to take on a monday morning and requested to have the walls painted as well unfortunately the board concluded that the extra work would mean a new contract and new tenders the entire job would no doubt be delayed so as an alternative the teachers volunteered to do the painting if the board supplied the paint all last wednesday they painted pausing briefly for a
