When a heaviertype musical number is performed in an assembly at school, many students do not appreciate it; therefore, they decide to make noise and disturbance. If the students would look. for certain characteristics in a musical number or listen carefully to each passage gradually, they would begin to appreciate some of. the finer things in good music. It is the group of know any the students better enjoyment that that of don’t destroy good music for those who like that type of music. Many of the Salt Lake City high schools, in which there are students who like good music, have formed Music Appreciation “Clans.” These groups study music and listen to it so that they might appreciate it more. I think this would be a very good organization for Ben Lomond High. —Paul Nielson. Dear Editor: I find it most enjoyable to read a newspaper that has comic section in it. Would a it into the stands and saw should not have occurred at all. Teachers from all over Utah were in Salt Lake when the big headlines came forth, ‘“Ogden Students Riot After Local Football Game.” Think of the bad reputation not only good a school spirit that can’t be beat. Losing doesn’t dampen this terrific spirit. I think I can speak for the whole team in saying that we appreciate it. If only the spirit can keep up, I don’t see how we can lose. Other schools may be able to yell louder, which I think is almost impossible, but they can’t match the loyal spirit we have at Ben “Ole” selves. — ple; the about events; about ideas.” to which once told me, talk about peo- average mind talks great one minds talk Here is an idea of us might well posed I noticed the half-staffed flag the for a moment to recall that flag’s position signified the the death of Dag Another Dear Boyd: In answering your plea for humor in the Highlander, I wish to comment that if the average My next thought was, “What do other students think about this?” I was sorry to admit to idea of a good be compelled paper, we would to rename our publication.
