PAGE THE HIGHLANDER 2— Highlander Reporters Investigate New Methods at County Schools Interest has been expressed from many students at Ben Lomond concerning the county schools around them. The requests are about such things as team teaching, the seven-period day, the twenty-four module day, and slufjing. The Highlander staff has gone to various county schools and collected information relative to the subjects outlined above. In this issue we have tried to answer these questions as well as possible. We hope the students enjoy the articles and can obtain the information asked for from them, Roy High Schoo! About the Draft By JERRY and MAC KIHLSTROM MARRIOTT VOICE FRIDAY, OF THE Dear Editor, I have been hearing many people complaining about the bad attention in the assembly, also bad reports about this and that. But not much is being said about the good students. Sure we have a good share of poor students, but every school does. I think that something should be said about some of the better students. We have some very loyal Scots. At every football and basketball game you can always plan on a certain group of students to be there to support our team. They cheer down to the final buzzer. I think these students are really helping the spirit of the team. I know as a fact that the more students that come to a game, the harder the team tries. I have heard reports last year during basketball season of students from other schools saying that they wished that their schools had as much spirit. The ones that we win always say, “No wonder, with all that spirit you couldn’t have lost.” When we have lost, I have heard teachers and _ coaches from other schools say that the spirit from the students and the team of B.L. was better than theirs, and that we gave them some of the best competition they have had. They feel that it’s partly because of the spirit. You students that are out to help the school, keep it up by going to every game. If you hear kids cracking jokes in Q.
