THURSDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1969 HIGHLANDER VOICE Dear Skip Read, In reference to your letter attempting to blemish and scandalize members of the Ben Lomond football team. We find it either a personal issue that you are attempting to project or a form of ignorance on your part. It is without a doubt the most unfounded as well as prejudiced feeling one could project against his school and fellow class members, without realiizng his record is no better than those he is attempting to incriminate. For your information, after the game Friday with Roy, some of the members of the football team had a party. We started our party by listening to Johnny Cash and Glen Campbell albums. The party started getting pretty dull, so some of us went to the store and bought a case and a half of Seven-Up, Coke, Orange Crush, and various other soft drinks. To add a little more life to our party, we read Post, Look and Time magazines. We also had cake, cookies, and ice cream. If you think this was a little too much for us to handle, we will, next time with your permission, just have milk and cookies. Signed, Members of the Football Team. P.S.: For more information contact Mr. and Mrs. Wilford and Faye Little, 1520 Childs Ave. whic “was guaranteed in the constitution, the freedom of the press. Professional newspapers free, but school newspapers forced to be controlled by school administration. They can seldom article, ab are are the print a conan _ article hich makes a newspaper more oe facrocne. They are not allowed to write about decisions of the administration which they believe to be wrong. They may print book reviews, interviews, or jokes. But no reader likes his school newspaper. Those papers do ce fulfill their purpose to inform the reader of every point of view, of every event which happened in his school and even outside. Your school paper is not controlled. You have an advisor and this is what he is, an advisor, not a dictator. If there is any doubt about an article, ask him. You already have what newspapers in Germany and several in the United States are fighting for. Be proud of it and protect it against every attempt of one side to control it. Signed, Gunda Tietjen Dear Editor, I really hope you print this, and that everyone in the school reads it. Because if it does the job it was meant to do, some people may stop and think. Not too long ago was the first day of school. Everyone was standing around in their own NIK NAK SHAK POSTERS and BLACKLIGHTS 2484 Washington Blvd. little groups of friends (or maybe I should say little cliques) anxiously awaiting that first bell, and the beginning of all the school activities. They‘re really lucky aren’t they? Being so sure of themselves, and everything that happens around them. But there are others who are not so sure. The idea of the first day of school scares them to death. They feel they will never be accepted and with that thought in their minds, they can’t talk to people, feeling that the person really doesn’t want him to talk to them, and therefore, eventually they are not accepted. Because when a person is scared he can give the picture of being stuck up. (How far from the truth can you get?). We expect them to change, but we don’t help them much. Give them a chance. They want your friendship. They just don’t want it pushed on them. (Take it slow and easy). You're pretty great kids, but everyone needs some help sometimes. Signed, Kathy Sinnett Dear Editor, Everyone is complaining about the school spirit and football team, so I’m going to be different. Our school looks like a firstclass dump! This school has so much spirit 0 look worse OF THE SCOTS rallies we have spirit that could outshow any others. But now it’s about time we had some pride. People go by our school and see trash consisting of beer bottles, pop cans, cigarette wrappers, and whatever else is there, laying on our lawn and in our parking lots. Can’t we do something about it? It seems to me the students of Ben Lomond could care less about this school, about our team, or about any other activities we might have. Ben Lomond needs pride. We might be on a losing streak, as one of the faculty members stated, but we should stand and say that they’re trying their best, which they are. I have been told that sometimes losing builds Our parking lot is something else. Have you ever walked out and looked to see beer bottles, cans, caps, papers (including the Highlander), cigarette butts, etc.! Come on, Ben Lomond. GREAT Scots! Shape up, blow your nose on filth, and walk those extra 10 steps to a garbage can. Carma Dabel, Associate Editor. Dear Editor, To the students of Ben Lomond: It’s about time we all stopped and looked around to see what kind of a school we have. In our pep assemblies and pep something. of the students of Ben High School, I am this school and would it no matter where effort of the student body. It’s not really hard if everyone does his part. This doesn’t mean that everyone has to go on an allout campaign to pick up every piece of trash he sees. A program like this would be great but wouldn’t it be better not to have the litter in the first place. If each person just took care of his own litter. Isn’t it time the rest of us had a little pride in our great school? Anonymous. Editor’s notes: Litter around the school is a major problem at the school. Executive Council did a good job of cleaning it and they are to be commended for it. Howere, this isn’t a job for the Executive Council. We didn’t elect them to collect garbage. We can try, with a little help from our friends.
