You the VOLUME W, Wale just print it News (OGDEN, UTAH, 11 WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1963 NUMBER 2 NICK, DICK, & DOUG EARNING FAME TRIO ENTERTAINES AT COCONUT GROVE Sx “Nick, Dick and Doug” may still lack an official title for themselves as a group, but Nick Kotok, Dick Brown, and Doug Proudfit have certainly earned fame for their individual names. Not only have they entertained Ben Lomond students; the -, — Kingston Trio and the Los An- | geles equivalent of debutantes also number among their growing audiences. Since the trio’s first appearance at a B. L. assembly two years ago, their presence has come to assure success for nearly every school event at which they supply songs and their own string accompaniment. Doug manages to commute from Ogden H. S. for such occasions, — while Nick and Dick remain here. _ Recently, Nick, Dick and Doug met the popular Kingston 5° ‘Trio. Backstage at Lagoon, they SCOTS EXPRESS OPINIONS ON B.L. HONOR Does the necessary initiative exist at Ben Lomond for a new to society, honor an clan, achieve success? Dr. Drechsel has agreed to consider the idea of forming a chapter of the National Honor Society here; many teachers have promised support. Some members of the student body have offered the following opinions: Dave Bott: If the kids would back an honor society, it would really help Ben Lomond. Tammy Quick: This summer I talked to many students from other states, and they repeatedly told me how valuable and sucessful the honor societies in their schools had become. The Scots not only have the initiative but the determination to form such a society. I hope the Scots won’t let me down on my convictions! Scott Jones: The kids who have athletic abiilty receive a lot of publicity; those who get good grades deserve some, too. Connie Furniss: Eastern students seem to have a sharper awareness than Westerners of the importance of high school education—an awareness partly instilled in them by the competitive honor society. Some even feel more pride in their academic letters than in their athletic ones because of this awareness. Ben Lomond needs more of this feeling. For this reason, I would discussed On September 11, Ben Lomond’s student body enrollment had reached a total of 1608. SOCIETY fully support an honor society. Richard Emmert: We have a large number of potential honor students, and the honor society would give them some incentive to work harder. The exclusiveness of the honor society would also add to the desire to become a member. Kathy Morrin: If a person can keep high standards for himself, recognition should come for his achievement. Kelly Sparrow: Athletes at B. L. have their letters, but good students haven’t these or any other rewards for their efforts. An honor society would provide this academic stimulus. Teresa Rivera: I believe that an honor society would create an atmosphere of challenge among the student body. It would resemble a separate team of the school. On this team, everyone would know and play his position well or would leave the team. Dave Sweitzer: I’ve recently come into contact with kids.who have an honor society at their school, and they seem to think it quite a fabulous organization. In my ouinion, it would offer scholastic recognition to students at B. L.—recognition which they now lack. Rosanne Smith: I think Ben Lomond really needs something like. this. I have my office, which makes me work harder. But other students lack motivation which an honor society would provide. — Branca Views Gives on U.S. Branca Gradvohl, Ben Lomond’s foreign exchange student, has joined the Scots this year to complete her high school education. Branca comes from a family of seven at home in Brazil. She likes to consider her new family as her own. She enjoys the American way of life very much and expressed that “‘it continues every day with more intensity.” Branca lives in the city of Fortaliza, in the State of Peara’. When asked how our way of dressing differed from theirs she answered, “Of course I like it; they are very similar to Brazilian way of dressing. But most of our clothes are summer clothes because we have summer all year over.” She expressed her feelings for Ben Lomond and the United States. “I always have a very good idea about the U. S. A. and this idea continues every day. Because the people are like I used to imagine; always ready to help me on all occasions and the principals; they are very nice to me. This is a great country. music during breaks ¢ in the show. Later, in the Trio’s motel room, the boys’ ability Ben Lomond Seniors Participate in "U' High School Days impressed the widely known entertainers, who offered helpful advice. Perhaps this advice aided Nick, Dick and Doug during their Los Angeles stay. Arranged by Doug’s cousin, who incidentally plays the bass for Les Brown’s and other bands, the group’s performance at an elaborate birthday party in the hall of the Coconut Grove seemingly inspired the expense-paid trip to California. A night spent on a swanky yacht preceded an evening of performing in the Whittinghall restaurant. Finally, Nick, Dick, and Doug had the good fortune to record the sounds of their voices and instruments, plus the bass of Doug’s cousin, in a private studio. Six microphones, a stereo setting, and the trio’s own talent produced an_ excellent tape. The recorder send it on to record studio. iniends Liberty io (RCA) SCOT SHORTS The Senior Class held a fundraising car wash Saturday, September 7.
