This, the major is however, problem facing our country and school today, the racial problem. We feel that the Negro should be given all the equal rights that a white person is given. After all, that IS what our country stands for. Violence, however, is NOT the way to obtain these rights. By violence, I mean the riots occurring accross our nation and the fights occurring right here in Ben Lomond halls. These fights DO NOT represent anything the student body officers had in mind when they picked “Loyalty” as the theme. A loyal Scot is a true Scot.

There Are Scotts and Also Scots, But What Is a Ben Lomond Scot? “One day, not long ago, as I was walking down by the Ogden River, feeling sorry for myself, I happened to look down and see a little blind girl and her mother down by the water. First we have the Scott Scot. He is a Scott because his parents named him that. He may live anywhere in the world; he may even go to Ogden High. The girl was sitting on a rock, dangling her feet in the river, and typing with a braille typewriter on her lap. be from, Scotland. He is usually a noble person of high ideals. | I overheard her say to her mother, “Mother, isn’t this a beautiful world.” And I felt ashamed of myself, and of all the people like me who let little things ruin our view of life, when this little blind girl, who had every right in the world to complain and to feel sorry for herself seemed to be able to see much more clearly the beauty of life than we, with two good eyes, can. From now on I’m going to try to look at the bright side Just what is a Ben Lomond Then Scot? there is the Scottish Scot. He must live in, or Finally there is the Ben Lomond Scot. If he is a true Scot he is a proud individual. Proud of the traditions of Ben Lomond, and anxious to uphold them. He is a loyal team supporter. He always urges his team on to victory by cheering them at the top of his lungs. He is a staunch defender of his school’s honor. knows that his school is best and he tells everyone. He He is a good student also, that is why Ben Lomond has such a high academic average. This is the Ben Lomond Scot, the best Scot in the world. of life like this blind girl did, and not camplain as much. —Ashamed. HOW TO GET MORE DONE... AND STILL HAVE TIME LEFT gy Most of us have looked up at the end of a busy day and wondered, ‘‘Where has the time gone?” It is not possible to put more time in the day, but most of us can use our time more productively to get more accomplished, according to an article in the May Reader’s Digest. SOR LO “It’s only by budgeting the hours and minutes of the day that you can have time left over for your own per- sonal use,” Lagemann writes. “One of the most effective techniques of time management is the simple one of setting a deadline.” He says that once, alone with his two sons in the country, he kept putting off the domestic chores until “the house was a mess.” “One night I bet the boys a dollar I could do the supper dishes in ten minutes. They took me up on it, and I finished just under the wire. We assigned time limits to the other daily housekeeping tasks, and found that we could keep things shipshape with no more than an hour of concentrated work.” Another technique for getting more done is to leave a job occasionally and come back to it. ‘I’ve noticed that most people who work with ideas use this device,” he says “they work on; a problem until they start losing the feel of it, then turn to something else. Later they return to the first problem with fresh interest.” Lagemann tells in the article how he uses such other techniques as “choosing a pacesetter” and “filtering out the irrelevant” to increase his own amount of daily effort. “The exciting thing is that these approaches make work a most stimulating, rewarding and satisfying part of life,” he writes. For the first time we were leaving our teen-age daughter in charge of our household and two sons, while we attended a weekend meeting. I planned menus that would be a minimum of effort and concern for her.

The first obligation a Scot can do for his class is to select the highest quality leaders possible. If a class has good leaders, it can expect a better year with more status and activity. Good leaders will increase our school activities by having more class parties Since everyone “fashion trends” as they come mini-skirts naturally go, and have been accepted by almost everyone as the trend to follow right now. All the girls are buying them and there is hardly a store in town where you won’t find at least one shipment of the new “mini-look.” They are in demand in almost every store that keeps up with the moving trends.

I think they chose Loyalty because it describes a true Scot: a true Scot in the sense that he stands up for Ben Lomond at any time; a true Scot The HIGHLANDER _Mary Hislop On our return, we found her a bit worn and harried.
