A school needs to be organized to acquire maximum# efficiency. And a basic source of that needed organization is the Student Council. The council can and should§ be the most important and effective organization in the the council should be held every week, under strict ruling from the school constitution. If the council does meet every week it can iron out little problems in the school before they become large ones. Many students do not know that a lack of com- cause is often the munication harsh and of problems feelings among the studentbody. If the council is larly held though, and fully attended, students will a place to express their ideas, plans, and even their plaints.

The Highlander urged such a move in its final issue last year, saying the plaque should be placed in some conspicuous place instead of in the auditorium as earlier suggested. : The plaque is strikingly beautiful and above all, it symbolizes the fighting spirit of the Stewart Clan. It + should ~ get remind every student at Ben Lomond that they of “the friendly fighting Scots” and not to for- it. Ben Lomond is fortunate indeed that it follows a Scottish theme because this allows the various classes to select projects such as this plaque which are not only beautiful but which contain a traditional Scottish originality which other schools cannot possibly enjoy. Once again, may we praise the “powers to be” on the location for the plaque. We hope that it will instill - e os ao best. of every Scot the desire to make his school HERE'S TO YA Greetings to all the new Scots who didn’t have any other choice than to go to Ben Lomond, and to all the four-year men who just couldn’t part from our dear ole school. Whichever you are, the HIGHLANDER welcomes Brazil. The pert, darkmiss will be a sister to Louise Bybee, a junior at Ben Lomond. Branca comes from a family of two brothers and two sisters. Her father is director of an exportation firm in Fortaleza. Branca says her ambition is to become a doctor because “it is a deeply humanitarian career which I greatly admire and because my Grandfather was a doctor. I shall be proud to continue serving the same ideals; serving humanity by alleviating its sufferings.” ca| cialy enjoys and listening playing th records. BOOK Ben Lomond’s leaders and EVEN the office personnel are enthused about the year’s coming events. Meetings and planning activities have taken up a large amount of time this summer to make this year one that we will all remember. Only one minor problem exists— will the students participate in these activities? If not, they can always be cancelled. Thus, losing all the fun, excitement, and memories of their high school years.
