VOLUME 14 OGDEN, UTAH, WEDNESDAY, NUMBER 2 OCTOBER 5, 1966 SCOTS READY; VIE TONIGHT This year’s Scottie team (above) has won four Region One At 7:30 tonight, the gridiron battle of the year will begin when the fighting Scots of Ben Lomond clash with Ogden’s Tigers for the coveted Iron Horse trophy. Ogden stadium should be packed as the red-and-gray clad Scotties fight to keep the Iron Horse they won a year ago. This clash, the fourteenth meeting of the two cross - city rivals, must be rated a toss-up. Both schools show unusually strong power this year, and their undefeated records prove it. The Tigers, under head coach Wilf Christiansen, are using their standard single-wing offense, which gives them a good advantage on power plays. The key to the O. H. S. offense lies in a big, powerful line and in tailback Larry Cole. In previous games, Cole has torn the opposing defenses to ribbons with his hard, slashing runs, and he can pass, too.. If Ben Lomond is to bring home victory, it must stop Cole. Ben Lomond, on the other hand, carries a well-balanced attack with no superstars. Using a new “combination” offense developed by Coach Allen Kap, the Scots have combined power and speed to form a strongly balanced running and passing game. Quarterbacks Rick Younger and Larry MacDonald show fine potential as passers, while Lanny Rasmussen and Art Suekawa anchor the running attack. Coach Dawson’s defense is especially strong, with co-captains Doug Kump and Jim Slater leading the pack. Kump is also a talented kicking specialist. contests. CLANS ORGANIZED, OFFICES FILLED The Interclan officers are really planning to go places with the Ben Lomond clans this year. They are currently planning a new “Spirit Week.” This will get all of the clans rolling so that this can be the best year yet for al clans of B.L.H.S. After the Interclan meeting for the organization of the clans, individual meetings will be held for each separate clan to elect officers and plan future activities. There will be fun and interesting activities to entice all interests in life. If you have a special interest and would like to organize your own clan, submit your request to any one of the officers of the Interclan Federation. The matter will then be discussed in their next meeting. A few clans are already under way. Dance Clan was organized and officers elected. The president for this year is Gary Nicholas. He is capable of developing one of the best dance clans Ben Finally, the Scotties show good depth with a wealth of talented sophomores and juniors ready to back up the first string.

This year the officers have planned at least five parties and even more ski trips than parties. This year in Ski Clan a constitution is to be adopted as a guide line for the clan officers. This will prevent the Ski Clan in future years from being “snowed under.” The Debate Clan has also been working to organize a schedule for the coming year. President Brent Glismeyer, Vice President Randy Dryer, and Secretary Connie Stowe will work with faculty advisor Mike Monson.

Lead Honor Society Scottish scholars are once again planning a full year as the Brigadoon Chapter of the National Honor Society gets under way. At a meeting of the society held last Thursday night, President Doug McAllister outlined the year’s activities and encouraged the support of all members. The Honor Society, McAllister explained, is a service organization. Its duties for the coming year will be to promote school spirit and to help fellow students through service projects and other activities. The society has already been responsible for distributing the myriads of victory tags which flood Ben Lomond’s halls every game day. This is a worthwhile project which has greatly boosted school spirit. Next month, the society will hold an induction ceremony for new members. A student can join the Honor Society by filling out an application or by being nominated by his home room teacher. To be eligible, a student must have a 3.5 grade average. President Doug McAllister’s fellow officers are Jean Curtis, vice president; Diane Yorgason, secretary; and Camille Jones, historian. Miss Bertagnolli is the faculty advisor. Meetings this year will be held twice monthly.

Parents should realize the importance of knowing what their children are doing in school. He pointed out, however, that the Parent-Teacher Association will not attempt to dominate student activities. On a reorganized basis this year the Ben Lomond High School PTA will be a part of an organization of secondary schools only. This improvement will provide more attention to the problems of teenage students. Leif speaks eight languages at the present.

Although the range is being used by the rifle team, who are skilled shooters, no other untrained shooters will be allowed on the range. To correct the problem, the school is having a plywood ceiling erected to stop stray bullets. “Difficult to understand,” Superintendent T. O. Smith said, “is why they should suddenly become so dangerous when they have been approved for years without question.” ———— Cal
