The BFD has broken out in numerous blemishes which even Stride couldn’t cover up. At times BFD seemed like the pillar of succes, but at other times it was kicked down and dragged through the gutter.

He’s got a 3.7 grade point oo and really works to get it. Howard was on the Cross Country team and is now in debate. His favorite pastimes are skiing, hunting, and watching television. If Howard could change Ben Lomond he would do so by giving more time for each period and even longer for chemistry. After he graduates he wants to continue with school and study Social Sciences with a major in Law. Howard wishes more students would get involved in the activities around B.L. He mentions, “Everybody gripes that nothing happens to get involved in but nobody goes to what it offers.” He also states, ‘“Everybody’s ready to criticize, but nobody’s willing to do anything.” But Howard likes Ben Lomond because the kids are friendly in the school, the programs are better, and ‘the students all will soon have something to learn. Yes, we no longer have BFD within our hallowed halls. So, this Christmas when you go under the tree to get all your goodies, think of the family that your former BFD’ers deprived of an official BFD box.

Mrs. Saunders’ interests are golf, snow-mobiling, and she would like to learn how to ski some day if she ever gets brave enough. Some day she would like to travel all over the world. Mrs. Saunders thinks the Media Center is “fantastic” compared to Ogden High’s. “There is one thing wrong with the library,” she said. “It’s the image we have. Everybody hates the Media Center because of admits. They are not our idea; they are one of the rules of the administration that we have to follow, and the end result is that Mrs. Squires and I end up policing the area. We have better things to do.” When asked what she thought of the students in relation to the library, Mrs. Saunders said, “The students take good advantage of the library. I usually see the same faces all the time. I’m amazed how kids learn as much with the music going all the time.” When asked if she had any comments her reply was, “I think kids around here get settled too early. They should get out, learn, and get more experience.” 3 LET THERE BE LOVE No BFD to You Do Have An Alternative ANN I find myself at a loss for words as I sit to write this article. How can I, who am no better or wiser than you, tell you how to show the love that is so much a part of my kind of Christmas? TIME It seems FOR to LOVE be a common be- lief, however, that Christmas is a time for love, so we'll start from there come up If love, and with. see Christmas why and what we .Okay? is a how time did we for get into this big commercial hoax? Well, it all started very simply and beautifully. SHOWING LOVE A long time ago, a guy called God let his Son be born to a virgin chick named Mary. This son, named Jesus, was a gift from God. It was his way of showing his love for the world. Now there were these poor shepherd guys and rich wise men who wanted to show their love in return. Since they couldn’t take lambs and stuff to God in person, they gave their gifts to his son Jesus. By MIKE STUBBS KRAFT (remember him?) other was gifts, RETURN Now is the and for the forgotten. TO LOVE time to realize the condition we are in. To enjoy Christmas as more than a season during which our greed is satisfied, we must go back to the original idea. We must go back to love! This Christmas I wish you and the world joy, peace, and love. I can’t tell you how to find these gifts or who to ask for them, but that’s not important. ¥f you are open to love, it will find you. You won’t have to search for it. Be open! Have a beautiful Christmas and remember what it’s all about. Christmas is a time for love. People strive separately for love, brotherhood, peace and joy, seldom realizing that by applying the first goal, love, to our daily lives,-the other goals fall easily into place. Love is giving. By making giving a part of our lives, we gain favor in the eyes of the beneficiaries and of God. This makes for brotherhood. By practicing brotherhood, we cast out the prejudices and petty arguments that cause war or even minor disagreements. By abolishing wars, we _ create peace. Ben Lomond students, Within five days after your 18th birthday, you are, by law, required to register with the Selective . Service System, although you cannot be drafted until your 19th birthday. When you are confronted by the draft, you must realize that the law assumes that you are familiar with draft requirements, rights, penalties, and procedures. The Selective Service System exists for one purpose only, and that is to draft a large number of men each month.
