Show What Has Happened To Local Rivalry? Dear Editor, The question has once again come up concerning cross town rivalry. "What has happened hap-pened to the good old-fashioned old-fashioned rivals we used to have between schools?" BOUNTIFUL High sends Viewmont flowers and in return re-turn gets egged. Thursday morning before the game, students from Bountiful High were clever enough to send Viewmont a funeral wreath with good humor intended pertaining to Bountiful's (hopeful) victory that day. NUMEROUS students from Bountiful High faced static caused by Viewmont students. That afternoon, the Bountiful team bus rolled into Viewmont , High's parking lot and were greeted with eggs. At the game's halftime the Viewmont Vikets presented a well done performance. Afterwards, After-wards, Bountiful High's studentbody followed by Viewmont High's Studentbody formed greeting lines for the two teams. AS BHS cheered their team on to a hopeful victory, students from VHS egged the Bountiful line, destroying the enthusiam and excitement of the game for Bountiful. Bountiful High is not perfect nor is Viewmont High. The rivalry will hopefully always be there. As stated two years ago in a letter written to the Clipper by Miss Trilby Fox (now a senior at VHS) "...What has happened to the good old-fashioned rivals we used to have between schools?" WHAT exactly is 'old-fashioned' 'old-fashioned' rivalry? In ourop-nion, ourop-nion, Bountiful High's action last Thursday examplified it well . . . with no violence or physical damage. All was done in fun and good taste. We hope that the individuals who read this column will realize that all high schools are no different when it comes to cross town rivalry. IN THE past, .VHS has been put on a pedastal in Bountiful City, which is wrong. Bountiful Boun-tiful High and Viewmont High are too much alike in rival actions ac-tions for either to point a condemning con-demning finger. signed, CTR Rob Schmidt Tammy Jensen Chris Barrus |
