and Library Provide Intellectual Stimulus Knowledge is furthered in all facets of a Clark student’s life. In academic courses, the conscientious help of the teachers awakens the individual to the wonders of knowledge. The library makes available vast stores of human thought. There, resource ma¬ terial supplements assignments. Students gather in the library during study periods and after school to complete assignments or to find books for reports or extra reading assignments. Informally, the Clarkite acquires knowledge from his companions. Throughout the entire day, students rehash assignments. Open discussion promotes bet¬ ter understanding of the subjects. In activities stu¬ dents gain information from many different fields. Total experiences of Clark life greatly aid the stu¬ dent in his search for knowledge. Students also learn outside the school.
