What do we learn class otter closs, day after day? Is it all facts and figures or reasons and results? No, in class we also acquire a spirit of cooperation and a feeling of give and take which is the very essence of education in a democracy. We discover that by contributing to the group discussion others will profit from our ideas and opinions, and we in turn will benefit from theirs. By having our mistakes and misconcep- tions called to our attention in class we learn more rapidly. Friendli- ness and encouragement on our port help those who hove difficulty in conveying their thoughts aloud before a group to conquer their fear. Thot friendly cooperation is oll-importont in cultivating the school spirit that has flourished so well this year. Not only does the school influence the stu- dents, but also the students contribute their individual personalities to mold the school. Classes also encourage us to take the initiative and learn on our own, for we get out of anything what we put into it. Students from all ports of the city and from widely varying environments have worked together to give Walnut Hills its outstanding academic reputation. 24
