We Learn Not for School but for Life ig , Life isn't all fun. as Dick Clark has discovered. From what we've told him, he should know that working with 0ne's mind can be fun, but there are exceptions to every rule. Here we see Dick attempting to do a little of his Latin. which wasn't very tempting to him at the moment this picture was taken. However, Dick later found that with repetition comes under- standing and with understanding comes enjoyment. One way of preparing for life is to work together as a team and have fun doing it. On this particular day things were switched around a hit. The gals played the footltall while the guys led the cheers. Why the switch? ln the need of money to buy uniforms. the cheerleaders decided to sell tickets lo anyone who cared to see the junior varsity cheerleaders chal- lenge the varsity cheerleaders in a fun-filled foothall ganne. What a game! The score was tied - zero to zero. 7

XX - Non Scholae sed Vitae Discimusn . . . The old medieval proverb used here as the title clearly points out the reason for which we study. We don't learn languages and mathematics just for the sake of earning a report card grade, but to prepare ourselves to go out into the world with a thorough understanding of our purpose in life. Here we attempt to discover what that purpose will be. We learn for life through both work and play. We discover that it is fun working with our minds to solve problems large and small. By experience we learn what should and should not be done, and by repetition We learn the basic fundamentals of life. Life is not and should not be all work. Through both work and play we are able to become well-rounded individuals. By participating in sports and club activi- ties we learn to enjoy working with others. Participating in these activities, we begin to realize that it is more important to have .good sportsmanship rather than a consistently winning team. Many activities are formed solely for enjoyment and thus are enjoyed by nearly everyone. The next time we receive our grades, let's ask our- selves whether up until now we have prepared for school rather than life.

As the Leaves Pile Up. . . i Again the autumn season rolls around leaving the trees bare, but by no m'eans does it leave the ground bare. Whatever is in the trees including many branches, a few birds nests, and invariably that old tennis shoe you lost last summer is found somewhere on the lawn. After everything is neatly settled on the ground, someone has to clean them up, and it's usually you. Soon the smell of leaves burning fills the air and tempts us from our other work to get out and shuffle through the leaves and perhaps even resort to raking them up. Coming in with a burst of color, autumn leaves behind its remnants of a gay summer. It's hard to tell what these three are up to. It seems that they are trying to decide whether it's wise to go home or not because of all the yard work that lies there waiting for them. However, Beth Koenig decides it's better to get it over with. Bob Bihler and Bill Stephenson also seem to agree. Later we may have found them lost in their efforts to clear up the piles of lieaves.
