...And Working Together as One Unit With critical concentration, the artist views a future masterpiece. In the dty, in the school, and in the world, diversity makes life interesting and necessary. Our survival may depend upon an increasing knowledge in the field of medicine, or perhaps upon a unified world through diplomacy. Some in our world will lead—others will follow, but everyone has a place in the pattern of existence... so many worlds to discover and so many secrets to disclose. An industrious worker combines creativity, determination, and for successful production and, most important, self-satisfaction.

...Of People Living City people are industrious. They live and work together. The members of a school must also live, work and function together as one unit. A school is a city on a small scale. It is work, pleasure, entertainment, production, effort, patience and it represents a purpose. Because students in a school are preparing for life in the modern complex world of today and tomorrow, they must first face life on a smaller scale. People in society must intertwine. They must depend upon each other. Some of us will encounter the world of test tubes and microscopes; others will take a giant step into the business world of Wall Street or Madison Avenue; still others will become housewives and mothers. Some will fulfill the need for laborers, mechanics, technicians, and engineers, and some will enter specialized fields as artists, musicians, or dramatists. School presents to us the environment to meet our goals and society challenges us with new goals. Maintaining perfect running order is necessary even in school. One of the enjoyable parts of being a future homemaker is sampling the products of your labor. 4

The tension and excitement of intramural team competition rivals that of any championship play-off game of the varsity teams. ...Enriching the Future Excitement and happiness fill our school years— the excitement and happiness that only adolescence knows. In future years, midst the hustle and bustle of time, we recall memories of proms, games, dillies, and such, maybe with heavy hearts. Our positions may not enable us to return to those moments but the realization of the present will enable us to enjoy them again and again. Memories of the people we come in contact with may remain with us or may be quickly dissolved from our minds, but the associations we experience will enable us to prepare for the many contacts we will make as we grow and mature as adults and as mem- bers of the cities in which we establish our roots. We may come together as total strangers but when we step away we are as one. Probably our ideas will have changed and perhaps our lives will have been enriched... we will have helped our universal city grow. As a wise man once said, the people make the city.” Fear, anxiety, and tension lapse into memories of music and moonlight.
