Like a magnet, about 8 o ' clock every weekday, a 70-acre plot in the country draws 16 buses, about 375 cars — and, most important, over 1200 people COM- ING TOGETHER for a common pur- pose. To this area comes a wide variety of people with 1200 separate combinations of goals, problems, and interests. From about 1,000 homes, both town and country, they represent different religions, family back- grounds and economic classes. This mix is the key that unlocks the door to expose new and different ideas, conclu- sions, and solutions. This variety, coming together, determines better conclusions in classes, ideas for extra-curricular projects, and often strange but lasting friendships. The variety, the interests, and the char- acter that make Blackford what it is would not be possible without that daily mixture which results from people COMING TO- GETHER. Opening, 3
