Doing our thing with responsibility. When we entered school so many years ago, we were there to learn something. We first drew pictures of what we did last sum- rnerf' We discovered as we progressed from grade to grade through elementary school that we were learning and preparing our- selves for the future although the picture was a little fuzzy. We were told to be in- dividuals, and vet we were told to get along with others - two contrasting modes ol' behavior. We have now reached the point where this contradiction is beginning to make sense. Doing your thing gives us great freedom and vet also places great responsibilities upon us. We. at Bradnon, through our classes, have learned the basics of these responsibilities. The activities we have par- ticipated in afford us a practical proving ground.
