He was free to rest from the cares and concerns of lecturing teachers and to buckle down to deep, concentrated inner thoughts. Naturally, during this time, there were occasional whispers as annual layouts and copies, next month’s newspaper, and geometry were discussed. There were also occasional basket- ball games at the trash can as students discovered their thinking wasn't quite along the line of the teachers' thoughts. Here imagination had the material and opportunity to run wild and burst from its container, better known as the mind.
