Lelich and friends frolic in a winter wonderland. Students await new shipment of surfboards. The closed wall atmosphere aids the student in gain- ing new interests, and with them, new skills. He learns that it can be more enjoyable to play football than to watch. He learns that making one’s own mu- sic is more enjoyable than merely listening. He learns that he can be influenced by others, both through books and through the contacts of everyday life. In this manner, his friends become a source of constant fasci- nation and enlightenment. This keeps a closed world atmosphere from being a dull atmosphere. Cold weather doesn’t dampen students’ football enthusiasm. 20
