...ENCUURAGEME T FOR I DIVIDUAL 0PINIONS... Gladly wolde he lerne, and gladly techef' - Chaucer When the separate worlds of teachers and students merged each day between 8:35 and 2:35, one wondered, in an at- mosphere such as this, whether the instructor or the pupil was doing the learning or the teach- ing. Both sides will admit they had much to gain from and give to each other. Through the eight daily class periods, all subjects taught were undercurrented with en- couragement for individual op- inions and creative thinking. Many teachers believed that opening a students mind to new ideas was much more im- portant than memoiizing facts. Through a government grant Stritch received new equipment such as records, films, and pro- jectors. These aids contributed more variation than ever in class programs. Three courses introduced this year, hwnanities, consumer ec- onomics, and world affairs, were successful and will be con- tinued. The new program studies booklet showed that many new courses, such as driver,s training, drafting, and geography would be open to interested students next year.

Introduction The elements that make up an entire school year are captured by the eye and ear as each day goes by. For each individual, the events that total up to make a memory are different, yet for all they are basically the same. Everyone creates his own catalog of thoughts from the color and noise around him. The mind reacts, absorbs, and relates a sensation to sadness, happiness, or anything in between. It becomes a map of time, to be traveled- again when the wanderer stumbles upon a familiar path.
