Foreword With 1970, a new decade begins. Classical High School experiences an awakening to a new era. This sense of awakening is touching the students, the fac- ulty, and the community. Through closer student-teacher relationships, the students are given more responsibility in selecting and participating in relevant curricula and school policy. With this new responsibility comes respect for individuality evident in the independent shades of student thought. At Classical, school spirit is being generated by more student involvement. In this liberal atmosphere, the student de-’ velops perspective into his future. From student awareness of the social problems of the community such courses as ‘“Black Studies” and “Man and his Environment”’ were initiated in the school cur- riculum. With this new background, the student will transfer his knowledge to the world around him. The 1970 edition of the Blue and White therefore has attempted to depict the many aspects of awakening to the responsibility of the seventies at Classical High School.
