Learnto Live ... The part that we will play in the world of tomorrow is being created when we decide what direction we will take after high school. Whether we make right or wrong decisions, however, we must learn to live with them. Miss Linda Rozzi — math ‘‘No, math is not a foreign language.” Mrs. Rose Rubino — secretary “Interesting, varied job.” Miss Maria Santos — language Mr. John Sawyer — English ‘Education is the basis for toler- ance and peace.” Mrs. June Schoppe — art ‘An artist’s work is of himself in the same way that a man is the sum of his experiences. To view a work of art is to look into the art- ist’s soul, to share an ageless, spiritual intimacy with him. To appreciate his work requires only that one acknowledge his right as an individual to express an opinion.” Mr. Jerome Shea — science “In the world of life, success is measured by survival. The fail- ures can only be fossils. The sur- vival is never of individuals — only of. life itself. Individuals re- produce and are replaced by an- other generation. In the course of time, even types of organisms change. Continuity of life, then, is a reflection of reproduction and evolution.” -— Biological Science: An Inquiry Into Life
