lnevitable, accelerating change must be not only acknowledged but anticipated. The good life -yes, even sheer survival-demands a sure-footed readiness for the myriad changes foisted upon us. Moreover, we need to develop the desire and power to effect changes rather than merely be affected by them. Every change is a cause-effect evolvement from pre-existing materials, events, and ideas. Only their mode of combination is new. It behooves us all, therefore, to become surely grounded in the constants of life, the unchanging principles, so that we do not confuse change with progress, to become conversant with the phenomena of change in every field and thereby to become in marked degree masters of our fate.

lllr TAS Q E 1, .gt 1' ACADEMICS Progress is a conscious struggle for betterment through change, but conscious change is not always progress. Changes are often caused more by necessity than by the desire for improvement. Such was the case at Euclid this year, when a surplus of students forced the advent of many changes in the school framework. Crowded hallways were relieved by up and down stairways. Classes held in the E-room and team teaching eased the logistical problem of where to put students. Perhaps more absorbing than the administrative aspects of these changes were their effect on the attitudes of the students themselves. With the advent of these changes, the school deserted some of its acquired functions and became more an institution of learning. Continuing a trend that had begun some years before, the student developed a different attitude toward academics. He began to realize that school was a com- bination of intellectual and social pursuits, and that his time had to be apportioned between the two. Moreover, the stigma formerly attached to the gifted or imaginative individual by an anti-intellectual student body was removed as studying became more stylish. This change in attitude was meaningful, for it signified maturity and a more conscious approach to the future. Today's student must be pre- pared to assume and develop the wisdom of his predecessors. Into his hands the present body of knowledge is placed, slowly and carefully, by its former creators. The student will soon be the creator. What will he create? M
