THERE IS ALWAY ROOM FOR CREATIVE GROWTH . There is always someone anxious to help you learn to express yourself,-someone to teach you to master the brush and the clay, to guide your fingers as you build from a bloclc of wood. ln the shops and art rooms we are given an opportunity to create with our hands. Most of us are eager to take advantage of this experience, and we find our- selves immeasurably enriched during these periods away from the classroom. Even in our academic subjects our perspective has broadened and expanded to meet the new challenges which tace us. In science and in social studies we learn about our country and its problems. We begin to master a foreign language and to discover new ways ot understanding other peoples. We have a form project-to depict the importance ot conservation in our country,-1 and each oi us is able to contribute his share to achieve the final goal. We have the thrill of watching an idea conceived by us grow and talce shape, and we are proud of our ability to carry through a plan successfully. We loolc around us more closely now, at our own friends and at those people whom, perhaps, we shall never lcnow personally, but who are also a part of the world in which we live. We have begun to read the newspapers more carefully, but we have not yet aban- doned the comic boolc. We are interested in other teen-agers and their problems. We like to go to dancing class, to talce a girl to the movies, to wear lipsticlc on weelc-ends, or to wallc through the parlc on a sunny afternoon. We are learning many lessons this year. The value of cooperation becomes a reality when We worlc on a group project. Our own inadequacies in the fields oi art teach us to respect those people who are slcilled in these fields. The chance for each one to express his own individualities ,- to grow other than physically. to learn other than academically ,- this too, is part of our school. ,aw
