Two heads are better than one in figuring out physics problems “In all sciences that are concerned with principles or causes or elements, it is acquaintance with these that constitutes knowledge or understanding. For we conceive ourselves to know about a thing when we are acquainted with its ultimate causes and first prin¬ ciples and have got down to its elements.” —Aristotle Each individual lives, but often has no passable understanding of why life, or how. It is then that the need for biological study is most evident, as well as more advanced work. The first biology course is pre¬ pared to meet this need, but it is only a beginning in an endless quest for understanding. It is here the inquisitive are afforded the opportunity to better their comprehension of Nature’s actions and principles. While Biology II tells more of the intricacies of life, chemistry, physics and other courses focus not on life but life’s environment. I didn’t sign up for Biology II 29

Art: A Pure Means of Expression Miss Wilma King Mrs. Rita Scott Garinger’s department of art is not meant to pro¬ vide professional training or professional work. Instead it is established for the needs of the teenager, opening up for him a wide, versatile field of expression. The means to unfold his ideas lie here, limited only by the individual. The progressive art pupil finds his tools to be his slaves, not his master. The paints, the chalks, crayons, and the inks; all provide the earnest student with a wide potential of possibilities. His direction is plotted by his imagination; his grade found in his progress, not in his art ability. A world of expression opportunities — still, only a minority seem to be in earnest. Mike Fowler listens to advice. 30
