ctivities Are A Beginning Toward In high school students begin to understand themselves and how to interrelate with other people. Students can achieve this by various means. We may become involved in activities such as sports and clubs. By joining clubs we can learn how to do things for other people. Clubs usually have fund- raising for needy causes or they set up activities to obtain money for their own benefit. All activities are learning experiences. When taking part in sports, students learn how to work as a team as well as be competitive for our own benefit. Great Valley has a wide variety of clubs and sports to join which offer diversified activities. A- mong these activities are the Ski Club ' s annual trip to Vermont and International Friendship Club ' s International Weekend where exchange students from area schools visit Great Valley. Our activities help to learn to organize our time and assume responsibility. Running a dance or a charity drive puts us in touch with the community outside the school and furthers our ability to re- late with others as we begin our adult life. 8 Introduction

Students Begin Each Day Learning Academics can be divided into two aspects - the tangible and the intangible. The tangible includes the faculty and classroom activities. Our teachers affect us in many different ways as they guide us through the subject areas that m ake up our daily schedules. Some are stimulating; others merely routine, but we learn from all of them. They are the human part of our education. Classroom activities ranging from ninth grade required courses to tenth grade World Cultures ' term papers to eleventh grade health classes to senior physics and philosophical problems are all facets of our education. All of it helps us to begin to cope with the future. For some of us it is a basis on which to build our further education while for others it is a background with which to enter the real world . The intangible part of academics is the learning process which is what goes on in the heads of students and teachers. We can not touch it or see it but it is equally important for it is the way we begin to use and develop the knowledge we receive daily as we begin to he independent. 10 Introduction
