Our Gang Comfortable feelings characterize gang life That favorite pair of jeans, washed and worn for ages is sometimes the only pair that feels comfortable. Often the same is true for friends. Everyone has a certain group with whom he feels comfortable. A group of people to share inner feeling with, and to relax with. The gang often roams the halls together before and after school, waits in a close-knit circle for the bus for a ride and always crowds around that special table in the lunch room. Basketball games and pizza parlors are often the meeting palces for the gang. Rumors and gossip are exchanged and friends joke with each other laughing histarically and prompting curious stares and snide glances from those not in on the inside joke. Some of these comfortable groups are continually changing members and others are as unchanging and unwillingly to let new siders in as the Amish. But no matter what type of group one belongs to, large or small, he always knows he has his reserved space with his own special gang.

Steve is in advanced biology. We are not alone. There are fungi among us. In Biology 3-4 Mrs. Carmichael shows senior Mara Wright how to examine the differences between types of bacteria. Students use aseptic examining techniques. Gathering it up The first steps to knowledge taken early To read you begin with A-B-C, to sing you begin with Do-Re-Mi, and to graduate you begin with gathering knowledge. In elementary school, students were taught the basic steps to learning. First, the knowledge must be gathered, then it must be put together in some assemblence to gain the final result. Simple at first, but as we crossed the boundaries of the playground to the steps of high school, gathering knowledge became more involved. English became more than, “Run, Jane, run,” and math involved more than memorizing the multiplication tables. We were required to learn to identify participial phrases and solve for X. The information necessary for solving our dilemma was gathered through endless hours of lectures and vigorous note taking. (continued on page 14) 13
