Gathering it up Capacity to gather information increases with age (continued from page 13) Gathered information was also a necessity in non-academic subjects. Band members had to learn to produce sounds from the twisted pieces of brass before learning and performing songs. Choir members had to learn to sing a scale before harmonizing for the “Hallelujah Chorus.” Before paintings and sculptures became paintings and sculptures, the artist was required to learn the basic idea of the color wheel and the general texture of clay. After grasping the concepts, he could proceed to create his masterpiece. The home economics student must acquire an understanding of machine parts before delving into a new homemade wardrobe. Nothing can be accomplished, however, until material and thread are purchased. The fastest typist in the business department would still be hunting and pecking had they not learned that the index fingers should be placed on the and g keys. Once the home row and positions are memorized, typists can proceed to obtain maximum speeds. The final reward for gathering all this information comes in June, when graduates are presented with diplomas. The slip of paper would be unobtainable, however, if the first step to knowledge-gathering the information- had not been completed. ASDFJKL: The first step in typing is learning the home row. Senior Joe Maglish gathers information necessary in pumping out more words per minute. Joe ' s hat is credited to Homecoming activities. 14
