Crowds, individuals. frenzy and serenity- Grimsley offers all A quiet walk across the tree-lined cam- pus, a rare but welcome break from the daily routine, the pageantry of a foot- ball half-time show-small everyday events are the essence of life at GHS. The normality of routine overtakes us, and yet, there is always the unexpected -from a mid-afternoon fire to a sur- prise A on a test. As the year drags on, we are often lost in piles of papers and miss the beauty of small things-the first buds of spring or a friendly smile in the midst of a sea of strange humanity. The painful loneliness of a crowd-the comfortable self-togetherness of being a- lone-a myriad of moods make up thc mass of students. Each face is a canvasg each body, an easelg each expression, an ori- ginal of worth. Often it takes a few days off-campus for one to realize the indelible stamp that Grimsley has etched on our souls. Whether we like it or not, we are a part of Grimsley, and it will forever be a part of us. 15

Befuddled minds, confused identities, and uneomplimcntary relationships-eharacteris- ties of the Math Department-perpetuate the time-honored tradition that arithmetic is difficult. Mathematics is no longer one of the three r's : such courses as General Math, geometry, algebra, trigonometry, calculus, Business Math, and Data Pro- cessing signal innovation and diversion from eonventionality. The discriminating math student need no longer be bound by a negative approach. The broad variety allows him to select a course which is proportional to his ability. By coordinating the two- course and ability-he can better divide his time among other subjects. The most common difference of opinion among math students lies in the subject's applicability. Whether such things as the Perpendieular Bisector Theorem and the Rule! Placement Postulate are ultimately relevant has been a subject of constant debate. gabjvx Many devoted algebra students question the u - practice of requiring a geometry course between Algebra I and II.
