Far the Grand Canyon , learning calls A lbert Einstein once said, “All knowledge of reality starts from experience and ends in it.” In other words, books are only one means to an educa- tion; one must experience things for oneself. Traveling is one of the best ways to do this. Whether we go just around the corner or half- way around the globe, there is al- ways something new to be learned or discovered. This year provided Highland stu- dents with an excellent opportunity to travel. When the Trojans won the semi state championship, many loyal friends and family members packed up and headed for Indiana- polis to cheer them on in the Dome. Some stayed for only the day, while others rented a room for the week- end stopping at some local attrac- tions such as the Union Station and the Capitol. In each case, new ex- periences gave us a slightly differ- ent perspective of ourselves. Another nearby favorite among teenagers is Great America. Just a few hours behind the wheel brings us an exciting day of rollercoasters and entertainment. Going farther from home, learn- ing opportunities are virtually un- limited. North, South, East, or West — any direction one chooses opens his doors to new ideas. Still in the United States, Carolyn Orban found the tranquil Grand Canyon to be an awe-inspiring experience while those traveling abroad re- ceived a new vision of America. Rob Palmer, John Deters, Greg Sa- cha, and Jon Pyke spent eight weeks in Germany with the Indiana University Honors Program. Scott Harvey traveled through seven Eu- ropean countries with the Ameri- can Musical Ambassadors concert band sponsored by Purdue Univer- sity Lafayette. Also, David and Diana Zych traveled to Italy for a stay with their grandparents. Each brought home with them many changes and new ideas that are helping to shape their lives. We are living in a great age — trains, buses, automobiles, and air- planes make traveling much easier than ever before. Take advantage; discover some of the exciting places the world has to offer. In the end, the most will be discovered within yourself.

City Sights O ur kind of town . . . that’s what Chicago is. Yet, the master gateway of Windy City is under construction. We may have to sacrifice the thrills of Chica- go or risk bumperto-bumper traffic on the Dan Ryan. Journeying to Chicago brings the feeling of adventure. Just see- ing the tall, dark shadow of the Sears tower in the misty air starts plans for the day in motion. Great times are ahead for everyone. A whole day in Chicago awaits many Chicago still accessible with alternate routes even make new friends with the pi- geons. For those with artistic values, the Art Institute of Chicago is an inter- esting place to visit. With the many galleries and exhibits on display, there is sure to be plenty of beauti- ful artworks to choose from. Unfortunately the Chicago ad- venture must come to an end.
