Bees were somehow able to give precise information to others of the hive about the direction and distance and the va- riety of honey to be gathered. Scientists intrigued by the bee's unusual be- havior studied them intently and were amazed at what they discovered when they unveiled the language of the bees. When a worker finds nectar he performs a unique dance. If the nectar is less than 100 yards from the hive, he acts out a round dance. If the nectar is farther away than this, a tail- wagging dance occurs. If he gives the first dance, more bees leave the hive in search of flowers with the same smell of nectar that is on the bee who did the dance. However, the tail-wagging dance provides more definite directions. Over and over the strange dancer turns a half-circle in one di- rection, then makes a straight line with its abdomen wagging vigorously from side to side. Then it turns a circle in the opposite direction and repeats this straight-line run. This tail-wagging run gives the other bees the compass course. If the run is straight up the comb, the food lies directly toward the sun. If it is straight down the comb, the nectar is directly away from the sun. If the dance is at an angle to one side or the other of a straight line, it shows what angle toward or away from the sun the seeking bees should head. Bees see polarized light, so they can still find direc- tions if clouds cover the sung however, some clear sky must be visible. After the bees are sent out, they come back and give the same tail-wagging dance of the bee that informed them where the nectar was, and more bees go out. But when no more nectar is to be found, no more bees are sent out to the immediate area. lui? .M S 4 1 f f sffiis 4 4 x 5 1 2 55 fig, f if 0 fi? 1 53 wig wif!

f f I CREATIVE COMPOSING From the simple beginnings of letter and word recognition and learning to write their names legibly students acquire a basic writ- ten vocabulary that grows and develops as years of training feed their receptive minds. Second graders begin developing self-ex- pression in their writing by writing in their own words summaries of books and stories they have read. Progressing through the elementary grades, more emphasis is placed on using accurate, concise, descriptive words. Assignments not only include traditional grammar but also spontaneous writing assignments which stim- ulate constructive thinking. Junior High School students reinforce their previous training with creative writing in re- search papers dealing with history, science, and literature. Additional opportunity for high school students with journalistic interests are the school publications. The Hi-Lites, school paper, is a credit course offered to graduating seniors but with contributions solicited from all the student body. The Diplomat is the school yearbook open to high school students as an extra-curricular activity.
