SINCE THE BEGINNING OF CIVILIZATIO THE DISTINCTIO OF THEI DIVIDU L AS BEEN A UNIVERSAL CIONCEPTIO . A person's individual personality distinguishes him from all others. Whether the distinction is only relative or is absolute has been disputed for many centuries among various philosophers. To Plato there was no absolute distinction. The universals alone were real. With Aristotle, reality was found in concrete individuals and the universe was only an abstraction. Today, the individual finds his greatest question of identification in the relation of himself to society. We have been somewhat indoctrinated with the idea that individuals tend to conform or fall into a group because of various reasons prevalent in our society today. Some say the problem exists be- cause ofthe primary impulse for love and compan- ionship, that no one wants to be a loner, so he will conform to the way the majority thinks, thus being accepted. Many feel that since things have always been done a certain way, doing them in exactly the same manner will again assure success. Others feel the problem is one of a mass education system with little opportunity for expression of onels own opin- ions or attitudes. ln this year's Sammamish,,l we, the 1966 annual staff, have somewhat rebelled against former annual style by presenting the book in a photo-es- say style. Rather than being posed group shots, the snaps tend to show the personalities of all kinds of people in the different activities they participate in. We have also rebelled against the contrary belief that the individual has a problem of identification with the group and society. have shown that through education and the high school experience students develop their own attitudes, ideas, moods, manners, and sociabili- ty. Some personalities we have recorded reflect strength, skills, or special talents such as musical, athletic, or mechanical ability. Some reveal individ- uality in the way they solve problems, react to disappointment, plan ahead, or act towards teach- ers, friends, and strangers. Often we have captured a person's attitudes through his indifference, social awareness, or leadership ability. So, throughout the annual we have illustrated in photo-essay style that each person is something unique and individual, not to be someone only distinguished by the group he is a part of.
