Books tell of and are of life. There are two types of books. There are those which lead me on and tease and tempt me. I follow dumbly and take part in adventures, romance. After the cover is closed I have to face myself and the fact that I’m alone, lost, and dead. It hurts me! It pains me to know that I am a living being apart from people. People to be known. I’m just letting them pass me without even trying to grab them and make them see me. . . “See me. feel me, touch me. heal me!’’ (The Who) There are books of learning. These books talk of real people. They speak of suffering and pain. I look into myself and see that that’s why I remain still. I’m so frightened. I’m scared that I’ll be hurt or worse-----ignored. A friend would push me-he would shove me into the crowd and I’d be forced to act-he talks to me. . . “Listening to you, I hear the music Gazing at you I get the heat Following you. I climb the mountain ...” (The Who) Now I am all and I enjoy a vast horizon.

Abby Crumpackcr attends a fireside discussion of mandatory assemblies. Indifferent Leaders Assemble For Workshop “Leadership workshop was fine. Everyone got nice.” (Ben Thompson) “Leadership workshop was a joke. People were discussing student apathy, but they were so apathetic they went to sleep.” (James Matter) With only two weeks’ experience behind them, student leaders devoted a mid-September weekend to learning about school government and methods of making needed changes. Newly elected senators, rally squads, teachers, and the school cabinet attended. Eyelids drooped as discussion groups droned on about parliamentary procedure, but they jerked awake when the subject moved to non-mandatory assemblies. During free time, the ambitious leaders abandoned serious discussions for walks on the beach. Some played football and all-day volleyball games; others molded sandcastles or talked with guests from other schools, but learning about each other, liking some and disliking others, continued. “Leadership workshop? ... I didn’t accomplish anything, but I found out about everything.” (Barry Foster) With an urgent message for the world, Anne Dosskcy scrawls on a deserted beach.
