Every time a person encountered one of these events he could count on surprise, wonder ' and a sense of exhilaration. The new worlds discovered by Lancers varied from learning exciting facts in science classes, using watercolors and oils for the first time in art, and hands-on experiences and demonstrations in the industrial arts department. Whether working alone or in conjunction with others, there was always an aura of hard work and perseverance which as much as guaranteed that each discovery would be appreciated and retained.
