A problem is like a leak in the roof. ll' it is attended to at once, it is checked. But let it go, and you're all washed up. In every classroom that we sit, we are continually thinking about, discussing, analyzing, or solving problems. W'ill the hydrogen bomb destroy civilization? W7ill the ltalians turn communist? Wlill the Republican party continue to receive the support of the people? ls lx!lCC8I'tl1j' destroying American liberties? Yvas the author just in his treatment ot' the heroine? Can we raise the necessary funds to build a swimming pool? Xvill our school be- come overcrowded like other schools? lfach challenge we dip into prepares us for a larger, more complicated one. Though some of the problems which we try to solve may be shrugged otl' by our elders, it is a truism of life that unless we strive to solve our own problems now, whatever they are, we shall never be able to do so when we are faced with real adult needs. Our teachers help us immensely in this task. XVithout their aid we would strike impasse after impasse. At times, we may cast disparaging re- marks about slave-drivers, taskmasters, and Simon Legreesf' but deep down in calmer moments we understand that what they are doing for us is beyond monetary compensation. For, in helping us to solve our problems, our teachers are providing us with the basic under- standings and guidance which will help to make us happy, well-adjusted citizens. NVQ do not skirt discussions of Communism, .'5lcCarthyism, atomic survival, world federation, government corruption, and other big eye- opening questions. Only b analyzing and un derstanding them and searching for what is true and what is not true can we attain a sanity in life and balance within ourselves. We seek the truth Jlr.

ur tensions Following the example of industries and hos- pitals, schools ot' today are realizing the im- portance ot' recreational facilities to provide an outlet tor peut-up emotions. Rushing to com- plete an lfnglish unit, studying for an important exam, or worrying almout marlcs are all activities which create tension in the minds of students.
