-•r V- ■ T he dictionary says that an important part of community is the fact that its members share common goals. Perhaps because we are Americans we tend to lose sight of the idea. Actually, a school community is a whole series of goals laid on top of each other. In some cases the goals are designed so that they might be more acceptable to a larger number of people. We all remember the endless series of contests in grammar school which were really designed to teach us spelling or math. Sometimes “our” goals were not “their” goals. What was really remarkable about our community was not that so many goals were hidden but that when we understood the goals we were willing and capable of doing so much. Publishing was like that. We were all accustomed to finding fault with this or that story in the Blue and Gold or that certain picture in Maldonian but what was really remarkable was that we could have done so much. Only the athlete realized the physical and mental demands that soccer or football necessitate and only the athlete knows that the season is more than the won-lost record. The lesson is that community functions best when “the goals” are “our goals”. share common goals 25
