THE YOUNG TNTELLECTUALS The Lower School: a time of skinned and knohhy knees, non- existent front teeth, and earnestness. From the first days, we are wide-eyed and docile, ahsorhing great and vivid enigmas. As we grow, we progress into the infinite house of literature. struggling up the steps of the alphabet, pushing the heavy doors of sentence structure, opening the windows of vicarious experience. The canvas of our lives lmroadens, grows crowded: the enigmas hecome more comprehensihleg we are shaped, drawn into awareness. We really ought to have a grade in recess, for here we learn about our fellow human heings. The experience is not always pleasant. We have friends and enemies-sometimes the two are interchangeable-in equal proportions, and our play- ground arguments are often as acrimonious as any political campaign. These years are years of experience. We are taught tolerance and understanding, and we are slowly readied for the control of our destinies.

As small-scale ex- plorers we traveled around the neighborhood and to the Wal- ker Art Center. We were fas- cinated by the baby animals which we saw on the farm we visited. We are beginning to cultivate an important quality -thoughtfulness. We m a d e Christmas presents for our par- ents and sent valentines to each other. We have reached the first step on the path to knowl- edge. CLASS UF N75 Vlfe in the kindergarten are ac- quiring new knowledge about the world around us. ln learn- ing, we combine work and play. We built a grocery store in which we bought, sold, and measured goods. New books taught us penmanship and num- bers. We love excitement of any sort, especially holidays, for which we have to prepare, and our excursions like the one We took to the Museum of Nat- ural History. Although we are the smallest in the school, we think we have the most to do. In fact sometimes we think our school day is much too short. Front Row: V. Bock, F. Peacock. E. Sweetser, J. Taylor, V.
