Celebrate Learning Learning. You probably are won- dering why in the world we would decide to celebrate learning. We asked ourselves that question, too, but then we realized that, after all, that was why we were in high school. To learn. At least that's what our parents and our teachers tell us when we aren't studying as much as they would like for us to. Learning, excuse us for this, can really be fun. Those field trips to northern lllinois, or to Chicago - remember those? They were educa- tional experiences - you learned something. Or how about those ex- periments in physics or chemistry.

They were certainly more fun than lectures. And we all agree that while voca- tional classes are fun because you get to DO something, alot of learn- ing takes place in those, too. You can even have learning ex- periences without having fun. What about the time in sophomore comp when you didn't understand a foot- note from a title page. You had to learn it, so you did, and you felt good when you had. We celebrate learning because that's what you're here for - and it's what you'll be doing the rest of your life. qw .. ,au 4, 6,1 .446 ,, K -JJ fl at Seniors Ron Engel and Darlene Bolatto seem to think that two heads are better than one when it comes to a tough assignment.
