After writing many hall' said and half felt truths, this writer decided to return to his original thoughts which he had so sueeessfully screened behind walls ol' rhetoric. We students at Penn -Day are isolated in our own world. Per- haps the sehool is at faultg education should help us see beyond ourselves to others. But more likely we ourselves are blocking what the school has to offer in the way ol' teachers, classes and opportunities. Perhaps the only eontact with or knowledge of other people will he in this yearbookls introduction. We must be able to see the others in the world. These few pages are a tribute to the l'aet that others exist, and perhaps their desires are as holy or as trivial as our own. Happiness ean eome when we are able to see, understand, and love all othersg when we are able to see that indeed we cannot hate someone unless the part we hate is also a part of ourselves. Do not eount the pages devoted to yourself, your sport, activity or faction. For we of the Raider pressured by the left and the right, have done our best to ignore the shouting and the elamour created by petty power politics. just onee, try to enjoy soinethingg whether a book, a game, a glass ol' beer, ora personis soul, as il' it were yours and as if it were just as valuable as your world and ideals for which you have fought and eried and loved. lt is.
