6 THe WHIRLPOOL EDITORIALS GROWTH THROUGH RECREATION The thing we young people enjoy most in life is not wealth or physical enjoyment but growth and development. We all like to ex- plore things and learn more about ourselves, our environment, aud the people whom we watch and admire. We want to live a full life and get the most that we can from life. This can be done either directly or indirectly through play. True recreation is that which is enjoyed most and is the far- thest away from one's everyday work. The same activities are not suitable for everyone. А good recreation for one person may be drudgery for another. However, most schools have enough variety in activities so that everyone may be included. Activity is better for anyone than mere entertainment. It develops one physically and socially and is much more enjoyed. Delinquency is developed in great part where there is very little or no opportunity for activity, and where only poor forms of rec- reation are available. This is why in schools more and more outside activities аге being brought into the daily curriculum. Students who are often seen hanging around street corners would no doubt participate in more activities, were there more activities in which to participate. And yet we hear older people continually saying that all there 15 in high school these days is dancing and ball games. Some even go so far as to say that high school is no good because more time is devoted to activity than to study. But we young people are not conservatives, we are liberals, we want change, improve- ment. Maybe what was good enough for older people is good enough for us. But what 1s good for us probably would have been a lot better for them too. Activities must be learned when one is young and has the en- thusiasm to learn, rather than spending one's younger days read- ing books and spending one's later days trying to learn what should have been learned years before. Possibly in the olden days this was considered the only form of education. But it has been definitely proven that meeting people and knowing how to entertain and participate in different activities makes up the greater part of education. Not only do we like the different courses here such as Arts and Crafts, Music, Athletics, Gym, and Bible Study but we also realize how much value as recreation these activities offer us. We don't want fewer recreations. We want more! ! LurrLrA Воур, '42
