Foreword Wasn't it just yesterday when the Tooth Fairy left me a quarter? Surely it was no longer ago than that when Pammy stepped on my Easter eggs at nursery school, or when I got sick from riding the merry-go-round, or when the boogie man scared me on Halloween. Why, it seems like only yesterday when-did I say 'it seems like?' Seems? It wasn't yesterday, was it? No, yesterday a pot party was busted, fifty-nine Americans were killed in Vietnam, a diplomat was kidnapped from a hijacked plane, a college was bombed. Wow, times have really changed. Today. That's a pretty big word, isn't it. How can I adjust from Yester- day to Today? I guess the only way is' to take off my rose-colored glasses and chance the world with an en- larged viewpoint. Putnam City I-Iigh School has done that. The administration was willing to make concessions to allow the stu- dents better expression of individu- ality. The dress code was revised to include pants for females and longer hair and mustaches for males. Put- nam City was allowed to change with the times. The educational process was also enlarged. The addition of a new li- brary improved study surroundings and increased material facilities. Also, the counseling system was increased from five to ten men and women. Each counselor was assigned a section of the alphabet so that a student would have the same counselor throughout his high school career. Putnam City moved toward an up-to- date philosophy concerning student needs. Students also enlarged their out- look. More individualism was seen walking through the halls. Popularity barriers became less apparent and less important. Talk between classes varied from discussions on Cindy's wig and that Saturday night date to women's lib and the drug problems. Recognizing the possibility of hav- ing the vote at only eighteen, students expressed their interest in current local, national and international prob- lems. The majority of expressers also were listeners. They enlarged their viewpoint by considering the other guy's point of view. No longer am I asking that you like me. I only ask that you accept me-that's what enlarged viewpoint is all about. Take time to know and understand, not time just to like or dislike. That's what the 1971 Treasure Chest is all about, the knowing and understand, not time just to like or dis- understand, not time just to like or dislike. That's what the 1971 Treasure Chest is all about, the knowing and un- derstanding. The enlarged viewpoint. 3
