STUDENTS 30 Man has joined himself with man; soul acts and reacts on soul....It is in Society that man first feels what he is; first becomes what he can be. ... Society is the genial element wherein his nature first lives and grows. —Thomas Carlyle As the bass drum throbs the rhythm and the rhythm breaks the peace of midday, students share a pep rally in front of the auditorium. The crowding, screaming mass makes the individual a part of this place which keeps him all day and sends him home with night hours of assign- ments. Machiavelli manages to excite the uncoopera- tive mind of a student in an outside reading as- signment. His message makes the individual a part of the learning for which his education was meant. Half-moon beams down on tobogganed heads and frozen hands as student sledders pass the nights of “snow days” careening down golf course hills on Coca-Cola signs. Trains and pyra- mids of squirming friends and the laughing and talking over hot chocolate make the individual a part of the people who pass through this ex- perience with him.
