THE BIG WHEEL THE WHEEL We, the Annual Staff of Baton High School, chose the wheel as the symbol for our 1974 theme. Do you know what is the only basic invention that man did not find in nature? It wasn't fire—for lightening can cause a fire, it wasn’t the lever, nor the inclined plane for they are found in nature. It was the wheel. Nearly every thing von do today somehow involves the use of the wheel. There was a time, long long ago when the early people of the world had no wheels of any kind. Man has had to develop this idea, his greatest invention, out of his own mental ability. Fire is Man's greatest discovery, the wheel his greatest invention. Through the years the wheel has changed very little but has helped greatly in everyday life. From the solid wheel came the wheel with spokes, which made the wheels stronger and lighter. Each spoke served a purpose, when a spoke was broken or missing the wheel was weakened. The spoked wheel is similar to man's society. Without the interaction of people and their activities society too is weakened. The students and organization of R.H.S. represent the spokes of the wheel. When they all work together we have an organization as strong as a wheel.
