DE IN 1 u i955 A student spends much of the time between nine and five, thirty-two weeks a year, before a teacher in a classroom. ln ,small groups, where student and master know each other thoroughly, formal education is kept on a personal plane. At Shady Side relationships between teacher and student are therefore easy and informal. In the time the student has to call his own - those hours untrammelled by classes and free from obligations to activities - he turns to his friends for companionship and relaxation. Whether he realizes it or not, he is gaining much of pleasure andrvalue. From these student-student relation- ships, in fact, comes the most important learning the school can offer. Here, by word and picture, is a record of the school year: the work, the activities, the events, those teaching and guiding, and those learning. Underlying all are significant human relationships.

Extracurricular activities, be they athletics, clubs, publications, or dis- cussion groups, bring student and teacher into close contact. Guidance is personal, experience in working together is stimulating, friendships are enjoyable and lasting. When classroom teacher turns coach or adviser, and student quits the grind to become player, leader, or contributor, master- sfudent relationships are indeed rewarding.
