Students Join Together in the Search for Identity Three years . . . three years of trying, growing, searching . . . three years to learn, to develop in skill, to discover in- terests and talents — this was high school. Fifteen hundred searching people, fifteen hun- dred different methods, differ- ent directions and results — this too was high school. And har- mony was there along with dis- cord, variety with monotony. The searching led these fifteen hundred onto the tennist courts, the baseball diamond, the stage, the scholarship roll, into the orchestra pit, the meeting room, and those quiet places where individual accomplish- ment is born. Still another search was common to all these fifteen hundred: the search for themselves, for identity. And this led from the group domination of the ear- lier days to the later signs of individuality and, perhaps, ma- turity. It fostered that tendency to gather in pairs and groups, and people were everywhere together. Thus it was that so- cial life — the dances, the im- promptu action, the gossip, the silence — was so essential a part of the days.
