 The Renaissance was an age of rebirth, opening Europe to an era of discovery. During this period the numerical system was established, the forerunner of today's computers (for which Bryan Talbot is thankful). It was during the Renaissance that Marco Polo visited the Orient returning with treasures such as: gunpowder, now enjoyed by Ray Meldrum silks and fine cloth, today enjoyed by Timpview students of the female gender and herbs and spices destined to improve school lunches. The Renaissance also produced William Shakespeare, author of thirty-six of the worlds greatest plays. Romeo. Romeo, wherefore art thou.

Early ancestors of Mike Morris, needing a way to communicate, invented a method of writing known as hieroglyphics.

He may even have had to walk. The'contribution of these early men could not be denied. ■ (few O'
