According to psychological experts, en- vironment and atmosphere a re the dominant factors influencing the happiness and well being of a person at work. Cer- tainly, an institution of learning promotes thought, and thought, in turn, promotes work. The architects and engineers who planned the building of U. S. Grant had all this in mind as they drew up the first blueprints. Of course, beauty without comfort is useless and these experts also had this to consider as they planned the landscape, size, and composition of a beautiful, but accommodating edifice. Following the same pattern, the garden- ers have added beauty to U.S.G. by using their own talent and skill. The gardens which encircle our school give it a unique- ness which makes it stand out among all others. Realizing the importance of decorative ornaments, senior classes long past are still remembered through gifts left to their alma mater. In part, each of these groups contributes its best for the betterment of their favorite school, U. S. Grant.

Mr. Paul Hieronymus' chemistry class performs a laboratory experiment. Ln Cu rn cu Zum Knowledge, the key to a studentis success in life, is accentuated by the very competent teachers of U. S. Grant. Wisdom is the main goal set by our forefathers that we, the students, try to achieve by attending school. ' From the first day of school, our teachers help us learn the principles of being a helpful and use- ful citizen. If we retain this knowledge that is so diligently being given to us, we may not only suc- ceed in life for ourselves, but we will also prove to our teachers that their hours of preparing us for our future are not in vain. Learning can be made fun and enjoyable to all who are interested. If a capable student comes to school, with a will to learn, school will be no serious problem or burden to him. But if a student comes to school with an attitude of belligerence, he will be unhappy because he will consider his school- ing a waste of time. Schooling is very important to a student, and this importance is strongly accentuated by the teachers of U.S.G. Mr. Hostetter gives fatherly advice and counsel to problem child Billy Young.
