i I J r -fc. Introduction “jNo man is an island.” We the seniors at akefield have finally come to realize this truth during the years spent in preparation for the adult world. Although we are all individuals, we are interdependent upon one another. No man in our modern world is capable of claiming his place in life without acknowledging the fact that he did not achieve it alone. Our successes, our goals and our achieve- ments — yes, even our failures are influenced by our contacts with others — their talents, their person- alities, their beliefs. akefield is a community, a w orld within a world, where w e daily grow in body, mind, and spirit. It has been our goal to present to you an interpretation of tbis small world of ours. It is for this reason that we present to you this book, this record of life in the community of Wake- field, as a testimony of this truth, that “No man is an Island.”
