PREFACE With the advent of Telstar and Mariner II, world and outer space communications have again taken a giant step forward. The many other scientific advances in communications have also helped to bridge the gaps between peoples and places, countries and cul- tures, and we are able to have vicarious experiences that vastly increase our understanding and learning. For this reason, the staff of the West-O-Raneer has chosen “Communication: The Bridge to Knowledge” as tne theme for this book. Our purpose is to illustrate how we have gained knowledge through communication, how we have spanned the gulf between the loneliness of isolation and the gregariousness of participation, how we have benefited from the association and companionship of our teachers and fellow students, and how we have grown in the understanding of ourselves and others. There are four means of communication: reading and writing —we read what has already been written and write so we may impart our thoughts; listening and speaking—we speak to others ana listen when they speak; graphics—we use pictures and charts, figures and graphs to visualize and portray our ideas; and action —we express our feelings through motion. The history of our school life, therefore, has been divided into these four categories. This is not to intimate, however, that any particular subject is limited to only one area, for the most important facet of communication is that it is inherently a part of all our experiences. During our years at West Orange High School, we, with the rest of the world, have shared in the improved methods of com- munication. Our “Bridge to Knowledge” nas broadened us, given us keener insight, and prepared us for the world-wide problems we shall have to face in the future. ALBERT H. TURKUS
