Psychology There was a magic looking glass on the side of the mountain from which Pegasus saw man from many different angles. For many years, he smiled when he watched man try to understand his own behavior. He laughed at Cleopatra when she wondered why Mark Antony left her and went back home. He smiled to see Narcissus become powerless be- cause of his looking-glass complex. But Pegasus began to feel sorry for man and he started to teach man his secrets with ink blots and dogs that respond to gongs. We learned to call these ink blots Rorsharch tests. We learned to give these tests. We heard speakers at Psychology Club and helped out at the Foxboro Mental Hospital. And so, we have become a little wiser, for now that we can better understand ourselves, like Pegasus, we can even smile at ourselves, too. MR. SHIPLEY MISS CONSAV AGE MR. GILBERT Psychology Club: E.

To balance our thoughts, our faith and our religion Philosophy and Religion Pegasus was lively and wild, but Bellerephon thrust a golden bit be- tween his teeth to teach him control. Thus Pegasus became wise and taught some of his wisdom to man. To be wise is to balance passion with the golden bit of philosophy. We gained understanding from seeing symbols of ancient Gods chalked on the boards in zig-zag strokes by Mr. Deitreichson. We had Aristotle’s ideas explained to us by anecdotes from Mr. Austin’s tennis experiences. We learned to apply this knowledge to our lives by picking and choosing the ideas that appealed to us personally, and by adding our own ideas. Yet, we did not really become wise until we learned to balance our thoughts with faith and religion. From our study of philosophy and religion we became familiar with the pantheist’s god of life, Plato’s god who moulded cosmos from chaos with his hands like a sculptor, Aristotle’s unmoved mover, and the Christian God of Love. Our candlelight and chapel services served to balance our concept of life with the know- ledge of God. MR. AUSTIN DR. MARTIN MR. DIETRICHSON Page twenty-four Too deep for thought

SCICHCE Together Pegasus and Bellerephon slew the Chimera, and it was then that Pegasus was free from ignorance. “He flew upward and onward to the ancient stables of Zeus where he was harnessed to the thunder car.” Now he controls the rainbearing clouds which descend from heaven and send lightning, thunder, and power to the earth. Now we know some of the century-old mystery of the uncanny power of Pegasus. We saw life in its smallest dimension under the microscopic glass. We saw the giant planets of the skies through the telescope, and we listened to Miss Hill speak of radio-sensitive instru- ments from which we can hear the presence of the stars. We were curious and we wanted to understand. We examined a cat’s brain so that we could see how an animal thinks. We mixed elements and ana- lyzed compounds in order to understand the complex order of the ele- ments of the earth. And always we wished to grasp the pattern of nature and to theorize and prove our ideas about the world in which we live. And now that we have become curious, we can continue to learn the secrets of Pegasus as we leave Wheaton and become older mem- bers of our century. We can help man to slay the Chimera.
