Whetstone High School - Legend Yearbook (Columbus, OH)

Page 15 text:

On those ordinary morn- ings between summer and summer, weekend and week- end, holiday and holiday, the student heads for school, rid- ing or walking through Whet- stone Park or Old Beech- wold, passing over the Olen- tangy River or any of the fine, sky- or tree-ceilinged streets nearby. In the cool-to-warm sunlight of early midmorn- ing he approaches the school door, and in that light, and against the glass of that door, he sees his reflection. He opens the door and sees be- fore him a many-faceted mir- ror of which the door's glass is only an outside part. This is the mirror of high school life, a mirror in which he sees himself in many lights: the dimming lights of his past, the dawning lights of manhood or womanhoodg faint sparks and bright flashes offering him brief glimpses of his future, chang- ing lights with changing sha- dows, moving across the face of his mind, witnessing his becoming. He sees himself grow with his skill in the crafts of the carpenter or metalworker, the homemaker, the artist, the musician, the actor or speaker or writer. His studies in literature, science and mathematics, history, and philosophy and his training in business show him in the lights of different kinds of realities. The 1967 Legend first de- picts the setting of high school life: the school's lo- cation, the student's place among the trees and clouds and river in whose meadows VVhetstone rests, the stu- dent's sex, his newly-defined masculinity or femininity. After depicting the aca- demic program, the Legend recognizes those who main- tain and organize Whetstone, or, figuratively, those who keep the mirror of high school well polished: the librarians and others who serve in the academic program, the jani- tors and cooks, the coun- sellors, nurse, and atten- dance officerg the principal, vice-principal, student ac- tivities coordinator, clerks, office staffg the Student Council and Safety Council. Next comes presentation of several student interests, notably cars and sports, not covered in connection with the various fields of study. Finally, the Legend recog- nizes each pupil as a member of the sophomore, junior or senior class, a student of that course of sense and nonsense peculiar to his own age group and to his own times.

Speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee. As a child of Earth by her mar- riage to Time, each person moves to the rhythm of his parents' song, learning only from the books of his parents, library, and living only by the rules of his parents' authority. First as a means of assuring himself of membership in the vast family of living and nonliving things, then as a symbol of that membership, he holds communion with the rocks and the rabbits and the trees, sharing with them the blessings of air and earth and thus restating for his own benefit his part in the only kind of life he can understand. If his life is the record of all that Job. XII, 8 he knows of himself, then the natural World over which he moves is the paper upon which that ac- count is written. Just as the archi- tect must read his building in- structions in the trees and hills and clouds from which his con- struction sight hangs, so can each man recall his past, define his present, and determine his future only in terms of his own move- ments across time and space, the elements of his environment. As students of this high school, we receive our educations in the context of wide, flat fields that extend from Whetstone Park at High Street to Whetstone High School at the Olentangy, the river outside our door. We go to school and return home over the wide streets between the park and Henderson and under the trees that rule Old Beechwold. As our eyes wander out the classroom win- dows, they scan the tiers of houses of the Knolls. Into this setting there came this year a stranger, a new building, an addition to the high school, which, like any stranger, any man or any work of man, accepts its role as both opponent and com- plement of the forces of nature.
