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.
