Editorial We began work on the Herald this fall with the belief that the yearbook could be more than a pleasant picture-book; it could have some meaning and relevance. When the time came to select a theme, then, we had to decide exactly what meaning the hook would have. The group began to polarize into two groups: those who wanted to stress the good times, the good teachers, the real communication between students and faculty in the high school and those who wanted to stress the had times, the indoctrination, and the lack of real com¬ munication in the school. After a month of arguing and heavy casualties on each side, we reached a compromise. We would not deny indoctrination, and neither would we expand it beyond the truth; we would not expand the good parts beyond truth, and neither would we deny they existed. We decided to deal with the relation of the individual to high school and to society in general. Our presentation would be neither black nor white, all good nor all bad, but, as we saw it, truthful. The presentations were varied and sometimes confused, but one thing was common to them all and foremost in them all, and that thing was people. Neither the high school, nor the society, nor the institutions of that society existed as huge, inhuman blocks, but were all made of people. Thus an individual’s problem was not to fit into and relate to a thing called society, but to fit in with and relate to other individuals. We know that there are problems involved in fitting in with other people. Can a person reconcile his individuality with the needs and desires of other people? If so, how? We be¬ lieve that a person can fit in and still retain his individuality. How? That is not a question we can answer. Each per son must find his own answers to that question.
