FWnOPATtON Participation. . .eagerness to be a part. . .helping with the production of a play. . .performing in an assembly. . .serving as an officer. . .working as a member. . .playing in the band. . .singing in the chorus . . . being a student AND MORE. Life is not a spectator sport. One can EXIST as a mere student, but he can EXPERIENCE as a participant. The heart of a school does not beat until the educational process is complemented by a student actively becoming a part of the school until he has taken part in a school activity. Then, and only then is he truly a member of the student body. There is a feeling of experiencing as a cheer is led. . .a dialogue is presented. . .a skit is performed. There is a satisfaction that comes when the play is over . . .the routine has been performed. . .the dance is past. . .the diploma has been received. Activities compose a great deal of the students life on campus. When a person is a part he experiences. . . he feels. These then are the aspects which compose the face of education.

COOPERATION Cooperation. . .will to work, conducting a meeting. . .hearing a guest speaker. . .socializing with fellow students. . .carrying through a community service project. Membership in various school organizations teaches one the importance of leadership, assistance, dependability, and service. Organized groups within the school exist for several reasons. . . service. . .honor. . .vocational information and experience. . .development of abilities. . .discussion of common interests. By becoming an active part of such a group one develops his social sense. Leadership is formed as one acts as an officer. The value of being of service is realized as one completes a project which will benefit others. Initiative and reliability are recognized as one works to compile a school publication. By meeting with others whose interests are similar to his own one finds companionship and common ground for recognizing the value of the individual. These then are aspects which compose the face of cooperation. 8

oo upermoN Competition. . .desire to do ones best. Competition comes in many forms. . .the clash of two football teams trying for a touchdown. . .the struggle of two wrestlers desiring to pin or reversal. . . the desire to hear the crack of a bat and ball. . . the exertion of a basketball player attempting to make two points. The world of competition as bounded by athletics is an important part of Winslow High School life. The desire to win motivates an athlete to do his best. . .tire maximum he can give. All the athletes' senses and reactions seem to sharpen and quicken as the desire to win forces mental and physical capacities to maximum. Without competition there would be little or no reason to do more than the minimum. This sense of rivalry brings out qualities: teamwork. . . willingness to work with others for die good of the whole. . .and sportsmanship. . . ability to accept results, win or lose. These dicn arc the aspects that comprise the face of competition.
