WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL . How many times have we heard our parents sayfliwhen I was in high School . . .H or something similar? But what was the next part of the sentence? Any- thing worth remembering? It won't be E00 IOHS HOW till I mi8hf 53V that' and when that time comes, I want to have memories that are worth while. Looking back over four years of high school, each person cherishes certain things, depending on what high school has meant to him. It means something different to each of us. Perhaps we've been thinking of school as a building where we sit through six hours of class, and then rush over to Hennie's. To some of us, it may mean the football games, a Hi-Y pin--or making up time. There are countless things we could name that high school might mean, but if someone were to ask you what high school did for you, could you give an answer? The answer is a hard one to put down because we can't always see the results that our high school experiences have had upon us. Since I'm only a Senior, I can't tell how my future life will be changed because I've gone through high school, but I can recognize some of the things that have helped to make these last few years a vital part of my life. Teachers realize that classes aren't all that make up a school. The educa- tion that is given to us in our classes is only a starter. We get an education from everything we do. For instance, I'll remember a lot of the training from my subjects, but I'll probably remember more vividly what kind of a teacher I had, or who sat behind me. I'll remember the many projects we've carried through, the excitement of Prom, the guilty exhuberation of skipping, the argu- ments in club meetings, and those days in which there wasn't enough time to do everything. But even these memories wouldn't mean much if I couldn't remember the kids who share the same memories. These friends I've made in high school may not be the ones I'll have all my life, but they're the ones who have helped me to decide what kind of a life I want to have. I've learned from them by knowing them, and trying to understand their viewpoint. The more people I know, the more I can learn from them. That's why I think that high school means much more to people who know as many kids as possible. We're lucky at Wisconsin High- Our school is small enough so that we can know the names of almost everyone. Of course, knowing the names doesn't mean knowlng the Pe0P1ef so we have to go one step farther and make many friends, enlarging our own small group. The only trouble is that it isn't always eas , Y to en1fF8e H SFOUPE it s not half as much work to go out of high school knowing approximately the same number of kids as when you go in, but it isn't half as much fun! 'I guess I:ve beaten around the bush long enough to give you an idea of how I think. Here s my answer to 'What did high school do for me?n--high school gave :e a wonderful chancf to meet m3nY People my own age, and each one of them has ad a personal part in making me the kind of person I am today. janet Huiskamp
