When the entir.e Student Body is attempting· todd what is best •---"--"" for everyone, life's meaning– lessness disintegrates into AC– TION. Participation in building up school spirit, in encouraging others to be the best people ~ 1 r .Aool they can, and in surrenderin one's self to the fulfillment of an "Impossible dream" can breath' into stagnant souls. "With– allegiance and commitment, individual freedom degenerates into a sterile self-preoccupa;: tion." The Executive Council of the Student Association is attempt– ing to rise above colorless mediocrity to a year of service in action. "·For example, few school years have beJnJn with as much an emphasis on ual awareness as this one, the S.A. has had a part in en– couraging this.
