Tucked away out of reach of all the future historians, scientists and writers are the set designers, costume artists, special effects wiz- ards, composers and performers carrying on in the E-wing. The creative bunch reaches out into the community with exhibits like the yearly ex- travaganza at the South Shore Plaza or the marching band’s Saturday excursions to Hol- lis Stadium. At all times of the year the steady buzz of activity is a feature of the area. This year there are some new faces in the E-wing. It ' s hard to miss Mr. Larson with his Viking yodels in E204 and equally hard to bypass Mr. Shaffer as he drives the instrumental musi- cians to increasingly better performances. Frank Novio contentedly strums his acoustic guitar. Debbie English centers her clay for another pot in Advanced Ceramics. Steve Fisher puts in hours on the drums for Jazz Band.

Mrs. Pierce’s board is covered with current events stories from the covers of magazines. Social Studies is an academic area that has a lot of variety to recommend it. The study of past events shows how we can improve on our culture and prepare for the future. From Ben Hur to Gone With the Wind or The Blue and the Gray the history of man has been replayed in films, and usually in a serious way. Often though, Social Studies can approach the luna- cy of a Mel Brooks film. Everyone was a suspect in the case of Ms. Moran’s missing Teddy when the ransom note almost provoked a nervous breakdown. 10
