English Theatre improvisational games and exercises, which stimulated individual expression, high- lighted drama classes this year through the study of voice and diction. In addition, detailed research reports made the history of theatre from the clas- sical period to the theatre of the absurd come alive. The more advanced classes concentrated on the special techniques of film-making by directing one-act plays.

Advanced chemistry classes, for example, spent more than half their time first semester in the labs, testing, determining, and theorizing the concepts of physical chemistry. The second semester, stressing study in organic chemistry, was geared total- ly to lab work. Different techniques in crystallization, optical isomerism, and distillation were applied. From this experimentation resulted such projects as Webster's renowned Hovercraft. ln lab-orientated science classes, teachers merely acted as super- visors. They directed the student's attention, but allowed the student to discover the fascinating con- cepts himself. Mf VlCI0F Miller Mr. Martin Schroeder Mrs. Helen Southworth Chemistry Biology Ass t.
