the big fish in the Lower School pond. Ram- bunctious and enthusiastic, these charges of Messrs. Grassi 84 Terrill heightened their math skills by gam- bling - in incessant backgammon tournaments. By calculating the odds on each roll of the dice they increase their multiplication skills, too. In English, the fourth graders write book reports lare you ready, Mr. Landis?l and begin to learn formal grammar. For the second year in a row Upper School sci- ence teacher Mr. Webb has generously given of his time to introduce the smallfries of Lower School to science. This is clearly one of the most fascinating times of their week, Mr. Webb tries to give them an introduction to laboratory work, and they respond enthusiastically. Mr. Webb is planning to expand the science program into the lower grades, espe- cially in the next years as he will be in charge of the newly-created Middle School. This year the main focus of his time with Lower Schoolers was astrono- my and geology. Of course the music program, under Mrs. Schrade, is another favorite with the small fries.

Lower School dramatic productions are, at least, colorful, and are long-standing favorites of Upper Schoolers, who get treated to Thanksgiving, Christ- mas and Washington's Birthday - while completing their French assignments. Of course Headmaster Mr. Cole has become a standing fixture at Christmas productions, - as Santa Claus, of course. Mr. Terrill's fourth grade class put on a play about a king who could not stop sneezing, after years of unsucessful remedies, he was cured. One day the kingdom's finest chef baked a pie which was given to a special pie thrower who threw the pie into an innocent bystander QCharley Evansj. The king had never laughed so hard, and thus his side splitting cured his sneezing. Qu
