MUUILWII '- WUILWUIIQAI M' Ifllflli For three months students and teachers worked to develop a Multi- Cultural program which Cedar Park could adopt this year and in the future. This program would make the Pluralistic or Multi-Cultural Society more of a reality to teachers and students. The emphasis was on class- room activities and teacher training, as well as a week-long Multi-Cultural Week. This week was filled with ac- tivities within various classrooms: from taping grandparentsi migration to the New World to films about the contribution of many peoples within our society. Two days were devoted to assem- blies and seminars. One of the days students were involved in an assembly with Jefferson High Dancers perform- ing the History of Dance from Black Africa, the Nest Indies, the Early Plantation South, to modern jazz and rock. The drama department, under the direction of Carol Coburn, pre- sented Masks, a play depicting the prejudices of Man. The same day, eleven half-hour seminars were avail- able for students.
