gfeadife TO BE CONTINUED . Not Just Birdhouses. . . And soars.. Kids disappearing behind the Adminis- tration building?! What evil could they be up to? If you followed them, however, you would find that they entered a door la- belled SHOP. There is a faintly monotonous hum of an air conditioner, and you can almost hear voices coming from the other side of the door. Cautiously, but with a strong tug, you pull open the heavy door. Inside, your eyes meet a scene of noise and mo- tion, and you inhale a whif of wood dust that hangs like smog in the air. Someone is drilling a hole through the back of what may become a whale. In the distance, two mechanical drawing students are alter- nately arguing and taking bites of their ing a line to his paper. Tilting your head upward, you spy a wood sign - 'KWIT- CHURBELYAKINW? On the right is Tom Tyler, Chadwick's shop teacher, helping a student cut a board on the tablesaw while eccentricly signing, One and one are two. Two and two are four ... Bob Rule, a new face who is also teaching shop, is helping a young girl learn to use the bandsaw. Both men strive to teach the fundamen- tals of wood-work, while allowing the stu- dents' creativity to flourish. If the stu- dents are not inspired by the hundreds of objects that line the shop's walls, the only limitations to what they can create are the boundries of their own imaginations. HEY!

af ,,,, www p MA CERAMICS She's more like a friend than a teacherf' said freshman Amanda Parkes of Mrs. Webster. She teaches morning and afternoon ceramics classes to students in grades seven through twelve, giving them a basic instuction in the various techniques of clay- working. The classes are not rigidly structured and gave the students alot of leeway. Wedging clay and clean-up are the few tasks which not all students find fun. However, the beautiful pieces that were proudly dis- played in the Chadwick library and outside shows were proof of the talent and creativity which these students were able to express through application of the techniques that they had learned. OH BOY! CERAMICS IS SUCH FUN. Siobhan Wilson . I DON'T KNOW LIZ, maybe hot pink is a little bright for an ashtray. Elizabeth Walles and Kristen Reitz . W3 ' Ceramics 189'

'IIHIWN W3 What a shock! New Faces in the Photo Lab. . Students walked into the photo lab at the beginning of the year and then stepped back. In place of Harlan Goldberg's jovial face was that of Mr. Douglas Morgan. Contrasting Harlan's easy- going attitude, Mr. Morgan was well organized and had a detailed and structured ap- proach to teaching. He stressed creativity on the students part while also put- ting emphasis on the teach- nical aspects of photography. Mr. Morgan taught both middle and upper school stu- dents how to load, roll, and develop film, as well as how to print the actual pictures from the negatives. Students also became acquainted with the parts of the camera and what functions they serve as they were required to set their cameras on manual They observed the composi- 4- pd tion, design, and tonality of pictures taken by famous photographers, and then ex- perimented with the tech- niques and incorporated what they learned into their own pictures. However, Mr. Morgan was not the only new face in the photo lab. Over Winter Break, the old sink was re- moved, and two new ones were put in with the addition of some shelves above the sink for chemical storage. This enabled more students to develop film, and a new counter expedited the clean- up. We hope that both of the new additions are able to serve Chadwick for many years to come.
