Welcome to the student life section of our 1984 yearbook. The pictures and paragraphs that follow will unravel a tale of discovering the unknown. Ten Coe-Brow n students plus Mrs. Johnson and her mother, Mrs. Baehtell, spent nine days touring Paris and London. The day they arrived in Paris they visited the Louvre. Little did they know that they would be stuck in the elevator with ten screaming people for a half hour. That same day they visited a gift shop where the pro- prietor received a bomb threat on the phone. She threw them all out of her shop, and the whole block was closed down. Last but not least, our students ran into dental students on strike. They were giving out plaster casts of teeth, so everyone look a few and proceeded onward. The next few days were occupied with touring the Palace of Ver- sailles, the Loure Valley, and six different chateaus. On the way to London the ferry passed the White Cliffs of Dover, which are a magnificent sight. In London such places were visited as Canterbury Cathedral, where Thomas a Becket is buried in the lower-level floor; St. Paul’s Cathedral, where Prince Charles Jrwif Uf learn ihr roprs of sailing while Sue St. Clair listens intently. Discoveries! and Princess Diana were married; the House of Parliament, and Westminster Abbey. The Coe-Brown crew stayed at the beautiful Kennedy Hotel in London. The last night (which some say was the most fun) was danced away at a disco in Picadilly Circus. I’m sure everybody slept well on the plane trip home! In May of 1988, Mrs. Harmon's art classes and Ms. Dion’s advanced literature class went to the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. The main purpose of the trip was to see the collection of modern American paintings and the collection of French impressionist paintings. The classes also visited the Egyptian collection to see the mum- mies and artifacts from ancient Egypt. The trip was a great deal of fun, and everybody learned something as well. Five Coe-Brown students par- ticipated in the Summer Institute of ’83 this summer for five weeks. One project they were involved in was building a model to ensure the survival of two mice that would be kept under water for 48 hours. Two teachers. Mrs. Johnson and Mr. Hall, were also in- volved. Other projects that they did were painting, planting flowers, and designing and building scale models of bridges. Twenty-eight students and two Deb Mcknight. Dennis Tuttle, and Kathy Anglin set sail. teachers went out on a floating lab in the Atlantic Ocean on one of the coldest days ever recorded in June. They thought that they might bring swim suits — good thing that they didn’t since they almost needed snowsuits. There were five different stations on the floating lab that the students experimented with. They did ex- periments dealing with a plankton net, eurrents, navigation (salinity and turbidity), and bottom dredg- ing. They kept data sheets on the ex- periments, tallied the results, and sent them to 1J.N.H. to be put to use. Everybody enjoyed themselves. Another trip is being put together for the last two weeks in May of 1984. Senior Maria Shute and Junior Arlene Newman spent five days at U.N.H. learning different aspects of business. They heard lectures from New Hampshire business people on how to make decisions dealing with marketing. They did research on how well a product would sell and what marketing techniques to use to sell it. The winner was the person who had the highest stock market pricing and sold the most stock. Both students say they had a very good time. Brad l.izotte learns a net concept of patty cake. 8

VARIETY IN STUDENT LIFE We all have different ideas of fun, but whatever our ideas are, we usually find something going on at Coe-Brown that we consider fun. Coe-Brown students can par- ticipate in many out-of-school ac- tivities. Some students go on trips with certain clubs; some go to in- stitutes; some go on field trips that are interesting. The school often puts on dances for the student populace; and if all else fails, we can find some way to entertain ourselves. 7
