Tumbleweed? No, just an example of creative expression by a student of the Fine Arts Department. Besides brightening the halls with decorations on the bulletin boards, art students visit several galleries and displays during the year. Through the ef¬ forts of Mrs. Maloney, Mr. Enright, and Miss Smith, promising young artists further their hidden talents. DRAMA “Lord what fools these mortals be Contrary to popular belief, this is not Mr. Lee’s opinion of his students. Instead, this might be a line from one of the many plays studied in the drama classes, or it might be used in public speaking to im¬ prove diction and voice control. Each year, under Mr. Lee’s skillful guidance, the drama department puts on a full length play, one act play, and musical. MUSIC Sousa never had it like this: Mr. Dubin, in red, white, and blue, leads the band with “vigah.” Whether he’s dragging his musicians across a muddy field or conducting the orchestra in a crowded room, he creates sounds rivaling the National Symphony. Her finger waving above the piano. Miss Green directs with gusto. Each year she undertakes the task of transforming scores of students into polished performers; and judging from the caliber of the concert, she does her job extremely well. Promising young artists furthering their hidden talents. 18

M.A., George Washington Helen Garrison B.A., Louisburg Jr. College B.S., East Carolina College ENGLISH From Chaucer’s “Aprille with his shoures soote” to Eliot’s “April is the cruelest month,” our English teachers labor to instill within us both a love of literature and the techniques of meaningful evaluation. So we explicate Wordsworth’s odes, ana¬ lyze Hardy’s novels, and fracture Shakespeare’s soliloquies. On any given morning one can hear Macbeth contemplating murder, Antony exhorting the rabble, or (meanwhile back at Raveloe) Silas Marner gloating over his gold. Then, of ocurse, we must be able to communicate our brilliant ideas, so off we go seeking out run-on sentences, tracking down split infinitives, and extermi¬ nating those nefarious dangling modifiers. Vocabulary is important, too, for passing college boards and impressing Hot Shoppes’ waitresses. Consequently, we wrestle with twenty new words each week, each word chosen for its precision, utility, and perversity of spelling. Do you, for example, know the meaning of egregious and triskaidekophobia, two words no self-respecting garbage collector should be without? In the end, if we leave Stuart a little wiser, a little more literate, much of this is due to the genuine dedication of our English teachers. Hail Muse, etc.!” I 1 I Gerri Lenvin B.S., New York U.

Head of the constant racket in these rooms is Mr. Lynn, who, along with the other modern language teachers, is very much in the tempo of the new audio lingual teaching method, or ALM. Along with the new department head, Stuart wel¬ comed Mrs. Felices, who taught Spanish this year under the Fulbright Teacher Exchange Program. Widely acclaimed by many authorities, ALM is a milder form of brainwashing; through continuous repetition and drills, the students develop conditioned “reflexes,” actually rejoinders . . . sort of like Pavlov’s dog. Ahem . . . Besides gradually adapting the department to ALM, plans were made to in¬ troduce a Russian course for next year. Of course, for those who are interested in ancient history and want no accent wor¬ ries, there is always veni, vidi, vici. Mrs. Condit at her evil machine.
