Classroom Applies to Real Life ook at the size of that tgatorl yells Jamie Fish. lllt's coming toward us! screamed one of the girls. Actually, according to the Okeefe- nokee Park guide, l'they're more fright- ened of you. Seeing the wildlife in the Okee swamp is a major reason lVlar- shall's Zoology students take this trip each spring. Going down on the train is almost as much fun as the swamp trek. Adding to their life bird list and identifying trees, shrubs and flowers reinforce their class- room work. The Smokey lVlountains trip has as it's primary goal, new specimens for Botany students, tlIt's always a hfty- fifty chance that we'll be hiking in a snow storm, says lVlr. David Otto. The students actually camp in primitive cab- ins and get to practice pioneer skills. Both of these trips are only part of the outdoor lab work offered by the science department as it continually tries to get student's theoretical class- room work matched with real-life expe- riences. This is the opportunity for all those assignments about leaves, insects and birds to be used. In spite of the sunburns and other in- conveniences, these trips are great be- cause ofthe opportunity for many stu- dents to be independent and have fun with their peers. ' 'V rs -i-X s ' K,- Birds such as this Barred Owl are seen on trips which help the students add to their life bird list. Here the hikers are ready to go hike down the Smokeys. The botany students look for different specimens to bring back and study. A ' A ..--nh Trips 17

Humanities in Never Land n August 2, the summer school Humanities class performed the musical Peter Pan. Under the direction of Cy- nthia Featheringill and Janet Eberle, the class worked about four weeks on the play itself and about four weeks on the theater in general. Although the major goal of the class is to put on the musical, it also helps the students to learn the basics of theater. It teaches a little about acting, music, and the tech- nical aspects of a production. The cast of HPeter Pan had hoped to perform the musical again in Sep- tember, but due to the teacher's strike, UPeter Pan is not the first summer musical that Marshall has produced. Last summer the Humanities class put on HYou're A Good Man Charlie Brown . HCharlie Brown was put on twice once in early August, and again in early September. The musical for next year has not been decided, and prob- ably won't be until the class starts in June. The play depends on the size of the cast available. If the cast is large, then the play will probably be a chil- dren's play. If the cast is small then the play could possibly be the musical UFan- r tastiks . plans were changed.
