CLHSSLS Many an English student at Lamar has become a Shakespearean enthusiast after listening, as these students are, to the school's superb records of Mac- beth's soliloquies delivered by Maurice Evans. Perhaps a future Bill Stern will be de- veloped through use of the excellent facilities found in the drama depart- ment for recording and radio work. Are you familiar with cylinders or the problems of the Archimedian Solid? lf not, follow these students to the math department and have the mysteries of solid geometry explained. A civics class applies a portion of what it learned concerning the Bill of Rights, the right of Freedom of Speech, as it conducts an open discussion of social problems concerning the family.

3 lllilllll The adage, One picture is worth a thousand words, has its practical ap- plication in Lamar's Latin classes where models of Roman arms and armour en- liven the stories of Caesar's wars. The difficulties of the irregular verb and the use of the subiunctive account for the looks of concentration upon the faces of these students in a typical Spanish class at Lamar. ls this ancient alchemy or modern chemistry? query these students as they watch the complex preparations for a demonstration experiment about to be conducted in Lamar's chemistry laboratory. A complete world of minute organisms suddenly appears before the eyes of these biology students as they bring their microscopes into focus upon the specimens of muddy water they are examining. x Upper right: ,V .L MR.
