Ngo What's so colorful about English? From the out- lines of black and white printing, words are trans- formed into images that come alive. A picture of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales was modernized as seniors put the story of their class trip to the beat of iambic pentameter. Films also aided in learn- ing Shakespeare, as well as providing a break from the normal routine. For juniors, American Literature class read many a novel and then graphically displayed the relationships between characters in sociograms, or, the circle pictures with the lines in be- tween. ln the never ending search for the influ- ence of art and architecture on literature and his- tory, Culture class made a weekend trip to Chicago. Turning books into living color, the sophomore reading machine was a useful way to increase comprehension, speed and ability to judge a book by its cover. Freshman saw red from time to time as their red grammar books aided them in deciphering the English language. Read- ing the classics was of major importance to the class, and their not-so-traditional interpretations took the form of mobiles and collages. Thus, English is colorful because even though it comes in black and white, these colors are the basics for vivid imagination. .ia l

Home Economics Goes From Batter Magic seemed to be the best word to describe the transformations that took place in home ec. For instance, no one would have believed that those first few weeks of sewing seams big enough for an elephant and ripping out the zipper for the eighth time could ever produce anything decent. Especially after comments like 'fl thought the sleeve was the collar, so I sewed it to the neckline. lt took me three days to figure out what happened. Or further confessions: I've been working on it for six months and it's turn- ing out pretty good . . . l'm surprised. But slowly everything from pink-and-purple-droop-drawer- pajamas to blouses of white satin began to make their appearance in perfection, proving that clothing class was definitely not fabricated. Meanwhile, in the kitchen, cooks colored their way into the world of foods. After scraping off the black burnt parts, innocent on-lookers were presented with offerings that bore striking resemblances to casseroles, candies, or cookies. However these failures were only part of the learning process and soon diminished when the errors turned into tempting dishes, preparing the future Suzy Homemaker for the world of gourmet. 18
