New areas explored in Challenge ' 73 • ■ i ■■ iiiWlFqjM too I fcooT od i From March 26 to March 30 Snider experienced a new type of education, a free form educational ex- perience known as Challenge 73. During this week all regular classes were suspended in order for students to take courses not regularly offered in the academic curriculum. The en- tire program was student instigated and operated with only faculty super- vision. Courses ranged from guitar lessons and candle making to casino gambling and Karate. Electronic music, Russian Conversation, child care, tennis, photography, and ESP were just a few of the other courses offered. Twenty-nine people from the community came to Snider to teach some courses while the remaining courses were taught by regular students and faculty. Still others con- sisted of a series of field trips and out- side job experiences. Planning for Challenge 73 was begun last summer by general chair- man Scott Schubel.

Talent displayed in Sketchbook 73 Sketchbook 1973, the annual talent show, was, as always, a huge success. This year Sketchbook was held on April 27 and 28. Snider ' s students and faculty combined to pre- sent an enjoyable evening of quality entertainment. The show was made up of modern and old-fashioned dances; vocal solos and ensembles; comedy acts; a magician act; and a mad scien- tist. Snider ' s faculty proved again that their traditional act was not to be missed. This year their skit was en- titled, What ' s a Mother To Do? The hilarious skit was about the old lady in the shoe who had so many overgrown children she just didn ' t know what to do. Another excellent tradition up- held, Sketchbook 1973.
