Wild Turkeython Taken from the perspec- tive of those who organized and participated in the sec- ond annual Turkeython, the program was a success for several reasons. Though the Turkeython may have been put on for the benefit of students, but many teachers would have participated even if there was no audience at all. The event gave them a chance to let loose and have fun. Most teachers hadn't dressed up as students, brides, or priests in a while, if ever, and they enjoyed the chance to do so. Re- gardless of their wacky out- fits, the faculty eagarly dis- cussed their routines with Above: L'Amour is in the air at the Turkeython as Madame Ruthman and Madame Lamboley portray French lovers pouring their hearts out in a romantic French song.

To stimulate their interest in science, two programs were offered: the Yale Universi- ty's Frontiers of Science on Saturdays in February and March and the Con- necticut Junior Science and Humanities Symposium on March 14 and 15. Frontiers of Science was open tojuniors, who had to submit an application and science achievement scores. The chosen then spent their Saturdays tak- ing lectures. The Symposium, held at Wesleyan University, was open to a limited number of sophomores and juniors. For this students had to submit an application and a synopsis of her indepen- dent research. Kim Tracy and Debbie Holik were cho- sen to attend the confer- ence. Both girls valued the opportunity to see other students' research. Debbie Eichler, who par- ticipated in both last year, said, 'Not only was able to expand my knowledge, l was able to meet others who shared my interest.

Were they sim- ply procrastinators? When asked why she waited until the night before, Cha- magne Ciernert replied, lt seems that there were just so many minor assign- ments given in the mean- time that you either forgot or didn't have the time. Chamagne also pointed out that long-term assignments could be stressful because we are expected to put end- less hours of work into them. 553992 17 H9259 Curriculum
