Doing it all can The theme of the 1986 CODASCO is doing it all the best we can. Put- ting together a yearbook requires looking at every aspect of a school and looking at the school from many different angles. Country Day is a very small school. The number of extra- curricular activities, coexist with in- credibly successful sports programs and a rigourous academic program show that Country Day students are doing it all the best they can. The Senior Class this year numbers only sixty and the entire student body numbers just over five hundred. Yet this small student body supports a pa- per, two magazines, a journal, and a yearbook. The students determine the rules by which they live and the penalties for breaking those rules through the student government. Over a dozen plays were performed. First class debate and chess teams compete successfully with schools of greater enrollments, and countless other activities including the Assem- bly Committee, SADD, Model UN, Freshman lohnie Mack practices his slam dunk before school in the gymnasium. the best we Russian Dancing, and AFS also form part of Country Day's incredible ex- tracurricular potpourri. The strength of extracurricular ac- tivities at Country Day is more surpris- ing considering the basic rigors of just getting the required schoolwork done. All students must take a foreign language and fulfill a variety of other requirements that go beyond what any college requires for admission. Most students take advantage of the wide variety of electives and of the highly successful Advanced Place- ment courses to study what they are really interested in and to truly chal- lenge themselves. The strength of the school's basic academic program is shown in the way colleges respect Country Day, in the success of Coun- try Day's AP students, and in the per- formance ofthe TEAMS competitors and those taking tests such as the Ger- man AATCis. Success has come to be expected of Country Day. lt's part of the tradition. Class 5'er Adam Brandt blows his trumpet during a third period brass section band practice.
