A t' ts At lflbrk The arts have always been an im- working on new productions such as portant part of a CDS education be- cause you can't be a well rounded per- son without at least minimal exposure to the arts. At CDS the opportunities for experiencing the arts include paint- ing, sculpture, photography, drama, vocal music, instrumental music, and industrial arts. The art department is constantly be- ing updated and improved. The paint- ing, sculpture and photography classes all take place under the library and theatre. There is a dark room, pottery wheels, all manners of studio art materials. Next door is the theatre, with dressing rooms, theatre props, all ready for the coming production of Grease. The students are constantly Lower School's production of Coyote. The industrial arts studio in Dan- forth building is fully equipped to han- dle all sorts of wood and plastic cre- ations. Next door, the Upper School Glee Club is rehearsaling for its Christmas production, singing such Christmas fa- vorites as Deck the Hall, and Jin- gle Bell. In Danforth Chapel, the bands are warming up for their annual Christmas performances. Whatever types of arts, Country Day has it all, it's the decision of which to take that's hard, commented Senior Son Nhan. I wanted to try everything but just don't have the time. Scott Miller and the Troubadour cast rehearse for Grease.

Quagmire Ah, the joys of being in Class Six, and especially Mr. Smentowski's sci- ence class. Mr. Smen loves to let every student experience what is apparently his most beloved thing in nature, the pond. But even Mr. Smen gets sick of the CDS Pond, and for that reason, every year, he takes his Class 6 stu- dents to the ponds and lakes at the Brush Wildlife Reserve. His students, of course, think anything is better than school, and eagerly await the outing. But little did this year's sixers know what awaited them. There had not yet been a year in which a sixer had not lost his shoe, or some other vital part of his paraphernalia. Thick, foot-grab- bing mud seemed to be more common than water, and the sixers never seemed to mind it as they ran about doing their experiments. Mr. Smen was also used to these trials and tribu- lations, as mud clinged to everyone's shoes and pants. On the trip, the students were asked to perform a number of experiments to evaluate the water in the pond and the surrounding areas. Using a yard stick tied to a sled, the students mea- sured the depth of the pond. With nets and buckets, they fished for speci- mens. Using the data collected, the students then compared the number of life forms to the physical character- istics of the pond, and using these data they graphed and charted the charac- teristics. lt was a fun experience, and everyone seemed to enjoy the excur- sion, even this year's sixers.
