Guided Seniors Veronica N. Nagel s ilk.. Q , I ,if . i 1 .l iiiiiii ssc is K' iiii or . ff. fig, . ii' Joan A. Neu Chaucer, the Pearl Poet, Shakespeare and other great writers acted as guides for the seniors on their literary tour of England through the ages. ln English IV the girls studied the works of English au- thors from the Anglo-Saxon period to the present time. They sat for many hours writing ballads in the Old English form, beating out the rhythm with a pencil. They lived with Lady Macbeth and her master through the torments of a guilty conscience in Shakespeare's Macbeth, dramatizing the sleepwalking and witch scenes, often with humorous effects. To become better writers, some seniors cultivated the art of seeing everything they looked at and appreciating the beauty of even the tiniest stone. ln writ- ing Iab, a new world of color was opened to the girls when they tried to name the exact hues of an apple, a leaf, the lake, and the sky. While working on a descrip- tive theme about Lake Michigan, the girls spent a week studying the changes of the lake, its colors, and activities. Before writing a children's book, they studied stacks of iuvenile stories and enioyed their simplicity. Keeping a iournal helped the girls save quotations and thoughts. on Literary Tour I Pointing out incorrect syllubication ofthe word bachelor to Geraldine Gauthier is Barbara Mallinger, while Lor- raine Zmania expectantly awaits her answer.

Physicists Studied Laws Through the study of physics the power of God and His order in crea- tion were appreciated more by the sen- iors. After studying the laws of Boyle, Einstein, and Newton they were bet- ter equipped to understand the work- ings of various forces. They worked experiments to illustrate those laws. They tried to recall geometry from sophomore year when illustrating those laws. Finding that a person weighs less in an ascending elevator made them wish that they could al- ways go up in elevators. To them vector drawings were a new way of finding the distance and direction in which a body was going. But it seemed that so often the direc- tion and distance in which the girls traveled iust didn't coincide with Sis- ter's answer. Because of international stress on science, they studied espe- cially hard to understand the intricate workings of man-made machinery and God-made forces. Carole A. Packee Catherine M.
