Drama Classes Stage Musical Climaxing the year for the speech and drama department was the production of the Rogers and Hammerstein musical, The King and l. Miss Alice Butler, drama instructor, assumed the role of Anna Lenowens, and Robert Dyer played the King. Multicolored sets, costumes, and a revolving stage were constructed by drama and speech students. The theater activity class is a laboratory course which provides rehearsal and per- formance experiences. Basic theater practice l and ll stress stagecraft, stage properties, and make-up. In December, classes combined efforts to produce the Caucasian Chalk Circle, a five-act play, which served as a practice pro- duction for the year's feature performance, The King and I.

The C.A.T., a test to determine child mental development, is explained to Melvin Platt and Helen Carbajal by Dr. Sue Nordquist. .1 C' C' 43 X! 'r- ln examining child behavior, Dr. Sue Nordquist uses the Stanford-Benet IQ test. People Provide Topic for Study Human behavior is the major topic of the three courses of study offered by the be- havioral science department. Because people respond according to what they believe, philosophy classes study the meaning of ex- istence, the universe, knowledge, values, and human institutions. This year, some of these ideas were presented to students through Playboy, Charlie Brown, and the writings of Huxley, Orwell, and Ann Band. ln psychology, the study of individual be- havior, students participated in several lab- oratory activities, including acting as both experimenter and testee in the study of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale, an IQ test. Also included in the psychology classes was the demonstration of several tests designed to indicate personality traits. Through sociology, a study of people in groups, students viewed a film titled The Detached Americans. This movie demon- strated the fact that people don't want to get involved. Another variation from the regular class lecture schedule was the program and film presented by a VISTA volunteer.
