Anytime during the year, one could find Science Club members down in Room 152 of the physics wing. Quite surprisingly, much of their time is spent in the pursuit of knowledge. They work on individual pro- jects and plan the annual week-long field trip. This year they went to Kettle Moraine, Wisconsin to study in- depth and on the spot problems concerning geolo- gy, mapping, photography, and conservation. ,si J ROW1: M. Hillier, S. Andrews, T.

Barefoot In The Park This year's fall play Barefoot in the Park proved to be another West Leyden success. A Neil Simon smash comedy hit, Barefoot lured theatre goers to the West Leyden auditorium for a truly enjoyable evening. The situation deals with a newly married couple, Paul and Corie Bratter, settling down to married life just af- ter their honeymoon. They soon find it's not so easy to be alone with a nosey mom, an elderly attic tenant and constant trouble with their newly installed telephone. Before long they begin to have their own little dis- agreement which flares up into a major crisis , But all is solved in an uproariously funny ending, as Paul comes back home stone drunk to a worried, waiting and sincerely sorry Corie. The success of Barefoot in the Park is not soon to be forgotten in the history of West Leyden plays. TOP: Paul and Corie in the mid- dle of a major crisis.
