Parent Exchange Week Considered Successful During the week of March 1 5 to March 19 the Innovations Committee and the Student Council jointly sponsored a student-parent exhange. The idea of the exchange was to have a student's parent replace him or her at school for a day. The students were to inform their parents according to class procedure, their schedule, and tests or other necessary information. The parent, upon his arrival at school, was to be treated exactly as if were a student. The parents' responses and actions throughout the day were to be considered as those of his child. Because the exchange took place through the week of March 15 to the 19, the parents, when C ass Attends 'Dream' A play is an "animal of different sorts," in that some plays are written to be read, while others are written to be performed. In part, this is the reason Spring drama students will see Midsummer Night's Dream on stage. Also, seeing a live performance is a learning experience which students cannot get in a classroom situation. Midsummer Night's Dream was selected because it is one of those plays written to be performed. Spring drama students will read the play prior to attending the specially-scheduled matinee April 8. They will also read three other plays, Richard III, A Man for All Seasons, and Loyalties. Richard 111. one of Shakespeare's early history plays, is the story of Richard Ill's rise to power and his downfall. Robert Bolt's A Man for All Seasons is the story of Sir Thomas More's sacrifice for his high moral convictions. Midsummer Night's Dream is a "marraige of four very diversified plots." The class will hvae the opportunity to listen to tapes of the four plays. They will also see a couple of films, William Shakespeare: Background for his works and English Literature: the hlizebelhan period. A speaker or speakers from the Shakespeare Festival are tentatively scheduled to speak to the Spring drama class. Students will be required to write five themes and one term paper. The term paper may cover any area in drama or the Elizebethan period. Other activities in the class will depend on the individual teacher. Mr. Brock set up a general course outline and the details were left to the individual teachers. "A Man for All Seasons" is playing at Stage II.
