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. Other Stage II
productions are Under Milk'wood and Arsenic and Old Lace.

they were in class, had a
majority of the class made up of
students, thereby forcing the
class to retain the
student-oriented atmosphere.
This allowed the parents to get a
better insight and understanding
into his youngster's school
atmosphere.
It was also hoped that the
students could replace their
parents on the job, or observe
the purpose of the exchange as
explained.
In the words of the
exchange's sponsors, Jerry
Scannell and Rob Merriman,
"We hope that this exchange will
increase the appreciation and
understanding between parents
and students through a
first-hand expereince of the
'day-to-day routine.' "
