On Monday afternoon of this
week the grade 13 students went
by bus to Clinton High School
to see the Crest Hour Co. per-
form selections from Shakes-
peare's play, "King Lear", and
read some poetry which is on
the grade 13 course this year.
There is a trip planned for
grade 13 students at the end of
April --either the 28th or 29th --
to the London Little Theatre.
The performance to be attended .
is entitled "Man of all Seasons",
the modern play which we will
study in the spring. I'm sure
the students will agree with me
when I say that being able to
see the play performed helps to
"make it stick".

The first chapter deals with
some of the children in Turkey

bashful and shy, having to ad-
just themselves in a new en-
vironment.
