bition to the project with the
.well earned outcome o f the
overwhelming success of the
production.
The play itself was based on
a recollection of amusing inci-
dents which occurred through- •
out the past '5 years of thegrad-
uating class at Bill Davis High.
The production took' the format
of a musical in which the
arhazing talent of our students,

were previously ignorant o f,
was brought to light.

people involved both backstage
and front stage, however: each
is to be given special credit for
his or her role in making this
'one of the finest productions

The Students Speak Out
On Box from the Attic
Several weeks ago a feature;.4] that particularly appealed to
was carried on the school page'-,
concerning the new. metho4,.Of rt
experimental teaching being Jr;
used with Mrs. Campbells/$S
tory classes. This was part of
a plan issued by the Department:1
of Education, in whichkli,
were distributed to s e v e r al •,fi.•
classes throughout the provinCel:
entitled "Box From The Attic".• •,:
The box contained hundreds •.,s,
of pieces of raw data from 40
era of the Grett*Depression. .
One class was.unstructured,that.i:

would be conducted. Since this
was an experimental program,
with the hopes of coming up
with a more interesting method
of teaching histbry students, the
opinions of the students on such
a project were desired. With
the program close to' comple-
don, the students have had to
formulate their id e as about
what they have learned.

siastic about the new, method,,
of teaching. He liked the idea

competitions, and Doug Mow-

However, he did admit that he

Gerta seemed enthusiastic about
what the completion of the

of the research, each student
