Saturday Morning
9/16/2006

In our never-ending quest for a week schedule that satisfies the most people, we now have a single, ninety minute class on Saturday morning, followed by an hour of advisory. The extended classtime invites creative, experiential methods of teaching and learning. In Wilderness Medicine, Reed finds Dana's blood pressure to be on the low side.

Kids in a techology/media class called iLife interview peers on videocam regarding their opinions of the dress code.

Their findings? General support exists for the school's neat & clean approach, yet several girls expressed irritation with too-short skirts passing as OK in classes in which teachers respond to a small hole, or a simple tear in clothing.

In physics, Josh Norris '91 interprets a wave line generated by a motion detector.

Geometry students are working with artistic designs.

Peer Outreach, our student peer counseling service, places one boy and one girl on call throughout a weekend. Nick, center, is manning the cell phone in anticipation of calls from stressed-out and homesick students. It hasn't rung.

The stone table outside the dining room is a significant landmark on campus. Virtually all off-campus excursions and weekend trips depart from the stone table.

Incidentally, the boy in the "hollister" T-shirt is a junior named John. His roommate, Adam, plans to document a day in John's amazing life this week for your entertainment. Stand by....
