The Admission Office is processing applications from all in "the first round," who will receive decisions on March 10. Approximately 250 families have visited Proctor since November 1, and an equal number will arrange tours in the weeks and months ahead.

That's the good news. The challenge is to provide all of the student-guided tours. Seventy students have a precious "study block" in their schedules, so they volunteer--or are drafted into service.

It's asking a lot under the best of circumstances, but recent tours have dealt with cold rain, thick slush, icy walks and substantial puddles that that cover footpaths. Proctor kids seem to know how to cope with this stuff by leaping, side-stepping and wearing the right boots, but visitors can be traumatized.

In his weekly contribution to Friday's Parent Page, Mike praises our tour guides for their invaluable service. Parents of these kids should be proud.

Students in Anatomy & Physiology are dissecting sheeps' brains.

It happens that you can see the relative development of traits in sheep--such as smell--in specific brain parts.

Some students complete the lab faster than others, and offer help.
