As soon as any student steps onto 

the PA-campus he knows about "the 

dreaded course" which awaits. US Is

experience this course at some time 

duiring the PA career, 

Teachers in other departments 

moan and groan about the excessive 

work given out by the US History 

teachers, while all over campus the 

Yes, some of the rumors are inflated, 

but the students- taking this course earn 

that right. 

History teachers grumble about the 

pejorative aura which surrounds their 

mandatory course, but everyone 

knows that they are proud to be a part 

of the tradition. They are even proud to 

set the deadline for this 12-15 page 

term paper at the end of the school 

year. When everyone else is lying on 

the Great Lawn listening to birds 

chirping and frisbees flying, US History 

students have to worry about "the 

Throughout the year, History 

30/31 focuses on the history of the 

United States (there's a shocker). The 

course begins with an emphasis on the 

social, political, religious, and economic 

conditions in England and the 

colonies, works through the years and 

ends with the civil rights movement of 

the '60s to the present day. In the 

spring, the course's victims look forward 

to the infamous research paper

The girls endured a six game scoreless streak, 

falling to barely above the .500 mark by season's

there are a lot of kids who are intimidated 

by the "theatre kids" versus all 

the other kids. There isn't anyone at 

school who's done so much theatre 

that they're above and beyond the 

rest of the world. 

who's done three or four plays and a 

kid who hasn't done any plays is so 

minute that no one should ever be intimidated. 

I felt that the Steinbach Theatre 

needed to be more focused, and 

we've reduced the number of shows 

that go in there, and also taken a 

more active faculty role in making 

sure that the capabilities of that theatre 

are being utilized and utilized 

well. 

I didn't want to lose the excitement 

of learning something through 

doing, so we generated the Workshop 

Theatre shows[classroom shows] on 

Sunday nights. 

I flunk that kids began to realize 

that this little theatre is a pretty nifty 

opportunity if you use it right. If ou 

get in there and really focus on a task 

able target, that's a pretty wonderful 

asset. 

You can invest two weeks on a 

small project and do an excellent job 

rather than spending six to seven 

weeks, spreading it out and it loses 

its focus. 

Now, every night at 6:30 we've 

got the excitement back; there should 

be nothing intimidating about
