Equipment used was the unassembled motors, wire, armatures, and miniature plastic parts. After assembling the motors, the students ran them by using batteries.

Katfier- ine J. Dowd'i junior English class es are now in the process of reading William Shakespeare's play "The Merchant of Venice." Students who wish to take a part usually for one scene, are required to stand in front of the class, along with the other characters, and give their interpretation. Although no one is required to read aloud, those who da are marked for their en deavour. At the time Shakespeare wrote the play, it was not the custom for women to act. Thus there were never many female roles in his plays.

This is finefor most classes, where tbere is an abundance of boys, but in the sixth period class, there are only eight boys; and they all have a tendency to shirk the assignment. As a result, girls are forced to read men's roles. The Merchant of Venice, written in approximately 1507, is classified as a tragic comedy. That is, it is a comedy, but it could have had a tragic ending. It is mainly a love story, the story of a girl, Portia, who must fulfill her dead father's' will concerning her marriage.

The reason for the strange will, is because Portia is wealthy. Her father, taking all precautions against having her marry a money-mad no-good, des ignated that three coffers be filled with gold in one, silver in another and lead in the last. Whoever the man that picked the coffer with a picture of Portia tucked inside, was to have her as his wife, But if he picked the wrong coffer, he could never speak of marriage again; either to Portia or any one else. The ending, because it could have been tragic, is why the play is called a tragic comedy. It is not necessary that the students memorize their lines, but they will have to know, by heart, 50 lines for the final exam.

Mrs. Dowd said that classes ev ery year enjoyed the play, and this year is no exception.
