AROUND CAMPUS

Mr. Jolliffe’s AP Literature students presented Metamorphosis: The Musical last week in the Morse Black Box Theater. The Kafkaesque rock opera explored themes of alienation, dehumanization, absurdity, and identity loss in modern society. Conceived, written, choreographed, and performed entirely by the class, the production played to a packed house of classmates and faculty. Photos from the show can be found here.

Photo II and Photo III students enjoyed a day exploring coastal Maine while studying composition, texture, movement, and (for the first time) color! After 2-3 semesters of producing black and white photographs, advanced photo students navigated the challenges of using color film with the freedom to explore the unique and beautiful coastline along Ogunquit’s Marginal Way. Sharing lunch with the seagulls in Perkins Cove was the perfect ending to a fun day of photography! Film forever! Photos from the trip can be found here.

Mr. Stark's woodworking students designed and built four new podiums to use at events around campus.

Students in Mr. Mitchell's welding class built new holders for pole vaulting poles.

Last week, our Hilltopper Culinary class visited Libbey’s Meat Market for a behind-the-scenes look at meat processing and fabrication using locally sourced beef. Students gained valuable real-world insight into the industry while learning about smoking techniques and meat preparation. As an added bonus, the visit took place on Taco Tuesday, and students enjoyed brisket tacos prepared by the market staff—a delicious way to connect classroom learning to the finished product.

On Monday evening, we held our last Dorm Chapel for the year. The night ended with the seniors leaving Fuller Hall surrounded by proctors and their fellow students. Photos from the night can be viewed here.

Students in Dr. Vorhies’ AP Chemistry class used red cabbage as a universal indicator and a variety of solutions with different pH values to make a rainbow of test tubes.
