These Kids Are REAL Characters
Actors in “East of the Sun, West of the Moon,’ the Middle School play, learned to create all sorts of fantastic characters based on Scandanavian
legand. They even created individual masks, working with the stage manager, art faculty, and lots of papier mache to fashion believable
noses, warts, horns and other original features. Elena Herzen, Class of 2003 and a veteran of just about every aspect of Priory performing
arts, arrived home from college and immediately headed for the Priory to share her expertise with the younger students.
The Middle School theater photos were taken by parent Jennifer Hammer, who is pictured with her daughter, Ellie Oates, in the thumbnail photo on page 2.

Whitewater ahead!

The dorm students’ annual whitewater rafting trip caps a year of biking, surfing, kayaking, hiking, camping, and even the occasional cultural arts experience. It is all part of the dormers’ off-the-couch weekends that students and staff plan together. Faculty, staff and day students are invited to most of the day trips—and plenty of brave ones wouldn’t miss it.
