Good Vibrations
Just one benefit of our close-knit campus? Cool planned (and impromptu) collaborations across disciplines! Last week, Physics with Kelly F. and Advanced Band with John met up in the Band Room for some sound wave exploration. Of course, Band started by serenading their guests, and then each class created waves visually and aurally – first with a large slinky on the floor, then with guitar and bass strings. (Pro tip: use the slow-mo camera function to capture this!) Using a mega tuning fork, they also listened to the modulation effect created by a small frequency gap.

The Stranger On Stage
French 5 students Jack J. '26 and Nate S. '26 recently read L'Étranger by Albert Camus, the 1942 classic set before and after a murder in French-occupied Algeria. Jack and Nate took the initiative to adapt the novel's oft-discussed penultimate scene between Meursault, the murderer, and a prison chaplain. Earlier this week, they presented a staged reading to an audience of students and adults, followed by a Q & A about the novels' themes.
