We Never Let Our Schooling Interfere With Our Education A student's education can come from sources other than by lessons taught within classroom walls; the Concert-Lecture Committee planned some excellent presentations this year that exemplify this statement. These presentations were learning ex- periences that students enjoyed par- taking in. Mime Keith Berger appeared on campus and entertained his way into everybody's heart. He surprised quite a few students with his unscheduled antics in the cafeteria, and delighted others who were interested in miming by conducting a mime workshop the afternoon before his performance. By evening, the sell-out crowd was psy- ched for his show. Keith displayed amazing athletic, dramatic and mim- icking skills in his one-man show. His performance was excellent, and he, himself, appeared as great a person as an artist. Another exciting event was a piano concert given by Cecile Licad, a sev- enteen year-old native of the Ph ill i- pines.

Hypnotist James Mapes was another special personality who shared his tal- Cecile's aura is present with her even when she's not at the piano. ents with WMC's students. Mapes de- lighted his audience by giving them all a number of exercises to do. He also worked with individuals in the audience throughout his performance; . this fascinated everyone. Mapes illus- trated such work as through: the pow- ers of imagination, the power of per- suasion, and age regression. His show delighted everybody. So, when books close, students are not ending their learning for the day, but just beginning it in a different manner. Students never allow their schooling to interfere with their edu- cation. 28
