Professor Bruce was joined by several college students enrolled in the mechatronics curriculum that combines computer science, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering. Look for a complete article about this event in the May issue of Bell Notes. Thanks to Karen Selz for arranging this exciting program.

A packed house of students, parents, and faculty attended this fun evening. Attendees, as members of the "Academy," all got to vote for their favorites in several categories.
And this Tuesday during morning meeting, Kathryn Alexander and Gillian Knicely presided at the awarding of the "Oscars." Gillian, who took charge of the film festival, and Kathryn are both members of the Literary Club which sponsored the program.
