•A sampling of news: Paly sophomore William Lee won

the 2009 Congressional Art Competition for California’s

14th Congressional District last Saturday and his work

will be on display in the U.S. Capitol Building for a year.

He was encouraged to enter by his art teacher, Anna Eng,

who just retired. Drama teacher Kathleen Woods will lead

a Paly theater group to Scotland to attend and perform in

the Edinburgh Festival Fringe for the rst time from Aug.

4-17. Paly was one of 50 schools so honored. The musical

that Paly Theater students will perform at the festival iscalled “Young Americans.” It focuses on the role of music

in teenagers’ lives every decade since the 1950s. David

Rapaport’s history classes interviewed a Holocaust survivor

and have published a book and CD of her experiences. AP

Mandarin Chinese classes will be offered at Paly next year,

but without teacher Norman Masuda who retired.

•Proposals for a new media center, a new theater, a restored

Tower building and other improvements for Palo Alto High

School programs are underway after a $378 million school

bond passed during the June 2008 election. There will be

a new two-story building with classrooms for the media

classes and student publications. The new media center will

be built where the portables near the history and English

buildings are currently located.
