TAM's Great Debate!

Political tensions ran high as the TAM seniors squared off to debate some of the most significant issues of the day:

1) Lowering the drinking age to 18

2) Allowing the use of illegal drugs for medical purposes

3) Should public areas be declared weapon-free zones?

After several weeks of research, the girls presented their conclusions in a series of debates, and then used that information as the basis for in-depth research papers.

The students did an excellent job of researching, defending and rebutting the proposals. They later commented on how valuable and informative the debates were in helping them forumulate intelligent and cogent opinions.

Save the Date! Sunday, February 13, 2011 Anastazia, It's a Mystery

She may be lost.... she may be history... but TAM returns her once more, in all her glory...on stage!

The story of the lost duchess Anastazia has intrigued researchers ever since her empty grave was discovered alongside the graves of the rest of the royal family in the midst of the Bolshevik Revolution.

Her grandmother searched for Anaztazia for years, clinging to the hope that she would be found. Many stepped forward claiming to be Anastazia - all to no avail.

Then, out of nowhere a young women declared herself to be the lost Duchess - but with no way to prove her identity. Thus, begins Anastazia, the story of a young woman's journey to find her true destiny.

Preparations for this year's production are in full swing. Mrs. Lisa Hiller will direct, with music by Mrs. Sarah Frank.
