Teachers finish up for the year today after turning in grades. Classes don't resume until late August or early September. The school calendar for the coming year has not yet been established. Of course, that's the last thing on the mind of the students, who will be filing up local pools, going to camp or hitting the road for family vacations in the coming weeks.

Artistic Smash Neither pop nor abstract art is this pattern in a hallway window at Allen School. The pattern is in broken tempered glass, caused by a thrown stone which ricocheted off the school's brick wall into the pane. The variety of tempered glass, plus an installation process which fits windows into frames in an extra-snug fashion, caused the unusual pattern. The broken glass, in the southwest hallway of the school, has been replaced.
