Bridge is a card game that helps develop problem-solving, social skills, teamwork and logical thinking. Studies show that students who play bridge practice math and reasoning skills and perform better on standardized tests than those who do not.

Dogs 20 Weeks+ Prerequisite: Basic Obedience or Instructor Approval Dogs have the ability to detect a scent one hundred thousand to a million times greater than a human. The new sport of Canine Nose Work teaches your dog how to use its nose to target specific scent sources and then alert.

This fun class taps into your dog’s powerful olfactory senses and drive to hunt. It builds confidence and exercises your dog mentally and physically. And, it’s all done in a positive way! Appropriate for any dog with a nose, but it is helpful if your dog is comfortable handling confinement in either a crate or a safe spot. Food or toy motivation and basic obedience skills are helpful. Limited space, so don’t wait.

Declared “the best novel ever written” and “a flawless work of art,” Tolstoy’s great work depicts “the folly of the senses,” an admirable woman debasing herself through an irresistible sexual passion, a tragedy countered by the innocent, inexperienced love of “Koysta” Levin for Princess Ekaterina (“Kitty”).

Cities in Movies James Keller Since the silent film era, film has made graphic use of cities for comedy, drama, and documentary. This film series takes us from Moscow in the early Soviet rule, to pre-Nazi Berlin, and to Rio de Janeiro for a modern version of the Orpheus myth. New York sings and dances. Politics is the business of Washington D.C. Fellini is a unique tour guide to Rome. Even Tokyo has small neighborhoods. Angels go unnoticed in Berlin. A tour of unknown London is narrated by the great actor Paul Scofield, and lastly, the cemetery of Pere Lachaise shows how lively and unique Paris is. Movies: Man with the Movie Camera, People on Sunday, Black Orpheus, On the Town, Advise and Consent, Roma (Fellini), Sans Soleil, Wings of Desire, London, and Forever.

✺ History of Civilization James Hadley

These popular multi-media lecture series provide a grand tour of European civilization. The lectures put the great creative accomplishments of the period in a context such that the connections between them and the history of which they are a part of may be understood. The visual arts, music, literature, and history are all here, treated from a thoroughly interdisciplinary point of view. Extensive use is made of slides, literary excerpts, and recordings.

Spring: The Italian Renaissance— Late Middle Ages–16th Century This multi-media lecture series covers Italian Civilization from the late Middle Ages to the 16th Century. Authors from Dante to Aristo, composers from Landini to Gabrieli, artists from Giotto to Titian, and personalities as diverse as St. Francis and Lucrezia Borgia are included.

Six of One Half a Dozen of the Other Movies of John Ford and Howard Hawks John Ford and Howard Hawks are considered to be the old masters of Hollywood movie making. In long careers, they showed themselves to be masterly storytellers and quintessential Americans in their energy and themes.

Ford forged his own visual country of the Western using Monument Valley. Hawks was equally at home in all genres: gangster, western, comedy, war, adventure, musical.

Movies (Ford): Prisoner of Shark Island, Young Mr. Lincoln, The Grapes of Wrath, They Were Expendable, My Darling Clementine, and The Searchers. Movies (Hawks): Scarface, Only Angels Have Wings, His Girl Friday, To Have and to Have Not, Red River and Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.
