As chairman of the music department and director of choral activities at Price Lab  School for 28 years, Dr. Les Hale set a standard for musical performance that his many students carried with them as they moved into careers as professional musicians or pursued other fields of study.  For over two decades he collaborated with Kenneth Butzier on many productions including Annie Get your Gun, South Pacific, Guys and Dolls and Fiddler on the Roof.  Hale and Butzier also collaborated on the Madrigal Dinners that featured the dramatic and musical performances of students from Price Laboratory School.

From the creation of the Beginning Reading Conference, to numerous curriculum projects, even helping with the teacher’s guide for the PBS show “3, 2, 1, Contact” and more, Joan exemplifies the mission of the lab school and the teaching profession.

As final preparations are made for this year's picnic and the formal dedication of the Malcolm Price Laboratory School Commemorative Plaza, we've chosen to highlight the man who was responsible for overseeing the 1953 move from the lab school's historical home in Sabin Hall to the new school on Campus Street.

You can read more details on the move to 19th and Campus, as well as Dr. Curtis' leading work in teacher education in this week's featured profile.

Modest. Humble. Self-less. These words rise first when one thinks of Paul Brimm, Lab School secondary principal from 1948 to 1964. However, they mask the core: the strong, courageous, and highly respected leader and his career.
