Climate Control
The OASIS heating, ventilation and air conditioning varies.
Considering the fluctuation of the temperature, as well as
everyone’s personal body temperature, we recommend that
members dress in layers.

• If you register for a class, please make a commitment

OASIS Etiquette
Here’s a refresher course on OASIS etiquette. Remember, part of one’s responsibility as an OASIS
member is to take seriously the pleasure of others, a responsibility fulfilled by quietly attentive (or
silently inattentive) and self-contained behavior.
1. Please no perfumes or hairsprays; many people are highly allergic to them.
2. Arrive on time to class and stay until completion. Arriving and leaving while the class is in session
is discourteous.
3. No food or drinks in the classrooms. Our volunteers do wonderful work, but cleaning up after you is
not part of their job description.
4. THOU SHALT NOT TALK while the instructor is speaking.
5. While learning about your health problems from the experts, remember to hold all questions and
comments ‘til the end of the lecture. Plenty of paper for taking notes and writing down those
questions will be provided.
6. Make sure cell phones and watch alarms are OFF.
7. The old standby: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

117 Navy Medicine Aboard the Ironclads –
Monitor, Merrimac, and More
Jan Herman, Military Historian, Department of Navy
If the historic battle between the ironclads USS
Monitor and CSS Virginia on March 9, 1862,
marked the beginning of the end for the wood and
sail navy, it also created a brand new environment
for medical practice at sea. The new “protection” an
ironclad warship provided was illusory; a new
generation of rifled guns that could pulverize
masonry forts did even worse to seamen enclosed
in an iron-sheathed hull. There were other hazards
to be endured and countless challenges to be met by
the navy physician/surgeon. Learn about the new
navy and the medical practice it spawned during
the Civil War.

leaders. Few Washington area residents know about

The Bible presents dreams as divine messages that

of the ancient Greek oracles, biblical dreams are not

vague or ambiguous. We will examine some biblical
dreams to see how close the biblical interpretation
was to the actual event and whether the
interpretation actually affected the event. We will
also apply modern dream interpretation in some
cases, to see if past events in the dreamer’s life can
explain his or her dream (without reference to the
outcome.) Bring an Old Testament to class.

are generally ignored today, and these parts are

Hildebrand as he employs harpsichord, Spanish

music was loved and valued by Franklin. Always
an advocate for the common folk, he wrote in
detail on the virtues of sentimental Scottish songs
and the advantages of popular broadside ballads
over formal opera as he experienced it in Paris and
London. Franklin composed comic texts to be sung
as drinking songs, such as “I Sing My Plain

One of the great romances of the art world was the
love affair between the Spanish master Francisco
Goya and the Duchess of Alba. Or was it? Perhaps
it was no more than a brief liaison, exaggerated by
historians throughout the centuries? We will
investigate this relationship through Goya’s

507 The War That Almost Didn’t End:
Ratifying the Treaty of Paris
John Blair, Writer, American 19th Century History
In Annapolis, on January 14,1784, Congress ratified
peace with Great Britain; this marked the triumph
of the American Revolution. Peace had not come
easily. A volcanic eruption, a snowbound assembly,
fear of renewed war, unconstitutional schemes for
ratification, a last-minute “save” by a delegate who
left a sickbedto vote, and a dash to Paris for the
official ceremony – all contributed to the exciting
end of America’s War of Independence. Thomas
Jefferson starred in this drama, and Benjamin
Franklin, as diplomat and scientist, wrapped it all
up. See Congress’s 1984 Proclamation of Peace,
written by Jefferson, in this fascinating
presentation.

Art & Architecture of the Middle
Ages – The Gothic Achievement
Judy Scott Feldman, Ph.D., Art Historian
This two-part slide/lecture series explores the world
of Gothic art and architecture, which embodied in
its beauty and variety the political, social, scientific
and spiritual forces that both shaped the later Middle
Ages and gave birth to modern Europe. Between
the 12th and 15th centuries, bishops, abbots and
kings competed to build ever taller, more exuberant
Gothic cathedrals using new engineering and artistic
techniques: pointed arches, ribbed vaults, flying
buttresses and stained-glass windows. Sculptured
church facades, stained glass and brilliantly
illuminated manuscripts combined stories from the
Bible, saints’ lives, and scenes from everyday life in
ways that manifested a Christian worldview newly
enthralled with nature. See classes 512 and 513.
512 The Gothic Achievement: Part I – Early
Experiments and Transformations
See the “birth,” in the 12th century, of Gothic art
and architecture in the early experiments at the
Abbey Church of Saint-Denis, Notre-Dame in Paris,

beyond. See how painters, sculptors and architects
created a new vocabulary of interior space, light,
color and storytelling in sculpture and painting to
evoke a singular goal: a vision of heaven rooted
both in heaven and on earth. Explore the role of
this art in the larger context of pilgrimage, prayer,
religious ritual, political ceremony and community

It’s not an exercise class – it’s a behavior change class.
In weekly meetings, you will explore and discuss strategies to fit physical
activity into your daily routine. A trained leader will help you find ways to add
activity – realistically - into your daily schedule. And you’ll learn to stay active
even when difficult life situations may arise. Active Living Every Day will help
you stay active for your lifetime!
May 12 - August 11, 11:00am - 12:30pm
Friendship Terrace, Washington, DC
September 3 - November 19, 10:30am - 12:00pm
Gwendolyn Britt Senior Center. Brentwood, MD
There is no fee for these programs.
For more information contact Marsha Weber at (301) 469-4960.
“I’ve learned I can be physical, a
little at a time,” says Jacqueline.
“Before this class I had difficulty
doing everyday things like grocery shopping. Now I can go
shopping, even after the class.”
Thank you to the Cafritz Foundation for making these programs possible.
