Morin and the two began a Charleston-like dance across the room as their students dance in their seats. Schulz executes a handstand as Morin grabs her legs. She wraps her feet around his neck and clasps his knees with her hands as he begans to spin quickly around to the swing music playing. When Jessica L. Ross ’03, the actress playing Schulz (who, like Morin, is a character based on a real Physics...
