KARL KIMBALL TODAY

KARL KIMBALL IN 1974

Leave a Legacy New Hampton School trustee Karl Kimball ’74 recently made a provision for the School in his estate plan using life insurance. “I love the School. I feel it was the most profound educational experience I had, the most meaningful one, where I learned the most. I feel it is important to do what I can to be sure the School can sustain its mission long-term. This is my way to make a meaningful contribution in a very cost- effective way. “I needed to reset my life insurance program. In doing so, I increased the coverage I have for personal and business use. I decided to purchase a little more, to allow some of the benefit to flow directly to NHS. I made NHS a beneficiary of the total policy amount.” The generosity displayed by Karl has been shared by alumni, parents, and friends of the School who have made planned gifts and have thus been recognized as members of the 1821 Society. Whether it is a bequest, a life insurance designation, or a life income gift, you can help secure New Hampton’s future success.

We invite you to leave your own legacy. For more information on ways to support New Hampton School, please contact us. Sandy Colhoun scolhoun@newhampton.org 603-677-3413 www.newhampton.org/gobeyond

I chose the pictures of Pilalas and Randall because they really show how New Hampton School is moving along into the modern day with buildings and technology. I created this composite by overlaying two photos and slowly erasing one to expose the other picture behind it.” – Chris Pingree ’12

olf can serve as an appropriate metaphor for anything. So perhaps that is why I’ve chosen to tee off this issue with a note about the frequency with which we publish this magazine in print form. The layout of our course has changed. It’s been a while since you held it in your hand—a year in fact. As a self-proclaimed golf nut, I would never allow 12 months to go by before teeing it up, but communication, resources, and priorities change. So we’ve made an intentional move to actually provide alumni and supporters of the School with even better storytelling, and we will publish the Hamptonia in print only one time per year. As a former caddie who grew up working and playing at golf courses, I’ve had to adjust to the declining number of rounds in my life. Yet each time I tee it up, I relish the scenery, friendship, and meditation that it still provides. The game continues to provide inspiration and reﬂection. I see the same opportunity with this magazine. It’s a chance to embrace our one issue a year with an expanded and more comprehensive format. Hamptonia remains a wonderful

way to connect with folks who invest in New Hampton School, but we must also allocate resources in a diverse set of platforms and mediums (yes, young alumni live on social media). Those, like rounds of golf, take time, too. There are now so many ways to connect with your school and the stories of alumni, students, and faculty (past and present). We are thrilled to launch our online Hamptonia presence. Visit hamptonia.newhampton.org to ﬁnd articles, class notes, interviews, and exclusive-for-the-web stories. We want to be able to reach all our alumni on the web and also preserve our presence in print. There is something aesthetically pleasing and tangibly refreshing about holding a magazine, but we also need to provide our readers with the best opportunity to consume timely content throughout the year. We hope you enjoy this new feature. Q Will McCulloch Editor, Hamptonia Director of Communications wmcculloch@newhampton.org twitter: @willmcculloch11

The Menke Family (l–r): Anna ’12, Auden ’16, Andrew, and Jennifer

never thought the day would arrive. Jennifer and I recently took our daughter Anna, a member of the Class of 2012 and newly minted nhs alumna, to college. I could not believe the moment was actually happening. We were told many times that four years would pass with lightning speed, but we can barely comprehend that our oldest child moved into a college dormitory this fall. I must confess I was a basket case during Commencement as I placed a diploma in Anna’s hand. So many emotions—pride in her accomplishments, humility and appreciation for all that she has been given—as I watched her stride to the podium, share her parting thoughts with the class, and then graduate. Her growth here at New Hampton School has been extraordinary, and we are so very grateful for the many gifts that Husky Nation has bestowed upon her. Though I am of course “on the payroll,” I am an extremely satisfied customer with all the affirmation that comes from seeing my child benefit so completely from the environment I have endorsed over the last seven years. So as we gathered bedding and shower

caddies, filled out waivers and class schedules, and wrote our first big tuition check (we will miss tuition remission), I couldn’t help but reflect on the parallels between Anna’s evolution and New Hampton’s meteoric rise. As with her alma mater, Anna has become more confident and mature, and more steadfast in her beliefs and her identity. Her foundation is strong, yet she maintains a steady commitment to, even a passion for, her own evolutionary development. When she arrived at New Hampton School in the Fall of 2008, an almost painfully shy 15-year-old, had someone told me that she would earn an IB diploma, serve on Student Council, speak regularly at School Meeting, participate in a theatre production, or sing in the talent show, I would have thought they had my daughter confused with another student. But this was her experience. In similar fashion, when New Hampton School adopted a vision to become a national innovator and set its sights on a mission to cultivate global citizens, few could have imagined that in short order nhs would gain accreditation as New England’s first International Baccalaureate Diploma Program

There is no greater gift Anna received in her four nhs years than

this growth mindset. boarding school, adopt over 40 new courses, introduce a 1:1 iPad Program, raise over $40 million, invest $15 million in physical plant improvements, and redefine our market position—resulting in more interest than the School has ever seen! New Hampton, your school, has achieved unprecedented health. From program to pedagogy, from the balance sheet to the boardroom, Husky Nation is on a roll! And thankfully, my own child’s graduation reminds me why we do what we do. Life is often full of paradoxes, and Anna’s progression to college reinforces this reality. One to which I subscribe is that the only true constant in life is change. Despite times when I have wished to freeze singular moments with my daughter, she, like the School, is and must be on the move, constantly shifting, both as a result of intentional effort and response to environmental factors. While there are many enduring elements—values and routines that characterize the nhs experience—fundamental to preparation for college, and more importantly for life, is the capacity and appetite for change. This dynamic, the balance between stability and advancement, has been central to the development of our evolutionary and innovative culture and essential to our progress over these last few years. There is no greater gift Anna received in her four nhs years than this growth mindset. There is no question that this ethic, imbued by the example of so many passionate and curious adults in our community, will be a central catalyst in her life as she makes her way through university study and into the professional world. Among the seven skills Harvard professor Dr. Tony Wagner—a national leader of curricular development and keynote speaker for this year’s opening faculty meetings—lists as critical for students in the 21st-century are agility, adaptability, initiative, and entrepreneurialism. And herein lies the paradox. Though traditional proficiencies such as reading for comprehension, writing persuasively, and inductive and deductive reasoning remain critical to a student’s success in the college classroom, a new, refined set of skills must accompany the more conventional competencies as the world has grown more interconnected and interdependent. Critical thinking and problem solving; collaboration and leadership; accessing and analyzing information; and curiosity and imagination are imperatives.

From the refinement of nhs’s Foundations of Learning to partnership initiatives with Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, to the piloting of online courses and 1:1 iPad program, to the reintroduction of project period, we are working to imbed the skills and habits that will help students succeed in college and find fulfillment in their lives. As I travel the country and the world, visiting with parents and alumni (I now have one I proudly call my daughter!) of every generation, I am often asked how we have sustained such positive improvement over the last seven years. My response is always the same; that we are building on a strong legacy of creativity and innovation, and we have faculty and staff who believe in the mission of educating lifelong learners and cultivating global citizens. Our faculty is committed to asking each day how we can get better and then contributing to our relentless drive to advance the School. This climate, the culture of continuous improvement, is what sets us apart and inspires us to question all that we do with intention— we do things because they are the right things to do, not because we did them that way yesterday, last week, last month, or last year. As an educator and a parent, I appreciate this attitude. It will help New Hampton School to stay strong and vital in the years to come, and serve Anna well as she enters the next exciting stage of her life. Q

ENGLISH FACULTY BETH GROSART WINS O’CONNOR TEACHING PRIZE AND PUBLISHES ESSAY IN COLLECTION BETH GROSART had a busy year. As the sixth-year faculty member in the English Department accepted the second-annual O’Connor Excellence in Teaching Prize (established by Ralph S. O’Connor 4 ’ 4) at Baccalaureate, Grosart was overcome with emotion. She not only was accepting a prize that honored the craft of teaching and mentoring, but she was also putting the ﬁnishing touches on a year that included the publishing of a deeply personal essay. “The award was emotional because nominations come from students. To know that you’ve made an impact on kids you work with every day is meaningful and emotional,” says Grosart. “And they have to write an essay to nominate you— which is a huge compliment.” Throw in graduate work on her second Master’s Degree—this one an MFA in Creative Writing a Pine Manor College—and a new gig as the Student Activities Coordinator, and Grosart was grappling with more than just the end of-the-year emotions. “I felt that this was a crazy year— I was constantly moving all year,” Grosart says. “So it was nice to feel that in all the running around I did some good things and helped kids have a positive year.” Raised in Marion, Massachusetts, where she attended Tabor Academy before earning degrees at Tufts University (B.A. in English), and the University of St. Andrew’s Scotland (M.A. Writing), Grosart certainly enjoyed quality educational experiences. Nevertheless, her non-ﬁction essay “Abandoned But Loved” in Somebody’s Child: Stories About Adoption pulls back the veil of her charmed life as an Asian-American adopted child whose American par-

ents gave opportunity and love. The story reveals the reality of the life of an adopted child experience and untangles the mystery of Grosart’s birth mother. Her essay details her return to Seoul, Korea, in her 20s with her parents and brother, and the scene that plays out in the orphanage where she ﬁrst met them. It was the ﬁrst time she had traveled to the country since being adopted as a baby. Her experience and exploration into her past is harrowing and unexpected. “Having to write about your own experience makes you look at all perspectives beyond your own,” Grosart says. “What was my mother and father’s experience? It slows things down and makes you think about all the other things that were going on at the same time.”

Nearly two years after NHS became a leader in the exploration of using the Apple device as a tool in and out of the classroom, the School announced in the spring that it will expand its iPad Program and deliver the tablets to all New Hampton School students. “From iPads and Interwrite Boards to the use of Class Groups on the portal of our web site, technology integration has been a focal point of our eﬀorts,” says Head of School ANDREW MENKE. “As we push to best utilize these amazing tools, we do so to oﬀer support of innovative pedagogical strategies, all of which are in line with our mission to prepare students for lives of global citizenship." There is no additional cost for NHS families for the iPad. It is part of the annual tuition, which includes books and other necessities. Director of Technology Integration HANS MUNDAHL believes that the program will continue to evolve given that all students in every class will have the same tool. “An iPad for every student will help us enhance teaching and learning at New Hampton School in a way that is consistent with our core beliefs about education,” Mundahl

ronment: the relationship between the student and teacher.” New Hampton School began its iPad Program as a pilot in 2010 when the School gave iPads to all freshmen and some faculty members. The initiative was the result of a generous gift from the Class of 1960, which had the foresight to ignite the Pilot program with its support. After documented success, all faculty and ninth- and tenthgrade students utilized iPads during the 2011–12 school year. With a number of texts and class books being read on the iPad, NHS recognizes the advantages of Etextbooks. A curricular leader in tech integration, the School has attracted numerous visits from other independent schools to discuss technology integration with the iPad including Phillips Exeter and Buckningham Browne and Nichols. Mundahl, with the help of a number of NHS faculty, hosted an iPad Open House in March 2012 and two diﬀerent four-day, overnight iPad Teaching Training Sessions in July 2012. For more information about the iPad program, visit www.newhampton.org/iPad. Q

IPAD PROGRAM EXPANDS TO INCLUDE ENTIRE SCHOOL IN 2012–13 It is no longer a secret. When it comes to technology integration in the independent school classroom, New Hampton School is a leader. The buzz surrounding the NHS iPad program at conferences and professional development sessions around the country continues, and the initiative’s deliberate and intentional path has created yet another opportunity for celebration.

INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP: THE CLASS THAT HARNESSED THE WIND Why are the worlds of work and school so diﬀerent? That’s a question JUSTIN JOSLIN asked when he started teaching Introduction to Engineering two years ago. His students, he hoped, could start thinking like engineers if they used the design process to assemble robots, build bridges, or construct water ﬁlters. Two years and dozens of cool projects later the course would be considered a success by any measure. Yet Mr. Joslin still felt something was missing. “My students were developing real world design and building skills, but I also hoped they would could learn about entrepreneurship by raising capital and bringing a product to market,” Joslin says. The project he had in mind was an ambitious one, inspired by the all-school summer read The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind by William Kamkwamba. He wanted his class to construct a working wind turbine and write a book about it. But how do you raise the awareness (and capital) necessary to make the idea reality? The School could have funded the project from the science department budget, but what if it

Justin Joslin’s Introduction to Engineering class works on their wind turnbine.

were possible to use social media to teach entrepreneurship alongside the engineering curriculum? Enter Kickstarter, a new way to fund creative projects. Kickstarter is powered by a unique all-or-nothing funding method in which anyone can chip in to fund a project, but a project must be fully-funded or no money changes hands. A few days before graduation, the class watched their wind turbine generate electricity on a blustery spring day. The physical project was complete, and what made it all the more rewarding was the path the students took to complete it. “Our class is luckier than any other science class I have been in before,” wrote MATT MOULTON ’12 on the class’s Kickstarter page, where supporters could follow their progress. “The opportunity we have to create a working wind turbine for a ﬁnal project amazes me! We are learning about entrepreneurship by producing this Kickstarter page to raise money. If you promote your project it will get seen, and we reached our fundraising goal in a short few days and were ready to begin the project.”

BROWN DIRECTS AND COWRITES TABLE 12 The laughs popped out of McEvoy Theater for two nights in February with unparalleled regularity. The Winter Theatrical Production Table 12, like so many musicals and plays under the direction of faculty JOE SAMPSON and MEREDITH BROWN, have entertained audiences and showcased the diverse talents of NHS students. But Table 12 provided a twist. Unlike so many productions that feature NHS students speaking the lines of legendary playwrights like Neil Simon, Thornton Wilder, and Agatha Christie, Table 12 was written by faculty member Meredith Brown and co-author STEPHANIE SPAZIANO.

I had reached a time in my life when my summer was filled with weddings. Almost every weekend had some event that corresponded with someone’s impending nuptials. There are so many things that go along with being a wedding guest. I was a guest at a high school’s friend’s wedding and the conversation turned to what our table’s theme was. It spurred the interaction of the guests at the table and made it a little less awkward. Those moments in life when we are uncomfortable and have to deal with situations and people that are forced upon us are where we discover ourselves. Weddings are wonderful examples of those interactions. Almost everyone can relate to this kind of situation and see the humor within it. I thought this was perfect way to explore that. Did you have any reservations about producing it at NHS with young actors? I actually wrote the play keeping young actors in mind. I wanted to challenge our young actors and I fully intended to produce it as our winter show here at NHS. It was a little difficult getting

the students to fully understand the characters they were playing, as they have not reached that point in their lives yet, but they could relate to having to interact with people they don’t know and may not like. That is the beauty of theatre, you can relate to so much more then you have actually experienced. When that happens and actors really allow themselves to explore outside their familiarity zone it can be something amazing. This cast did a wonderful job of embracing and exploring their characters and then portraying them truthfully. Ten years from now these students will get a big kick out of this experience and fully appreciate the production. How did you go about the writing process and where did you get ideas? Stephanie and I worked through the summer generating ideas. She was getting married and was able to provide some interesting insight from that point of view. I would write ideas down at the weddings I was attending, even asking other guests I was sitting with for their thoughts. I pitched the play idea to almost everyone. Many of the stories in the play are inspired by people I was seated with at rehearsal dinners or receptions; family, friends, even the happy couple! Q

EPIC: JOHN MCENROE, BJÖRN BORG AND THE GREATEST TENNIS SEASON EVER MATT CRONIN ’81 John Wiley and Sons, 273 pages One of the most seasoned and knowledgeable tennis writers in the world, MATT CRONIN ’81 spent a year at New Hampton where his passion for tennis grew. Ironically, he enrolled in the School as the lights went down on one of the most unforgettable seasons in the history of professional tennis. It is the subject of his ﬁrst book, a tale that examines the contrasting personalities of John McEnroe and Björn Borg through the lens of the historic 1980 season. Cronin has covered the game for nearly 20 years and contributes to numerous media outlets, but this is his ﬁrst book. He pieced together a great one. His passion for the game, its characters, and the connections he makes between these two celebrity athletes during this memorable summer and what occurred culturally and politically during that era make Epic more than a tennis book. “It matters a great deal in 1980, in large part because part of the dramatic tennis played between

fierce competitors and polar opposites, but also because the world needs a diversion from increasing chaos,” Cronin writes. “It is McEnroe, defending American pride wounded by the seemingly unending hostage crisis in Iran and an Olympic boycott against the Soviet Union, against Borg, an island of stability in a Europe fraying at the edges as the Soviet Union begins to crumble.” Cronin picked two colorful characters on which to focus, and includes details and anecdotes that reveal an incredible amount of research. With the much-talked-about fourth set in the 1980 Wimbledon final providing a piece of athletic theatre that is difficult to match, Cronin builds a wonderful narrative around this moment in sports history. “At the start of John McEnroe and Björn Borg’s fourth-set Wimbledon tiebreaker,” Cronin writes, “Mariana Simionescu feels as if she is part of an opera, and is hoping that McEnroe isn’t playing the role of the phantom, dictating who is to sing the sweetest notes and who will conclude the performance.” He provides the reader with a trip down memory lane and an uncensored look into the world of pro tennis during all its wooden-racquet glory. Whether you are a passionate tennis fan or not, Epic is a book that should be on any sports fans’ list because of the simple fact that it’s more than wonderful match analysis and McEnroe rant anecdotes. Even without the access to the two subjects that writers certainly crave, Cronin uses all his tools and resources to paint the complex characters of Bjorg and McEnroe with a deft touch. He rallies the reader from start to finish for a straight-set victory for sports journalism. Q

FIVE QUESTIONS WITH THE AUTHOR Name: Matt Cronin ’81 HOMETOWN: Norwalk, Connecticut CURRENT RESIDENCE: Moraga, California FAMILY: Wife Patti, daughter Cassandra (19), son Connor (16), Chiara (12) CURRENT JOB: Columnist for Tennis Channel, a senior writer for Inside Tennis magazine, a frequent contributor to the wire service, Reuters, a reporter for Tennis.com, a regular contributor to USTA.com, a radio analyst at all the Grand Slams (the Australian Open, the French Open, Wimbledon and the US Open). My ﬁrst job in journalism was covering business and economy for a daily newspaper in Mexico City in 1987. TWITTER HANDLE: @Tennisreporters What is your favorite part of your job as a tennis journalist? Watching great matches and talking about them live, as well as developing strong professional relationships with some of the people that I cover. Describe the research process and writing process for the book. What was the highlight of your experience? Even though I was alive and following tennis during the years that I mostly wrote about—the 1970s through 1980, I still had to go back and read about everything that occurred during the period as it’s much diﬀerent to follow something as a fan than to actually have to reconstruct a period as a writer. I watched a lot of video of matches I needed to see again, as well as interviewing a variety of sources for a couple of 100 hours. The highlight of my expe-

rience after about three rewrites (and I hate rewriting) was having my editor finally say “this works.” How many years were you at NHS and how did it shape you with regard to tennis, life, and journalism? I spent one year at NHS as a PG, and I can honestly say it was one of my favorite years spent at an educational institution. I met a lot of great people, had some excellent instructors and despite being no fan of long winters, I really enjoyed the landscape. During that year, I contributed to a newspaper and literary journal (both NHS’s) for the first time and also played for the tennis team, so I suppose that for the first time that I began to mentally analyze the sport as a writer. Life-wise, I left the campus with much more self-confidence than when I arrived there. Do you have any more book ambitions? Yes, I plan to begin writing a book on modern women’s tennis in the next few months. What is the future of tennis in the United States? Very good on the women’s side as there are a lot of promising young players but questionable on the men’s as there are not any apparent stars on the near horizon.

One of the most poignant moments of longtime Green Mountain Coffee Roasters employee Rick Peyser’s Brewing Change: Behind the Bean at Green Mountain Coffee Roasters arrives with some questions. Never a sales guy purely focused on the bottom line, Peyser asked himself some tough ones and searched for answers when he became the company’s Director of Public Relations in the early 1990s. “Where did coffee come from?” Peyser writes. “How was it grown? Who were the people who grew it? What challenges did they face? To learn this I had to travel.” It was an examination that ignited a passion for the story of coffee and brought Peyser to a new place in his life as an advocate for the folks who struggle to produce one of the most treasured, yet takenfor-granted products in society: coffee. Peyser wanted an understanding “from tree to cup.” Written with Vermont Public Radio writer and commentator Bill Mares, Brewing Change peels back

the skin of the coffee industry while at the same time serving as a travelogue with Peyser as your guide. As much as it is a story of his career in an enigmatic industry, the book also documents the work individuals and organizations have done to make life better for the farmers throughout Central America, South America, and Africa. Peyser, an NHS Trustee, provides social commentary while never inserting himself into the story for aggrandizement sake. A critical figure in working for farmers in the coffee industry, he never applauds his various accomplishments. Peyser’s humble, quiet voice shines through while telling a powerful narrative. This is a man who didn’t call the shots from an office in Vermont. He got his hands dirty. Whether he was the Director of Public Relations, the Director of Social Advocacy—a position he assumed in 2006—or serving on multiple boards that fought for improved social consciousness in the business, Peyser met his subjects in their environment, listened, and observed. With a deep sensitivity, Peyser is able to share both wonderful and sad tales because he took the time to learn Spanish and became fluent in his 50s. It is a passion for lifelong learning and a curiosity that was on display when he was a New Hampton student in the 1960s, and led him on some interesting paths. It is no surprise that all of the author’s proceeds from the book will be donated to Food 4 Farmers (Food4Farmers.org), a non-profit organization co-founded by Peyser. Food 4 Farmers is dedicated to improving the lives of people in the Latin American coffee communities by addressing the problem of chronic seasonal hunger. Peyser has made it a career of making life better for others so it is no surprise that he continues to share resources as well as wisdom. Q

RUTH MCDONOUGH ’04: GLOBAL EDUCATOR AND ADVENTURER An Arabic teacher at Buckingham Browne and Nichols School in Cambridge, Massachusetts, since 2009, RUTH MCDONOUGH ’04 is a wonderful example for the students she teaches each day. A graduate of Swarthmore College with a degree in Religion and Peace and Conﬂict Studies (with a minor in linguistics), she began her career as an Arabic language teacher, and was also cofacilitator of the English Conversation/Literature Club at The New Vision Learning Center in Damascus, Syria. She studied at the Center for Arabic Studies Abroad, and most recently spent her summer as an ISLI fellow (Intensive Summer Language Institute of American Councils for International Education). Describe some of your travel to the Middle East. The ﬁrst few times I

lived in the Arab World, I stayed with families and attended university classes ﬁrst in Amman, Jordan, then in Aleppo, Syria. I was so blown away by the richness and beauty of Syria and Syrian culture that I moved to Damascus days after graduating from college in 2008 with the help of a fellowship from CASA (the Center for Arabic Studies Abroad) to study Arabic at an advanced level. When my fellowship ended a year later, I moved to Boston to start teaching Arabic. I've spent each subsequent summer pursuing depth and breadth of Arabic cultural knowledge in Egypt, Morocco, and most recently in Oakland, California, where I began my masters in Teaching Arabic as a Foreign Language.

What was the highlight of your travel and how has it affected the way you look at the world and the way you teach? Intercultural exchanges (regardless of where they are had) are something I constantly seek to renew and deepen my perspective. One of the reasons I choose to teach Arabic is to provide my students with the skills to have meaningful interactions in the Arab World that will also renew and deepen their perspectives.

Festival in April and May. A native of Stratham, New Hampshire, Wade graduated from Sarah Lawrence College where he received the Stanley and Evelyn Lipkin Prize for Playwriting. He is also the author the one-act musical for young audiences, Posy Josephine and the Mermaid of Inkblot Lake, and Brick by Brick (book and lyrics), a fulllength musical based on the works of Edgar Allan Poe. In 2008, Wade co-founded Private Ear Audio Theatre and was the head writer of its recurring series, The Smoker. Wade, who recently finished the first draft of his latest full-length play, LAiR, reflected on his most recent play, Scheme of the Super Bullies, in a Portsmouth Herald story: “This play has a playful, silly sense of humor,” says Wade, who is also a tutor for Kaplan Kids. “It is full of catchy, fun songs you can sing along to. Children love to fantasize about being superheroes and having powers, and in this play they do. The children are the heroes and the only adult character ends up relying on them to save the day. It’s special because I wrote it based on my students’ ideas, so it’s very much in touch with what children enjoy and look for in an adventure story.”

What do you love about the work you are doing now? Currently I am a contract photographer in New York City with The Wall Street Journal. It’s an amazing way to see the city.

Tell us about an exciting project you are involved in. At the moment I am working on a portrait project with a friend and fellow editor, Kristen Joy Watts. It is called “The Weight of Objects.” It is a diptych project pairing items that participants have a story and affinity towards, and their portrait. I am very happy the way the project is progressing. We have been publishing for almost one year, and will continue with a book in mind as the end product. My goal is for the portrait and object photos to play off each other’s strengths, through light, composition, and mood. And the stories that Kristen is helping to distill really makes the project sing. How do you balance the journalism and artistic aspects of your craft? Shooting film plays an important role for me. The majority of my journalism work is done with digital cameras as I can file an assignment 10 minutes after completing it. With film, the turnaround is much slower.

SPORTING ALUMNI LONG DING ’08 Ding flirted with a professional football career this past spring when he was invited to the NFL’s Jacksonville Jaguars minicamp. A placekicker, Ding wrapped a stellar two-year career at Norwich University after two standout years at Dean College. In his senior year, the native of Qing Dao, China, led his team in scoring with 73 points, went 13-for-16 on field goal attempts with a long field goal of 51 yards, and also averaged 47.4 yards per punt and had two touchbacks. Ding connected on four field goal attempts, three of which were over 40 yards long, in five tries for the South team during the Players’ AllStar Classic game in Little Rock, Arkansas. It was his second postseason game appearance. He was on the roster for the D3 All-Star Classic in December. PATRICK SAUNDERS ’08 Saunders was a two-year captain of the Princeton Men’s Basketball team during one of the most compelling eras of the program’s storied history. He arrived into a program that lingered around .500, and with a solid core of players, helped the Tigers to an Ivy League Championship in 2011 and a berth in the NCAA Tournament. Saunders started in 92 games in his career, including the final 28 of his senior season. Now studying at the University of

Vermont in preparation for medical school, Saunders had eight doubledigit scoring games in his final season, five of which came during Ivy play. He also scored double digits in six of the last eight games of the season. A player who fit perfectly in the Princeton system, the 6'8" Saunders was an exceptional outside threat who also rebounded well and found his teammates throughout his career in the Ivy League. KAYLA DIBARI ’08 Despite two major knee surgeries during here four-year college lacrosse career at Division-I Holy Cross, DiBari led the team with a career-best 15 assists in her final season.

DiBari tallied 29 goals and 21 assists for 50 points. BEN BREWSTER ’08 Brewster wrapped a four-year soccer career at the University of Richmond, where he competed against the top players in the nation while playing at the Division-I level. In addition to a sophomore season in which he was the Spiders’ third-leading scorer, he appeared in 17 of 18 games for the Spiders as a senior, starting seven of those matches. Brewster, who grew up on the NHS campus and is the son of faculty member Rosemary Brewster, recorded an assist in an overtime victory over Massachusetts. ANNALISA DREW ’11 A gifted athlete, Drew enjoyed an incredible ski season after graduating from New Hampton, competing in halfpipe and slopestyle. Balancing online classes at

FERGUSON the University of Maine with a career as a touring athlete, Drew enjoyed unprecedented success and is an athlete to watch for the 2014 Winter Olympics. The Andover, Massachusetts, native is ranked fifth in the Association of Freeskiing Professionals Overall World Rankings and earned nine podiums last year. DYLAN FERGUSON ’06 A lastminute bout of appendicitis kept Ferguson out of the 2010 Winter Olympics despite making the team. Still, the 2014 Olympics are approaching and he is slated as a favorite to lead the United States’ chance in aerial skiing. Ferguson enjoyed a breakout year in 2012, earning his first career World Cup podium at Deer Valley. It was the first two podiums in three weeks.

byron waluco maheia ’14 from punta gorda, belize 5 football, basketball, baseball, music production, house proctor 5 family ties: younger sister, bianca, class of 2016 how would you describe your school to friends at home? It’s a great, diverse institution of learning known for the academics and athletics. The facilities and the community are so diﬀerent than what we have at home. The community here is great. It’s like a family. It has not been hard for me to ﬁnd friends. I came here and by the second day I had both American and international friends. what is your favorite class? Music Production because I improved and gained a new passion for music and rapping. how has your new hampton experience affected you? New Hampton has challenged me to become a more independent and mature individual. what are your career ambitions? At this point I am not fully sure, but I am thinking about becoming a psychiatrist. describe a healthy risk you took at new hampton. A healthy risk I took was getting involved in American football, a sport I was never exposed to in Belize. It impacted me by allowing me to be more disciplined and pushing me mentally and physically. who is your favorite teacher? My favorite teacher is Maura Lane, my Biology teacher this past year, because I fully understood Bio compared to last year in Belize. The work was explained better, and since it’s boarding school, I could talk to her at any time. She gave me good advice when it was needed, and kept me on track when I was being led astray. F

reunion 2012 reunion weekend was a big hit! over 250 alumni and faculty (current and former) braved the rain and returned to campus for a festive and fun-ﬁlled weekend at New Hampton School. The Class of 1962’s 50th Reunion Dinner on Friday evening (June 1) at Smith House was a trip down memory lane for all, while the Manitou Circle Breakfast on Saturday morning brought over 60 together to share stories and catch up with T. Holmes “Bud” Moore ’38. The Class of 1972 had almost 40 classmates back and the Class of 2007 had over 30! Despite the rain on Saturday, runners explored the town in a 5k Road Race, and the Men’s Alumni Lacrosse Game took place on Kennedy Field. The introduction of “Back to School” (class offerings) was well-attended, and provided fantastic insight to life in

the classroom at nhs today. Saturday evening’s Reception and Program was moved from the tent on Kennedy Field to the Dining Hall to provide a dry venue for alumni and faculty to pose for Class Photos, dine on a delicious meal, celebrate, and dance to the dynamic band, “Without Paris.” Thank you to the Reunion Volunteers for rallying your classmates and bringing many back over the weekend. Your efforts helped to ensure a successful Reunion 2012! Additionally, a huge thanks to all who made the trek back! Reunion Weekend is a special time for New Hampton School.

The School lets you be you. New Hampton has always concentrated on the positive aspects of its faculty and students, understanding that people are not perfect. There also have been many changes. A shift from a concentration of athletics to a more academic approach. We are attracting more academically minded students so I have raised the bar in my classes. what do you like most about teaching here? aw: I appreciate the professional learning community. I love the fact that we are expected to change and grow as teachers. I am always looking for ideas and strategies to make my curriculum stronger. I like the challenge to use technology as a learning/teaching tool. What makes it all worthwhile, is my relationships with my students and advisees. how is the international baccalaureate program? rb: I believe that the IB does a wonderful job making students take a more holistic view of the earth. We look at case studies from around the world and the pros and cons of human action. aw: The IBâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s emphasis on intercultural understanding and respect matches the mission of global citizenship. We compare and contrast themes and ideas in cultures throughout the world and make personal connections. As a result we are moving towards a school culture that is not only more disciplined, but open and compassionate. F

where are they now?

When people ask you what you do, how do you describe it? I work in digital media. While broad, that sums it up. In the most practical sense, I work to put the world’s best content on the world’s screens. In my latest role, I did this for Yahoo. What was the best part of starting Associated Content? The best part was building a very powerful media company but doing it in what was a completely new way—by way of participatory media. It was one of the web’s ﬁrst successful and meaningful crowd-sourcing efforts.

with the Silicon Valley giants, Beatty is hatching his next move.

Former faculty member Luke Beatty ﬁlled the last 15 years since leaving central New Hampshire with a variety of experiences. His venture into the startup world in the time in between two years at nhs and two years at Yahoo paved the way for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Beatty founded Associated Content in 2005, a company that brought all forms of content together in an online community, a place where users could share news, opinions, video, photos, and expertise. In 2010, Yahoo purchased the online publishing startup and Associate Content became Yahoo! Voices. Beatty became a VicePresident at Yahoo. After two years working

With whom do you stay in touch? I stay in touch with many students and faculty members from back in the day. On the faculty side, I stay up to speed with Chris and Cynthia Day, Mike Flaherty, Chris Hawk, Matt Stewart, Kimberly Sherman, Derrick Nelson, Dean Gardner, among many others. I have had the privilege of passively connecting with dozens of ex-students through Facebook and have met up with many students in my travels, including David Greer ’97, Awvee Storey ’97 and Rafael Vidauretta ’97.

What are your fondest and funny memories of your time at New Hampton? My fondest memories were definitely built around Draper mayhem. Chris Hawk, DJ Glusker, and I had the school’s oldest kids in our dorm and it took every last fiber of our souls to keep that place from erupting. On a couple of occasions, I’m quite sure that it erupted regardless. Those kids were great, and when I think about the secondary school experience, I think that Draper personified that. It was authentic. It was real.

Describe the experience of working at Yahoo? Scale. I had the good fortune of being able to run some of the biggest media properties in the world, like Flickr for example. The sheer number of users, photos, and consumers on a site like that is really mindblowing. When you see the traffic passing through a site like that, it is astounding. What do young people coming out of school need to know about the job market and tech world? Students need to know the benefits of getting trained in a skill. While vocational education has fallen by the wayside, it should not be lost on folks that getting trained to perform a skill, like programming or design, has true value than can translate into work immediately. While I’m a product of a liberal arts education, I do think that direct skill training is a huge, huge value. What are your passions outside of the office/tech world? I like to mentor new startups and entrepreneurs. Outside of that, I’m dedicated to raising two little boys and like when I was working at nhs, I am known to sneak away to go fishing whenever possible. What’s next for you? I am finishing up my two-year stint at Yahoo now and am trying to cook up my next endeavor, likely in digital media. Someday, I will get back into teaching and coaching. I wonder if there’s an open faculty apartment in Draper? F

memories

Foggy Memories of the Berry Bell by Carter Haff ’57 very time i return to new Hampton School, I like to pay my respects to “The Bell,” which now is located outside of the Memorial Dining Hall. During my freshman year, I found out how important The Bell really was. It was located on top of the white trellis structure on the front of the Berry Hall entrance porch, which was open at the time. The Bell was on the outside of the third floor dorm windows. It controlled much of the daily schedule. It woke us up in the morning, gave us notice of first call to breakfast, first call to assembly (in the theater in the basement of Meservey), first call to class, start and end of each class, end of first class, lunch, afternoon classes, dinner, and lights out. AND…someone had to ring it! My sophomore year, I got up-close and personal with The Bell. I was a bell ringer, along with my roommate, Dick Lowell ’57. I believe we even got paid for doing it. I was the last person who could afford to leave class early and arrive at the next class late. Dick and I would alternate days. The Bell had a rope attached to the top and ran through a groove in the windowsill. I forget how many times we were supposed to ring it each time. The local townspeople must have loved it! Of course, there were countless pranks dreamt up by some of the more creative New Hampton students. Though it was fifty-five years ago, I still can remember the tale I call “The Frozen Clapper Caper.” At night the temperature regularly would dip to thirty degrees below zero. All a student or group of students would have to do was crawl out on the trellis, turn the bell upside down, fill it with water, let it freeze, and then return it to its regular position. The idea being that the students that depended on the bell would get to sleep in! I honestly don’t remember how they unfroze the bell with the temperature usually remaining below freezing a

good part of the winter. Of course, the bell ringer pretended to be asleep! The second prank occurred in my senior year. A dark colored string was tied around The Bell clapper, and then, run through the trees, across the road, to a second story window in Draper Hall. Late at night The Bell would mysteriously start to ring. The first person out the door of Berry was Mr. Madan (a Biology teacher who lived in Berry). Of course, by this time, the bell had stopped ringing and he went back to bed. About ten minutes later, The Bell rang again. This time the bell ringer’s light went on, and after some discussion, the lights all went out. Again The Bell would ring. This happened one or two more times until all the lights were on in Berry and Mr. Madan had most of the students from Berry out on the front lawn, with Mr. Madan looking at The Bell, which would still ring with no discernable person ringing it. Everyone was on the front lawn. At that time, the string was pulled hard, broken and reeled in

across the street at Draper. The guys over in Draper were enjoying every minute of the whole thing. (It might be mentioned that the bell ringer’s brother that year was one of the guys reeling in the line.) If I remember correctly, the consensus was that it was a pretty good prank. I don’t remember the repercussions from the administration, if any! I’m sure there are many more stories from bell ringers from the past. I don’t know when the bell was decommissioned, and bell ringers put out of work! I do know it’s fun to think back on those days. r Do you have a New Hampton School memory for publication in the next Hamptonia?

Draft 6 (05NOV12)

Noah Vonleh ’13, pictured with ball, is regarded as one of the top recruits in the nation. At 6-foot-8, Vonleh is one of the most versatile players in the high school game and is narrowing his list of schools with Syracuse, Ohio State, Indiana, Georgetown, North Carolina, and UConn all possibilities.

FOR MORE THAN 25 YEARS, basketball games in the packed tiny New Hampton gym have been a constant on the campus, a feature attraction that builds community and school spirit on icy nights in January and February. Throughout New Hampton’s long history as an educational institution, basketball has always been a salient aspect of the athletic program, but it wasn’t until 1983 that the men’s basketball team vaulted into an elite class with the vision of then-coach Whit Lesure and the blessing of then-Headmaster Lou Gnerre. Sure, Ron Norwood ’72—an NBA draft pick who will be inducted into the Athletic Hall of Fame this November—is close to the top of the list of the School’s best players of all time, but the rest of that list is dominated by alumni from the last 25 years or so when the basketball program was a must-stop destination for coaches from most every major college program in the country. The legacy of basketball excellence (six NEPSAC titles) and the quality of the players in the gym has created an unlikely juxtaposition with the tiny village tucked between Newfound Lake and Lake Winnipesaukee. Nevertheless, whether it was Lawrence Moten ’91, Darius Songaila ’98, Rashad McCants ’02, or Bernard Robinson ’00, there have been numerous players who have gone

on to incredible college and pro careers and others who have honed their skills in preparation for impactful academic and basketball experiences at Princeton, Lafayette, Harvard, Dartmouth, Williams, Swarthmore, the Naval Academy, and more. As another school year and season begins, sixth-year head coach Pete Hutchins ’01 attempts to piece together a cohesive squad as predecessors Whit Lesure, Mark Tilton, Derrick Nelson, and Jamie Arsenault did before him. New Hampton has evolved in a variety of ways in recent years, but the sound and feeling in the gym remains tied directly to the past. College coaches will flock to gym on autumn nights to watch Noah Vonleh, a top recruit in the Class of 2013, and other current Huskies work out and play. Though the program continues to develop student-athletes who are ready to play at the next level in front of 25,000 fans, there is ample proof that the basketball program is producing something even more important: leaders in the game. Six graduates of the School hold highly visible leadership positions. Four of those former players are head coaches in Division I men’s basketball (hard jobs to land with only 346 available) and two other graduates are a General Manager and Team President for NBA organizations, respectively. In the six profiles/interviews in the following pages, these six graduates share tidbits from their journeys, insight into their jobs, and reflection on their time at New Hampton. As with the atmosphere in the gym during Husky basketball games throughout the years, there is a consistency in the tone. They share a distinct experience and a passion for the game, and now find themselves thinking about many of the same things. r

TAKING THE LEAD

CHRIS WALLACE ’77 HOMETOWN: Buckhannon, West Virginia RESIDENCE: Memphis, Tennessee POSITION: General Manager and VicePresident for Basketball Operations, Memphis Grizzlies One of the most compelling stories in NBA management, Chris Wallace graduated from New Hampton School in 1977 after a postgraduate year in which he ran cross country and played basketball. After three selfdescribed uneventful years at the University of Kansas, Wallace took an out an $18,000 loan in 1981 and began a nascent basketball publication called the Blue Ribbon Basketball Yearbook. As with Bill James’ Baseball Prospectus, the made-in-the-basement Blue Ribbon garnered a devoted following for its insight and evaluation of burgeoning basketball players. It aﬀorded Wallace an opportunity to work with grassroots basketball pioneer and then-sneaker company representative Sonny Vacarro at the Nike AllAmerican camp. With his basketball life evolving with each passing year, Wallace seized an NBA entry opportunity in 1986 when he landed his ﬁrst gig with the Portland Trailblazers. It was followed by stints as a scout, Director of Player Personnel, and two jobs as a General Manager (Boston Celtics 1997–2007; Memphis Grizzlies 2007–present). Though he only spent one year at New Hampton, Wallace sees it as a transformative experience that pushed him in a variety of directions. How did you end up at New Hampton? Nobody from my town went to prep school. No one in my family had a background in prep school—it was a foreign concept. I just found out about prep schools, and I didn’t

have a major I was set on or a college I was dying to go to. So I sold my Dad on sending me to prep school. We started well after Labor Day. So my parents drop me off, and I don’t know anybody and I’ve never been away from home. Now you’re in the real world. You’re off on your own. I never thought to think about the day-to-day existence of New Hampton and how small the town was. I was from a town of 8,000 but you could go to the store and get something to eat when you wanted. Describe your basketball experience at NHS? Your team went 14-10? It was a different New Hampton School. When I was there we were a hockey school. The emphasis in athletics was on hockey. Basketball was secondary. The thought that there would be four or five players in the NBA from the School in the next 30 years is astounding. It was a hockey school. We had guys who went on to smaller colleges, but I don’t think we had a Division-I player on the team. Did you come out of New Hampton with a better idea of what you wanted to do? I went to the University of Kansas majored in journalism, but I wasn’t involved in anything. I went there for three years, came and went, and you’ll find no footprints of me at the University of Kansas. One thing about New Hampton is that it did shape me a little career-wise. During project week I didn’t want to stay up there for a week before Spring Break, so I created an off-campus project in which I covered the NIAA small college basketball tournament in Kansas City. I ended up going to the University of Kansas because of it, but I also knew after covering my first game out there that I probably was

not going to be a sportswriter. That’s what I thought I was going to be. I didn’t like the dynamics of the relationships between the coaches and players and the writers. I could see that after one game. It was not a negative experience, but the project period ended up being useful because it showed me what I didn’t want to do. I could mark that oﬀ the list. What was the critical moment that helped you in the industry? I got a break out of others’ misfortune. In 1986, there was an NBA Draft that was littered at the top end with players who had issues (Len Bias, Chris Washburn). I was doing my magazine the Blue Ribbon Yearbook and also worked for Nike. We had a Nike All-American camp where we had the best players in the country coming and I’m helping to run that with Sonny Vacarro. In that 1986 draft, the Portland Trailblazers selected Walter Berry, a big named player in the heyday of the Big

East out of St. John’s. When the Trailblazers went out to visit him the day after the draft, things started falling apart. They were not happy with him. There was a negative impetus to try to do something diﬀerent. Their Vice President John Spoelstra—who was in charge of all the business, the father of the Miami Heat Coach Eric Spoelstra—had been purchasing my magazine in a large quantity, like 25 at a time. He just called me and wanted me to work for him. He wanted something out of the normal scouting thing in the NBA, someone who could get handle on the background of some of these guys. And so if you don’t have the issues in the draft that year, and the Blazers don’t have an issue with Walter Berry, then I maybe never entered the NBA. What kind of advice can you give folks getting into the Sports Industry? It doesn’t have as well-laid out career path as say if you go into medicine and law where it is very clear. Sports you have to look at it like a circle, and you have to ﬁgure out how to get inside the circle. No matter how entry level it may be—non glamorous or low-paying it may be. The old story about the guys who worked in the mail room at the entertainment agencies in Hollywood and ended up being President 20 years later. It’s that same concept. You have to get inside, take internships

when you’re in college. If you can’t get internships with pro teams, you need to work camps in basketball, work with an AAU team, at your college be your manager. Lawrence Frank, the coach of Detroit, was the manager at Indiana. Whatever sport is your passion, you need to get involved in it. You may just be laundering towels at a camp, but you need to meet people because it’s 100 percent a people business. It’s not a resume business. And so you have to go into your network of people and differentiate yourself. …You might come in as an intern, and you have to ace it. Whatever project, however mundane, however boring, you need to treat it like it’s your graduate thesis and make it happen with that project. You get little pieces of responsibility before they give you the whole enchilada of responsibility. That’s what a lot of young people I meet with aspirations to work in sports don’t understand. They say they’ll work for free and they want to sweep floors, but they’re bored after a week because they’re not the commissioner of the league. It takes a number of years to get recognized; you need to keep battling and grinding on a day-to-day basis and make sure you ace every test you take. How did the year at New Hampton prepare you for adult life? New Hampton was my first experience in the outside world. Sure, I’d traveled outside of West Virginia with my parents, but never outside the country. I’d never been around suburban kids from Boston and New York. It was a totally different world than I grew up in. There was a guy from Japan in the dorm. I’d never been around someone from another country. From a people standpoint—not a technical standpoint—I got my first exposure

on my own, away from family, away from my peers and town in a broader world and was able to survive and get a better sense of what’s going on in the outside world. That was important because the world I had to enter later on as an NBA Executive was global. It’s not the world I grew up in my hometown. When I first got to New Hampton, I said “when is this going to end?” What was I thinking choosing this path and living in this very small town that I can’t get out of except on a school athletic trip. I was 18 years old, used to hanging out with college kids, and now I’m living with all these rules they put on you and going to cross country meets within a week of enrolling and I wasn’t prepared for that. You can survive and make it, even though it looks tough at the time. And you’ll be surprised if you’re open-minded and embrace an experience where it can lead you. So by the second semester in the spring, I didn’t want to go home. I grew to enjoy New England and got a feel for that. I went into Boston—that was the first city I had gone to without my parents. I hitchhiked with some guys from school and also spent time there before I flew out for project period. I started reading the Boston Globe. So I didn’t want to leave by the time I left. I had a tremendous self-evolution from when I got there in September and when I left in May in terms of being more comfortable in the outside world and getting a real feel for a region I had no experience with. r

TAKING THE LEAD

ED COOLEY ’89 HOMETOWN: Providence, Rhode Island RESIDENCE: Providence, Rhode Island POSITION: Head Men’s Basketball Coach, Providence College A native of Providence, Ed Cooley is heading into his second year as the Head Basketball Coach at Providence College. He returned to his hometown to lead the Friars after five years as the Head Coach of Division-I Fairfield University in Connecticut, where his teams posted a 92-69 mark. Cooley became the first Fairfield head coach to guide the team to a .500 or better mark in MAAC action in each of his first five seasons. In 2009–10, he led the Stags to a 23-11 record and the team’s first post-season berth since 2003. He was the first recipient of the Ben Jobe Award, presented annually to the top minority men’s basketball coach in the nation. Prior to Fairfield, Cooley spent nine seasons as an assistant coach at Boston College where he worked tirelessly as a recruiter on the road, as a teacher of the game, and as a mentor to student-athletes. During his time in Chestnut Hill, BC advanced to five NCAA Tournaments and one NIT. Cooley also helped lead the Eagles to the 2001 BIG EAST Tournament title and three BIG EAST regular season titles in 2001, 2003 and 2005. Before arriving at New Hampton School in the Fall of 1988, he attended Central High School and earned two Rhode Island High School Player of the Year honors. Cooley was part of an overachieving New Hampton squad and helped lead the 1989 Huskies to a 20-6-1 record and a New England Prep School Championship with a 79-73 victory over St. Thomas More in the title game. Cooley returned to campus in May to speak at New Hampton’s 191st

magazine. Finished size is 11.0 inches tall by 8.50 inches wide.

Commencement and inspired graduates with his recollections of New Hampton and his unlikely admission process. “I did not let New Hampton tell me no,” Cooley explained. “I was trying to remember the name of the gentleman who was in the admissions oﬃce in that June of 1988 who said ‘sorry, no you can’t come.’ Three weeks later, I came back with an $800 check, a $3,000 check from the Narragansett Indian Council, and put it in their hands. I don’t know what the tuition was then and I probably still owe some money today and you know—I have it to pay it. I said ‘you’re not going to tell me no. I want to know who your boss is’ and that’s the truth. ‘If you say no, you’re crazy. I have nowhere to go. I don’t want to go to the Army or the Navy. I want to be special.’ Somehow I got into this school and it changed my life. This is a place that I love.”

Cooley returns to the gym on occasion to recruit NHS players, and memories tug at him as he recalls his time at New Hampton. “The journey of life for me really started here when this school gave me the opportunity to change,” he said to the 2012 graduates. “…I wasn’t fortunate to have my biological parents raise me day in and day out. The woman who dropped me oﬀ here died and I know she’s watching. She died in 2010. She said to me ‘go there, and become a man, don’t be a baby, change your life, and it did.’” How is the Big East game diﬀerent? The obvious answer is the level of play. The Big East is a little bit faster, taller, thicker, and stronger. You are recruiting pros in the Big East where in the MAAC you are trying to recruit really good Big East players. So it’s just level of play.

How is the new job different? It’s a lot different. This job is a little more corporate in terms of the demand on your time in terms of trying to build your brand. You do that at Fairfield, but it’s a little more magnified in Providence where you are one of the only shows in town with respect to entertainment and sport. So those are the things we deal with. You grew up in Providence, so how is it being back? It’s a dream. Growing up here and being a Friar fan and always wanting to go to a game, trying to get a ticket to a game, and sneaking into games, it’s truly a dream come true for me, and I feel honored that I’m part of something here. And I’m honored that I’m even the Head Basketball Coach. This place is truly home for me and a place where I fit. Did you always know that you wanted to coach? I wanted to be in a leadership position and obviously I started out in teaching. I always

say I like teaching, but love coaching. It’s a diﬀerent level of teaching. Your classroom is now the basketball court. Your classroom is now the locker room. Instead of having 28-30 students per class, you have 14 you have to monitor for the rest of their life, because I want to be a part of their life. Once you have players, what is the key in building team? First and foremost I want someone who ﬁts at Providence College and wants to be here. It’s like marriage; you don’t want to marry someone who has doubts. You want to marry someone who knows you’re his or her partner for life. And I want someone who is characterbased. And with that in mind, somebody who is talented enough to be here. Then you look for the intangibles. What are the intangibles that help you build a program? Pride, integrity, character, and guys who want to graduate. That’s who I want here.

What was it like to speak to the graduating class? I reflected with Billy my assistant coach on the way home about how New Hampton gives many young men and women the opportunity to change their lives, to continue their education, to grow up, to shape their life and give them a college experience. Then there are people you met like Mark Tilton, who is a central figure, and to have teammates come back… I grew up there. I was only there for nine months, but I always feel like I’m connected to the School. What are your memories from your basketball career at New Hampton? Winning the NEPSAC Championship at BU and beating St. Thomas More. I remember the Fork Union Tournament, driving all the way there together, and then we had to sleep on the floor of the locker room. It was really important as far as cultivating relationships with our players and staff. r

TAKING THE LEAD

CUONZO MARTIN ’91 HOMETOWN: East St. Louis, Illinois RESIDENCE: Knoxville, Tennessee POSITION: Head Men’s Basketball Coach, University of Tennessee Cuonzo Martin ’91 did not have an easy task last year. He finished his first season as the man in charge of the University of Tennessee Basketball Program, leading the Vols to a 1915 record. Martin, who took over for a beleaguered but successful Bruce Pearl, spent three years as the Head Coach at Missouri State after eight years as an assistant coach at his alma mater Purdue University. Martin’s playing career at Purdue was as steady as it was productive. He scored 1,666 points in 127 career games. The hallmark of his playing career was victories. Martin won Big Ten titles in each of his final two years, averaged 18.4 points per games as a senior, and was named to Dick Vitale’s AllDefensive Team. His professional career included brief stints with the Milwaukee Bucks (twice) and Vancouver Grizzlies, considerable time in the now-defunct Continental Basketball Association, and a season in Italy. With four knee surgeries on his medical chart, Martin knew his professional career would not be a long one. “It was a bonus to play in the NBA, just to have the opportunity and to put the jersey on,” he says. The knee problems were not the only adversity he faced, though. He later survived a bout with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma at the age of 26. Martin—who graduated from Lincoln High in East St. Louis—arrived at New Hampton with some uncertainty and left with wonderful memories. Despite playing at what former coach Mark Tilton describes as 60 percent

most of the season because of his knee, Martin helped the Huskies to a 23-3 record with all three defeats coming to Maine Central Institute, and played alongside one of the finest NHS squads, which included Lawrence Moten ’91 (Syracuse), Kenya Hunter ’91 (Duquesne), and Jose Ocasio ’91 (Merrimack) among others. How would you describe your New Hampton experience on and off the court? I was never 100 percent because I was coming off a knee surgery, but they gave me an opportunity. Rarely will you take a guy who is not 100 percent. It was a great year, just being in the state of New Hampshire coming from East St. Louis. It was one humbling and two, a blessing. I’m forever grateful to Coach Tilton and Coach Lesure for giving me an opportunity. …Everyone was so genuine. They never saw color and they embraced me as an individual. I like how they treated everybody and me across the board. Having that opportunity taught me so many things about life in general—take away the basketball part—there were so many things I learned from a life skills standpoint. You played for a lot of great coaches—what did Tilton and Lesure leave you with from that perspective? Coach Tilton and Lesure taught me that you can have fun and coach. They had a great ability to relate to players, regardless of background. They got on you, but they did it without breaking your spirit and confidence. You could tell they had passion for what they were doing.

does everything in her power to always shine it in a good light. What are short- and long-term goals for your program? You want to have a consistent program. One thing you always want to do is consistently be in the NCAA tournament. That’s a goal for our program. Now we have to work toward that goal and do the right things on and off the court to reach that goal. How is the job change treating you? When you’re coaching the game, it’s all the same from a coaching standpoint. You have to get the best players you can get to win ballgames and quality student-athletes—that’s very important. It’s an adjustment going from the mid-major level to this level because of the fan support throughout the state. Everyone in the state of Tennessee, especially Knoxville, is all orange. It’s big orange country. But for me it’s just doing the job and doing the job to the best of my ability. That’s how I look at it. How has it been adjusting to the media? When you have been in sports so long the media scrutiny comes with the territory whatever level you’re at and if you get caught up in that, it’s an uphill battle. So for me that’s not a big concern. What has been the biggest highlight? I think personally getting guys to compete and finishing strong as a team this past season. We got off to a very slow start. To be able to finish strong was great to see.

What skills did you bring into this position? It’s the same philosophy I learned as a player and as an assistant coach at Purdue University for eight years under Gene Keady and Matt Painter and things I took with me to Missouri State. It’s your blueprint, it’s what defines you, and what your program is built on, and I was not about to change a whole philosophy, scheme because I went to a new program. How did you get guys to buy in? Anytime there is change, it’s not easy thing because kids have a different style and a different ways of doing things. You make adjustments, figure out the lay of the land, and go from there. What have you learned from Pat Summit (recently retired women’s coach) and being around her? I think it was a great opportunity just being around her, and I got a little more insight because her son was a part of our team as a walk-on. She’s just a very nice, genuine person who cares a lot about the program, the university, and the state of Tennessee and

What was the toughest part of the transition? Getting guys to understand early in the season the level we had to play at and how hard we needed to play and to compete at all times. We had a lot of talented guys but unproven guys—who hadn’t played a lot of minutes at this level. How did all your injuries as a player and your bout with cancer aﬀect you? I don’t think they necessarily changed me, because I’d like to think before those situations or issues I was a decent person. For me it’s put life in perspective and makes you think what is truly important. Every coach, regardless of the level, wants to win at highest level and be the last team standing when it’s said and done. I think you also have to value life and understand that as much as you want to compete and win games, it’s just a game. You always approach with the maximum eﬀort, but you also have to put things in perspective. r

TAKING THE LEAD

JOSH KROENKE ’99 HOMETOWN: Columbia, Missouri RESIDENCE: Denver, Colorado POSITION: Team President and Governor, Denver Nuggets There are few things that connect central Missouri and central New Hampshire, but in 1998 basketball did just that. When Josh Kroenke and his parents thought he needed another year of hoops before matriculating to a Big 12 program, Kroenke found his way to New Hampton, and helped an incredibly skilled Huskies team to a solid season. Along the way, Kroenke exhibited his versatile game. With a spectacular eight three pointers, he helped the Huskies knock off a Maine Central Institute squad that included DerMarr Johnson and Caron Butler, giving MCI its first loss in a year-and-a-half. Kroenke returned to his hometown of Columbia the following year, prepared for what became a productive career in a Tiger uniform. Kroenke averaged 17 minutes per game as a junior, shot 45 percent from behind the three-point line, and was named to the Big 12 All-Academic team. He averaged 16 minutes his senior season in 2004. He was the team captain in each of his final two seasons. After graduating from Missouri with a degree in financial management, Kroenke was an intern with the NBA, learning all the nuances of the front office business in the player development department. He worked for Lehman Brothers for a few years, but felt the tug of basketball and the NBA in 2007 and moved from New York City to Denver where he joined the family sports business and became a vital cog in the Denver Nuggets organization. Over the last three years as President of the Nuggets, he has led the team to unprecedented success, and

What was the biggest challenge making the move to the NBA from the corporate world? They are similar but different. The biggest challenge for me was to look at everything objectively.

I had a head start, playing at New Hampton, playing at Missouri, and after school I did an internship with the league office. On the

business side, it’s the driving forces behind sports business—your ticket base, your sponsorships. I had a leg up because I did an internship with league office and then I worked for Lehman Brothers in real estate and investment banking for two years. Business is business. It’s just how you’re generating revenues and how you go about balancing budgets. It’s been a lot of fun. I can tell you that much. How much influence do you have on shaping the team? From my background in basketball, that’s where the base of my passion is: the actual product on the floor. I’m involved in all our meetings whether it’s our marketing guys briefing me or other meetings. The way our company is structured, it’s different from

other teams because we have multiple teams under one umbrella. But I get to meet with all our guys. The roster meetings are the most fun for me. Our general manager Masai Ujiri and I have a great relationship. He keeps me up to speed with everything that’s happening around the league. And he and I know where each other stands on players— well in advance since we talk so much. I have final say on roster decisions. It’s been fun the last couple years because we’ve made some interesting moves, and I think we have a fun, young team. Describe the learning curve. There is a natural maturation process going through those years in your life. I think that’s something that’s different from organization to organization. New York Knicks and Los Angeles Lakers can do things differently and do things that we can’t do in Denver, Colorado. It’s a team-by-team philosophy, but it has been eye-opening to see some of the super-teams form and see how they have formed whether it is via free agency or forcing a trade. There’s a lot of ways to go about winning basketball games and I think we have a pretty good young team—a lot of talent we still need to develop. It’s been a higher education from Coach Karl and some of the other guys he had on staff, but I had a great base of knowledge coming out of Missouri. I played there obviously but lis-

tened really well and was basically a sponge for my whole ﬁve years there. I came out knowing what to look for in basketball players and what it took to win. It was great to get out here and see what George thought and blend what I thought in. What about the media and fan scrutiny you must have to face? I have really thick skin, and because of my position and because of my family, from a young age I was used to being in the spotlight. It never really bothered me. I had been through a lot of scrutiny at a young age. We were under a lot of scrutiny during the Carmelo saga, and people have always questioned my position just because of who I am—it’s just natural. It bothered me more as a 19-, 20-year-old kid in college than it does now. I don’t think about it much right now. The ﬁrst time you get lit up in a newspaper it’s an eye-opener. It’s not easy, but you have to embrace the philosophy of what you want to do, form a plan to do it, you can’t worry about the people on the periphery and you need to stay committed to your plan and go no-holds bar. Describe your New Hampton experience. It was a great year out my life and helped shape the person I am today. There were great people and it was a great place. I wouldn’t change anything. I met a lot of great

What was Coach Arsenault’s style? I remember one practice that he ran us. Only one day in college trumped New Hampton in terms of the number of sprints I had to run. And that was Coach Aresenault. I think it was after we played Harvard JV. We beat them by 20, but probably should have thumped them. I think Chris Wallace ’77 (then-GM of the Celtics) came to watch us and said something along the lines of “great game, you guys have a lot of talent, but they could have played harder.” The next day Coach Arsenault had us running 17s until our tongues hit the ﬂoor. …It was a really good group of guys. You’re playing against guys who are following the same path as you. They’re all very focused. It was a great experience because I learned a lot of self-discipline being away from home like that. It was out of my comfort zone, which is something I think all young people should do. What are your memories of New Hampton? I lived in Draper. We had a lot of fun times around the dorm when we were not supposed to be having fun times around the dorm. I know I really enjoyed Fall Foliage Day. We went out for a big hike and it was really cool to get out and see some of the scenery. I remember going home for break, and I remember I was never bummed to go back to New Hampton after break. r

TAKING THE LEAD

PAT KNIGHT ’90 HOMETOWN: Bloomington, Indiana RESIDENCE: Beaumont, Texas POSITION: Head Men’s Basketball Coach, Lamar University Pat Knight ’90 was one of the first New Hampton basketball players from Indiana to make a one-year stop in Husky Nation, but he was certainly not the last. Knight, who grew up the son of coaching legend Bobby Knight, arrived in New Hampton in the Fall of 1989 after visiting the School the spring before. His experience at New Hampton playing under Whit Lesure and Mark Tilton led to a pipeline between New Hampton and Indiana. Steve Hart ’93, Tom Coverdale ’99, and Mike Roberts ’00 each followed Knight’s path. Knight had coaching in the blood, and immediately followed his father’s career path after his playing days at Indiana were over. He was a scout and administrative assistant with the Phoenix Suns, an assistant coach in the CBA, a head coach in the IBA, and then an assistant at his alma mater Indiana. Knight followed his father to Texas Tech where he was an assistant for seven years before leading the program for three more. Knight recently wrapped up his first year at Lamar where he led the Cardinals to a 2312 record, the Southland Conference Tournament Championship, and a berth in the NCAA Tournament. Knight carries fond memories of his year in Husky Nation, which included a 17-9 record, an appearance in the NEPSAC Class A semifinals, and a victory in the always tough Fork Union Tournament.

How was your first year at Lamar after three years as the head guy at Texas Tech? Tech was a great place to be an assistant, but I should have left. Each time I tried they gave me a bump up and eventually I became the head coach in waiting. What the hell was I doing getting my first job in the Big 12. I should have gone back to the Midwest, but I couldn’t turn it down. I was not prepared for it. I went from sitting next to my Dad to coaching against Bill Self and Rick Barnes. It was like winning the Golden Gloves and being thrown into the ring with Muhammad Ali. Lamar has been perfect for me. I see it as my first coaching job. I’m more comfortable at this level, and there is no cheating and you don’t have to deal with the street agents. It’s the purest level of college basketball. I can’t sell my soul. I can’t get into trouble because of my family and my Dad’s legacy. I have no interest in a BCS program now—it’s too much. What do you tell young coaches? I ask them: “Do you want to sell your soul?” The majority of big schools are shady. You have to make that decision. I know how to cheat, but I can’t do it. I’m more scared of my Dad than the NCAA. Everyone talks about the money, so you have to decide if you are in it for the money or to build a legacy. Quality of life is very important to me, and I’ve just had the two best summers of my career because I can recruit differently. We don’t have to deal with the AAU coaches like we did at Tech. When did you know you wanted to be a coach? I was working for the Phoenix Suns and Dick Van Arsdale in the front office, and I missed winning and losing. And he told me that the closest thing to playing was coaching and I

wanted the excitement of winning and losing and what that brings. How did you adjust to New Hampton? I had to grow up quick being away from home. I remember we drove there from Bloomington, and you leave home where you are the man and everyone at New Hampton was the best player on their high school team. It was like an all-star team. I was one of the ﬁrst Midwest guys to go to prep schools so it kind of blew the door open. So it was strange at ﬁrst. Everyone thought I was the biggest hick with my accent. They thought I was from the “Beverly Hillbillies” or something. What do you remember about your experience? The classes were tailor-made from a college standpoint. I went up there to mature. The teachers were great. I lived in Veazey and Coach Tilton was like an extension of my parents. You had Coach Lesure who reminded me of my Dad, Coach Tilton with the cigar was Bo Shembechler, and Harry Golden the lobster guy who coached football and was a throwback to the days of leather helmets. The main thing was the core values. They didn’t put up with any BS. It was one of the greatest experiences I’ve ever had. My brother told me I’d be closer to the guys at New Hampton than guys from college and he was right. We had all types of

How was the basketball team? We were good but we couldn’t beat MCI. We beat everyone but they beat us twice. We had them beat in a couple games but ended up losing. We had some real good players: Dan Purdy, Mark Raveling, Dan Callahan. But we didn’t have one star. We spread it around and it was one of the better teams I’ve been a part of in that respect. I thought the coaches did a great job. What was it like being Bobby Knight’s kid at New Hampton? They didn’t know who my Dad was. Some of the hockey and football players knew him of course, but I was just Pat Knight from Indiana. It was kind of cool. The local news came up to do a story on me, but the School was just happy to get the publicity. It was nice because for the ﬁrst time I was walking around an no one was pointing at you. I was just a guy across the hall at New Hampton, and I’ve been in the frying pan ever since. r

TAKING THE LEAD

WES MILLER ’02 HOMETOWN: Charlotte, North Carolina RESIDENCE: Greensboro, North Carolina POSITION: Head Men’s Basketball Coach, University of North Carolina-Greensboro A three-year student at New Hampton School, Wes Miller became the thenyoungest coach in men’s college basketball last year when he was named the Interim Head Coach at the University of North Carolina Greensboro. Miller’s world transitioned from a passive 2-3 zone as an assistant coach to a full-court press when UNC Greensboro Head Coach Mike Dement resigned on December 13, 2011. After six straight losses, Miller led his team on a streak in January, winning 10 of 11 games and finishing the season with a 10-8 record in conference play and a 13-19 overall record. Miller’s interim tag was removed at the end of the season to the approval of UNCG fans. Miller, who played a pivotal role in New Hampton’s 2002 New England Championship team, played basketball at UNC Chapel Hill where he was a fan favorite and won a national title in 2005 before a brief playing career in England and assistant coaching positions at Elon and High Point. A native of Greensboro, North Carolina, Miller is back home in Greensboro now and is surrounded by players and coaches who bleed Husky green. Mike Roberts ’00 is his Associate Head Coach, Chris Parsons ’92 is the strength and conditioning coach, Nick Paulos ’11 just finished his freshman season, and Kyle Cain ’10 recently transferred from Arizona State and will be eligible to play in 2013–14. Miller, who was married in the summer of 2011 to Ashley Love, reflected on his whirlwind year in North Carolina when he returned to NHS in May.

Do you guys talk a lot about Husky Nation? We absolutely talk about New Hampton at UNCG. It’s neat to have guys in the program who share an experience that’s really special from high school and gives us something in common from players to coaches, and it’s something we’re really proud of. You recently hired Mike Roberts ’00 as an assistant coach? We met in the fall of 1999. Mike was a postgraduate and I was a junior. Mike was like a big brother to me like many of the guys on that team were for me. I stayed in contact with him not just during my time in college but as we both got into coaching. Our relationship continued to grow as we began to coach. He’s a guy I completely respect as a friend and professionally in the sense that he has as good a work ethic as anyone I know in the business. He’s extremely knowledgeable— he’s been around some of the greatest coaches in the game and I feel like I com-

pletely hit a home run getting him to come to UNCG from Rice and be my Associate Head Coach. I know more than anything else, because of our friendship and the experience we shared at New Hampton, that the loyalty is there. Chris Parsons ’92 coached me while I was at New Hampton and another guy I’ve had an extremely strong bond with. I played for him at New Hampton. He has done a tremendous job coming in working with our players, just really proud to have someone who I not only have a professional relationship with but I also I really trust. How has Nick Paulos ’11 progressed as a player? Nick had a real solid year. I feel like he had one of the toughest roles on our team because I played him out of position in the second half of the season. It wasn’t necessarily what was best for Nick individually, but it’s what was best for our team in terms of

There are decisions to be made every day as a head coach, and I don’t have to think because I watched one of the best ever make those decisions.

giving our team the best chance to win games. He did it gracefully. He accepted his role and gave us everything he had. I’m really excited about moving forward because we get to get him back to the perimeter at his natural position. He has a great attitude. The guys on the team love him, he’s a fan favorite, and I think Nick has a chance to be a special player for us. You lost six straight games against top nonconference competition including Duke before getting your ﬁrst win over College of Charlestown. How did it feel? It was a thrill, one of those moments I’ll never forget. And (then College of Charlestown Coach Bobby Cremins) took the time to say some kind things to me at a time when he was probably pretty upset about the game. Have you had a chance to sit back and think about the removal of the interim tag? Things have happened so fast, there hasn’t been a whole lot of time to reﬂect. In those moments, you sit back and think about everything. I almost start to pinch myself because it’s such a surreal thing to be able to get up in the morning and do what you love every day and do what you’re passionate about, to

NEW HAMPTON SCHOOL

do it in your hometown and a place you really believe in. I just want to make the most of the opportunity. What’s the best advice you got since getting the interim tag removed? My college coach Roy Williams said “just be yourself.” That sounds cliché but what he really helped me to understand is that because I’m in a new role I don’t have to try to be someone who is not 29 years old or someone who is not really positive, or take the characteristics that make me who I am and change them because I’m in a diﬀerent seat. I think he’s helped me see the big picture. What have you learned from your coaches? One thing that I’ve always taken from Coach (Jamie) Arsenault, my New Hampton coach, was his competitiveness. He had such a drive to compete that it carried over to our team. I hope as a coach I inspire guys to play with same passion and eﬀort he inspired us to play with at New Hampton. And Coach Williams: He molded my beliefs about the game of basketball as a whole. Anything that comes up, from a drill to a game situation to decisions on team travel, and I don’t know what I want, I just think about how he did it.

You played on the last New England Championship team at New Hampton in 2002. What did you learn from that experience? We used to laugh at the end of that season because our practices were often tougher than our games. It was not always about the go-to guys. We held ourselves to a championship standard every day as much as any team I’ve ever been around. Every day in practice, Mike Konovelchick ’02 (who played at Manhattan) challenged Rashad McCants ‘02 as much as anyone did at North Carolina. And Collin Bray ’02 (the backup point guard) challenged me as much as Raymond Felton did in any practice. It was such a competitive mindset that the entire team had. When you drive back to New Hampton, what type of emotions do you get? I think the word that sums up how I feel when I pull up to New Hampton is comfort. I’ve always felt my three years at New Hampton were some of the best years of my life. This place will always feel like home. And to be able to come back here and not only remember the experiences I had here, but also see familiar faces and people who are some of my best friends like Pete Hutchins ’01 (current New Hampton Head Coach) and Jamie Arsenault (former Head Coach and current AD) among many others, makes showing up here even more special, knowing these guys are still around. r

A GAMER’S PARADISE REX DICKSON ’91 THE MANTRA FILLS THE WORRIED PLEADING OF PARENTS EVERYWHERE: “STOP PLAYING VIDEO GAMES!” BRAIN-DRAINING, TIME-SUCKING, ANTI-SOCIAL, AND REALITY-ESCAPING, VIDEO GAMES HAVE A WORSE REPUTATION THAN NEGLIGENT babysitters in most parenting handbooks. But for Rex Dickson ’91—a man who believes in the importance of moderation—video games have provided incredible professional opportunities, allowed for an outlet for creativity, and paved the way for quite a bit of globetrotting over the last 15 years. The former Marist College football player relished his quality time spent playing Nintendo tournaments in Lewis House while a student at New Hampton School, and currently works on a video game that is the center of countless man caves and college dorm rooms around the country. Yes, Dickson is in an enviable seat in August 2012, a few weeks before the launch of “Madden 2013,” a football and video game fan’s equivalent of the perfect marriage. He is the Creative Director of Core Gameplay at EA Sports Tiburon, an Orlando, Florida-based studio dedicated to Madden and NCAA football brands played on a variety of gaming platforms. These are some of the most popular sports video games in the world, and Dickson is putting his stamp on both. In charge of a team of eight, Dickson is responsible for the entire user experience between the time when the football is snapped and the whistle sounds. “These days I say I provide creative direction for the group,” says Dickson, who is married and has a seven-month-old child. His current job is a bit of a departure, though. In the past Dickson built games from the bottom up, creating characters, plotlines, and sets while building believable spaces from nothing. At EA Tiburon, where he has worked since early 2012, sports games are more about updates and tweaks. “Sports is entirely different,” he explains. “You’re not starting from zero. You’re improving and fixing what’s already there. With football, there are so many interdependent systems. Every time you touch something, you have to consider what it is going to affect and how we can retain balance.”

15-Million-Unit Career The consistent theme throughout Dickson’s career, one which has brought him to Austin, Phoenix, Orange County, Los Angeles, New York City, and even Australia, has been a dedication to bringing quality gaming experiences to the public and working with the most innovative technologies. Along the way, the games in which he was involved have sold a staggering 15 million units worldwide. The technology is so advanced in the game industry that it has forced Dickson to be the ultimate lifelong learner. Each game that he has embraced has demanded that he learn new, custom-made, unpublished software. And there have been numerous games. In his career, Dickson has worked on or been the lead designer on titles ranging from “Turok: Dinosaur Hunter,” “Turok Evolution,” “Career Criminal,” “Indiana Jones Trilogy,” “Medal of Honor: European Assault,” and “Medal of Honor Airborne,” “Homefront,” and “The Avengers” movielicensed title, which never made it to market because of financial difficulties. Dickson’s favorite project was his first, though, a deeply personal experience that

NEW HAMPTON SCHOOL

conﬁrmed his passion for the industry and all the skills that it allowed him to employ. He started out as a tester, a job that few manage to climb out of and into the more fruitful jobs in the industry. “I moved out to the West Coast and started to go to trade school to learn some new software and I applied for an internship, an unpaid internship at a studio,” Dickson recalls. “After four months of being self-motivated, picking up work, and doing things they promoted me to lead designer on a game called ‘Revenant.’ ” It was the break that changed a career. Dickson is most proud of “Revenant” because it was a result of not only hard work but also the opportunity he seized to force himself into the industry. Once he had an internship, there was nothing passive about his work. It’s a message he shares on the road when he talks at colleges and other venues. “It’s all about not waiting to be told to do anything—just starting to do things,” Dickson explains. “The more self-motivated you are and the more you can anticipate without being told what needs to be done, the better oﬀ you’re going to be.”

That ﬁrst game resonates for Dickson for a variety of reasons, not the least because it was a crash-course in management and will. “I had no idea what I was doing and for most of the people working on it, it was their ﬁrst game, too,” Dickson says. “We just fumbled our way into the darkness. The game was only pretty good—not great. The fact that we even got it out and got it done was just incredible to me.”

New Hampton Roots Not so surprising to New Hampton School Director of Studies Jennifer Shackett Berry ’83. Dickson still calls his old teacher often. Berry recognized early Dickson’s ability to lead and the pride he exhibited in being part of a small community. “Rex was the kind of guy who had a lot of friends from diﬀerent groups on campus,” Berry says. “He got along with everyone and because of that he has great communication skills and great interpersonal skills. It doesn’t surprise me that he’s a leader in his industry because he has a lot of respect for people who think diﬀerently than he does, but can still work with them.”

“You get to touch so many different parts of creating a vision even more than television, movies, or books.” – Rex Dickson ’91 Dickson was a quirky teenager, with a passion for alternative fashion and goth music. He didn’t conform to the stereotypical football player checklist. Berry relished the fact that he “didn’t mind being himself at a time when most teenagers are just trying to ﬁt in.”

A Storyteller at Heart Though Dickson toils in a highly complex digital universe in the workplace, what he seems to covet most is the storytelling aspect. A passionate writer who served as a teaching assistant in one of Berry’s classes during his senior year, Dickson always thought he would take his skills to the television, radio, or film industries and polished his character development and writing skills. But when he started to explore job prospects during his junior year at Marist, he discovered a minefield of opportunities in the gaming industry. The move was a fortuitous one, and the industry provided a creative tilt that was multidimensional. “It’s always been about the number of ways you can creatively express yourself,” Dickson says. “If you’re a writer, you’re constantly expressing through words. Game design covers everything. I’ve done everything in my career from designing layouts of sets to writing dialogues for characters. And all the problem solving that goes with it. You get to touch so many different parts of creating a vision even more than television, movies, or books. Then there is the interactive component—having this freeroaming user who can do whatever he

wants in your world, and setting up the world around him. It’s the ultimate form of creative expression.” The future of video games is something that Dickson can chat about the way a Harvard Economics professor does the debt ceiling. Mobile and tablet devices will change the way developers think about investing in games from beginning-to-end and focus more on sequels and franchises. Dickson, though, currently works in a division that demands a combination of skills. He’s at home on a team that includes former college football players from the SEC and Princeton as well as a former NFL lineman. Creating a thrilling, innovative experience— as with the real-time physics engine on Madden 2013—allows collaboration with “guys who have doctorates in theoretical physics from some Ivy League schools.” “I couldn’t even understand the tools they were using to interface it,” Dickson says. “I was just talking to them about all the problems it was introducing and talking to them about solutions.” As critical, Dickson was thinking about the experience of college students in dorm rooms, fathers in their man caves, and even that group of kids sharing an experience in a New Hampton School common room. According to Dickson, it was at New

Hampton that he discovered so much about himself and developed skills that would help shape so many great titles in the video game industry. “Living on campus with a bunch of students got me to be more effective socially earlier than my friends who went to public school,” Dickson says. “…But the biggest thing I remember is the level of personal attention you got from your teachers. You find in life sometimes you have ineffective or inexperienced bosses who are very poor managers and it’s very difficult to get quality work when you have something like that. The same way I thought about the difference between public school and New Hampton. I went from having people who really didn’t care about me individually to where people were really invested in my success. …Even 20 years later, I remember all my teachers from New Hampton and how good they were.” Perhaps 20 years from now, video game junkies will remember detailed pieces of the interactive worlds that Rex Dickson created. Friends might discuss a particular game over a meal, like that Lewis Common Room during Dickson’s high school days, where the games were not the object of parental scorn, but a reason to come together. r

INFRARED INGENUITY: EARL LEWIS ’62 AND THE CLIMB OF FLIR SYSTEMS ON A RESPLENDENT SUMMER NIGHT IN PORTSMOUTH HARBOR, EARL LEWIS ’62 PEERED UP WITH QUIET CURIOSITY INTO THE SKY. ON BOARD A MODEST CRUISING VESSEL THAT WAS CARRYING A GROUP OF TRUSTEES AND GUESTS PAST THE OLD Naval Prison across the water from the Seacoast city, Lewis was focused on a rescue helicopter that flew back and forth across the harbor as a Coast Guard boat patrolled below. The captain of the boat on which Lewis was standing informed guests that someone had jumped off the bridge that connects New Hampshire and Maine. In an effort to find the missing person, the rescue team on the boat was employing an infrared camera. Lewis was eyeing the copter for good reason. Nearly two months after trying to explain the ubiquity of infrared technology in today’s world to this writer, Lewis could offer visible proof of the technology’s appeal: it saves lives. It seemed to be a moment of pride. If there is a person more passionate or informed than Lewis about the way in which infrared technology’s expansion, that person most likely is working for Lewis or a competitor. As the CEO of FLIR Systems, a multi-million-dollar company that delivers infrared technology to the military as well as the industrial and private sectors, Lewis is at the forefront of one of the most critical technologies in the modern era. The challenge, as with all big ideas that are expensive, is bringing it to the people. Technologies like infrared will not only be necessary in the future for the improvement of society, but they will also need to be more affordable. Lewis spends considerable time trying to figure out how to make it more accessible to more people as quickly as possible. Earl Lewis did not always feel the drive, passion, and curiosity that stoked an incredibly successful business career. And that is why a student with noteworthy potential ended up at New Hampton School in the fall of 1960 for a two-year stint that would change him. Lewis was an indifferent student when he arrived, but an interest in learning soon engulfed him, perhaps for no other reason than there were few other pastimes at an allboys school in the sticks of New Hampshire.

Earl Lewis ’62 COLLEGE: Clarkson University HOMETOWN: Boston, Massachusetts POSITION: President and CEO, FLIR Systems

“ What makes FLIR unique is that we’ve taken the military technology to commercial markets. Typically, infrared is either used to save lives or save energy.” – Earl Lewis ’62 “I came to New Hampton because I didn’t work at all (at my other school),” Lewis says. “And I do attribute the School for me doing better—and I wonder if it was because I had nothing else to occupy my mind. There really wasn’t much to do. You couldn’t just sit in your bed and stare at the ceiling. So I did come to enjoy learning and ﬁnding out more about things. Ever since then I‘ve been more inquisitive about what’s happening around me and why. “ Those questions have led to a rewarding career for Lewis, who was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award at Reunion 2012. A self-proclaimed Yankee businessman, Lewis is determined to ﬁnd

opportunity and success for his company and stockholders. “I’m a businessman who happens to use science to further the business,” Lewis explains. But there is a passion for the technology that seeps through Lewis’ business jargon. He loves what his product brings to the market and the quality of people’s lives. When he describes the mission of FLIR (Forward Looking Infrared), Lewis notes that when he took over FLIR in 2000, the lowest price of a camera was $25,000. Today, a hunter can buy an infrared camera for $1,000. Infrared technology was developed 10–15 years after GPS and was intended for military use. It remains a vital aspect of how the United States protects its soldiers around the world. “The military applications are clear—you want to be able to see the enemy,” Lewis says. “This type of equipment is mounted on drones and helicopters and used also for security around military bases.” FLIR, though, is taking the camera to the common man and trying to make it aﬀordable. A hunter, a boater, or a homeowner could all beneﬁt.

“What makes FLIR unique is that we’ve taken the military technology to commercial markets. Typically, infrared is either used to save lives or save energy,” Lewis explains. Infrared technology in simplest terms takes electromagnetic wavelength that’s emitted from everything, and it captures that energy and converts it into a picture. For the military, it allows soldiers to detect if someone is a man or woman from three to four miles away because of the differences in temperatures in their body. Energy savings is another application. A green technology because it does not need lights, infrared can be used to detect gas leaks and places in machinery and buildings where there are inefficiencies. It’s also used on boats, allowing people to see at night. Pioneered by FLIR, this application was developed eight years ago and private boat owners are now utilizing it. Policemen and firemen are safer, too, able to flash the camera down a dark alley to see a bad guy or navigate through a smoke-filled house to see if there is a person inside. The medical applications are numerous as well. Some types of cancer are detectable, and in a few Far East countries, businesses have

used infrared to detect whether employees were healthy enough to work after a widespread ﬂu epidemic by measuring their body heat. There is something about developing technologies that has always been a big part of Lewis’ career. A graduate of Clarkson University, Lewis has worked for four diﬀerent companies over his career. He began with a 10-year stint working for Westinghouse, then moved on to Alfa Laval in Sweden and London. His work as the CEO and President at Thermo Instrument Systems was nothing short of astounding. Taking the company public in 1986, Lewis guided the instrument manufacturer from $70 million dollar market capitalization to $3 billion over the next 14 years. FLIR came knocking at Lewis’ door in 2000, embroiled in a scandal and nearing bankruptcy after management misled stockholders. “FLIR was 35 cents a share when I took over in 2000,” Lewis explains. “Today unfor-

tunately it’s at $25. A year ago it was $40. It went up 100 times what the price was.” Lewis inherited a business with a wonderful technology that was in shambles. As with the technology that aﬀords vision in darkness and distinct insight from a distance, Lewis provided his own transformative touch—the necessary leadership to move the company from despair to a place of stability. He takes pride in the model he has constructed, determined “to build around the core technology.” Lewis and his wife of over 40 years, Barbara, now split their time between Boston and a place on Cape Cod, but he is still on the move. FLIR is based in Portland, Oregon, and he owns another business outside Beijing, making instruments for the Chinese market. As a trustee at NHS and his alma mater Clarkson University and a father and grandfather, Lewis never has education far from his mind as he considers the growing disparity between the skills and drive of

international students and professionals and their peers in the United States. “I don’t see the same ambition,” he says, “and it worries me because they’ll be a few Facebooks and Googles, and they’ll be a few nuts and bolts, and those who work hard in school and after, but we’re getting awfully soft and it does worry me.” With retirement on the horizon, Lewis thinks he wants to teach in some fashion. It will be natural ﬁt for a man who understands how a student’s curiosity can be fed and nurtured. Until then, he will try to lead FLIR to an even more healthy state, all the while ushering in a new time in history when an infrared camera is as common as a mobile device. “We think we can bring the price down so it will be a part of everyone’s life,” Lewis says. “You’ll have your own infrared camera and you might have an iPhone with an infrared camera in it. Eventually we think you’ll be using them in rooms to control air conditioning, heat, lighting, security, or ﬁre.” r

Dana Buckley ’08 COLLEGE: Worcester Polytechnic Institute MAJOR: Biomedical Engineering HOMETOWN: Plymouth, New Hampshire RESIDENCE: Ann Arbor, Michigan POSITION: Frontal Impact Safety Engineer for Toyota RESPONSIBILITIES: Working with a team to engineer and develop safety components associated with frontal crashes in Toyota vehicles.

TWO FOR TECH TWO RECENT ALUMNI OFFER THEIR DIFFERENT TAKES ON THEIR ENTRANCE INTO THEIR RESPECTIVE TECHNOLOGY JOBS (ANSWERS EDITED FOR PRINT).

Dana Buckley ’08 HOW DID YOU LAND THE JOB? At Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), I was extremely active in the Society of Women Engineers. While I was at our national conference last fall I approached an engineer at the Toyota booth and asked “who gets to crash the cars?” I never thought that less than a year later, it would be me! WHAT CLASSES AND OUT OF CLASS WORK PREPARED YOU? Most importantly, I took classes that I enjoyed. By taking courses I liked and was engaged in, I learned the material much easier and worked harder to produce better work. If you ﬁnd something you really love, then you'll be put in line for a job you'll be extremely passionate about. Most of my classes were very involved in the lab, designing procedures and taking measurements. Even though the courses I took at WPI do not exactly line up with what I do at Toyota, my professors constantly challenged me and taught me how to produce high quality work in any work situation.

NEW HAMPTON SCHOOL

WHAT IS YOUR DREAM JOB AND WHY? Toyota is just about as close to a dream job as I could have ever imagined: every day I am engineering a diﬀerent part of a new car. One day I could be working on the development of a new airbag and the next I could be involved in a discussion about passenger comfort. Toyota has all the new engineers hit the ground running, so right away I was given lots of responsibilities and asked for my input on our projects. HOW DID NHS AND WPI PREPARE YOU FOR YOUR CURRENT GIG? One of the values I know I learned from New Hampton was how to be a global citizen. This inspired me to study abroad in my time at WPI and gave me a head start into the type of culture I now work in at Toyota. New Hampton also taught me it was okay to push myself, and in fact I wasn't truly succeeding until I was challenged. Looking back on my senior year math courses at NHS, nothing prepared me better for a career in engineering. r

Roger Richardson ’07 COLLEGE: Drexel University MAJOR: Communications, with a concentration in Corporate and Public Relations HOMETOWN: Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania RESIDENCE: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania POSITION: Head of Marketing, LevelUp Philadelphia RESPONSIBILITIES: Overseeing company-sponsored events, forming advertising aﬃliations, hiring and managing Brand Ambassadors, connecting to local community events, and advocating for LevelUp and its clients via social media.

Roger Richardson ’07 HOW DID YOU LAND THE JOB AND WHAT MAKES IT AN INTERESTING WORKING ENVIRONMENT? At Drexel we have the co-op program which requires you to work for six full months during your sophomore year. While I completed my co-op at The Jim Henson Company in Los Angeles a good friend of mine completed her co-op at LevelUp. She had nothing but good things to say about the company and after graduating I applied, went through a lengthy interview process, and began working in January. After working in sales for six months I transitioned into a managerial position in the Marketing department. LevelUp is the ideal work environment for young, energetic, and ambitious individuals. HOW DO YOU DESCRIBE THE BUSINESS TO FOLKS YOU MEET? LevelUp is a mobile payment method, it is a free app for the iPhone and Android that literally allows you to pay by scanning your phone. The customer links a debit or credit card of their choice and scans their phone at the register. This eliminates the need for waiting to sign a receipt, making change or

having a minimum credit card fee. LevelUp is also free for a merchant to accept. There is no hardware fee for our equipment; there is no transaction fee, which saves small businesses money on credit cards. LevelUp only makes money if we bring a merchant a new customer or one that reaches a level of loyalty set forth by the merchant. LevelUp also doubles as a loyalty program and tracks their spend at each business. When they reach a loyalty goal such as “spend 50” they get cash to spend the next time, “earn $5.” It’s basically a high-tech digital punch card. WHAT TYPE OF CLASSES AND OUT OF CLASS WORK PREPARED YOU FOR A JOB? Education is important, and the majority of class work gives you the necessary learning habits to comprehend new information and apply relevant knowledge. What has helped me most in the work place is the professional experience I gained by working during my college years. By completing a co-op my sophomore year at Drexel I gained ﬁrst-hand experience of how a company functions from the bottom to the top. WHAT IS YOUR DREAM JOB AND WHY? This is a very tough question but I think if I had to pick just one, I would like to own my

own film production company. I think in recent years big Hollywood blockbusters have gotten too much unmerited attention for an overdependence on CGI, 3-D and other digital enhancements. I would like to operate a production company dedicated to minimalist films focusing more on characters and gritty, more realistic settings than computer animation. HOW DID NHS PREPARE YOU FOR YOUR CURRENT GIG? I learned how to become organized in my time at NHS. That was the greatest intellectual strength I achieved in my time there. I struggle with keeping names, dates, times, and responsibilities in my head so creating a successful structure for myself, maintaining notes and emails, committing to a schedule, and double-checking my preparation has helped me in the workplace. It’s what allowed me to get through college in four years much to my parents’ delight. I still battle with my organization skills every day but NHS, specifically the tutorial program and study hall, helped me to overcome that struggle so that I can achieve my goals on time. r

entities do more harm than good with their college rankings cottage industry. the words seem to be on a repeating loop: “This is the most competitive year ever in college admission.” For nearly two decades, the needle has kept moving, and the rate of change in college admissions, programs, and offerings in dizzying. The landscape and terrain of the “college process” change so rapidly that it is difficult for students and families to get their bearings. In many ways, the college process (reﬂection, research, application, and choice) frenzy has become a self-fulﬁlling prophecy. FDR’s incisive admonition “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself,” comes to mind. Over the years of deconstructing this speech with high school juniors in US History class, one can appreciate a college counselor’s desire to teach US History in the sophomore year. An understanding before the start of junior year of just how paralyzing fear can be on the human psyche would go a long way toward making the college process the energizing, enlightening, and empowering experience that it can and should be for students and their families.

increase in applications For 35 years and counting the Common Application has served to reduce significantly the hours a student spends filling in the biographical and academic information common to every college application, as well as a personal statement (the college essay) and short answer response. Yet the time once saved by this work simplification is now spent applying to more colleges. As more students choose to apply to a greater number of colleges, and often the same cohort of schools where class sizes remain constant, it is inevitable that the percentage of applicants that a given school accepts (“admit



new hampton school

rate”) will go down. As that acceptance percentage drops each year, students become more and more fearful (think back to FDR’s fear here) about their chances for college admission and thus apply to a greater number of schools than the class before them. This fear is the catalyst for a vicious cycle. The list of two or three colleges or universities to which today’s parents of high-school aged students applied in their senior year of high school has grown to nearly eight for current seniors. And that’s the average, which means it is not uncommon for some students to submit anywhere from 15 to as many as 20 applications. Generally, the number of colleges to which a student applies is inversely proportional to the time spent on researching each school. A bigger list too often does not reﬂect consistent student criteria. Why not just add an Ivy College or two to the list “just to see what happens?” Almost every Ivy League institution has an admit rate at or below 10 percent. The pools for those schools remain the best and brightest students, and no longer draw only from within the United States but span the entire globe. From a college standpoint, the spike in received applications, borne out of fear, disrupts the models colleges employ for offering admission and managing yield. The perceived unpredictably creates fear in students.

the business of college admission For a time, demographics suggested that the admit belt would loosen when the population bubble of high school graduates burst in 2008–09. Though the sheer volume of high school students might be on the decline, the percentage of high school students who

choose to apply and matriculate to college continues to rise at a faster rate. And that’s just high school students from the United States. In teasing out what factors contribute most to fueling the college admission fear and frenzy, the increase of high school graduates matriculating to college alone pales in comparison to the concurrent effects of both more aggressive mainstream media publications and more aggressive marketing and business practices on the part of colleges. US News & World Report and similar entities do more harm than good with their college rankings cottage industry. For far too many students and families these publications become the college process equivalent of SparkNotes: shortcuts to a substantive understanding of a college’s appropriateness for a student. These publications offer more distraction than guidance—“Best Colleges and Universities” for whom, exactly? When students deliberately and thoughtfully consider who they are, identify what they need and seek from a college—and why, and commit themselves to creating a balanced (likely, possible, reach) college list consisting of schools that match their personal criteria and meet family circumstances, there is no need to apply to 20 or even 10 schools. The more students know about themselves and the more purposeful their process becomes, then the quicker the irrational and debilitating fear surrounding the college process dissipates. In addition to the mainstream media, US colleges and universities today employ better, more efficient business practices to attract candidates, predict application volume and characteristics, and manage yield. Social media, a current reality non-existent 10 years ago, has changed this landscape.

College admission offices have at least one staff person singularly dedicated to update, maintain, and direct these new technological tools to market, attract, connect, and land new customers—prospective and current applicants and their families. As colleges angle and jostle for market share, the proliferation of application solicitations, types, and deadlines is staggering. Some have a Publishers’ Clearinghouse ring to them: “You have been selected to apply to the University of East Coast! Just complete our easy online application, and we will waive the application fee. Parts of the application have already been completed for you. You will receive your decision within the next month.”

This sort of appeal seduces many students into believing: “This college knows me; they want me.” The right student-college match is the end goal and a worthwhile and necessary debate. A college’s business practice should not be driving a student’s process. As with any successful business, college admission practices are now being measured and guided by their own institutional econometric models, particularly yield projections. Based on three to ﬁve years of data, every application is analyzed and measured, based on as many tangible factors as possible, including but not limited to GPA, merit scholarship, demonstrated interest (Has the student visited campus? Has the student

met with a representative on the New Hampton campus?), demonstrated ﬁnancial need, and so forth, to determine the likelihood that a student, or a student with those characteristics, will decide to enroll if offered admission. The Chronicle of Higher Education illustrated the business model transformation most admission offices have undergone in recent years in “Those Tweedy Old Admissions Deans? They’re All Business Now” (June 26, 2011). College admissions have begun to outsource their marketing initiatives to professional businesses that help manage enrollment, all of which use market-driven analytic and benchmarking data.

economic downturn in late 2008, college admissions offices have had to slash their budgets, retain fewer personnel, and travel less. Admission deans (or “Vice Presidents for Enrollment Management” as they are more commonly titled today) aspire to be lofty and warmly idealistic as they craft an incoming class and create a community while at the same time they must be pragmatic and coldly calculating in order to fill the beds and make the budget. The financial realities that restrict a college budget dictate that increasing money—specifically the tuition revenue streams—has led to colleges actively recruiting students who can pay more and state institutions pursuing out-ofstate or international students who pay significantly more than in-state students. As with most educational institutions committed to fostering greater global awareness and collaboration, American colleges and universities understand the value of global diversity for their classrooms and campuses and they aggressively pursue it. Institutions like Dartmouth College, Purdue University, and Occidental College, to name three examples of thousands, are just as easily accessible to international applicants as they are to domestic students.

student success in the process and implications for nhs Success, of course, has many definitions and markers. In the college process, success is about fit and match between the student and the college. Self-reflection, ownership, and attention to detail, then, become critical characteristics for the high school student aspiring to have an enjoyable and successful college process. Students must understand their own needs and wants (and the differ-

ence between the two) before embarking on their college search. And this is not to say a student’s criteria cannot change once they have the first meeting with a college counselor; this is a very dynamic, often fluid process. For many students the necessary contemplation has begun well before they first sit down with a college counselor. On the whole, this entire process is as much art as it is science. If there were an easy “science” formula to follow, there would be no fear or stress since everyone could simply and accurately calculate outcomes. Thankfully there remains an “art” element to it all, and this is where the authentic individual shines. It’s the “art”—the subjective —that most often differentiates: a stellar academic record alone will not ensure admission to the most selective colleges. “College Preparation” is a broad concept, which encompasses preparation both for success in college academic, social, and service endeavors, as well as preparation for positive outcomes for college admission. The college counseling office pivots between the two in service of the student, family, and greater community. Establishing and managing expectations of the college process is an institutional imperative. Student emphasis is on self-discovery and the importance of student-college match. We work closely with all students, helping each demonstrate their interests and abilities—seeking out opportunities and experiences that match them well—while also being mindful of their needs. Getting beyond the rankings is an essential step for families. Our office informs parents about the realities of the college landscape and why the match is paramount for the student given immediate costs and future investments tied to higher education.

Along similar lines, international families need to understand the US college admission system is not so much numbers-driven as rankings suggest. Managing the expectations of and disseminating information to other key constituencies, such as the Board of Trustees, our broader alumni base, as well as prospective students and families is equally important. The range of excellent college matches available is so much greater than it was even 15 or 20 years ago.

the future and the past In a 1990 essay in Independent School Magazine, titled “College Admission: Failed Rite of Passage,” psychologist Michael Thompson, PhD. noted that the college admission process comes at a crucial time in adolescent development. Cultural rites of passage are times when people transition from one phase to the next; in the case of a high-school senior, he or she is leaving the age of childhood and entering adulthood. “For those students who go on to college, it seems that getting in to college is a more signiﬁcant ritual than graduating from high school; it certainly occupies more time, attention, and family preparation and anxiety. The major transitional step for these young people is the departure for college, and the series of rituals preparing for that step is the college admission process.” So how do we try to improve this “failed rite of passage” here at New Hampton School? How do we achieve the adage of parenting, giving our children both “roots and wings”? We acknowledge whom we are guiding: adolescents who are at various steps along a developmental continuum. Some are ready immediately to engage in continued on page 71

the class of 2012 had choices After three years as the Director of College Counseling, Marty Elkins took her passion for independent schools to the Philippines. Elkins, who has had stops at Holderness School and Groton School—is the new Head of School at the Beacon Academy in Manila where her husband, Paul Elkins, former Associate Director of Students at NHS, will join her. Marty reﬂected on the state of college counseling at NHS the last three years. As the college admission landscape continues to shift and churn, New Hampton School students continue to be read well by admissions officers. The Class of 2012 was successful in their college process, gaining admission to colleges and universities well suited to their talents. The matriculation list reveals, yet again, that New Hampton School students attend an eclectic mix—applying to more than 300 different colleges and gaining acceptance to 200-plus colleges—that accurately matches our types of students. In my three-year tenure at New Hampton School, I have witnessed a subtle cultural shift regarding college attendance. There are a decreasing number of students who do not engage in the process, and more students who are seeking pathways towards exciting futures in business, research, and allied health professions. New Hampton School will always have students attending highly selective colleges such as Brown, Princeton, Johns Hopkins, Swarthmore and Williams. Our skilled athletes will land spots on the basketball, football, lacrosse and hockey rosters at Division I places such as Boston College, Notre Dame, University of Michigan, Penn State, Colgate, UNH and U. Maine. Our artists will attend Rhode Island School of Design, The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and Savannah College of Art and Design. Our thespians will attend strong performing arts programs, at Pace University’s Musical Theatre Program, our nurses and physical therapists will attend

Our students will go to colleges that support their learning style differences, that engage in active environmental stewardship, that offer programs in their co-curricular passions of rock-climbing and snowboarding, and that are communities full of compassionate and enthusiastic people. Why? Because that is what New Hampton School offers and is: a grounded and unpretentious community with a clear sense of mission. The past few years the School’s leadership has taken New Hampton’s proud heritage and tradition and moved it into the 21st century. We still have athletes and artists and scholars living and working in a caring community. We still eat lunch together, sit in McEvoy Theater together, and celebrate commencement on the Meservey Lawn. But now we use technology more effectively in our classrooms,

integrating not just projectors and smartboards, but iPads and e-textbooks. Our teachers still care deeply about their subject content and their students; and now we offer ﬂip teaching and collaborative projects creating robots, windmills, and solar installations. Our student body is still small and caring, but now we share our space with others from China, Vietnam, Columbia, Spain, Kuwait, and Nigeria, sending applications around the world to more than 25 universities, reﬂecting a truly global sense of community. The college acceptances of our students should always match their aspirations and abilities. Our students attend colleges that match their passions and interests, sense of adventure, or desire for challenge. Because of their experiences here, and what they will learn in their venues of higher learning, New Hampton School students are ready for the interconnected and global world they will enter after college. — Marty Elkins

able and help them see their talents realistically. Despite the challenges of the new landscape of college admission in 2012, New Hampton School has a purposeful, informed, and appropriate process that guides our students, our families, and our entire community.

members and aspects of community life. New Hampton has been very deliberate and intentional in how it has nurtured culture, program, and outcomes. It is energizing to join an educational community that at once inspires and aspires.

Derek Krein became New Hampton’s new Director of College Counseling in June, taking over for Marty Elkins who became the Head of School at the Beacon Academy in Manila, Philippines. Derek has spent his entire 19-year professional career as an independent high school educator (17 years in boarding schools). Most recently, Derek was Head of Senior House at Stanwich School in Greenwich, Connecticut, where he took on the leadership role of designing and implementing an innovative high school program for a new high school division. Prior to his post at Stanwich, he spent a decade directing the college counseling offices at three independent schools: Kimball Union Academy in Meriden, New Hampshire; The Hun School of Princeton, New Jersey; and Lawrence Academy in Groton, Massachusetts. He began his teaching career at Brooks School in North Andover, Massachusetts. Derek received his Master’s in Liberal Studies with a History concentration from Dartmouth College and his Bachelor’s from

Connecticut College, where he doublemajored in History and Psychology and rowed on the varsity crew for four years. He is a graduate of Kent School in Connecticut. Hamptonia caught up with Derek as he moved into his new role on campus. What are you most excited about as you return to work in a College Counseling Office and specifically New Hampton School’s? I am most looking forward to the dynamism inherent in the college process (reflection, research, application, and choice) as a whole. It sounds cliché, but it is accurate that no two are alike. For each student and family the process unfolds in different ways and at different rates, yet each has hard and meaningful work that must be fulfilled. New Hampton has been on my radar for years now, and I’ve been waiting for the right time and right opportunity to align. I am thrilled to join NHS at a point when, guided by mission and core values, the School has embraced the Foundations of Learning, the IB Diploma Programme, and global engagement. Having been part of an IB boarding school community elsewhere, I’ve seen the IB tide lift all ships. The desire to know, to make relevant connections, and to live a meaningful, purposeful life permeates all

What is the most enjoyable part of the college process for you? The college process often serves as the vehicle for adolescents to engage in the most critical components of a transformative high school experience: the self-reflection and self-discovery, which lead to individuation. I entered the teaching profession to help students develop a better understanding of themselves and the world around them, and how to tap into both in order to be their best. No teacher wants students simply to parrot someone else’s understanding of a historical era or piece of literature. In the college process, this philosophy often leads me to remind students, “You don’t want me running your process for you because I’ll make choices that reflect who I am, what I like, and how I see the world. You want you making the meaningful decisions and relevant choices. I’ve had my college experience; this is your college experience, not your roommate’s, not your siblings’, and not your parents’.” The self-reflection and discovery, while at times challenging, is illuminating for students. As the transition of leadership occurs, what will you try to build upon that Marty solidified in her three years? Marty Elkins and the team she assembled with Keith Hrasky and Britney Cullinan have been celebrated for championing a change in the college search, application, systems, and structure surrounding the college process within the NHS community. My conversations with college representatives confirm that Marty and the NHS College Counseling Office have changed the way that NHS and our students are perceived and understood by college admission offices. The School’s mission, core values, Foundations of Learning, and signature experiential learning programs

are congruent with what college and universities aspire toward within their own learning communities. As they contemplate desired intellectual characteristics, qualities of being, and educational experiences of their applicant pools, while very intentionally building communities through the admission acceptances, there is much to celebrate and covet from New Hampton School candidates. How does the College Office’s work relate to the rest of the independent school? The view into independent schools from the college counseling vantage point is like no

other. It is equal parts an internal and external position, much like wearing bi-focal glasses. The internal lens focuses on the here and now of student aspirations, parent questions, curriculum development, program outcomes, and so forth. The external lens is drawn out to the realities of marketing, branding, telling the story, and making the case to college admission representatives, prospective families, and alumni. It is imperative that I look at and understand an issue through both lenses to develop a full appreciation of its many facets. I am also reminded of the coach telling a player to keep his or her “head on a

swivel.” That’s how it feels in college counseling. We need to understand and believe in the NHS programs in order to make the most compelling case possible when presenting the NHS experience of our students to colleges. Similarly, we need to be keenly attuned to the external realities and proactive in sharing those insights with the NHS faculty and administration. Something as simple and seemingly innocuous as what we choose to name a course has far-reaching implications for our students in particular and New Hampton generally.

The Class Notes below reﬂect information received through July 23, 2012. Please send news and/or high-resolution photos of yourself or other alumni to include in these pages to Hamptonia Class Notes, Alumni Ofﬁce, New Hampton School, 70 Main Street, New Hampton, NH 03256 or e-mail alumni@newhampton.org. Thank you.

41 John Meloney was kind enough to pass along photos of the ﬁre, which occurred at Randall Hall in 1939, during a recent downsizing endeavor. He recalled that students left early for the December holidays that year because the dorm was not habitable for a period after the ﬁre.

44 George Ahl sent a copy of his latest book, Northwest Connecticut 1633–1745, for inclusion in the library collection. He also shares that his granddaughter, Signe, who attends Deerﬁeld Academy, competed in the nepsac ski races held last February at Proctor Academy, sixty-eight years after he competed on the same hill for nhs! Bill Rankin recently shared a photo of Myles Ambrose and him, who were roommates at New

Hampton School during the 1940–41 and 1941–42 academic years. The photo was taken at Myles’ 85th birthday party celebration at his home in Leesburg, Virginia, on July 23, 2011. Bill added that Myles and he attended grammar school together prior to reconnecting at New Hampton School, and they have remained in touch ever since childhood. Bill lives in Falls Church, VA, is a cpa and worked for various accounting ﬁrms as well as cfo for a subsidiary company of Control Data Corp. While Bill is listed on the Class of 1944 alumni roster, he did not return to New Hampton School after 1942 because of World War II. Bill has been married for 55 years, has eight children, 14 grandchildren and four great grandchildren, one of whom is named Bill Rankin IV.

46 Ed Sutton recently informed the Alumni Ofﬁce that he sold his New Hampshire home and has relocated to Palm City, Florida.

47 John Linscott shared with T. Holmes ’38 and Jinga Moore that his original musical, Love and Lobsters, was shared in a staged reading at the Freeport Factory

John Duffett writes, “It is interesting to get info about New Hampton, but because I live in Georgia; I am unable to attend any functions. I am going back to my 60th at Bates College in early June, and at age 81 probably won’t get back to New England. I am very impressed with your headmasters, including T. Holmes Moore ’38. Although Bud was a natural, the quality of the newer ones is also outstanding. When I went to New Hampton, it was because my father was a classmate of Fred Smith ’10 at Bates. When I arrived, there was no room at the inn, and so I initially slept in beds temporarily vacated because they were in the inﬁrmary—times have changed. New Hampton was quite full due to returning World War II veterans. John would love to hear from classmates at Joan@Duffett.com.

49 W. Bruce Crowell wrote that New Hampshire was too far to travel from Mississippi for Reunion but sent along his best regards to all!

50 Pierre Fauteux also connected with T. Holmes “Bud” Moore ’38 recently: “It will not be possible for us to attend the coming Reunion Weekend. How nice it would have been to visit New Hampshire and to see you and Jinga again, but during that time we will be in Cuba checking out everything that can be seen and experienced. That should be quite an interesting adventure. After that we will return to California, hopefully on time, to be present for the birth of another grandchild. This time a girl. We are pretty excited about that, too. Your

handwritten words on the invitation, Bud, were touching and appreciated. Have a good summer and stay healthy. All the best to you and Jinga.” In making plans to attend his 60th nhs Reunion last June, W. Reid Pepin shared in a letter to T. Holmes Moore ’38 that “of all the teachers I encountered during an academic career culminating in a dds degree you are the most memorable and I shall be forever grateful for your inﬂuence.”

54 Peter Charron writes that while he was unable to attend Reunion last summer, he is looking forward to getting together with some of his fellow classmates when he makes his annual New Hampshire visit in July.

55 John W. Chang writes that he has recently retired from his work as Managing Director and General Manager of one of the earliest U.S. joint ventures in China. Upon his graduation from nhs, he went on to attend mit. He notes with a great deal of interest the number of students from China who currently attend nhs, because in 1955 he was the School’s only Chinese student! John and his wife Nellie recently returned to campus to participate in Reunion 2012.

56 Edward Ghang wrote to T. Holmes “Bud” Moore ’38, sharing that T. Holmes has always been Edward’s “silent mentor” and credits nhs with providing him a solid academic foundation for success. His wife Mary and he celebrate 10 years of retirement in Korea next year, having lived more than 50 years in the United States for education and employment. He adds, “Now I realize the power of education is indispensable. I believe the spirit of nhs truly helped me to succeed in

life.” He is currently writing a book, an autobiography based on his experiences in both the U.S. and Korea. Richard L. Ham recently contacted nhs to update information regarding his military service in response to the last issue of the Hamptonia, which featured several alumni who have served their country. He served in the U.S. Navy from 1957–61 aboard the uss Springﬁeld (CLG-7), a guided missile cruiser in the Mediterranean. He has been married to Ruth A.

Jonathan “Jon” Granger shared a summary of travels last summer: “Our neighbors on Boone Lake in Tennessee had never been to Yellowstone National Park and had only used their travel trailer once, so we decided to travel west once more as wagon master. Our first big stop was Fargo, North Dakota, where we met friends who live there. The next big stop was Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, where we met with Kay’s brother and his wife. Next stop was West Glacier National Park and a drive up the “Road to the Sun” to the top. The road only opened on July 16, due to the snow cover. I would recommend this park for anyone who has not been here. Our trip continued to Idaho Falls, and then over to Jackson Hole, Wyoming. This was our third trip here and it is a great spot to visit. Next stop was only 35 miles away and right near the entrance to the Grand Teton National Park, which turns into one of the entrances to Yellowstone. From here, we went to Cody, Wyoming, and another long tour through the Buffalo Bill Firearms Museum. Next part of the trip was to Hill City, South Dakota, and the Custer Wild Life Loop. From here we went to Sturgis, South Dakota, and then headed back home with a stop in Wisconsin to get cheese, lots of it. The total trip was one day short of eight weeks and just over seven thousand miles.” Bruce Marshall has recently been appointed to the position of Dean of the Diocesan School for Ministry serving the Episcopal Church in Northern South Carolina. He writes that he retired 13 years ago after teaching European politics and Economics at the University of South Carolina for 31 years and 11 years at Smith College and Ohio State.

Holmes Moore ’38 that he enjoys the stories which arrive regularly in the Hamptonia.

Michael Shub writes: “Although I missed skiing with Penny Pitou last year, she was out at Vail again this past week and we skied a couple of runs together. She’s still fast.” Michael included two photos, 51 years apart. In the New Hampton 1961 yearbook photo, there’s Penny P. and John Conkling and Michael is the fifth from the left. The more recent photo is of Penny and Michael and was taken at the top of Vail. In reflecting upon his recent 50th Reunion, George Bierlin recalled his classmate James Boivair, who passed away suddenly in 1997. “Jim was a friend for four years and roommate for the last two years at New Hampton, first at Randall and then at the Cottage. Being from Wolfeboro, his parents would often pick us up and take us ‘home’ for the weekend. As we summered on Lake Winnisquam, we would get together each summer until the end of college when life moved on.” George added that he was certain Jim would have been an active participant at the Class of 1961’s 50th nhs Reunion. Mills Williams recently corresponded with the Alumni Office following his 50th nhs Reunion. Mills writes, “New Hampton School was mentioned in the obituary of John Alden Curtis who evidently was in business administration at New Hampton School at some point in his 25-year career in secondary and collegiate institutions. He was 74 years old and died June 14, 2011 in the Boothbay Region. In case the School had not heard, and someone there remembers him, I thought I would pass along the information.”

62 Felipe Lorie was looking forward to attending his 50th nhs Reunion, but a recent health concern prevented him from doing so.

When U.S. Ambassador to Ireland (1957–61), Scott McLeod, died unexpectedly in 1961, while his two sons, Van and Dan (both nhs, Class of 1965) were freshmen, his family established the Scott McLeod Football Award to honor his memory. McLeod, an outstanding sportsman and athlete, received Sports Illustrated’s Silver Anniversary All-American award in recognition of his achievements both as a collegiate football player at Grinnell College (IA) and in his successful professional life. This award recognizes that football player who exhibits the qualities of outstanding spirit, courage and sportsmanship.

Soon thereafter, Mr. O’Connor moved to Texas and found himself in the heart of the oil boom. After much hard work learning the ropes as a roughneck, scout, and land manager, he became the President of Highland Oil and later became ceo of that company’s successor, hri Resources. Along the way he broadened his business horizons with various investment opportunities. He was one of the six Texas distributorships for the Adolf Coors Company and one of the four original partners who acquired the nba’s San Diego Rockets, and brought them to Texas as the Houston Rockets.

donors making a difference institutions. Their greatest legacy for New Hampton School, however, may come decades from now, in the form of a student’s education made possible by a transformative estate gift that the family recently established here. Together, Jason and Rena have pledged $7,200,000 to New Hampton School in their estate plans. An independent school’s endowment operates, in many ways, like a savings account or stock portfolio that individuals rely on for income both throughout their career and in retirement. With good planning and wise investment, the size of the portfolio grows, and each year the individual or institution harvests a small percentage of the fund. With careful planWith a generous, easy laugh and a mischievous smile, Jason Pilalas may be best known for his sense of humor; but when it comes to philanthropy, Jason and his family reveal their true character: a profound generosity borne of great accomplishment, hard work, and a commitment to the experiences that made some of their life experiences possible.

q&a with john yancey ’67 heluva great gift John Yancey found professional success and satisfaction moving up the ranks of his family’s business, “Heluva Good Cheese,” after four years of Babson College. Still, he wanted a greater challenge. Now semi-retired splitting time between Florida and New York, John established his own food brokerage after the sale of the family business. The brokerage evolved into “ Yancey’s Fancy,” another successful cheese business. Proud of his achievements in the business world, John continues to show his faith in New Hampton School by investing in its future, most recently in the form of a pledge toward the Meservey Restoration.

John Yancey ’67 with Dean Jacobson ’68

Tell us a bit about your NHS experience. What brought you to the school? I spent only one year at New Hampton as a postgraduate year, and it became a positive force that set me on the right course for both future education and my career. I had graduated from my local high school with the expectation of going directly to college. Due to the fact that I was the youngest in my graduating class, my father suggested I follow in his footsteps and do a PG year. His experience at a small private school in nearby Hanover led us to the small and quaint village setting of New Hampton, and Headmaster Moore’s great warm welcome sealed the deal. Who was your favorite teacher and why? My favorite teacher at nhs was Mr. Rice, who was not only my English teacher, but my soccer and track coach. His laid-back demeanor when dealing with the misadventures of young students stands out. His coaching skills led us to the Lakes Region championships in 1966 and again in 1967. I was fortunate enough to be the center forward on that talented team in 1966, and was very sorry to hear of his passing. What was one of your fondest memories at NHS? One of my fondest memories was driving to Boston from New Hampton via Brunswick, Maine (Bowdoin College) with my great friend Jimmy Kaufman ’67 in my brother’s yellow 1966 Corvette 427 convertible. What prompted you to make a gift in support of the Meservey restoration and GO BEYOND? I firmly believe in giving back and gifting to worthy efforts surrounding education. This supports my belief. I long ago established a habit of gifting modest amounts to New Hampton’s Annual Fund, which in turn has helped me maintain the New Hampton connection. The timing of the GO BEYOND campaign was perfect to enable me to fulfill the thought of a meaningful gift. What are some of your impressions of NHS today? My reconnection with New Hampton has been great. What I love about New Hampton is the small community feel. My semiretirement combined with the renewed contact from Andy Cohen ’67 and Andrew Menke has kept my enthusiasm for New Hampton alive. My wife and I attended the most recent reunion and were delighted to see how the campus has evolved. The effort to exceed the expectations of all existing and potential students was transparent. r

endowment report 2011–12: from the chairman of the endowment committee New Hampton School’s Endowment Fund (EF) provided significant levels of support to School operations once again this year. During the 2012 fiscal year (July 1, 2011–June 30, 2012), the Fund provided approximately $435,000 to the School to offset operating expenses. Of this amount, approximately $130,000 was designated for scholarship, and the remainder for general School expenses. The Endowment’s value on June 30 was $10.8 million, down slightly from the previous year’s end value of approximately $11.1 million, but after the annual distribution to the School’s operations. New Hampton School has always been fortunate to receive bequests and donations for the Endowment from alumni, parents, faculty, and friends. This year has been no exception. Specific donations received this year have benefitted areas of School Life, including the International Baccalaureate Program, the general endowment fund, scholarship, and professional development. In addition, the Endowment Fund has been designated in several “Planned Giving” gifts, which include Estate designations and insurance proceeds. While not presently included in the Endowment Fund, such Planned Giving designations will be an important part of the future growth of the Fund. Your experience at New Hampton School was made possible by the generosity and planning of the alumni, parents, and friends who came before you. The School will continue to face an ever-changing

O’Hara Family Leaves Lasting Legacy

n January , New Hampton School received a , grant from the Edward E. Ford Foundation in support of professional development opportunities within the International Baccalaureate Program. To secure the donation, New Hampton School was required to match the , through outside donations before December . The O’Hara Family, whose history with New Hampton School spans nearly seven decades, was the perfect partner for E.E. Ford. J. Philip O’Hara is a member of the New Hampton School Class of  and is one of the School’s most loyal alumni. His granddaughter, Kate O’Hara, is a member of the New Hampton School Class of . The entire O’Hara family has been committed to supporting the New Hampton School mission for decades. Phil is an educator at heart, and was a longtime administrator at Brown University. Phil has seen nhs through all manner of circumstances. In particular, his close working relationship with Headmaster Emeritus T. Holmes “Bud” Moore ’ helped shape New Hampton School at a particularly challenging time in the School’s history. “The O’Hara Family are the type of people that schools need to remain relevant and strong

in challenging times,” Moore says. “They support the School in so many ways, ﬁnancially and as examples of people who care about the legacy and the people that make New Hampton what it is as an institution.” Kate ’, daughter of Keith O’Hara P’, recently graduated from Boston University with a Master’s degree in Social Work. Following in her family’s footsteps, Kate has been a loyal donor to New Hampton School since graduating in . The O’Hara family’s involvement in the life of the School is remarkable. Experiencing ﬁrsthand the important role faculty play in the lives of nhs students, the O’Hara Family recognized a growing need to support faculty professional development, making the E.E. Ford grant a relevant opportunity to support. Thanks to the generosity of Phil ’ and his wife Patricia, Kate’s father, Keith and his wife Dena, Kate’s grandmother Ariel O’Hara GP’, Phil’s son John O’Hara, and the O’Hara grandchildren, the E.E. Ford Foundation challenge grant was matched, providing an immediate , for specialized IB faculty professional development at New Hampton School over the next few years. Through this gift, the family also established The O’Hara Family Excellence in Teaching

Prize. The prize recognizes a member of the English department and honors the lasting legacy of the O’Hara Family at New Hampton School. The  recipient of The O’Hara Family Excellence in Teaching Prize was faculty member Andrew Nagy. Andrew began his academic career studying English at The College of the Holy Cross, where his father was a professor. His students describe him as unafraid of trying new teaching methods and sharing new ideas. Andrew’s willingness to be innovative is infectious. He works with students to improve their writing, not just their grade. An advocate for the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program, he is a teacher who has spent much of his time traveling, reading, and writing. He most fondly talks about his time teaching in Thailand, where he met his wife, Newie. New Hampton School is grateful for the generosity of the entire O’Hara Family. The O’Hara’s support of the faculty will have a lasting impact for years to come.

class of 1962 50th reunion gift The Class of  has traditionally been among New Hampton School’s most loyal and generous classes. Their th Reunion year has proven to be no diﬀerent. The Class of  recognized a need to support the Meservey Hall renovation project and was determined to raise money to name a space in the newly renovated Meservey Hall in honor of their class. Historically, Meservey Hall had been home to the School’s Math and Science Departments, with an auditorium on the lower level and the gymnasium in the back. The Pilalas Center for Math and Science was dedicated in the fall of , providing an opportunity to restore Meservey Hall to be the new home for the History Department and Academic Support Program (asp). Recognizing this project as the School’s top priority, the Class of  set an ambitious goal to raise , for their th Reunion Gift, and to name a classroom in this space. The committee led a terriﬁc campaign and raised , from  classmates. They also achieved  participation this year. New Hampton School is extremely pleased to thank the entire Class of  for the lasting legacy they provide for future generations of New Hampton School students. & Ralph A. Edson  Eugene L.

For the ﬁrst time in New Hampton School's history the Class of  achieved  percent participation in their Senior Class Gift eﬀort. Led by a committee comprised of Maddy Blais, Ozzy Morales and AnneMarie Fana, the class set a goal to raise  and reach  participation. As an added incentive, Head of School Andrew Menke agreed to jump in the pond if they reached both goals. With the end of the school year in sight, the class hit the  mark, surpassed their goal by raising over , and enjoyed watching Mr. Menke jump into the pond following their Senior Brunch. Their legacy gift of a bronze sundial adorns the Pilalas Center for Math and Science lawn, marking their time at New Hampton School. & class of 2005 Matthew K. Buck  John G. Mitchell Peyton E.

ifts to the New Hampton School endowment create opportunities for students. So it is little surprise that the late David Heald ’ created the Dave and Jane Heal Memorial Fund. Heald, a classmate of Headmater Emeritus T. Holmes Moore ’, spent a lifetime creating opportunities for others. When you turn back the clock on David’s wonderful life, it was one year as a postgraduate at nhs that provided a transformative experience and led him to Dartmouth College. David never forgot New Hampton School and will be forever memorialized with an endowment fund to support faculty professional development. Previously, the College Counseling Room in the Academic Research Center was dedicated in honor of David and Jane Heald in . The Heald College Counseling Room in the Academic Research Center provides a comfortable place for students to dream big dreams, something David did when he

arrived at New Hampton in  from Nashua, New Hampshire. “New Hampton has been a warm spot in my heart ever since I attended, and it gave me a lot of conﬁdence,” he said in a  interview in the Hamptonia, two years before his passing. Part of a generation that gravitated toward one job and one company, David deviated from the norm and embraced a professional life packed with a variety of experiences and interesting challenges. After serving his country in the Army where he was among the soldiers who fought in the Battle of the Bulge, David returned to his new wife Jane in southern New Hampshire. Instead of entering the family furniture business, David headed north and took over the Hanover Inn at the urging of then-Dartmouth President Hopkins and transformed the Inn into a central social spot in the region. David’s next stint included a job developing Mount Sunapee State Park in the eastern part of

New Hampshire. The park provided skiing and summer recreation opportunities on the lake for generations to come. David later worked for the New Hampshire Department of Tourism and then shifted careers in the s into the mutual fund business. David became a ﬁxture for Putnam Investments and a sought after speaker for sales and marketing professionals throughout the country. Through it all, David remained connected to New Hampton School. He served the School on the Board of Trustees and the Alumni Council and shared his inspiration as a Commencement speaker on two occasions. The podium, whether in the business world or a celebratory event, was always a comfortable place. “I had the ability to speak, the result of taking a wide range of courses at New Hampton and Dartmouth. I was better equipped than all of those guys who went through the business schools and only focused on business,” said Heald. “I succeeded where others failed.” The skills that David developed in New Hampton’s classrooms, as a student and trombone player, and on Burleigh Mountain where he skied, are many of the same that the students of today will acquire thanks to his support of the School. A parent of two nhs graduates Peter ’ and David ’, and a grandparent of Tim ’, David recognized the value of a New Hampton School education. For years to come, his memory and infectious, adventurous spirit will live on through the endowment fund in his name.
