When She Dances

HAMPTONIA 2018 | A THOUSAND WORDS

Carla selected “Wenn Sie Tantz (When She Dances),” by Max Giesinger as a song to study and possibly perform during her semester-long guitar lesson. As she and her music teacher, Doug Thompson, began studying the song, they found the best version featured two guitarists in a simple recording with great harmonies. When Carla decided that she felt confident enough to perform the song in her native language of German at International Night, her teacher, Mr. Thomspon, had to learn the lyrics in German in order to accompany her during the chorus. The final performance was a wonderful example of symmetry as Mr. Thomspson had been Carla’s teacher, coaching her on her vocals and guitar skills, and she had been his teacher, helping him understand and learn a foreign language as her accompanist.

Last fall, we, New Hampton School faculty, staff and Trustees, dug deeply into a Strategic Planning process, culling ideas, trends, research and feedback into a concise, focused and inspiring plan for the future. The results carefully map out next steps for the school. They hone our focus and demand our engagement. While the outcome of our strategic planning process compels us to push forward with intention and enthusiasm, one of the most rewarding aspects of our work was the time we took to consider our past. This was not just a look at the past five or ten years to review our most recent accomplishments — we went all the way back to the school’s founding to understand our roots and the culture and education that has resonated with the New Hampton School community for nearly two-hundred years. As we drive forward, we must not lose sight of this history. Reconnecting with our roots and understanding our core has helped to center our planning process and ensure that our initiatives remain true to the heart of New Hampton School. Many of the priorities outlined in the Strategic Plan are already in process. They are priorities that are featured in the Hamptonia stories you will read today, and that we will build upon in coming years. With our eyes focused on the future and impending Bicentennial, we have much to celebrate from a monumental year, and we can rest assured that New Hampton School is heading in the right direction. From our enhanced art offerings with the addition of the Caruso Ceramics Studio, to the unique college placements that are the perfect match for each student, our agility has allowed us to individualize each student’s experience. In Faces, Mike Gleason ’96 and Jon Shackett exemplify our School’s entrepreneurial spirit as

they turn their hobbies into dreams, brewing and selling beer in the blossoming microbrewery market. Recalling a consistent culture and commitment to authentic learning for nearly two centuries, we took a close look at Project Week to understand the important outcomes our students gain from these programs. The Class of 1968, who participated in their 50th Reunion in June, set a high bar for future reunion years, welcoming back a record number of classmates that contributed to one of the largest reunion gatherings to date. Their spirit and passion is highlighted by Jeff Tulis ’68, who received the Lifetime Achievement Award when he visited in June. New Hampton School also watched two young alumnae compete in the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang. As if that doesn’t overwhelm us with pride, Cayla Barnes ’17 brought home a gold medal as a member of the US Women’s National Hockey Team. All of these stories, from past and current generations of New Hampton School, embody our entrepreneurial spirit, our versatility, our openness and our commitment to education. With great pride and momentum, we are confident in our foundation, cognizant of our core and eager to chart history.

HEADS UP | FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL

In Partnership Those of us who have experienced the New Hampton School community as a student, parent, or employee understand the transformative power of our school. We can identify the people, the events, the achievements, and the failures that contributed to personal growth and preparation for the opportunities afforded following a New Hampton education. As the boarding school landscape becomes increasingly competitive, and we approach the conclusion of our second century, we are never more aware of our need to define the New Hampton School difference for those less familiar with who we are and what we offer. How do we effectively describe the secret sauce that is so apparent when you visit campus, but harder to convey in print or on social media? We often talk with families about how embarking on a New Hampton School experience is not “letting go” of your child,

FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL

but rather developing a “partnership” with our school that allows us to maximize the growth possibilities for each and every student. This includes open lines of communication, trust, and allowing a student to develop his or her voice and ability to self-advocate. In recent years, the notion of partnership with parents, alumni, and even businesses has taken on new meaning as we formulate dynamic programs that lead to meaningful opportunities. As you will see in this issue of Hamptonia, programs such as Project Week are developed in partnership with parents and alumni, service learning days connect our students with other local organizations, and our Alumni in Residence program allows students to consider their own professional futures and the robust alumni network available to them. These are just a few examples of authentic learning enhanced through strong partnerships.

We must continue to consider the ways that New Hampton School will thrive in the years ahead to draw students and families from around the globe to our special campus in central New Hampshire. As family, college and career expectations shift, it is essential to offer new and different partnerships with parents, alumni, and industry professionals that provide avenues for the most relevant learning. This will be an increasingly important ingredient in our secret sauce. With appreciation and best wishes,

THE NEW HAMPTON SCHOOL

DIFFERENCE 2021

On the eve of our bicentennial celebration and with new leadership in place, New Hampton School is poised to write the next chapter in its history, one that builds upon past achievements and establishes a solid foundation for the next 200 years. As our founders so wisely did, we began this work by assessing what the world needs and is likely to need from our graduates. We believe the world needs people of substance and character with the capacity to learn and create independently and collaboratively. It needs people willing to hone and share their individual talents. These beliefs resonate with all members of the New Hampton community and allow us to draw upon our traditional strengths — a nurturing community, a diverse student body, a passionate and talented faculty and staff, and a pristine environment — to create new experiences and programs that will prepare our graduates for lives of purpose and service.

Ceramics

The opening of the Caruso Ceramics Studio, which includes nine pottery wheels, a slab-roller, and high and low firing options has been a wonderful enhancement to the New Hampton School Arts Department. The tactile nature of ceramic art makes it accessible and interesting to students with varied levels of experience. From the pinch-pots many of us made in our elementary days to throwing larger pieces on a pottery wheel, ceramics offers something for everyone. In its first year (since a new studio space was built and opened) New Hampton School offered two ceramics courses each semester. Taught by Art Faculty Charlie Smith, students learned the basics of clay before receiving an introduction to the wheel. Smith is entering his fifth year as a teacher at New Hampton School with a degree in Studio Art, with a concentration in Ceramics from Skidmore College. He was thrilled to learn that a new ceramics studio was being built as it’s a discipline he is passionate about. “It has been incredibly fun and energizing to work with students in the ceramics studio. Some students in the class are frequenters in the arts program, but I’ve also had the opportunity to work with other students that are new to art classes. Seeing my students grow, take risks and collaborate in the studio is what teaching art is all about,” says Smith. Director of Visual and Performing Arts Amy Wilson agrees: “I was here many years ago when the ceramics studio was in the basement of Lane Hall. This new space is fantastic and a perfect expansion of our art offerings. In addition, we have partnered with some local ceramic artists in the community which offers tremendous perspective for our students’ development of technique and their own visions.” This year, the Arts Department will offer several options in ceramics. An introductory level will teach handbuilding with coil and slab construction and the basics of glazing techniques. Students who have already taken Ceramics I will be offered a level II course to further develop their skills, technique and style.

“Seeing my students grow, take risks and collaborate in the studio is what teaching art is all about.”

Music Recording As articulated in New Hampton School’s strategic plan, we’ve rededicated ourselves to experiential learning opportunities. A wonderful example of that goal is the work of the Contemporary Performance Lab this past spring. Throughout the year, students in Contemporary Performance Lab write and perform music, learning about vocals, sound and recording techniques. A culminating activity for this year’s students, the class traveled to The Noise Floor studio in Dover, New Hampshire and laid down their own musical track in a professional working studio. From his control room, Chris Chase, studio owner and sound engineer, communicated with the students and monitored all their instruments, making adjustments, recording new takes, and providing feedback. “I wanted the students to go through the process of writing a song from beginning to end,” says Kyle Masterson, Director of Music. “It is a difficult process and it really requires a high level of collaboration between the members of the group. It is rewarding to watch the song develop to its final form after the completion of the recording process.”

“DO YOU WANT ME” IS AVAILABLE FOR A LISTEN ON SOUNDCLOUD

Leandro Yang ’19 plays drums in Contemporary Performance Lab and shared his new perspective after working through the recording process. “You have the thesis statement first, so you have the basic structure, like the drums and the bass. Then you can add something like an explanation, such as guitar, piano, solos, background singers. All the parts come together to create the final draft”.

TEACHING WITH TECHNOLOGY What does effective use of technology look like in the classroom? New Hampton School set out to truly understand this concept more than 10 years ago when we launched a 1:1 pilot program for the 9th grade class. The success of that pilot program led to a full school transition to a 1:1 iPad program in 2010. Continuing on the path of exceptional use of technology in education, last fall New Hampton School received notice that our Apple Distinguished School status has been renewed through 2019. Through this partnership with Apple, New Hampton School has access to resources and expertise in software, hardware and strategies to maximize technology as a learning tool. In turn, our students continue to develop effective, individualized plans to utilize technology - the iPad - in particular to enhance their educational experience. We recognize that each student learns differently. Students use their iPads as organizational, note-taking, and processing tools. As each student processes information in their own way, some students use their devices to dictate notes rather than write, while others might listen to a book or article rather than visually reading it page by page.

O’CONNOR TEACHING PRIZE

LUKE TOBIN

HEADLINES | ACROSS ACADEMIC ROW

NHS History

Since Luke Tobin joined the English department in 2011, he has demonstrated a broad range of talents and an unending dedication to students. Whether in his nightly preparations for class, his work in the houses or as an advisor, or in his work with student athletes on the soccer field or ski mountain, Mr. Tobin is committed to the 24-hours-a-day, seven-days-a-week life of an independent school teacher. The student leaders who helped us select this year’s award recipient spoke at length about the time he spends preparing classes that are challenging, engaging and student driven. If one were to visit his classes, they would observe the same thoughtful and engaging design, students wrestling with complex questions and making sophisticated use of textual evidence to support their arguments. While the student achievement is admirable, it’s evident that a lot of creativity and preparation underlie it. Outside of the classroom, Mr. Tobin is often found playing ping pong with students in the Small House basement, driving advisees to Dunkin’ Donuts for coffee, playing tennis with students during the New Hampton Open, or shredding with students on the slopes. Whatever he does, he does with his full heart, and his passion for life, sport and learning inspire students to engage fully, to try something new, to learn and grow.

IN THE CLASSROOM

In anticipation of New Hampton School’s 200th birthday in 2021, the academic program is offering a new history course this year in research methods. The class, taught by school archivist Jerrica Crowder and history faculty Ellory Shackett ’13, will explore the history of New Hampton School through hands-on investigation and archival work. Students will focus on individual themes of their choice in our school’s history such as women’s history, athletic history, academic history, or physical changes to the campus, specifically highlighting changes chronologically within that theme and the relationship to correlating points in American history as a framework for understanding. Together with our students, diving into authentic content and research methods, we are excited to see what we uncover about the local history of New Hampton and our school. As a culminating activity, each student will design and plan a final project focused on a topic of personal interest related to our school’s history.

Alumni IN RESIDENCE

Three exceptional, thoughtful and talented alumni returned to campus over the course of last year as part of the Alumni in Residence Program. During their visits, each of these alumni spent time sharing their unique experience with the community over meals, in the classrooms, and in open question and answer forums. The benefits of this program are two-fold. First, we hope to engage the knowledge, expertise, and experience of our alumni with the school and reconnect with former students. Additionally, current students gain exposure to professional opportunities and connections with communities of interest. Our first three visitors included Richard Ryan ’83, Molly Schiot ’98, and Cayla Barnes ’17 (featured on page 46). In addition, New Hampton School students were thrilled to have Chris Syzmanski ’66 as an interim Mandarin teacher during a maternity leave. Jason Silver ’96 returned for a visit in the spring and shared his career experience in professional sports. These alumni visits have opened doors for new partnerships as students connect with industry professionals and alumni are inspired by the education taking place on campus. A student interned at NASA’s Goddard Space Center: in Greenbelt, Maryland where Rich Ryan works, while another spent time working in Boston real estate through yet another alumni connection.

Our Global Community

YANNIK ESSER ’18

Yannik Esser’s story is representative of so many of the global citizens that contribute to our community in that it’s unique, and no two stories are alike. Yannik was born in Germany, is fluent in German, and lived there for many of his summers, yet Yannik grew up in the British Virgin Islands. It’s where he’s lived his whole life except for the four years he spent as a student at New Hampton School. An IB Diploma Candidate, Yannik has an impressive range of interests and talents. Throughout his New Hampton School career, Yannik distinguished himself as humble, earnest and hard-working. Gifted with very strong interpersonal skills, his teacher comments throughout his tenure speak to his ability to connect with others and, most importantly, to bring out the best in them. From group projects to team meetings to classroom discussions to dormitory living, his teachers, coaches, and advisor all speak to his ability to unite people. These qualities made him an effective leader — as the president of the senior class and as an international student leader. In both areas, Yannik embraced his role with humility, growing into a gentle leader who demonstrated concern for others. He has a great, quirky sense of humor matched with an understated confidence that will help him navigate his first fall at Brandeis College and his pursuits beyond.

16 NEW HAMPTON SCHOOL • FALL 2018

When you came for your first year, were you looking for a fouryear boarding school? Yes, we were looking for schools in New England that also had IB. My school in the Virgin Islands was an IB school and I wanted to keep that constant. Were you confident that New Hampton School was the right place after finding it? After the visit, yes. That’s when it all clicked. Before that, there were other schools on the radar, but once I did the visits, New Hampton emerged as the best for me. What are you most proud of from your time here? Probably the way I’ve developed. Freshman year I didn’t speak to anyone. Now I’m Class President. I’ve definitely developed socially a lot. The character development for me has been invaluable. Why did you decide to run for Class President? I thought I was up for the challenge, and since I’d been here for so long, I wanted to see if I could really do it. There’s a lot of work behind it but, at that time, I just thought, “Yeah, why not give it a shot, because it’s been a while and I think I have grown a lot here.” What did you do this year as the Class President that you’re really proud of? The speech for our 100 Days Dinner was one of the best speeches I’ve ever written, and I was confident in my delivery. What will you miss the most after you graduate? My friends. The best part of boarding school was that I had all my friends together in this one space, I’m never going to have the same group of people in the same spot again. Are most of your friends international students or domestic? They are a combination. I have friends from Germany, Ukraine, Russia. And I have friends from all over the States, too. They’re brilliant. What are your plans for next year? Next year I’m going to Brandeis University to study science and bio. Afterwards, I want to go to dental school but, for next year, I’m just trying to stay and get good grades. How did you pick Brandeis? Campus visits were the most important thing for me once I had all the criteria that I was looking for. There are plenty of schools that have the similar programs but it’s always the campus visit and the feeling that you get there that really solidifies everything, and thats the reason I picked my school over the other schools. What do you think from New Hampton will be most useful when you go to college? I think the IB system has prepared me academically for college. I have also developed socially and I’m going to use that a lot in college. I enjoyed being a leader, and I plan to keep using these skills. Tell me a little more about how you’ve grown socially from New Hampton School? I definitely think I’ve developed a new perspective. I’ve never met people from outside of Germany, and New Hampton has such a wide variety of people. The school brings an open-mindedness. Everyone has freedom of thought and there are just so many ideas to share.

KARINA NYUGEN ’18 Kym (Karina) Nguyen landed at New Hampton School ready to take advantage of every opportunity before her. Drawn to the arts and with great enthusiasm for academic challenge, Karina tackled the IB diploma program and dived into the art department offerings. Like Yannik, Karina has her own unique story. Karina is Vietnamese, yet she grew up in the Ukraine. A multi-lingual student, Karina was eager to expand her academic opportunities as much as possible. Working closely with an English Instructor in Kharkiv, she studied English, strengthening her TOEFL as much as possible so that she might then pursue boarding schools in the US. Karina arrived at New Hampton School at the start of her junior year, unlike many of the European students that apply to New Hampton, she was not familiar with the IB

who helped me a lot through this college process. I was not expecting the good news when I opened the email and read, “Congratulations. You got accepted to UC Berkeley!” I had a lot of good options, too. We compared all the schools. Both my parents and I, and Mrs. Berry, agreed that I should go to UC Berkeley. How do you think being at New Hampton School has prepared you for your next steps? New Hampton School has significantly prepared me for college life. I’ve learned how to live independently from my parents. You learn how to care for yourself both in housing responsibilities, leadership opportunities, and to advocate for yourself. New Hampton School prepared me both academically as well as professionally for college life. It is such a huge experience that I am now prepared for. After going to school in the US, will you go back to the Ukraine? I want to live in the US, but I want to contribute as much as I can to the Ukraine and Vietnam. Those countries, in comparison to the US, are developing and need a lot of help from research. They don’t have as much privilege as here, and here, I have many more opportunities in terms of academics and life.

prior to learning about our school. However, once she began learning more, she knew the IB was for her and this is part of what drew her into our community. As a diploma candidate, she particularly enjoyed the IB Art course, but in general appreciated the variety and depth of her academic experience. Karina matriculates at UC Berkeley in the fall where she is planning to study architecture. What did you do while you were here that you’re most proud of? I participated in a lot of arts in the school, both visual art and performing art. I learned a lot about stage managing and theater performance. I learned a lot during my English classes by reading various kinds of books. Before New Hampton, I read only classical books but coming here I learned to read contemporary novels and short stories. It was a huge progress for me to study physics and math, too. Here, I learned how all the theories can be applied to practical things in architectural modeling and other subjects. Is the teaching style different than what you’re used to? Here, teachers are closer to students and they have more personal relationships with each other because the class size is smaller. In my previous school we had 30 people per class. Here, in math, I have only nine people. What will you miss the most when you leave? I think my teachers and my friends. I met so many interesting people from different backgrounds, and I learned so much about Korean culture, Chinese culture, and then I brought my culture, both Vietnamese and Ukrainian. I met life-long friends. Those are my best friends who are going to keep in touch in the future. You will be attending UC Berkeley. How did you pick that school? I decided to apply at the very last minute, and then I asked Mrs. Berry, FALL 2018 • HAMPTONIA 17

INTERNATIONAL NIGHT

18 NEW HAMPTON SCHOOL • FALL 2018

International Night features food, dance, and culture from the thirty different countries represented in our community. It’s a much-anticipated annual event that truly brings out the best of New Hampton School, showcasing diversity, inclusivity, respect and appreciation for one another.

In the days leading up to International Night, students work side by side with faculty and our dining staff to prepare the dishes in the New Hampton School kitchen, taking into consideration recipe adjustments to cook for several hundred people.

Each year, students line up outside the dining hall waiting for the doors to open so that they don’t miss out on any of the specialty dishes prepared by fellow students and staff. Many of our international students have been anticipating this night for days. Months earlier, they met with Katerina Farr-Williams, Director of International Support Programs, and Tom Faba, Director of Dining Services, to make a list of the foods we would need to order to prepare their chosen dishes. Other items were mailed to the school by parents and family members back home.

Dinner is always delicious. Everyone goes back for seconds. Students and faculty rave about the food. Following dinner, the community gathers in the theater to watch cultural performances prepared by students, both soloists and groups. Here, too, students have been rehearsing for weeks. While it is important that we celebrate our diverse community and cultures every day, International Night engages the whole community in honoring our international students and appreciating their important contributions to our global campus.

PERFORMING ARTS

Legally Blonde A stunning performance with an equally impressive student-designed set, the Broadway Jr. musical Legally Blonde JR. was the perfect show-stopper to culminate a season of Performing Arts. The fun, upbeat musical follows adventures of a sorority girl named Elle Woods, a Gemini with a double Capricorn moon, who tries to win her ex-boyfriend back by earning a Harvard Law degree. Elle was played by Mikayla Williams ’18, recipient of the Performing Arts Medal. Mikayla was accompanied by more than 20 other students, some experienced thespians and other first-timers to the stage. A student technical crew crafted lighting and set designs to ensure the vibrant musical was matched with appropriate staging. Director of Theatre Joe Sampson explains his choice in this particular show: “Legally Blonde JR. may be a comedic, light-hearted show, but it also explores serious themes of self-discovery and independence which resonate with people of all ages.” Other shows performed by New Hampton School students last year included Snow Angel, by David Lindsay-Abaire and Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare.

KATERINA FARR-WILLIAMS Katerina Farr-Williams loves her job at New Hampton School, where she has worked for 17 years. Since arriving in the United States from the Czech Republic, Katka has been a dedicated resource for our international families as she communicates with students about travel, helps them transition to boarding school life, and educates the community about our diverse population. TWO REASONS TO LOVE MY JOB MENTORING STUDENTS

Working with young people as a teacher and a mentor, I love helping them grow their strengths and supporting them in developing important skills for their success in a diverse, dynamic and challenging environment. I love meeting and communicating with new students and their families preceding their first year at New Hampton School, building their support network, connecting them with peer mentors, helping with transitions and cultural adjustment to our community. I admire their courage and enjoy watching them build their independence. THE GIFT OF COMMUNITY

My life in a boarding school, along with my involvement with our international students is purposeful and extremely rewarding, as it provides me with the opportunity to grow alongside my students in and outside of the classroom.

I learn so much about each person, the interesting mosaic of their home country and culture, and their personal story. It is amazing to see our students mature into self-confident and open-minded young people, who feel empowered to fulfill their ambitions. TWO OF MY FAVORITE PASTIMES TRAVELING

I love traveling. Particularly traveling in Europe is my favorite free-time activity. While Prague, my home city, has a special place in my heart and I return there frequently, I love planning visits to different European cities during my summer vacation. EXPLORING HISTORY AND CULTURE

I am fascinated by history and culture, and I enjoy exploring how their influence is reflected in architecture, visual arts, food and customs of different places, even within one country or one historical region.

LE FLEUVE SANS FIN BY CHARLES BA OUMAR '18

J’ai parcouru les distances, j’ai vu les bouts des sentiers, Mais le fleuve de mon amour pour toi, je n’ai su le parcourir en entier. Le flot de ce fleuve est rhythmique, tel les battements ponctuels du coeur, Cette musique me transporte telle la pirogue d’un pêcheur. Oh, mais quelles eaux fertiles! Ici la pêche est toujours bonne. J’attrape tes gentillesses par millier, et tes doux regards foisonnent.

Literati, the official literary magazine of New Hampton School, was created as a revival of the former Jabberwocky magazine, and is now a student run organization showcasing a variety of student work. The idea of the magazine came to fruition in 2015, established by a group of students and faculty members. Literati features original creative work, an up-to-date blog, and Voices of New Hampton. Serving as a window into New Hampton School, Literati hopes to focus on maintaining a cohesive and supportive community in which members can fully express themselves. 20 NEW HAMPTON SCHOOL • FALL 2018

Et le soir les étoiles se montrent, Apollon s’endort enfin, Le fleuve s’endort aussi, hélas je n’ai toujours pas vu sa fin. ― translation ―

RIVER WITHOUT AN END

I traveled distances, I saw the ends of the hiking paths, But the river of my love for you, I could not run through it. The flow of this river is harmonious, like the punctual beatings of the heart, This music is carrying me off like the pirogue of a fisher. Oh, what fertile waters! Here the fishing is always good. I catch your kindnesses by the thousands, and your gentle gazes are abundant. And in the evening the stars show up, Apollo is falling asleep at last. The river falls asleep too, alas I still have not seen its end.

COLLEGE CONNECTIONS Quiet and reserved, JR Kreuzburg '18 spent four years on the New Hampton School campus. One might be easily fooled by his tacit composure, yet once you uncover his passion, JR’s thoughts and enthusiasm bubble to the surface. In May, JR departed New Hampton School confident in his choices and excited about his future as a recruited member of the mountain biking program at Lees-McRae College in North Carolina. As Joe Williams remarked in his Commencement speech highlighting the personality of the Class of 2018, marked by students of purpose, focus and individuality, JR’s life as a child of a faculty member provided him with a unique understanding and appreciation for education and the value of hard work and personal challenge. Lees-McRae College has developed one of the best mountain biking programs in the country over the past 10-years. In addition, the small college with just over 1,000 students, located in Banner Elk, North Carolina is a perfect match for JR’s

reserved personality and understanding of community. “A short conversation with JR helped to identify his priorities, and with that, we began developing a list of schools that might best match his needs and interests.” says Director of College Counseling Jennifer Berry. Situated in the southern Appalachian Mountains, LeesMcRae is the perfect setting for JR to study Environmental and Wildlife Biology as an avid outdoorsman. Unlike JR, JT Wheelock '18 transferred to New Hampton School looking for a place where he felt comfortable and was excited to contribute to the community. Initially drawn to New Hampton School by the friendly and supportive vibe he picked up on even before visiting, the fact that he could keep his own horse nearby as part of our school’s equestrian program helped to seal the deal. During his three-years at New Hampton, JT rode all season long, traveling to the nearby barn after classes most days. His

shared passion for the sport of equestrian and his horse helped balance his journey through school, offering opportunity to build confidence, comradery and competition. As JT set out on his college process, he knew a strong equestrian program would be essential, yet also needed to be balanced with the right community and academic opportunity. Not only does Findlay University provide JT with the opportunity he desires to continue competing in equestrian, the school, located in Findlay, Ohio, also specializes in animal science and equestrian studies so JT can delve even deeper into his interests in veterinary practice. Two years ago, New Hampton School added a position for a part-time college counseling officer to help students navigate college athletics, recruiting and NCAA standards. Students and parents have already recognized the benefit of this new guidance and support.

NORDIC SKIING DUGGAN ’ 19

Represents Husky Nation

Caleb Duggan ’19 was the proud lone face of New Hampton School’s Nordic Ski Team for the 2017-2018 school year. As a day student, Caleb would frequently retreat at the end of his academic day to train at Gunstock Nordic Association in nearby Gilford, New Hampshire with a Russian Olympian who has earned multiple gold medals. During the regular season, competing in Lakes Region events, Duggan ranked 6th in the region. With multiple top finishes in New Hampshire races, Duggan qualified for Team New Hampshire, which would compete against other top racers in New England. Duggan completed his season at the eastern high school championship at Black Mountain in Jackson, New Hampshire. The competition included the top 24 male and female skiers from New Hampshire, Maine, Massachusetts, New York and Vermont. At the end of a long weekend of racing, Caleb placed 14th in the state of New Hampshire and 61st in all of New England. Duggan began Nordic Skiing his freshman year of high school and takes advantage of exceptional terrain and snow in central New Hampshire to continue building his knowledge and skill in the sport, with hopes of finding a competitive nordic ski program in college.

NHS on TEAM USA The New Hampton School community eagerly tuned into the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, Republic of Korea on TV and social media to cheer for two Husky alumnae.

Father and Son

SHAWN ’ 96 AND SHANDON ’ 18 BROWN When Shawn Brown realized his son Shandon needed something different in his high school experience to give him the best chance of playing collegiate basketball at a high-level academic institution, he knew exactly the right place. The realization brought him back to his own experience as a post-graduate at New Hampton School, where teachers, coaches and the community supported him into becoming the person he is today. “At the time, I didn’t understand how all of the pieces came together to allow me to excel academically and athletically, but now as a parent I truly see boarding school, and my New Hampton experience, as an incredible opportunity that I was lucky to have.” Standing at 5 feet 9 inches and 160 pounds, Shandon entered his junior year at New Hampton School with high expectations for himself. To achieve his goals, Brown knew he needed to put in countless hours of practice and study, while also leading as a positive role model within the community. Taking advantage of every day on campus, it was not unusual for him to be in the gym by 6:00 am, getting in extra shots with his coaches, giving tours during his free block to prospective students, and leading 24 NEW HAMPTON SCHOOL • FALL 2018

school assemblies and talent shows with his classmates. For Shandon and his dad, it wasn’t about just being the best basketball player — it was about being the best student, person and community member. “Basketball is really important, but there was so much more than that for me at New Hampton,” remarks Shandon. In two short years on campus, Brown fulfilled the goals he set out for himself when he started at New Hampton School. Appointed captain of the Men’s Varsity A Basketball Team, Coach Nick Whitmore comments, “Shandon was a consummate teammate, leading through his actions and his words. He graduated from New Hampton with two New Hampton Invitational Championships, and he excelled in the classroom.” In the New Hampton School Invitational, Brown was named the Andrew Sloan Most Valuable Player. In March, he was named New Hampton School athlete of the month for his “exceptional leadership, passion and adept skill in leading the youngest team in NEPSAC AAA to the championship game.” Brown didn’t limit his achievement and contributions to the court. In the community, he was always a presence, whether he was

helping new students acclimate to life on campus or raising awareness for his peers on what it means to be a Husky. Director of Student Life Scott LeBrun said of Shandon’s leadership, “Shandon was far more than simply a good athlete; he was the kind of community member that others looked to. Shandon knew what he wanted from his New Hampton experience and he didn’t waiver in his commitment to making his dreams a reality. Humble, hardworking and kind are attributes that defined Shandon’s character at New Hampton; even with all of his success, he never lost sight of the ways he could help others on campus. He was a truly selfless proctor, captain, and friend to many.” For Shandon, all of his hard work during his time at New Hampton paid off when he was accepted with a full scholarship to play basketball at The George Washington University. “My time at New Hampton prepared me for both basketball and the college lifestyle of living on campus and away from home. I will truly miss it; all the teachers who I’ve had the chance to build relationships with, the student body, and all of the fun that comes with being a Husky. Without New Hampton, I honestly don’t think any of this would be possible.”

Using the school theme for the 2017-2018 year to frame his welcome, Head of School Joe Williams addressed the Class of 2018 at our School’s 197th Commencement ceremonies. “You have allowed us to push you during this educational journey to Rise Up and embrace new challenges, which has increased your confidence and understanding for the limitless opportunities that await you as you leave New Hampton School, spreading your wings for the adventures that lie ahead.” Mr. Williams acknowledged individual graduates who have carefully selected the best next opportunities for them to exemplify the thoughtful authentic nature of this class. Among those, he named Nikki Bronson, a four-year senior who has dedicated herself to the rescue and rehabilitation of horses, choosing to study at UNC Wilmington in the Animal and Marine Science program. He also named Z (ZeRui) Huo who attended bilingual schools since age four, an IB Diploma Candidate who continues his lifelong quest for discovery at Carnegie Mellon University. Another example was JR Kreuzburg (see page 21), a New Hampshire native, who is quiet yet confident and eager to attend LeesMcRae College in North Carolina for their outstanding cycling program.

group of individuals, Mr. Williams closed by acknowledging the whole group. “My point is, each of you, our graduates today, has a unique story, an accomplishment to celebrate and exciting opportunities ahead that we look forward to following.”

Commencement Speaker Phil Sawyer ’68, who would return the following week for his 50th New Hampton School Reunion, spoke to students about the world in which we live.

We cannot control the probability, but as individuals, we can imagine, take risks and pursue fulfillment.

missions as predominately social beings; to spend less time with their screens and more time communing and enjoying their friends and colleagues. In his words, “living a life of grand and glorious possibility.” Pat Roth was selected by his classmates as the Ben Cecil Commencement Speaker. Following his freshman year, Pat departed New Hampton for a year and then chose to return for his last two years of high school, sharing the experience with his brother Will. In his closing remarks, Pat noted, “Thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak to you today. I hope none of you took your time at NHS for granted, because like my oldest brother Kevin said to me when he graduated, ‘College is fun. You’ll find some of your best friends there. But it’s the friends you make at New Hampton that you want to keep forever.’”

MESERVEY MEDAL WINNER

Eva Hodgson ’18 Known as the school’s most prestigious award, the medal itself is named after Atwood Bond Meservey and honors a graduate each year for their contributions to academic, co-curricular and community life. While the medal may only go to one student, the spirit of the award embodies many of the qualities that have been instilled in generations of New Hampton School graduates.

The legacy of the Meservey Medal winner continues each year at Commencement. This year’s Meservey Medal recipient captures all of the above and continues the tradition with exceptional contributions to the school and others in our community. Eva Hodgson was a three-year student, a three-sport varsity athlete, a student leader and, before graduating, made her debut as an actor in the spring play. Eva’s presence was known around campus and her welcoming smile helped connect the whole community. She led her peers with enthusiasm and honesty as the student body co-president, working closely alongside her classmate, Patrick Kramer ’18, to help set the standard for this new form of student leadership. Described by others as a wonderful ambassador for the school with a great attitude and positive energy, she began the year as a full IB student but made the difficult decision to discontinue her pursuit of the full diploma program in order to have a more balanced course-load that allowed her to devote more time to serving the school community. Outside of the classroom, she demonstrated a maturity beyond her years and a commitment to supporting the needs of others. So moved by her Kurn Hattin Project Week experience the year prior, she organized a drive for clothing and art supplies and delivered the items to the school on her own time. During winter months, Eva played her heart out with her basketball teammates, while each spring she chose to try a different sport including tennis, softball and lacrosse, always finding success due to her tireless and focused work ethic. She also started the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, cultivating her own passion on campus. Eva matriculated to William and Mary College in the fall of 2018, and will bring her bright spirit, service, and compassion to a new community. FALL 2018 • HAMPTONIA 29

RE U NIO N M EM ORIES Gary Margolis, Class of 1963, and Associate Professor of English and Literature Studies at Middlebury College, shared his poem "Reunion Stories" with the school following Reunion 2018. His poem alludes to Ralph Waldo Emerson’s attendance at a New Hampton graduation that he learned of during his visit.

"REUNION STORIES" BY GARY MARGOLIS

CONNECTIONS | REUNION Some of us will have to come back from the dead to correct the stories classmates tell about us. I’m telling you Ralph Waldo Emerson sat in a wooden, folding seat at my Commencement in 1865. And said a few words at the close. And, it’s rumored, across the centuries, he saw my mother a few rows forward and asked his host, a teacher at my school, if he knew her name and where she lived. A question my uncle overheard and didn’t share with my father. Who, no one knew, was the only Jew sitting among those Free-Will Baptists. Who, I just learned, believed anyone could be taken in, saved by Jesus. And graduated. Even me. With a grade-point average God found His Way to let me pass. To pause, as I marched out, in front of Mr. Emerson, and say, “I know we both love my mother”. As if he knew I could read what was in his mindful heart and forgive him. And the sword that pierced me, (not the love of Jesus) just before the war ended and I was readying myself to walk across as many states as I could back to New Hampton, New Hampshire. To pick up my diploma I left under my chair. In my rush to kiss my mother and father. Who weren’t afraid, in those days, to send their Jewish son, away from Boston, to learn as much as could near that Pemigewassett baptismal, river How stories can change a life, when they’re told at a reunion. How there will be a classmate there to read what Emerson wrote on the back of his program, a curator would find and keep, his rolled-up scroll of a program. The almost invisible ink, still rising. “Do the thing you fear and the Death of fear is certain.”

Was the Academic Support Program a big draw for you? Yes. The other schools I visited didn’t have something like this, so for a school to offer an integrated support program was really amazing. I knew I would need support to manage my dyslexia and New Hampton could give me that. How have you grown through the Academic Support Program? When I first arrived here, I was pretty well organized, but towards the end of my sophomore year, I had to learn to manage my time and school a lot more. I learned, “I need to plan out how I’m going to finish this, then do my homework, and then I’ll still have time to have a social life and all that stuff.” By my junior year, it was pretty easy, and then by my senior year I didn’t need any Academic Support.

How do you feel about being on your own in college? I’m pretty nervous, but I think I can handle it. As long as I take my time and do my best, I’ll be okay. What did you find at New Hampton that you weren’t expecting? I was surprised by how strong a connection you make with others in the community, friends and teachers. It’s cool to live with teachers who might also coach you. You were drawn to the Performing Arts program here. Was this new for you? I did plays and the musicals at The Carroll School, but the program is much bigger here. Mr. Masterson took a chance on me not having much experience, and now I am part of the contemporary performance lab and perform and have fun doing what I love. 40 NEW HAMPTON SCHOOL • FALL 2018

sophomore year confidently belting out the song she wrote in an auditorium full of students and parents with charisma and gusto. However, this was something that happened on multiple occasions before Mikayla graduated. Mikayla arrived at New Hampton School from The Carroll School in Lexington, Massachusetts. Aware that she needed and wanted specific support in her academic career, New Hampton School was added to the list, and rapidly became the favorite as she familiarized herself with the performing arts and academic programs, and the community. A frequent face on the stage, Mikayla delved into the performing arts program in particular. On stage, she mastered both acting and vocals, performing in every school play offered during her three years here, and participating in the Contemporary Music Lab. In addition, Mikayla frequently led tours for the admission office, something she was very excited to do when she arrived, and served as a student proctor, leading her peers and acting as an older sister to younger female students.

How have you grown in the performing arts program? I can sing without getting nervous, and I’ve grown as a singer. I learned new techniques, and recorded songs. What are your plans for next year? I will attend Assumption College in Worchester, Massachusetts. I’m undecided about what I’ll study but that’s ok for now. I’ll still sing and plan to join the Assumption Chorus Choir. They travel and sing all over the world. Do you have ideas on what you might like to do after college? I want to be in the arts. As long as I’m doing something that I like, with music or art, I’ll be happy. What are you going to miss the most? Performing in concerts, and the community here, and the traditions like Powder Keg and dress dinners. What are your biggest takeaways from three years at New Hampton School? First, it’s okay to be yourself, and second, always try new things because you may like it in the end. What are some risks that you took while you were a student? I played JV soccer which I hadn’t done in years, but I thought, “Let me just try this,” and I was captain last year. I also helped with the yearbook. And, again, performing in front of the whole school. The only time I ever performed before New Hampton School was at church, in front of a congregation that knew me and loved me.

TOM DIEHL

Tom Diehl taught at New Hampton School for 27 years, from 1965-1992. He returned to campus this past June, a special guest of the Class of 1968, who were celebrating their 50th anniversary. Forever remembered for his dedication, friendship, and lasting impact as an educator, the Class of 1968 requested his presence at their 50th reunion and created an endowed fund in his honor. Lucky for New Hampton School, Diehl spends part of his retirement in New Hampshire where he lived much of his adult life, and he has joined us for several reunions in recent years, staying connected to the school and many of his former students.

With two brothers I grew up in Manheim, Pennsylvania, a small town in farming country, where sports (I played football, basketball, & baseball) mattered more than academics. Oddly, though, going to school there might have helped me to get into Amherst College, where most of my classmates had gone to prestigious suburban high schools and prep schools (I was probably a “let’s get some diversity” candidate.) I had lots of catching up to do. High school had not prepared me to be skeptical, to be in classes where Socrates hovered, to understand that “Why do you think something?” matters more than “What do you think?” I went to Amherst expecting to get a liberal education (whatever that meant); I came away understanding that education is not something you “get” but, rather, is something that happens when you keep asking questions. After graduating from Amherst in 1963, I went to Harvard for a Master of Arts in Teaching degree in English, taught for a year at Hingham High School in Massachusetts, and then came to New Hampton School, where I taught sophomore and senior English classes. In the winter of 1968, Director of Studies Dave Rice told me that several members of the senior class had asked him if I could offer an elective. His answer was yes, experimentally, as a non-credit elective that would have to meet at night rather than during the regular class day. More than 20 seniors showed up. Curious students asking to do extra work for no credit — could a student/teacher situation be better than that? I loved it. I think the students did too. My sweetest memories from my teaching years are of students challenging me to be at my best by reading thoughtfully and asking probing questions. Throughout my 28 years at New Hampton School, I continued to teach senior English and senior electives in philosophy, African-American writers, and great novels, to coach the girls’ volleyball and boys’ tennis teams, to advise Jabberwocky, the school’s literary magazine, and to assist in other sports and activities. Meanwhile, my wife Dot, my high school sweetheart, also did some teaching and coaching when girls became part of the student body, and Dot went on to earn a doctorate in PE at the University of Illinois. She taught at Plymouth State from 1972 until she retired in 2003. Our twins, John & Emily, also did some teaching after leaving Kenyon and Harvard. They are now married and living too far from us in Colorado and Kentucky. Since retirement, Dot and I spend the warm months on our farm in Alexandria, New Hampshire and the cold months in Naples, Florida. In Alexandria, we feed ourselves from a fairly large garden and some fruit bushes and trees, we go out dancing whenever we can, and we play lots of tennis. In Naples, we don’t grow our own vegetables and fruit, so we have much more time for dancing and tennis - and, for me, bridge. We’ve been fortunate, and we are happy.

Faculty Profile JONATHAN SCHWAB Director of Experiential Learning, History Faculty Now in his 10th year of teaching, Jonathan Schwab arrived at New Hampton School six years ago as a history teacher. Initially new to boarding schools, he quickly grew to appreciate the opportunities to connect with students in and out of the classroom that are found in a residential environment. During his time on campus, Jonathan has worked as a history teacher, soccer coach, house head, and now as the Director of Experiential Learning. In the past two years, Mr. Schwab has led an effort to implement more projectbased learning into the curriculum, in addition to coordinating Project Week and Service Learning programs for the whole school. Jonathan lives in Moore House with his wife Mary and their three children. Together, they enjoy the benefits of living in New Hampton School’s diverse community and also taking advantage of our school’s exceptional geographic location. How did your teaching career begin? I remember having a positive high school experience in a small, independent school. I was inspired by one good teacher in particular who cared about what we were doing in and out of the classroom. I went to college and kind of serendipitously went on to grad school because Mary, my college sweetheart and now my wife, was going to go to grad school in Vermont, and I thought “that’s a good idea.” I decided I’d pursue teaching after that.

What drew you toward experiential education? I think it started with my own, relatively traditional, high school experience. I was an athlete, and when my family moved from Kansas City to Pennsylvania, my new school didn’t have the sport I wanted to play so I signed up for the outdoor club. We tried kayaking and whitewater canoeing and other activities. I learned more there than I did in the classroom. The experiences were lasting memories. It ties in with the residential program at boarding school where the school day extends beyond 70-minute classes. Learning is everywhere and these are powerful experiences. How do you see Project Week evolving in the future? Project Week is permeating other areas of the school. My first year here, it was very much a singular experience. Now, the community talks about Project Week throughout the year, not just in March. For example, students take ideas they are learning about in class and propose digging into them during Project Week. The opportunities for project-based learning are endless. What connections have emerged from Project Week? We have seen partnerships with alumni and other organizations emerge from Project Week. Connections that began during project week are extending to offer additional opportunities for our students such as a summer internship or a year-long service project. How do you see experiential education changing the education landscape today? I’m reading a book right now called What School Could Be

by Ted Dintersmith. I’m really interested in the idea that education should be more focused on student outcomes and not student results, and what matters more than test scores is what a student can actually do. A student should be able to use experiential learning as a way to explore what they’re interested in and then see if they can use it to inform what they do next. To me, it’s less about the materials that people have to work with and more about the outcomes. What do you love about New Hampton School? I love the unapologetic, unpretentious nature of our school. We’re really serious about what we do, but there’s an openness and comfort in our day to day that I don’t see at many schools. What I like most about working here is that we go full steam ahead with new initiatives. So much of education is entrenched in schools. We have a solid history and foundation, but I like that we’ve got a little bit of a fighter’s edge to us. What do you like about living in New Hampshire outside of school? I became acquainted with New England during college and stayed for grad school. I like that people look out for each other around campus and around town. I like the changing seasons and that people will play outdoors even if it’s negative 20 or 95 degrees. We live in beautiful rural New Hampshire, but with the benefit of a cosmopolitan student body. For example, my kids hear people speaking different languages in the dining hall and in the dorm.

CRAFT INTO Many alumni speak of an entrepreneurial spirit they attribute to their New Hampton School experience. “Taking risks,” “standing out,” “not being afraid to fail,” are phrases often used to describe the confidence and character New Hampton School builds in our alumni. Following their New Hampton experience, Mike Gleason ’96 (and former ASP faculty), and Jon Shackett, former Biology teacher, both called upon these character traits to pursue new professional goals, digging into a passion to see if it could become a career. Both men, respectively, have successfully turned a weekend hobby of brewing beer into a full-time profession. 44 NEW HAMPTON SCHOOL • FALL 2018

FACES | IN THE WORKFORCE

MIKE GLEASON ’96 A 1996 graduate of New Hampton School, Gleason returned to campus after graduating from Lynchburg College to work in the Academic Support Program, serve as a coach and house parent. This provided an opportunity for Gleason to connect with students and give back to a place that had a positive impact on him. “After graduating from NHS, I was so appreciative of what the school gave me that I wanted to give back.” With two years teaching under his belt, Mike moved to Colorado where he continued in the same field and began making his own home brews (some better than others) on weekends. After 4 years of brewing his own beer, a career change was in store and Gleason was ready to take a “New Hampton risk” that his time as a student encouraged him to make. Trading in papers and pencil sharpening for on-the-ground experience in the field, Gleason found himself in Fitchburg, Massachusetts volunteering his time for a local brewery that could not afford to pay him — now the famous Jack’s Abby Brewery. “For about 6 months, I was the shadow of the Owner/ Brewer learning everything I could about running a production brewery.” Gleason’s risk and patience paid off as business grew and so, too, did his title. Gleason now resides as the Head Brewer for Jack’s Abby Brewery, located in Framingham, MA. In his role today, Gleason oversees all operations of the brewhouse from

maintenance, inventory, ordering and recipe writing to other day-today needs. Jon Shackett spent a number of years as part of the faculty, living on campus, coaching and advising. Alongside teaching, his passions led him to start brewing his own beer. “I began home brewing in 1992. I visited a friend from college who was brewing beer and was immediately hooked. It combined my interests in science and art with my love for fermented beverages.” After spending years trying new recipes and tinkering with different formulas, Shackett opened his first brewing location for the public in nearby Bristol, New Hampshire in 2014. Due to increasing demand and lack of space, Shackett began asking himself what was next: keep things the way they were, or run with the momentum? After 10 years teaching at New Hampton School, it was time to make brewing beer a full-time job. With an appreciation for community, Shackett wanted to keep things local and was thrilled to find a new location in downtown Bristol where he could see increased foot traffic and have ample space to hone his craft. Shackett’s Brewery opened in the spring of 2018. Guests also love the selection of games on hand, ranging from cards to Connect 4 and shuffleboard. FALL 2018 • HAMPTONIA 45

Though the exact form may vary, project-based learning has always played a role in New Hampton School history, based on the knowledge that students often learn best through experience. The formal tradition of Project Week began during the 1970s, then lapsed briefly during the 1990s as other priorities came into view. Project Week was reinstated by former Head of School Andrew Menke, in 2006, who was committed to providing project-based learning opportunities and eager to see the school continue to offer this distinctive experience.

As it stands today, Project Week falls the week before March break each spring, and the entire student and faculty body suspend their traditional academic schedule to investigate an essential question, immersing themselves in a topic of their own selection. Projects are designed in partnership between students and faculty, who raise questions and ideas to further explore regarding topics about which they are passionate. Projects range from campus-based discoveries of engineering, baking, arts, community service, and the Lakes Region tourism industry, to exploration of topics in New England, across the country and overseas. Internationally, students have studied theater in London, photography in Prague, Mayan culture in Belize and ecology in Costa Rica. New Hampton School believes in the transformational power and lasting value of project-based learning and has invested energy and resources into Project Week and experiential education. Following the recommendation and expertise of Director of Experiential Learning Jonathan Schwab, our school continues to find ways to integrate experiential opportunities throughout the curriculum. "Experiential learning — learning outside the classroom — allows our students to connect the skills and habits of mind they are learning in the classroom to real life opportunities, putting them into action. These experiences, from Project Week and other opportunities, allow for authentic, memorable, meaningful learning. Project Week may be at the heart of New Hampton School's experiential learning, but with this strong core, opportunities abound to dive deeper into real-life topics through travel, service, and connections." The four projects highlighted in the following pages provide a sense for the breadth and depth of exploration our students realize from their week-long investigations each March.

EXPLORING SPIRITUAL

DIVERSITY

Project Week is aided by friends and partnerships around the world. Former Dean of Faculty Dan Love now serves as the Director of Teaching and Learning at the American International School Chennai. Following a passion for mindfulness education, Director of Student Activities Jen Churchill and Mandarin and History Faculty Meg Pechenik connected with Love to see if there might be a way to partner and create a trip to India, the birthplace of four major world religions and a center of mindfulness training and practice, for New Hampton School Students. Love was thrilled to share his new country with his former school and with insight and assistance from himself, his family, and the staff at the American International School Chennai, New Hampton School put together a trip to India to investigate the essential question, "How does a community and individual practice tolerance of various religious and spiritual beliefs while fostering one's own spiritual growth?" Twelve students and two faculty traveled across the Atlantic Ocean, for seven days on the ground in Chennai. The group traveled to mosques, temples and spiritual centers. They participated in traditional Indian rituals such as a meditative satsang at Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centre, and engaged in cultural activities and workshops at the American International School Chennai, their home base for the week. "These experiences had the added effect of prompting our students to confront extreme cultural and economic difference which led to a deeper level of contemplation and group discussions," explains Churchill. While we are lucky at New Hampton School to live in a community that is more diverse than our surroundings in rural New Hampshire, this trip was an opportunity for our students to practice living global citizenship and experiencing, in the greater world, much of the conversation we have on campus. Our Student Life curriculum places emphasis on respect, empathy, diversity, and open-mindedness. For students traveling in Chennai, tension and tolerance was all around them and brought these 48 NEW HAMPTON SCHOOL • FALL 2018

guiding principles into a new light as they experienced diversity elsewhere. The generosity of staff from the American International School Chennai helped to frame each day for New Hampton School students. Each morning, the group received a lesson and gathered expertise on the city and culture from expert staff at the school. Then, they would spend the afternoon exploring the topics first hand at local religious centers and through cultural activities. Allie Soper '19 shared some of her experience with the school community and prospective students shortly after she returned. "Through my experience in India, I was able to develop a better understanding of religion, how it is defined, and what it means to different people," she reflected. "I gained insight through riding rickshaws, visiting temples, eating food, and practicing different forms of meditation and yoga. By learning more about a different society, I gained a level of respect I couldn’t have had otherwise and a different perspective on the people and the traditions of typical Indian life." There are countless opportunities for New Hampton School students to lead and role-model for one another during daily life on campus, as well as in these exploratory settings. With new perspective and memorable experiences, students like Allie, and many others who benefit from stepping outside their comfort zone, become increasingly strong contributors in the day-to-day life of our school.

BUILDING A

Students don't need to travel far to have memorable experiences, and it's a nice break from routine to spend some time on campus engaged in new activities with new friends and teachers. Director of Performing Arts and passionate chef Joe Sampson partnered with History Faculty Craig Churchill to design a project investigating the science and construction of Brick Ovens, in particular, for making brick oven pizza. They also used the brick oven as a tool to investigate community and food, thinking about how the oven (and delicious food) can bring the community together. They enlisted the help of our talented facilities staff and worked closely with Bob Coursey from the department to design and build their own brick oven, in addition to learning about and exploring local brick oven pizzerias. To gain insight from experts in the field, the group took a day to visit Flatbread Company in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. They were given a tour of the restaurant and kitchen, and shown how pizzas cooked and were prepared specifically for this type of oven. Following a tour and questions, the group, of course, sampled several varieties of pizza. Sampson shared how the kitchen staff, “explained to students the purpose and function of their giant brick oven and that they never let the fire go out so that the oven is always ready when it is time to cook pizzas.” The group also visited the home of former Dining Services Manager Neal Shartar, who has his own brick oven. Caleb Duggan '19 explains, "I learned to recognize the taste between woodfired and regular oven cooked pizza, and to appreciate the slight char on wood fired pizza."

the week proved challenging as obstacles continued to arise in the process. For example, "the oven needs to dry completely between each stage of building, so while we were eager to complete the process, we had to move slowly and be patient in order to make sure we didn't run into any problems down the road." Explains Churchill, “Hopefully, they took away an understanding that careful planning and a certain amount of improvisation is necessary to create a functional structure. We all learned the importance of being patient and taking time to "measure twice and build once.'" Practicing patience and attention to detail, this group saw their vision of building a brick oven to completion. With careful consideration, they smartly designed the brick oven to sit on a trailer, so that it could be moved around campus to various locations in order to support campus events. For Noah Bolduc, the lessons he learned will last forever, "I learned how to work together with a big group and accomplish the common goal of bringing our community together." As one of two student leaders of the project, Bolduc also shares, "it was especially memorable to build this idea from the ground up with Tyler and Mr. Churchill and Mr. Sampson." The pizza oven debuted over spring break, once the oven had time to cure. Several students joined Joe Sampson to make pizzas outside his home on campus. The oven has since been used at several gatherings around campus, as it should, working to bring the community together over delicious gourmet food.

Part of project week exploration is being flexible and adapting plans and this project was no different. Building a brick oven takes time and

KIDS The partnership that New Hampton School has formed with Kurn Hattin Homes for Children in Westminster, Vermont, captures our school's commitment to service and building longstanding community partnerships and continues to grow. Now in its fifth year, a group of students journeyed two hours, across state lines, to spend a week getting to know the children at Kurn Hattin and helping the organization and its people in a variety of ways. Paige Dumont '19 reflected on the awareness she gained about how children, just a short distance from where she grew up in Plymouth, New Hampshire, could have a completely different life. "Going to Kurn Hattin helped me become more aware of other communities, in close proximity to ours, and how not everyone receives the same support and opportunities that me and my peers at New Hampton have." Faced with many challenges in life, the children at Kurn Hattin are thrilled to spend time with New Hampton School students and together, they have a lot of fun. This year's students worked side-by-side on a theatre production, which brought many laughs and joy to children young and old. New Hampton School participants also played games outside, read books, and engaged in positive conversations with Kurn Hattin children, guided by Director of School Counseling Erika Lea and the Kurn Hattin staff. The direction and facilitation of a powerful experience was supported by Lea, who comes to New Hampton School with a strong background in school counseling and working with youth. "I have done this Kurn Hattin trip for two years," she explains, "and each group has impressed me with their willingness to step outside their comfort zone and challenge themselves. We all live in a house together, and at the end

of each day we circle up and reflect. Students often get very deep and honest in their reflections and many times there are tears." Ms. Lea continues, "I feel like I have seen students gain real empathy at Kurn Hattin. While at first they may judge the behaviors of the children and/or their families, they come to understand the complicated lives that people lead." The level of service, partnership and perspective that this Project Week trip offers is powerful for New Hampton School students and our community, in part because it's not that far away. While New Hampton Project Week trips have often participated in service to underprivileged or impoverished communities in other countries, to have this experience within driving distance of our campus is truly moving for many participants. Following last year's trip to Kurn Hattin, two telling events occurred. Upon returning to campus, participants, of their own accord, sought ways to extend their service and new-found friendships with the Kurn Hattin children, and invited them to come to New Hampton School for our annual Arts Day celebration in April. Later in the year, one participant, Peter Blust '17, received a scholarship award for college. Rather than use the designated funds for college supplies, he asked that it be donated to Kurn Hattin, as he didn't need the dollars but wanted to give them to this community instead. As our school seeks ways to cultivate global citizens with an ability to empathize and appreciate world views other than their own, the Project Week trip to Kurn Hattin Homes for Children is a good reminder that we can offer transformative experiences in our own backyard.

What does it take to live aboard a boat and sail through the Caribbean ocean?

KNOT YOUR AV E R AG E What does it take to live aboard a boat and sail through the Caribbean Ocean? Students participating in Knot Your Average Sailing Trip spent seven days aboard two 54-foot catamarans exploring this exact question in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Knot Your Average Sailing Trip was the perfect example of students and faculty partnering to pursue an intriguing essential question. The original idea for the trip stemmed from History Department Chair Meredith Brown whose college roommate was the ship captain. Brown thought the trip would be a compelling adventure, one she had always been interested in, though with little experience in the subject area. However, when Chris Fridlington '19 and Seth Wilkinson '19 learned of the trip and signed up, they quickly became very helpful student leaders. Both Wilkinson and Fridlington are day students at New Hampton, and Wilkinson, in particular, spends a portion of his summers learning and teaching sailing in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire. Even before landing in the U.S. Virgin Islands, the two were eager to share their knowledge and spent one of the Project Week planning meetings teaching their peers (and their faculty leaders) how to tie knots for the boat. The responsibilities of a student leader start with conceiving an idea for a project and culminate in seeing the week run smoothly. "Planning a Project Week trip was very rewarding. Understanding the planning

process was a valuable lesson because it required us to consider all of the different aspects involved with running a successful project and ensuring that each task was taken care of," says Fridlington. With some prior sailing experience, Fridlington and fellow student leader Wilkinson assigned roles and responsibilities for the trip, making sure that each student played a part. "Once we were on the trip, we had to make a schedule of who was responsible for each task on the boat: one person cooked, one cleaned, one captained, and another two tensioned the lines to adjust the jib and mainsail," explains Fridlington. "We wanted to make sure that everyone had an equal chance to learn something and have fun at the same time.” In addition to acquiring the skills and sea knowledge necessary to sail, these students lived together in very close quarters aboard their boats, requiring a new level of communication, respect, and responsibility for all individuals. Director of Visual and Performing Arts Amy Wilson, who had the opportunity to sail with these students in the US Virgin Islands, recalls “It was really amazing to watch students boldly take action in a new setting. I was impressed with how the students on each boat worked as a collaborative team to accomplish all of the necessary tasks involved in sailing, maintaining the boat, and living on board. Every student played a role in our overall success. I love project week as it is an opportunity to engage in learning new content and skills — in context. It’s the experiences we remember most!”

ayla Barnes is on her way to see the Zach Brown Band at a Boston area venue with a handful of New Hampton School alumni, some with one year of college under their belt and others just weeks after their high school graduation. Wearing a summer dress and flip flops, she comfortably sits down ready to talk through her story and recent accolades — something she’s had much practice in during the past few months — yet, she is also eager to meet-up with her friends and enjoy the weekend. A stranger might take note of the lanyard holding her keys, decorated with Olympic rings — the only item she carries to the café patio for her interview — and wonder if she is an athlete, a volunteer, or a friend of an Olympian. However, upon further observation, an image of the Olympic rings subtly tattooed underneath her right forearm begins to tell a different story.

At the age of 18, Barnes was the youngest of the candidates vying for a spot on the US Women’s National Hockey team. Months after graduating from New Hampton School, and weeks after matriculating at Boston College, Barnes received a late call-down from the manager of the US Women’s National Team, inviting her to train with them in Florida. Shortly thereafter, she was named to the official roster and invited to compete in the 2018 Olympics in PyeongChang, Republic of Korea. In the weeks to follow, the team prepared for what became a historic Olympics for the US Women’s National Team. Ending in a dramatic sudden-death shootout, the 2018 Winter Olympics saw their first gold medal victory since 1998 by defeating ultimate rival Team Canada. Barnes’ journey to gold began as she was gaining stability on two feet, which is about the same time she learned to skate. Barnes grew up the youngest of five siblings, and the only girl, in Corona, California. With four older brothers, she attributes her young interest in hockey to them. While the early memories are few, one memory that characterizes the same tenacity noted by her coaches today is of first

Playing on a winning elite youth AAA team all across North America saw Barnes traveling almost every weekend. California didn’t have the local competition for this young group of athletes, so they journeyed to places like Detroit, Chicago, Canada and New York in search of competition and tournaments and showcases that would help rank their talent and advance them to higher-level national tournaments. To give a sense of the success of her team, Barnes notes that today five of the boys she played with are playing in the NHL and she is an Olympic Gold Medalist. It was about this time that she also began to pay more attention to women’s hockey, college opportunities, the national team, and consider her future. While heads were turning her way at the early age of twelve on the ice, off the ice Barnes shared that another important element of her youth was balancing school life. “I missed a lot of school, and my school was not happy about it.” The same maturity that characterizes Barnes as a 19-yearold Olympian, was already evident in her middle-school years. Barnes recognized that if she was already struggling to balance her emerging hockey career with ageFALL 2018 • HAMPTONIA 55

Barnes stopped talking to other schools and coaches as she had made her choice, provided the school also chose her. New Hampton School, under the guidance of a relatively new Coach Churchill, offered the opportunity to help establish a powerful hockey program. As Churchill framed it for her, Barnes would be able to play a role in building the program. She would be a strong member of this young, growing team, and Barnes would have the opportunity to play — and play a lot. For four years, Barnes was a threesport athlete; in addition to her time on the ice, she contributed on the fields with soccer and lacrosse.

rare to find a star athlete with that kind of talent and coachability,” recalling how she never once, in four years of coaching, questioned a drill, exercise, or game plan. In the fall of her senior year, Barnes and her teammates, several of whom played together for all four years, said goodbye to Merrill Lindsay Arena — a classic, open-air rink that had been their home for their first three years — with great fondness. At the Jacobson Arena dedication in November 2017, Barnes spoke on behalf of her teammates. “This arena will see big overtime wins and some heartbreaking losses, but the heart of Husky Hockey will electrify this building, making it come to life. I am ecstatic to be playing my last season in such a beautiful facility that will help my teammates and I get better every time we step on the ice.” She was sure to acknowledge that the success of the team was only as good as all of the players together. The poise and thoughtfulness with which she handled this moment are a perfect example of Barnes’ personal growth during her time at New Hampton. “Over the past four years, people like Coach Craig Churchill and my teammates in this very room have pushed me to become better every day. They have showed me the true meaning of friendship and what is means to be a part of something bigger than myself.” While seeing the Huskies to a first-ever NEPSAC Championship is one of the highlights of her time at New Hampton School, Barnes rounded out her four-year career just as any high school student might. Recalling time spent with her classmates at Powder Keg, enjoying autumn in New England on Foliage Day, and “just hanging out” in the residence houses — these are some of her most memorable moments. As the New Hampton School Women’s Varsity Hockey Program advanced during Barnes’ four years at New Hampton, so, too, did her personal career. Alongside her NEPSAC sports, academic schedule, and social calendar, Barnes continued to travel with the US National U18 Hockey Team. As a U18 athlete, Barnes was the first player in history to lead the team to three consecutive gold medals. In 2016 and 2017, she was recognized with the Directorate Award given to the top defenseman following the world championships. Balancing her education with Olympic

prospects, Barnes committed to play for Boston College as a sophomore at the age of 15. While she doesn’t acknowledge it with any semblance of regret, Barnes notes the recruiting challenges for young athletes. “I mean, I’m such a different person now than I was back then.” And that was two years after she received her first college offer; an offer that came when she was in only eighth grade. Though New Hampton School helped balance much of the demands of an elite athletic career with a high school experience, some things just can’t be avoided. Barnes missed out on her senior prom to try out for her first Olympics in the spring of 2017. It was seven years after she’d first set her eyes, and her heart, on the goal. Barnes remembers sitting in her living room watching the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, British Columbia with her mother. At some point during a game she turned to her mom and said, “I want to do that.” Over the years, her goals changed but, even before high school, Barnes began mapping them out for her mother; if she was eligible for the U18 team at fifteen, she could play with them for three years, then compete at the 2018 Olympic games. Barnes’ once distant dream came closer

and closer as she received continuous recognition on the national and local level. However, once Barnes and her family understood more about the Women’s National program and Barnes’ academic and athletic goals, she shifted her focus toward the 2022 Olympic games, which would fall after her college graduation. Yet, when her accomplishments in high school, and as a U18 athlete, earned her an invitation to the tryouts in April 2017, Barnes was not about to say no. Working hard to keep her excitement in check and be present and grateful for the opportunity, Barnes traveled to Wesley Chapel, Florida for tryouts. Upon returning to New Hampton School, and jumping quickly back into end-of-year celebrations with her classmates, Barnes received the news that she did not make the US Women’s National Team. Relatively nonchalant about this disappointing news, Barnes shook it off, reminding herself that it was never an expectation, but welcomed added exposure; she was grateful for four days on the ice with some of the nation’s best athletes. Barnes refocused on her senior spring, graduation, and her upcoming transition to Boston College. Processing the feedback that she had what it takes, but that the team managers

wanted to allow a more senior player the opportunity to pursue their Olympic dreams, Barnes set her sights on growing as an athlete in college. “Keep training,” they said. With new goals in place, eager to finally experience college life, Barnes arrived at Boston College in the fall of 2017. Flexible isn’t always a term used to characterize a star athlete, yet for Barnes, adaptability has been essential. Shortly after moving into her dorm on the Boston College campus, playing a few games with her new team, and beginning to build a network of friends, Barnes received a call from the manager of the US Women’s National Team. This time they invited her to train full-time with the team in Florida and, once again, compete for a spot on the Olympic roster. While there was no way to guarantee her spot prior to officially announcing the roster in January 2018, Barnes felt comfortable knowing she’d been cut from the team once and was being invited back down to prepare for the upcoming games. This was an opportunity she couldn’t pass up. The first person Barnes called? Her mom. “She thought I was joking,” Barnes laughs. “I called my mom and said, ‘I’m going to Florida to join the Olympic team.’ She said, ‘No you’re not. Stop messing with me.’” It took a few more minutes before Barnes had both of her parents jumping for joy at the

reality of her news. Before formally being named to the Olympic roster, Barnes had to earn her spot. The challenge was two-fold: Barnes had to quickly adapt to playing at the highest caliber she was yet to experience, and she needed to learn how to pay bills and do her own grocery shopping and laundry. While a national team with primarily twenty and thirty-year-old athletes might seem youthful, Barnes was the youngest by over a year. She made a rapid transition into adulthood.

of intensity was not new to Barnes. She understood the importance of nutrition and mental skills to enhance her play on the ice. But it was both the pace and intensity of play, and as Barnes puts it, “being a 25-yearold adult in a 19-year-old body,” that forced her to grow up quickly, and sharpened her game. Luckily for Barnes, two of the younger women on the team took her under their wing and helped her navigate team dynamics and life skills. She aced the challenge and in January of 2018, Barnes was officially named to the roster. “Dreams do come true,” Barnes posted on her Twitter and Instagram account with a photo of the Olympic roster. While she might have known since that call in October that she was going to make the team, Barnes didn’t share her glory until the news was official. In the midst of all that excitement, Barnes was experiencing a level of intensity and “upping her game” in a way she had yet to encounter. The athletes that had qualified back in April had six months to prepare for the Olympic games. Barnes, who wasn’t invited to train with the team until October, had only three months to prepare for PyeongChang. New Hampton School might have provided the foundation for Barnes to

“SHE’S ALWAYS BEEN OF THAT MINDSET, THAT ‘HOCKEY DOESN’T DEFINE ME… IT’S WHAT I DO, NOT WHO I AM. ’ ” “Those girls are so intense!” Barnes laughs as she explains the difference between collegiate athletes and the US Women’s National team. For Barnes, they brought the term “live and breathe hockey” to a whole new level. While she’d always maintained a strong focus on the game, she now realized that she had been invited to work with an elite group of women that were focused on winning. Their lives, down to the last detail, are dedicated to becoming the best hockey players in the world. On one hand, the level

S TAY T H E COURSE A Life of Academia and Politics BY LUKE TOBIN

Jeff Tulis can’t get enough of school. Immersed in academia for almost his entire adult life, he recently returned to New Hampton’s campus for Reunion Weekend as a member of the Class of 1968. Serving on the Reunion Committee this year, Tulis and several members of his class helped to secure a record turnout. Personal letters, phone calls, piling on guilt, not to mention the promise of a good time, led 45 classmates back to campus for their landmark 50th Reunion. Another class member, Phil Sawyer ’68, reflects on their successful approach stating that, “The difference is that we started the outreach early, broke with tradition, and enacted a plan that reached the hearts and minds of our classmates — by exploiting the need for social connection, rather than institutional connection. All the difference in the world lies in that distinction.” Amidst stomping around campus with old friends and classmates throughout New Hampton’s Reunion Weekend, perhaps retracing his past crosscountry routes, Tulis was honored with the school’s prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award in recognition of his achievement in his personal and professional work. This award, presented once annually as part of the Reunion Weekend celebration, is gratefully added on to Tulis’s already lengthy list of accolades, published books, articles, and teaching experiences.

Originally from the New Jersey shore, Tulis’s hometown high school was under construction while he was in middle school. With concern that the new school wouldn’t be accredited in time, his parents began the task of researching private schools. He remembers touring several schools, including the George School, a Quaker boarding school in nearby Pennsylvania, but he eventually chose the school farthest away from home — New Hampton. He recalls the feeling of community on campus with everyone being friendly and welcoming. After a long conversation and interview with the admissions office about his interests and ambitions, Tulis received a crafted letter outlining a plan that depicted how New Hampton would fit his high school experience. And soon, his choice was made. New Hampton became his second home in the fall of 1964. He resided in Berry, Draper,

a wonderful and supportive group of guys. That is my best memory of New Hampton. My roommate then, and the previous year, was Dave Marks. We have been lifelong friends.” The Russell boys would often take field trips, ski the rope tow on mailbox hill, and venture up to Canada with their house parent. A four-year student at New Hampton, Tulis was a member of the debate team, a tour guide with the White Key Club, literary editor of Jabberwocky, exchange editor with the Manitou, and a cross-country teammate. He describes himself as, “a lousy runner — at my best; my senior year, I was sixth or seventh on the team. I was a good debater, however.” Tulis recalls the debate team as a “powerhouse” during his years at New Hampton. He spent weeks during summers with college debate coaches preparing for and researching policy debate, and went on to win state championships, compete on

the national level, and, by his senior year, he was the team captain. Through debate, he benefitted in developing valuable research techniques and analytical skills, while also forming a strong sense of self-confidence. Surrounded by a number of classmates who

were tough, strong athletes, “My outlet to kick people around was debate.” His classmate Phil Sawyer, offers another perspective on Tulis’ high school activities with great admiration. Sawyer distinctly remembers Tulis’s participation in cross-country and debate that he believes truly shaped his friend’s character. Both activities, Sawyer notes, require “a level of discipline that is the province of only a select few.” New Hampton was an all-boys school during Tulis’s time and he remembers his senior year as being uncharacteristically engaging intellectually. When he and his classmates expressed an interest in learning Philosophy, their English teacher, Tom Diehl, created a Philosophy course. This was an extra course for the students, above and beyond their academic commitments, that Diehl designed strictly out of academic curiosity and interest. Tulis credits Diehl as someone who taught him how to read text carefully and to write analytically; these skills had a far-reaching importance to Tulis as they are imperative in his professional life. Another influential teacher, Peter Sterling, who taught AP History, helped create an interdisciplinary course that crossed the social sciences and ended up serving as a track for Tulis’s career. With this strong connection to his teacher, it is fitting that, years later, Tulis visited Sterling to present him a book that Tulis authored. He recalls the books among the shelves of Sterling’s office, many of which were significant and tied to his high school experience. This combination of debate, Tom Diehl, and Peter Sterling are the paramount factors credited in the early development of Tulis’s intellectual curiosity and, ultimately, teaching ability.

Tulis reflects deeply on his class, their reunion, and their place in history — both in terms of the school, and their connection to their world at the time. Connecting threads of their qualities as students, seeing their leadership skills in preparation for their 50th seems clear now. Tulis describes the Class of 1968 as a class full of leaders, attending New Hampton during an unusual time. He recalls the Great Northeast Blackout as a metaphor for the trauma of the era. Set to the backdrop of the Vietnam War, political assassinations, and power grid failures, Tulis and his classmates were teenagers away from home as the entire social fabric of society seemed to be fraying. “The world was coming apart, to some degree, and this bound us together in a way that we did not appreciate as it was happening, but really does come out when we have these reunions.” After graduating from New Hampton School, Tulis went on this receive his B.A. (magna) degree in Government from Bates College in 1972, then onwards to Brown University, completing his M.A. in Policitical Science in 1974. “Except for a summer as a newspaper reporter covering the national presidential nominating conventions in Miami in 1972, I have been an academic — in school — all the time since New Hampton.” He went on to achieve his PhD in Political Science from the University of Chicago in 1982, the school where he also met his wife, Jean Ehrenburg. As graduate students, they both worked as residential heads in undergraduate dormitories and met through this shared experience. Jean now works as a clinical psychologist in a private practice in Austin, Texas.

A true lifelong learner, Tulis has dedicated his life to academia. Focusing on political theory and American politics, he has held faculty positions at Notre Dame, Princeton, and an impressive 30-year career at the University of Texas at Austin. “I have been an academic almost my entire adult life. I study political science, working on topics that combine political theory and American politics. When I went to graduate school for my PhD, my intention was to work at a small liberal arts college. But, in the job market, the schools most interested in me were large research universities, so that is where I ended up. After a research position at the University of Virginia, I took tenure track and tenured jobs at Notre Dame for a year, at Princeton for eight years, and the University of Texas at Austin for the last three decades. I also have been a visiting professor at Harvard and at London School of Economics & Political Science.” Tulis’s insightful knowledge on political theory and American politics through his books, lectures, and essays, has reached thousands of students, colleagues, and those politically engaged. “Over my career, I have taught approximately threethousand undergraduates, and hundreds of graduate students, including twenty whose dissertations I supervised. I’ve won some awards for teaching. I published a number of books and lots of articles. Some classmates might find two of the books interesting. One is titled The Rhetorical Presidency, and the other is called Legacies of Losing in American Politics. You can find them on Amazon, and I would be very interested in the reactions and thoughts of New Hampton

friends.” Tulis’s impressive list of selected honors, fellowships, awards, publications, edited books, articles and chapters, essays, podcasts, editorials, invited lectures, papers, offices, courses taught, university services, and other professional activities spans twenty pages long. His students and colleagues appreciate all of the reading, writing, and teaching Tulis has completed over his career. He is consistently praised for his progress and achievements in his field through various awards such as the Legacy Award from the American Political Science Association in the fall of 2018, and the Outstanding Faculty Award, selected by graduate students in the Department of Government, at the University of Texas at Austin in 2015. Tulis is currently working on Democratic Decay and the Politics of Defense, expected in the fall of 2020. Other publications include The Presidency in the Constitutional Order, The Constitutional Presidency, The Limits of Constitutional Democracy, recent journal articles and chapters on constitutional interpretation, the logic of political change, and the meaning of political success. Four collections of essays on The Rhetorical Presidency with responses by Tulis have been published, including a special double issue of Critical Review: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Politics and Society, where his book is described by the editor as “one of the two or three most important and perceptive works written by a political scientist in the twentieth century.” In Legacies of Losing in American Politics, Tulis rethinks pivotal moments in American political history. Focusing on defeated

Tulis and his New Hampton School classmates shared memories and laughter at their 50th Reunion Dinner in Jacobson Arena.

"My effort in undergraduate teaching is to get them to take things they know and are familiar with and get them to see how strange the things they thought they knew actually are, sort of render the familiar, unfamiliar.” presidential candidates, failed presidents, and social movements that did not disappear as expected, but instead persisted and gradually achieved success for the loser’s ideas and preferred policies. This book helps “provide a new understanding of American political development as the interweaving of opposing ideas,” (University of Chicago). The Rhetorical Presidency discusses how modern presidents often appeal over the heads of Congress to the people at large to generate support for public policies. “This development, born at the outset of the twentieth century is the product of conscious political choices that fundamentally transformed the presidency and the meaning of American governance,” (Princeton University Press). Perhaps the reason that Tulis’s students, colleagues, and classmates think so highly of him as a professor, friend, and classmate is because Tulis is not concerned with appearing interesting; rather, his concern is about being interested. New Hampton classmate Phil Sawyer had the following to say about Tulis’s social and intellectual success: “The people whom I want to spend the greatest amount of time with are those who those who are interested enough to spend time trying to learn more by asking questions. And that’s Jeff. When you spend time with him you see his mind at work through the many questions he asks. He is genuinely interested in people and their stories. I love that about him — and it’s so very rare.”

At the University of Texas at Austin, Tulis currently enjoys working with both undergraduate and graduate students. Recalling his favorite New Hampton School teachers as inspirational mentors, he often tries to emulate their teaching practices. “With the graduate students, I want to help them to get to where they want to go. I want them to write on what they want to write on. It’s not just about the course.” Tulis aims to get all of his graduate students published and ready for the job market, not through creating a long list of publications, but instead focusing on quality, impactful material. Tulis also teaches several freshmen courses and enjoys these students the most because they are, “Excited, energetic, and not jaded. My effort in undergraduate teaching is to get them to take things they know and are familiar with and get them to see how strange the things they thought they knew actually are, sort of render the familiar, unfamiliar.” Tulis helps these young students to gain perspective, reflect, and critically think about their learning. “For me, if they can see that they’ve learned, I feel that is a much better teacher evaluation than these literal teaching evaluations that the school requires them to fill out. I am much more interested in learning than being liked.” Another credit to Tulis’s teaching practice? Rowing. Tulis notes that while teaching others to row, he understands the importance of focusing on each individual and tailoring his teaching to each individual’s needs. “When I was 55, my wife and I both got into rowing, actually sculling — which is rowing with two oars, and includes rowing in

single shells. I had rowed briefly in college, but this was the first time I learned to scull. It has become an all-consuming interest and hobby for both of us.” Outside of academia, Tulis and his wife have two successful daughters, Elizabeth and Hanna, who they are beyond proud of. “Until recently, Elizabeth was a federal prosecutor working with the U.S. Attorney in New York, Preet Bharara. She is currently a Trial Attorney in the Civil Division at the Department of Justice in DC., where she defends the United States in complex litigation. All of her education was at Yale: college, grad school in English literature, and law school. Hanna is an architect in New York employed at Selldorf Architects, where she is currently working on the redesign and renovation of the Frick Museum. Before this job, she worked for OMA (Office for Metropolitan Architecture), the firm led by the Dutch architect, Rem Koolhaas. She went to Barnard College and Harvard Graduate School of Design.” Nowadays, when Tulis steps away from reading, writing, and the classroom, he enjoys rowing and spending time in Maine. Tulis and his wife, Jean, look forward to attending a one-week adult rowing camp in Vermont nearly every year. Throughout the remainder of the summer, they reside in a cottage in Maine with a small fleet of boats next to an idllyic lake. Each fall, when he returns to his campus home in Texas, he forges forward in his profession, but remembers the lessons of the teachers, classmates, and history that helped shape his world view and passions.

James Casadona ' 0 8

James "Jimmy" Casadona, Jr., Class of 2008, age 28, died as the result of a training accident with the 101st Combat Aviation Brigade. Jimmy was born on March 29, 1990 in Trenton, New Jersey. He enlisted on February 13, 2012 in the United States Marine Corps where he served for four years. During his last year in the Marine Corps, he successfully applied to become an Army Aviator. After receiving his discharge from the United States Marine Corps, he attended Warrant Officer Candidate School and Initial Entry Rotary Wing Training at Ft. Rucker, Alabama. Upon graduation, he was stationed at Ft. Campbell, Kentucky where he served as a Pilot in the 1-101st Aviation Regiment. Jimmy's awards and decorations include the Army Commendation Medal, Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal, Marine Good Conduct Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, US Army Service Ribbon, Navy and Marine Corps Sea Service Deployment Ribbon, Basic Parachutist Badge, US Army Aviator Badge and the Army Commendation Medal. Each year at Reunion, New Hampton School presents a Young Alumni Leadership Award to recognize an alumnus who, since graduating, has shown the same loyalty, dedication and service to New Hampton School and their community as they did as a student. Given Jimmy's service and sacrifice it is fitting that he was this year’s recipient. Jimmy was a four-year senior, part of the men’s soccer team and an active member of the community. He was known for his genuine personality, his willingness to lend a hand and his desire to be a friend to everyone. His classmates describe him as “the life of the party- in the sense that he always wanted to be around people and have a good time.” While at New Hampton he was passionate about his friends, family, NHS and God and went on to serve them in the most respectable way. Jimmy shared his New Hampton experience with two sisters Lauren Dean '04 and Kristen Casadona'05. At New Hampton School we are constantly teaching our students to be active global citizens and Jimmy demonstrated that perfectly.

REMEMBERING

Rob '42 & Dan Smith '42 Born ten days apart in 1926, first cousins Rob Smith and Dan Smith shared parallel lives and passed away two days apart this past March. Education was knit into their bones. Rob, the son of NHS Headmaster Frederick Smith, Class of 1910 and his wife, Grace Vohr Smith, taught at New Hampton School and Nichols College, and spent 30 years in the history department at Bentley College. Dan was the son of teachers: Maurice, Fred Smith’s brother, who taught for many years at New Hampton School, and Elsie, who taught in a one-room schoolhouse. Dan was a professor of education at the University of New Hampshire for 32 years. Rob and Dan grew up in the idyllic setting of New Hampton in the early 1930s and 40s surrounded by a close-knit extended family, among them Rob’s sister, Norma Jean Smith Moore (Jinga), wife of Headmaster T. Holmes Moore '38. They skied on the back hills, played tennis at the school’s clay courts, and learned to ski jump as students at New Hampton School. At age 16, Rob and Dan headed off to Dartmouth College together, and when WWII struck, both enlisted. After Dartmouth, they continued their studies, Rob at Columbia and Dan at the University of Michigan and Harvard University. In 1953, Dan married Emily Ketterson, raised three children, and maintained their New Hampton ties with gatherings at the family homestead, Linn Acre, and at their cottage on Newfound Lake. Rob married Joan Weeks Trimble, an accomplished portrait artist, in 1949. With their three children, all red heads like their parents and grandmother, they travelled many weekends to the family farm, The Cidars, in Alexandria, NH. Gifted musicians, Rob and Dan sang in the NHS and Dartmouth glee clubs and continued as adults in local choral groups. Known for his booming tenor voice, Rob was a regular in Gilbert and Sullivan operas and a favorite at family gatherings with his rendition of Bless this House. Accomplished athletes, musicians, and educators, Rob and Dan embodied the core values of New Hampton School that were established under Frederick Smith’s leadership in the 1930s and continue almost 100 years later. Engaged, passionate, respectful, and responsible, they were the precursors to today’s student-athlete. They took what they learned at New Hampton, and beyond, to make a lasting imprint on their families, thousands of students, and all they encountered. They are the heritage of New Hampton School.

William H. Perry III '49 We sadly learned of the passing of alumnus William H. “Skip” Perry III, Class of 1949. His son, Steven Perry ’74 and New Hampton School Trustee shared these words in his memory. "Skip loved his time at New Hampton. He credited Ed Madan (Biology) and Bud Moore (English) as his most influential teachers. However, his fondest memory was playing two years of dominating Varsity Hockey with 'Willy' and Peter Gall." Pictured Right: Steve with his parents Jean and Skip at his New Hampton School Graduation. FALL 2018 • HAMPTONIA 77

The 2017 season was a memorable one for the Men’s Varsity Soccer program, closing the season with an 11-2 record, one of their best in recent years. Pictured here, the Huskies traveled south to battle perennial rival Tilton School in the annual Powder Keg game. With pride and focus, the Huskies defeated Tilton School, on a crisp beautiful day on their lower fields, cheered on by their classmates, faculty, family and alumni who returned to share their Husky spirit.

The Class of 2018 thoughtfully considered several class gift options before selecting a patio under the birch trees beside the upper pond. This is a signature spot on campus, lending itself to gatherings, studying, and a quiet place for reflection. With the expertise and guidance of alumnus and landscape architect Eric Buck ’01, the gift committee achieved their vision and solidified a tangible legacy on campus. We thank the Class of 2018 for their generosity and the many ways in which they have shaped New Hampton School.

Reunion G IVIN G AWA RD S Congratulations to the Classes of 1963 and 1968 for achieving recognition at Reunion 2018 for giving back to New Hampton School. First, we were honored to recognize the Class of 1963 with the Exceptional Class Participation Award; with 24% of their class making a gift this year, they achieved the highest percentage of classmates supporting the school through a donation. Second, the Class of 1968 was presented with the Outstanding Class Gift Award. This class has made outstanding contributions, not only this year, but over their lifetime. Historically, this class has donated an astounding $3.1 million to New Hampton School. They came together again this year to celebrate by creating the Thomas Diehl Endowment Fund raising nearly $240,000 to date (more on page 89). Thank you all for your continuing, impactful generosity. Each of these Reunion Giving Awards debuted at Reunion 2018. They were established to celebrate the generosity of the alumni body who embrace the importance of providing philanthropic support to today's students, faculty, staff and services.

Thomas Diehl EN D OWM EN T F U ND “When you’re surrounded by people who share a passionate commitment around a common purpose, anything is possible.” - Howard Schultz The Class of 1968 has established the Thomas Diehl Endowment Fund to honor legendary faculty member Tom Diehl, who was beloved by his students and committed to their success (see article on page 40). His impact as a teacher was so significant for students, that the Class thoughtfully and generously established this fund in his name. The creators of the fund emphasize that contributions to the fund are not limited to members of the Class of 1968, and they enthusiastically encourage contributions from all members of the New Hampton community who subscribe to its goals. To date, $239,100 has been raised and the goal of the Class is to encourage continuous growth for decades to come.

ADVANCEMENT | BOARD OF TRUSTEES

Trustees IN THE CLASSROOM A favorite activity of our dedicated Trustees is during their winter board meeting when they step out of meetings for a bit to attend classes with our students and join them for lunch. Students enjoy showcasing their work and our Trustees, many of whom are alumni, are reminded of their own experiences and inspired by the ways in which the school has evolved over the years.

It’s such a pleasure to spend time in class with current New Hampton School students and connect our work as trustees with the student perspective. This opportunity is a great reminder of our school’s mission and also how the school has evolved — and stayed to same — since our own experience as students long ago." — FREDERICK PEYSER III '68, BOARD OF TRUSTEES

DISCOVER THE BENEFITS of Giving Wisely

ROBERT HOLMES PATTEE TEACHING CHAIR IN PHYSICS Through creative gift planning, Jeffrey Pattee '64 established a fund, named in honor of his father, that will benefit the school in perpetuity. His generous and thoughtful planning enabled a gift that would have an immediate impact on the school and current students, while at the same time, Pattee has joined the 1821 Society by establishing an endowed fund that will grow over time.

"I am privileged and honored to endow the Robert Holmes Pattee Teaching Chair in Physics at the New Hampton School, from which I graduated in 1964. The endowment honors my late father, for whom integrity and decency were guiding principles throughout his life, and to whom dedication to family and community service were paramount. He encouraged me to grow intellectually, to excel academically, and to expand my world view through travel, reading and, always, a mindset of wonder and inquiry." That his exhortation to continually broaden my intellectual horizons prompted my leap from the practice of law as an attorney to the laws of physics as a novice scholar, would no doubt have surprised him! But I believe he would have understood both my fascination with what the physicist Brian Greene termed the "elegant universe," as well as my desire to learn and understand as much as possible about our expanding cosmos through this dazzling science. From Einstein to Sagan, from the theory of general relativity to the growing acceptance of string theory and multiple dimensions, I have found every source of information both a delight and an exhaustive and exhilarating challenge to comprehend! Somewhere in the New Hampton School's community of scholars, among its many young students from multiple continents and with varying academic interests, there will, I hope, be some with a special interest in physics. If The Robert Holmes Pattee Teaching Chair in Physics at New Hampton inspires and launches the career of a future physicist, or if it simply fulfills an academic requirement in an engaging and stimulating way, then its purpose will be fulfilled!"

Many financial advisors are notifying their clients of potential double, or even triple, taxation that IRAs and other qualified retirement plans left to heirs may be subject to? Between federal income taxes, state income taxes, and possible state inheritance taxes, retirement plans can prove to be problematic for your children or non-spousal heirs. For that reason, many people are choosing philanthropy as their hard-earned assetsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; beneficiary.
