A THOUSAND WORDS
MESERVEY HALL: AT A GLANCE The refurbishment of Academic Row continues apace as the newly restored Meservey Hall opens its doors. Completed in time for the beginning of the 2014-15 school year, the project preserved the building’s facade while opening the interior to an entirely new space. Home to the History Department, the Academic Support Program (housed in the Segal Family Learning Center) and the Writing Lab, Meservey’s airy atrium and bright classrooms offer collaborative spaces, rooms for individual instruction and views of Main Street and the playing fields.
BEFORE I ARRIVED AT NEW HAMPTON SCHOOL AS A JUNIOR, I was shy and accustomed to seeking a seat in the back of my public school classrooms–hoping not to be called upon by the teacher. At New Hampton, with only 6-10 students in the classroom, there was no place to run, no place to hide.
I found it better to work hard than to be embarrassed in front of my peers. In working harder, I learned more about my personal capacity and slowly, very slowly my self-confidence grew and I gradually spread my wings.
For much of my career I have had the honor of working with small-scale coffee farming families around the world. Before coming to New Hampton, I never dreamed that I would have the opportunity or the self-confidence to do this work, to travel alone months of the year to distant lands, or to have the opportunity to return to New Hampton to serve on the school’s Board of Trustees.
I owe so much to New Hampton School, where my personal development really began. I am recharged every time I visit the school’s stunning campus, by its highly engaged faculty, staff, and students. I am so grateful that my dad gave me the opportunity to attend New Hampton School,
AND I AM HONORED TO GIVE BACK TO THE SCHOOL BOTH AS A MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND AS AN ALUMNI DONOR.” —RICK PEYSER ’68, BOARD OF TRUSTEES MEMBER Lutheran World Relief - Sr. Relationship Manager, Coffee & Cocoa

welcome During new faculty orientation three years ago, a group of teachers and administrators stood in a circle in the upper gym finishing a game. The exercise was intended to make us laugh, to teach us each other’s names, and hopefully to impart a lasting lesson. As we finished, the moderator stepped into the circle. “In the weeks before Thanksgiving, remember to say, ‘Thank You.’” It seemed a pleasant if slightly saccharine sentiment. And then the students arrived. As practices and classes accelerated, and community dinners and advisee meetings competed with grades and comments, unmarked essays piled up in my messenger bag. September and October at New Hampton School, I learned, are equal parts sublime fall days spent discussing The Taming of the Shrew in Adirondack chairs and elbow-tossing roller derby. Separated from the relief of Parents’ Weekend by a chasm of ten days, I realized the deep wisdom of that simple admonition: remember to say thank you. The challenges of working at a boarding school are surmountable provided you love working with teenagers. The degree of difficulty in boarding school life, indeed in all of labor, is surmounting challenges gracefully. To foster that grace, New Hampton School is explicit in the expectation of gratitude. Students are taught, and faculty are encouraged to model, open thankfulness. That spirit is reinforced in the announcements at School Meeting, deepened by the tradition of writing thank you cards to donors during lunch, and spreads to the community’s electronic message board. In compiling this, my first issue of the Hamptonia, I shouldn’t then have been surprised at the outflow of gratitude from the alumni and former faculty I spoke with. Every interview contained appreciation for the academic experience, but also
for the thoughtful presence of individual teachers and coaches. Two recent grads were so thankful for Ms. Grosart that I had to edit out one mention to avoid monotone. The feature articles that follow would not be possible without the giving spirit that so many alumni exude. English Department Chair Eric McCollom writes about Annalisa Drew ’11 (page 40) and her rise to the Olympics and the X-Games. Turney Duff ’89 remembers English teachers and football coaches (page 48) as he displays his unabashed honesty about a career on Wall Street in which he succumbed to the excesses of the lifestyle after the closing bell. As we prepare to break ground on Jacobson Ice Arena in March of 2016, Gary Eggleston ’51, Ray Shero ’80, and Mandy Cronin ’98 share their stories with former faculty member and coach Mike Levine ’00 and current coach Casey Kesselring P’18 (page 55) to detail the history of NHS hockey, the current landscape of the game, and the future of the sport here on campus. And finally Michael Conforti ’64 credits Bud Moore ’38 as he relates his experience as Director of the Clark Art Institute (page 60) and celebrates the awarding of the Apollo 2014 Opening of the Year. Thank you to all the alumni who gave their time and voice to this issue.

FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL
HEADS UP
Reiva Kieth ’11 (left) with Briana Cardwell ’13 (right).
head’s up No regrets January 10, 2009 was the first day I met Briana Cardwell in Berry Hall. Briana, Bri as we learned she preferred, was a fourteen-year-old from Dorchester, Massachusetts. An eighth grader at Beacon Academy, a magnet leadership school for underserved students of color, Bri was interviewing for a space in the class of 2013. While I certainly remember how shy Bri was, I also distinctly remember her steely determination, independence, and mostly her courage to find a school community that would both embrace who she was, and who she wanted to become. Bri had things she wanted to do and to do them, she had to learn! We accepted Bri with equal parts excitement and anxiety—how would she transition to the intellectual rigor, to the social dynamics of an almost other worldly place that would ask more of her than she had ever given before. On a hazy August morning, Bri arrived. She stepped out of the Pilalas registration line with an enthusiastic, “Hi Mr. Menke, remember me? Thank you for taking me…you won’t regret it.” Regrets? She devoured the place! In four remarkable years, Bri, a full International Baccalaureate diploma student, earned a 3.7GPA. She competed in field hockey, basketball and softball. She joined the cast of two plays, served as a star tour guide in the
admission office and a phonathon caller in the development office, was elected to student council and selected as a graduation speaker by her classmates. Regrets? I’d love to clone Briana Cardwell! In her graduation speech, Bri proclaimed, “in Husky Nation, green is an attitude not a color!” She went on to say, “New Hampton is a place where people from many different backgrounds come together to build relationships that will last forever. We all motivate each other and push each other to work hard so that we are successful and reach our potential.” And she passionately exhorted all students to “branch out, make friends, be great and embrace the whole entire experience because you matter…and it goes too fast!” New Hampton School changes lives! The unique intersection of our unpretentious culture truly embraces all members of the community. The confidence that results from solid fundamental skill acquisition and a climate predicated on full participatory ownership, shapes humble, poised and self-reliant graduates ready to fully invest their hearts and minds in their communities. Last month in a Facebook post, Bri, now a sophomore at Bowdoin, wrote, “As I look at this photo on my desktop, I realize that I never had to think about being black at my high school. I had friends who were white and black and
my race never really mattered. People genuinely cared about me the person…The connections I had with my teachers and the kind words my headmaster shared about me at my graduation weren’t because he took pity on me…he saw me as the smart hardworking student that I am. Shout out to #NHS for always making me feel welcome and a part of the community…” Hastened by the acceleration of my final sixteen months in Husky Nation, I find myself reflecting on the last ten years of unfathomable professional growth, the amazing educational experience of my two children and thousands of lives this amazing place has transformed. As we enjoy unprecedented health and ponder a bright future, I am reminded and inspired by Bri’s promise—no regrets. Our plans will remain bold yet our commitment to a relational, inclusive and student centered experience will be unwavering. New Hampton School moves boldly forward —with no regrets!

PROJECT WEEK: 2014 Project Week once again served as the platform for a dizzying array of experiential learning. Students traveled as far afield as Hawaii to work on cattle ranches and the Dominican Republic to assist at charter schools, and as close as Ms. Sedestrom’s kitchen to study the science of cooking. Werner Vivier ‘14 (shown here in a red hoody) directed a short film cast entirely with students. Shot and edited over the course of five days, the film tells the story of two young women trying to escape from a neo-fascist regime. The film was selected to the Hotchkiss Student Film Festival.

Rong (Sally) Wang ’15 Online Shopper The idea of the piece came to me when I got a package of clothing that I ordered online. I believe the packing materials are often overlooked in our daily life, and I decided to do a piece expressing this idea. Besides, I am a big online shopper so this piece has a personal meaning as well. In the piece, I collaged the shipping labels and packing materials I collected on top of the garment that I originally sewed.

Qingdao This garment celebrates the culture of Qingdao, the city I am from. Qingdao has had a great influence on who I am today. This is a three dimensional dress made with out any patterns. All pieces of the garment are draped on the form. Inspired by a Maison Martin Margiela’s 2011 spring and summer collection and Barbie’s Landmark Collection, I took a most symbolic sculpture of my city and illustrated it in a garment.

TWO BOOKS TO PUT ON YOUR SHELF
TWO YOUTUBE SERIES WORTH YOUR TIME
Emil Cioran, The Trouble with Being Born The popularity of HBO program True Detective has drawn some attention to the work both of Cioran and Thomas Ligotti, whose pessimism is, in large part, the inspiration for Matthew McConaughey’s character, Detective Rust Cohle, on that show. Among the three of them, however, Cioran would be the only tolerable dinner guest.
Pistol Pete’s Homemade Basketball (Assorted Videos) I was compelled to watch excerpts from this series recently while searching for drills appropriate for JV basketball practice. In addition to featuring said drills, each installment of Homemade Basketball also begins with a synth-pop montage marked by all the aesthetic trappings of a Duran Duran video.
Dayn Perry, Drinking with Boileryard Clarke The literature of baseball generally takes one of three forms: the wildly polemical sort utilized by columnists in the local dailies, the deliberately paced and meditative sort utilized by the descendants of W.C. Heinz, and the analytical variety utilized by sabermetricians. Perry’s work is like none of these. It’s what would happen were singer-songwriter Prince and a 19th century statesman to co-write a book about our national pastime.
Red on Roundball (Assorted Videos) Long-time Celtics coach Red Auerbach finished his career in 1966 having won both more games and more championships than any coach before him. During the 1970s and -80s, CBS aired a series of instructional videos featuring Auerbach, Auerbach’s thick Brooklyn accent, and then-current professionals during the halftime of their NBA broadcasts. The result is Red on Roundball.

Bread filled with air called baursak (Kasakh fried dough), but that’s just for special occassions, weddings, etc. H: What do you do when you go home?

I have less responsibility at home, life is easier. When you’re on your own, you have to work harder. H: Where would you take a classmate in Kazakhstan? TN: I would take my friends to see the mountain views and the steppes. You can climb mountains and enjoy the nature and lagoons. I like winter because you can snowboard. That’s what I’d take them to see, otherwise it’s just the same as here, regular stuff like shops.

Contrary to my nature he was very ruthless. H: What are your plans post New Hampton? TN: Applying to schools in the states. I’d like to stay in the US after college for the working experience. I could stay here or go back and help develop industry. There’s a need for qualified professionals. I’d like to go to England, too. I was born there.

At first glance, Chelsea Woodard’s poems touch on adolescence, family, discovery and high art – eclectic as a group, but individually not unusual themes for an award winning poet. On second read, there’s an artful narrative to much of the second-year English instructor’s work, a masterful if subtle summation you wouldn’t expect from such light language centered in description. This nuanced story arcing, so comforting to those weaned on prose, compels the reader to finish each poem. The reward, the language itself of course, often extends to the information revealed in the final line. Woodard buys her reader’s attention with perfect, unfaltering pacing.

By now, the kids have left. By now, the summer folks have hauled their moorings out, their garish boats. The floor’s littered with baby toys, the towels your daughter sprawled into a heap her daughter giggled from, trying to be invisible. But yours isn’t a season fit for hiding. When the dock’s frost-crusted pilings jut, you tether them again, retying. The sky’s cold, furious blue still keeps you tired and restless, and you wake near dark each morning to the blitz of hungry finches on the lawn, the flower beds your mother raked, with pine needles each fall, while you worked ahead of her, scanning the lake for straggling geese or rocks, for suntanned boys stalled on the water, calling.

From farce to civil rights, Brown’s winter production of Letter from a Birmingham Jail brought historical perspective to the annual, national remembrance of Martin Luther King, Jr. The 2013-14 artistic year closed with the spring musical You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown.

INTERNATIONAL PROGRAM
International Night Returning students and faculty know a secret they’re reluctant to share: arrive early to dinner on International Night. The food, always a highlight, disappears quickly onto the plates of those in the know. After the student-prepared buffet, the school community retires to McEvoy Theater for performances running the spectrum from K-Pop to classical Chinese dance. The grace and command of the artists belies the hours of preparation that make the night a favorite on the School’s calendar.

EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING
Project Week
“It is hard to believe that we are rapidly approaching our third Project Week since its reintroduction in 2013. What was just a concept only a few short years ago has quickly morphed into an integral and much anticipated component of our strong and varied academic program. Both students and faculty alike appreciate the opportunity to devote significant time and energy to learning about something that is truly of interest to them. During Project Week, the entire community pauses from our daily routine of classes, co-curricular activities, and study hall to engage in experiential learning projects that would be challenging to pursue in the context of the regular school schedule.” –Justin Joslin, Director of Experiential Learning NHS GREENHOUSE On-Campus
CLASSROOM INNOVATION
Digital Media: Design for Communication “This generation moves a mile a minute. To reach an audience, a paragraph of text doesn’t cut it anymore.” Kia Mosenthal, teacher in the Arts Department, explains the need to develop communication skills beyond writing. Idea sharing and storytelling now need to shine through an image or a hyper-concise message. Mosenthal’s students work on developing technical competencies in logo and packaging design, magazine layout and image manipulation software. But they also wrestle with difficult questions on ethics that designers will face in an increasingly connected, global community.

Hard Work Pays Off for Blais is making a name for herself behind both the free-throw and three-point lines. As of February 1st, she leads NCAA Division I in free-throw percentage and is eighth in three-point percentage, and Marist sits in second place in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference, just a stone’s throw behind leaders Quinnipiac. She was a good shooter when she started college, but she’s turned herself into a great shooter by being meticulous about technique. Brian Giorgis, the head coach at Marist, details her shot, “She’s got one of the most mechanically sound strokes in the game. When she’s open, I assume it’s going down. She’s worked on her game, given herself more tools. Specifically, she’s going to the basket more now and either scoring or drawing a foul.” What’s her secret? “She just works hard.” Without stating as much explicitly, Blais confirms MADDIE BLAIS ‘12

this. When asked what she’s been doing this semester she rattles off a long list. On top of her game and practice schedules, she watches game film to correct any technical deficiencies, scouts the next opponent by watching their games, lifts weights, directs the team’s community service program as a captain, and is taking five classes. The obvious question is what does she do to relax. She hesitates as if she’s not considered the option. “I’ve been drawing. And reading. And singing.” Singing? “Yes.

Instant Impact AUBREY DAWKINS ‘14 is halfway through
his first season and he alreadys knows the secret to success in college: go to sleep early. Avoiding social distractions, his euphemism for late-night mischief that so many college freshmen succumb to, has helped him increase playing time on the court and kept his GPA up. He’s leading the Wolverines in 3-point shooting percentage with .410

RECOGNIZED
Sixteen students-athletes were honored with inclusion on fall league and New England all-star teams. All-Evergreen Football Selection: Isaiah White Carter Dillon Anthony Gaines Teddy Beaudet Adam Enxing
How’s the basketball season going? AD: I’m enjoying it. We play our home games in front of 13,000 home fans so it’s exciting.
Honorable Mention All-Evergreen Football Selections: Seamus Tully Chuk Ezeli Robbie Donnelly
Exciting, not nerve-wracking? AD: It was a little intimidating at first. nerve wracking at first. But after the first few games, the nervousness goes away. It’s going well, it’s a great experience for me and I’m taking it all in stride. There are going to be rough patches but it’s my freshman year so I’m really just happy to be on the court.
Player of the Year in Evergreen Football League: Isaiah White Class C Football All-New England Selections: Isaiah White Carter Dillon Anthony Gaines
Has it been a hard transition from NHS? AD: No. New Hampton prepared me well with the workload and being away from home. It’s similar in a lot of ways. (laughing) Doing my own laundry and the weather, those two are same. No University of Colorado on the schedule? Tory Miller ‘14 says you’re afraid to play him. Any truth to that? AD: I’d love to play Tory. No fear. It’d be fun. You beat Syracuse by three at home. Next year with Tyler Lydon ‘15 on that team, how do you see the game playing out? He’s good for at least four points, no? AD: That would be a good game. I would love to play against Syracuse and Ty. Best memory of NHS on the court? AD: Our championship game against Brewster, even though we lost. The journey to that point in our season was unforgettable. Best memory of NHS off the court? AD: Project Week with Ms. G, Josh Repine and Chloé Hanlan. Many, many good laughs and memories from that trip. We studied criminal justice, so we went to a courthouse and a prison in Boston. We spoke with a judge at the courthouse and an inmate at the prison. Great week. Any advice to the NHS seniors getting ready to graduate? AD: Stay focused on why you’re there. College can be distracting. The people in the dorms, hallways, your friends, they’re going to want to stay up late and be loud. You have to know when to shut it down at night.

WON
Three athletic teams win league titles Men’s Varsity Football won the Evergreen League, completing their second undefeated season in a row, and earning a trip to their second consecutive bowl. Women’s Varsity Hockey won the Lakes Region Championship and narrowly missed a bid to the NEPSAC Class A tournament. And in the spring, Women’s Varsity Lacrosse won the Lakes Region Championship, and the very first Lakes Region tournament.
COLLEGE NEWS
The 2014 Men’s Varsity Football playing in the Bowl Game vs. Cheshire Academy
The Vanguard When Jaime Totten was asked to assemble the first women’s ice hockey team at Hobart and William Smith she knew team ethos would decide success during the early years. “I wanted to build the William Smith culture untainted by experiences at other colleges.” So she filled the roster with freshmen. New Hampton’s Dori Craig ’14 and Johanna Slicklen ’14 joined sixteen other first-year student-athletes, thirteen from NEPSAC schools, in the inaugural season of Herons’ hockey. Asked if any of the old, NEPSAC rivalries have carried over, Craig demurs, “It’s fun to be around the other girls because we can talk about old games and mutual friends. All of the prep school girls on the team get along really well despite having played against each other!” Slicklen says the college has been very supportive of the team even holding an opening ceremony before the first home game. “We are always provided what we need on and off the ice, especially when traveling.” How have they handled the jump to the collegiate game? Totten again, “They’ve responded well. They both compete. They’ve been a terrific asset to William Smith Hockey. They always have a smile on the faces. They love to come to the rink; they love to play and they love to practice. They both play center so they have to be responsible on defense. Joahanna is leading her line defensively. And Dori is contributing on the power play unit. I can get on them, I can pressure them in practice and they’re responsive.” And when the competition is over, it seems as if the spirit of service learning at NHS has followed them to college. Coach Totten explains, “I insist the girls participate in the community. And Dori and Johanna are leaders there. They’ll skate with children after games, or with high school students during our public skates. They interact with visiting prospects really naturally. Not every kid can do that. And both of them say thank you at the end of practice. I’m not used to that.”

He sheepishly stood (at Victoria’s insistence) and accepted applause as she detailed the moments he went beyond the requirements of the curriculum. While Bowen endured the accolades, given in part for his requesting and receiving additional math classes (thank you, Mr. Freeman), Blodgett noted the tendency of students to push for more work, more practices, and heavier game schedules. She systematically picked an array of seniors and detailed their public and behind-the-scenes accomplishments. Amidst laughter, she reminded the class of their dedication. She also noted the range and spirit of the class, as it had taken back and retained the Powder Keg, and twice shaved heads in support of cancer research. Blodgett’s speech deftly connected the everyday requirements of the busy academic schedule to the world beyond New Hampton.
Co-valedictorians Mackenzie Little and Julia Lanni (both of New Hampton, New Hampshire) gave a thought provoking speech. Little quietly accepted the Meservey Medal – the School’s highest honor – for her sustained excellence in all areas of campus life. Along the way Mackenzie added the English and History Department medals. Tim Sestak of Darien, Connecticut, the Ben Cecil Speaker, presented Mr. Menke with a surprise gift: classmate Mike Wagner’s (Chicago, Illinois) only effort at oil painting. Mike completed the self-portrait, a stylized Viking biker, during a class he took on Arts Day. On a weekend given to formality and big accomplishments, Sestak used the work of art to echo Blodgett’s appreciation of the beauty of the small and detailed.

FACULTY PROFILE
FACES
The Joslins Years at NHS: 8 Rebekka (Bekka) and Justin Joslin have been at the forefront of academic change at New Hampton. As the Directory of Sustainability and biology teacher, Bekka helped bring a greenhouse cum classroom to the campus’ West Village to weave sustainability across disciplines within the science department and beyond. Justin, in his role as the Directory of Experiential Learning, has led the rebirth of Project Week. In the classroom, they command a host of elective courses from Agro-Ecology to Coding, Along with their teaching responsibilities Bekka is the head coach of the women’s varsity field hockey team and a house parent, while Justin serves as one of four Administrators on Duty. The live in O’Connor with their two daughters Kaleigh and Jenna. Justin, you’ve added a Robotics course and a Maker Lab in the last year. Why did you push for these? JJ: I was already doing it in my year-long applied physics class and we needed more time. We split two sections into four sections. Technically the kids now could take it for two years. All four are design-based, projectbased and student centered. The only thing I do is propose the challenge. They come up with an application to solve it. Bekka, how about you? What are you most excited about in the classroom? RJ: The Projects and Sustainability Think Tank. There’s no textbook, no structured homework. That’s intentional. These kids are going onto college and need more responsibility for their learning. They design their own projects based on something they care about, something that will leave a lasting impact by making New Hampton a better, more sustainable place. What’s been the response from the students? JJ: They like that they can come in and pick up where they left off. There’s not a lot of traditional homework; it’s focused on in-class learning. Most of the kids aren’t here to fulfill a requirement; they’re here because they want to build things. That pedagogic freedom sounds ideal. How did it come to pass? RJ: Russ (Brummer, Science Department Head) has been a huge supporter of change within the program. The general biology and chemistry curricula are sustainability-based. JJ: I can teach whatever I want and get supported by Russ and Matt (Fisk, Director of Studies). We have a core crew of faculty. Aside from Tom (Beaulieu, in his third year of teaching IB Physics) everyone else has been here seven years or more. We like working together and are motivated to try new things. RJ: And Andrew (Menke) pushes us to innovate. That culture makes it easy to innovate. We haven’t even talked about coaching and Project Week and raising your own kids. How do you juggle it all? RJ: Some seasons are trickier than others, but when I’m at work, the kids are around. They come to practice, they come to the music performances. There are little, extra touchpoints. JJ: They have lots of student role models. Plus, they’re socialized. RJ: They are so comfortable with people, they eat out in restaurants very well. The know how to communicate with adults, how to make eye contact. Kaleigh is so excited to go to school in the morning. And the diversity of the NHS student body is a benefit; the kids at their school don’t have that in central New Hampshire. JJ: And they live with their friends! The entire campus is a playground. But what I like most is they get to see what I do. They watch me teach and then they want to play in the lab and color on the white board. When we asked Kaleigh what she wanted to make for party favors for her birthday. She said, “robots.”

STUDENT PROFILE
DAVID FU ‘15 bridges a lot of boundary lines. As a film-maker, varsity football player and alpine ski racer, who also serves as the current Student Body President, he is admired by faculty and students alike. He also creates a buzz at dress dinners. Behind the fashion specs (designer rims with no lenses), blue velvet suit and blue suede Armanis, stands a deeply humble and respectful young man. He is the first to hold open a door, thanks teachers and coaches incessantly and even has to be told not to carry a teammate’s skis. He has also created culture. After football victories, the School rallies around his singing of the alma mater in the endzone. We sat down with Fu to discuss his time at NHS and his plans for the future. Why did you choose to study in the US? The US has the greatest advantage for studying filmmaking and getting a good education. I would like to stay in the States for a couple of years and see how filmmaking works in the U.S. Following that, I want to go back to China. Talk to us about filmmaking in China. For film, I think there’s a lot of things that could improve in China. For example, there are limited resources for filmmakers—not even a website for film internships for students—which is something I’d like to work on when I go back. Anything related to politics is censored in China. Stories that would make great films can’t be produced because of content. My goal is to work on this—to film some of these stories that are sensitive and bring authenticity to the industry. Would you consider living and working long-term in the US? It depends on what kind of opportunities I have in the future; I’m not ruling out a return to the States. Who influences your sense of fashion? I just am myself. I like to look good, and that’s the whole motivation. If you could fly anywhere tomorrow, where would you go? Paris. What’s the one shirt you’d pack? I’d bring my M&Ms tshirt there. The shirt represents American culture—sweets and chocolate.
36 NEW HAMPTON SCHOOL • WINTER 2015
It must take a lot of courage to put yourself out there? I don’t really care about people’s judgment. As long as I feel good, that’s all that matters. I obviously want to be respectful to others, but being myself is most important. Describe the fashion culture at New Hampton. People will definitely encourage you. That’s a benefit of studying at New Hampton. I know that’s not the case everywhere in the U.S. How did you begin singing at the football games? It started after the first game of my first season. I’ve sung “Billionaire” by McCoy and Mars, “We Are the Champions” –that’s a classic– “Yellow” by Coldplay. “New Hampton Fair New Hampton” was first sung at Powder Keg. I s.ng it after every game last season. We have to win to hear me sing. I normally change the lyrics a little bit. Everyone is sleeping on the bus and I’m listening to music and working on the songs. Favorite food in the dining hall? Country style chicken. If you could invite any three people, living or dead, to a dinner of country style chicken, whom would you choose? Michael Jordan, Barack Obama, Jason Mraz. What would you wear on a first date? Hawaii shirt, my pink Nike shorts, and flip flops. If you dress up super fancy, you won’t know if she likes you, your money, or your style. Try to be as simple as possible. Does your political career end at NHS? No, I want to run for student council in college. You’re Mr. Menke for a day. What do you change? Study hall optional for upper classmen. Favorite place to study? Academic Resource Center (ARC) Favorite band? Coldplay Some students stop playing sports during senior spring to focus on grades. But you stuck with football. Why? The first day at NHS, I didn’t know anyone. The football team was my first community, my teammates were my brothers. I think it’s important to remember where you started from.
WHERE ARE THEY NOW?
FACES
where are they now? Each issue, we track down a former faculty member who made a lasting impact on New Hampton School. GARA FIELD ‘87 worked in experiential learning and in the private sector before committing to a career in education by returning to teach at NHS. Along with a glossy resumé as an academic and leader of at-risk schools (she’s been commended by President Obama at the White House) she’s also thought and written deeply about timely pedagogic fine points. In the following e-mail Q & A, her collaborative spirit and lack of pretense shine through. Gara with Pleasant View Elementary School students.
GARA FIELD ‘87 Years at New Hampton School: 3 years as a student 1984-1987 6 years as a faculty member 1994-2000 Residence: Berry Hall Job title: Student; history teacher; varsity soccer & basketball coach; advisor; dorm parent Twitter: @gbfield Rhode Island PBS Story of Champions: youtu.be/OrVHiqMxKdY
What have you been doing since you left NHS? I graduated from NHS in 1987. Here are the fast facts to cover almost 3 decades: I worked my first job out of college at ESPN; then worked for Outward Bound; came back to NHS to teach and coach; moved to Atlanta, GA; went to graduate school (Harvard MEd ‘04 and UConn PhD ‘07); professorship at UGA; and currently the proud principal at Pleasant View Elementary School in Providence, RI. What do you love about your work? James Comer said it best: “No significant learning occurs without a significant relationship.” I love the students and families I work for, the faculty I work with, and the community partners I depend upon. I love learning alongside them all. And finally, I want to make this world a better place to be. (Harry Chapin reference is intentional!) Anything about your job you dislike? I’m not a fan of bureaucracy, politics or misguided educational policies. What have you learned about the importance of education? Can I just quote John Dewey? “Education is not preparation for life. Education is life itself.” Any stories that you retell regularly? Each MLK day I share the story of how our New Hampton community rallied at the NH State House year after year to have Dr. King’s name added to Civil Rights Day, which finally happened in 1999.
With whom do you stay in touch? Facebook makes it easy to keep in touch with quite a few of my friends and teachers from high school; many of my NHS colleagues; and it’s incredible to see so many of my students and athletes as adults living out their dreams, and raising little ones. Bonds from New Hampton last a lifetime! I live down the street from my best friends and former NHS faculty members Sarah McShane & Veronica Jutras. Our 3 year olds go to preschool together and they’re BFFs! How do you spend your free time? Reading Pete the Cat; singing variations from Frozen; and laughing a lot with my daughter Ella & fiancée Erin! What is your fondest memory of NHS? Hard to choose just one...as a student I loved hanging out with my friends, it didn’t matter where we were, but it was usually at Albie’s, in the octagon, up at Veazey, down in the dug out, out in the bat caves, or on an adventure during Projects Period. As a faculty member I enjoyed spending time with my advisees, coaching talented student-athletes, winning championships, and teaching Senior Seminar and freshmen World Cultures. Game nights at the Arsenaults’ and faculty trips to far-away lands will always be fun-filled memories.

WINTER 2015 • HAMPTONIA 39
A ANNA DREW IS APARTMENT SHOPPING.
Those familiar with the Olympic halfpipe skier’s social media feeds, a relative onslaught of mindbending halfpipe action shots and cheery candids with freeskiing royalty in exotic ski-town locales, might expect to find Drew engaged in a more adventurous or glamorous activity, but it’s late July and Drew is quietly poking around online real estate listings in Park City, UT. She is enjoying some down time with her family at their Windham, NH, summer house and like so many other young New Hampton alumni, she is preparing for a big move this fall, looking for an affordable spot with a short commute to her work while staying near good friends. However, unlike many of her peers, Drew’s workplace isn’t under the fluorescent lights of an office or in an ivy-covered classroom building. Instead, her daily grind takes place in the terrain parks and above the halfpipes of the world’s finest ski resorts, and her new address will be Park City, the home of the U.S. Ski Team. These moments of peace have been rare recently for Drew, who has been on a one-of-a-kind journey since she earned her New Hampton diploma in 2011. From Whistler to Oslo to the Sierra Madres, the 21 year old has racked up a litany of skiing accomplishments since her graduation: competing at the ESPN X Games, being named a member of the prestigious U.S. national freeskiing team, and participating in the 2014 Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia, to name a few. Despite her impressive resume, however, the Andover, MA, native remains more comfortable attempting 1260s in a halfpipe with 20-foot walls than celebrating her own success. To hear Drew discuss her rapid ascension to the freeskiing elite, one might be fooled into thinking her success just sort of happened. “After New Hampton, I went to UMaine for half a semester,” she says. “Originally I was going to take the second semester off to ski and just see what happened, and once I did that, I was named to the U.S. Team that following year. Then I kind of dropped everything.”
Her nonchalance aside, Drew has always exhibited a fierce dedication and single-mindedness in pursuit of her passion that has often impressed others more than herself. After deciding to postpone college classes in the fall after her high school graduation, she had planned to spend her first post-New Hampton winter competing out of Maine’s Sugarloaf program, but quickly found the support system, facilities, and weather more dependable out west. To Drew, a move to Vail, CO, felt like a new level of commitment, a step toward making her passion her profession. “Once I made the decision to ski and move out to Vail, it kind of wasn’t an option not to [pursue skiing professionally]. It’s just what I wanted to do and what I enjoyed doing, and I would enjoy doing it even if I didn’t compete, for sure. I just love skiing.” A whirlwind first full season on her own navigating the complicated freeskiing halfpipe competition circuit included nine top-three finishes and appearances on the USSA Revolution Tour, the Dew Tour, the FIS World Cup, and others. Drew ended the season 5th overall on the 2012 Association of Freeskiing Professionals (AFP) rankings, which in turn earned her a spot on the developmental Rookie Team of the U.S. Ski Team. A summer full of training camps with the national team, another winter in the sun-kissed parks of Vail working with the Ski Club Vail coaches, and Drew had quietly and quickly established herself as one of the preeminent female freeskiers on the planet. Well before Drew was executing 1260s, her skiing life started under more humble circumstances at the age of 3. “My family had a house at [New Hampshire’s] Loon Mountain–we shared it with my cousins–and so we’d go up there every weekend,” she says. However, Drew’s love affair with skiing was actually slow to develop and it took some persuasive family members to put her back on the two-plank path. “I skied when I was super young and then I switched over to snowboarding,” she admits. “I snowboarded
AN OLYMPIC EXPERIENCE, 140 CHARACTERS AT A TIME Anna Drew spends over 300 days a year on snow, but she still finds plenty of time for social media. A prolific presence on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook, Drew even created her own blog (annadrewski.wordpress.com) to capture her Olympic experiences. The Bruins and the Red Sox get plenty of play on her feeds, as do her friends and family of course, but little else captures her imagination like skiing, and little else captures the freeskier’s experience like Twitter. Here is a small sampling of Drew’s Olympic journey, beginning the day Drew was named to the Olympic team, in tweets:

for a couple years, but eventually my cousins were like, ‘Hey, we should go back to skiing,’ and I did. It just kind of grew from there.” After returning to her skiing roots in eighth grade, Drew was hooked. She worked with the Loon freestyle program when she could escape to the mountains, and after freshman year in her Massachusetts public school, she went seeking more time on snow and a new start. “[Her public school] was really hard for her,” says Anna’s mother Lisa. “She just didn’t feel like she fit into a school with 500 kids in one class. She needed a change.” When her older brother Nick, a hockey player, discovered New Hampton as a potential spot for a PG year and Anna learned she could spend every winter afternoon skiing with the respected Waterville freestyle program, she applied as part of a brother-sister package. Nick changed his plans late in the process, but Anna stayed the course and arrived at New Hampton in the fall of 2008. Drew quickly made an impression on faculty and peers, and she was best known for her unapologetically quirky interests (Hannah Montana?) and her barely harnessed energy in the houses. “Anna was and is unique,” says her former advisor and house parent Beth Grosart. “She doesn’t care what other people think. She was always willing to share her own thoughts and ideas without worrying about the other kid’s reaction... Anna always had our advisee group laughing.” Meanwhile, Drew was cultivating a natural advantage in the spin-happy world of elite park and halfpipe competition. A devoted figure skater since she age two – she says giving the sport up was one of the hardest parts of coming to New Hampton – Drew was immediately comfortable becoming a skiing human top, a clear edge in a sport where women are regularly spinning 900 degrees (two and a half revolutions) or more before returning to land. In fact, as a professional Drew now routinely pushes the spinning envelope further. Hers was one of the

only successful 1080s at the 2014 Olympics, and in 2012, she was the first woman to attempt a 1260 in a halfpipe competition. “Being able to spin definitely transferred over to skiing,” she says. “[Figure skating] kind of made everything… I don’t want to say easier, but it was an advantage over people who didn’t have a background in similar sports.” At Waterville in the afternoons, Drew also found coaches and peers to push her to develop these skills. Led by head freeskiing coach Dan Shuffleton, the Waterville staff helped Drew develop her talent through repetition. “The coaches at Waterville at the time were sometimes very frustrating because they would want me to get a trick right like a million times before I moved on,” she recalls, “but it was always in my best interests, and they definitely helped me get where I am today.” Drew’s blend of humility and goofiness at New Hampton often belied a steady work ethic in her classes, despite the time spent traveling for training and competitions. “She always had a way of finding the balance between what needed to get done and what she really might rather be doing,” recalls former house parent Gina Graciano with a smile. Similarly, Drew did little to announce her athletic accomplishments while at New Hampton. Often the lone freeskier in a van full of racers traveling to and from Waterville, her devotion to her craft never
waivered while many of her peers had little idea that their classmate would be vying for an Olympic medal in only a few years. At New Hampton, Anna had found an environment that offered her the right mix of support and independence.
“She needed to find happiness, and that’s her and our goal at the end of day. HER SKIING SUCCESS DEFINITELY WOULDN’T HAVE HAPPENED WITHOUT THE SUPPORT OF NEW HAMPTON.” “I think the whole reason Anna ended up at New Hampton is she needed to find her niche,” says her mother Lisa. “She needed to find happiness, and that’s her and our goal at the end of the day. Her skiing success definitely wouldn’t have happened without the support of New Hampton. She was able to take her homework with her, and through technology, she was able to have a well-rounded high school experience and also get her work done when she was on the road, which was awesome.” After deciding to commit to her passion after her New Hampton graduation, her meteoric rise to the national stage left her on the edge of the American Olympic team leading into the 2013-14 season. However, Drew had some decisions to make. WINTER 2015 • HAMPTONIA 41

While adept at both halfpipe and slopestyle as a professional, she had made most of her hay in the halfpipe. And while the spinning came naturally to Drew, she needed to progress her flow and style if she was going to qualify for the ultra-competitive Amer-

She decided to design much of her training and competition schedule around the halfpipe. “I’m better at pipe, and I just wanted to focus on one thing going into last season,” she says with a hint of sadness about having to leave some of her park training behind. 42 NEW HAMPTON SCHOOL • WINTER 2015
Pushed by her elite-level peers, Drew made significant progress working with U.S. Ski team coaches, but with all eyes on the Olympic Games as the flagship event of the 2014 season – it would be the first Olympic halfpipe competition in history – and with each nation only allowed four skiers, the competition for the American Olympic halfpipe team was fierce. Trying to earn her way onto one of the deepest and most talented teams in the world through FIS World Cup events, Drew found herself on the outside looking in come mid-winter. Without the ranking for an automatic bid, she would have to rely on being a coaches’ discretionary pick, and she had no real insight on whether she would get the nod. She could do little but wait and hope. “I was in my apartment in Vail, just sitting on my couch,” she says of receiving the fateful call from her coaches. “I thought it was a joke. I didn’t believe it; it was crazy.” Drew had indeed been named the U.S coaches’ discretionary pick, and she was going to the Olympics. That January phone call kicked off a frenzy of activity and travel (and tweets), and just a few weeks later, Drew was walking shoulder-to-shoulder with her American teammates at the Opening Ceremony of the Winter Olympic Games in Russia. Despite international concerns about political unrest and even threats of terrorism in Russia, Anna and her family felt none of those external pressures. “It was incredible,” says her mother Lisa. “It was too bad that it was publicized that it was such a dangerous place to go, and the United States wasn’t well represented over there. It was so safe, and everything was absolutely spectacular and the views were gorgeous. The people were extremely friendly. I never felt so safe.” However, despite the initial glow of simply being an Olympian and the selection of fascinating events to choose from as a spectator – she excitedly took in some hockey games and the figure skating team event, of course – Drew was in Sochi to compete for a medal. After a few days, Drew packed up from the Olympic Village with her freeskiing teammates, and headed into the mountains to Rosa Khutor resort, the site of the halfpipe, slopestyle, aerials, ski cross, and moguls events. There she lost dependable wifi service, took in spectacular mountain sunsets, and prepared for her event, a task that was both physical and mental. The weather was warm and while the Contined on page 45
HALFPIPE 101 Anna Drew may not have medaled at the 2014 Olympic Games in Sochi, but she still registered a noteworthy first. As a competitor in the inaugural Olympic halfpipe skiing competition, Drew became one of the first women ever to compete in an Olympic halfpipe skiing event. The domain of snowboarders only since 1998, the Olympic halfpipe officially welcomed men and women skiers for the first time in Sochi, and Drew’s American teammates, Maddie Bowman and David Wise, took home the first-ever gold medals in the event. When Drew was a student at New Hampton, the Olympics were not even on her radar as a distant goal. “I really wanted to – well, still want to – get an X Games medal,” she says. “I always had that at the back of my mind when I started. It’s crazy… [Halfpipe] wasn’t even named an Olympic sport until the year after I graduated, so it definitely was not one of the things that I thought in the back of my mind would ever be an option. The X Games were the highest level.”

Skiers have been dropping into pipes next to snowboarders for more than a decade – the first skiers competed in the X Games halfpipe in 2002 – but the International Olympic Committee was slower to embrace the event. With jaw-dropping spins, flips, and grabs, big personalities, bigger smiles, and high drama in both the men’s and women’s competitions, it appears it was well worth the IOC’s wait for a national audience. That said, with multiple tours, events, and governing bodies, the landscape of competitive halfpipe skiing remains a difficult one to navigate. “Last year, it was mainly FIS (International Ski Federation) events because your ranking with FIS was what they used to pick the Olympic team,” says Drew. “In other seasons, it’s based on AFP (Association of Freeskiing Professionals), and off that list is where you get your X Games invite or your Dew Tour invite, so it’s super confusing. They overlap all the time.” A judged sport on any circuit, Olympic halfpipe skiing competitions are determined by a panel of professional evaluators who assess each of the athlete’s runs on a scale of 1 – 100 based on “overall impression,” a system similar to AFP events. The judges’ scores are averaged to give a single 1- 100 score for each run. Each athlete takes two runs during qualifying, the lowest of the two is discarded, and the top 12 finishers move into the finals, where the process begins again from scratch. Judges look for athletes to not just spin, but spin in both directions, change the axis of their rotation, land and take off switch (backwards), and perform midair grabs. To complete all or some of this without a bobble or break in rhythm while inserting some individual creative flair is the key to scoring in the 80s and 90s. “Having a clean run with grabs that are different than everyone else’s is important,” says Drew. “The judges get really bored with seeing the same run. If every girl is doing a 900, a 540, and a 720 in her run, then the first who does something a little different is going to get scored higher that the girls who do the exact same run.” Nearly 600 feet long, 65 feet wide, and over 22 feet high, the Sochi Olympic halfpipe, built at the Rosa Khutor resort, showcased the best of the sport, despite warm conditions that began to break down the pipe late in the competition. Variable conditions are a part of the sport, and determining a risk/ reward strategy is a key element to any competition. Indeed, sitting outside the medals after her first run in the finals and with nothing to lose, Drew attempted what would have been a truly monumental trick appropriate for the magnitude of the competition, the 1260. When she did not successfully complete the three and a half revolutions, crashing hard to the bottom of the pipe, Drew completed her run and skidded to a stop with a wide smile, happy to settle for being a part of history.

8:30 a.m.
This would be a normal day of training during the winter last year in Vail. However, I also do a lot of my training in the offseason. The winter is not usually the time for new tricks. That work comes during the training sessions that start in the spring, usually around May, and go until the season starts back up in December. Every year, the U.S. Team does a series of training camps, the first one in May, the second in July, the third in late August/ early September, and the fourth and final one before the season starts in November. These camps are progression camps, designed for focusing on and learning new tricks. Training in the winter is designed to polish my event runs, so they will be clean and consistent when its comes time for competition. »»

pipe was first class, it also stood the chance of breaking up. And then there was the timing of the event. “The comp was at night,” she says, “which is tough because you wake up and then you have the whole day, waiting around, and you have to get your mind into it, but if you get in there too early, you start freaking out, so it’s about distracting yourself during the day and getting ready when the time does come.” When the time arrived, Drew delivered a solid qualifying run, and while she was a bit puzzled by her middle-of-the-pack scores, she sailed easily into the finals along with all of her American teammates, Maddie Bowman, Brita Sigourney, and Angeli Vanlaanen. After completing one of the night’s only 1080s in her first run under the lights in the finals, Drew was still stacked into the middle of the final group when the scores came up. With nothing to lose in her final Olympic run and needing to differentiate herself in the eyes of the judges, Drew attempted a monumental 1260, despite the melting snow and crumbling pipe walls. It was a bold attempt at history, a gutsy shot at upping the ante with a trick rarely completed in competition. True to character, Drew shrugs at the attempt and struggles a bit to articulate the novelty of three and a half rotations in the air. (Like many professional athletes, Drew doesn’t seem to belabor the physical difficulty of what now comes naturally to her body. Enough repetitions in a controlled environment and anything can become at least somewhat routine to a professional.) “It’s not easy,” she says of her 1260. “It definitely needs to be the right time for it, but it’s not super hard either. … I can’t really put it in any other words.” This particular 1260 was not to be, and she slammed into the lip of the halfpipe before sliding down the icy wall and skidding to a stop in the slush. While her friend and teammate Bowman basked in the glory of her gold medal, Drew would settle for 9th in the first-ever Olympic halfpipe competition. Though she had dreamed of more, Drew was happy to keep her health and take home memories to last a lifetime. After all, holding regrets is not her style. “Dropping in,“ she says of her favorite Olympic memory. “That first moment… it was just crazy, kind of hard to explain, but it was the moment where I was like, ‘I made it to the Olympics.’” In that one Olympic moment, spinning tightly in the lights above the 20-foot icy wall, trying to

push the sport’s envelope once more, Drew captures both the potential glory of the professional freeskier and the massive risk. Drew is well acquainted with the potential peril she puts her body in on a daily basis. “I think about [the risk] quite often,” she says. “You can’t not think about it because it seems like every other week someone is getting a new ACL or a shoulder repaired. There are injuries in the sport, and it comes with doing the sport, so it’s there in the back of your mind, but it’s part of it and you have to put it to the side and just ski.” “I think you have to be absolutely nuts to do what she does,” adds Lisa. “Every run is short but it’s terrifying for me. When she falls, I just cringle, and I feel that way about all the skiers that I watch. No one is hoping the competition falls.”

“That first moment...it was just crazy, kind of hard to explain, but it was the moment where I was like, ‘I MADE IT TO THE OLYMPICS.’” With the risks of her sport in mind, Drew is aware her window of opportunity may not last decades. “My parents still want me to go to college,” she laughs. “They bug me about it all the time. I will, but this is my now.” She has set short-term goals for her 2015 season and looks forward to a season free of the Olympic pressure cooker. She was also disappointed not to be offered an invitation to the 2014 X Games last year and hopes to make her return to that series, her original dream competition. In the longer term, she wants another taste of that Olympic limelight. “I definitely want to go to the next Olympics, and I definitely want to be doing it for a long time, so I take it day-by-day for sure.” For now, in late July on a New Hampshire lake with her family, the first step in that day-to-day journey is finding that elusive Park City apartment and considering advice for current New Hampton students. “I think my advice would be to take the time to figure out what you want to do,” she says after a brief hesitation. “Follow a passion if you have it and figure out who you are before you commit to college or a different path. For me, I think taking a year, or more than a year for me, was the right choice.” Considering all that she has experienced thus far, it’s hard to argue with her assessment. WINTER 2015 • HAMPTONIA 45

Turney Duff A Life Reclaimed
Turney Duff’s ’89 life bares a passable similarity to many who graduated from a New England boarding school. After college, he moved to Manhattan, and worked his way up the ranks of a Wall Street firm, eventually commanding a desk and earning million dollar bonuses. From there, his path diverged. He juggled multiple girlfriends, experimented with and then gave himself wholly to hard drugs, and turned himself into a lying, cheating misanthrope. With a fortitude that most could not muster, Duff recovered. He’s been clean for five years now and has re-dedicated himself to his daughter. To complete the transformation, he spurned offers to return to Wall Street in favor of a re-invention as a writer and media personality. Duff publishes regularly on cnbc.com and cafe.com and appears on CNBC’s “Filthy Rich Guide.” On camera, he comes across as both sharp and generous simultaneously. You’d want to sit next to him on a cross-country flight. Duff is a natural storyteller with an impressive range of narrative. He’s equally comfortable chron-
icling hard lessons on the high school football field as he is his descent into a full-time cocaine addiction. Admirably, he writes without self-aggrandizement, his prose mimicking his persona: open, self-deprecating, and fast paced. His first book, The Buy Side, is an honest, unashamed look at his successes and failings, all told with fantastic pacing. His prose isn’t hindered by excessive analysis and never drops into apologetics. At the book’s beginning, Duff arrives accidentally on Wall Street, lucks into a job at Morgan Stanley, but struggles to find a role that satisfies him. After a few years in a position steeped in verbal abuse, he carves his own niche which propels him to the mega-hedge fund Galleon. With $7 billion under management, Galleon pushes Duff into new levels of wealth. Alas, in his experience the drugs accompany the money. Ultimately, he has to quit Wall Street altogether because he cannot manage the peripheral lifestyle. The auto-biography’s strength lies in the revelation of Duff’s thorny experience without bitterness.

Q&A
You were born in Cleveland but your family moved to Kennebunk, ME at age five–what was that transition like? I remember asking my mom if they spoke the same language in Maine, and she said yes. But I think she lied, because when I got on the playground the kids said, (Duff switches to a passable Maine accent) “My mahm drove me in her cahh.” They were not speaking English. But I slowly picked it up. How did you come to New Hampton? I graduated high school and I had success in football. And I was 5’8” 140 pounds. I had the mentality if I was going to play football in college, I was going to play Division I. I didn’t see the point – and this is an eighteen-year-old kid talking – back then I said if I’m going to do it, I want to do it at the top level. At 5’8” 140 pounds, there’s no way that was going to happen. I went to New Hampton to play football, but it ended up being a great bait-and-switch because I didn’t end up playing football in college but that extra year really helped me adjust to college, balancing freedom and getting my work done. It definitely gave me an advantage. In college, you see guys that are in the dorm next to you freshmen year and by the second semester they’re kicked out. They couldn’t handle all that freedom and couldn’t put it together and if I didn’t go to New Hampton I very easily could have been one of those guys. NHS also prepared you for Wall Street? At Galleon you were told, “each day expect to be fired. If you’re not, you’ve had a good day.” How do you prepare for that environment? I didn’t have any plans to work on Wall St. After calling my uncle for advice, he called me back and said, “You’ve got ten interviews in New York next week.” So my first interview was at Lehman Brothers. I wasn’t sure what was going on, by I knew I wanted in. There was something about the utter craziness of the trading floor and the people on the trading floor, what they were wearing, how they talked, and I got caught up in it immediately. Once I got to Morgan, here I am during the day sitting next to a guy from Harvard, and a woman from Duke and somebody from Stanford. I was out-connected, out-degreed I didn’t know how to stand out at my job. I quickly figured out when the office lights went out and the city lights came on, that was my time. I was able to progress up the ladder because of happy hour, because of networking and being able to talk to all kinds of people and relate. Some of my early jobs were very much like a fraternity pledge: you paid your dues, you did what-

ever was asked of you with the hopes that in a few years you would be sitting in a different seat and you would be making money. It was just the natural progression of things. And I signed up for it. I thought, “You can say whatever you want to me and treat me however you want because it’s all going to be worth it in the end.” I’m probably a great example of EQ is as important as IQ. I could walk into a room and tell you the emotional temperature of the people in the room. I know instinctually how to approach let’s say: “Is my boss angry? Do I come into the room a certain way? Oh, he’s in a good mood, this is a great day to ask for Friday off.” And this sounds awful, it sounds manipulative, but I was really good at maximizing relationships. I would sit on the trading desk at Galleon or Argus Partners and I would see these other traders try to squeeze their guy from Merril Lynch for technical analysis and in my mind he’s not good at it. So you call the guy over at Friedman Billings or Morgan Stanley who is good at it. I knew people’s strengths and weakness, and I was able to take their strengths and weaknesses and use them to my advantage. I was shocked that other people weren’t doing that. I had a biotech analyst who got great information, but whenever she started to panic I knew we should buy more. She would come running to my desk, “We have to sell, we have to sell!” “Did anything change?” “No, but it keeps going down. We have to sell! We have to sell!” As soon as she would leave, I would sneak and buy more shares. And it worked every time. We had another analyst who was awful. My Portfolio Manager said to me, “We have to fire Matt.” I said, “Are you kidding me? The guy is gold.” “What are you talking about?” “The guy is always wrong. Do you have any idea how valuable that information is?” We would do the opposite of whatever he said because it always made money. I didn’t necessarily have my own skillset to rely on. I wasn’t analyzing stocks, but I did have a gift of knowing how to make money. I told people in interviews, “I probably have the lowest SAT score of anyone at this table, but if we play poker for a week, I’ll take all your money.” There’s definitely an art and a skill to making money. You could have two hedge funds and their people have the exact same education and the same information but they’re not going to make the same amount of money on the same idea, one hedge fund’s going to make more. And there’s a skill in that. That sounds awfully rational. And you still haven’t answered the question: how do you navigate
an industry which can be so toxic, based on humiliation? No part of it was soul-crushing? I wouldn’t say it was soul-crushing, but in order to get where you wanted to go, you had to pay your dues. And either you’re willing do to it or not. And the guys who weren’t willing to do it had a much, much tougher road getting to the seat they wanted. And the people who said, “Do it, do whatever you want,” people respected that, and they might get promoted earlier or they might get invited to a dinner where they meet somebody else. It’s a relationship business, whether it’s client relationship or peer relationship, a relationship with your boss, it’s important. The majority of interviews on Wall Street, yeah they want to know if you can do the job, if you’re competent, but it really comes down to, “can I sit next to this person for twelve hours a day? Will I enjoy sitting two feet away for twelve hours a day?” But when Galleon co-founder Gary Rosenbach makes you stand in the corner for five minutes for botching a trade, that sounds like a 19th Century schoolhouse trick. Yeah, it was funny. Maybe it’s funny now, but at the time, while other people in the room must have been aghast at the bullying, instead of crying or screaming in anger, you’re trying not to break into laughter. Yeah, clearly that’s not the appropriate punishment for a 29-year-old hedge fund trader. But it’s also not the typical response. The typical response would be humiliation or anger. You somehow rise above it and see that the whole dynamic is absurd. It is! A lot of people would be really embarrassed and resentful. They would swallow their pride and silently hate the guy. I guess, in my eyes, I saw the ridiculousness and it was kind of funny. If I was on public display on Times Square that might be a different story, or if they made me cross a line, and I had to betray some belief or do something to a family member that would be different, but to me it was fun and games. You make the case for your emotional intelligence. But to be fair to your own skillset, you’re also really meticulous with the payment levels to the sell side. You use the example of working with Goldman Sachs. You figure out if you spend $500,000 a year with them you get the same service as if you spend a $1,000,000, so you decide you’re only going to spend $500,000. Continued on page 50
The Buy Side
Crown Business 320 PP.
There’s something known as “ripping a stock,” which is a manipulation of the stock price. Essentially, that’s what I’m trying to do today. The more stocks I can rip today, the better our number will be for the year. I begin by identifying our ten largest positions that are illiquid. By illiquid I mean companies that don’t trade more than a few hundred thousand shares a day. It’s much easier to move the price with these than, say, a stock that trades a million shares a day. I find names such as CYBX, Cyberonics, a neuromodulator company engaged in the design, development, and commercialization of implantable medical devices that provide vagus nerve stimulation therapy for the treatment of refractory epilepsy and treatment-resistant depression. What? I have no idea what that means and I don’t care. The stock fits my criteria. Once I have all the stocks identified, I wait until the market is almost closed for the year to make my move. At about three o’clock in the afternoon, I get a call from a broker named Tracey who works for a firm that is light on research but heavy on hustle and expense account—she’s taken me on several trips. Like all of my brokers, Tracey is someone I talk to every day. But she’s calling me at this moment because I ripped stocks with her on this day last year and she wants to know if I’m going to use her again. For her it’s a great boost to her commission run, millions of shares to trade with no risk. Her excuse for why she needs the orders early is so she can prepare. Bullshit! The thing about ripping stocks is, the bigger banks like Goldman and Morgan Stanley won’t do it.

You need a firm like Tracey’s that plays it fast and loose. Let me get right back to you, I say. And I hang up the phone. In one way, I have to hand it to Tracey...When I used her last year, I knew she leaked my orders to another client so they could front run my trades. I knew this because the stocks began to tick up before the time I told her to put my orders in. Then her shady client was selling them back to me when I was trying to rip the stock. And now she’s on the phone again this year, looking to do the same thing. But I’m not the same trader I was last year. I still want everybody to love me. But...(maybe) it’s the MDRX trade that Rosenbach had me shut out of, or maybe it’s just the natural process of becoming jaded the longer you work for hedge funds. Whatever it is, Tracey has just made a huge mistake. At 3:30, I call her back and explain how important this year is to me and how I really need her to do a great job. Then I give her the orders with an explicit instruction to not trade them until 3:55. “Not a second before,” I say. “I know,” she says. There are ten companies, and I’m shorting each a million shares. I repeat the list of ten stocks back to her. A short of a million shares of CYBX in five minutes, for example, would typically take the stock down at least five dollars, probably more. I have the ten stocks up on my computer screen so I can monitor them. At about 3:40, they start to move a little lower until all of them are red, negative for the day. I’m sure Tracey leaked my orders again. I call her. Remember, I tell her, don’t start selling any of my orders until 3:55. “Of course,” she says, sounding almost insulted that I’d call to remind her. At 3:51, the stocks are still going down. At 3:52 they get hit another thirty cents. At 3:53 they are beginning to hold at their lower levels, and at 3:54 it’s time for me to go to work. Whoever front ran my order is done and is waiting to buy them back when I hit the market. They think they’ll make a few easy bucks. It’s then that I pick up the phone. “I know, I know,” Tracey says. “I’m getting ready to short all your stocks right now.” “Actually,” I say, “cancel all my orders.” The silence is priceless. “What?” she finally manages to say. “Cancel all my orders,” I say. I’ve reminded her twice not to place the orders until 3:55. It is 3:54, and she has no out. As soon as I hang up the phone, I call Gus and give him the real orders; they’re actually buys, not sells. By 3:56 the stocks are moving higher. By 3:57 almost all of them are flat on the day. By 3:58 they’re ripping—Gus and Tracey’s client can’t buy them fast enough, and by the closing bell I’m up a few dollars on all of them. When Gus calls back with reports, he tells me he was only able to buy a few hundred thousand of each stock. He feels bad. I tell him it’s perfect. Argus just made an extra ten million dollars.

Back then, no one was doing that. To me it was just basic math and logic. I probably figured it out over a couple of years, well, we got this certain level of service from Goldman last year and we paid them 800 grand and this year we only paid them 500 grand, and we got the same number of one-on-one meetings and the same treatment at the conference and we’re getting the same service from our research salesman and sales traders. Why pay them the extra 300 grand when we could kick that to a smaller broker and be treated like a king? (It spans all businesses.) In their mind they have different levels of service and if you’re a client paying five hundred to a million you’re going to get X and to get to the next level you have to pay 1.5 or 1 million and I knew we weren’t going to do that. Why not get the biggest bang for your buck and maximize your commission dollars? And that definitely helped me get noticed early in my career. How would you articulate that skill? Just trying to get the best bang for the buck. Managing commission dollars and trying to get the most service for the dollar. The book’s been marketed as a tell-all – deals made in bars, Galleon tanking, strippers and drugs – a great read for the beach. And it is all of those things, but one of its strengths is the perfect balance between that fast living and the X’s and the O’s of high performance in financial services. It does provide insight into technically what makes people in that industry better than others. Very often people live in doorman-buildings. At holiday times you give a tip to all of the doormen and the porters and everyone who oversees the building. All of these people on Wall Street have the mentality that you tip based on the prior year’s service. No, you pay a tip for the future year. You give each guy a hundred bucks and they’re going to treat you a certain way for the coming year. You don’t pay them $50
I think there’s a few things going on there. That’s his generation. The man does a man’s work. But I also think, as a creature of habit, some part of him enjoyed being meticulous and having everything be a certain way. And I just didn’t have that gene. We had a pretty big lawn and I quickly figured out that if the lines weren’t exactly perfect he didn’t want me mowing the lawn anymore. And if the firewood wasn’t stacked the way he wanted it, he didn’t want me to stack the fire wood. I figured out the best way to get out of chores was to do them imperfectly. I’m not proud of that, but he needed things done a certain way and I just didn’t conform to that. And that created a lot of tension. I have an aunt who says, “If you don’t want to change a light bulb, break the lightbulb the first time you change it and then nobody will ever ask you again.” That’s a good quote. At that early age, is this is you understanding Wall Street systems? Non-industry folks assume that you research the most undervalued firms, then buy those, and sit back and wait for them to gain value. But most of what you did is trading against each other, like poker, where a couple of guys win, and a couple of guys lose. Do you think that in figuring out how to get out of mowing the lawn and stacking the wood that you discover how to beat other people at the table? Yeah, there’s definitely a correlation. It’s ironic because I turned out to be an addict, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. No matter what the situation is, if I want a different result I need to try new things. And one thing my parents were really great at, even as a young child, they allowed me to make my own mistakes. That’s by far the best way to learn. I’m friendly with a woman named Sarah Blakely, she
Why pay them the extra 300 grand when we could kick that to a smaller broker and be
treated like a king? because you felt they didn’t do a good job. Not a lot of people thought that way. The reason you tip is for the future, not the past. Could you talk about your dad and your tricky relationship? You write eloquently about your dad shoveling snow at dawn while the rest of the family sleeps. Every New England kid has that image. Why does that resonate as an example of silent masculine sacrifice, and some of the attached pitfalls? 50 NEW HAMPTON SCHOOL • WINTER 2015
started a company called Spanx. Growing up, her father, once a week would ask what she failed at. She’d say , “Oh, I tried out for the play and I was terrible,” and they’d high five. She was encouraged to fail. My family, although we didn’t sit around talking about my failures, they allowed me to make mistakes which definitely helped me in my career. You need to figure out what works and what doesn’t work, and the best way to do that is trying. There’s some discussion among the faculty about
encouraging risk-taking and managing failure in courses... (interrupting) Maybe they should start a Failure course, so the whole point of the entire semester is finding things that you fail at. You could get an A in failing. I used to be commended on, let’s say I was in a losing trade, and I knew it was a loser. Let’s say I bought 100,000 shares of something and now I’m down a hundred grand, I was able to say, “I was wrong, sell it.” Alright, so I lost two hundred grand. But if that stock goes down another ten points, that second move was a great trade. There are a lot of people on Wall St. and in life who cross their fingers and hope and pray, and it ends up getting much worse. But cutting a loss short is a great move if that’s the direction the stock is going. And there’s an application to the world beyond finance? Yes, I could be faced with that this fall. My second book that we’re shopping to twelve editors. If we get no’s, I have to make a decision: do I spend more time on this book, or do I put it on the shelf? Could you talk more about the writing of the The Buy Side? I’ve always had a passion for writing. Drugs and alcohol roadblocked that. When I returned from my second drug and alcohol rehab, I didn’t know where I was going or what was going to happen, but I knew Wall Street wasn’t the right move for me. A friend of mine suggested I go see an achievement expert, a creative life coach. She challenged me to write three times this week for thirty minutes. That night I got home and I ended up writing for two or three hours. The next day, same thing. By our next appointment, I had written all seven days for well over half an hour. I finally found that thing I’d been chasing for fifteen years on Wall Street. I’d tried to fill this void within me with money, and sex, and power, and drugs, alcohol, pornography. And for the first time ever, writing started to fill it. In the summer of 2010, I wrote everyday. I finished a 90,000 word novel in ninety-one days. I was like, I’m ready for a book deal, I need an agent. I didn’t know how the business worked. So, I started to do rewrites, I started to figure out how I was going to get an agent. By the spring of 2011, I sat down to write what I thought was just an article. In one night I wrote 6,000 words straight, and I emailed it to a few friends and it was The Buy Side. It was basically my career on Wall Street. The genesis was my life and success mirrored that of the market. If you put two graphs up against each other, one the S&P 500 and the other my career, they mirror each other. That email got passed around a little bit, and a guy who had read it and was dropping his kids off at school and knew a literary agent. She called me up and asked if I’d be interested in writing a book proposal. That’s how The Buy Side happened. Writing helped me get back to my true self. It was immensely helpful in my early sobriety. There was a real high

“I’ve just turned thirty-four; this party is meant to celebrate that. But it’s meant to celebrate something more. Somehow, against the odds, I’ve become a hedge fund trader—a job description that is the envy of Wall Street. I’m at the very pinnacle of my career, a career powered not by an Ivy League MBA or some computer-like dexterity (a common skill set among the youthful and moneyed dancing in front of me) but by an odd Wall Street truth:
what happens after the closing bell is as important as anything that happens during the day.” TURNEY DUFF, The Buy Side
to writing and in telling stories that was safer than drugs, alcohol and money. And it felt right. And that’s how I got back into it. Were you reading while you were on Wall Street? No. I didn’t start reading again until I got sober, which was age forty. I wasn’t even a big reader in high school. I took a class at New Hampton on Shakespeare, and I remember I loved the class. Reading Shakespeare was hard for me, but when we got into a class discussion about the actual story and the motives of the character and the way Shakespeare crafted it, I was all in. As a high school student, one of my idols was Hitchcock, which I don’t think is that normal. I’ve always been drawn to great storytellers. I think I’m a decent writer; I think I might be a better story teller than an actual writer. But I guess I’m good enough to be published– (interrupting) Your pacing, your rate of revelation are exemplary. You know what’s interesting about that? When peo-
ple ask who my inspirations are, or the people you look up to or... Who are your inspirations? Obviously Stephen King and Michael Lewis would be on the list. I’d also include Eminem and Tupac. I’m just blown away at how Eminem can tell a story in eight bars, when it takes a novelist 300 pages.
He was reliving old times of New Hampton and football. And he basically told me he was proud that I told the truth regardless of the consequences. It felt really good. You never know the power of a book and who is going to read it. To have it come full circle from New Hampton, two people, a football coach and English teacher, still remembered me and were proud of me.
Specifically with those last two, do you think it’s concision? I think it’s concision, I think it’s efficiency. It’s visually painting a picture. Obviously with music there’s a beat behind it, but I’m amazed at someone who can say something in six words, where it might take somebody else a page. Any last thoughts on the book’s reception? The book came out, and it did ok and people were very complimentary. About three, six months after the book came out, I got an email from Mark Tilton, my old English teacher at New Hampton. A month later, Harrison Goldman send me an eight page letter. WINTER 2015 • HAMPTONIA 51

REB 52 NEW HAMPTON SCHOOL • WINTER 2015
ORN The defining image of rural North American hockey sets adolescents and teens chasing a puck on a frozen pond. Whether in Wisconsin, New England, Ontario or Québec, outdoor play on a snow-cleared makeshift rink evokes pastoral good health, hard work, and a dedication to the sport tested by frigid temperatures and cutting winds. Pond hockey speaks to the thrill of temporary freedom from parents and teachers, chores and homework. Lindsay Arena, the open-ended barn, pays tribute to that image. Roofed and two-sided to protect the ice from the late fall and early spring sun, it still affords a view of the woods from its north end. The ice is famously hard, a boost to speed of play. And the infamously cold temperatures in January are thought of as a home ice advantage – visiting teams struggle to focus and even function, while the stoic New Hampton teams treat weather as a matter of course. But as it approaches a looming $1 million repair bill, it is fair to question whether the facility still honors the School’s proud legacy of New England and national championship teams. by TRENT SMITHER

“THE RINK ON THE POND
had boards but no fence, certainly no glass. Even the fans were unprotected.” Gary Eggleston ’54 is reminiscing about a time before the construction of Lindsay when games were played on the pond between the current library and Memorial Hall. Arriving at NHS in the fall of 1951, he quickly found his place as a three-season athlete. After graduation, he earned a degree from Northeastern and set out to make a living in professional hockey. He spent twenty years in the Detroit Red Wings organization as a scout before joining the National Hockey League’s Central Scouting Bureau. Eggleston worked in that office for the next thirty years. Along the way he played a key role in USA hockey, serving on the selection committee of the Olympic hockey team that won gold at Lake Placid in 1980. Yet with such a storied resume, what are his favorite memories: watching teams he’d helped construct win Stanley Cups or watching a bunch of college kids he had selected beat the heavily favored Soviets in Lake Placid? Eggleston doesn’t hesitate. “Beating Tilton 9-0 on the pond and 10-2 away. They’d beaten us in football so that felt pretty good. And we beat KUA twice in a season, a first.” In the 1970s and early 80s, New Hampton School assembled some of the best men’s teams in the country. By the late 70s, their schedule consisted of college JV teams and a handful of elite prep schools. In the last five years of 1970s they averaged above an .833 winning percentage with gaudy goal differentials. The list of accolades is so strong as to seem almost suspicious. In 1976, they shut out Merrimac JV and beat Bowdoin, University of Vermont, the University of Massachusetts and Dartmouth. In 1977, they beat Dartmouth, Boston College, Brown and Cornell, while the New Hampton JV team won the Lakes Region title. They won 25 games in 1979 and the Dartmouth Invitational. In 1981, the team won a national championship and a continental tournament, dubbed the North American championship, en route to a 25-1 record. They won the Lakes Region Championship each year from 1981 through 1984. New Hampton’s current men’s coach Casey Kesselring describes the dominance, “They won D1 New England’s every other year. Not only were the kids great, but the coaching was just as good. Mike McShane went on to coach in college for thirty years. Joe Marsh had an excellent career at St. Lawrence.” During his tenure as General Manager of the Penguins, Ray Shero ‘80 helped bring a Stanley Cup to Pittsburgh. The Penguins never finished below second place in their division, winning the Atlantic twice and the Metropolitan once. He came to 54 NEW HAMPTON SCHOOL • WINTER 2015
Pittsburgh after five seasons as assistant GM of the Ottawa Senators and eight seasons in the same role with the Nashville Predators. Before his twenty-year stint in the NHL, he followed Marsh to St. Lawrence where he played four seasons of Division I hockey, captaining the team in his junior and senior years. His rich career began at New Hampton. “I left high school in South Jersey and arrived my junior year. I’d just turned sixteen. I was on the 5th line under Joe Marsh. It was an eye opener to play and practice with the seniors: the way they prepared, their approach to games, the pace of play.” The School added a women’s varsity team for the 1982-83 season. Although spirited, they wouldn’t score their first goal until the 1983-84 campaign. But the program persevered, and by the mid-90s was ready to challenge the best teams in New England. The 1994-95 team realized the program’s potential by winning the New England championship with a roster of varied abilities. Mandy Cronin ‘98, a goaltender, remembers, “We had a small team, very mixed talent levels. It wasn’t a stacked team by any means. We had four or five girls who were fairly elite, but the rest…” Cronin played goalie for four years at the University of Maine at Orono, ten seasons in professional hockey in Canada, and coached in the USA hockey system and for Team USA. She was quick to reply to the question of defining moments in her career. “Beating Pomfret in the semis of New England’s and then winning the whole thing the next day.” As the women’s team was establishing itself as a perennial contender, the men’s program stumbled into decline. Although they qualified for the New England championships in 1987, ‘88 and ‘90 by the late 1990s the program foundered. Kesselring explains, “In the 90s, prep school hockey improved, the parity improved. That was the avenue for New England kids to go straight to college.”
Rebuilding NHS program
With the increased competition, New Hampton entered a fallow period. The teams competed, practiced and played with intensity but fell short of the laurels of their predecessors. Billy Riley, now the head coach at Groton, was tasked with righting the ship in 2003. During his time, the win-loss records started inching in the right direction. When Mike Levine took over in 2006, the prospects were bright. Now the assistant coach of the men’s team at Brown University, he started his coaching career at NHS with a young squad. In his first year, the team won just ten games. The second year, amidst high expectations, they slipped to nine wins. Levine tells the rest of the story. “In year three, we lost in the New England Championships to Kents Hill. In year four, we went back to the D2 Championship game and upset a very good and deep Hebron team.” To what does he attribute his success? “We were fortunate to attract some great kids whose focus was hockey. When I started
in year one, we had a couple of kids with hockey as their main sport, but for the most part kids were playing baseball and soccer and they looked at hockey as their secondary sport. In year four, I remember walking by the rink in September before the ice went down and hearing pucks ring off the glass. And I knew we had the year-round hockey players. That was fun, to participate in a kind of rebirth at a place that treated me as more than just a hockey coach.”
Culture beyond Hockey Culture
This attachment to the New Hampton School experience away from the rink is echoed in every interview. Despite going on to collegiate, international and professional success, many hockey alumni credit their time on campus as the most meaningful in their long careers. “I still tell my athletes now that I would take my four years at New Hampton over any Division I scholarship opportunities. And that’s not a shot at Maine, I loved my experience at Maine.” Cronin attributes her strong feelings to the boarding experience – constant access to coaches and teammates through academic and residential schedules develops unusually strong bonds. With that depth of commitment comes an openness to grow. She explains. “New Hampton pushed us more. They pushed us to be a part of every different walk of life: all the community service, the arts, the music. It was a lesson in culture too. We had girls from Japan and girls from California who were still learning how to play. I came from a really small town in Maine and there were a lot of things I hadn’t been exposed to yet. The team’s racial diversity brought us closer and even helped us succeed.” Shero echoes Cronin’s experience, “My roommate was from Atlanta, my classmates from all over the country. Before NHS, I didn’t know about colleges. I didn’t understand how many options there were. It was great preparation for St. Lawrence. Coach Marsh and Coach Trivett developed me as a player, but more importantly as a person.” Both Shero and Cronin remain adamant that the comprehensive growth – intellectual, emotional and physical – shaped them for future success by teaching them to collaborate. Cronin summarizes the experience with warmth. “Obviously we won championships at New Hampton, but it wasn’t because we had an all-star team. We won because we had really good coaching and our team bonded really well. The girls who were more elite worked really well with the girls who weren’t so elite. We had really good chemistry.”
“The Game’s Changed”
As with most sports seen as a pathway to college, specialization starts early now. In affluent commuter towns north of Manhattan, kids start league play as early as age four. Nine-year-olds on top tier squirt teams in New England will play sixty games a year. And elite high school players, rushing to an unlike-
ly place in the National Hockey League, forgo their senior years and sacrifice their NCAA eligibility for the heavily scouted Major Junior leagues of Canada. Eggleston ties the increased obsession for the sport by families in the States to the NHL’s growth from a six-team to twenty-two by 1981. “Back in my day, with flat stick blades, the game was played from the knees down. Now it’s like lacrosse. Prep school hockey was a school sport, with little recruiting. Then the NHL expanded. The additional teams meant, of course, additional roster spots, which made room for more Americans. The skating got better, kids started going to summer programs, the speed changed. It’s like a horse race on ice now, they don’t slow down.” To reach this level, players need to spend more time on the ice. With the hockey season seeping into fall and spring, kids specialize at early ages. A higher level of play follows naturally, but is balanced by some unintended drawbacks. Cronin sees it most starkly with the young skaters she coaches. As owner/operator of M-Power, the Toronto based youth athletic development company that focuses on female goaltenders she’s noticed a decline in general physical skills. “All of my kids com-
mit to their training early on. I train a lot of goalies and I have to teach these young girls how to catch. I bring tennis balls and literally teach them how to catch. They’re nine or ten and all they play is hockey goalie. Whereas I played shortstop and was a catcher, I threw a football around with my dad and brothers. My hand-eye and -foot coordination were naturally developed. I encourage kids to take little breaks from their number one sport and focus on other sports to develop their all-around athletic ability.”
An Emphasis on Balance
The prep system tacitly expects the students to play other sports in the fall and spring, run for student government and try out for the spring play or join the improv troupe. Prep hockey demands more of its athletes and that may well be its greatest strength. By charter, boarding schools are designed to develop complete human beings. New Hampton’s mission statement states explicitly the aim of the School: foster lifelong learners who serve as active global citizens. In the face of an overly-specialized world, NHS and prep hockey are fighting for the soul of the sport. Contined on page 58

Jacobson Moves Ahead CAMPUS TRANSFORMATION CONTINUES
At their January 2015 meeting, the Board of Trustees approved a motion to begin construction of the Jacobson Ice Arena in March 2016. The new facility will include spacious varsity locker rooms, offices for the coaches, a sunken ice surface for improved viewing angles, a heated spectator room, and bleachers. With construction costs rising year after year, a repair bill to the current Lindsay Arena looming in excess of $1 million, and an accelerated fundraising effort which pushed the early commitments to $3.5 million, the board felt confident in the timing. The $7 million project is scheduled to finish in advance of the 2016-2017 hockey season. To make room for the rink’s re-orientation (it will run parallel to Dr. Childs Road) Dow House will come offline. This summer, Moore House will be expanded and improved creating a net increase in student rooms. With Jacobson Arena, the School stamps a landmark building on the north side of campus to complement the addition of Pilalas Center for Math and Science and the restored Meservey Hall to Main Street, and the O’Connor House to the West Village.

“Education should be the first thing for these kids. A lot of kids and parents are in a hurry. The NHL will find the best players, especially if they’re from the States.” Eggleston is speaking of the perverse magnetism of the Major Junior leagues in Canada, but he could be speaking of over-specialization as well. While the standard of play is certainly high, buoyed by an increasingly international talent base, Major Junior hockey is an all-or-nothing move. Accepting pay for hockey scuttles the player’s chance of playing in the NCAA. If an athlete is injured, even in his first week, he cannot play college hockey, except in Canada. Some hardy Americans who find their careers ended by injury do return to Canadian universities and finish. But many, homesick before the injury, return to the States with greatly diminished academic options. Kesselring provides a touch of nuance to
Eggleston’s thoughts. “If you’re looking for just a hockey path, prep school isn’t right for you. We’re here to build better people. Hockey is an important part of that it. But the life experience of living on your own prepares you for your university and the work force. 99.9% of these kids are going to be working for a living. We’ll make them better hockey players, and they’ll get exposure to scouts. But you can’t put a price tag on the academic experience here: small classes and being prepared to perform in college. Shero affirms the sentiment emphatically. “People ask me all the time if their kid should go to college or play Junior hockey. I tell them I can’t make the decision for them, but if it were my son, he’d be going to college. Twenty years from now, nobody cares that you played Major Junior in Moncton. They want to know where you went to college.”
And Shero credits NHS for preparing him for success on the college ice, and in classroom. “The structure, the schedule, and study hall – we never had that growing up. There were too many distractions at home. At NHS I had so much direction from coaches and teachers. Not just Coach Marsh, but Tom Deal, my English teacher. He was one of the best teachers I ever had – so motivating, insightful. To be able to talk to the teachers at all hours of the day. The study habits, the academic motivation, that’s what you need for college.”
Saying Goodbye to Lindsay
Is there a downside to building Jacobson? The alumni certainly have an understandably strong attachment to Lindsay. Levine is concise in his praise. “It’s one of the best rinks ever.” Cronin is equally effusive. “I love that barn. I’ll be sad when it’s gone. Some of my favorite moments of my career are in that old rink.” Still, they both concede the logic of rebuilding. Levine in particular notes the human tendency to resist change but offers a historical perspective. “When most of the alumni played, the other schools skated on outdoor rinks too. Now all almost all of the schools have invested in building new facilities. If you’re going to be competitive during the decision process, if a kid goes to six different schools and they all have new rinks with nice lobbies and brand new locker rooms, and they come to NHS and they’re borderline getting frostbite, regardless of who’s coaching, the financial aid package, and the academic programs, they’re probably not coming here. Until that rink’s in place you’re going to struggle getting those elite kids.” Certainly from a recruiting standpoint, it will make the coaches’ jobs easier. Yet ignoring hockey for the moment, it will improve the aesthetics of campus. Just as the Academic Row and the West Village havs been transformed in the last decade with the addition of a math and science center in Pilalas Hall, a new student residence in O’Connor, and, most recently, a major renovation of Meservey Hall, so too would Jacobson enhance the look of Dr. Child’s Road. Could Jacobson provide a leapfrog effect, catapulting the current competitive teams into perennial contenders for New England Championships? Levine thinks so. “The teams that have the facilities are the teams that have success in prep school hockey, it’s plain and simple. If you get somebody there who understands the business – and I think you do, Casey and Church are excellent – I think the sky’s the limit.” Strong language but certainly possible. Does that provide a bit of unwanted pressure? Kesselring doesn’t overthink it. “Yes, of course there will be higher expectations from parents and from the school. But the things that made the program great don’t change with a new rink: hard work, sacrifice, dedication, teamwork. A new rink will help us honor that history of the sport at New Hampton and attract top talent.”

Michael Conforti ’64 in front of the Clark Art Museum in Williamstown, MA.
Conforti at the Clark is in a good mood. The Clark Art Museum, which he’s directed since 1994, has just been awarded the 2014 Museum Opening of the Year by the taste-setting international art magazine Apollo. To win, the Clark had to edge such prestigious competition as the Imperial War Museum in London, and the 18th Century Decorative Arts Galleries at the Musée du Louvre in Paris. After a recent trip to London to scoop up the award, Conforti is back in Williamstown, MA planning the Clark’s next coups: the arrival of two exclusive shows: Van Gogh and Nature in July to be followed by the arrival of the iconic “Arrangement in Grey and Black No. 1” (“Whistler’s Mother”) in August. Generously endowed by Robert Sterling Clark, an heir to the Singer sewing machine fortune, and his wife Francine, the MICHAEL CONFORTI ’64
Clark houses not only a world-class research institute, but also a stunning collection of Renaissance and 19th-century paintings. It is on the strength of this collection that the Clark draws such impressive works on loan from the top museums in the world. The Clark is an oddity. Its decidedly rural setting puts the museum in a lonely class of excellence – no subways, U-Bahns, Metros or Métros to whisk visitors to its doorstep. Yet while museums of similar stature routinely benefit from the built-in crowds of international cities, the Clark luxuriates in a sweeping campus of 140 acres set in the Berkshires’ undulating hills around Williamstown, MA. When the museum needed a redesign to accommodate its overstuffed galleries, it opted for a strategy few of its peers constrained by urban zoning and real
estate scarcity could match: expand out, not just up. For the design, Conforti and the board turned to master planners Cooper, Robertson & Partners, architects Tadao Ando and Associates from Osaka and Selldorf Architects of New York, as well as landscape designer Reed Hilderbrand. The team added special exhibition spaces; a 42,600-square foot Clark Center with more than 11,000 square feet of gallery space, conference, event and lecture pavilions; dining, retail and family spaces; and a renovated, 107,460-squarefoot Manton Research Center. The overhaul extended to the grounds as well with the addition of miles of walking trails, five bridges, reflecting pools and thousands of new trees.

H: Michael, congratulations! You must be pleased to have been entered against the Louvre and the War Imperial? MC: And the Mauritshuis in The Hague and the Aga Khan in Toronto! But considering all the other great openings in Britain and Europe that weren’t nominated, we did very well just to make the list. H: How does the Clark consistently punch above its weight? MC: It’s a series of loans you wouldn’t assume a small, western Massachusetts museum could participate with the largest, international museums. If we didn’t have the collection, they wouldn’t lend to us. H: This is a museum tucked out of the way. MC: People have to make an effort to come to us. 100,000 to 150,000 people will see it in July and August, and yet only 130,000 people live within a ninety minute drive. We rely on cultural tourism for visitor’s. H: You’re a remarkable resource for Williams College. MC: And we hope for the area. That same cultural tourist who visits us can also go see the Boston Symphony Orchestra at Tanglewood, plus the ten or so other museums in the area. It’s replaced the area’s old manufacturing industry as the economic base. H: How do you explain your success? MC: We’re a great collection in a small town. I’ve always thought of my time at New Hampton School as preparation. Watching Bud Moore organize a school in a small town with larger ambitions. That’s part and parcel of what I do. I strive to make the Clark recognizable on an international scale.

Also of interest : it was the first time Coach and former faculty member David Rice wore a suit to the game because we were supposed to crush Hebron but they just played us so hard it went down to the last few minutes, by which time David was down to his shirtsleeves and no tie. To put it mildly, he was a wreck at the end of the game. Those of us that had the good fortune of knowing him well can fondly recall what that was like !”

She brings a deft sense of heart, poeticism and innocence to a moment that could simply be regarded as “a dramatic challenge to a fight” in her 13min short, “Our Tough Guy.” The film examines the ringing echoes of a moment in a man’s life that continue to reverberate in a multitude of ways for the people affected by it. In the hearts of die hard Boston Bruins fans it remains as loud as an explosion, a summoning call to confidence for a city caught in social conflict; to fellow hockey players it is a near mythic show of solidarity rarely seen today; to the man himself it was a virtually insignificant. “Our Tough Guy” is a meditation on the meaning of a moment that etched the name John Wensink into the annals of NHL History.

Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.’ -Mark Twain Go get ‘em! Love, Taylor Lacaillade P.S.

FALL 2013 HAMPTONIA WINNER Mark Baron ’75
Congratulations to MARK BARON ’75, who correctly identified the production as Peter Pan, performed in the spring of 1975. Mark named most of the cast, himself included. He specifically recalled the performance pictured: “Liz Mahon, as Peter Pan, had just started flying across the stage, saying ‘I can fly…I can fly…’, and then the cable to her harness snapped and she plummeted down from about 10 feet up in the air. She crashed onto the stage behind the ship and limped through the rest of the show. Then a short time later, one of the pirates in the cast leaned on the ship mast, pictured next to Lois Dehls in the photo, and the entire mast crashed across the stage while all of us ran for cover. The show must go on, and we still pulled off a nice performance.”

Letter from the Chair Dear Friends, Thank you for yet another record breaking year! The books are closed on the 2013-2014 fiscal year with $2,419,414.91 received in gifts to New Hampton School. The NHS donor base has demonstrated its steadfast loyalty, allowing the school to exceed its fundraising goals once again this year. New Hampton School’s Annual Fund had a banner year, raising a grand total of $1,260,867. The generosity of the individuals highlighted throughout the following pages is the force behind an extraordinary growth of the Annual Fund over the past five years. 2013-14 was an exciting year as NHS officially opened a fully restored Meservey Hall. This $4.5M academic building has transformed the teaching spaces both for the History Department and the Academic Support Program. In addition to new teaching spaces, there is a new meeting space for campus wide use and a new office for the Dean of Faculty. Dedicated in October, the new Meservey has quickly become a beloved space to work, study and connect with fellow students and faculty. I would be remiss if I did not thank the countless volunteers who give so graciously of their energy, time and resources. From class agents, to reunion chairs, phonathon callers, to exam bake organizers, our school would not be the thriving community it is today without your commitment. From all of us at New Hampton School, I extend my deepest gratitude for caring and making New Hampton School a bit better each day. This Annual Report provides many details about the 2013–14 fiscal year, but most important are the names of our donors—the NHS family of alumni, parents, faculty, staff, grandparents, and friends who have given their time, talent and treasure to the school. Your support of the Annual Fund, endowment, capital projects, and gifts of time and energy, are all critical to help NHS Go Beyond. With a myriad of choices for your philanthropic dollars, I can’t tell you how grateful we are for your support, and how important it is for the future of this great school. Thank you for making New Hampton School a priority this year. Respectfully,
KARL KIMBALL ’74 Trustee and Chair, Advancement Committee

Letter from the Director of Advancement Thank you! The heart of a community can be found in the people who bring it to life. Here at New Hampton School, our community has pulled together once again to breathe life and treasure into this amazing institution. The school’s success draws from many quarters: from generous students, alumni, parents and friends. For this extraordinary support, we are grateful. New Hampton School’s students and faculty would not achieve their dreams without you, our loyal supporters. During the 2013-2014 fiscal year, the New Hampton School Annual Fund crossed its $1.2 million goal, once again 100% of the faculty and staff supported the School, and the Class of 2014 achieved 98% participation in their Senior Class Gift. We recognize that the success of New Hampton School depends on your investment and we are deeply grateful that you choose to make it a priority each year. We encourage everyone who has a connection to New Hampton School to dedicate time to our wonderful school. Volunteer to serve on your reunion committee, send in a class note, reconnect with old friends and faculty, and please invest in the School each year by giving back. The New Hampton School experience is better because of you. With great appreciation,
SANDY COLHOUN Director of Advancement

MICHAEL CONFORTI ‘64 “When I look back at the most important influences in my life, I realize that my New Hampton experience, the closeness of faculty and fellow students and the exceptional teaching the school is famous for, holds a very high place for me. New Hampton continues to attract students from all over the world, challenging and nurturing them at a most important time in their life, their high school years. This is what New Hampton does, this is why I support New Hampton.”

Being a student here was a life changing experience and I am a proud member of the Husky Nation! As a measure of thanks for a life filled with accomplishments made possible by my time here, I serve as a donor and Trustee. Commitment to New Hampton is a whole family commitment and promise.

From a Legacy Family THE CONKLING FAMILY
“Growing up in the town of New Hampton, surrounded by the New Hampton School has been a wonderful experience. In 1958, Bud Moore hired my dad as a math teacher, ski coach, JV football coach and track coach. My brothers and I attended the school along with other local friends. Today my daughter Madeline ‘17 and two nephews, Liam ’16 and Conor ‘18, attend NHS, and my brother Sam is on the faculty, continuing the legacy my father started. Therefore I fully support the Alumni Annual Fund and choose to make a gift to New Hampton School.” —JOHN “CAS” CONKLING ’82, P’17

From a Family Abroad THE TABATA FAMILY
“After the earthquake disaster in Japan in March 2011, we sent our son to New Hampton School. With limited English, he had a rough start; however, through his three years, the faculty supported us tremendously. We saw our son transform as he absorbed lessons and values through the challenges given in the classrooms and on the athletic fields. As he moves on to one of the most prestigious colleges in Japan this fall, we are confident that his unforgettable experiences with the New Hampton family have prepared him well for his college life and beyond.”

From a Staff Member KATHLEEN HOWE P’15
“I am starting my eighth year at New Hampton School and in thinking about why I give to the Annual Fund, the answers are many. I give because Connor has had so many varied experiences here & he is a very happy Class of 2015 member. I give to express my gratitude as an employee and to show my appreciation for other NHS faculty and staff. I give because I am fortunate to have the chance to contribute, in some small way, to the school’s positive impact on so many people.”

1821 Society The strength of New Hampton School’s future endowment depends in large part upon the foresight and support of those alumni, parents and friends who have chosen to include the school in their estate plans. The 1821 Society serves to acknowledge their confidence and vision. Members of the New Hampton School community who have established bequests, life income gifts and charitable trusts for the ultimate benefit of the school recognize the value of a New Hampton School education and their responsibility to help preserve the opportunity for future generations.

GEORGE WINLOCK ’61 arrived at New Hampton School as a junior and graduated two years later in 1961. He went on to Northeastern University before beginning a long and successful career as an accountant. He joined the 1821 society with a life insurance designation to the School. The generosity displayed by George has been shared by alumni, parents, and friends of the School who have made planned gifts and have thus been recognized as members of the 1821 Society. Whether it is a bequest, a life insurance designation, or a life income gift, you can help secure New Hampton’s future success. For more information on ways to support New Hampton School, please contact us. SANDY COLHOUN scolhoun@newhampton.org 603-677-3413 www.newhampton.org/giving
