During the fall of 2014, I spent hours helping to write, edit and polish scripts for school ceremonies. In the first two months, we held Convocation, dedicated the restored Meservey Hall, and inducted a new class into the Athletic Hall of Fame. Before each event, Andrew went line-by-line through forty pages of script, hunting first-person singular pronouns. In black ink he would cross out I, me, my and mine and replace them with their plural counterparts. His implied message, of course, was that nobody on a boarding school campus does anything without the buttressing of their colleagues. I thought he was being falsely modest. I offered a quick bit of sarcasm intended to acknowledge the considerable role he had played in bringing the decade-long campus building spree to life. He met my comment with a blank stare. I learned through this an implicit message about education: we serve the students as a team. The transformation of New Hampton School, of course, owes much credit to Andrew. If the School has blossomed under his leadership, it’s not down to luck. His work day begins very early in the morning; new administrators learn quickly that Andrew starts e-mailing at 5:00 AM. On many days, we spend a few minutes conversing digitally with Andrew before our spouses wake up. But for all the type-A work compulsion, he never loses his sense of humor, nor does he lose sight of the human nature of this business. He is constantly asking after sick family members, texting for updates on athletic results, and writing notes of thanks delivered to the recipient’s office with donuts.
Former English Department Chair Eric McCollom, contributing his second piece in as many years, shepherds a comprehensive look at Andrew Menke (page 40), the man and administrator. As part of the retrospective, Anna Menke ’12 contributes her thoughts on surviving and thriving as the Head of School’s daughter (page 44). Although the announcement was made as we were going to print, we had a quick chat with the incoming Head of School Joe Williams (page 21). From a home base in Los Angeles, and from locations around the continent, Molly Schiot ’98 describes making the transition from star athlete at NHS to plunging into the art world through the Glasgow School of Art and Brown University to forging a career in art and film direction (page 50). And finally, recent grad Griffin Hochstetter ’15 explains his lifelong pursuit of flying, and how coming to New Hampton enabled him to flourish as a student and a pilot (page 56). We are sad to lose Jennifer and Andrew to Utah, but safe in the knowledge that he leaves the School a better place.

FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL
HEADS UP
head’s up The Beginning of Goodbye My office sits on the southeast corner of Berry Hall, the same one that T. Holmes Moore occupied for more than thirty-five years. Most nights, I leave around 6:00pm. I close the old double hung windows, switch off the light, and pass through admission reception out into the hall with its majestic stairway. As I exit and descend, Berry’s granite steps echo under my feet and I’m reminded of Andrei Codrescu’s, “Nostalgia for Everything.” The author muses about the fickle memories that fade over time but resurface when prompted by our senses. I am starting to believe, when providence shines just right, as it has for me these last ten years, we might just be fortunate enough to miss everything about a place. Granite posts with white rails frame the campus green—the same fence that served as backdrop for an April family photo prior to our beginning here when Anna (NHS ’12) was eleven and Auden (NHS ’16) was eight. I have now, wistfully, begun the first lasts. The light dapples through Academic Row’s sentinel maples as it did that late October day in 2005 when Bud Moore installed me as the
twenty-second head of New Hampton School. I walk east from Berry and pass the newly restored Meservey Hall – a symbol of tradition and renewal. Next is the Pilalas Center, home to newly minted STEM courses and central to the delivery of the International Baccalaureate diploma program, while quiet now, will bustle with activity during our first Saturday classes. I turn inward, and smile at the happy chatter of students on a spectacular late September day. A group of freshmen is assembled near the husky statue, a faculty child delights at catching water bugs from the upper pond. As I approach the Moore Center, Alec from Pasadena, California says I look tired and I say I’m old. He says nonsense. “Mr. Menke, you’re a beast!” Late Friday is a good time for flattery. I laugh and walk on to the dining hall. Seemingly, at every turn, a nostalgic moment recalls one of a thousand small connections. From coding in math class to students endorsing the merits of service learning. From the startling magic of an erhu solo at School Meeting to David Fu leading the football team in “New Hampton, Fair New Hampton” after another football victory, from Wednesday morning meetings announcing 100%
faculty and staff support of the annual fund to a recent alumna praising the diversity and ethos of inclusivity at NHS, I cannot take more than a few strides on this campus without being called back into remembrance of the amazing alumni, faculty and staff, old and new, and all they have done for our school. This Hamptonia edition chronicles some of the amazing transformation over the last ten years. As we begin our 195th year, we’re excited to celebrate the extraordinary ways so many Husky faithful have supported our unprecedented health. The future is bright and the next exciting chapter waits to be written.

VIEQUES: 2015 Tackling the essential question of what makes for sustainable tourism led two teachers and fourteen students to Vieques, Puerto Rico during Project Week. Despite the setting of a tropical island with bright sun and clear skies, the group investigated serious issues. They examined the impact of plastic on the reef eco-system, the implications of local and foreign owned businesses, and even took a look at the legacy of the U.S. Navy’s training range. After such heavy academic lifting, the group still found time to enjoy the island’s beautiful water. FALL 2015 • HAMPTONIA 9

STUDENT ART
Ria Hardcastle ’16 Ali in the 90’s This grouping is a product of my IB Art HL 1 class. It came about after exploring my interest in 90’s television green screen transitions. I wanted to create a piece that expressed a similar mood that hinted at the 90’s era. The mediums I used were a combination of photography, glue, exacto blades, paint and photoshop. My friend Ali Hawk '16, helped me with this artwork by modeling. Overall I am really happy with the final result and I plan on using this piece in my portfolio.
FACULTY ART
Amy Wilson Rain on Lake Wicwas I created this print using the foam plate printing process developed and taught to me by Annette Mitchell while I was taking a graduate course in printmaking at PSU two summers ago. This particular location is dear to my heart. My goal was to create an evocative image with rich texture in every layer of the soft, monochromatic landscape. The light, color, textures, and wind patterns on Lake Wicwas are in constant flux. I welcome the soft, wet moments as well as the bright and sunny.

MAURA VEILLEUX Chemistry Teacher, Coach
Maura Veilleux arrived at NHS via Muhlenberg College where she received a B.S. in Biochemistry, and the University of Connecticut, where she earned a M.S. in Biochemistry for researching potential drugs targets in pathogenic bacteria. During her graduate degree tenure, Maura was a teaching assistant for Principles of Biology laboratories. Now in her sixth year, Maura teaches Biology, Chemistry and IB Chemistry. She coaches girls soccer and lacrosse, advises, and serves as a house parent in Caswell.
TWO TV SHOWS I DON’T WATCH (BUT USE TO TEACH CHEMISTRY)
TWO SEASONAL EVENTS I LIKE (AND USE TO TEACH BIOLOGY)
Breaking Bad, AMC The critical and popular hit (16 Emmy Awards) about a cancer-stricken high school chemistry teacher and a former student running a crystal meth outfit. My students are obsessed with it. At first, I thought they were trying to waste class time. Then I realized I really could teach chemistry through a discussion of which compounds could melt through a bath tub. The show sparks their curiosity, and I use that to explore chemical properties and reactions.
Foliage Day The students and faculty love this tradition because of the time spent away from the classroom, the hiking up Burleigh, the cook-out, the weather. I love all those things; but I also appreciate the opportunity to ask really basic but essential questions about our world. Why are leaves green? Why do they change color? And from there we can explore pigments, chlorophyll, and photosynthesis.
Bill Nye the Science Guy, PBS Kids By my second year of teaching, I realized how widespread the show was. All the kids know it. And if there’s a pause at the start of class, if the kids are hesitant, I just start singing (mimics a bass track) “Bill Nye the Science Guy,” and they’ll all start singing along. I don’t know much about the show, but that song is a great way to get the students to refocus.
Moose Season I take my students to moose check every October. It’s an entryway into population growth, and species health. We learn to track age through examining the teeth. The students begin to understand the role Fish and Game plays in protecting the species, while allowing for the tradition of the hunt to continue. We also talk about the nutrition in the meat and how some families use the animal to make it through the winter.

GLOBAL COMMUNITY
Ria Hardcastle ’16 H: Tell us about where you grew up. Ria: I was born in Dallas, Texas, and when I was six years old my parents, brother and I went on vacation to visit friends in Mexico. Those friends had kids who were going to a Waldorf school, and they were learning Spanish, and my parents, um, were pretty much sold. And a year later we had moved down to Mexico; sold everything in the US and ever since then, I’ve been living in Mexico. H: Which part? Ria: In central Mexico, in a town called San Miguel de Allende. H: San Miguel is famous for what? Ria: It is one of the most popular tourist points, other than the beaches in Baja. It has amazing Neo-gothic architecture, one of the most iconic cathedrals in Mexico. It’s a UNESCO World Heritage Site, so they’ve preserved a huge perimeter of the town. Cars aren’t allowed in certain areas, and the policemen still ride horses. It’s a very artistic community, galleries, international film festivals and art walks. H: So you moved down there when you were six, and started at a Waldorf School. Ria: Yes, bi-lingual. I was being taught half the day by a Canadian gymnast. H: (laughs) Ria: And then, the rest of the day, everything else was in Spanish. Some days math would be in Spanish; some days it would be in English, and they would really just kind of rotate the curriculum through the languages. H: Wait, were you taught gymnastics by the Canadian gymnast? Ria: (laughing) I was! We had a lot of students who were high-energy, and so sometimes she would just give up and say, “Let’s go outside and do some back flips! I’ll teach you how to break dance.” H: What do friends from NHS think of San Miguel? Ria: They’re pleasantly surprised by how independent you can be, 12 NEW HAMPTON SCHOOL • FALL 2015
because in the US, generally, you hit sixteen and you start driving a car and finding a job. But in my town it’s like you’re walking everywhere, all the time. And that gives you a ton of freedom. This may sound strange, but that’s how San Miguel is. You can go to the arcade and go bowling or to supermarket, or even volunteer. It’s all within walking distance. H: You’re thinking of college in the States or in Mexico? Ria: In the States. For sure. H: And do you have an idea of what you’ll major in? Ria: (immediately) Fashion design. H: And then what? Do you go to Milan? Paris? New York? Ria: That’s the dream. If I’m in New York for college I might stay in New York, but I want to definitely travel to Europe and maybe get a master’s there in in-depth, technical sewing. H: Technical sewing? Ria: Yes. Extremely technical.
colors. It seems boring, sometimes, to not have that much color in a design. H: A friend who’s a painter says that Americans are afraid of color. Ria: It’s true. I mean black looks great, but personally, I would want to live somewhere like Peru or India or Mexico where it’s just color everywhere. There’s this very small niche of fashion in Japan called Decora and it’s basically like if Hello Kitty just exploded-
and over. H: Do you have any intention of going back to Mexico to live? Ria: If one day I’m raising a family, I’ll definitely travel there with them. I don’t know if I would live there permanently. It’s a little slow-paced for me. It’s a bit different in Mexico City, but I like really a fast-paced kind of city environment. And Mexico’s a lot more laid-back. More like island time. H: Has it been a boost to have
“My favorite part of sewing is just sitting down for five hours straight and doing something with my hands.” H: What? Why does that interest you? Ria: (sighs) I think my favorite part of sewing is just sitting down for five hours straight and doing something with my hands. For example, like embroidery or beading, or just ruching fabric. I can do that forever and they’re really dying art forms. Fewer designers are doing haute couture and more people are doing, mainstream, fast fashion. So I definitely want to go back into the roots of fashion. That’s my interest and passion. H: Has Mexico influenced your sense of design? Ria: When you think of the cliché Mexican colors there’s, of course, the colors of the flag; but also just a bright pink with some purple undertones, or Frida Kahlo blue. That’s what I think of when I think of Mexico. Those colors always speak to me when I’m designing. The houses in my town are all painted with bright
H: (laughs) Ria: -on a person! It’s gone so far that they’ll cover their faces in those little plastic stickers that are meant for before you’ve pierced your ears. And the Hello Kitty band-aid across the nose. It’s just so expressive. In America it’s more about the brand. H: How did you get interested in haute couture? Ria: Um. (sighs) This is hard, because recently my whole, kind of approach on fast fashion has taken a 360 because I’m learning how much unethical labor goes into that type of commercial clothing. I don’t really want to go into a career that makes money off of people in Malaysia who aren’t getting paid well. And so if I want to go into fashion, and be successful doing really high-end, technical work, it really values the amount of time you put into it. Also, I like doing that. It’s more interesting than just like making t-shirts over
had this experience of starting in the States, being transplanted by your family, having to adjust to that? Ria: It wasn’t necessarily easy. I was home-schooled before Mexico. And so I’d never been in a context where I was surrounded by children and not by adults. The main reason why I came to New Hampton was to work on that. I was set apart from Mexicans, because I was not a native speaker. H: How was the transition, then, from Mexico to NHS? Ria: Much easier, I’m already very familiar with the culture. There is more understanding of helping people through the culture shock. And there’s a lot more people that are dual citizens or of bi-cultural backgrounds. So I definitely fit in here a lot better. H: We’re glad it worked out. Ria: Yeah! Me too. I’m really happy I came here.

VISITING VOICES
Major Alicia Burrows '00
Guest Speakers In a continuing effort to engage the students and faculty with insight from beyond our community, the guest speaker series brought a number of thoughtful presenters to campus. In January, Courtney Drew spoke to the teachers and students on gender identity and sensitivity. During faculty meetings in August, teenage behavior specialist Marcel Lebrun discussed adolescent responses to conflict, and defense mechanisms. Both presentations served as a platform for yearlong inquiry through School Life and Faculty Meeting programs.
CLASSROOM INNOVATION
Leadership: Ethical Literacy In the spring, students were introduced to the theories of ethical leadership, and applied the concepts of moral courage and ethics to case studies and experiences. Community leaders addressing the class regarding their personal experience in leadership included alumni Dr. Carolyn Crosby ’81, Leutrell Osborne ’79 and Honorable Thomas Motley ’72, Board Members Major Alicia Burrows ’00, Dr. Todd Horn and Honorable Alford Dempsey ’65, and New Hampshire Senator Kelly Ayotte.

EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING
Project Week
One of Justin Joslin’s directives is to help students create their own projects. The Director of Experiential Learning has seen the number of student-driven projects grow to thirteen for 2016. That provides spaces for half of the School at first glance, but Joslin notes the percentage is actually higher. “It doesn’t accoun for the existing projects that may or likely will go forward. If you just count the new projects, the numbers are much higher. We won’t know until final approval (of all projects), but we’re closing in on our goal of 100% student-generated ideas.” To celebrate the 2015 edition of the tradition, we highlight three projects: one on/ near-campus, and two off-campus. PROJECT ADVENTURE
SILVERSMITHING AND CERAMICS
Santa Cruz, CA Students traveled to the northern edge of spectacular Monterey Bay to explore what it takes to work in the adventure market in both the private and federal sectors. In addition to learning about adventure careers, the group studied the surrounding ecosystems of pristine redwood forests and coastal inlets.
New Hampton & Hanover, NH Students spent three days learning to hand-build, throw, sculpt, create sgraffito, and glaze ceramics with expert studio instruction, and left with several finished pieces. They then spent two days in a metalsmithing studio studying silver design, creating stackable rings, and setting gemstones in silver. GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP AND SUSTAINABILITY
Vieques, Puerto Rico How the people of beautiful but threatened lands shape a future for themselves, and what responsibility do global citizens have to serve them formed the essential question guiding the students who traveled to Vieques. Sustainable development and environmentally and socially responsible tourism focused their inquiry. Project Week will take place this year from March 7 to 12, 2016.

WORTHY OF WORDS
2015 O’CONNOR PRIZE
Dr. Chelsea Woodard took home the O’Hara Family Excellence in Teaching English Prize awarded annually at Baccalaureate. Woodard won on the strength of her ability to form connections with students. Dean of Faculty Dan Love lauded the third-year instructor for her, “desire to impart a love of literature. Her class discussions often entail pushing students to find deeper meaning in the texts they read and she has the rare ability to encourage students in such a way that they don’t want to disappoint her.” Woodard graduated from Union College, earned her MFA from Johns Hopkins University and a Ph.D. from the University of North Texas.
After four years of teaching history and economics, Harlan Dodson accepted the Ralph O’Connor Prize for Excellence in Teaching at Baccalaureate. The O’Connor Excellence in Teaching Prize, awarded by current students, acknowledges a teacher who, “sets the highest standards for his students while not abandoning them to their own resources.” Recipients have demonstrated, “a commitment to the student, the school and the art of teaching.” Along with his teaching responsibilities, Dodson served as an assistant football coach, assistant basketball coach, and advisor. A graduate of Williams College, he leaves NHS to join Salisbury School as a history instructor and the head basketball coach of the varsity boy’s program.

OFF AND RUNNING COLLEGE NEWS
Last year’s men’s varsity A basketball team sent seven players to NCAA Division 1 schools. Understandably, there is a range of talent in that group; not every student will start as a freshman at a high-major program. Tyler Lydon, now at Syracuse, AJ Turner, now at BC, and Max Rothschild, now at Penn, were close friends on and off the court. From different backgrounds, they bonded by sharing the extra responsibilities of such a demanding team. To their credit, and the credit of the School’s inclusive culture, they never looked to avoid the normal social and academic commitments. We sat down with them a few weeks before commencement to gauge their thoughts on leaving high school and starting with a noticeably higher level of pressure than most college first-year students. 18 NEW HAMPTON SCHOOL • FALL 2015
HAMPTONIA: WHEN DO YOU LEAVE FOR COLLEGE? TYLER:
I leave Tuesday, May 12th.
H: WHY SO EARLY? TYLER: There
are two summer sessions at Syracuse. I’m going to go up a day before, move into an apartment, then start summer classes and work outs. It’s basically just to get yourself ahead, start working out in the weight room and playing with the team.
H: ARE YOU WITH COACHES? TYLER: Yes. I’ll have class Monday, Wednesday, Thursday. I’ll work out in the morning, go to class, then play pick up with the guys and then every day that I don’t have class I’ll end up working out too with the coaches. H: AJ, WHAT’S YOUR SCHEDULE AT BC?
I begin classes May 12th which is a Tuesday. That’s next week. AJ: Yeah I’m leaving New Hampton Sunday, in two days, and I’ll be headed right to Boston.
MAX:
I leave August 20th.
H: THE IVY LEAGUE IS DIFFERENT?
Because we don’t have scholarships they can’t require you to be there in the summer. I’m going to head to Philly; Mike Auger (NHS ’14) has an apartment and he’s going to let me stay there. It’s not like with these two guys where you go and they put you in an apartment. We find a place to stay and you work out with the team. You can lift with the strength coach in the summer. You work out and then you play with other guys in Philly. A bunch of the schools in Philly have pick up games. Drexel is two blocks away. Villanova is twenty minutes away. Saint Joe’s is on the edge of the city. They’re all pretty close range and you just play pick up and work out by yourself.
MAX:
AJ:
H: OKAY, BE HONEST HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT START-
H:
ING COLLEGE IN MAY?
TYLER: No, we are. I think we both come back Thursday.
TYLER: If you asked me this a month ago, I would’ve said I’m real excited but I’m at the point where I’m pretty nervous to see what the competition is like. To be out there playing with the guys and being around the coaches. I feel like it’s going to be a totally different atmosphere than here at NHS.
H: DID THE SCHOOL INSIST, OR DID YOU WANT TO BE A
H: WHAT DOES DIFFERENT MEAN?
PART OF YOUR OWN GRADUATION?
TYLER: Here it’s smaller. We have a good sense of community. When you go to Syracuse you’re just on your own. Everything is laid out very well for us, I’m sure the basketball program is going to have
H: NEITHER OF YOU ARE WALKING DURING COMMENCEMENT?
Yeah we did. TYLER: Definitely. AJ:
H: MAX, WHAT’S HAPPENING WITH YOU?
SPORTS WRAP-UP
a pretty tight schedule for me. But college...it’s going to be much bigger. H: WHEN YOU SAID “NERVOUS” AJ AND MAX NODDED THEIR HEADS. ARE YOU NERVOUS ABOUT COMPETING AT THIS NEXT LEVEL? TYLER: That’s the main thing that runs through my mind. Coaches tell me I’ll play a lot, but I don’t know if that’s just them saying something I want to hear. You just have a bunch of people in your ear all the time saying what they think and you’re kind of just nervous to see for yourself what actually is going to happen. H: DO YOU HAVE TEAMMATES WHO HAVE PEOPLE WHISPERING IN THEIR EAR SOMETHING THAT ISN’T COMPLETELY POSITIVE? IS ANYONE SAYING “YOU SHOULDN’T GO TO THAT SCHOOL; YOU COULDN’T PLAY THERE”? TYLER: It happens all the time. Nobody here. We get nothing but positive help from our coaches and teachers. But in the basketball world outside of New Hampton, everyone has their own opinion. Where they think you should go and what they think is the right fit for you. H: NOW YOU’RE GOING TO GO OUT AND SEE IF WHAT THEY WERE TELLING YOU IS THE TRUTH. TYLER:
Yep.
it. We’ve just got to prove them wrong. MAX: I’ve talked to Mike (Auger) about it, but I think I know what I’m going into, to be honest. I’ve gone to schools my whole life that have been pretty good academically. People ask me if I’m nervous about failing classes and stuff, and I’m not worried about it. I thought one of the results of coming here that really helped me was just confidence in my ability academically and athletically. Here, if you do well, people will boost you up. The teachers give you confidence. I’m excited to go. I’m definitely going to go for four years because first of all, not a lot of people go to the NBA from the Ivy League. Second off, a degree from Penn will help me find jobs where maybe I could end up making just as much money as somebody that would go to the NBA. I’m not (dismissing) the NBA idea, I’d love to go to the NBA.
HEADLINES
I stay to Syracuse for all four years, and graduate with a diploma and go to the NBA, that would be awesome. If I don’t make it to the NBA and I get a diploma, I would think that it would give me a pretty good job. Something that I can start a family off with. H: WHAT DOES HAVING A DIPLOMA FROM BC DO FOR YOU?
I think it opens up a lot of avenues. Like Tyler said, something to fall back on, but also I’ll be the first one in my family to go to college and get a degree. It’s more than just getting it. I think there’s more value to it because no one in my family’s ever done it. I have little sisters who look up to me. Showing them that I played basketball and I got my degree, I just think I’ll be a good role model for them.

H: HOW DOES THAT MAKE YOU FEEL?
I’ve dealt with a few of those people. I don’t know if it’s the same in New York or Chicago, but I know that in Michigan, in Detroit especially, there’s not a lot of positive energy being given to the youth. The kids playing basketball, there’s just a bunch of hate and jealousy going around. Even the adults don’t really want to see kids make it. They

I think it didn’t put any pressure on me. It made me more excited to play and to work. Just to see how Noah went to New Hampton, went to Division 1 and now he’s in the NBA. If anything it made me want it more. It made me think I can do it too.

H: SO IS IT STILL FUN TO PLAY BASKETBALL?
always try to tell them negative things to not let them get confidence. Just tell them, “you’re not that good, you’ll never play there, your just going to go there and sit all four years and nothing is going to come out of it.” I just think now that it’s coming we just have to embrace it and just work hard and remember all those people who said we couldn’t do
TYLER: I play basketball because I love basketball. I’m self motivated so I just want to keep seeing how good I can get. Just to play against the best guys. To prove to myself that I can do it, and to the people that said that I couldn’t. I think that’s the reason that I want to play in the NBA.
Yeah, she reads a lot. (AJ and Tyler laugh.)
Their goals are in the NBA which is awesome. That’s what they love. I love basketball... (reconsiders) I don’t know if I love basketball. I like basketball, but my goal is to do what I love. I don’t know what that is yet. I think Penn will give me that opportunity to find out. Would I go play overseas, yeah. Honestly I’d be more excited to just go overseas than just to play basketball overseas. I don’t care what I end up doing as long as it’s something that I love. I think Penn is just going to be a whole new world of options. Even just coming here, which is like a smaller version of college, I’ve made connections that I’m going to use the rest of my life. I’ve made lifelong friendships here and I’ve learned so much just from studying other people and what they do. There are young people here who look out for themselves. I study that, see if I want to do it for myself. Not even just teachers but like these guys. These guys worked so hard at basketball and I want to work with them too because I want to go as far as I can. I just try to learn every day. It’s really fun. I’m having fun now just being here and I’m excited to go to Penn.
H: WHAT DOES HAVING A DIPLOMA FROM SYRACUSE DO FOR YOU? TYLER: I think it gives me a plan to fall back on if the NBA doesn’t work out or even if it does. If FALL 2015 • HAMPTONIA 19

A NEW HEAD OF SCHOOL Joe Williams
Joe and Eileen Williams with their sons Cooper, Charlie, and Tucker, and their daughter Carter
A Quick Conversation to Welcome Joe and Family What prompted your interest in education?
I have always been drawn to the power of close-knit communities and the rewards that come from witnessing the growth of young people. This isn’t to say that I always knew I would work in schools, but as my professional career began, it became evident that boarding schools were where I was meant to be.
Your father was Headmaster at Lawrence Academy. Can you describe your childhood on campus?
No one had a better playground at their disposal, more big brothers to idolize, or sisters to admire than me. Growing up on a boarding school campus was a special experience that influenced and motivated me in so many positive ways.
What were the greatest challenges/successes at KUA?
It has always been hard working with students through disciplinary challenges given the disruption that can be caused to a young person and their family. However, these situations often resulted in the development of some very strong relationships. I am proud of the work we have done to develop the whole child through our leadership curriculum and social programs that pro-actively address the adolescent issues our students are wrestling with on a daily basis.
Hampton from afar. I have admired the spirit and grit of the athletic teams and the willingness of the community to make innovative decisions. As I got to know the people, programs and community more deeply I felt increasingly drawn to the position.
What are your priorities for your first year at NHS?
I am excited to learn more about what truly makes Husky Nation tick, both on campus, across the country and around the globe. With increased knowledge of the unique strengths of the institution we can identify the opportunities to build on the positive momentum developed under Andrew Menke’s leadership.
What are your travel plans for next year?
Having spent time on campus with students, faculty, and staff, I am anxious to get on the road to meet with parents, alumni and friends. We are working on a summer trip to Asia and before that I’ll be in NYC and DC. I am looking forward to meeting as many of the alums as I can.
Why were you interested in the Head of School position at NHS? Being at a peer Lakes Region school I have been fortunate to observe New

commencement 2015 Trustee Carl Liebert P’10, ’12, ’15 noted the seniors were poised for success because of their ability to embrace difference.
For the first time in four years, commencement exercises took place outside on the lawn in front of Meservey Hall. Under clear skies and cooled by a light breeze, the 194th graduating class celebrated their New Hampton careers. Liebert encouraged the graduates to be students of the game, serve others, and live boldly. Resilience, he opined, comes from taking chances, failing, and bouncing back from setbacks. Heroes need not perform life saving acts in the face of mortal danger. Liebert reminded the class that they had already acted heroically by giving back to others through service learning. Quoting Emmanuel Kant, he ended the address by asserting that
the grads could predict their futures only by inventing them. Valedictorian Siqi Wang thrilled the audience with a fabulous speech which combined the lyrics of Eminem with an honest but kind look at race and diversity in her class. Georgy Shukaylo accepted the Meservey Medal for contributions to academics, athletics, international student life, and his consistent drive to learn and teach. The class ended their time at NHS with a walk through the faculty line that alternated between tearful and joyous.

The Love Family Amy Sedestrom and Dan Love have played multiple roles in the academic transformation at New Hampton. This fall, Amy leaves the ASP and NHS for a new role teaching first grade at the local Sant Bani School, while Dan starts his sixth year as Dean of Faculty and his ninth at NHS. They live in Gables with their two sons Gus and Gordon.
How did you land at New Hampton? DL: Like everyone, we came to New Hampton via Mexico City. (Amy laughs.) Before
that, we met while we were both teaching at the American School in Milan. Shortly after meeting we got married. We had our first son in Italy. We then moved to Mexico City, and I continued teaching, and we continued having children. I had a head of school who suggested New England boarding schools, for our family. I sat down with Andrew Menke and Jen Berry at a Carney Sandoe recruiting conference. We visited campus in February. AS: It was beautiful. I saw that row of high chairs in the dining hall, and thought, I found my people. DL: She cried. AS: White picket fences! DL: I had to remind her that I hadn’t been offered the job yet. But when they did, before we could decide, I had to lead a group from Mexico City to a Model UN conference in China. Landing in Beijing, I called Amy to discuss the move. AS: Not even though. We had this life changing conversation over dial-up internet. DL: (laughs) So I signed the contract in the Holiday Inn in Beijing.
It seems so romantic to meet, marry, start a family and work abroad. Were there challenges? AS: (immediately) Yes. We would not have water for a while or the lights would go
out randomly. Laundry on the roof, trying to get it down before the rain with two small children... DL: That’s offset by some really powerful memories.
And then you land on Main St. with the white picket fences? DL: And we landed in Rice. We were astounded by the living space. AS: “The water always works!” DL: “Living in America is easy!” AS: And Dan did house duty in Rice for the first year, and then he became AOD
(Administrator on Duty) and I did house duty because I wanted to be a little more involved. And get out of the house a little bit. And then again when we moved to Galletly. From underclassmen girls to upperclassmen boys. I learned a lot about South Park that year.
Dan, what was your first job here? DL: I was a history teacher, mountain bike and alpine skiing coach, and house parent
and advisor. In October of my first year, Andrew asked me to apply for the new Global Curriculum Coordinator position. I understood Andrew’s vision for a more global school that really started with the academic side. Part of that would be to implement the IB, which I felt I could help explain to parents, and students, and faculty. And that started the next summer.
But you kept teaching, and still teach one section even as Dean. DL: I see myself as a teacher. It’s just the best part of my day, talking to an exception-
al group of juniors in Theory of Knowledge.
And now, Amy, you’re off to Sant Bani? AS: I did fourteen years in the elementary classroom. It’s where my training is. And
it just made sense for our family, having one of us on their schedule (both of the Love boys attend Sant Bani).
How have your kids done at NHS? AS: They are now going into the fourth and sixth grades. They moved here when they
were one and three. DL: Gus has not missed a musical performance, a play or an art gallery opening. Gordon loves that there are sports here, especially lacrosse and soccer. He loves that there are bowls of cookies at the soccer games. They’ve become two very different individuals, but both are accepted by the faculty and the students.

STUDENT PROFILE
student profile MUHAMMAD AHMAD ’16 ISLAMABAD, PAKISTAN YEARS AT NHS: 2
Last fall, Muhammad Ahmad brought a quiet confidence to campus that his peers were quick to respect. He was elected student body president after only one year at NHS, in part on the strength of his guileless manner, and a laser sharp election speech. Along with IB classes, acting in the winter play, and captaining the varsity soccer team, he serves as a tireless proctor, and runs the show during the student portion of School Meeting. We sat down with Moh at the end of his junior year. H: So you’re the new president? How’d that come about? MA: I wanted to run for it since I came here and I saw what Fu and Graeme (201415 student body president and vice president) were doing and I made my decision to run actually in January. I wrote my speech in March...I was just determined to do it and I ran and it worked out. H: People talked about your speech. MA: I just love writing speeches in general. I’m a speech person. I like playing with words and public speaking. Those are two things I really love doing. When you’re writing a speech you have to really combine humor and seriousness and you really need to pay attention to who your audience is. H: How was soccer season? MA: Soccer was great, for two reasons. Obviously the physical aspect of it makes you a fitter athlete, and it makes you a better soccer player, but for me it was also the mental aspect. Because I was new to the school soccer was really my outlet towards other people, towards faculty, towards the coach, towards a bunch of students. Soccer players, as I said in my speech, they kind of became like my brothers. We had a very close bond and connection and that really helped me just get into the school socially. H: Are there other ways than sports to connect? MA: Sports were definitely what helped when I first came here, but obviously there are a lot of different aspects about this place. I’ve noticed it’s basically what you make of it. So as you come as a new student you can choose to just sit in your dorm and you can choose that path, or you can choose to get out and talk to people. So playing soccer in the fall helped me and then obviously doing the winter play and then going to Model UN. All these different activities really helped, and then it’s also the engagement in the classroom with your teachers, and then what you do at lunchtime. If you sit at the same table every time, obviously you’re going to know a small group of people. If you keep moving around and talking to everyone that’s really how you get to know everyone. H: Where have you lived? MA: I was born in Australia. I lived there for five years, longest time I’ve ever lived in one place. Then I moved to Dubai for a year, then I moved to Tanzania for four years, then I moved to Cairo for four years, then I moved back home to Islamabad for two years, and then I’m here. H: How does a Pakistani who was born and raised in Australia, two of the most cricket crazy countries on the planet, end up playing soccer? 38 NEW HAMPTON SCHOOL • FALL 2015
MA: Cricket used to be my main sport back home, but the thing is that the only places I’ve lived in that played cricket really are Australia and Pakistan. Soccer is everywhere. H: Where do you see yourself after college? MA: I’m considering going back home, because honestly the major problem there is that all the educated people just live abroad and they don’t have anything to do with Pakistan. But I want to go back and try to make it better because what is the point if you’re getting the education? What are you going to do with that? You can either help yourself or your family or you can do something for the people there. I love the country but I feel like it has a lot of potential, and if the right people are there to have a say it can go far. H: Classic brain drain? MA: Brain drain, exactly. That’s exactly what it is. H: What’s the cause of it? MA: It’s just people who get a lot of money or who get really educated they don’t want to spend their time in the country because there’s not enough opportunities for them there. H: So it’s just financial? MA: Yeah, mostly. It’s also the government, they don’t play their role in providing those opportunities. Even in terms of sports, like if you look at our soccer team, it’s not even known because the government spends no time financing it. The young players, the under nineteen team, under sixteen team, those guys are unreal. I’ve seen some of them play and they’re incredible, but none of them will be professional soccer players. None of them will continue to play soccer because there’s not enough financing, there’s not enough equipment. H: Why did you choose NHS? MA: IB was a major part of the decision to come here. Looking at other prep schools here, the boarding schools especially because I needed to be a boarder, there was not many that offered full IB and boarding school. H: There’s great value in the diploma alone, but do you see it as a stepping stone to a certain college? MA: The merit of doing full IB is not really just getting the diploma, but it’s the process of full IB. Full IB teaches you how to manage your time, it teaches you a good work ethic, it teaches you that you really need to be a balanced student because of CAS, Community Action & Service. So it teaches you balance essentially, you can’t be too oriented into athletics and you can’t be too oriented into your work.

McShane being drenched in celebration of another national championship.
HAMPTONIA: MIKE, WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING SINCE YOU LEFT NHS? MIKE MCSHANE: Well I first had an assistant job at
Dartmouth College. I certainly learned quite a bit there. We went to the Final Four in the Ivy League championship two years in a row. After that I got the head coaching job at St. Lawrence. And I stayed there for five years and then I took the Providence College job. Then I worked for the Ottawa Senators for a year, doing some scouting and some consulting. And then I thought I was going to go into the rink building business, I wanted to make some money, (laughs) but I ended up here at Norwich. We’ve won three national championships, we’ve won our regular season championships seventeen years in a row. And I’ve been very fortunate to have a lot of good assistants and players and support. H: WHAT DO YOU LIKE ABOUT THE JOB? MM: Ah well, I like the competition, I like the
challenge. I like the comradery of working with young people and watching them grow. And, I think a coach feels like he played a little bit of a role in that success and you can see it. With a lot of jobs sometimes you know you’re making a buck but you’re not making a difference in people’s lives. But I think in coaching there are great rewards if you can handle the pressure, handle the teams, handle the success and the pressure to keep winning that success brings. If you have the type of personality that can handle that and you’re a good teacher and you’re a good motivator and a leader it’s a great profession. H: WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNED ABOUT EDUCATION? MM: I may go back to teaching as a matter of fact.
I’m thinking about doing a leadership course up here. I was asked if I would speak at a seminar on it. I think education and being in an atmosphere of education is very healthy. You’ve got young people you’re dealing with. When you’ve got people who
want to learn, and improve on themselves big changes can happen. Like the experience of four years in college or in prep school. Prep school’s an incredibly great experience. I went to prep school for a couple of years and I taught in it for six years, so, I love the experience of going to a private school and the comradery, and the closeness and the dedication of the teachers and the administrators. I think a kid is very, very lucky if he can have that experience.
H: ANY SPECIFIC STORIES ABOUT NHS THAT YOU RETELL? MM: I can remember one time we were playing a
game and a player named Mike Van Schaack didn’t show up. So I’m watching the game and all the sudden I look beside me and there’s Mike standing there with his gloves and hat watching the game. I said, “What are you doing?” He goes, “Isn’t this the JV game? Aren’t we playing tonight?” We had about ten feet of snow on top of the shed so I said, “Get up there and shovel that thing off and I’ll tell you when to come down.” So we win the game and I forget all about Mike and I went home, had dinner, and then I came back out to the JV game. Louie Gnerre came by and said, “What did Mike do?” I said, “What are you talking about?” He goes, “He’s still up on the shed shoveling snow.” I forgot all about him. So I got on a ladder, climbed up there. He didn’t have a shirt on he was sweating so much. I liked the kid, he didn’t quit, but Louie got a laugh out of that one. H: WHAT IS YOUR FONDEST MEMORY OF NEW HAMPTON? MM: Some of the great wins; on the outdoor rink
we beat Harvard one night in overtime. It was snowing, I called a time out and shoveled the ice off and Riley had a good shot and we won the game. Harvard never came up again.

2005-2016 ANDREW MENKE’S JOURNEY AT NEW HAMPTON SCHOOL
40 NEW HAMPTON SCHOOL • FALL 2015
FALL 2015 • HAMPTONIA 41
Some times, the most impressive of legacies can begin in the most unexpected places. The year is 1985, and a graduate of nearby Towson University is grinding out his work days in a sales office at the Baltimore-Washington International Airport selling cargo space for Pilot Air Freight, a domestic and international shipping company. An effective, if uninspired, young salesman, Andrew Menke is antsy. He is many things - the son of a kindergarten teacher and a business man with an entrepreneurial spirit, the nephew of an influential lifelong public school educator, a former college football player with a balky lower back, a former English major with an uncertain future - but a shipping salesman he feels he is not. However, what he is Menke is not certain. “I found that air freight job looking in The Baltimore Sun wanted ads, circling stuff. I was waiting on tables as I was finishing college and trying to pay my rent. But for me, it just felt like there was something else that I wanted to do.” And, after a little over a year at his first post-college job, Andrew Menke was off to Newfound Lake in New Hampshire to crash at his mother’s lake house in Bridgewater and plot his next step. Pilot Air Freight never knew what it had. For most who know or have worked with Menke during his remarkable ten-year tenure as New Hampton School’s Head of School, this vision of an uncertain 20-something drifting between jobs is a massive cognitive disconnect. Known around campus for his limitless drive, his passionate devotion to his school, and his thoughtful adherence to structure and organization, Menke exudes comfortable control at every step. Always gregarious and engaging in conversation, Menke is still a firm believer in order. He is rarely spotted in professional settings without his trusty yellow notepad, cataloging brainstorms, reflections, and building his forever-lengthy to-do lists. He is a planner, a goal setter, and constantly considering the best next step for his institution. These days, Menke seems so well suited for his role as the leader of an
independent school, it’s hard to imagine he didn’t immediately see it in himself. Upon reflection and with the benefit of time, however, Menke believes he did start cultivating something in that first role in sales. “Despite the fact I realized that [sales] was not the work I wanted to be doing, I think it really taught me some very important lessons about perseverance, and how to put the time in and build relationships, some of the skills I think are pretty important to the work I have done in schools since that time.” After departing his sales job, Menke initially arrived at his mother’s part-time residence along the shores of Newfound Lake clear only in the idea he wanted a change of scenario. Having lived just outside the Baltimore/Washington D.C. hub in Barnesville, MD, for much of his youth, and attended Poolesville Public High School before Towson, Menke had had his fill of the mid-Atlantic for the time being. Fittingly, it would be here in the Lakes Region that Menke would slowly settle onto a career track focused on education, although he certainly had to pay his dues in that first stop in central New Hampshire. “My introduction to teaching and coaching was through substitute teaching at Newfound Memorial High School,” recalls Menke. “I was a fulltime substitute, so seemingly every single day I was called in to work basically a full day, and my first coaching stint was coaching girls JV basketball at the high school.” After two years of subbing, coaching, and filling in the blanks, Menke parlayed his experience in Bristol into a faculty position as an English teacher, coach, and dorm parent at Maine’s PG-only, all-boys Bridgton Academy. There, he cut his teeth with the boarding school experience for the first time. “I had been very aware of independent schools in the D.C. area,” says Menke, “but I was not very informed about boarding schools, strangely enough since I’ve now spent nearly my entire career in three of them.” The relationship-building opportunities of the educational setting had always intrigued Menke even from a distance as a high school and college student, an interest that he believes his uncle Pete’s profession as an athletic director and teacher in Maryland helped spur, and he was finding the boarding experience allowed all the more
AN ONGOING EVOLUTION Ask around the New Hampton School campus what the most significant change that has occurred during Andrew Menke’s tenure as Head of School, and you will inevitably receive a multitude of answers. From the physical plant to the curriculum, visitors to campus may find the place nearly unrecognizable if a decade or more has passed since their last visit. As for Menke himself, he is typically not one to ponder his own accomplishments. Always hesitant to claim individual credit for team efforts, and forever looking forward instead of back, Menke gives careful consideration when pondering the following recent shifts and accomplishments of which he is most proud. 42 NEW HAMPTON SCHOOL • FALL 2015
access points to the students with whom he was working. Often one to downplay his own role in fortunate events, Menke insists he was mostly in the right place at the right time at Bridgton when the Director of Admissions role opened a few years later, failing to highlight the fact that he was spending treasured free time in the spring and summer working in the admissions office already. After a similar opportunity opened in the development office at Bridgton three years after Menke’s rise to Director of Admissions, Menke also gained valuable experience on the financial side of the operation as Bridgton’s Director of Development. While the seven years he spent at Bridgton were certainly the springboard to his career in education, Menke was not quite ready to put down professional roots just yet. He had met his now-wife Jennifer on a blind date with friends in Maine and a joint cross-country adventure culminating in camping at Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks introduced the couple to the western United States. “When we came back [to Maine] from that trip, we both said it would be really fantastic if at some point we could live in the West,” says Menke. “I had grown up on the East Coast, Jennifer had grown up on the East Coast, so in 1994, I started looking and found this really interesting looking school, the Colorado Rocky Mountain School in Carbondale, Colorado.”
says. “It wasn’t because I was dissatisfied with anything - I loved coming to work - I just wondered all along if this was the path that was meant for me, or if there was something else that would capture my attention and imagination at some point. I had no idea what it would be. It wasn’t as if I said, ‘I ought to fill-in-the-bank…’ or go to architectural school or start a business or something specific like that. It wasn’t that. In some ways, I just kept putting one foot in front of the other and there were opportunities.” In 2004-05, New Hampton School was ripe with such opportunity, and the tug of family on the East Coast led the Menkes, now numbered four with the additions of daughter Anna and son Auden, on a collision course with New Hampton. Andrew was somewhat familiar with New Hampton thanks to athletic match-ups while coaching at Bridgton, and he knew the area from his previous stint living in the Lakes Region. “I had spent a little time on campus when I was living here initially,” recalls Andrew. “I have this vague recollection of playing tennis on what is now the [New Hampton] hard courts, but were clay at the time, with Bud and Jinga [Moore]. And I remember going to a hockey game or two in that rink, as it exists now, freezing the whole time!”

The opportunity to experience the West full time came quickly. Menke was offered the position of Director of Admissions at CRMS and took the job in the summer of 1995. Four years later, he was named Interim Head of School, then took over the Head role for the next six years. It was during this tenure as Head of School at CRMS that Menke finally became fully comfortable with his career path. “I would say that I did not fully embrace or acknowledge in my own mind that schools would be my career until probably two or three years after I became a Head in Colorado,” he

Kitchen Counter Companion By Anna Menke '12
High school is a time to learn about calculus, world history, independence, and oneself. It’s a time to make friends, have crushes, change your hair, buy cool shoes, wait for summer, write some papers, master the Pythagorean Theorem, and read a few books. But for me, high school came intertwined with another layer of complication. Like many of my peers, I spent my evenings hunched over homework for the next day. However, as I sat struggling to grasp the art of solving logarithmic equations, the intricacy of the metaphors embedded within To Kill A Mockingbird, or the sequence of the Krebs’s Cycle, I had rather unusual company. At the end of every day, I found myself conducting my studies just one chair away from none other than the head of New Hampton School. The expla-
44 NEW HAMPTON SCHOOL • FALL 2015
nation for the head of school’s consistent presence in my home is not complicated nor is it mysterious, despite the great lengths I went in my tenure at NHS to make it so. On the contrary, the explanation is quite simple: as our uncanny resemblance gives away, that very same headmaster is, in fact, my dad. Every evening, after long days of class, sports practice, and avoiding my dad in the dining hall, I walked up Dr. Childs Road to return home to my yellow kitchen, seated myself at our high-top counter in one of our white spinning chairs, and got to work next to Andrew Menke. He did not have to ask how my day was because he already knew; he had been there. Every night without fail, we found ourselves side by side, hunched over our respective work for the evening.
Some nights he was cranky, and nagged me every time he saw me instant messaging my friends. “It’s study hall, Anna! Stop talking to Jackie and Erin!” Other nights, he was hungry and devoured entire jars of peanuts, justifying the quantity by notifying me that they were on his “belly-fat program.” Every night, binge eating peanuts or not, he was there with me, just as he was for all the monumental moments of my high school career. Inevitably, the defining moments of every high school career are laced with a certain amount of embarrassment. My dad was there and maybe even responsible for a few of those, too. It seems to me that my time in high school came endowed with, perhaps, slightly more than the average share of embarrassing moments. In one
memorable school assembly, my dad lay flat on the floor of the NHS auditorium and addressed the entire student body in a whisper. I found myself doomed to spend the rest of the day fielding questions about the meaning of that rather unconventional speech. Did he practice it at home? Why did he do that? Was he crazy? Did he always lie flat on his back and whisper when he wanted to make a point? I eventually defaulted to ensuring everyone that I, too, found the man to be quite off-his-rocker. On another embarrassment-inducing occasion, at a pep rally for Powder Keg, our rivalry day with Tilton School, my dad ripped off his button down shirt and threw it into the awestruck student body to, as he said, “get the kids fired up.” I spent the rest of the day with my face “fired up,” blushing
and speechless, as every boy who happened to be wearing a button-down shirt proceeded to mimic my dad’s signature shirt-shattering move when they saw me passing by. As much as these moments caused my face to flush then, when I reflect upon them now, they pull a smile across my face. Whether I am thinking back to completing homework assignments, school meetings, or sporting events, the most vivid and meaningful memories of my four wonderful years at NHS are not as much of my time in high school as they are of ours. I remember visiting his office on hard days to eat a Snickers from his candy jar and sit in comfortable silence with him, the way some high school girls might have found solace in a locker room with their best
friend. I remember looking across the room at prom, catching my dad’s oh-so-watchful eye and feeling as though all was as it should be (although I cannot confirm that my prom date felt similarly.) In those innumerable evenings at our kitchen counter, as I fumbled through the various subjects that we all expect to learn in high school, I learned something slightly unexpected as well: my dad not only ran the school I attended, but simultaneously served as an invaluable companion to me. I am quite certain that I could not have survived high school without him.

was founded in 1821, but in some ways it was comparable to a start up [company]. There were some good bones, but it needed to be brought up from the bottom.” Menke, along with the support of the board, staff, administration, faculty, and other New Hampton backers, quickly began work carving a new identity for New Hampton. The school entered into a major strategic planning initiative in Menke’s first year, and soon thereafter, the mission statement was rewritten around the notion of global citizenship, a fresh concept that was just beginning to percolate with the general public. The thought was that modernization meant the world was increasingly interconnected, technology allowed for an educational process undreamed about twenty years previous, and Menke’s team envisioned a school that put the global possibilities of an independent boarding school at the forefront of its identity. Menke wasted little time implementing this new vision, as well as reinforcing previously held practices that had become more lax. He stood at the center of this
became our mantra and helped change the school in amazing ways.” From early discussions with the faculty, staff, students, and parents, the Foundations of Learning document, a very public and thorough school-wide declaration of the academic skills covered at each grade level at New Hampton, emerged, and the process of adopting the International Baccalaureate program was started. The Foundations of Learning were to serve as a guiding document for curriculum design in the decade to come, and the IB had multiple purposes: “It seemed, to all of us,” says Menke, “that the intersection between the mission of active global citizenship, and the market differentiation that I think is important to many schools, including New Hampton, was IB.” As the first boarding school in New England to offer the internationally recognized and moderated IB program, New Hampton capitalized on an opportunity to further bolster and organize its academic programs while also offering tangible proof to prospective students that New Hampton’s academic program was both globally oriented and recognized. The program guided both curriculum and a certain amount of marketing, no small consideration in a hyper competitive independent school market about to be hit by the economic recession of 2008. “When we started talking about this,” recalls Menke, “we wanted to have something that we really believed in, that could be congruent with the mission of the school, and we wanted something that was good in the marketplace and could create a little bit of a buzz. When folks would take a look at us and many other schools, it would be one of the points of separation for us. I think it has satisfied both of those.”
“It seemed, to all of us, that THE INTERSECTION BETWEEN THE MISSION OF ACTIVE GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP, and the market differentiation that I think is important to many schools, including New Hampton, was IB.”

That is what the school needed, to accomplish some short term goals to create greater financial and curricular stability.” Athletic Director Jamie Arsenault recalls Menke attacking his new role with a similar frenetic energy. “This urgency was not easy to deal with at first,” says Arsenault, “but then it

gram - students may choose to take individual, stand-alone, honors-level IB courses or enroll in the full IB diploma program as juniors - the IB has helped change the demographic of the domestic and international student at New Hampton’s doorsteps. Yet, for all of the impact of the IB at the organizational and conceptual levels, there is still a more easily visible “market differentiator” implemented under Menke’s tenure that one can easily spot at every turn on campus during the school year: the iPad. While iPads, and similar tablets, are not the educational novelty today they were five or years more ago, New Hampton was one of the first in the region to embrace the possibilities of tablet tech as a learning tool and today remains one of the only independent or public schools in the area with true 1:1 iPad distribution. Each incoming student receives an iPad for their studies and is trained in a number of its programs. “Part of our mission is intellectual curiosity and lifelong learning, and the iPad satisfies some of that,” says Menke. “It provides access in a way other devices may not, and it can have the capacity to customize a learning experience, and I think that is part of what we’re about. You come into our [admissions] waiting area and you see a whole iPad setup and for some families, that’s pretty attractive.” However, Menke’s administration was careful to weigh the real-world benefits of such a bold move before jumping in head first. No one was interested in chasing a short-term (and expensive) fad. The concept was piloted first by doling out iPads exclusively to the incoming 9th graders in 2010, and another year of data gathering passed before the school decided to adopt the idea of iPads for all students and faculty. Today, thanks to an ongoing series of seminar and professional development opportunities regarding technology for faculty, to enter a New Hampton classroom is to see a true blend of modern technology - notes taken and stored in iPad apps, digital textbooks viewed on iPads, presentations projected from iPads on Apple TVs, short films made overnight - and “traditional” classroom activities, exercises, and discussions. For a man overseeing a major commitment to the iPad and technology in the classroom in general, Menke is no technophile himself. He refers
HEAD OF SCHOOL LIBRARY An English Literature major in college and an English teacher during his first experience as a prep school faculty member at Bridgton Academy, Andrew Menke remains a voracious reader. Menke’s appetite for literature of all kinds has undoubtedly colored his philosophies about education, leadership, and life in general. In fact, his reflections on his reading often find their way into discussions with students, lunch table conversations, and New Hampton faculty meetings. “He is someone who reads a lot,” says Director of Studies Matt Fisk, “and I am always impressed by the depth and breadth of what he reads.” While Menke remains a bit of a traditionalist in terms of the medium - “I read occasionally on my iPad, but I read mostly with a good old-fashioned book,” he says - he appreciates a wide variety of subjects and genres in his reading. Here are seven titles the Head of School thinks you shouldn’t miss: ALL THE LITTLE LIVE THINGS, by Wallace Stegner Menke: Stegner is my favorite author and I’ve read this one close to 10 times. It’s about coming to grips with life, death, and our past, and it has always resonated with me.
ALL THE LIGHT WE CANNOT SEE, by Anthony Doerr M: I really enjoyed the all-school read this summer. It’s ultimately about how, against all odds, people try to be good to one another.
ACCIDENTAL TOURIST, by Anne Tyler M: Finalist for the 1985 Pulitzer, this novel captures the trials and tribulations of family.

Groundbreaking initiatives like the reworking of a mission statement and core values, or the implementation of the International Baccalaureate, iPads, and the Foundations of Learning, as well as countless other programmatic and cultural initiatives, all might seem like plenty of laurels to rest on for a Head of School. However, for many who have seen the school evolve since 2005, these may not even be Menke’s most significant accomplishments. “I think it’s buildings and grounds - raising large amounts of money and putting it toward the physical plant,” says Dean of Faculty Dan Love, and many faculty and administrators offer up a similar appreciation for the manner in which the fundraising by Menke’s team has upgraded the physical space in which they work and live. During Menke’s tenure, the development team underwent a capital campaign with unprecedented success, raising 42 million dollars to date, much of that flowing directly into the improvement of the grounds and facilities. Kennedy Field was the first major domino in a dizzying flurry of campus construction during Menke’s tenure, then came the Pilalas Math and Science Center, followed by the O’Connor House residence and the major renovation of Meservey Hall. This summer, Moore House underwent its own facelift and expansion, and construction of the long-awaited Jacobson Hockey Arena will begin in

October of 2015. Given his accomplishments and his personal investment in the school, Menke’s announcement of his departure from New Hampton after the 2015-16 academic year caught some by surprise. “It was a confluence of a couple different factors,” says Menke of his decision to take the head of school position at Utah’s Waterford School. With the graduations of both his children occurring after this academic year—his son Auden will graduate from New Hampton and daughter Anna will graduate from Princeton University - and the celebration of his 50th birthday this year giving him pause to contemplate his professional future, Menke and his wife Jennifer decided this was the time to embark on a new adventure, this time in a region of the country they had felt drawn to ever since that first cross-country trek. That said, the rest of the experience will be uncharted territory, which is part of the plan. “If we were going to have a different experience,” explains Menke, “then we wanted to have a different experience. So going to a place we have never lived, in a more metropolitan area, the suburbs of Salt Lake City, but still being proximate to the mountains and in a K-12 day school, which I have never worked in, all has a lot of attraction.” As Menke enters his final months as New Hampton’s Head of School, those who work with him and have worked with him in the past have inevitably started to reflect on his legacy at the school. “It’s easy to point to the big things like buildings and money raised,” says Mundahl, “but I think the biggest thing is the sense of pride and excitement that the whole NHS community feels. … His leadership was instrumental in making that happen.” Colhoun agrees, adding, “It was assembling a great team of people, big ideas—the iPad was a big idea, the IB was a big idea, the Foundations of Learning was a big idea—and an infusion of capital. I think bringing those three things together are the hallmark of what Andrew has done.” Matt Fisk, Director of Studies, sees Menke’s greatest accomplishment as leaving the school with the ability to flourish once he’s gone. “I think the best testament to Andrew’s leadership is that the people he works with can easily carry on the work that has been started,” says Fisk. “The school is in a place where it can take risks

to himself as a “comfortable sceptic” of technology and notes that he often feels “just old enough and curmudgeonly enough to feel there are times the technology should be put away” in favor of the personal human relationships he values so greatly. “To me, [the technology] is just another effective tool,” adds Menke, who does own a quite active twitter account. Typically a detail-oriented, hands-on manager of initiatives, Menke had to manage the iPad implementation from a relative distance, putting his faith in the concept, the data, and the team when it came to embracing technology. That’s a remarkable thing about him,” says Hans Mundahl, former Director of Technology Integration and a leader in the iPad integration process. “Although I don’t think of him as a bleeding edge tech guy, I think he doesn’t need to be. He trusted his team and had a good sense that this could be a difference maker. That’s a pretty hard thing to pull off, especially when it comes to something like tech.”

and be innovative. Andrew’s departure is certainly big news, but I don’t think anyone is afraid that things are going to fall apart without him because the school is in a very healthy position.” As for Menke himself, he envisions a final year at New Hampton much like the others: a continued investment in innovating and improvement at the school. “We really want to continue to push,” he says. With discussions on the table of everything from the implementation of a new Honor Board and Honor Code to opportunities for more student leadership to the creation of a Maker Lab to the possibilities of a student internship program to the adoption of competency-based assessment and more, Menke’s lists of sticky note to-do’s are as long as ever. That said, he does plan on taking the occasional break from his busy days to reflect on the community that has been his home for 10 years. “I have loved living here, I have loved working here, it has exceeded on a personal level and a professional level all my expectations when we moved here now 10 years ago,” he says. “There is a quality here, the combination of a lack of pretentiousness and the desire to get better, that I love. I love the dynamism, the dynamic feel to this place. … The sense of urgency and the hustle is real. I love the idea of working hard to get better all the time because I think that is what education is all about. Everything that has happened here has been accomplished together, so we should celebrate the accomplishments together, and that’s what we’re planning to do.”

With a legacy in hand built over what will be eleven years as Head of School and exciting challenges ahead, Andrew Menke departs the Lakes Region for the second time in the summer of 2016. However, the polished,
experienced, game-changing head of school is hardly identifiable as the same Andrew Menke that first arrived in the Lakes Region as a single, 23-year-old former freight shipping salesman in search of a new beginning. While two professional stops, the raising of a family, and over 25 years of lifetime experiences were packed between the two New Hampshire stints, it also turns out that, just like it was for the students under his watch, the experience at New Hampton School was a transformational one for its Head of School.

MO L LY Molly Schiot ’98 is tired. After filming on location in Canada for a few weeks, she took a late flight home to Los Angeles. We had e-mailed about a convenient time for her, but a last minute note begging for a later start went unread. When she answers the phone, it’s clear she’s just woken up. She graciously dismisses any apologies and gives herself fully to intrusion. She was a standout athlete at NHS before discovering her artistic leaning at Brown. Since leaving Providence for Los Angeles she’s turned herself into an award winning videographer—her direction of a Jennifer Hudson music video was nominated for a MTV music video award. She’s sought after for her ability to handle long-format ads by major, international brands. As she enters into narrative 50 NEW HAMPTON SCHOOL • FALL 2015

film-making, Schiot’s received a lot of press, justifiably, for her soulful portrait of John Wensink for ESPN’s 30 for 30 documentary series. The biopic on the late 70s Boston Bruins forward won accolades for its beneath-the-surface sensitivity. In an era of film-making gloss, she chose to focus on the quieter side of Wensink. After winning a center ice brawl, and then famously challenging the entire Minnesota North Stars’ bench, his bow after they declined is an image most directors would hang their hats on. Schiot used that hubris as a entry into Wensink’s pathos. We’re lucky to portray such an astute eye.

Q& H: How did you come to LA? MS: I graduated from Brown and had a pretty
significant injury in college where I was really scared of the cold weather and so I moved to Los Angeles mostly because the of the weather. It was one of those decisions that was a little tricky to make because all of my friends went to New York and I was kind of like the only person from Brown at the time that had moved to Los Angeles. So, I was kind of a small New Hampshire person in a really big city. I think some of my regrets about being at New Hampton are I wish I had gotten to know some non-athletes better and so many of the art teachers that were in the dance program and the theater program and the music program that I wish I had tapped into their resources a little bit more. The cool thing is that now, it’s come full circle. I watched the ESPN 30 for 30 series and I just became obsessed with them and loved them and appreciated that art form of them because they’re not just about hockey or lacrosse or swimming. They’re about a political or a cultural event. H: Speaking of 30 for 30, your documentary on John Wensink who, on the surface, is the archetypal NHL enforcer. But in person, he’s a guy who reconsiders. He seems to say, “If I could change some things, I would.” Which is very hard to say in our culture.
Reviewing footage on location 52 NEW HAMPTON SCHOOL • FALL 2015
MS: I can say that he is one of the most sen-
sitive people that I know. His regret was not about the role he played, it was more about that one incident with Minnesota.
H: Regret, it’s that simple? MS: Yeah. Like he said he doesn’t know what
made him do it. I think when you are one those of individuals that has some of that adrenaline, sometimes, it gets put to your brain until you enter a blackout zone. I think he just had no idea what he was doing. When I was listening to the fans talk about it, it was just a really beautiful experience. I wish that John could have heard it.
H: What was uplifting for the folks in Dorchester? MS: There was a lot that was going on in
Boston at the time, there were a lot of families that were struggling with the tension and violence [from the US District Court ordered busing and high school desegregation] at the time and a lot of those people that were at the game that night, I think that there was that feeling of relief, of the underdog winning. There were players that were the ones that everyone had playing cards of, like Terry O’Reilly, and then there was this one guy that people loved. People respected him but he wasn’t the guy that was going to turn heads; he wasn’t the star. I think that when he came
Video for Jennifer Hudson's "I Still Love You"
onto the ice and he did something that was so bold that surprised people so much, people were just completely blown away. H: It was cathartic for the city? MS: I think so. What he did trying to take on
the entire team and fight them was sort of an act of protest. The fact that nobody got up was a really big deal for the city.
H: It’s a strong image of him waving the Minnesota bench on. MS: Yeah. H: There’s a moment in the documentary classic Grey Gardens when one of the Maysles pans over to a mirror to show himself in the reflection. The intention seems to be to alert the audience that the filmmakers understand how crazy or contrived it is to be filming with this much intimacy. Did that influence you in the back hallway interview in the bar? MS: The closet? When you make a documen-
tary, you have no idea how it’s going to unfold because it’s not scripted. So, you go into it hoping that you’ll get something great and that makes sense and that your protagonist is going to be happy with it in the end. You have all these hopes and expectations, very much knowing that it’s an empty slate. You have no idea what will happen. So, with John, I never thought that I was going to interview him in Boston. That whole
&A introduction wasn’t even part of my original idea. And then I started watching this archival footage about the stand, I realized I needed to put this into context. Because he was so humble describing that incident that I wanted to show how other people perceived it. So, while I was in Missouri interviewing him, I pulled the trigger to set up an interview in Boston and hired a local Boston producer to do an open casting call for people that remembered the night. We did the casting up at the Eire Pub, the oldest bar in Dorchester. I flew from Missouri into Boston really early in the morning. I went from the airport to the Eire Pub and it was probably 8:30 and there was a line around the pub of all these people that wanted to tell their story about John. And when I get into the pub, I couldn’t control the excitement level of all these guys. So, I had to go into this 4’ x 4’ beer closet in order to have some sort of sound control. So, it wasn’t a conscious decision. It was more of like, I am not going to get a good interview if I do this in the pub. H: That is so Boston. MS: Yeah. There’s guys coming in with broken
legs, broken arms, their work clothes from the night before. One guy came in his pajamas with a pair of jeans over them. It was me, a camera operator, the sound guy with a huge
boom and then this tiny closet with these guys who would just be shuffled in and out. It was like a confessional booth, a John Wensink confessional booth. So, no, I wish that I could compare myself to the Maysles but definitely not. It was more of a practicality measure. The other thing is that I didn’t go to film school. When I graduated from Brown I really just submerged myself into it. So everything is a learning curve. Even though I’m working, I’m making a career directing commercials and music videos working, I still have a lot to learn. H: Can you talk about, as a director, what you liked about him? MS: Well, I think that what attracted me
to the 30 for 30 series is that it tapped into something that was in the past and I had kind of put into a drawer and hadn’t opened it in a really long time. We grow up to be a culture where it is really divided. So, there is kind of a division between people that are more into the art and people that aren’t into sports and I think that for me, when I stopped playing sports, I went really hard in that direction. I went to art school in Glasgow for a year and I started painting and I started doing illustrations and I became really creative for the first time. When I moved to California, I kept that athletic part of my past quiet. It wasn’t until
I watched The Two Escobars, which is directed by Jeff Zimbalist, about a drug lord, Pablo Escobar and the Columbian national soccer team. And then I just became...it triggered something intellectual and creative. I think that I sat there for a couple of minutes and let it sink in. And then I started noticing there were no female protagonists. There’s probably ninety 30 for 30s that’ve been made and then there’s one about women, the Tonya Harding story. And then there weren’t really many female directors, except for Nanette Burstein who did The Price of Gold. So, it made me really frustrated, which is how most women in Hollywood feel because there aren’t those opportunities and if there are, they’re really hard to book. So, it just so happened that I knew Michael Rappaport the director that was working on a 30 for 30 about the Knicks. I started talking with him about all of my favorite 30 for 30s. The Renée Richards story was one of my favorites, The Two Escobars was one of my favorites, Muhammad Ali was one of my favorites. And the ones I was more drawn to were the ones about political and social change. Michael thought there was no reason why I shouldn’t be directing one of these. So, he opened up the line of communication between ESPN and myself. What happened originally is that I pitched them three stories
http://espn.go.com/30for30/film?page=ourtoughguy FALL 2015 • HAMPTONIA 53
about women athletes and they passed on all of them. And then I got a call about a month later and they said, “Hey, we really want to work with you and we want to fill in some holes in our programming for our season of 30 for 30. We have a couple of stories that we’ve come up with that we want to bring to life, and we’d be interested in you pitching any of your stories.” And they pitched me about eight and one of them was about a Boston Bruin, keep in mind all eight were about men. I just said, you know that feels like home to me and it feels familiar and I said I wanted to do it. So, that’s how I jumped into that process. The cool thing is that after I did the 30 for 30 and it did really well, I was contacted by the producers of ESPN after that and said that they really need to do a second one.
think the book or that the blog is just about gay athletes and it’s not. So, I’m changing that name permanently and I have a couple different calls next week with big publishing houses that do art books. H: All of the images on Butch History are fantastic. MS: I’ll send you my book proposal. I wrote a
lot about my childhood and sports, and high school a little bit, and college and the 30 for 30 series. There’s all these young women that are so excited, but there are so few role models, especially, outside of the United States. I think I felt this responsibility to pull these stories from the past and show them to other people. Hopefully people will read the book and learn about these women because their stories are really interesting.
"I’M DOING THINGS THAT JUST MAKE ME HAPPY AT THE END OF THE DAY. I kind of have taken the pressure off myself a little bit." I made it my goal to make a story about a woman athlete and I started pitching them ideas pretty much on a daily basis and then the response wasn’t great. But it made me really happy because I was pulling these stories out of library archives that were really important to me and started sharing them on Instagram. I started this blog called Butch History and it basically is about these really unknown stories about women athletes all around the world prior to the internet. That’s one thing that I learned about during the 30 for 30s prior to that internet is that there aren’t resources online because most of these events happened so far in the past that the stories weren’t carried over to the web, or you know, the photography wasn’t carried over. So, it’s kind of like all these stories have died in libraries. Unless you’re someone like Babe Ruth or you’re a huge name like Jackie Robinson. H: What’s happening with Butch History? MS: I pitched it to be a book and that’s what
I’m working on right now. The one thing that I’m changing is the name. I called it Butch History because a lot of times when a women are playing sports, they’re told that they’re like too masculine or that they’re gay or that they’re butch. But what I’m realizing is it’s limiting my audience because a lot of people can 54 NEW HAMPTON SCHOOL • FALL 2015
H: What do you think are the obstacles in bringing stories about women to the screen—is it perceived audience size? MS: It’s not a new prob-
lem. I think that they always thought about the audience as primarily male. And, a lot of the internal teams at networks are mostly male. I think that those two things together don’t make an environment where content is being made about female protagonists. If there were women that were in places of power there’d be more stories about women being made. One thing that I am learning is that ESPN’s audience and that the 30 for 30 viewers a lot of times are women. You know, women love 30 for 30 because it not just sitting down and like watching sports. Not like there’s anything wrong with it but it’s getting into

the meat of someone’s feelings and emotions and that’s something that we all want to identify with and watch.
H: Is it frustrating considering that in the case of soccer, our national women’s team always does better than our men’s team? MS: Yeah. It’s hard to compare because they’re

in Los Angeles because the way that people kind of keep their careers relevant a lot of times is to take whatever is offered. It’s also an unfortunate thing because you can be really talented and not working for years and then your name is kind of forgotten. For me, I thought about that I think too much. So now, I’m doing things that just make me happy at
e-mails or Facebook messages that are just checking in and saying how excited they are for seeing me be me. I’m just really fortunate to have kept those relationships with those teachers because they’ve been a really nice sounding board and have consistently reminded me about the good things that New Hampton has offered me. Another thing that I thought New Hampton did a really good job at was just a

Griffin hochstetter '15 Griffin Hochstetter ’15 is passionate about flight to the point of obsession. When he talks about hang gliding, which he does with little prompting, he leans forwards, stares you straight in the eye and rattles facts, theories, anecdotes, sensory experience, history, and the finer points of aerodynamics. Part of the School’s mission is to cultivate life-long learners, and Hochstetter has internalized this curiosity. For all of his dreaming he’s also pragmatic and mature. Now at Florida Institute of Technology in Melbourne, New Hampton School was a calculated move on his part. He structured his coursework and his Project Week time to prepare himself for a college experience rooted in flying, and for a career in aeronautics.
H : H o w d i d yo u g e t s ta r t e d i n av i at i o n ? G H : I took my first flight in a plane at six months old with my father who is a flight
instructor. I flew all the time, when I was two, he had me in his lap. By the time I was five he was letting me fly the plane, my feet couldn’t reach the pedals, but he’d let me steer. And I grew up watching him hang glide. For four years, I watched him hang glide and fly planes, and then he said I could start hang gliding. So I started training at nine at the Morningside Flight Park in Charlestown, NH, and trained there until I was twelve. It was sporadic, they held me back a little bit because of my age. So we went to my father’s old instructor in Connecticut, and he taught me a lot but he wasn’t licensed at the time so he couldn’t certify me to launch off the mountain. I went to Ellinville, NY and I trained with a guy named Greg Black at Mountain Wings and he saw I was doing things right. So I launched off the mountain when I was thirteen in October. It was the coolest thing I’ve ever done in my life. For my second flight I went off a mountain closer to home, which doesn’t get much hang gliding traffic. It’s more of a paragliding mountain.
H : W h at ’s t h e d i f f e r e n c e ? G H : Paragliders are crescent moon shaped wing, they’re completely air inflated. You
can get the whole kit in a backpack. Hang gliders, of course, are in a long tube, and you have to hike up with another backpack for you harness. You have to be young or determined. On my second flight I hit my first lift. And my next eight flights, I aero-towed.
H : W h at ’s t h at ? G H : You get towed behind an ultra light tug that’s specifically designed to tow hang
gliders. I learned how in a few days. When I got my aero-tow rating I did another eight flights that day. And on the last flight of the day I soared for two hours, a long flight for that age.
H : I t s e e m s y o u n g t o b e f ly i n g p e r i o d , f o r a n y l e n g t h o f t i m e . G H : Yeah, but I spent my entire childhood pestering my father about flying, asking
how to thermal, how to soar, how to lift, how to get up into the clouds. I just pelted him with questions every free moment of our time together. So I had a lot of knowledge, but I’d never used it before. And then I soared for first time, for two hours, I was fourteen.
H: To be clear, this is all without an engine? G H : No engines. We call it unpowered, free flight. You use thermals, which are hot
columns of rising air, or ridge-lift, which is when air hits an object and rises up that FALL 2015 • HAMPTONIA 57
object. And it doesn’t just fold over the top; it keeps going up. You can launch and ride up this lift. You soar across a ridge for hours, and a thermal might get blown in, and you take that thermal all the way up to 7,000’, to cloud base. H: Can you see the thermals? G H : No, you can’t, but you can see clouds and sometimes you can see a little debris
that gets sucked up from the ground. Like seeds. And you can smell scents from the ground. Orange blossoms down in Florida, you’ll smell them, and it might be a little bit warmer. And the air will be fast around you and loud. It’s a neat sensation, and all of a sudden your vario gets louder and faster. You know you’re going up.
H : W h at ’s a va r i o ? G H : That’s an instrument which tells you how fast you’re going up or down. (You
generally descend at 200’ per minute on glide.) I’ve hit thermals where I’ve gone up 1,000’, 1,200’ per minute. Five minutes later I went from 1,000’ to 7,000’ which is faster than a lot of small planes will climb.
H: How? G H : You just core the thermal, you turn, you do circles inside this column of air you’re
visualizing as you’re flying. You’re picturing the edges of the thermal; you’re trying to stay in it, trying to find that really strong core, then you find it, and crank the glider up at a really steep angle and you stay really tight circling up. And your vario is screaming at you beep beep beep beep all the way up! So you can’t see it, but you learn
"I launched off the mountain when I was thirteen in October. It was the coolest thing I’ve ever done in my life." 58 NEW HAMPTON SCHOOL • FALL 2015
to visualize it. And you learn to look for certain types of clouds which a thermal will feed, and you head for underneath that cloud. You head for the direction a thermal would travel. They come up at an angle; because of wind it’s not a perfectly straight up and down shape. If you see a pond with a field next to it, there’s a lot of heat from the field and there’s cool air from the pond. That temperature inversion will release the thermal, the heat will bubble up and a gust of wind will blow cool air in and kind of pop that bubble, and all of a sudden you’ll see a wispy cloud start to form which will turn into this cumulus cloud. A nice big, flat bottom. And you know between that area and that cloud there’s a lot of lift, so you fly to intercept that area. That’s how we go across country: we look for clouds and we look for triggers. And after we go up we go on glide, away from the mountain or field. H : W h at ’s t h e l o n g e s t u n p o w e r e d f l i g h t ? G H : (without pause) 475 miles. An eleven and a half hour flight, by Dustin Martin
and Jonny Durand in Zapata, Texas. They used something like 150 thermals. I think they ended up climbing 66,000’. They were down wind, so they had a tail wind pushing them along. They had ground speeds of 70 to 80 knots, and air speeds of 45 knots, the best speeds in a hang glider. They were probably getting 17:1 glide ratios, seventeen feet forward for every one foot of drop. And that’s on a flex-wing hang glider, which is less efficient than a fixed wing glider.
H : T h at w i l l c h a n g e at s o m e p o i n t; a f i x e d w i n g g l i d e r w i l l b e at t h at r e c o r d ? G H : Yeah, you just have to put the right wind and the right pilot together. H: So you came to New Hampton? Why? G H : I liked the IB program, the teachers. And the mountains. I love the White Moun-
tains. And I was really big on ski racing at the time. That and I just liked the people, everyone was friendly. That was the difference between NHS and all the other schools: during the tour everyone here smiled and said hi on the paths. Driving away after the interview my mother and I both said, this is it. And we still had more schools to visit, but it was a very easy choice.
H : Yo u w e n t f u l l- I B ? G H : No, I didn’t. My career interests and my college choice didn’t require it. I wanted
some free time to study flying. And senior year I wanted to be able to take my car to fly.
H : T e l l u s a b o u t f ly i n g t h i s y e a r , y o u r s e n i o r y e a r . G H : At the end of last year, I petitioned to go to Tennessee for the third week of school
to fly at an instructional competition with the best pilots in the world. It was a really neat experience, and I asked Mr. Menke, I asked Mr. Little, I cleared it with all of my teachers. They were supportive provided I stayed on top of my work. I studied the lessons and did the homework before, so when I got back my grades didn’t drop at all. And the teachers were super helpful. My math teacher Mr. Rightmyer took the time to study with me. Physics, Mr. Beaulieu took the time to help me learn the lessons and showed me the homework. The week leading up to that absent week was very intense. I was very surprised, I thought it would be harder to get in touch with them and get them to agree. It’s an awkward request, I’m not going home for the weekend to visit a sick grandparent. I’m going to hang glide for a week. It meant a lot. And then I asked Mrs. Little if I could keep a car up here so I could go hang gliding. The administration allows boarding students to keep a car under special circumstances to practice their sports and such. Mrs. Little said, “Absolutely.” I’m always hesitant to ask that of people, because their first response is, “That’s too dangerous.”
H: Can you explain Project Week and how your were able to combine your passion to position you for Florida Tech? G H : Project Week just gives you time to study one subject without any distractions.

of students up in the air, we were in a simulator, and we flew drones. This year, I wanted to concentrate on hang gliding. I talked to Mr. Joslin about going to Florida alone to fly everyday, as part of an independent study project on glider design. And the School said yes. H : W h at d o yo u d o t o r e l a x ? G H : I read about flying or watch videos of flying. I have a lot of opinions about video
games and stuff and the modern generation and how completely lazy and ridiculous we are. I was raised without a TV, and without video games, so I never had the games. I never will, because I have no interest in that. I’d much rather be outside sitting on top of a mountain waiting for the wind to blow in so I can go up and soar with a bald eagle for two hours. And then come down and talk with people who have the same passion in my life, than sit at home screaming at some kid online, whatever, with my eyes glued to a screen. For me that’s awful.
H: How do you train? G H : I really do a full body training regimen. I do put a little extra emphasis on the
triceps, the pushing muscles. It’s a lot of this kind of motion. And I train just by flying, too. Just flying, even if it’s a nice day and my arms are tired, but I can stay up for another hour I’ll do it just to build the endurance. That’s always fun. It’s also neat to get that point where you’re like, “Oh, I want to stay up for another hour. Let me just go find a thermal and stay up.” Once you reach that point, things start to really open up for you. I think New Hampton helped me become a better pilot. The fact that they were willing to let me go on the trip, let me do project week, follow my passion of flight with Mr. Tufts. Mr. Joslin was super helpful. He’s really great about taking cool ideas and giving them a go ahead. The school has fought for us and flying many times. They haven’t necessarily won, because they have to listen to the insurance company, and that was fine. Besides the general growth I’ve had here, I’ve had growth in my flying as well. I actually don’t know if I would have had that same growth going to a different prep school far away from home. I probably wouldn’t have been able to stay with it.

I took several classes in college for Equine Massage and decided it was a great thing to have on the side. New Hampton was fun for Molly and I.

program and New Hampton is still up and going stronger than ever! New Hampton’s equestrian team was perfect for my high school experience. It was fun and included so many different disciplines, which created an environment to learn and try new things, which sometimes is hard to come by in the equestrian world. People tend to find their thing and stick with it as Kacie and I have now. It allowed us to be competitive with ourselves and really be able to support each other as a team. Since New Hampton I have gone on to work for Stuart Pittman and the non-profit organization The Retired Racehorse Project. It’s a company that works to spread awareness of Off the Track Thoroughbreds and giving them a second career. That led me to begin working for Alexandra Knowles, a young, up-and-coming international event rider who I met through the RRP. I am now hopefully (fingers crossed) beginning work at the Maker’s Mark Secretariat Center. It is a small barn and adoption agency located at the Kentucky Horse Park who gives 40+ racehorses new homes a year.” LU XIAO I am happy you are doing well out in Seattle.

Tracey Lewis After training to be an attorney, Tracey Lewis ’86 says she, “took a left turn after graduation” and returned to her true love of writing. Now a humorist by trade, she has worked on punching up articles, speeches and radio pieces for well-known academics and comedians. She took her first foray into long-format books by co-authoring The BAP Handbook: The Official Guide to the Black American Princess. The seminal and hilarious look at spoiled, well-to-do young black women was a literary game-changer, selling out its first run of almost 20,000 copies in just thirty days. As the main author, Lewis drew upon her experiences at New Hampton to shape the stories about an unheralded American sub-culture. The New York Times called it, “wise, witty counsel.” Currently working on her next book, The Millennial’s Guide to Living At Home, she finds inspiration and anecdotes from nearly everyone she meets. But Lewis also stokes her serious side as a journalist, covering local and state government, as well as arts and literature. Her work has appeared on NPR, WBEZ and Maine Public Radio and in Chicago and suburban Chicago newspapers.

MARVIN HUBBARD, a bruising fullback who made
three Pro Bowls in the early 1970s for the Oakland Raiders, died on May 4th in Livermore, Calif. He was 68. Hubbard, who was listed at 6 feet 1 inch and 226 pounds, played in 90 games for the Raiders from 1969 to 1975. He also played one season with the Detroit Lions. He rushed for 4,544 yards and 23 touchdowns in his career. He also caught 85 passes for 628 yards and a score. He played football at New Hampton School, graduating in 1964; he then played football at Colgate and was selected by Oakland in the 11th round of the 1968 draft. Besides his wife, survivors include a daughter, Allison Hubbard Morris; a son, Marvin; and five grandchildren. Reflections from Joe Gauld, former faculty member and football coach at NHS on Marv Hubbard. “I read the account of Marv Hubbard’s passing today in the New York Times with great sadness. Marv was not only a great kid, but the most successful athlete I ever coached. It all began for me at a coaches clinic when Hal Lahar, the Colgate coach to whom I had sent Jim Buckley—his top running back—approached me, “Joe, We’ve got this 16 year old kid our admissions committee has accepted from Red House New York, but I’m worried about his readiness to attend a sophisticated college, as well as being a raw talent whose only played 8 man football. Could you take him for a year?” So Marv came to New Hampton. When he came out for football, I tried to get an idea of what kind of plays he ran. He didn’t seem to understand. So I said, “Well, did you run straight ahead much?” He said, “No, because they always seem to have guys lined up in front of me.” Then he paused, “Except when I got mad.” John Madden of Oakland called Marv the toughest player he ever coached. We played Vermont Academy after their star end was featured in an article in the New York Times, averaging 2 TD catches a game. I told Marv, a linebacker to line up against him when he flanked, and then blast him on his duff. Incredibly, that’s exactly what happened, and the stunned player had a very subdued afternoon. Before games, I would visit the officials and say, “I have a kid who doesn’t know when he is down, so please do not blow your whistles until you actually see his body on the ground. “The officials would testily say “Coach we don’t blow the whistle until we see the player on the ground.” I’d say, “I know, but you haven’t seen this kid yet.” Three times that year I had officials apologizing to me for blowing the whistle too soon, several times costing us a touchdown. Marv went on to Colgate, teaming up with Jimmy Buckley in the backfield. In one game, the two of them together carried the ball 68 times, setting a NCAA record. FALL 2015 • HAMPTONIA 71

The generosity of the individuals highlighted throughout the following pages is the force behind the success of the Annual Fund over the past five years. 2014- 2015 was an exciting year as NHS advanced into new capital projects including fundraising for the new Jacobson Arena—set to open in just over a year—and the completion of the Moore House restoration. We would be remiss if we 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, we extend our deepest gratitude for caring and making New Hampton School a bit better each day. This Annual Report provides many details about the 2014 - 2015 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. In these dynamic financial times, for individuals as well as for institutions, we 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

From a Trustee
THE LIEBERT FAMILY “Giving to New Hampton School was an easy decision for us because they continue to give back to our family through the strong, smart young men our three sons have become. I see moments that are clear reminders of the impact their years at New Hampton has made on them. New Hampton instilled the education and experiences needed for my boys to go beyond the norm and with each graduate the school sends back out of those New Hampshire hills, we are creating a better society for all.” —CARL C. LIEBERT III P’10, ’12, ’15

From a Legacy Family THE DAVY FAMILY
“New Hampton has given me so much. Every time I return to campus, I have the same great, empowering feelings I had when I was a student. I hope that by giving back, I can help others come to New Hampton and experience the warm sense of belonging I find here still. I am so grateful that my son Torre also gets to reap the benefits of the amazing changes at NHS while still enjoying the incredible sense of community I have always felt.” —LISA DAVY ’83, P’17

From a Family Abroad THE SHUKAYLO FAMILY
“New Hampton School has been a part of our lives since 2012. Our son, Georgy, attended the AELP summer program before he applied to NHS. He loved everything about his summer experience and so we explored the idea of him becoming a boarding student. As we look back on these last three years, we remember our first impressions of New Hampton School. We were impressed by the facilities of the school, new computers and modern basketball gyms. This year, we donated to the Annual Fund because we would like NHS to improve even further. Our wish is for new students to love this campus as well, and we wish NHS all the best.”

From a Staff Member BETH DODGE P’07, ’09
“As the mother of two sons who enjoyed four years at NHS, I give back to acknowledge the many gifts they received as students. While they were at New Hampton, I watched new talents and abilities emerge, nurtured by caring teachers and coaches. Encouraged by those around them, they stretched themselves in new and challenging situations. Thanks to New Hampton, they discovered who they are, sometimes surprising even themselves. We give to the Annual Fund so this transformation can happen for other students.”

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.

New Hampton School is most appreciative of the generous commitment made to preserving the school’s future by the Society’s current members. We encourage others to join those honored here who recognize the value of sharing their legacy.

We invite you to leave your own legacy.
Tom and Jen Berry
Alumna, current faculty member and parent Jen Berry ’83, P’07, P’10, P’15 hopes to secure a strong future for New Hampton School. Along with husband Tom, she is creating her own New Hampton legacy. What part of your time at NHS was most influential? I was a bit provincial before New Hampton. NHS opened my eyes to diversity of race, culture, religion, and lifestyles. What was most important to you as a NHS parent? The professional educators who surrounded us on campus helped raise my kids. Who better to teach our children during their adolescent years? The evolving curriculum has afforded each of my children a unique course. Why did you make a gift to NHS in your estate? New Hampton is my family’s sense of place, a rare gift to give children today in this fast-paced and often transient world.
JEN BERRY ’83 arrived at New Hampton School as a freshman, and returned in June 1987 as a full-time faculty member. She and her husband Tom sent their three children to NHS, and watched them flourish in college and beyond. They joined the 1821 Society with a bequest to the School. The generosity displayed by Jen and Tom 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.
