HEADMASTER’S CORNER People are the principal ingredient of any institution, a fact that is especially true of schools and colleges. A school can be no more effective than its teachers, no more vibrant than its student body, no more forward looking than its trustees, no more ethically upright than its administration, and no more caring and helpful than its staff. Like the people who comprise it, the healthy institution has vital signs – institutional versions of the measures we employ to assess human health, like blood pressure, pulse, temperature, etc. As you page through this issue of Scenes, you will notice that the Academy is in remarkable shape even as we battle the challenges of a weak economy and government incursions on our independence. Our vital signs remain strong. Look, for instance, at our thriving boarding program and its full enrollment with representation from a truly global constituency - a strong endorsement and a robust vital sign to be sure! Or look at the philanthropic support our efforts have inspired. The annual fund has enjoyed the highest level of alumni/parent participation in the Academy’s history. At the same time, capital giving has exploded in the past five or so years - another vital sign that points to a long and bright institutional future. Perhaps the most encouraging vital sign of all is the serious engagement of our students in the Academy’s academic program. Our efforts to raise aspirations have paid off as seen in the Class of 2010 moving on to higher education in increased numbers. Specifically, 82% of the class will pursue post-secondary education this September. Momentum is an overworked word in sports, but we don’t think much about a school’s momentum. The fact is that Fryeburg Academy is enjoying a powerful lift from the momentum it has built over the past decade. Those of you who have helped us create and sustain the momentum are worthy of the honorable term “alumni.” Those of you who have not, please consider the example of the Academy Class of 2010, 100% of whom have already made personal gifts to the annual fund. What a meaningful endorsement and yet another strong vital sign. Dan Lee FA Commencement-June 6, 2010-Dan Lee congratulates Aimee Freeman ‘10

ALUMNI DIRECTOR It gives me great pleasure to introduce to you, one hundred and eighty eight of the most dedicated alums to ever graduate from the academy, the Class of 2010!!! That’s right, the entire Class of 2010. Why, because they are the first class in the history of Fryeburg to participate 100% in the annual giving program. These alums in residence were challenged by me to reach 100% participation before they graduated. Class President, Kenedi Hall ‘10 and fellow classmate, Taylor Patterson ‘10, took up the crusade, and rallied their class to achieve this goal. NEVER, in the history of this school, has a class ever had 100% participation in a single year. This is a trend we will strive to continue for future classes at the Academy. Now, with that being said, which class will be the second class to have 100% participation in annual giving? It is up to you to rally your class to try and achieve this goal. It is not the amount of the contribution I am concerned with; it is the act of contributing I am asking for. Our school has a deep pool of alums totaling over seven thousand. However, the participation in annual giving is less than 25% of our alums. Todd Gallagher ‘82 - FA’s Alumni Director So I challenge you, as a member of your class, to see if you can be the second class to reach this goal. Just get your classmates involved. I am looking for participation and the reconnection with this school. This magazine is one true way to reach out and connect with all of you. I have enjoyed meeting and renewing old acquaintances with so many of you, but it is impossible to see you all face-to-face. I hope that this bit of historical information will inspire you to continue your support of the Academy or bring you back into the mix of what makes us tick.
As usual, this has been another busy year as we try to connect with so many of you and make sure you are doing well. Trips to Florida, New York, Arizona, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and Washington D.C. have allowed us a chance to catch up and visit many alums. We are in hopes of visiting many more places this fall as we look to see even more of you. I hope when we come near to you, that you will make an effort to come and see us and fill us in on what you are doing. As another year passes, let’s not forget to seek out a classmate that you have not talked with. Make the effort to say hi, and just touch base. We are all getting older, but our friendships have lasted a lifetime. Pick up the phone, send an email, or find them on Facebook, however you do it, just do it. If you need help then let me know and I will help you find your lost friends. We are in constant need of updating in our data base, so when you know of a new address, please The Alumni Office will begin to take orders for the let us know. new Fryeburg Academy 2010 Directory, with an anticipated release date sometime this fall.

THE 2010 ALUMNI DIRECTORY

PUBLIC RELATIONS & ANNUAL GIVING Dear FA Alums - I hope the Summer of 2010 is finding you all well. When we watch the news and read the newspapers, it seems life can be rather challenging these days. A bad economy, a huge oil spill, news of all sorts of daily disasters with only a few stories of hope and joy. The good news that I want to report to you is the hope that is found at FA every day. The same hope many of you found when you were students here. Every year young boys and girls become young men and women. We get to watch them learn, grow, make mistakes, lose, love, win, laugh, cry and develop into some pretty darned wonderful human beings by the time they graduate. This issue of Scenes is full of the photographic moments which will tell those stories. I ask you to remember and walk a mile in their shoes. Try to remember and feel the hope that we all felt back then. In looking back over the 2009-2010 school year, I ask myself, “what was my favorite moment?” It was our trip to NYC on Project Graduation and the moment we just happened to run into Kid Rock on the street. We had twelve different groups of FA kids with one chaperone per group. My clan was heading back to Times Square after seeing the show, “The 39 Steps” at 50th & 8th Avenue. Kaylee Joan Flood Hollis ‘70 & Rachel Andrews Damon ‘76Belmer ‘10 spotted Kid Rock first, but was unsure. Our group FA’s Director of Public Relations & Annual Giving decided to make sure! The good news is that I had my camera right in my hand. Kid Rock was wonderfully gracious and kind to our FA seniors. He seemed happy to allow me to take as many photos as we wanted. It was just a very cool moment. The people who put on Project Graduation deserve hugh thank yous for enabling these kids to leave Fryeburg, Maine, and to spend time in one of the biggest and most wonderful cities on the planet. My first time experiencing NYC was with my classmate, Zeke Wofford ‘76, way back in 1975. Zeke lived on 34th Street in Manhattan and was a boarding student here for three years. As always, I digress... Don’t we all now that we’re getting older? Telling stories from, “back in the day.” Speaking of “back in the day,” I met up with my old (not literally) babysitter, Joan Flood Hollis ‘70 at the Connecticut Social put on by Peter Mason ‘76 & John Webb ‘87. And it was just as cool as running into Kid Rock! Take care friends. See you at Reunion & Homecoming and, of course, Fryeburg Fair! RAD

NOTES & COMMENT FROM ALUMNI HOUSE On July 1st, the crew here in Alumni House spent the day together outside of the office to celebrate the success of the year just past, and to plan for an even better year ahead. On what quietly serves as our Academic New Year’s Day, we can take a short breath and consider what worked over the past year, and what didn’t work as well as we’d hoped. It was a time to put some creative energy into charting our course for this, the 219th year of our school. And our work centers around making connections with you. One of the great successes of the year revolved around a student, and in turn the 2010 Senior Class. Kenedi Hall ‘10, with a level of energy and enthusiasm that is unprecedented in his role as Senior Class President, accomplished several major milestones. First, he succeeded, with Todd Gallagher’s ‘82 able coaching, to get every member of his class to donate to annual giving. This has not occurred in recent memory, and without a doubt sets the bar for future classes; a process by which each student will come to understand how important any level of alumni support will always be for their school. On top of this, with an eye to completing the solar panel project begun with the Class of 2009, he wrote grants and raised money, bringing in a total class gift of just over $10,000 to fund the project. This striking amount qualified the Academy to be in consideration for a significant, and competitive, matching rural energy grant; a decision about which we should learn at the start of September. Money raised from students, green technology on the horizon, and notched-up school spirit… Way to go Kenedi, and all of the Class of 2010!
Tim Scott FA’s Director of Development
Another success was Rachel Damon’s ‘76 first year at the helm of annual giving. Her cheerleader-like approach and deep love for this school has translated in more dollars and more donors, both in the midst of a difficult economic year for most of the world. Kudos to Rachel, and to all of you who responded to her call. If there is one deep truth we have learned in this process, it is that everyone can make a difference. To learn more about the goals of the annual giving program, I encourage you to contact Rachel directly at rdamon@fryeburgacademy.org or call (207) 935-2001 x 3134. If you consider for a moment the primary role of our office, it is to find ways to keep you connected to the school and to one another long after you have removed your graduation caps and gowns. Most of us have full lives and new friends from college or work, but in my 11 years here at the Academy I am continually amazed at how the connections you made at this school have stood the test of time. Your August reunions are larger by far than at any other school, and the turnout at localized events continues to grow. Today, the internet and burgeoning social media outlets have made it easier than ever to simply stay in touch. If we stay connected to you, you stay connected to one another, and you are kept in the loop about what is happening on campus, we will all remain close for years to come. We hope that you will feel as good as we do about the future of FA. It is a new year, a new beginning, and a new opportunity to reach out to all of you to say thanks and to once again remind you that your school will always need you. Watch these pages, your mailbox, and your email inbox over the coming year to keep pace with the news and each other. For a very old school, these are exciting times, indeed. Tim Scott, Director of Development

DIRECTOR OF GIFT PLANNING Making a difference through the LaCasce Bequest Society The LaCasce Bequest Society is a recognition society for those who have provided for Fryeburg Academy through their will or charitable gift annuity. Some members have designated the Academy as a beneficiary of their life insurance or retirement assets. Members of the LaCasce Bequest Society are recognized in the Academy’s Annual Report and other publications and they are listed on a beautiful plaque that hangs in Old Main, and they are invited to the Annual LaCasce Dinner. How Can We Help You? Everyone’s situation is unique. You may have additional questions about how some particular strategy might work for you ---- or you may have questions about how to make use of specific assets in your own planning. At various stages of our lives, we all deal with different issues, financial and otherwise. These stages of life need to be taken into account when planning your gift to Fryeburg Academy. Some alumni share their reasons for using planned gifts to support their alma mater, i.e. “..both of us had good experiences at Fryeburg, as did our daughter. We have supported Fryeburg through the years with gifts to the Annual Fund. But we wanted to do something more. That’s why we chose to name Fryeburg as a beneficiary of one of our retirement plans.”
Peter Klomp, Director of Gift Planning
I would welcome the chance to assist you in that process and encourage you to give me a call at (207) 935-2001 x 3147 or email me at pklomp@fryeburgacademy.org. Peter Klomp, Director of Gift Planning

ALUMNI COORDINATOR Here we are in the “Dog Days of Summer” in the throes of closing out our Annual Giving Program of 2009-2010; creating our summer edition of our Fryeburg Academy Scenes 2010, and lastly, preparing for our “Reunion” weekend of August 20, 21 and 22, 2010. Many class years ending in zero or five are hard at work preparing for their 25th or 50th reunions. Our Alumni Office team celebrated another successful year with an all-day retreat on the shore of Silver Lake with the famous Mt. Chocorua in our distant view. Any one remember reading the book, “Look to the Mountain,” by LeGrand Cannon? We established our new Alumni Office theme for the 2010-2011 year. These words represent our consensus of philosophy we hope to project/present to all our alumni, parents, friends, trustees, students, and faculty: Attitude – Image – Goose bumps In other words, do you feel a sense of attitude of gratitude, grateful images, and the goose bumps of God’s grace of where we are after 219 years and how we treat you? We are such a comprehensive Academy campus with an abundance of breaking stories in Scott Kelly ‘53-Alumni Coordinator achievements, of fine arts and music, international culture, sports, the Performing Arts Center – summer chamber music concerts and the Metropolitan Opera; our curriculum accomplishments with AP scores, alternative education opportunities, two art galleries to exhibit student and professional artwork, entrepreneurship, Mandarin, exposure to the trades, college placement, and special education success. All of these activities depend on your annual giving support! All these turn of events lend the surrounding communities a sense of ownership which perpetuates the Academy as a cultural hub of activity whereby “interest begets interest.” Thank you, as always, for your continued support. Your faithful servant, Scott A. Kelly ‘53, Alumni Coordinator Don’t miss Reunion 2010 - August 20, 21 & 22. Details are at www.fryeburgacademy.org and on Page 10 - See you here!

PACE GALLERIES OF ART AT FA “If you build it, they will come” is a classic cliché. However, a cliché contains truth and since the opening of the Palmina F. and Stephen S. Pace Galleries of Art, we have witnessed the truth contained in it. Since April 2010 our 2000+ visitors have come from all across the United States. We were particularly pleased that Maine Home+Design visited and did a feature article on the Gallery in its May 2010 edition. We began the new year with a show of three Maine women artists. Evelyn Dunphy, watercolorist; Frances Kornbluth, an artist who works in many media; and Mildred Johnson, a sculptor. In June we opened 2010’s second exhibition inaugurating our first annual Summer Show. As you enter the gallery, the walls are hung with recent donations of art. Then you move on to the graphite drawings and paper sculpture of Brunswick artist James Marshall. The final gallery has 28 photographs of Maine’s newest immigrant citizens taken by Jan Pieter van Vorst van Beest, an international photographer and author. One of the questions I am most often asked is, “Does the Gallery have a collection?” I jokingly respond, “If you are 219 years old, you have stuff and some of it is sublime.” In August the English art magazine, Burlington, will include the B. T. Newman that hangs in the old Tinker Library. Shortly after I was appointed as Gallery Director, I began to receive communications from a British art historian about the painting. It seems that Mr. Newman was painting the piece Dejuener in Bretagne while he was with his good friend Paul Gauguin!
John Day ‘67-Director, Pace Galleries
The Gallery has been the grateful recipient of numerous donations this year. Particularly important to the Gallery are the local works of B. T. Newman and Anne Cary Bradley. The estate of Leon Goldin, a Columbia University art professor and Deer Isle, Maine, summer resident, donated 13 works. Recent additions include works from the late artists Mark Baum and Harry Nadler. Both artists will have one-person exhibitions over the next few years. Now that we have built the Gallery, what are our forthcoming plans? First and foremost are enhancing the collection with gifts. We especially seek works from the nineteenth century White Mountain School. While most gifts have been watercolors or oils, we also seek prints, engravings and sculpture. If you are aware of potential donors, please contact the Alumni Office. Secondly, the Gallery is seeking to begin an endowment that will allow for the purchase and conservation of work. Finally, we want to add display stands and glass cases for exhibition purposes. In August 2010 we will open a major White Mountain show from a private collection. In November, in conjunction with Child’s Gallery in Boston, we will have an exhibition of the 19-20th century impressionist Gertrude Beals Bourne. January 2011 will begin our first effort at cooperation with another museum. We will hang 19 oils that record Maine’s logging history. This show will be particularly exciting because it will include logging photographs and equipment such as chain saws and possibly a 24-foot bateaux, the last of its kind that was used on the Dead River log drives.

If you are not on the invitation list for gallery openings, please contact the Alumni Office to receive announcements of future openings. The Gallery hours are 9am-1pm Monday through Friday. Special arrangements can be made through the box office of the Leura Hill Eastman Performing Arts Center. John Day ‘67-Director, Pace Galleries

LEURA HILL EASTMAN PERFORMING ARTS CENTER
Heather Masse ‘00 was the perfect way to start our year at the Leura Hill Eastman Performing Arts! In January the theater was packed with friends, family and fans of all ages who wanted to be the first to get their hands on her latest album, “Bird Song.” We’re all so proud of Heather, and it is wonderful to see how well she is doing, and watch her ever successful career! She graced our screen in February as part of the live satellite broadcast of “A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor,” amazing us all again with her talent! The satellite broadcasts of The Metropolitan Operas continued to be a big hit. We were proud to be one of the theaters that participated in this series, which broke records for the performance of “Carmen” in January, with over 240,000 people enjoying this great opera around the world. We’ve been showing The Met Encore series this summer and are looking forward to the fall season which will have twelve opera performances. We also had wonderful performances by Blues great, Duke Robillard and guitar legend Phil Keaggy this spring. For our film lovers we had the award winning Asbury Shorts Film Festival back for the 2nd year and added the United Nations Film Festival, not to Sarah MacGillivray-FA’s Box Office mention the wonderful student films which were shown as part of our annual Fine Arts Festival. Manager with her daughter-Lindsay Our list of performances would be hard to list in its entirety, but also includes our summer series MacGillivray ‘10-one of FA’s highest with Livingston Taylor and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band! This just covers the tip of the iceachievers berg at the PAC though, with our student performances of our award winning music department and theater department; the ever changing student art gallery and our very own professional art gallery, the Pace Galleries of Art. The PAC is truly a wonderful place to visit while on campus, stop in for a tour if you haven’t seen this beautiful facility! The theater was also rented by a number of local groups, from Arts in Motion to the local Republican Party. There were very few nights that there was not something going on in the center. You may follow our schedule on the school website. If you’d like to be added to our mailing list and receive updates on upcoming performances, please send your e-mail address to boxoffice@fryeburgacademy.org.

FA ALUMNI ASSOCIATION It is again with pleasure that I report to you on the happenings of the Alumni Board. The Fryeburg Academy Alumni Association was pleased to honor the following students from the class of 2010 with our $200 book awards: Makenzi Brown ‘10, Janna Kurnick ‘10, Jeremy Cahill ‘10, Jacob Dunham ‘10, Katherine Russell ‘10. The two Alumni Association awards were given to Kenedi Hall ‘10 and Brylie Walker ‘10 in the amount of $1,000 each. We are proud of their achievements and share in their gratitude for being recognized with this honor. The Association presented each member of the Class of 2010 with a handsome blue t-shirt embroidered with Fryeburg Academy Alumni on them. These were given out at the class marching practice before Commencement. Our March ski event at Shawnee Peak was a big hit again this year. The fastest female time down the course was Betsy Thibodeau ‘98 and the fastest male was Bond MacGillivray ’85. Entertainment was furnished by a mix of talented FA students and alums and their music was enjoyed by all. Leaving the Board this year will be Scott Leach ‘71, Debbie Dolley ’67 and Betsy Thibodeau ‘98. Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication. Joining the Board will be Robert Hatch ‘64, Scott Lovejoy’77, Cindy Nagy Schoonover ‘78 and David Miller ’84. We are still in need of one more member, please let me know if you are interested. Our annual meeting will be on Saturday, August 21st at 3 p.m. in the Bion R. Cram Library-Pike Conference Room. We will be voting on a new set of bylaws. The new bylaws were drafted by the Academy’s attorney. They contain legal wording to protect the school, the association and its members. The new bylaws include new term limits for its members and a code of ethics.

FA ACADEMICS
Many members of the 2010 graduating class will attend a wide range of excellent colleges and Universities. Boston College, the University of Maine, Tufts, Carnegie Mellon and Stanford are just a few examples. Some have decided to serve our country by joining the military and others will attend a technical school to further develop their skills in a variety of technical fields such as automotive and culinary arts. To meet the needs of our diverse student body, the Academy offers a wide range of course offerings. New advanced courses added in the last few years include Organic Chemistry, Calculus II, AP Computer Science and college level U.S. History taught in conjunction with Syracuse University. For the upcoming academic year we added a college level Anatomy and Physiology course taught in conjunction with White Mountain College. The Academy continues to offer a wide range of courses in the technical arts focusing on wood and metal work, technical drawing, and architectural design. The Fine Arts program continues to excel by offering students award winning options in Music and Drama as well as expanded offerings in Art, Photography and Filmmaking. Today the Academy offers close to Joe Manning 150 different courses. FA Academic Dean The number of offerings will be further increased during the 2010-2011 academic year with the introduction of the May term. In addition to the traditional fall and spring semesters, the Academy’s four-week May term will add a variety of new offerings and also enable students to take courses that they may not have been able to fit into their schedule in the past. The Academy continues to make significant progress in “greening” the campus and its daily activities. The elimination of trays in the dining hall, the solar panel project, increased recycling, and increased low wattage lighting around campus are just a few examples. These changes not only benefit the environment, but they also help the Academy save money in tight economic times. Over the next year the Academic Office hopes to continue this greening trend by shifting as much of the communication from our office as possible from paper and post to electronic mail. Student grades and progress reports will now be sent home by e-mail. Registration forms and updated 2010-2011 student schedules will be mailed home by the first week of August. Parents- please complete and return the registration form to the Academy with a current e-mail address to facilitate this “paperless” transition. Of course, those parents who do not have e-mail will continue to receive report cards and progress reports through the mail. Joe Manning, Academic Dean
FA GUIDANCE
The Guidance & Counseling Department is keeping up with technological changes that are impacting the college search and application process. The relationship between undergraduate admission, technology and the Millennial generation (born in 1982 through 2000) is influencing how we share information, changing the way we communicate, and impacting how prospective students select a particular college or university. To ensure that we remain as effective and efficient in this process, a Web-based college/ career counseling service is now available to our students. Naviance is a college advising program that helps students and their parents with the major aspects of the college admission and planning process. Current seniors were provided with information to access this service and underclassmen will be encouraged to explore their future plans and establish goals by completing a personality assessment, a career interest inventory, research career information, and relate their personal interests to potential fields of study. The new process will allow students to have their college advisor electronically submit their materials to colleges and universities. A college/career day was held this past November where juniors and seniors had the option of Nicole Cote-Crosskill ‘77 visiting area colleges and universities. Fryeburg Academy provided transportation to eight area postFA Director of Guidance secondary institutions in which students participated in tours, ate in their cafeterias, and had the opportunity to have questions answered. Freshmen and sophomores, along with upperclassmen who elected to remain on campus participated in on-campus career presentations. Forty-three presenters from the community volunteered and supported this endeavor by providing first-hand information on various careers. We appreciate their involvement and participation. The goal of the day was to inspire students, promote college aspirations and to increase awareness of various college paths. By the end of December, Fryeburg Academy had hosted over seventy representatives from colleges and universities. This direct contact allowed for seniors and juniors to personally talk with institutions, have questions answered, and obtain information on programs of interests. The ASVAB Career Exploration Program was administered in October and the Accuplacer was administered on campus in February, March, April and May, along with a preparation course to strengthen math skills. Another offering such as “Get Ahead” was provided to help students think about the next step to take after high school. This was presented by Betsy Gemmecke, the Outreach Coordinator from Granite State. A financial aid workshop for families and students was offered in the fall, along with a College Night for juniors and their parents in March, and SAT preparation classes in the spring. Over 80% of our seniors decided to continue their education and attend various colleges. Three individuals elected to pursue a career in the military and others selected a Gap year option or decided to immediately enter the workforce. We are proud of all our students and may the dilemma that future students face be as rewarding as one of our students had to face this year, choosing between Harvard and Stanford University!

FA ANNOUNCES 1st HALL OF EXCELLENCE WINNERS
Cliff Gray ‘23
On Saturday, October 2nd, Fryeburg Academy will hold the inaugural induction ceremony of its newly formed Hall of Excellence. Over the past year the selection committee, made up of former athletes, coaches, teachers, athletic administrators and community members, have met and carefully considered the applications of over fifty candidates who had been nominated for consideration to the Hall. After countless hours of reading through profiles and memorabilia, the committee has chosen 13 of these individuals to be enshrined in the first Hall of Excellence Class.
Scott Kelly ‘53
Of the 13 inductees, six will be inducted posthumously. Those six are, Harvey Dow Gibson 1898, whose contributions to the Academy are immeasurable; Cliff Gray ’23, former coach and Major League pitcher; Rayfield Payne ’55, standout track and cross country athlete; Robert Graustein ’57, and Colin Hurd ’64, both of whom were multi-sport athletes who will be remembered for their service to their country; and Vincent Manoriti ’85, a standout baseball and basketball player who was taken from us all to soon.
Rayfield Payne ‘55
Thomas “Ned” McSherry ‘59
Pat Wood ‘68
The seven remaining inductees include Scott Kelly ’53, former athlete, coach, Athletic Director and teacher and currently the Alumni Coordinator at Fryeburg Academy; Thomas “Ned” McSherry ’59, who was a standout skier, baseball and football player, also a coach and physical educator at the Academy and owner of Saco Bound; Gerald Durgin ’68, three-star athlete in football, basketball and baseball, former teacher, coach and Athletic Director at the Academy and current Athletic Director at Gorham High School; Larry Gallagher ‘64, another threesport standout in football, basketball and baseball, a former coach and assistant Athletic Director at the Academy who is currently a PGA professional; Patricia Wood ’68, a four-sport athlete at Fryeburg lettering in field hockey, basketball, softball and track and who also taught and coached at the Academy for 33 years; Marcus Nash ’89, who played soccer, tennis and was a three-time state champion in cross country skiing and a two-time Olympian in cross country and he currently is an airline pilot; and Jackie Eastman Buzzell ’90, a twelve-letter winner in soccer, basketball and softball; who has also coached at the Academy and who is the Academy’s current strength and conditioning coach. A very impressive line-up in and of itself.
Robert Graustein ‘57
Colin Hurd ‘64
All 53 nominees were ranked by the committee members in four separate categories. Also taken into consideration was the range of the decades of the nominees as the committee looked to achieve a balance. While some may question why a person may not have been elected, no one can question those who were elected. The committee adhered strictly to its guidelines in the nomination process. While anyone may be nominated, those who are nominated were required to fill out an information sheet that gave the committee a consistency of information to work with. If that was not completed, a nominee could not be considered. The inaugural class of the Hall of Excellence will be inducted during the 2010 Homecoming weekend on Saturday, October 2nd. The event will include a brunch along with the induction ceremony and all members will be introduced to the public at half time of that afternoon’s football game.

EYE ON ALUMNI
Allen Torrey ‘41 The Greatest Generation
I went to Western Massachusetts in April on a two-part tour. One stop to visit Chris Hikel ’09 (see Class News) at Williams College in Williamstown, MA, and the other to visit Allen Torrey ’41 and his wife, Sylvia, at their home in Amherst. Allen was born in Weymouth, MA, on March 18, 1923. He had just turned 87 when we sat down for our visit and interview. He had one older sister, Marjorie, born in 1908, now deceased, and one older brother, Ronald, born in 1912, (deceased in 2005). Allen’s mother, Mary Allen Torrey, was a dedicated housewife and his father, Stanley Torrey, was a marine draftsman at Fore River Shipyard in Quincy, MA. Allen says, “Bethlehem Steel Company was an enormous employer. Everybody in Weymouth and Quincy worked at the shipyard. They built aircraft carriers.” Allen attended Weymouth High School for two years. “Whatever I was doing, it was the wrong thing because my mother and father said, ‘We’ll send you to your brother; he’ll straighten you out.’” At that time, Ron Torrey, was now in his third year as a Social Studies teacher, coach and athletic director at Fryeburg Academy. Allen says, “Ron was a very good academic kid. He went on to Bowdoin, majoring in German, and then got his Master’s from Harvard. He was at Fryeburg Academy for about ten years. He married Esther Pike ‘28 of Fryeburg in January of 1944. She had one son, Ed Bessey, who was like Ron’s own. Ron went on to become a high school principal and was very loved and revered, especially as principal Allen “Bud” of Windsor (Vermont) High School from 1959-1977. Ron died Lovell Torrey ‘41 in January of 2005 at age 92.” Allen says of his two years at the Academy, “I loved FA. I loved the people. It was very close-knit. I worked in the kitchen at the Academy and we waited on tables. I enjoyed it – it was good fun. There was no stigma working in the kitchen. Fred Barker ‘41 and Bob Crabtree ‘41 were my closest friends. Bob and I roomed together for those two years. I played football and did track at FA. I did not like being coached by my brother….he knew where I was all the time! He kept a good eye on me and was always checking on my academics. Just the same, my brother was very dear to me and I to him.”
Fryeburg Academy - Class of 1941

“I remember ‘Mister.’ All the boys who were going to college took his math class. He was big in size and kind of gruff. He was very well liked. He was domineering and he ran the place; there was no question about it, he was in charge.” Allen graduated from FA in 1941. “WWII was in full swing. I enrolled at UMaine-Orono and attended for a year and a half. I joined the Air Force and went into the aviation cadet program. I finished the Air Corps program on February 8, 1943, and I became a pilot. We went overseas gradually with our squadron, the 326th Future Pilots with the BT-12 Ferrying Squadron of the 314th Air Transport Timberlake, Tolland, Warren & Allen Torrey ‘41 Group. We provided transport for the 9th Air Force Service Command. Oh yeah, I liked it. It Sylvia & Allen Torrey was kind of a crazy outfit. I had good friends who went with me. We were in the European Theater. It was ‘41-February 1944 very interesting. I was very lucky to get into a transport squadron. It was pretty good duty. We saw a lot of Europe and England and spent our time transporting people and supplies. We didn’t see much combat action but accumulated many hours of flight time. I was over there for two years.” Allen has written an account of his WWII years which will be kept in the FA Archives. Herewith are two excerpts: “In the fall of 1941, I entered the University of Maine at Orono intending to major in civil engineering. Sylvia began her studies at UNH at the very same time. Sylvia and I had dated on and off for several years. The world events that unfolded drew us much closer together.” “My orders to report finally came. I was to report to the Back Bay Station in Boston early on February 8, 1943. My parents drove me to the station. We, along with a couple hundred other would-be cadets and their respective parents, said our goodbyes and I boarded the train, destination unknown. I expect my mother’s last words were to stand up straight and to look for the good of everything; my father probably urged me to be careful and cautious. I had expected to see some of my college friends who were reporting the same day, but they left from Bangor and our paths did not cross again.” “Bob Crabtree ‘41 was my roommate at both FA and UMaine. He was from Hancock, Maine. He had three brothers. Bob was a B24 pilot in the Air Force. He was shot down and killed flying out of Italy in 1945. Two of his brothers were killed in WWII as well. His younger brother, Alan, was exempt from WWII battle due to losing three brothers. Alan Crabtree went on to Yale and the last I knew was living in Hawaii.” After the war was over, Allen reentered the University of Maine for the January 1946 term and finished in 1948 with one of the first BA degrees awarded in Public Management, a new major aimed at municipal government administration. He and Sylvia Steele from Weymouth, MA, were married in January 1946. They have been married for 64 years. Sylvia and Allen knew each other at Weymouth High School. Sylvia says, “When he went off to Fryeburg, I made many trips up there. I went to his commencement with his parents. We had different friends for a while. I went to UNH, he went to Maine. In the end, he would come home for vacations and somehow we always got together.” Sylvia earned her BA degree in English from UNH and was recruited by US Army Intelligence. “During those days at UNH you could load your schedule so I got my degree in 3 ½ years instead of 4. There were three of us from UNH who signed up and went to Washington DC and served as cryptographers during wartime. I was in the Japanese division. It was a very exciting time.” The Torreys have three sons; Allen was born in November 1946, Phillip in January 1948 and David in June 1954. Allen lives in Chapel Hill, NC, and he is a newspaper journalist and editor for the Raleigh News and Observer. Phillip is in the construction business and lives in Amherst. David is a sales representative for the medical equipment company, Stryker. Allen and Sylvia also have three grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. Allen’s career was mostly in Public Administration. He was Allen “Bud” Torrey ‘41 at his home in Allen with his three sons and grandson on one of their many the Town Manager for Lancaster, Amherst, MA NH, and Camden, ME. In 1954 ski trips. -13Fryeburg Academy, 745 Main Street, Fryeburg, Maine 04037, (207) 935-2001 x 3137, www.fryeburgacademy.org, e-mail-alumni@fryeburgacademy.org
he became the first town manager of Amherst, MA. After 22 years in that position, he decided it was time for a change. In 1976 he became the Treasurer and Chief Business Officer of Hampshire College in Amherst which was just beginning. He retired from there in 1990. Allen is very proud of Hampshire College and his history with the school. He is also proud of the fact that the town of Amherst is within the area of five excellent colleges (Amherst College, Hampshire College, Smith College, UMass Amherst & Mount Holyoke). “Hampshire College graduated their first class in 1972. They will celebrate their 40th anniversary in June of 2012. Hampshire is an extremely liberal school. It was an experimental college and really still is. Ken Burns is a graduate of Hampshire College.” Allen fondly remembers learning to ski from Hannes Schneider and is very proud of the story of Harvey Gibson bringing the Schneiders to this area from threats in Germany. “Harvey Dow Gibson knew Hannes Schneider from banking circles, and he had influence and arranged to get the Schneiders out of Austria and the very real possibility of being sent to concentration camps. I learned to ski from Hannes Schneider, a real pro, when I was 16. I feel very fortunate for that gift. At FA we skied at Jockey Cap. The Academy required everyone to ski and skiing has been very important in my life. I have skied many places with my sons and grandchildren. Esther Pike Torrey ’28 was really interested in skiing and we all went out west many times. By the way, John Atwood-FA Former Faculty (Business, Skiing, Athletics) was a good friend of Sylvia’s at UNH.” Sylvia spent her career as a teacher and raising their three sons. She says, “Raising three boys was fun. The first two were only 14 months apart. They were sort of like Allen Torrey ‘41 with his wife, Sylvia puppies always rolling around together.” Allen’s advice to high school students today, “Be willing to experiment and be innovative.” Sylvia adds, “You have so many advantages. A place like Fryeburg is to be appreciated especially in its natural setting. Girls have the world open to them now. In my day, we were supposed to be school teachers and nurses but not any longer. Education makes such a difference in everyone’s life. And if you have a great work ethic, like Allen did, you will have a meaningful career. I’d also add, don’t be afraid to be anything. In my day being a woman doctor was a rarity. Not now. You can be an astronaut, a minister, women are in every field. There have been a lot of changes in 64 years. All good!” The Torreys were recreational golfers. Sylvia still plays on occasion but Allen’s health will not allow it. Allen enjoys reading and belongs to a men’s group. For many years, Allen and Sylvia have spent at least one month in Florida and plan to continue to do so. It was my honor to meet Allen and Sylvia and to listen to the story of their lives. So much can be learned from listening. Email Allen Torrey ’41 at: atorrey@hotmail.com. Written by Rachel Andrews Damon ‘76

A Report on the Entrepreneurial Studies Program at Fryeburg Academy by Jim Wilfong ‘64 In the spring of 2008, I approached Dan Lee and A.O. Pike ‘57 with an idea to create an entrepreneurial studies program at Fryeburg Academy. Headmaster Lee and the Board of Trustees decided to offer the program that September. We were able to quickly form a partnership with the Center for Entrepreneurship at the University of Southern Maine School of Business that offered depth and credibility for our program. We had a vision to offer a creative strategic planning process for Academy students and Jim Wilfong ‘64 teaches entrepreneurial in partnership with USM, to also offer the skills at FA Kaufman Foundation’s Fast Trac course to Joana Steinbuck ‘10 & Aubrey Wissmann the Western Maine small business commu‘10 - FA Entrepreneurial Students nity, which we did last fall to 18 students on six Saturdays. In addition, we have begun a plan to present to Academy faculty, students and the greater Fryeburg community a series of seminars on various subjects concerning entrepreneurial economics and small business development. The first session was held in May and was focused on the marketing of new or alternative agriculture. The entrepreneurship program focuses on writing a business plan from an entrepreneur’s point of view. The subjects covered are: vision, mission, values, the development of an entrepreneurial culture, marketing (domestic and international), sales development, operations and financial planning. In addition, we stress the importance of critical thinking, calculated risk taking, supply and demand management and problem solving strateAubrey Wissmann’s parents listen to presentations along with gies for a business startJay Brenchick ‘78 up. We also place our discussions in the context of the current global economic situation. We take field trips to interesting small businesses, and we have guest speakers who have various expertise in the subject matters of entrepreneurial development. The program delivery is similar to a college format. We expect the students to be self-starters and motivated. The students may choose any Jianfeng Liu ‘12 & Ang Xu ‘11, business idea that interests them and develop a business plan for it. At the end of the FA Entrepreneurial Students spring semester they must present the plan to the Headmaster, selected members of the facility and business community. I am excited and privileged to be teaching this course to Academy students. They have such great ideas, and I am very proud of their work. The business concepts have ranged from “green” business ideas to specialized consumer goods, from tea factories to an international student handbook, from high tech business to a youth lifestyle retail store in Ho Chi Minh City and also a summer outdoor jazz club in Kyrgyzstan that was open for seven weeks last summer and I am told it made a net profit of approximately $2300! Not bad for a $500 start-up investment. We have 19 students who have signed up for this fall’s semester. I would really like to have more students who are interested in starting a business in the trades. After all, it is great to be a first class auto mechanic or an electrician, but if you start your own business you will need to know business basics. This year also provides a great opportunity for Fryeburg Academy students to again be involved in National Entrepreneur’s Week. The State of Maine organizers will feature Fryeburg Academy’s program as a “poster child” for entrepreneurial education for high school students and the community’s entrepreneurs and small business operators.

Taking a big cut!
Safe at home! Once again the Fryeburg Academy girls softball team made the trip to the State Championship game. It was the third consecutive year for the Raiders. After defeating Lisbon, Gray and Maranacook, the Raiders faced Hermon for the title. This year it was not to be as Fryeburg fell short of the three-peat, by a score of 6-1. This team reached goals beyond all expectations this season and because of that, they will go into next season with the mindset of returning to the playoffs and once again playing for a state title.
and she can run!!
Just back in time!

Dan Lee & David Sturdevant preside over Commencement; Reverend Sage Currie; Asa O. Pike IV ‘57-President FA Board of Trustees & Dan Lee Excerpts from Commencement Speech by Jeremy Holden ‘10 delivered on June 6, 2010: “While in high school, we teens begin to get the ‘feeling.’. The ‘feeling’ is something that makes all parents cower in fear - ‘entitlement.’ My mother still says to me, ‘ Just wait! You’re going to have kids someday, and they’re going to be just like you, dishing out the same crap you’re giving me’. To which I reply, ‘Well, Mom, if you had learned your lesson when your parents told you the same thing, then neither of us would be having this problem right now.’ She hates it when I do that... ...That’s one of the sad parts about going to college. I mean, for most of us, it’s a new beginning. But, also, it’s an ending. The people we have been surrounded by for the past twelve years aren’t going to be around next year. We pass each other in the halls on the way to class; or sometimes we don’t even see people at all that we used to be friendly with.... However, in light of that, it makes us appreciate the time that we have with loved ones, and the friendships we make that last a lifetime. I have, and I’m sure all of us here have, friends and family that we’ve shared experiences with, good and bad; and through those experiences, created an even stronger bond between each other. No matter what, the people we love are going to be there, even in the toughest situations. I can honestly say that I love my friends and family, and cherish the time I’ve had with all of them. I hope everyone in this class feels the same. As a class, we’ve made it through schooling with the love of our friends, our families, and collectively as a class. I’m going to end my speech with a quote from a Beatles song, which I am going to sing, because that’s what I do...There are places I remember all my life, though some have changed; some forever not for better, some have gone and some remain; all these places have their moments; with lovers and friends I still can recall; some are dead and some are living, in my life, I love them all.” Kenedi Hall ‘10; Kelley Hodgman-Burns-FA Director of Residential Life & Tracy Weitz-FA Faculty (ESL Chair); Commencement Speakers-Tevin Johnson ‘10, Alex Garrett ‘10 & Jeremy Holden ‘10

Section by Jane Lounsbury (jlounsbury@fryeburgacademy.org) 1941 Irene Kenerson Yoder ’41 writes, “This is the 24th winter I’ve spent in FL. I summer at my place on Kezar Lake. I’m ashamed to admit I have not visited the new library or the Performing Arts Center. This summer for sure! I remember the ‘old library’ to you, the ‘new library’ to me. We Home Ec. girls had a fashion show of the clothes we had made in front of the beautiful fireplace. That would have been 1939 or 1940.” Irene served as Grand Marshal for Fryeburg’s Memorial Day Parade. (The Bridgton News 6/3/10)
Charlie Perkins ‘47 sent in this photo of his uncle Dr. Leo C. Lemieux ‘20 in 1965 examining Cassius Clay aka Muhammed Ali before a fight in Lewiston. Charles says his uncle claimed Clay/Ali was the best physically fit person he had ever seen.
1943 Sylvia Shaw Lydick ’43 writes, “I am still leasing a condo (since 2006) at Brydon Farms, Westbrook, ME, (Prides Corner area) and enjoying it very much. Was in Naples, FL, last winter and sorry I did not get to see the Murklands (Fred ’43 and Pat Barker ’43); but maybe next winter. I’m staying active as possible at 84 yrs.! Would love to see more alumni!” 1946 Lefty Homans ’46 writes, “In January of each year, the U.S Masters Swimming Association holds a One Hour Postal Meet nationwide. The goal
is to swim as far as you can for one hour. I was 7th in my age group with 2400 yards (I wanted to do 2500 yards). Guess I’m getting old !!” 1947 Hubert Clemons ’47 has retired from his position as Newsletter Editor of the Hiram Historical Society. Hubert has been the editor since the first issue in 1981, except for 15 issues. Over 125 issues have been published under his guidance. His dedication is much appreciated. We are grateful for the knowledge he shares and all he has done to further the mission of the Society. We are pleased he will continue in his capacity as Secretary to the Society and Town Historian. (The Hiram Historic Society Newsletter – spring 2010) Al “Red” Seavey ’47 writes, “Sorry that I cannot attend (Reunion) for the first time in many years. I am undergoing dialysis three days/week. My thoughts will be with you.”

A friend who recently attended an event at the Academy wrote us, ‘It looks like a college campus!!’ We are proud to be alumni.” Clifford E. Manchester ‘41 stopped by the FA Office
Charlie Perkins ’47 sent in this photo of Martha Coe Ritchie ’47 from when she was in China. (He said this was “reported” in Scenes before, but there was no photo with it – “As you can see, she is an active senior!”

John Douglas ’51 writes, “We (John & Irene) spend most of our time in Brewer and Eastern Maine, working on home projects (gardening, etc.) and attending local events, like the Bangor Folk Festival and the Senior Little League World Series held in Bangor each August on the field Stephen King built.” John sent us some photos from the Softball Championship Game in Brewer. “Sorry we lost the game, but I understand that Fryeburg really had a great year in softball and should be stronger than ever next year! …I was very fortunate to have attended F.A., with people like Elroy LaCasce, Ted Blaich, Cliff Gray ‘23 and others, to set me on the right track in life.”
And later in the Twentieth Century Came a great man to be admired. Mr. LaCasce led the school for 33 years Until he passed the staff and retired.

He is now in the Veteran’s Victory Hospital, a brand new facility that is truly a tribute to our veterans! The people there are taking such great care of him, and I am sure that is why he is getting along so well. I know he would enjoy hearing from his ‘old friends’ at school, either a card or a note, and perhaps even pictures from the ‘good old days,’ as well as any that are more current. He retired from the U.S. Navy after 20 years of service and was working in the Charleston Navy Yard before this misfortune happened. His address is: Veteran’s Victory House, Leslie Bixby, B Wing, 2461 Sidney’s Rd., Walterboro, SC 29488. We are sorry we don’t get to visit him more often. Perhaps if any of our classmates are on their way to FL, Walterboro is just off of Rt. 95, exit 56 or 57. Check it out on the map!”

Don has been doing this fast-paced, pack-oriented sport for four years with his hunting dogs. But he’s now, like a lot of new skijoring fans in Maine, a dog owner who loves action with dogs that crave it – German shorthairs. For less than $100 a Nordic skier can get the lead line, dog harness and human harness needed in this sport. All that is required beyond that is a love of speed and a dog, and many borrow the latter. “The skier simply wears a back brace that is strapped by a flexible lead line to the dog’s full-body harness. It doesn’t take long for both to figure out how this works,” Don says. (The Bridgton News 1/21/10 & 2/11/10)

David R. Hastings II 1942, 85, of Fryeburg, Maine, died peacefully on Feb. 14, 2010, surrounded by his family. His parents were Hugh W. Hastings 1907 and Martha Fifield Hastings 1909. David was born in Fryeburg and, after spending some years away serving in the Army Air Corps during World War II and attending school, David returned to Fryeburg, where he lived and Doris Hartford Bryant ‘37 worked for the rest of his life. David was admitted to Bowdoin College in 1942. David’s college years were interrupted when he enlisted in the Army Air Corps as soon as he was old enough to contribute to the war effort. David became a flight navigator and had several domestic postings before the end of the war. After being discharged from the Army Air Corps, David graduated from Bowdoin College and moved to Cambridge, Mass., where he attended Harvard Law School. While living in Cambridge, David met and fell in love with his wife, Doris. They married on Jan. 18, 1947. Upon David’s graduation from law school in 1949, David and Doris returned to Fryeburg to live, bringing with them Doris’ two young sons, Bob ‘57 and John Graustein ‘59. David and Doris later expanded their family by adding two more children, David III ’68 and Ann ‘70, and for some years the family further expanded to David R. Hastings II ‘42 include David’s nephews, Ned and Bill, whose mother had died while her husband, a career Navy officer, was committed to sea duty. Although Ned and Bill were able to return to their father once his sea duty ended, David and Doris both always had a special place in their hearts for them and their families. David had a long and successful career as an attorney. When he returned to Fryeburg he joined his father, Hugh, in the family law practice, which had been established in 1847 by David’s greatgrandfather and namesake. David worked in the family law practice for his entire adult life, having worked there together over the years with both his brother, Peter ‘53, and his son, David III ‘68. His last day of work at the law office was the day before he entered the hospital for the treatment of his final illness. Some highlights of David’s career were his appointment to the Maine Governor’s Council, being elected three times as county attorney for Oxford County, serving as chairman of the board of trustees for Fryeburg Academy, serving on the board of directors of Carroll County Trust Company, later on the board of directors of Indian Head Bank, and serving as chairman of the board of

directors of Consumers Water Company. In addition to his other accomplishments, David spent more than 50 years as secretary, trustee, finance committee member and, in his last years, president of Fryeburg Fair. His participation in the development of Fryeburg Fair into what it has become today was a matter of great pride to David. It was also a matter of great pride to David that his and Doris’ children, John, David III and Ann, all followed in his footsteps and became attorneys. David loved family gatherings, where there was never a shortage of opinions to be expressed. David loved to ski with his family, play golf with his friends and watch baseball, especially the Red Sox. David loved his wife with all his heart, and in their later years together, when her health declined, David was Doris’ constant and devoted caretaker. One of the greatest tragedies in David’s life occurred when Doris’ son, Lt. Cmdr. Robert S. Graustein, a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy and a naval aviator, whom David loved as his own, was killed in action in December of 1972 during his third tour of duty in Vietnam. It was a comfort to David that Bob’s widow, now Duddie Andrews, returned to Fryeburg to live with their three sons after Bob’s death. David’s beloved wife, Doris, died before him in November of 2009. David is survived by Doris’ son, John A. Graustein and wife, Barbara, of Falmouth, Maine; a son David R. Hastings III and wife, Carol, of Fryeburg; a daughter, Ann E.

Evelyn Woodbury, Fryeburg Academy friend, died on April 13, 2010 at the age of 100. From behind the breakfast counter at Hayes Drugstore in Portland, Evelyn smith poured a cup of coffee for Wendell Woodbury, in town for a visit from his home in North Conway, N.H. Evelyn, the eldest of seven children, was born in Jackson, NH on October 18, 1909 to Mabel & Clifton Smith, had once worked for Mr. Woodbury as a caregiver for his ailing wife. When the wife improved, Evelyn was without a job and moved to Portland to seek other employment. Years later, after Wendell’s first marriage had ended in divorce, he remembered the spirited young blonde from Jackson. When he located her in Portland, Wendell began what he surely hoped would be a brief and successful courtship. But Evelyn was no pushover. It would take seven years of weekend visits, and several thousand miles on Wendell’s car, before Evelyn accepted his marriage proposal. On Feb. 18, 1940, they married at Wendell’s uncle Harvey Dow Gibson’s 1898 house in North Conway; today the site of the Gibson Center for Senior Services. Following the ceremony, the couple embarked on a European honeymoon cruise, courtesy of the Gibsons. Evelyn, raised in a family of modest means (like many families in Jackson, hers could not afford bus fare when Kennett High School opened, so Evelyn never went past the eight grade) now an entirely new world was suddenly opened to her. In North Conway, Evelyn and Wendell settled into Wendell’s Victorianstyle house on Main Street. The house was a gift from Harvey Gibson when Wendell was appointed as his uncle’s North Conway agent in 1927. When the US entered WWII, Harvey Gibson was appointed the American Red Cross Commissioner to Great Britain. Evelyn worked diligently to organize and motivate local women for weekly Red Cross sewing sessions in a room in the Gibson Block to make gauze bandages for wounded soldiers. This experience would be the spark that ignited a strong philanthropic desire in Evelyn. A tireless worker, Evelyn was employed at various Gibson businesses over the years, including the Eastern Slope Inn and Cranmore. Evelyn never forgot her humble beginnings and her most earnest desire was to continue to enhance and contribute to her beloved community long after she had passed. Evelyn was predeceased by her husband, Wendell Woodbury; her sister, Thelma Hodgdon and her brother, Everett Smith. She is survived by two sisters, Myrtie Maynard and Elaine Farrugia; as well as two brothers, Clifton and Maurice Smith. Evelyn will be greatly missed by her surviving siblings; as well as her many friends, nieces and nephews, especially the Butterfield family of North Conway, who were her caregivers for many years.

You have just enjoyed our Summer 2010 issue of Scenes. Now we need you to help us. A little Q&A with Rachel Andrews Damon ‘76: How many alums went to the Academy? We have 11,074 alums listed in our database. We retain all alumni names and information forever. 1,963 of the 11,074 are deceased. Of those 11,074, we don’t have good addresses on 3,175. The rest, 7,899, comprise our FA alumni group that we correspond with regularly. Rachel Andrews Damon ‘76-Director of Annual Giving at FA-Photo taken in 1976 by Scott Sinclair ‘76 in Mr. Kelly’s Biology Classroom
How many of those 7,899 donate to FA? 1,879 alums of these 7,899 have given to the Academy at least once in their lifetimes. That’s about 24%. That seems low? It is. Do you expect all alums to give to FA? Yes. Why? Because we are a non-profit school which had substantial significance in the lives of our alums. We educate local students and boarding students. We’ve been doing this for 218 years. Fryeburg Academy is an incredible source of pride for us, for this town and for the boarding students who became members of our family. Education is a mission that improves the world - there is no doubt about it. When we were students here, there were donors making lots of things happen behind the scenes. Now we need to do it for current and future students. The Academy looks so nice with all the new buildings and beautiful landscaping and you have all the dorm students paying almost $40,000 a year to go there. Why do I need to give? In the 70’s we had about 400 students at FA, now we have 650. We had to expand. With the fire, we had to rebuild. No options. We have been fortunate to have had some wonderful donations along with some creative financing adjustments by FA leadership. Many of our existing buildings are in need of serious repair. We have 22 buildings here at FA. The apartments in the Alumni House have been deemed unlivable. FA trustees are addressing this building now. Facilities and maintenance are an ongoing battle at an old school like ours. As for the dorm students, many are given financial aid, and are not paying the full $40,000, but some are. The costs of educating and caring for boarding students keeps rising at private schools throughout the world because it is very expensive to provide the solid education and 24/7 care high school students require. We are grateful to our Admissions Department for acquiring such great kids. They come and they love it here. And we love them. The recipe of local students and boarding students is what makes Fryeburg Academy work and is what makes FA only one of seven institutions like this in the U.S. Again it is a source of pride for all of us who have been privileged enough to attend. How much does Scenes cost to produce? Scenes costs about $2.50 per issue and that is only the hard costs of printing and postage. That $2.50 does not take into account the staff time which is enormous. So you mail Scenes to about 6,000 people who never give? That is correct. Have you considered stopping? Yes and we probably will. We may go to a subscriber system. In other words, for a minimum per year donation, an alum will continue to get Scenes. How much is raised each year in annual giving for FA? Anywhere from $400,000-$600,000. What are your annual giving goals? I would like to see alums, as a whole, give $1,000,000 a year. That won’t happen unless more alums make the effort to help Fryeburg Academy every year. So you work at Fryeburg Academy, this must be why you want us to give money? I suppose that could be part of it. But the bigger part is that I have always loved FA. I gave to FA before I started working here. It’s a great place. Is it perfect? No. It’s a place that had a huge impact on my life in a positive way and I know that to be true for many, many others. OK Rachel, tell us what you want us to do and how much because I love getting Scenes and I also love FA. Let me just say, I know extra money is hard to come by. A donation can be whatever you can afford. “Just Do It”, as Nike says. The easiest way to donate is online. Go to www.fryeburgacademy.org. Or you can send a check in the envelope in every issue of Scenes; or you can call us at (207) 935-2001 x 3137 and donate with a credit card or make a pledge; and now we have an authorization form which can make regular account deductions very easy. Many people use this way to have small but regular amounts taken out. It all adds up. Email me at rdamon@fryeburgacademy.org. Many thanks - and remember - Always a Raider!
