Head of School’s Report
B
efore I arrived on campus in August, when I told friends that I was leaving my position at St. Paul’s School to move to South Kent they generally asked me the same question: “What is South Kent School like?” I readily launched into explanations of what SKS is with great pride and excitement. The more often I did this, however, the more projects and programs I included in my descriptions, the longer my responses became, and my friends started checking their watches as I added yet another “And we also do….” This question and my responses illustrated to me that while the School has to be nimble and creative in order to meet the shifting demands of an increasingly complex world, Head of School (Interim) Simplicity of Life, Self-Reliance and Directness of Purpose are still the bedrock of all that Lawrence A. Smith we do on the Hillside. Since I have been on campus, the question I have heard most often is, “What is different about SKS today from when you were involved in the School community thirty years ago?” Invariably, my answer is roughly the same as the thinking behind my response to the first question: while the School has to be nimble and creative in order to meet the shifting demands of an increasingly complex world, Simplicity of Life, Self-Reliance and Directness of Purpose are still the bedrock of all that we do on the Hillside. Today’s South Kent incorporates many new and exciting facets. We offer over 50 courses of study to a student body of 170 boys from 22 states and 20 countries, all based on our unique form programming which provides teaching and learning opportunities, thoughtfully sequenced in a developmentally appropriate, all-boy learning environment. We have a partnership with Syracuse University through which students can earn Syracuse credit for courses they take here. We embrace the impact of technology on today’s culture and are confident in how we understand and manage these challenges. On our North Campus we have greenhouses and an industrial-grade kitchen, chickens and goats that all require care, and the entrance to our eight miles of trails used by our new mountain biking team. Our athletes excel on a national level through our innovative athletic program. We place students in top colleges and universities throughout the country, making our matriculation list as strong as it has been in years. Yet, we have made these improvements and adjustments in ways that still hold dear the essence and basic tenets that have always made SKS so special. We are still the same place, remodeled and improved, as it were, for the 21st century. My professional career is laid on the foundation of my education at South Kent, which has not only been a constant but has also always held true. I feel well-prepared for the challenges that lie ahead, building on this foundation of forty years of teaching and administrative experience at other schools, and founding and working in progressive education programs at the high school and graduate school levels. My primary focus for the past two decades has been professional development for teachers, specifically in the areas of learning and teaching. At South Kent School we serve well a broad array of remarkably talented students, and we are dedicated to helping each boy succeed in college and beyond as thoughtful and caring friends, fathers, and husbands, and engaged world citizens. It is for all of the above reasons that I am thrilled to return home, and I feel truly fortunate to have the opportunity to be the third South Kent alumnus to serve as Head of School on the Hillside. Regards,
Lawrence A. Smith headofschool@southkentschool.org

his past August, Lawrence A. Smith ’73 stepped up and took over as Interim Head of School. Many in the SKS community already know Lawrence, but for those of you who don’t, or would like to know him better, here is a brief introduction. Lawrence, along with his two sisters Ellen and Margaret, the children of former South Kent faculty members Art and Maggie Smith, spent his childhood on the Hillside. A member of the Class of 1973, Lawrence has fond memories of his time on the Hillside, classes in the Schoolhouse, and afternoons spent in a shell out on Hatch Pond with good friends. After SKS, Lawrence continued his education at Princeton University, earning a B.A. in history, and then later went on to the University of New Hampshire for his masters, also in history. After college, Lawrence returned to the Hillside and from 1978-1987 served as a teacher, coach, Director of Admissions, and Dean of Students. From SKS he went on to work at Phillips Exeter Academy for 22 years where he held the roles of history teacher and department chair, Associate Dean of Faculty, varsity crew coach and dorm head. At Exeter, Smith was honored with the Brown Family Excellence in Teaching Award, and the David Swift Advising Award. Most recently, Smith was the Dean of Teaching and Learning as well as a teacher and coach at St. Paul’s School. There, he and wife Relinde de Greef served as co-directors of the Penn Residency Master’s in Teaching Residency program. Smith developed the School’s Integrated Curriculum and faculty professional development program. Throughout his life Smith has maintained his connections to South Kent, and for the past four years has served with distinction on the SKS Board of Trustees, chairing the Education and Student Life Committee, the Governance Committee, and serving on the Executive Committee. Smith now brings his nearly 40 years of experience and reputation in secondary education, as a teacher, a coach, and an academic administrator, back to the Hillside. He is well respected throughout the School community and in secondary education nationally. As Interim Head of School, Smith will work closely with South Kent’s alumni, students, parents, faculty, and staff to continue the School’s progress. We are very fortunate to have someone like Lawrence Smith, who is exceptionally qualified and knows our School so well, rejoin the community and lead South Kent.

Chapel Fire
“Campus is quiet. It’s just about 11:30 p.m. and all the students have been checked into their rooms for lights out. The cool April evening air settles across the Hillside and the sound of crickets chirping carries up from Lew’s Lagoon. It’s a typical Tuesday evening at South Kent School. As I settle in to sleep, there is a loud knock on my door. I groggily stumble to the door and open it, and suddenly, I am very awake.
‘THE CHAPEL IS ON FIRE! COME OUTSIDE RIGHT NOW!’ Arriving on the scene, I look up to see smoke billowing from the bell tower of St. Michael’s Chapel and, in horror, my eyes travel to the Sacristy. It is engulfed in flames, flickering bright against the dark blue sky.” -Andrew Vadnais, April 18, 2017.
F
aculty and students gathered and watched in horror, alternating between staring, hugging, praying, communicating with the brave firefighters who had arrived, and helping move relics saved from the flames into McCoun Dormitory’s common room, where residents had originally gathered to be together and watch out the window as shocking events unfolded. Seeing that the chalice had been recovered by the first responders, South Kent School chaplain Father Stephen B. Klots began to walk the campus, offering communion and prayers to faculty and students. Amid the chaos, this simple act by Klots began to spread peace and unity across campus. “At about 2:30 a.m., I felt a hand on my shoulder in the dark and heard ‘May the Lord be with you,’ as a Communion host was passed into my hands. Father and I hugged and promised that we would rise above this,” said former Head of School Andrew J. Vadnais.

A proverbial “light in the darkness” was that the main chapel was saved, thanks to the quick actions of the students in Woodward Dormitory, who smelled the smoke and reported it; science teacher Emily Carreiro for taking that information and informing various faculty members while calling 9-1-1; and finally, the Kent Volunteer Fire Department, who arrived within 12 minutes of receiving the call. Shortly after the events of April 18, 2017, Vadnais reflected: “Their decisive actions and bravery amidst the open flames were beyond impressive. Even now as I reflect back to the events of Tuesday night, I am struck by their courage and willingness to act in such dangerous circumstances...the Kent Volunteer Fire Department saved St. Michael’s Chapel that night, pure and simple.” In addition to Kent, firehouses from Warren, Gaylordsville, The Water Witch Hose Co., and Northville all joined in the valiant efforts to stop the blaze.
“We will rebuild.”
T
hose were the words from Father Klots that night. With no one hurt and the main chapel salvageable, the entire community gave thanks. The following day, nearly every student along with a number of faculty members volunteered to help prepare the Assembly Hall to temporarily host worship services. “It is a blessing to see the faculty and the boys in action,” Klots said. Alumni, board members, parents, and community members not only gave words of support, but many went a step further and donated to the reconstruction process. For months, “chapel” relocated to the Robert J. Geer Assembly Hall. Thanks to the careful planning by the school administration, the help of generous donors, and the team reconstructing the chapel, St. Michael’s reopened in its unique, simple splendor just in time for the heartwarming Lessons and Carols service at Christmastime. Just a year after the fire, a formal rededication service took place, with many of the first responders present to receive thanks for helping save the chapel. Countless alumni and community members attest that St. Michael’s Chapel is unequivocally more than just a building, and now restored and returned to its place as the “heart” of campus, what was once nearly lost has been made right. Although the chapel fire is now in the in the past, those present will certainly never forget.

Rededication
It was a momentous spring evening as the faculty, staff, and students were joined by alumni and friends for the Rededication of St. Michael’s Chapel. The fire occurred just over a year ago, and the chapel has been beautifully restored since then.
T
he Rt. Rev. Ian T. Douglas, Bishop Diocesan of The Episcopal Church in Connecticut was the celebrant. The Rev. Stephen B. Klots gave the sermon, speaking of memories from the night of the fire and how God’s grace led him to say prayers and offer the sacrament to students and faculty on campus at the time. “My friends, one year and six days ago I asked for your prayers when we suffered a terrible fire in St. Michael’s Chapel here at South Kent School. Tonight we celebrated its rededication in a service presided over by the Rt. Rev. Ian Douglas, Bishop of Connecticut. Thank you to all for your prayers, kind words, and support over this last year. The chapel is beautiful, and the service was amazing. Thanks be to God!” said The Reverend Stephen B. Klots at the close of the service. The Kent Volunteer Fire Department, as well as other first responders from Gaylordsville, were honored with a standing ovation. Additionally, the Class of 1967 donated a new silver communion set, which was blessed with a prayer.

Visiting clergy included The Rt. Rev. Donald Hart ‘55, Bishop of Hawaii (retired); The Rev. Michael Corrigan ’64; The Rev. Kate Kelderman, Chaplain, Kent School; The Rev. David McIntosh, Associate Rector, St. Andrew’s Church, Kent; The Rev. Roger White, Rector, St. Andrew’s Church, Kent; The Rev. Andrew Zeman ‘64, Rector, St. George’s Church, Middlebury, and The Rev. Salin Low. Multiple South Kent School students read scripture and prayers aloud, the piano prelude was played by Yunhai “Oliver” Zhao ’19, and the Student/Faculty Chorus sweetly sang the Communion Anthem, “Locus Iste.” This special service was followed by a delicious prime rib dinner welcoming all attendees in the dining hall. We thank everyone who took part in the rededication and are grateful to all our alumni and friends who supported the Chapel in the rebuilding process!

National Champions!
USPHL 2017-2018 U18 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS!
After five consecutive appearances at the USA Hockey National Championships, one of our South Kent Selects Academy teams has done it. This tournament showcases the top 16 Tier I Midget AAA Youth Hockey teams in the country, and after a season focusing on commitment, emotional balance, belief, and teamwork, our boys achieved their dream. The Season: “This is Our Time”
S
tarting at the beginning of the season, U18 Coach Matt Plante purposefully set a positive mindset, pushing doubts aside, believing that “this is our time” and “we are in a position to win.” He repeated to his players throughout the season that there was no reason they couldn’t win the National Championship with hard work, perseverance, commitment, and unity. Plante and his coaching

staff also placed a focus on managing emotion so that players would stay calm with eyes set on the end game, whether falling behind or making a goal. “Win your next shift. If we win the battles, we win the war,” he said. These mantras deeply resonated with the team. U18 forward Michael Gebhardt ’18 said it was helpful for him to remember, “When we made a mistake in the last shift, we would just need to forget the last one and move forward to the next shift we were on.”
With the student-athletes going to school together, living together, and playing together, South Kent teams are tightknit. “We’ve been really blessed with not only great players but great human beings. Sure, you need great hockey players, but it’s just as important to have great kids with that buy-in and that impenetrable bond,” Plante said. “We’re a family! We preached, ‘That’s gotta mean something.’ The other teams have terrific hockey players, but do they grind away every day together like we do for eight months? I knew if we could stay together like we did all year, we could overcome anything together.” Although a powerful group, the team suffered a disappointing loss to Mid Fairfield in the Connecticut State Tournament and did not qualify for the New England Regional Tournament in November, which meant the automatic bid to Nationals was not an option. The coaches kept encouraging their players to stay confident and to ask, “Why shouldn’t this be our time?” And it worked. Not only did the team win the U18 USPHL Championship, but they had only five regulation losses in the entire season, only two of which were by more than one goal. Nationals Sure enough, the U18s received one of the at-large invitations to Nationals. After winning their bracket against the #4 ranked team in the country, Cape Cod Whalers, it was on to the quarterfinals. Every game from that point forward was against a Top-10 team (with our boys ranked #2 in the nation), each team made up of “all-stars” from various prep schools throughout New England. They were dominated in the quarterfinal game against #3 ranked Yale Jr. Bulldogs. They had to weather the storm and fortunately, were only down 1-0 at the end of the first period. “We’ve seen their best. They haven’t seen our best yet. We’re going to show them our best,” Coach Plante encouraged the team. They fought hard to get the game tied, and the game ended in regulation at 1-1 sending the game into overtime. In the first overtime period they outshot Yale 8-0 and eventually, senior captain Jake Veilleux buried the game-winner, moving the team one step closer towards their ultimate goal. The semifinal game faced CCYHA against the #8 ranked Eastern Massachusetts Senators. The U18s got off to a fast start in the first two periods and although the team pulled off a 7-2 win, Plante said, “I give Eastern Mass a lot of credit. They didn’t quit. They made a push at the start of the third period and played their best game.”
The Finals: Making History Now, the stage was set for the National Title game. They would again face the Cape Cod Whalers. The first period was competitive, but with just over a minute left, forward Shane Pinto ’18 banged home the rebound from a shot made by defenseman Zac Jones ’19, giving them a 1-0 lead! The crowd went wild, which included a number of South Kent students, parents, and faculty members who made the trip to bring some fan support from home. Dressed in red and black, holding signs, and cheering, the South Kent fanbase was strong. In the second, Captain forward Kyle Haskins ’18 sniped a feed from Pinto with 3:33 remaining in the period. It was important for the team to not celebrate prematurely before the final buzzer, though. “After each goal, Coach Plante went around calming us,” Gebhardt said. It was okay to get excited, but it was vital for each player to keep his head in the game. Unfortunately, in the third, Cape Cod pushed back and scored 2 goals in just over 11 minutes, bringing the championship game to a nail-biting tie. Our boys remained calm; immediately taking control after the tie, forward Zach Schrock ’18 scored a rebound shot of his own off a point shot from defenseman Alex Murray ’18 with 6:30 left in the third. Forward Andrew DeCarlo ’19 also picked up an assist on this goal. At this point, it was still anyone’s game and the nerves could be felt throughout the arena. After a huge penalty kill with only 2:26 left in regulation and Cape Cod’s goalie pulled, Pinto was the beneficiary of a fortunate bounce where the puck found its way onto his stick and he finished off the play skating the puck down and depositing it into an empty net, giving us a 4-2 lead. Amazingly, they weren’t done yet. Veilleux scored another empty-netter, icing the game with a final score of 5-2. As the seconds ticked down, the South Kent School faithful counted the clock down, and as the final buzzer rang out, fans in the stands and players on the ice cheered loudly, knowing that South Kent was bringing home their very first USA Hockey National Championship. “It feels good to know all of the hard work over the season and the focus on the little details every day have paid off,” Defenseman Hunter Toale ’18 said. Haskins added, “I feel happy that we finally did it. This core group for the past few years finally achieved our goal and went out on our own terms.” Coach Plante gave his thanks to all of the alumni who came before this year’s team. “We are so grateful and appreciative to all our alumni because they are the reason this program is where we are today. Our alums laid the foundation and they are very much a huge part of this.”

2017-2018 ATHLETICS This past year was full of outstanding athletic success for South Kent School! There were many brilliant moments, unbelievable games, and great individual achievements. At the same time, there were some heartbreaking losses. Overall there were two league titles, three runner-up trophies, two semifinal appearances, three national championship appearances, and one national title. Kicking off the fall, Prep Soccer had another spectacular season, not relinquishing a single loss until November 1st. Up to that point, they had been ranked first in prep school soccer throughout the nation. This loss, the only regular season loss, came against perennial rival Berkshire School in a tough 4-2 battle. The only other loss in the 2018 season would come in the championship match against Brooks School in what was a rematch of the 2017 championship. Bright spots on this season were the remarkable goaltending from Eduardo Thome ‘18. Thome had to step in for Hunter Kochiss ‘19 whose season was hampered by a lingering hip injury. With this success, Eduardo now finds himself playing Division One soccer at Radford University. John Poncy, ‘18, also had a fantastic year, finishing with a teamleading 15 goals. He will be playing at West Point in the fall of 2018. South Kent finished the season with a record of 20-2, the team’s first ever 20-win season. Midfielder Alex Adjetey ‘19 led the team in points with 40 (14 goals, 12 assists). Varsity Soccer had another good season and would find themselves on the precipice of another HVAL title. This season, however, was very much one of attrition and trial by fire. The team was without a goalkeeper to start the season, which led coach Jesse Brennan to a plug-and-play scenario. The majority of the season, third former Tre King stood between the pipes, until a nagging leg injury halted his skill progression. Despite all of this, South Kent made their way back to the HVAL championship game where they would face #1 ranked Master’s (CT). After fighting all the way back from 5-2 down with 10 minutes to play on a brilliant goal scored by Marcelo Bruzzone ‘18 set up by Landon Sartori ‘21, the Cardinals would fall in extra time on a golden goal and lose 6-5. Cross Country did not have quite the team success of the previous year after graduating 12 • THE HILLSIDE Fall 2018

many strong runners. One standout however was Clay Hoadley ‘18. Hoadley had a fantastic year going for him, winning races and gathering individual honors and accolades. Then a lower back injury sidelined him for a few weeks until he was able to race again later in the season. Despite this he qualified for New Englands and placed in the top 25, to cap off an amazing 4-year career at South Kent. Prep Basketball had an overall good season, finishing with a record of 18-12 after a 1-6 start. The team caught fire around Christmas break and started playing some fantastic basketball. Led primarily by Malachi de Sousa ‘18 who scored 19.4 points per game and Anthony Nelson ‘18 with 17, the Cardinals battled their way through an injury-laden season and made their way into the semifinals of the New England playoffs where they were a free throw away from advancing to the championship game. Unfortunately, the Cardinals fell 116-118 in double overtime to a strong Tilton School who ended up winning the title. Successes for South Kent during this season were a leaguebest 15 wins, the point production from both de Sousa and Nelson, and the emergence of players such as Anthony Cooper ‘18, Tim Johnson ‘18, and Gabriel Joseph-Bryan ‘18 as the year went on. Nelson played in 28 games, scoring 20 or more points in 10 of them, including a season-high 44 for South Kent against Canterbury. De Sousa shared similar success, appearing in 25 games and scoring 20 or more in 13 of them, including 5 games in which he eclipsed 30 points with a season-high of 38 twice. Varsity Basketball did not fare very well this season as they were only able to pick up one victory. Henry Kinosian was the team MVP and earned an HVAL Honorable Mention. With a young core, they will look to grow as the boys gain more experience. JV Basketball finished the season with a record of 5-5. An enthusiastic group looks to make a splash as the youth of the team gives promise for the future. Thirds Basketball took on a three-game schedule in its second season. This year Coach Ray Pennucci took a group of players willing to learn the game and molded them into a team that earned a perfect record of 3-0. A surprising standout was Endy Butigian ‘18 who recorded a triple double in his only game played before getting called up. Cardinal Hockey also had a difficult season, as they, too, would find themselves victorious just once. This victory was 2-1 over KingswoodFall 2018 THE HILLSIDE • 13

Oxford, a game in which goaltender Songyuan Shi ‘18 would make 65 saves en route to victory. The standout performer for the season was Clay Hoadley ‘18. Playing through all kinds of injuries, he would battle his way through his final season scoring 15 of the team’s 18 goals during the year. The Selects Academy at South Kent School program had a great season as all three teams qualified for the national tournament. The U15’s were led in goals (40), assists (54), and points (94) by Nick DeSantis ’20, along with strong goaltending by Bennett Jung ‘21. Finishing the season with a record of 45-10-1, the U15’s won the New England District title and qualified for the national tournament where they would proceed to the quarterfinals and lose in gut-wrenching fashion to the Chicago Mission as they gave up the lead with fewer than 10 seconds remaining in regulation and lost it in overtime 2-1. The U16’s would have a similar story. They won the New England district title 2-0 against the Yale Junior Bulldogs and found themselves rolling through Nationals until they ran into the #1 ranked Team Wisconsin in the quarterfinals. An injury to Ethan Phillips kept one of the U16’s top scorers out of this one as they were beaten 6-1, seeing their title hopes slip away. The team, however, finished the season with a record of 43-9-1, and another USPHL title to go along with the New England banner. The team was led in points and assists by Josh Lawrence ‘20 with 85 and 57, and in goals by Ryan Coughlin ‘19 with 36. The U18’s had perhaps the most roller coaster season of the three. The team started off well with a record of 21-2-1. This propelled them and kept them ranked in the top three in the country throughout the season and earned them an atlarge bid to the national tournament. Midway through the season, the team hit a bit of a scoring rut and failed to qualify for regionals. This meant a long wait and a call for that at-large bid. During this time the team found their way again and won the USPHL title before heading to Nationals. Led by strong team chemistry and great performances from their top players in Shane Pinto ‘18, Ryan Sullivan ‘18, Conner Hutchison ‘18 and goaltenders Matt Stephan ‘18 and Matt Sankner ‘18, the U18’s would will their way to the program’s first National Championship. The final game was one for the ages as Pinto struck first in the first period followed by Kyle Haskins ‘18 in the second. Cape Cod would come back early in the third to tie it up, but Zach Schrock ‘18 scored the most important goal of his life just 3 minutes 14 • THE HILLSIDE Fall 2018
Varsity Golf HVAL Champions
CARDINALS
later to give his team what would ultimately be the deciding goal. Pinto and Jake Veilleux ‘18 wrapped a bow on it, adding empty netters in the final minutes to secure the 5-2 victory and utter jubilation for the squad. Following the championship pedigree, the Varsity Baseball team would find themselves back on top of the HVAL league as co-champions this year. This season the Cardinals found many different ways to win games. They would outpitch teams, out-slug teams, and play small ball to win. There was, however, no bigger moment than when Alex Murray ‘18 stepped up to the plate in the bottom of the 10th inning in the semifinal game and smashed a hard line drive through the shortstop hole to win it and send South Kent back to the top of the HVAL baseball mountain. Varsity golf continued their HVAL dominance winning yet another league title, their 13th in the last 14 years. The team was led by their top 3 golfers in Ryan Sullivan ‘18, Hunter Toale ‘18, and Will Amory ‘19. The HVAL individual title was won by Ryan Sullivan who took honors with a score of 38 to join winner Hunter Toale last year and Joel Farabee the year before that. Varsity Lacrosse had a rough season with only 4 wins. They still had a chance to win a 6th straight HVAL title but gave up a 4-goal lead in the championship game losing in overtime to Wooster 13-12 in what was a rematch of the last two years South Kent had been victorious. The bright spot for South Kent was the play of Kyle Haskins ‘18 who eclipsed the 30-goal mark for the third season in a row, and in the championship game scored his 100th goal as a Cardinal in just three seasons. Varsity Tennis had a bounce-back year; a year after only winning one match the team still made a semifinal appearance in the HVAL after upsetting Christian Heritage in the quarterfinals. The team this year was led by the ferociousness of Eduardo Thome ‘18 who only knew how to win, and the heart of Bozhang Ma ‘18 who battled and willed his way through the season with an injury to win the deciding match that would put South Kent into the semifinals. Rounding out the year the Crew, coached by Tim O’Keefe and Kevin Benz, had a rebuilding year in the hopes of reviving what was once a strong, proud rowing program on the Hillside. It was a year in which the program gained more interest from younger students with the hopes of learning a new craft, which shows promise for the future.

This includes gifts for current operations, endowment, capital needs, and special projects as well as the South Kent Fund, which totaled $755,970 this year. Leadership giving remains strong and is the core of the South Kent Fund. This year, 82% of all donors gave gifts of $1,000 or less. Your continued participation in the Annual Fund is critical to South Kent, and we offer our special thanks to all of you whose gifts are included in these totals. I encourage all members of the South Kent family to stay in touch with the School and hope you will consider getting more involved with SKS. This involvement could be by volunteering as a class or reunion agent, hosting a regional event at your home, or referring a new prospective student to our Admissions Office. For those of you listed in the following Donor Rolls, I thank you. As we look forward to the 2018-19 school year, I hope that more parents, alumni, and friends will get involved and reconnect with South Kent.
Recognizes those donors whose leadership gifts have contributed to South Kent’s mission in a significant way. Leadership giving makes up 94% of the dollars raised, serving as the foundation of our program which supports South Kent’s outstanding faculty and students.
Your continued partnership is appreciated and essential as we continue to make South Kent School a stronger institution. In addition to your annual support of the South Kent Fund, we have several critical capital priorities that are in need of funding. We must continue to build the School’s endowment for deferred maintenance, school programs and student scholarships.

Dr. Sean (Sapone)McFate ’88
“T
By Sarah Pfeffer
he habits you develop now are the habits that will stick with you for life,” says Dr. Sean McFate ’88. The author, novelist, and professor offers this advice to current South Kent School students because he has found it to be true in his own life. Now a foreign policy and national security strategy expert, McFate attributes his time as a four-year boy at South Kent to building the foundational “service ethos” that has followed him since. Starting at St. Thomas Choir School in New York City at age nine, McFate already had lofty aspirations: “I was originally hoping to become a great violinist...my dream was playing Tchaikovsky’s violin concerto at Carnegie Hall at age 17,” he says, adding lightheartedly that he had a “mid-life crisis” at age 13 and decided against it. McFate attended the boarding school through eighth grade and began his third form (ninth grade) year at South Kent when his St. Thomas headmaster recommended the School. McFate found his place at South Kent, describing himself as “a very academic kid” and noting that there was something special about starting as a third former and staying on the Hillside all four years. He remembers the need to trust his peers and learn how to get along, especially with the close housing arrangements. Unlike his classmates, this was not his first time away from home, and he felt comfortable in a boarding school setting. Having grown up in Ridgefield, McFate was familiar with the Connecticut landscape, but more importantly, he began to find connections between St. Thomas and South Kent. For one, the founder of St. Thomas Choir School, T. Tertius Noble, composed the tune to South Kent’s “unofficial” school hymn, Come, Labour On. Moreover, McFate noticed that the principles of service and personal character ran deep in both schools. “St. Thomas Choir School and South Kent had a very strong moral fiber

to the education. It wasn’t just, ‘Do well on your AP exams, get into a good school;’ that was secondary,” McFate explains. It was South Kent Headmaster George H. Bartlett especially who exemplified these concepts. “Mr. Bartlett has remained a moral example of what it means to be an adult with integrity in this world,” McFate says. “When I was there, many of us looked up to Mr. B. because he was the paragon of integrity, and, South Kent – its education was a moral education above all else.” Still, as a lifelong academic, McFate feels he was prepared for his next steps thanks to South Kent’s rigorous curriculum and helpful faculty mentors. “I’m a professional writer today, and a lot of that comes from my teachers,” he says, mentioning Arthur “Woody” Brown, Sam Simmons ’68, Lawrence Smith ’73 (Interim Head of School), and Charles P. “Doc” Whittemore ’39, among others. “I had really great teachers who did mentorship for me that sparked intellectual curiosity, and that has manifested in my whole life. It’s not just like it got me into a good college...it set me on a path.” Highlights include being introduced to Mr. Smith’s dog, Augie, named after Augustus Caesar, which McFate notes was done with “great humor, but poise as well.” Although introduced in a perhaps silly way, the subsequent concepts within the study of Ancient Greece and Rome stuck. “I think in many ways Mr. Smith instilled in me a respect for Augustus Caesar because what made Augustus great was not that he was a great conqueror, but he was a great administrator. I saw that back then and as I’ve gotten older, it’s becoming more and more clear to me, the genius of Augustus,” McFate says. This understanding of what it takes to be a great leader has stayed with him throughout his life, from his service as a paratrooper and officer in the U.S. Army’s 82nd Airborne Division under Stanley
McFate’s new hardcover book, The New Rules of War – Victory in the Age of Durable Disorder, is set to release January 22, 2019.
McChrystal and David Petraeus; to his graduation from elite Army training programs; to his time as a private military contractor in Africa; to his current positions as professor at the National Defense University and Georgetown University, and Senior Fellow at Washington, D.C.-based think tank, the Atlantic Council. He also recently served as a visiting fellow at Oxford University and Israel National Defence College. Once again, McFate saw academic leadership modeled for him long before he earned his own PhD. “Doc Whittemore was fantastic; he had a PhD in history...He was old school. Sitting at his table [in the dining hall], it wasn’t a debate society, but it was always a conversation about ideas and he fostered that,” he says. McFate remembers his AP European History as being “almost as rigorous as the real thing in Brown University...we used a college text which I still have...so I have taken that with me.” Making the most of his South Kent experience, McFate was editor for the school newspaper, sang in the choir, was a member of the debate club, and even participated as a “team player” in soccer and hockey. Although athletics were not his primary focus, he jokes, “You can’t go to South Kent and not do sports.” More than on the field or the ice, though, he could be found in the library: “I liked to do geeky things like read the encyclopedia.” And his desire to learn paid off. He double-majored in history and religious studies at Brown University and went on to earn an MPP from the Harvard Kennedy School of Government as well as a PhD in international relations from the London School of Economics and Political Science. From there, he followed in his maternal grandfather’s footsteps and joined the military.
McFate’s grandfather was a World War II veteran who had experienced a harrowing journey to survival after being shot in the Battle of the Bulge. “He never spoke about this experience; he was never a flag waving-guy, but from a young age he told me, ‘Sean, whatever you do in the world, you will serve in the military. You will do your part and serve.’ The service ethos is South Kent School epitomized,” he says. Although he joined the Army to fulfill a promise to his grandfather, the “service ethos” had been instilled in him permanently, and he thrived within the new environment: “I found I was really good at it. I was this nerdy kid in South Kent, but in many ways, South Kent prepared me for military service because the service ethos – putting the community before the needs of the individual – is strong, and South Kent teaches leadership by making students take leadership roles and responsibilities. All those things became very familiar to me when I joined the military, and it became a culture which I honored and to this day I still honor.” Being in the military set him on a trajectory to fulfill his academic goals of becoming a professor. “In many ways, it’s exactly who I was in South Kent, but more manifold.” With his impressive education and career, McFate could certainly be in the private sector but chooses to teach and write simply because of that service ethos, or as he says, “it’s the right thing to do...and South Kent in many ways was a bedrock for that.” Admittedly, McFate has previously wondered if the foundational principles taught by Mr. Bartlett held up. “When I went out as an adult into the world as we all do, we find that cheaters get ahead, and we get beaten up for unjust reasons, and I questioned some of those things,” he says. “But, now I’m a new father to an almost-three yearold. What it makes me think about now is, ‘Well,
how am I going to raise my son, and what do I teach him about morality?’ And at the end of the day, I think starting off with a strong foundation of integrity is essential, is an imperative. My thinking has been all over the map on this, but it’s a good starting place.” After the Army, Sean had chosen to change his last name from Sapone to McFate, his mother’s born surname to honor her side of the family: “I was the last male in the twig of our family tree, and if I ever had a son, then we could pass the name along. Now I do.” Sean McFate has dealt with warlords, raised small armies, transacted arms deals in Eastern Europe, and helped prevent an impending genocide in Africa’s Great Lakes region. He has been a Vice President at TD International; social scientist for the RAND Corporation; speaker at the British House of Commons; has appeared in The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, NPR, BBC, and The Discovery Channel, among others; authored eight book chapters and edited academic volumes; published articles in The Atlantic, Politico, The New Republic, Daily Beast, Vice, Salon, and more. He authored the non-fiction book The Modern Mercenary: Private Armies and What They Mean for World Order and cowrote the Tom Locke series thrillers Shadow War and Deep Black with William Morrow. Above all, he is a man of integrity and service, tenets which were cemented at a small school on a New England hillside. To those just starting their journey here, he says this: “Know that decisions you’re making now, whether conscious or not, will endure for decades to come. Don’t become somebody you don’t want to become because you fell into it. Be active about who you choose to be.” Fall 2018 THE HILLSIDE • 33

Contrast Tibet: where Buddhism and local pride are alive among the natives; clearly the “regime” keeps a tight watch (to be a monk you have to apply to the communist government which severely limits the numbers). The Chinese Han majority folks are simply moving in en masse and teaching all the kids in Mandarin. Tibet is hauntingly beautiful but endangered while China is so proud that its national bird is now the capitalist construction crane. Not endangered at all. Plus the largest dam in the world after having displaced only 1.2 million souls. World seems extra weird this year.

I still work out 3 days a week (10 natural chin ups) - not bad for a 78year old! We are doing improvements on the house, and I take loving care of my 2005 Honda S-2000. Our house backs up to a large property with a herd of deer including several bucks, a very large buffalo and a flock of geese! I am still unpacking my tools and will soon complete my ship and get all my tools hung on pegboards. I talk to Dave Welsh (in California) every month or so and hope to talk him into going to the next reunion! I think about Doc Whittemore and Mr. Wittenberg; both of whom had influence on me. The Old Man, Mr. Cuyler and Doc Henry were, along with “Ma” Brown, people I looked up to. SKS will always be a part of me.

I completed over the summer a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) global training on Stop Transmission of Polio (STOP) communications. The training was held in Kampala, Uganda. In 1988, there were 350,000 annual cases of the wild polio virus from 125 countries. In 2017, there were only 22 wild poliovirus cases from two nations - with one being Pakistan. I have lived and worked in Pakistan since June 2017 as part of the United Nations team working to eradicate the vaccine-preventable disease. Pakistan has lowered its annual polio caseload of 20,000 in the early 1990s to only eight cases in the past year. In September 2018, 39.3 million children under the age 5 were vaccinated against polio in Pakistan by 260,000 frontline workers.
“Dear Mr Farr and Mr Farley,
I played lacrosse at South Kent School back in 1992, 93, and 94. Mr Farr, you were my great coach. I now live and work in Switzerland and am trying out for the Swiss National Box Lacrosse Team. Last weekend our team competed in the Frank Menschner Cup, a tournament in Radotin (near Prague) in the Czech Republic. I saw a young man donning a South Kent sweatshirt and South Kent shorts. It turns out that he also graduated from and played lacrosse at South Kent School. His name is Branislav Bronco Adam, and I believe you, Mr Farley, were his lacrosse coach. The next day our two teams, The Swiss Chocolax vs. the Bratislava (Slovakia) Bats, competed against each other in our last game. We took these photos when we first met at the tournament and after we competed against each other in our last game of the tournament. Thanks, Gentlemen, for teaching us how to play lacrosse, a game we have been playing long after our SKS years. L. Demian Marienthal”

I have been quite busy this year after marriage. I applied to many grad schools and got accepted into a few. Eventually, I decided to go to SUNYAlbany. The school offers full graduate assistance for five years, and that became the dominating reason that I go there. The good thing for me is that I can visit South Kent School a lot easier, and I want to go watch some prep basketball games. Another thing that I want to share with you is that I had a daughter, Ruoxi Hao, born on May 14th in Madison WI. She was 19 inches tall, 2.3 kg, and born in UW-Health Meriter. I was tremendously happy and actually felt so strange to become a father.

Alumni Weekend
Class of 1948 70th Reunion
On June 8-10, 2018, The Old Guard of the Class of 1948 celebrated our 70th Reunion in the style for which our members are noted. We were the oldest class to return for a fifth year reunion, and, though sadly eight of our classmates have passed away since our 65th reunion, no less than 75% of the known active survivors returned to the hillside. We joined with all returning alumni from other years to honor our educational heritage from South Kent School. Class of ‘48 “Old Guard” Classmates returning were: Dick Aiken from Truro on Cape Cod, Massachusetts; Dick Cuyler who drove up from Etowah, North Carolina; Wally Hastings and wife Maida, from Pacific Palisades, California; Bill Reynolds and partner Peggy Matthews from Hudson, Massachusetts; also, Cornie Sewell and wife Ann from NYC, New York; and David and Jody Williams from Ormand Beach, Florida. We were all graciously ensconced in Gilder Hall thanks to Jennifer Haase, Assistant to Head of School, Alumni Relations, and, I think we were all still able to climb the hill from the Old Building! After raising a glass of our favorite beverage at the well attended cocktail party for all alumni, courtesy of the School, on the courtyard and lawn in front of the Old Building, we made our way over Bulls Bridge Road to the intersection of Route 7 where sits the Bulls Bridge Inn. The Class of ‘48 has held its class reunion dinners at this centuries-old Inn every five-year reunion save one, that I can remember. I again invited Noble Richards, class of ‘49, and former Headmaster of SKS. to join us, which he did and added so many fine memories to what is always a great time, with fine food and lively conversation. And it was, again! The rest of the weekend was filled with planned activities that left not a minute without some fun, or learning about some new idea or program that Andy Vadnais, Head of School, has designed to continue to bring South Kent School nearer a forefront position among America’s top Preparatory Schools, as it certainly deserves. The Saturday night banquet was, as usual, full of great food, fun and libations! Thanks to everyone at SKS who helped make the reunion weekend so enjoyable. After brunch on Sunday, we said our goodbyes and went our separate ways, planning to return to the Hillside in 2023 to celebrate again, that to be our 75th reunion! -Bill Reynolds 38 • THE HILLSIDE Fall 2018
Class of 1968 50th Reunion
After six months of planning, organizing, telephones calls, e-mails, texts, campus visits, and the creation of a class of ’68-specific website and Facebook page, the 2018 SKS Alumni Weekend finally arrived, and sixteen classmates - plus a former classmate - gathered and reconnected. John Hunter and Sam Simmons led the organizational charge, enthusiastically assisted by Tom Baldwin, Jim Hamlin, and Tom Williams. A few of us played golf on Thursday afternoon and enjoyed an informal cook-out at the 1824 House (reunion central for the weekend), and the rest trickled in through the course of the next day. Spectacular weather highlighted the beauty of the campus – burgeoning flowerbeds, full trees, immaculately mowed lawns and fields, and the remarkable restoration of St. Michael’s. The efforts to connect with all of our classmates paid off in that sixteen of the twenty-four surviving members arrived at one point or another. The returnees were Tom Baldwin and his wife, Nancy; Rick Bales and his wife, Sandra; Paul Dumond; Jim Hamlin; John Hunter; Jim Kochman; Tom Lamb and his wife, Vickie; Emerson Martin; Van Martin and his wife, Phyllis; Jim Michel and his wife, Carol; Whit Raymond, Boykin Rose and his wife, Margot; Bruce Severance, Sam Simmons, Hunter Townsend, Dick Vreeland and his wife, Susan; and Tom Williams. We also reflected, that since June 7, 1968 (Prize Day), we have lost four of our thirty brothers: Steve Ackley, Jon Bishop, Rad Butts, and Randy Carpenter. Our class dinner Friday night was held in the brand new culinary facility on the North Campus (the site of what many remember as the Arno farm overlooking the north end of Hatch Pond). Under the watchful eyes of Ted Moore (who leads the new culinary initiative), Allie Gennings (Center for Innovation coordinator), and Anna Richardson (resident farmer), and Ted’s son, Lucas, we feasted on a delicious meal of salads, smoked pork tenderloins, grilled chickens, asparagus and carrots, asparagus risotto, and raspberry/custard tarts – the ingredients for which were either grown
or produced on the farm. We dined around a beautifully-set long table, accented by flowers (also from the farm), greeting and toasting one another, posing for (relatively) formal and informal photos, responding to Jim Michel’s impromptu class survey (e.g., “Raise your hand if…you have more than one parent still living, have been married more than once, went to Woodstock, went to Vietnam, marched on Washington,” that sort of thing), and marveled at the ease with which the years slipped aside and we reconnected. At Hamlin’s prompting, we all got to our feet for an enthusiastic recitation of “The Chaucer.” No one ended up in the pond. A definite highlight of the evening was the company of John and Sandy Farr and Paul and Terese Abbott. On Saturday morning all of the alumni were treated to an excellent “State of the School” presentation session in the Schoolhouse facilitated by Director of Advancement Chris Farr ’84 and complemented by Headmaster Andy Vadnais. That was followed by an excellent “Back in the Day” session, led by the class, which has become an Alumni Day tradition. We spent the afternoon poking around the campus, watching some of the alumni hockey game, exploring the new bike/hiking trails, and more reconnecting. The memorial chapel service provided an opportunity to remember deceased classmates, and we headed to the Brown Gymnasium for the all-alumni dinner, the “official” recognition of the youngest members of the “Old Guard” – the Class of 1968 – and the presentation of the McLean Award for the Outstanding Alumnus – Duane “Draino” Stone ’69. It was a delightfully poignant weekend - not at all a reverting to those days of the 60’s, although there were plenty of stories about those long ago times; rather, it was as if the shared experiences – good and bad, rewarding and tough, funny and sad – allowed us to reestablish those bonds formed when we were kids. - Sam Simmons Fall 2018 THE HILLSIDE • 39
Class of 1988 30th Reunion
Returning to the Hillside for our 30th was nothing short of spectacular. The Class of ’88 agreed on a BBQ to kick off the weekend. Little did we know the new SKS would provide us with a great fire pit area. Kudos to our perceptive classmate for pointing that out! And, many thanks to Charlie Mellon for transporting the charcoal grill from his home state of Maine. We carefully backed the aforementioned grill, along with several coolers filled with steamers, mussels, and traditional fare down the hill. Luckily, Mr. Peter Blake volunteered to man the grill where he demonstrated many of his wilderness skills. Our excitement grew with the arrival of Katz and his brother from Japan, Kurt Stahl and his guitar, followed by the boys from Strong Island who were fully prepared for the evening. Francis, (Mr. Cullen’s nickname for Christopher Francescani) brought his guitar along making for great entertainment as he and Kurt jammed well into the night. One by one, the boys of ’88 appeared – Will Rowe, Matthew Green, Robert Malinak and his lovely wife, followed by Richard Brande. As the night progressed, different classes stopped by to chat, which added flavor to the evening. Endless laughs while sharing recollections of our time at SKS filled the hours. Simplicity of life and self-reliance were undoubtedly the theme of our get-together. Having the opportunity to spend time with our former classmates was unforgettable. The remainder of the weekend rolled on as if we had never left South Kent. Strolling through campus and sharing everything that we adored made this Alumni Weekend one for the books. -Chris Devoy

Class of 2003 15th Reunion
Fifteen years later we returned to the timeless hillside as if nothing had changed. Sure we were older, but we picked up as if it were yesterday, not even skipping a beat. Eight of us made it back: Benjamin Zwirek, Federico Quinonez, Jason Bastian Cash, Jesse Hargrave Quinn, Kealan Rooney, Peter Seltzer, Quintin Gabriel, and Spencer Morse. Brian Buonomo (‘02) and Steven Bruen (‘04) also made appearances. It started with a text on Friday afternoon from Federico. He was at the Wingdale Train Station and needed a ride. I texted Peter, who had just turned onto Dog Tail Corners, to turn around and grab Feddie. A few seconds later Feddie texted back, “NVM! Ms. Lyon just got here.” Same old Federico, lol. Just before Peter showed up, Cash parked his car outside of Woodward. His wife (Amy), son (Gus), and daughter (Rory) all hopped out of the car, followed by Jason Momoa-- I mean Cash (but seriously, their likeness is uncanny). I blinked and Feddie, Peter, and Kealan were all back on campus. We had a lot of laughs and a great time at our class dinner that night, at the Old Oak Tavern. It felt like 2003 all over again. The next morning Ben showed up in time for a spin in Kealan’s new boat, on Hatch Pond (which was much more fun than any crew practice). Peter and I went mountain biking on the new trails that Todd Gennings had recently cleared (where were these when we were students?!). Jesse made a cameo appearance in time for the class photos; then, we all went down to the Stockdale Arena to cheer Cash on for the alumni hockey game. Quintin showed up after the game. We all hopped in Peter’s truck to blaze a dusty trail behind the gym, through the woods, to the North Campus for the incredible farm-to-table presentation. After a few drinks and a tour of the amazing, brand new culinary arts building at the farm, we all headed to chapel and then a formal dinner at the gym. Bruen Sr. and Buonomo joined our table as we ate and drank the night away. We took the party back to Woodward, and I think it ended somewhere around 3:00 AM. It was the perfect end to a perfect weekend. I had a great time, Gents! I hope to see everybody at our 20th reunion (2023), which happens to be the School’s 100th anniversary. - Spencer Morse Fall 2018 THE HILLSIDE • 41

“Lew Cuyler Rowing on Eagle Lake” Painting by Paul Matthews ’51
Lewis C. Cuyler ‘51 died peacefully from end-stage Alzheimer’s Disease at his home on November 3, 2017. Lew was born in New York City in 1933, the eldest of five children born to Lewis Baker Cuyler of Princeton NJ and Margery Merrill Cuyler formerly of Stockbridge MA. He attended South Kent School and Amherst College. Lew married Jane Warren Cuyler in 1960. They had two children, Juliana and Alexander. Lew and Jane subsequently divorced. Later, in 1975, Lew married his beloved wife, Harriet Buechner Cuyler. For over twenty years Lew worked as a journalist with the Transcript which culminated with the position of Executive Editor. He fell in love with North Adams and worked tirelessly to improve the community, bringing attention to the value of urban trees, gateways, and its history. He was one of the founders of the Hoosac Tunnel museum in North Adams MA. Mr. Cuyler also taught journalism classes at UMass and the former North Adams State College. In 1980, Mr. Cuyler resigned his position at the Transcript when new management informed him that it would be his job to reduce the number of employees at the paper, he refused. This cost him his own position and was indicative of the selflessness that embodied his life. He went on to develop his own business, Cuyler Ink, in which he provided freelance writing services and sound slide shows. In 1987, Mr. Cuyler jumped at an offer from the Berkshire Eagle to become Business Editor, where he allowed readers to better understand the economic forces driving Pittsfield. He continued to write a weekly ski column and was a member of the New England Ski Writers Association for many years. He authored several books during his life, including Short Bike Rides in the Berkshires and Ernestine Bayer, the Mother of Women’s Rowing in the
United States, as well as co-authoring Skiing in the Berkshire Hills. He also self -published his memoirs entitled On Being a Human Verb, which is available at the Berkshire Athenaeum history department. Lew was an avid cross country and downhill skier, a cyclist, and lover of “messing around in boats” (quote from the water rat in Kenneth Grahame’s The Wind in the Willows). He had honed his skiing skills in Europe while stationed in Stuttgart, Germany. He knew exactly how many ski runs he could put in at Jiminy Peak and still make it to work at the Berkshire Eagle by 11AM, even to the point of having his tie on under his ski parka in order to maximize his time on the slopes. Upon retiring from the Eagle, he rekindled his love for rowing which harkened back to his prep school and college days. He had purchased a single “shell” from a cousin, and another career blossomed in which he sold rowing shells and founded the Berkshire Sculling Association (BRASS). He was the driving force in the restoration of an aged building on the shores of Onota Lake that is now full of rowing shells and was dedicated as the Cuyler Boathouse in 2001. Mr. Cuyler’s dedication to the Berkshires was only interrupted by the births of four grandchildren in Oregon, and in seeking more regular contact with them, he and Harriet moved to Hood River, Oregon during winters. Mr. Cuyler is survived by his loving wife of 42 years, Harriet, two children, Alexander Cuyler, and Juliana Cuyler Dolan, and four grandchildren. He is also survived by two sisters, Juliana McIntyre Fenn and Margery Cuyler Perkins, and a brother, George Grenville Cuyler, all of New Jersey. A brother, David LeRoy Cuyler, and his ex-wife, Jane Cuyler predeceased him. Bennet Dyke ’51 passed away on May 23, 2017. Fall 2018 THE HILLSIDE • 49
Remembrance of Harry Hart I received news yesterday of the death of my brother, Harry Hart, June 14, 2018, at his home in Wilmington, North Carolina. He had been declining with serious health issues for several years, after many years of teaching in private schools throughout New England - some of them related to the Episcopal Church. Harry was the Dorm Prefect his Fourth Form Year at SKS. Like all of us he played football and hockey, somewhat better than I did, and excelled on the crew team, where he was the captain. He went on to Kenyon College, in Ohio, and left before finishing to join the Marine Corps during the Korean War. He did so well in basic training that the Drill Sergeant wanted him to stay there and work with new recruits. That was not for Harry, but he said life at South Kent gave him the perfect preparation for the Marine Corp! He returned to finish his undergraduate work at Columbia University in New York. His math skills, mostly gained at SKS, put him in line for an engineering position with Grumman-Lockheed Corp, in California. Amazing to think. It was 1960, and he was doing the math for the trajectories of submarine missiles (very torn by the moral and ethical complications of what that contributed to peace in the world), and just down the street, practically, a few years later, NASA began work on pushing rockets into outer space. He just missed those remarkable women, now made famous by the movie “Hidden Figures”. How he would have loved collaborating with them! He headed eastward as soon as possible and began his teaching career. Among other places it included St. Paul’s, Concord, NH,, St. Mary’s, Waterbury, Ct., The Southborough School ( I think connected to St. Marks) in Ma. where he was assistant head. Then he went on to be head of school at Chapel Hill-Chauncey Hall School in Waltham, and assistant head at Beaver Country Day School in Chestnut Hill, Ma., finally to retire in North Carolina. The fall after Harry graduated from SKS, I arrived in the 3rd Form, and I can tell you he was a tough act to follow! He set a standard for me, both there, and throughout these many years, that has challenged me mentally, physically, and spiritually. May a dear brother Rest in Peace. -Don Hart ‘55
Harry M. A. Hart ‘51 passed away on June 14, 2018. Harry was born in NYC on September 8, 1933. Harry is survived by his loving wife Patricia of 35 years, his brother The Rt. Rev. Donald P. Hart and spouse Elizabeth, his son Seth Rahn Hart, his daughter Carolyn Ayres Hart, his daughter Amy Wentworth Hart Adams, his stepson Brad Marcus Bear who was by his side helping his mom care for Harry for many years. Harry was predeceased by his former spouse, Marie Rahn Johnson. After graduating from Columbia University, NYC in Mathematics and Physics, Harry worked as an Engineer at Lockheed in California. His concern about the inhumanity of nuclear war led him back to New England and into the world of education. He received his Master’s Degree from The University of New Hampshire and then studied Philosophy at Harvard University. Eastern Philosophy, particularly Zen Buddhism, was an enrichment to him. Harry went on to become Headmaster of Chapel Hill-Chauncy Hall School. Harry’s 50 • THE HILLSIDE Fall 2018
3 children always said that dinner conversations often had DHM, Deep Hidden Meaning. He did mountain climbing with his brother Don. Climbing every one of the Presidential Mountains in New Hampshire, he taught his students to build and to sleep in snow caves. Harry was Captain of Crew and several of his family rowed crew. Harry built 3 homes, the first on Cape Cod in Truro, 2 boats, and all his furniture. Harry and his wife Patricia lived aboard their boat for 3 years, exploring the coast and the Islands of New England. Harry emphasized the importance of individuality and connectedness. Burnley L.

A Great Way to Give The IRA Charitable Rollover provides you with an excellent opportunity to make a gift during your lifetime from an asset that would be subject to multiple levels of taxation if it remained in your taxable estate
TO QUALIFY • You must be age 70 ½ or older at the time of the gift. • Transfers must be made directly from a traditional IRA account by your IRA administrator to South Kent School. (Funds that are withdrawn by you and then contributed do NOT qualify. Gifts from 401k, 403b, SEP and other plans do not qualify.) • Gifts must be outright. Distributions to donor-advised funds or life-income arrangements such as charitable remainder trusts and charitable gift annuities do not qualify.
BENEFITS • Qualified charitable distributions can total up to $100,000. • Distributions are not included in your gross income for federal income tax purposes on your IRS Form 1040 (No charitable deduction is available, however.) • Funds count towards your required minimum distribution for the year from your IRA.
“If you are 70 ½ years or older, there is no easier way to give back to SKS than through your IRA. Sending a portion of your required minimum distribution directly to the School will save you the usual taxation, and it simply involves completing the proper paperwork provided by the firm that holds your IRA. I highly recommend giving in this way, as I intend to do, if you are qualified to do so.” — Joseph R. Neuhaus, Jr. ‘65
EXAMPLE You want to make a contribution to South Kent School. You are 70½ and are required to take a minimum distribution of $10,000 from your IRA, but you do not need the income. You can authorize the administrator of your IRA to transfer $10,000 to South Kent. The $10,000 distributed to South Kent will not be subject to federal tax and will be counted toward your annual minimum required distribution.
