Jack Crawford was on campus for Veterans Day. He spoke movingly to the entire student body about the importance of being lifelong learners and the importance of service to one’s country through jobs that focus on giving back, such as teaching and the military. He also led the school in a spirited Tilton fight song, which they sang before they took the fields and reclaimed the Powder Keg.
Planning ahead has played an important role in the growth and success of Tilton School. The Tilton Society honors all those who have included Tilton School in their estate plans through a bequest, a life income gift or other planned gifts. When you make a planned gift to Tilton, you become a member of the Tilton Society for life. Planned gifts have supported many things including scholarships, faculty endowment, buildings for classrooms and labs as well as enrichment opportunities for faculty and students. This special group is recognized at Alumni Weekend each year.

Steve Kates writes, “I am enjoying being involved in the Alumni Council and recalling many fantastic memories of Tilton School. One of my favorite memories was when I summited Mount Washington as a student leader with boys from the younger Forms and barely made it to the cabin before falling victim to a snowstorm. Those were the days.”

Dick Nutter writes, “Happy to see Dick Ryerson inducted into the Athletic Hall of Fame on Saturday, November 12. Talked to him afterward and he was thrilled. On a sad note, Sherm Prouty lost his 11-year battle with a blood disorder and passed away on Sunday, November 13. We will all miss him.” Arthur Wilband writes, “Thank you to everyone who made the 50th Reunion fantastic. It was great seeing all the guys again. Looking forward to our 55th. Please keep in touch.”
