ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

We could never have imagined the variety of impeccable work that would find its way into the A-Z Files for the past ten years. Thank you to everyone who has contributed their time and talent into making the A-Z Files part of the school’s ongoing story. Thank you to David Trower - he was the first hand we shook to start our academic journey, the same hand each new student shook for 32 years. As we start a new chapter in the school’s history, we want to personally thank Mr. Trower for steering this institution through numerous milestones that changed the world, the city, and the school house that we live in. Endless appreciation to David Kersey for guiding multiple generations of students and leaving a lasting impression on all of us - we will forever be grateful to him for directing us to produce the first edition ten years ago. Special shout-out to Mr. Haarmann whose tireless efforts helped shape it into what it has become. Even though he is no longer teaching at Allen-Stevenson, he continues to review the submissions and I am excited to share that for the first time some of his original work is included in this edition. We can’t thank him enough for the heart he showed us dating back to when we were sixth graders and continuing to this day. And finally to the Levy Family: Helen, Mike, and Adam, we greatly appreciate you allowing us to share the spirit of Zach with a future generation. A heartfelt thank you to all!

We would also like to take a moment to welcome Duncan Lyon as the new headmaster at Allen-Stevenson. After seeing the enthusiasm and fresh perspective he brings each day we know the institution we love is in good hands as it embarks on its next big chapter.
