Dw Dedication to:

Dr, Dwfiadawaw

Dr. Duhadaway: The Senior class of 2012 feels privileged to have been graced with the expansive knowledge and positive attitude of Dr. Duhadaway. He has definitely been a teacher that has influenced everyone in this class. It is truly admirable the way such a naturally intelligent and well-accomplished man can possess the humble nature and easygoing mentality that Dr. Duhadaway

! 1BMI1 I if m | does. He has been an exceptional member of the Bancroft community in his years at this school, teaching students valuable lessons both inside and ,*0' **

outside the classroom.

He has inspired us to be the best students we can, impressing us with his mastery of subject matter in class, and constantly leaving us laughing, reminding us not to take ourselves too seriously. The senior class felt that Dr. Duhadaway's innate ability to create an open and comfortable learning environment and his efforts to accommodate each and every one of his students should not go unnoticed. Dr. Duhadaway, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being an excellent teacher and role model, and we dedicate our yearbook to you.

The class of 2012 started off their senior year going Whitewater rafting on the Kennebeck River in Maine. They enjoyed time in the pool and hot tub, scrumptious food, and rapids up to class five! The two days of fun bonded the class together and started off senior year with a splash!'. 7 , vf

The Sophomore class got trained in CPR and then had a fun time roller-skating! They learned resuscitation techniques for children and adults and got certified in CPR. They enjoyed the afternoon skating, playing games like limbo, and dancing the chicken dance. What a great way to start off sophomore year! .....

It's a jWnGLe out t fore After weeks of anticipation, the day finally arrived. We had fun, got funky, and some acted like a monkey. We even went bananas with some of our dances! It was a great day- thank you Mrs. Sheldon for making it possible. Although the other grades put up a valiant fight, of course the seniors rule!

Mrs. Sountsova, Mrs. Leblanc, Mr. DeSouza, Mr. Fair, and Mrs. VanderSpek instilled in their students a love of math this year. Mrs. LeBlanc brought her students to a pool hall to demonstrate a real world application of geometry. Mr. DeSouza taught his students many different concepts and let them watch Numbers for a well-deserved break! Mrs. Sountsova won her students over with her humor and love for the subject. Mr. Fair challenged his students, but he was always available for extra help and guidance. Mrs. Vanderspek was loved by all her students and students frequently looked to her for a mentor.

Science The science department was in full swing this year with Mrs Pearson, Dr, Beauregard, Mrs. Sountsova, Mr. Kondek, and Mrs. DeMaria sharing their vast knowledge with their students. Physics was handled by Mrs. Sountsova and Mrs. Pearson, who both tried to show their students how physics applies to real-life situations. Dr. Beauregard and Mr. Kondek both taught their students the basic principles of chemistry. Mrs. DeMaria challenged her students with the vast world of biology, and allowed her students to better understand the complex concepts with frequent lab experiments. Science this year expanded our minds and let us view the world in a different light!

Above: Jason and Duncan happily document their findings in a science class lab. Below: Amanda, Mrs. Pearson and Riley creating light in the lab!

The English department worked its way through novels, poetry, and other literary works this year and challenged students to become better writers and analytical thinkers. Mrs. O'Rourke and Mrs. Fortier taught the freshman class important skills for upper-level writing. Mrs. Lellios taught her students to further expound upon their writing skills and to find the deeper meaning in various texts. Mr. Taylor pushed his students to fully realize their academic ability and incorporated elements of film and music into his class to offer a different viewpoint. Overall, students became better writers this year due to the hard work and dedication of their teachers. Zach Bamberger and Robert Turley sharing textbook tips.

Foreign Language

Mr. Mathieu's fantastic French class!

Molly Shea studying for an exam.

The foreign language department offered Spanish, French, Latin, and Chinese to students who wanted to expand their knowledge of languages and learn about a new culture. Mrs. Hosey and Mrs. Telenson both taught Spanish this year, exposing students to new vocabulary and honing students' grammar. Mrs. Puccio and Mr. Mathieu taught French and stressed pronunciation and correct verb tense. Mrs. Fuller taught Latin and gave her students valuable information about Ancient Rome as well as insight into the English language and roots of certain words. Mrs. Butler taught Chinese to a few daring students willing to try something different, and all the students gained a new appreciation of Chinese language and culture. The foreign language department challenged us this year to think in a worldly perspective, and each student became better global citizens because of it.

Aria Killough- Miller and Alekos Robotis

Students this year looked into the past to try to better understand the present through their history classes. Mr. Trocchio, Mrs. Buckley, Dr. Duhadaway, Mr. Sheldon, and Ms. Stevens shared their knowledge of history with their students. Mr. Trocchio introduced students to upper school history with terms from the primer and a general knowledge of world history. Mrs. Buckley and Ms. Stevens both created lively class atmospheres that kept their students engaged and interested. Dr. Duhadaway and Mr. Sheldon challenged their AP students with huge amounts of reading, but both teachers made sure that each student truly understood the material for the AP exam in the spring. The history department had a great year and made students truly understand the value of learning from the past.

When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy. ’ They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life. Thank you to everyone who helped me learn this lesson and supplied me with the strength and confidence to always put my happiness first.

I’ve heard it said that people come into our lives, for a reason, bringing something we we are led to those who help us most to grow, if we let them and we help them in return. I believe that’s true, but I know I’m who I am today because I knew you.

“Tfiese great people and fun we will never forget;

In Kindergarten, we bonded for the firstt*time over monarch butterflies, i f* Too quickly did the days of nap time and crayons pass by. First grade the princes and princesses attended the medieval feast, The seniors helped us pen our own books before our attention turned to the east. Second grade seemed like it barely began, Before we knew all there was to learn about mummies and Japan. In Third grade we explored cursive and slave exploitation, We also moved the middle and lower school to a different location. Fourth grade, we learned about the pilgrim’s plight, We put on plays of Midsummer Night’s Dream and Twelfth Night. Fifth grade book buddies and the 5th grade play, Completed a year along with our Kieve stay. 6th grade was the start of middle school, Our Jordan’s furniture fieldtrip and Speak Out project were cool. 7th grade started off with the Chewonki retreat, POWs and the Science Fair made the year complete. In 8th grade, we were leaders in assembly and on the stage, A Way’s End, forums, and midterms helped us come of age. As freshman we almost won the Mountain Day staff of immunity, In hot pink at Camp Blanchard our class showed its unity. The sophomore class skated into the year wearing green, Even the ice storm didn’t faze us teens. As juniors, we sported white at Caribou and challenged ourselves all year, Our futures and college selections slowly started to become clear. The seniors chose their colleges and ruled the hails in black, White water rafting, a mountain day win and commencement- we wish we could go back. Our thirteen-year journey is ending, and we have no regrets, •

S o ccer Both Varsity and Junior Varsity boys soccer teams had challenging, yet ultimately rewarding seasons. Through countless practices, drills, and other exercises each player learned how to play to benefit the entire team.

Varsity Field Ftocfey The Bancroft Girls Varsity Field Hockey team had a very successful season, although the score did not always demonstrate it. With a small team of thirteen, the girls strongly supported each other as they worked to improve their skills. From long bus rides, to team mascots, to team dinners we became a more united team.

The 2011 Bancroft Varsity Golf team had a very testing year in 2011. The season started off very promising, as the team began the year 7-1, losing only to defending league champions, Berwick Academy. Eighth-grader, Tim Umphrey quickly emerged as one of the team’s best players, and his brother, Jay Umphrey earned the team’s most improved player award. Bobby Donohue, Adit Dharampuriya, and Tim Umphrey ended the year with scoring averages of 41.1,41.3, and 41.3, respectively. Unfortunately, the team was unable to continue the momentum through the end of the year, finishing at 9-5 on the year. However, all was not lost, as the team looks to see improvement from freshman Ace Ensign, sophomore Adit Dharampuriya, and junior Bobby Donohue. We wish Tim Umphrey the best as he plans to golf for Saint John’s High School next year.

Cross Country had a fun season this year. We ran through a lot of rain and mud but we kept laughing through it all! Our E.I.L. tournament was at Franklin Park.

Q ongm tulations Galla!

Dear Dhalavai, It looks as though you were born yesterday and we brought you home. Before we realized that you were growing up, you graduated from kindergar ten, elementary school, and m iddle school. Even though the days went by fast it's s t ill hard to believe that you are graduating from high school pretty soon and going to go to college. As you grow up to be a responsib le man, I am confident that you w ill not follow someone else's path instead you w ill go where there is no path and leave a trail. I know that you w ill keep m oving on in your life regardless of the challenges you may face in your life. "Sho o t for the moon Dhalavai. Even if you m iss, you w ill land among the stars."W e want you to succeed in your life and we w ill be waiting to see you as a successful leader in 20 years. There is nothing in the world more im portant to us than your success and well-being. We are lucky to have you as a son and we want to thank you fo r all these years of pride that you've given us and I am sure you w ill be giving more pride throug hout our lifetim e. We thank God fo r giving a w onderful son to us. Love, Mom & Dad To my big brother, I ju s t wanted to say that you have been so good to me these past years. You have given me advice when I was feeling down; you always knew how to help me w ith that next math problem; and probably m ost im portant of all, you've been there fo r me through thick and thin. All of those good qualities that you have made me look up to you and want to be ju s t like you. But, we both know that I'm never going to be such an extraordinary, smart, and caring person as you. You’ve fell on hard tim es before, but the m ost extraordinary thing about that is watching you climb back up the mountain of success. Th a t's why I want to salute you and w ish you successful years in college. Love, K rish

WAVES OF CHANGE Former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, who had been in power since 1981, was ousted in 2011. He was later put on trial for allegedly ordering the killing of protesters. EGYPTIAN PROTESTERS Waving their national flag and shouting slogans, thousands crowded Cairo's Tahrir Square to demand political change as anger grows with the military rulers over the slow pace of reform. TOGETHER IN PROTEST The flags of Syria, Tunisia, Yemen, Egypt and Libya were painted on participants' palms during a demonstration in Yemen.

PROTESTS ACROSS THE MIDDLE EAST brought

changes to Arab nations large and small. Uprisings began in Tunisia, where, as 2010 ended, a young vendor protesting the confiscation of his wares set himself on fire. Discontent spread to Egypt and Yemen as 2011 began, and in the months that followed those governments and leaders from Bahrain, Libya and Syria were under siege. By year's end, the presidents of Tunisia, Egypt and Yemen had stepped down and Libya's Moammar Gadhafi and his son Mutassim had been assassinated. Tunisians went to the polls in October 2011 and the Egyptian election took place just a month later. The protests continued despite high costs: thousands of lives (5,000 in Syria alone) and billions of dollars were lost.

JOPLIN DISASTER May's F-5 tornado destroyed one-third of the Missouri town, killing more than 150. HURRICANE IRENE In late August, severe winds and intense rainfall brought flooding and damage to the northeast. More than 5 million homes and businesses were without power for as long as a week. EAST COAST QUAKE While little damage and only minor injuries were reported following a 5.9 earthquake in August, a crack was found in the famed Washington Monument and the Virginia quake was felt from Toronto to Charlotte.

COLLECTIVE BARGAINING PITTED PLAYERS AGAINST OWNERS in both the NBA and NFL Sports fans feared the worst but both leagues were able to agree in tim e to save most of their regular seasons. In the NBA, the focus was primarily on cutting player salaries to help struggling teams. Both sides remained far apart on just about every major issue. They settled in late November, agreeing to a 66-game schedule, with the first games set for Christmas Day, cutting two weeks off the regular season. The NFL lockout lasted from March 11 to July 25. Once an agreement was reached, the players won additional benefits; the continuation of a 16-game regular season schedule, improvements in player safety and increased injury protection. Almost as soon as an agreement was reached, trades, deals, cuts and contracts were made.
