Two distinctive leaders step away at end of year

In order to celebrate Mr. Stewart’s legacy at Belmont Hill, we must first appreciate a staggering (yet certainly incomplete) list of his roles at this school over almost a half century of service: a teacher, first, of English, grammar, American and British literature, multimedia, technology, automobile and loom mechanics, bookmaking, and proper harpooning technique; not only a coach of the spirited Killer Bees, but also head coach of varsity track, and creator of the cross-country program; an advisor; a lunch table proctor; maestro of the Facultones, a role that would leave him voiceless for days; sage of the scheduling committee, which brought us the rotating schedule; creative director of The Prospector, the Middle School’s literary magazine; coordinator of the PoetryFest, there to judge the “previews” and even to lend a hand in setting up the Chapel stage for the finals; an entrepreneur, having created grammar and writing texts used far beyond the limits of the Belmont Hill campus; a tough grader; mentor to untold numbers of young faculty members; an inspiration to at least two full generations of his students; Mr. Stewart; Donald S. Stewart; Don: A magician. Now it seems so fitting that the first novel we discussed in Mr. Stewart’s First Form English 1 was The Giver, in
When I started my eight grade math career in Algebra 1A, I didn’t know what to expect, but certainly not any excitement. Quickly, however, Mrs. Callahan changed all my expectations when she handed out the first of the “Problem’s of the Week.” These problems, manageable but challenging carried with them the expectation of a whole-hearted effort on the part of students to solve them. In class, we covered the basics, but to say what we covered would not say what class was like. My energy levels, along with those of my classmates were quite high, and Mrs. Callahan understood and expected this. She knew how to balance youthful rowdiness with math and intellectual discussion. The concept of real world application for math concepts would be a prominent theme in our class— culminating in a project she assigned us where we were to find an area of interest and relate it to some elementary math concept. My desire to learn in math really took off during that year, sparking a will to go further, and she encouraged my learning. But it wasn’t just I that Mrs. Callahan helped, it was the entire class. From the people who struggled to the top students, Mrs. Callahan made sure everyone understood the material and was active in class. Extra help with her meant everyone would get the time they needed to under-
which the central character passes along memories that describe human emotions, thoughts, ideas (even colors) to a chosen boy who represents the next generation’s vessel for these experiences. Mr. Stewart’s profound skill in the classroom and his expansive knowledge of all things related—and, frankly, totally unrelated—to the material discussed in class are just as magical as the Giver’s transfer of memory. We knew it would be a special class period when, last block on a sunny spring Friday, our English 1 class marched obediently behind Mr. Stewart up to the stonecontinued on page 2
stand the material. A “portfolio” of work was created at the end of each semester including all our tests, problems of the week, and a writing assessment of what we had learned from the class experience. These helped everyone to review and something else as well, it promoted writing involving math. In most math classes we only devote ourselves to the pure math, but Mrs. Callahan taught us the importance of writing to achieve success. Mrs. Callahan didn’t just teach math— she inspired us and helped us to develop the practical skills of math that will help us all for the rest of our lives. ☐
Interview with Robert Kraft, commencement speaker for class of 2011 Matt Czarnecki Panel Staff Belmont Hill is honored and thrilled to have Robert Kraft as this year’s Commencement speaker. As the CEO and Chairman of the Kraft Group, and the owner of both the New England Patriots and the New England Revolution. Mr. Kraft will certainly give the graduating seniors knowledge and advice that will last a lifetime. Belmont Hill has become a tradition for the Kraft family as Mr. Kraft is the father of three Belmont Hill boys. He is proud that his oldest grandson, Harry, attends Belmont Hill today. The Panel interviewed Mr. Kraft and learned about his connections to Belmont Hill and the special meaning that the school holds for his family. I know that your son attended Belmont Hill and your grandson Harry is in his second year at the school. What is it about Belmont Hill that you find so special? I am very proud to have my oldest grandson, Harry, who is finishing the Second Form, extend a family tradition by attending Belmont Hill. I have four sons and all four have connections to the school. Three of my sons attended Belmont Hill as students and the one who didn’t attend taught there for two years after graduating from college. To this day, all four sons speak very highly of their experiences there and always credit Belmont Hill for helping to shape their early

personal and professional development. To me, what makes Belmont Hill so special is that it’s focused on providing the best education possible, both in and out of the classroom, and in turning boys into young men in an environment that celebrates hard work, discipline, focus, and brotherhood between the boys who attend. I believe strongly that under Rick Melvoin’s leadership, these characteristics and skills have only been enhanced since my sons attended. This past Friday, the father of one of the students in my grade came back for reunion weekend and stated that, “Belmont Hill shaped me into who I am today.” Do you think this holds true for your son? Is Belmont Hill becoming a tradition in the Kraft family?
Pursue your life’s passions. Find things that you love to do and do them better than anyone else. If you enjoy what you are doing in life, it takes the “work” out of work. Those who are about to graduate from Belmont Hill are about to set out on an incredible journey and I believe that Belmont Hill is one of the best in terms of preparing its students for that journey. I doubt that any current student can fully appreciate the education that they have received, but, soon, and for the rest of your life, it will begin paying dividends. And finally, how have you become involved with Belmont Hill since Harry
arrived at the school in seventh grade? My wife, Myra, and I have had the privilege of chairing the grandparents’ fund this past year. We have also had the opportunity to attend and give our support at a number of sporting events and extra-curricular school activities. I feel like the school has remained a constant in our lives since my oldest son first attended it. When my wife stepped down from the board almost 20 years ago, my oldest son, Jonathan, joined the board and has been very active in the school ever since. Ifeel confident in saying that Belmont Hill will always be a part of the Kraft family. ☐
Belmont Hill has definitely become a Kraft family tradition. As I stated earlier, all four of my sons were involved with the school. My wife was the first woman to serve on the executive committee of the board and [Belmont Hill] is probably the one educational institution for which all six of us share a common affection. We’re all very passionate about our support for the school. I couldn’t be more proud to know that a second generation of the Kraft family, starting with Harry, are now attending this school. As a very successful individual, what would your advice be to an 18-year old graduate who is just beginning his journey into adulthood?

Donald Stewart continued from page 1 walled hut atop the cliff—which, he quickly informed us, used to represent the highest point of elevation in Belmont. He instructed us to sprawl along the perimeter of the cool stone wall, our books open to the first page of Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury. The afternoon sun filtered in through the stillgrowing spring leaves as he read aloud to us about a boy close to our age, who looked out from his fourth-story cupola to take in the panorama of his town at dawn. As Douglas Spaulding pretends to reanimate the town in the book, instructing his neighbors to wake up one by one, turning off the streetlights, we could act as if we were doing the same, directing our peers to exit from their classroom buildings, ringing the bells at exactly 1:35. Later in the book, when Bradbury described the “Tarot Witch” in a fortune-telling machine as being enclosed in a glass “caul,” Mr. Stewart explained the auspices of a birth with the caul, the amnion, covering the infant’s head, and how Holden Caulfield, protagonist of J.D. Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye, got his name from David Copperfield by Dickens, in which the caul is particularly symbolic of innocence. Such is the nature of a typical Mr. Stewart
class, and a typical Mr. Stewart tangent. Alas, all good things must come to an end. The trapezoidal tables shall fall into disarray. The unicycling bear will have to find a new tether for his cable. The timeline, bumper stickers, whaling images, extra credit standings, and other odds and ends will finally come down off the white boards. It is doubtful that the next resident of this classroom will need the microphone for when his voice gives out after a 3B soccer practice or some editorial squabbling over The Prospector. Generations of students at Belmont Hill have benefited from such classroom experiences, the lucky recipients of Mr. Stewart’s talents as an educator and his steadfast dedication to teaching. His longevity, spanning a remarkable tenure of nearly fifty years, has allowed him to leave an indelible mark on our school. Multiply the wondrous experience of one student by the hundreds he has taught, critiqued, mentored, coached, counseled, inspired, and befriended, and you will just begin to realize the profound effects of his decades of service. But, rather than lament the loss of this exemplary educator, let us celebrate his legacy. ☐

Mr. Stewart: Four decades of history 1969
Joseph Troderman Panel Staff Forty-four years. To say that Mr. Stewart has been at Belmont Hill for half the school’s life does not say all that needs be said. He came to Belmont Hill in 1967 as a teacher of English and a coach of track, working with the throwers. Realizing that no fall sport ideally prepared track runners for the rigors of distance running, he started the school’s cross country program the next year as a club sport, to have it become an official team three years later. Though it is now a flourishing program, Mr. Stewart modestly shrugs off his part in the transition: “We needed the runners, so I started the team.” He then led the cross country program until his first sabbatical, after which he returned to coaching soccer in the fall. In the late 1960’s, the Middle School soccer teams were mixed, with an eighth and ninth grade A team and an eighth and ninth grade B team. When the school decided to change the program due to increased interest and have a Form II team, a Form III A team, and a Form III B team, Mr. Stewart took up the role as the “Killer B’s” coach and, still avidly at it all these years later, he will hand the coaching reins of this team to Mr. Leonardis next year. After Mr. Fisher’s retirement, Mr. Stewart became the head coach of the varsity track team. He held that position until the early 1980’s when Mr. Kirby took over. Mr. Stewart continued coaching track throwers on the Middle School team and later as an assistant coach with the varsity squad. In his own high school days, Mr. Stewart had taken two years of German and he later chose to minor in it at college. He furthered his study of the language by going to graduate school at the University of Freiburg in Germany. Although his graduate course was a two-semester program, he left after one semester for two reasons: “I ran out of money, and having met my future wife before going, I didn’t want to leave her waiting.” There had been some teaching of German at Belmont Hill in the 1950’s, though the program was not extensive. Mr. Stewart, after taking a course at Tufts University in foreign language teaching, rose to the challenge. Starting in 1972, he taught German to the Upper School for eight years. In what clearly presaged today’s technology frenzy, Mr. Stewart taught a course in media from the early ‘70s into the late ‘80s. The media class was a predecessor to our digital video course and was project based. In all areas media-related, he was the expert on campus. His father a TV repairman, Mr. Stewart’s love of technology began at an early age: “I’ve always loved to

Student recitals Diego Fernandez del Castillo Staff Writer The students involved in private music lessons recently held a series of studio recitals. Taught by many talented teachers, the boys worked diligently all year to improve, and these recitals demonstrated their outstanding work. The evenings provided both entertainment and a chance to support the arts here on campus. On May 3rd the students of Letitia Hom and Rich Greenblatt participated in a fantastic concert, students ranging in ages from First Former Tommy Ruggles and sophmore J.P. Miller, to senior David Kohler. Later that week, on May 6th, the students of Matthew Wright and Dan Loschen displayed a wide array of talents. Among the performers were sophomores Owen Morgan, Thomas Cahill, and Nick Favaloro, as well as senior Nick Andre.
“These recitals were a great way to measure the progress every student achieved throughout the year,” Other students of Ian Carroll, Jamie Dunphy, Al DiPietro, Dan Loschen, and Matthew Wright performed on May 11. Their recital featured a wide variety of instrumentalists including guitarists, saxophonists, pianists, and a trumpeter. “These recitals were a great way to measure the progress every student has made throughout the year,” said sophomore saxophonist Ian Meyer. The final recital was held on May 12. This concert, consisting of only guitarists and pianists, featured the students of Julie Briggs, Manny Pettine, and Dan Fiori. Sophomore Danny Fischer played an exceptional rendition of “Hallelujah” by Jeff Buckley. Bringing a classical element to the recital, freshman Pedro Ribeiro played a composition from Lanz, and First Former Matt Armstrong performed a piece by Debussy. These four recitals were a great way for students to demonstrate the remarkable musical talent alive and well at Belmont Hill and to provide a wonderful set of entertaining evening events. ☐

The 2011 varsity tennis season was marked by constant improvement. Though down four of the top six players from the 2010 team, it didn’t take the team long to rebuild. After dropping two of their first five matches, they won the next 12 matches to finish 14 and 2. Captains Jack Welch (ISL All League Player) and Charlie Madden (All League Honorable Mention) were instrumental in the run of wins. Also receiving an All League Award was returning league MVP, Carl Reid, in his second season for Belmont Hill. The team traveled to New Haven, Connecticut for the 2011 New England Prep School Championships and made it to the semi finals before losing to the eventual champion Hopkins Team. Over Memorial Day weekend, Carl Reid, Jack Welch, Charlie Madden, Nic Cary, Ezra Frankel. and Junior Nick VonTurkovich competed in the New England Prep School Tennis Championships for individuals. Nic Cary and Charlie Madden won the top flight of the doubles championship - bringing the title back home to Belmont Hill School for the second year in a row. Ezra Frankel and Nic VonTurkovich finished in third place.☐
Finishing the season with , the golf team captured another ISL league title at the Kingman/ISL tournament on their home course at Belmont Country Club. Led by senior captain Matt Isner, the team began the season with try-outs at Fresh Pond. Adding sophomores Tripp Hostetter and Andrew Lynch to the returning crowd, the team teed off the season with a match against Milton Academy. After a narrow victory there and a disappointing loss to Governor’s, the team rebounded, beating that team later in the season, and losing only to Thayer Academy before the Kingman Tournament. At the tournament, the team won comfortably with a seven-stroke lead, and returning sophomore Patrick Burpee scored 72, bringing him to the front of the field in the ISL. After a clinching the ISL title, the team competed in their final match, beating Middlesex, but falling short of rival St. Sebastian’s. It was a culmination, nevertheless, to a “terrific season for the team” in the words of Coach Whitney, since Harry Glor, Patrick, and Kevin Burpee each earned All-League honors. The team looks forward to another equally successful season under rising junior Patrick Burpee’s captainship. ☐
