Essential Con versa tions DR. JOHN P. LEWIS
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was an amazing American. After attending Bowdoin College in Maine and studying languages in Europe, he accepted a professorship at Harvard. He later became a well-known poet and writer. Longfellow penned popular poetry, published textbooks in four languages, and wrote a travel guide for the European traveler. In the 1840s, he was broadly admired and actually became the first “American Idol” type celebrity. Yet, despite his notoriety as a writer, many people considered Longfellow to be a classic educator driven by the need to teach clarity of word and simplicity in understanding. Historically, Longfellow is credited with many quotations. One of his quotes in particular carries a powerful teaching message; he said, “A single conversation across a table with a wise man is better than ten years’ mere study of books.” And with those words, American educators began examining practices, principles, and methods used to promote quality education. It seems that the need for clear thinkers and role models with a deep commitment to intellectual society was as apparent then as it is today. Those who choose a career in education accept the challenge of one the most difficult and important jobs in the world. Great teachers are always seeking pathways to connect with their students and to influence them in a positive way. Cape Henry teachers constantly evaluate the best ways to instruct students without sacrificing the integrity of the curriculum. They teach in labs, in classrooms, at Harkness Tables, on-line, in advisor groups, on stage, and on the ball fields. They teach in settings that promote the greatest understanding. And because of their use of various venues of instruction, we witness the successful outcomes of the Cape Henry experience. We are delighted when we hear improvement in reading and sweet voices in song, when we observe correct solutions to complex problems and notice improving scores, and when we hear success stories at alumni events and learn about their accomplishments in the news. We feel pride when we read notes from our alumni and are reassured that our “conversations across the table” remain as meaningful today as they were centuries ago. One last thought: I believe that Longfellow must have experienced the same degree of satisfaction from his work that our teachers receive from their hard work today. When the city of Cambridge grew, Brattle Street needed to be widened, so it became necessary to remove “the spreading chestnut tree,” which Longfellow had walked under every day and had written about in his Village Blacksmith. As a tribute to Longfellow, his students planned a surprise gift for his 72nd birthday. Seven hundred children donated their pennies to pay for a beautiful armchair – a chair carved from the chestnut tree’s wood. Longfellow placed the chair in his study near the fireplace, and whenever one of the children would stop by, he would let the child sit in the armchair while they discussed poetry. Amy Waters Yarsinske, Valedictorian of the Class of 1981, enjoys a conversation with Dr. Lewis, just as she remembers having them with Dr. Moomaw while in his class years ago.

The Ribbon Cutting Ceremony took place in front of the new facility with parents, faculty, friends of the school, and dignitaries assembled to view Mr. Jim Sparks and his daughter, Kristin '02, hold the ribbon while Mr. Greg and Linda Cross and their daughter, Rachel, cut the ribbon. The Crosses purchased the honor of cutting the ribbon at last year’s Grand Auction.
Dr. John P. Lewis addresses the audience.
Dr. John P. Lewis welcomed guests to the facility’s packed auditorium after the ceremonial ribbon cutting. Opening remarks were made by Mr. Jim Sparks, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, and by his daughter, Kristin. Mr. Aneesh Paul Chopra, Virginia’s Secretary of Technology, was the guest speaker, and Senior Emily Burke spoke about the future of Cape Henry students.

Soon after the start of school, once the students settled into their routines, numerous before and after school workshops were held for parents and faculty on how to manipulate their information and navigate the new Cape Henry website. Not only is the site aesthetically pleasing, it is incredibly functional, as well. During its inaugural year, its capabilities have only begun to be introduced. Mr. Kevin Shain, Director of Technology, and Mrs. Dani Dayton, Database & Website Manager, conducted hands-on workshops to answer questions and explain some of the “hidden treasures” to the parents and faculty.
Faculty Feature
Mr. Charlie Lonergan FACULTY MEMBER • COLLEGE COUNSELOR • COACH • SPORTS INFORMATION DIRECTOR Mr. Charlie Lonergan joins the Cape Henry Collegiate School Faculty in many roles this year. In addition to being a College Counselor, Charlie is also serving as the Middle School newspaper instructor, the Sports Information Director for the athletic programs, and the Boys Varsity lacrosse coach. Before joining Cape Henry, Mr. Lonergan was in graduate school at Springfield College where he worked as a graduate assistant for the men’s lacrosse team and earned his Master of Education degree in sport management. Prior to enrolling in graduate school, Mr. Lonergan lived in Boston, Massachusetts where he spent five years coaching high school lacrosse and helped start a non-profit company in honor of a former player who tragically lost his life (21 Lacrosse). Also during that time, Mr. Lonergan was a correspondent for the Woburn Times-Chronicle, Inside Lacrosse Magazine, and Spare Change Newspaper, writing stories on high school, college, and professional sports, and covering news and events for the homeless community in the greater Boston area. He graduated from Hobart College in 2000 with a degree in English and communications. When asked about specific areas of his new responsibilities, Varsity Lacrosse Coach and College Counselor, Mr. Lonergan had specific answers ––complete with observations, goals, and aspirations.
O n AT H L E T IC S “There is a great deal of energy around the lacrosse program and the varsity players have been welcoming of the change. I’m sure it is a difficult time for them, having to get used to a new head coach in a time when college coaches need to be contacted, but they have been very respectful and eager to begin the team building process. “Aside from the varsity players, there is a general wave of excitement around the sport at CHCS, and that is great to be a part of. I am really looking forward to the spring season to see what levels of success we can attain. Along with that, though, I am looking forward to working with students in the Lower and Middle Schools to maintain their excitement and help them achieve the levels of success they desire.
16
“In the end, I want the lacrosse program to have a family feel from the varsity level to the Lower School; I want the younger players to have a connection to the older players, and vice versa; I want there to be program pride not only at the varsity level, but at the lower levels as well. So far, that seems to be growing at a rapid pace. At the first fall youth clinic run by the varsity players as a team fundraiser, we welcomed 40 Middle and Lower School players to Cape Henry for a great day of lacrosse. It was a great start to what I hope continues to be a successful future for this program.

As for the Sports Information position, it is a very close match to my background. After having written for a couple publications and earning a Master’s in sport management the role of SID is something that I value greatly. It allows me to work with the athletics department and have a finger on the pulse of the teams and the athletes, which is important to me (as an administrator, coach and member of the CHCS community). Plus, being able to write the game stories and Athlete of the Week stories is very rewarding. It is a role that I relish here at Cape Henry, and one that I hope to continue doing in the future.

O n CO L L EGE COUN S E L ING “The college counseling staff here is a great team. Being able to work alongside, and learn from Mrs. Arlene Ingram is a very valuable experience for me. The level of knowledge she is able to pass along is tremendous, but at the same time, she is willing to give me a great deal of responsibility and let me run with it. “Specifically speaking, it has been a rewarding position so far due to the fact that I get to work so closely with Upper School students and parents in what is a very important transition period. From an athletic perspective, due to my background in coaching/recruiting at the college level, I feel that I have a great deal to offer Upper School athletes who are hoping to continue their playing experience at the college level. In terms of working with non-athletes, I feel very capable of guiding their college exploration process with them, but understand that there is much to learn. I look forward to continue that learning process and to continue helping Cape Henry students find their best college match. “In short, I am very excited to be working as a college counselor at Cape Henry. The School has a very talented and driven student body with a faculty and staff that will do everything in their power to help them succeed. I look forward to being a part of that process with them.”
Nobel Laureate Launches Lecture Series On Saturday, November 3, Cape Henry hosted a lecture by Nobel Laureate Dr. Anthony Leggett in the Dreyfus Family Auditorium. Dr. Leggett provided an overview of quantum mechanics, with specific emphasis in the areas of quantum entanglement and cryptography. Following his lecture, approximately 200 students, parents, and members of the local community were free to engage in a twenty-minute question and answer period. Dr. Leggett discussed applications for quantum mechanics in areas such as artificial intelligence and supercomputing. Perry Chair Tom Rodgers said Dr. Leggett’s speech is the first in a series of science lectures that will be brought to the community. Mrs. Pamela Racine organized Dr. Leggett’s appearance.
Perry Chair Tom Rodgers gave Dr. Leggett a tour of the new science and technology facility.

The first day of school and the events that follow closely thereafter always produce beautiful images and memories. The Middle and Upper Schools began the year with Convocation in the new Dreyfus Family Auditorium. The faculty wore robes and the Chairman of the Board and administrators welcomed the students. Many students were wide-eyed as they tried to locate their classrooms in the new Sparks Science and Technology Center. A plethora of faculty and staff were on hand to guide them through their schedules.

Nexus News “If you want to feel better about yourself, give to someone else.” – Dalai Lama Something extraordinary happened after our Nexus Tanzania trip last year. Upon our return from the plains of the Serengeti, our students decided to continue their efforts to make a difference. While in Tanzania, our students donated warm clothes to the Kilimanjaro Porters Assistance Project and money to the AIDS educational group, White Orange Youth Group. After donating $2,600 or six months of operating expenses, one of our students said, “Mr. Fluharty, we just helped save lives for another six-months.”
Sarah Potter – Masai Lands, Tanzania
So distraught our students were at the condition of Tanzanians, they continued their efforts by creating a scholarship fund that would finance a high school education for four students. It is a striking example of how Cape Henry students can and do make a difference, not only locally, but globally through Nexus community service projects. Whether building a kindergarten in Fiji, planting fruit trees in South Africa, or helping Mother Teresa’s orphanage in Calcutta, our students make a difference in someone’s life, and by doing so, become better people. This year we are visiting the Dalai Lama in Dharamsala, India for his spring lectures. It was the Dalai Lama who said, “If you want to feel better about yourself, give to someone else.” That is exactly what our students are learning during our Nexus programs.

Fall Athletic Report The Fall 2007 Season started with the word - “rebuild” - and ended with the word - “ reload.” Our student athletes seemed to be motivated to establish themselves as strong as the teams the School fielded in the past. They accomplished this task, and then some. A State Championship Cross Country Finalist, a Division II State Runner-Up, Two State Semi-Finalist Teams, and a State Quarterfinalist just to name a few. Coaches and athletes used the word “rebuild” as a motivational tool instead of as a branding, and it established Cape Henry Athletics as evolving competitively – as graduating classes leave their individual marks on our school. The Varsity Girls Volleyball Team, led by Coach Marck Weiss, nearly doubled their victories from last season with a 14-9 record to finish. They began their season competing with the best in the Fragile X Tournament and winning the Steward Invitational Tournament. This stellar all-sophomore class was constantly asked if their official roster was correct as it depicted all sophomores; and, after viewers watched them play, it was ominous to imagine this team in the years to come. Morgan Freeman, Kate Pleasants, Paige Wheeler, and Kensey Gooch, just to name a few of the eleven talented sophomores on this team combine both power and finesse that seems beyond their years. They defeated the eventual TCIS Champions, Norfolk Academy, in the last match of the season and took the Division II State Champions, Notre Dame Academy, to five games in the State Semi-Finals. No other words to say, except, “Great Season, Ladies!” Coach David Brun once again completes a phenomenal 14-9-1 season with Senior Captains Carter Mavromatis and Henri Noordanus driving the team. This Team continues to set the bar high with state ranked tournaments early in the season to prepare for late October. Even though the TCIS Regular Season match-up versus Norfolk Academy ended in defeat to Norfolk Academy, it was truly one of the best games of the season for area soccer and for the Cape Henry Collegiate Soccer Program. The 2007 Varsity Boys Soccer Team earning 14 wins over the course of the season behind the elite play of seniors Glenn Sullivan, Redding Deurance, and junior Matt Cheniae, proves that after graduating so many talented seniors from the Class of 2007, the Dolphin Soccer Program will always be competitive! The Varsity Boys Volleyball Team also had a successful season of 10-6. Coach Chris McGarity spent a great deal of the off season inviting our up and comings to the beach to play sand volleyball and it paid off. The Dolphins defeated last season’s TCIS Champions and this year’s title winners early in the season. Senior Chris Rosa epitomized the word Captain, as he positively led his team on and off the court. Coach McGarity has been successful in attracting athletes such as Dylan Shiflett, Terrell Allen, Clarke Templeton, Eric Ambrosino, and Barrett Jacobson to the Varsity Boys Volleyball Program in order to maintain our status within the conference. This program will continue to schedule strong area opponents and set their sites on a Championship Banner. This Team is deserving!

Exit 178 A, left on Pump Road, Right on Patterson, Left on River Road… Why do these directions sound familiar? Simply because our Varsity Field Hockey Program has competed in the State Semi-Finals and Finals for the past five seasons both at the Division I and II level. Season after season, Coach Kristen Wheeler continually produces a field hockey team to be reckoned with. TCIS Player of the Year, Captain Kelsey Scherrer, along with a strong supporting cast, Senior Captains, Liz Napolitano and Brittany Bertolino, and a very promising cast of underclassmen, completed an impressive 13-5-1 record for the ’07 season. The addition of junior goalie Julia LaSalvia to an already phenomenal junior class – Kristen Meredith, Melissa Anderson, Meggie Chicoine, Kaitlin Johnson, Kendall Burns, and forementioned Scherrer, in conjunction with a fabulous class of sophomore and freshman tells me the trip to Goochland is promising in ’08. An overtime loss to Walsingham Academy in the State Final, after defeating them twice earlier in the season, ended their season. Probably not as they had hoped, but this team proved they could play with anyone taking the Division I State Semifinalist Bulldogs to strokes in the TCIS Tournament Championship. Maybe the State Final happened to be a bad day at an inopportune time, but this was a great team that defined “reload!”
The 2007 Varsity Girls Tennis Team shared the Regular Season TCIS Championship with Norfolk Collegiate and Norfolk Academy to finish with a record of 11-4. They also had a nice run at the State Championship, losing to the eventual State Champions in the Semi-Finals. Coach Carol Bulkeley and Senior Captains Jamie Mandell, Emily Burke, and Maddie Baine guided their team to split results with Norfolk Academy and Norfolk Collegiate during the regular season. Seeds #1 and #2 Karling Watson and Brittany Pilkington measured up nicely with their opponents, in addition to the versatile play of Georgia Putney and Laney Clarke. This team picked up the slack after losing the contributing play of Kelsey Bergen to a season ending knee injury midway through the schedule. This Team has much to be proud of. Well done, Ladies! Coaches Buzz and Lori Cooper guided the 2007 Cross Country Teams to one of the best seasons of recent history. Kelli Morrisey captured her second TCIS and 2nd State Championship finishing #16 in the State Pool of over 250 runners. The leadership of Senior Meg O’Brien combined with the addition of athlete Emily Ahern produced a 4th place finish in the TCIS Championship with a limited roster of only 6 runners. Sophomore Anna Frieden saved her personal best for the State Meet finishing 2nd for the Lady Dolphin Cross Country Team. The Boys Cross Country Team also improved leaps and bounds from last season with David Blanchard winning a TCIS Championship at a 17:30 pace in the TCIS Meet. Seniors Oliver Goode and Michael Blanchard ran their personal best in the TCIS Meet to help their Team earn a 6th place finish in the conference. Jazz Rozier and Will Overman both had great seasons improving their times to under 17:50. Both Coach Coopers could not be more pleased with the 2007 season and the potential of their underclassmen for great things to come! So, our apologies to all of our Fall Teams that had to overcome a “rebuilding” season. Our only hope is that we can do the same kind of “rebuilding” in the winter and spring seasons. These teams definitely reaffirmed that Cape Henry Athletics can withstand the graduation of some pretty impressive seniors, as we reload with the Class of 2008!
