FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL

This last September, I had the pleasure of addressing parents on the subject of games during Orientation Day activities. We began with the following excerpt: A game is composed of freedom, barriers, and purposes. That’s easy enough to see.

What’s trickier to see is how this comprises a triangle.... But wherever we look through life, we find that these three points— freedom, barriers, and purposes—are interdependent to some degree. It’s one of the wildest-looking things a person ever studied.

One has to look it over and think of different examples to satisfy oneself that this relationship does exist because it looks very illogical that if you increase barriers, you increase freedom and purposes—or if you increase freedom, you increase barriers and purposes. It just doesn’t seem right at first look. One has to work with it a bit. It’s not intuitive.

This triangle does, however, provide another way to explain why the idea of “let children do anything they want, express themselves in any way” doesn’t work. It’s a total absence of barriers, so there’s no triangle. No game. And they’ll be very unhappy.

...Children with games to play have purposes, barriers, and freedoms and tend to be happier.

Education: Fostering Reason and Self-Determinism in Students based on the works of L. Ron Hubbard

This concept, the pursuit of knowledge as a game, is fundamental to Delphian’s approach to education. In helping students learn to think with this interrelationship of purposes, barriers, and freedoms, I have had many a conversation along these lines:

Me: Do you generally think of a wall as a barrier or as a freedom?

Student: A barrier.

Me: Did you have a purpose in mind when you thought of it in that way?

Student: Wanting to get through it for some reason.

Me: With that same purpose in mind, would you consider a door to be a barrier or a freedom?

Purpose

Freedom Barriers =GAME

Student: I suppose I would think of it as a freedom. I’d be free to walk through it, to open it, to use it for my purpose of getting through the wall.

Me: If you and I shared the purpose of getting through the wall, I suppose we would both think of walls as barriers and doors as freedoms. Agreeing on that, we’d make a pretty good team.

Student: True.

Me: If we wanted more of a challenge, could we set someone up on the other side of the wall with a different purpose, maybe one that would cause them to think of walls as freedoms and doors as barriers?

Student: It would definitely make our game more of a challenge if their purpose was “to keep us out.” The existence of a purpose like that would be a “barrier” to our original purpose!

Me: Pursuing our purpose, we would be tearing down walls or building doors while others, pursuing theirs, would be building walls or tearing down doors. We wouldn’t be on the same team, certainly.

Student: (thinking) Yeah...

Me: For a student, what purpose do you think makes barriers to study most real as barriers?

Student: The purpose of understanding for application.

Me: Can a different purpose make the barriers to study less real, maybe even leading a student to consider it a “freedom” to pass by a misunderstood word?

Purpose: get to the other side of the wall

Freedom: door Barriers: walls

=GAME

get to the other side of the wall

Student: I suppose if a student’s main purpose for study was to memorize the data just so they could pass a test, or if their main purpose was to just move fast, with or without understanding.

Me: If you observed a student trying to disguise some manifestation of a barrier from their teacher, what would you suspect?

Student: That their purpose isn’t understanding, but something else. If they were purely pursuing the purpose of understanding, they would tackle the barrier aggressively to achieve their purpose— and ask for help if they needed it. Freedoms and barriers depend on purposes!

Purpose: safety inside walls

Freedom: walls Barriers: doors

=GAME

stay inside walls

Beyond conversations like this, students often discover for themselves a variety of applications of the relationship of these three components of games, both in and out of the classroom.

One can imagine how unworkable misaligned purposes can be on a sports team. A coach can present the purpose, “to win by playing as a team” to their players, but even one player pursuing the purpose of “becoming a human highlight reel” can make the team, as a team, unsuccessful, and undermine the game, even the season.

Looking beyond our own environment here, imagine a student studying for understanding and application in a classroom where the teacher’s purpose, for whatever reason, is to have their students score high on standardized tests.

This insight into games helps shed light on how we can all work together to optimize the Delphian experience for every student.

A further excerpt from the same source given earlier:

...purposes are very easily aligned and very easily handed out. They shouldn’t be neglected. They help create games.”

L.Ron Hubbard

In the rare case where a Delphian student is found cheating or breaking an important school rule, I expect faculty to see not a “cheater” or a “troublemaker,” but a student whose purpose is out of alignment with the game we are all playing here.

Without this understanding, the “solution” might be more along the lines of determining appropriate punishment to prevent the student’s pursuit of such a “freedom” again in the future. With an understanding of the importance of aligned purposes, a more effective approach might be about reestablishing in the student their basic purpose for education, one which almost certainly aligns with the school’s purpose for that student—and works within the barriers defined by the school’s rules and expectations. This topic calls to mind a recent experience. A severe ice storm had disrupted normal class schedules. Day students, any faculty not housed on campus, and all kitchen staff were unable to get out of their homes safely, let alone drive up the hill. While campus faculty were performing other duties, including food prep, to cope with the disruption, upper level students organized and ran study halls for their Upper School classmates. Shortly after their roll call, I walked onto the fourth floor and found a full upper school calmly pursuing their purpose of acquiring an education—without skipping a beat. When purposes in a large group are aligned, it makes misaligned purposes in other groups look downright painful. And so they are.

Written in various ways over the years, one of Delphian’s larger purposes has always been: To revolutionize the field of education using the educational technologies of L. Ron Hubbard.

An understanding of “games,” as it applies to the field of education, and a purpose shared by students, staff and parents alike, is a big part of why Delphian is such a revolutionary place. It is “revolutionary” to be so well aligned as a group. But this concept of “games” is only

one of many fundamental approaches to education found in the book Education: Fostering Reason and Self Determinism in Students. If you haven’t already read it, I encourage you to do so. If you have, I encourage you to do so again.

A lot of headway has been made, but it is a big game and we need to reach more people with this purpose and include them in our game, for it is one that truly empowers young people and the educators who care for them.

We are enrolling. We are hiring. We are growing, and we will continue to grow in proportion to the number of people that share our purpose.

BOOK LAUNCH

THE ETHICS & INTEGRITY HANDBOOK FOR TEENS

Get your copy of The Ethics and Integrity Handbook for Teens today and join the movement towards a brighter, more ethical future!

The handbook that teaches teens essential life principles for achieving happiness and success!

In today’s increasingly fast-paced and complex world, individuals face numerous challenges and choices that can impact their lives and the lives of those around them. Recognizing this, American educator and philosopher L. Ron Hubbard studied and wrote extensively on the subjects of ethics and morals. He developed easy-to-use tools that anyone, including teenagers, can employ to improve their lives and the lives of others.

This information is a part of the foundation of the Delphian School’s program and is invaluable in supporting and helping students grow into ethical, responsible adults. For years, this valuable information has been available in a course for students of schools licensed to use the Delphi Program™.

It is now also available to the public through Heron Books. The Ethics and Integrity Handbook for Teens, specifically designed for use by teens and young adults, will enable the next generation to make the world a better, happier place where they can achieve their goals and thrive.

The Ethics and Integrity Handbook for Teens provides the answers to these significant questions and more:

• Have you ever done something you weren’t proud of but did not know what to do about it?

• Have you ever struggled to repair a broken relationship?

• Have you ever wondered why you or someone you know keeps repeating harmful behavior?

• Is there a clear-cut way to tell right from wrong?

As Delphians, we can take pride in knowing that we are shaping our future generations by sharing this knowledge with the world. Promoting and sharing this book can help create a world where happiness and success go hand in hand.

ETHICS

What are we talking about when we speak of ethics?

Ethics is about right and wrong conduct. It’s about good and evil. Throughout human history, people have struggled to understand right and wrong, good and evil, and ethics and justice. In fact, a quick review of dictionaries will show that the terms ethics and justice have actually become confused with each other.

What is needed is a simple explanation of these things and workable tools that anyone can use to help themselves do better in life.

Ethics consists simply of the actions one takes upon oneself to improve one’s survival1 and success in all parts of one’s life. It is a personal thing. When one is ethical, one is making decisions that have a positive effect on oneself and others.

Justice is the action taken on the individual by the group when one fails to take these actions oneself.

STUDENT ETHICS & INTEGRITY SUCCESS

“This form [Form 7] changed my life. I transformed from an individual who had good intentions but was out of control, to an individual who can now confront his environment and handle it competently. During this form, my main barrier was my ethics. I would reach new heights of trust and then fall on my face in some way. Towards the end of this form, I finally learned how to really apply the ethics technology before I crash. I also learned how important it is to apply and use it when you are succeeding also, not just failing.”

-William Collins Form 8 student

“Before Delphian I was a follower. I let everything happen to me, instead of actually making it happen myself. I never really cared about my grades or how much I understood something. I let myself believe that I was unintelligent and that I would never be able to actually be smart. At my other schools I would find myself in unethical situations simply because the idea of saying no was far scarier then the repercussions of my actions. I am proud today that I’m now an intelligent person who uses integrity.”

-Grace Suplee Form 7 student

“I learned vital information from Planning and Organization, Study Handbook, Integrity and the Code of Honor, and so many other courses, and I use this information daily. Form 6 did change me. My ethics and responsibility levels did rise throughout this form, and I enjoyed every moment of it. I’m looking forward to Form 7.”

-Alex Maddox Form 7 student

ALUMNI WEEKEND

A Celebration of Success and Mentorship

Over 200 alumni gathered at the Delphian School for Alumni Weekend 2023 to celebrate success and mentorship. The weekend was a testament to the strong community and support system that the Delphian School fosters.

The event allowed alumni to reconnect with old classmates and give back through sharing their knowledge and experiences with current students, who were grateful for the opportunity to learn from individuals who once walked the same halls.

“We are thrilled to see so many alumni return to the Delphian School for this special weekend,” said Director of Public Outreach Tkeisha Wydro (class of 1999). “It’s a testament to the strong bonds and lasting impact that the Delphian experience has on our alumni.”

One of the weekend’s highlights was the thirty individual seminars organized by students for students and led by alumni, who discussed their careers and offered mentorship to students. Students interested in business, architecture, finance, music, entertainment, writing, marketing and science were given the chance to explore

their interests and expand their knowledge about different career paths from active, successful alumni working in those industries.

Maxine Anderson (class of 2018), a successful entrepreneur and Delphian alumna, encouraged students to “Be curious and try new, hard things” in her seminar on entrepreneurship and building a startup tech company. Her inspiring words resonated with students eager to learn from her experiences.

Another seminar, led by a panel of alumni including Emma Aaron (class of 2020), Mac Feilmeier (class of 2018), Cody Malick (class of 2011), and Adam Cummings (class of 1995), focused on college experiences and advice. Cody discussed how tough the transition from a small school like Delphian to a large university like Oregon State University can be and shared what it took for him to get to graduation. Emma, who had a very positive experience attending Western Governors University online, discussed how the “exposure to concepts, people and structure of learning topics I was interested in was very valuable.”

Adam, who attended Boise State for his undergrad and then later earned his master’s degree, stressed the importance of time management in achieving academic success in higher education, saying, “What you get out of it is what you put into it.” Mac Feilmeier encouraged the students not to limit their higher education to college, saying, “You don’t need fifteen hours of lectures a week to learn. You are Delphians. You can learn anything.” The students’ inquiries overflowed the time limit, compelling some to linger a few extra minutes, eager to pose just one more question.

Meanwhile, in the science lab, alumnus and engineer Ralph Mesmer (class of 1984), biologist and chemist Christine Perpelitt (class of 1989), and astrophysicist Connor Chen were hosting a sciencebased seminar discussing many topics from the value of being able to make quick calculations because they did the Math Facts on the Computer program to how useful using Study Technology™ has been as they pursued their education. Students had numerous inquiries ranging from the workings of black holes to the necessity of college.

In answering a student on how to handle the academic workload, Ralph replied, “If you ‘like it,’ you will not need to worry about focusing and getting the knowledge and handling the workload.” Christine encouraged students to “find professors who have an

appreciation for what they are teaching.” She also urged students, “Don’t be afraid to ask the professor questions; you’re paying the tuition.” Connor passed on the qualities that he felt have helped to make him successful: “curiosity, appreciation for knowledge, determination, and hard work.” He also encouraged students to “take advantage of the connections you can make with professors as they can someday be your allies when you need them to vouch for you or to ask them questions.”

The students valued the guidance provided during the seminars, and the theme of making connections, mentorship, and honest conversations continued through the weekend, as alumni had the opportunity to catch up with old friends, explore the campus, and attend various fun social events.

As the weekend came to a close, alumni left with a renewed sense of connection to their alma mater. The Delphian School looks forward to continuing this tradition of mentorship and success at future Alumni Weekends.

CULTIVATING CONNECTIONS

Delphian Alumni Network Association News

This past Alumni Weekend, Lee Rector (class of 2009) & Savana St. Aubin (class of 2012) took on the volunteer position of Heads of Alumni Engagement and Communication for the Delphian Alumni Association. This new role aims to cultivate and nurture mentorship connections between alumni and students, fostering a supportive network that encourages continued growth and development.

Delphian Magazine: What inspired you to join the Alumni Association in a leadership position?

Lee and Savana: As alumni, we know firsthand that Delphian graduates are changing the world. Delphian is an integral part of our lives. It’s where we crafted ourselves into who we are. It’s where we cultivated our ability to

ABOVE L-R NICK KOENIG (2016), ERICA RODGERS (2014), SAVANA ST. AUBIN (2012), LEE RECTOR (2009) OPPOSITE ALUMNI WEEKEND ACTIVITIES

take on anything we have a mind to do. It’s where we stumbled, learned, and grew into the adults we are today. And to risk getting a little mushy, it’s also where we fell in love.

Right now, Delphian is tackling a massive mission worthy of all our assistance: to empower young adults to bring positive change in the world through reason, creativity, and integrity. It is an honor for us to take on the Heads of Alumni Engagement and Communications role to contribute to this effort.

DM: What will be your focus?

L&S: We have already begun working on several mentorship-focused initiatives that will allow more and

more students to connect with alumni, practice their networking skills, and get real-world advice on how to tackle their dreams.

We really feel that mentorship is at the heart of the Alumni Association. For example, the Alumni-hosted seminars have been a part of Alumni Weekend for decades and are excellent for fostering organic mentorship between alumni and students.

Since we were students, we have loved the connection with alumni, students, and staff from these seminars. Coming full circle from being a student asking for advice to hosting and offering advice is gratifying. This past Alumni Weekend, a student was inspired by Lee’s seminar and came up to him afterward, expressing a genuine interest in aviation and becoming a pilot.

We make it a point to attend as many Alumni Weekends as possible and host seminars whenever possible.

DM: How can mentorship be achieved outside of Alumni Weekend?

L&S: Let us answer that question with a huge win! The same student from Alumni Weekend reached out to Lee via the new Alumni networking website. That led to an incredibly enjoyable 30-minute phone call, where the student walked away equipped with clear next steps and recommendations for how to achieve his goal of getting his pilot’s license by the time he graduates from Delphian.

Currently enrolled students can also access the alumni website to make mentoring connections, get help from their supervisors, or work with Tkeisha Wydro (class of 1999), Director of Public Outreach, for help making those valuable one-on-one connections with alumni in their fields of interest.

DM: Can you give more information on how the Alumni Website works?

L&S: Long story short, it’s a website that allows alumni and students to connect with each other. From one alum to another, it is what social media was initially meant to be before it became data farming.

The web address is www.DelphianAlumni.org. It’s open to anyone who has ever attended Delphian and it already has hundreds of alumni signed on. The student profiles have special, limited access to reach out to alumni in their chosen field via messaging through the website.

From there, you can message and email back and forth or swap phone numbers and schedule a call because who wouldn’t love getting a call from a student or fellow alum where you can mentor, network, and reminisce?

A map feature lets you see who is in your local area (or where you plan to visit). There’s a directory to find all

our old friends or others in industries we’re interested in. There’s even a place to post job opportunities.

DM: When is the best time for alumni to register?

L&S: The best time is now. Don’t wait to finish reading this. We’re all busy. We’re Delphians! So, sign up now. We can’t wait to meet everyone and work together to create a beautiful future.

DM: Are more volunteer opportunities available with the Alumni Association if others want to help?

L&S: Yes, there are several projects we need help with right now that can be done from wherever you are. You do not have to make it up the hill. So, if you have an hour or a handful of them you can put in each week or month, let’s talk. You can reach us via DelphianAlumni.org or Tkeisha Wydro (tkeisha@delphian.org) at the school.

DM: Do you have any final thoughts you’d like to share?

L&S: We’re not kidding about signing up. You’re too busy to do it later. Sign up now!

A HIGH-TECH SURPRISE!

Archangel’s Donation Brings New CuttingEdge Technology to Delphian School’s Tech Lab

Delphian School’s Theater Department Brought a Classic Tale to Life with A Christmas Carol: Scrooge and Marley

Delphian School’s Theater Department has again wowed audiences with their latest performance, A Christmas Carol: Scrooge & Marley. This delightful production of the beloved holiday tale by Charles Dickens was adapted for the stage by Israel Horovitz and brought to life by the talented students of Delphian.

Senior Pennelope Arezzini, who played the role of Jacob Marley, took on a leadership role within the cast this year. She shared, “I loved being a part of this production. I grew as an actress, performer, teammate, and leader.” Pennelope and her fellow cast members’ dedication and hard work were evident in their performance which shone on stage.

Director Corey Orthmann was thrilled with the cast who pulled off an incredible show and the crew who tirelessly

worked to add the extra magic the show needed, from hand painting the backdrop to cutting paper into bits to use as “snow” to fall from the ceiling on stage. Corey said about the production, “I’ve thought Delphian should perform A Christmas Carol for years, and I’m thrilled to have finally seen it happen. I’m so proud of everyone involved in bringing this classic story to life. The cast, crew, and staff did an amazing job.”

The production was a testament to the power of the arts and the Delphian community’s ability to come together and create something special. The recording of the performance is now available on Delphian’s YouTube channel for all to enjoy.
