5th Reunion: June 2014
Welcome to sophomore year. The stress and naivety of our first year are long past and an exciting year waits on the road ahead. We all were quite busy at the tail end of the school year and throughout the summer; here are some tidbits of what everyone has been doing… Martha Cammack said that she had another fun-filled summer. She worked as a camp counselor at Camp DeSoto in Alabama. Bess Trotter and a whole motley crew of other ’09ers, including Drew Johnson, Sarah Chase Webber, Elle Czura, Jordan Martinez, Will Ryan, and Alec Smith, spent the summer in Charleston, S.C., passing time, reuniting, and working in and around town. Meanwhile, miles away in Barcelona, Spain, David Block spent the summer studying international marketing and is looking forward to another season of lacrosse at Haverford. Molly Seeley spent this summer rescuing lost baby animals in the tundra. She wishes to say, “You’re welcome.” Busy spending her time with interesting and intense research, Chloe Kwon worked at the BioScience Research Collaborative at Rice University. She worked closely with a renowned professor and investigated the process of membrane fusion while examining proteins that provide control. I wish I knew exactly what all that meant, but Chloe says she had a great time working on her research! Baobao Zhang also had a great internship experience over the summer. She worked with PBS in New York and had the opportunity to catch up with some other EHS graduates while in the city. She also paid a visit to the 202 (D.C.) and saw the Epes family and Breanna Jones. Baobao cannot wait to spend the spring

semester at Peking University. (Have fun and send us pictures, Baobao!) Up the Eastern Seaboard, in Maine, Lester Batiste enjoyed hanging out and relaxing after finishing up a good year at Colby. He and some friends from Colby rented a house and took up summer jobs working as painters. In the afternoons, they would go swimming and tubing…talk about living the life. Lester admits, “Though Maine isn’t as exciting as my hometown of Chicago, I have thoroughly enjoyed my summer because Maine is so beautiful and peaceful.” Lester headed back early for football season (with Mike Jones ’10) and is looking forward to a great year! Another Colby student told me what she’d been up to all summer. Abbott Matthews returned for her spring semester in Maine after studying in Spain and then spent the summer working with a law firm in her hometown of Wilson, N.C. ’Twas the season of debutante when Nadia Odai-Afotey, Paige Micklem, Trina Brady ’08, and Alex Helm visited Abbott for her debut. Abbott also will be trying out for the Colby soccer season this year, so we wish her luck with that! Out on the West Coast, Pete
Markoski worked for Dick Clark Productions and is planning to work on the production team for the American Music Awards in November. He writes that he loved the energy out in L.A. and is looking forward to the experience at the AMAs. He also has been signed to an entertainment company in Virginia to be a DJ and will be releasing an Electronica EP in January 2011. We’ll be looking on iTunes for you! Back in Washington, Haley Morgan worked all summer at DC Magazine and for the Washington Humane Society’s annual Fashion for Paws charity event. She also took some time to visit Charleston before beginning her year at Vanderbilt. Lauren Marshall was quite busy this summer, too. She spent the summer volunteering at a soup kitchen and interning at a non-profit in downtown D.C. Next year, she is looking forward to her internship with Joe Sestak’s campaign for Senate, as well as learning Twi for a study-abroad opportunity in Ghana. She admits she is drawn to visit Ghana after receiving the book “All God’s Children Need Traveling Shoes” from Mrs. Park. Lauren’s younger brother, Chris ’12, is playing football this year and is looking
It is truly hard to believe that almost three months have passed since the Class of 2010 participated in its final ceremony in front of Hoxton House! Shortly after farewells were said on the Holy Hill, many members of our class partook in some version of a beach vacation and popular destinations included Myrtle Beach, S.C., and Sea Island, Ga. I joined my parents in France in early June, where I ran into fellow French-speaking classmate Frances Brandley, and we were able to relive our glory days of AP French Language over a “diner au restaurant” and a bit of “faire du shopping” in Paris. Chelsea Jack visited Cal Bobola and Trevor Bobola ’11 in Jamestown, R.I., for a week. Vincent Mariano also joined Chelsea for the visit, as well as Mark Herzog ’11. The group had a chance encounter with Mackenzie Nichols ’11 on a street in Newport, R.I. After accepting his Scholastic Art Gold Medal award in New York, Bayly Mears returned to the District for several weeks in June for an internship with Sen. John Cornyn’s office, as a continuation of his May Program. After a quick hop and a skip through Spain and Turkey, Lily Merrill returned to her native New York to celebrate her own country’s independence over July 4 weekend with fellow classmates Benjamin Baldwin, Will Frazier, Coles Lawton, Reddin Woltz, and Alexandra Vandeventer. Juliette Crowther spent several weeks traveling abroad with Kate Frediani, making stops in London, Paris, Florence, and Venice. While in London, Juliette
