RACE TO THE TOP:

The Competition Venue Improvement Campaign

PROPOSED LIFT

PROJECT OVERVIEW

WHY?

• The COMPETITION VENUE IMPROVEMENT CAMPAIGN is a joint effort of Gould Academy, Sunday River, and Sunday River Ski & Snowboard Club to create the premier race training venue in the northeast. It is a major step forward for Gould and a significant improvement to race training facilities for all at Sunday River.

• A surface lift means more reps for all athletes training at Sunday River.

More reps means better results.

• The project includes eliminating the Over Easy trail, which currently intersects Monday Mourning.

• By decreasing the time up the mountain by almost 40%, a surface lift provides greater training efficiency.

• The second phase will see a surface lift installed the length of Monday Mourning.

• The improvements to the competition venue position Sunday River and Gould Academy as the premier race training venue in the northeast.

• A surface lift keeps athletes in contact with the snow, and engaged with their coaches.

• Total fundraising goal of the project is $1,000,000.

From the Head I didn't grow up skiing and am still reluctant to call myself a skier. I have taken lessons and can navigate my way down a green circle trail with minimal endangerment to myself and others. But I’m not too proud to say that I have a lot to learn before I can really call myself a skier.

This is one of the reasons our students impress me so much. They make it look so easy. Whether it is our freestyle athletes who contort themselves in the air with grace and athleticism; our alpine athletes and boardercross racers who either possess no fear, or contain such extraordinary mettle that they allow themselves to not feel it; our nordic skiers who routinely push themselves to the cardiovascular breaking point, only to fly right by it; our students who take part in our ski patrol program, Rugrats, and our partnership with Maine Adaptive who have such a passion for skiing and riding that they can’t contain it, it must be shared with others; and then there are those like me – the novices – I feed off the bravery it takes to come to a new school, and sometimes a new country, and take on a new sport.

Our activities at the mountain are not just about going fast or reaching higher. We see the mountain as an extension of the classroom. There you can learn, as those who are in ski patrol have, that slow is smooth and smooth is fast. You can learn that risks are calculated. That failure is an inevitable, and sometime essential part of success. And that even individual sports rely on the support of a team.

This issue of the GAzette focuses on winter at Gould. I hope you take time to learn about our students and alumni participating in winter sports around the world. I also hope you read our profile of our basketball teams, the “other winter sport”. They have brought so much excitement to our community and added another element to an already busy winter term at Gould.

Gould is a bustling and impressive place. To really experience it you need to see it in person. If you are a graduate, or the parent of one, come back and see Gould in action. I think you will leave invigorated and inspired.

Hope to see you on campus or on the slopes sometime soon, just make sure to give me plenty of room!

Around Campus Gould Welcomes Two New Trustees The Gould Academy Board of Trustees added two members to its ranks when Matthew Karatz ’90 and Laura Ordway ’89, P’20 began their terms. Karatz, a southern California native, is the co-managing partner of Quarter Group, a private real estate development and investment firm located in Los Angeles. Ordway is the co-director, along with her brother Spencer, also a Gould graduate, of Winona Camps of Bridgton, Maine.

She is proud to continue her family’s tradition of service to Gould -- her father, Al Ordway ’58, served on the Board of Trustees for 31 years, 24 of them as president.

Pious Ali to Speak at 2017 Commencement In January, Gould announced that Pious Ali, Portland City Councilor, will be the featured speaker at our 2017 commencement exercises. Ali is the first African-born Muslim American to be elected to a public office in Maine, becoming a member of the city’s elected Board of Public Education in 2013.

He was elected to Portland City Council this past November. Along with serving in that role, Ali is a Youth and Community Engagement Specialist at the University of Southern Maine’s Muskie School of Public Service. A native of Ghana, Ali migrated to the United States in 2000 and has called Portland his home for the past decade. He is also a gifted photographer and has worked as a photojournalist for a range of publications in Ghana.

Over 400 alumni gathered on campus this past September for 2016 Alumni Weekend. The weekend opened with a festive pig roast and included student musical performances, inductions into the Athletic Hall of Fame, presentations from Head of School Matt Ruby, and plenty of time to stroll the campus and catch up with old friends. The Class of 1966 presented Gould with a bronze sculpture of a Husky which now sits sentry outside of Bingham Hall. This year's festivities will take place on September 22 - 24. Hope to see you there!

Around Campus Winning Streak Continues at the Maine State Science Fair In late March, Gould sent nine students to compete in the Maine State Science Fair at Colby College. David Song ’19 carried the day with a first place prize in the Computer Science Division, a $500 award from Intel, and first place overall for the entire fair. As a result, in May, David will be traveling to the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) in Los Angeles. David’s project “Can Road Signs Talk to Pedestrians” is an app that aims to decrease the number of pedestrian injuries by generating a smartphone alert when a pedestrian approaches a crosswalk. This is the fourth year in a row a Gould student has won the Maine State Science Fair. Congratulations to David and Gould’s Science Department!

Gould Welcomes Award Winning Writers as Part of the Richard Blanco Visiting Writers Program & Retreat.

Over the past year, Gould students, faculty, and members of the Bethel community have been treated to workshops and readings from three award-winning writers. Performance poet and National Book Award finalist Patricia Smith visited campus in April and wowed the audience with her poetry. Monica Wood, a native of Mexico, Maine, visited campus in the fall to read from her memoir, When We Were The Kennedys, about her working class upbringing in Western Maine. Assistant Professor of English, Aaron Smith is the latest writer to visit campus to read from his latest book of poetry, Primer. The Richard Blanco Visiting Writers Program and Retreat is in its third year and invites writers to engage with Gould Academy students and faculty through classroom visits and workshops. Through public readings and events, the program exposes the larger community and region to great contemporary writers.

This was the first selection to the team for both Flores and Lacroix.

Students Travel the Globe Gould may be a small community nestled in the heart of western Maine, but our students are global thinkers and travellers. In the past year Gould has expanded the number of international travel opportunities and students spread their wings. The Ninth Grade Four Point Program now counts three different countries (and continents) among its destinations: China, Ecuador, and Tanzania. In November, a group of students also traveled to Tanzania with Sara Whalen Shifrin ’88, Director of the Marlon Family IDEAS Center, as part of an English class focused on storytelling. This past summer, Chris Hayward P’16, ’19 and Rebecca Andreozzi accompanied a small group of students to Guatemala to work with Safe Passages, an organization dedicated to helping children who live around Guatemala City’s garbage dump. Gould students also traveled with our Foreign Language Department to Quebec, Canada and Zaragoza, Spain. When Gould says that we push you out of your comfort zone, sometimes we mean miles outside!

MATTER

by Jeff Candura

It had been a roller coaster few years for mogul skier Troy Murphy ’10. In his rookie season on the World Cup in 2014, Murphy earned two fifth place finishes and the FIS Rookie of the Year award. But he barely missed out on the Olympics in Sochi. Then a year later Murphy cemented his status as one of the best young mogul skiers in the world by winning the US National Championships in 2015. He entered 2016 confident, but dealt with a string of injuries that kept him out of events, off the podium, and prevented him from defending his national champion title. Like most of the country, Murphy was ready for 2016 to be over – 2017 had to be better, right?

“I assessed everything from last season and then just left it behind,” says Murphy. “I learned what I could from that experience and just moved forward.”

And move forward he did. Murphy just finished the World Cup season ranked sixth in the world – and as the top American. Not a bad way to enter the off season before the next Winter Olympics.

Murphy doesn’t remember not knowing how to ski. It is like asking most of us to remember when we weren’t able to walk or talk. “I guess I started in a backpack on my parent’s back,” says Murphy. “We just always skied. I was nine when I entered the Gould weekend program. I tried freestyle that winter and was in love with it immediately.”

Murphy continued to progress as a skier and joined Gould in the eighth grade as part of the Winter Term program. “That was one of the best winters ever,” Murphy remembers. “Some of my best friends to this day I met during that program.”

Murphy kept improving throughout his time at Gould, started racing at the FIS level in 2009 and went to the National Championships twice before graduation.

ing on building strength and skill development before chasing snow around the world. The US team works to train on snow at least once a month during the off season. When you are at the top of a sport, however, skill and talent can only get you so far. “It’s all psychological at this level,” says Murphy, who started working last year with a sports psychologist. “Everyone is a great skier, but they don’t always ski their best run.”

“It’s all psychological at this level.

Everyone is a great skier, but they don’t always ski their best run.”

“That time in my life was awesome. I learned a lot that set the framework for adult life for me,” says Murphy. “I also have so many good memories of going on trips with [Head Freestyle Coach John] Kimble and the coaches, just traveling around the east coast in a van with some of my best friends.”

He’s a long way from those days traveling in the back of a van, keeping in top form is a full-time job. Just a week after World Championships, Murphy was already back in Utah and in the gym. He’ll spend the first part of the spring work-

Training on snow isn’t necessarily about making vast jumps in performance, but about getting each run dialed in, and then repeating high-level, high-intensity runs until it becomes muscle memory. “When you are in the start gate you can only focus on one or two small things. You can’t focus on everything because the brain simply can’t process that much information, it needs to be memory.”

His work this past off-season recovering from injuries, working on his mental approach, and fine tuning his runs led to his most consistent season of his career. He is hoping to replicate that success next year before the Olympics in South Korea. Right now he will enter the year as the American’s best hope for a medal in Men’s moguls. “The Olympics can bring a lot of pressure, if you let them,” Murphy says. “I keep the mentality that if I control my controllables it will give me the best shot of getting there.”

Right now those “controllables” include letting go of the stress of the long World Cup season with a trip to free ski in Alaska or British Columbia with a few fellow Gould alumni. Once the race for South Korea starts next winter, Murphy can be sure he will have the entire Gould community on his side. “This season gives me a great shot of getting there,” Murphy said. “If I trust my skills and I do my runs I will be right up there.”

ackie Paaso has made a career of decimating the status quo. Internationally renowned for her hair-raising lines and powerful style, the 34-year-old professional skier’s been called fearless more times than Joe has been called average. Her specialty? Dropping cliffs “like a dude.”

Paaso has been skiing to pay the bills for about eight years now, and competing on the Freeride World Tour (FWT) since 2010. She’s skied all over the world – Norway, Chile, Japan – and hiked the Himalayas. Paaso’s tenacity is matched only by her absolute competence, both on and off the mountain, and she has Gould to thank for much of it.

“Gould Academy provided me with the coaches and support I needed to become the best skier I could be,” Paaso says. “Working alongside former GA coach Jeff Yingling is definitely one of the reasons why I am where I am today.”

Paaso began skiing at the age of four. She and her family moved to the Bethel area from Massachusetts when she was in eighth grade. After graduating from Gould in 2000, Paaso enjoyed several smokin’ years as a mogul skier before transitioning to the big mountain arena.

“When I retired from mogul skiing, I moved out west to Lake Tahoe, California to meet up with some former teammates from Sunday River,” Paaso says. “It was in Tahoe that I was first introduced to freeriding. My friends out there suggested I give competing a try, and after one season, I was hooked.”

In 2008, Paaso won the Subaru U.S. Freeskiing Nationals at Snowbird Ski Resort, Utah, along with the highly sought-after Backcountry.com Sickbird Award. She considers this to be her breakthrough win: “I was the first woman to win [the Sickbird Award] in over 10 years and only the second woman ever, at the time,” she says.

“The coveted Backcountry.com Sickbird Belt Buckle is awarded based on no numbered score and no judging criteria,” writes Backcountry.com’s Taylor Strand, “but instead on sheer wow factor, something that made the crowd rise to its feet, confidence and consistency throughout the event, or one of many other factors not on the official judging criteria.”

In 2010, Paaso won the Freeride World Tour Tram Face competition at Squaw Valley, her then-home mountain, as a wildcard entrant. At the close of the 2016 Freeride World Tour season, she ranked second. She currently resides in Sweden with her husband, fellow professional skier and FWT competitor Reine Barkered.

Paaso applies her relentless spirit to everything in life, from casual hikes to World Cup-level mountain bike races to non-profit ventures. While she has enjoyed an immensely successful skiing career, she is most proud of her work with avalanche safety clinics, like SAFE AS, Skiers Advocating and Fostering Avalanche and Snow Safety.

“To be able to give back to the community that has given me so much and to be able to help educate people is really important to me,” she says.

Paaso helped found SAFE AS with friends and fellow skiers Elyse Saugstad, Michelle Parker, and Sherry McConkey about five years ago with the goal of making avalanche safety clinics and, in turn, backcountry traveling accessible to women.

“LAST I CHECKED, NOT ALL MALES ARE ACTUALLY GOOD AT SKIING.” - JACKIE PAASO ’00

Paaso, who has been named one of the top 50 women in action sports by the X Games, is an advocate for women in sports, which brings us back to skiing like a dude.

is that they’re never accomplished by default; they’re passionate, intelligent, good humans who are willing to work hard to see their dreams realized. And they succeed.

While Paaso doesn’t mind being compared with the top men in her field, she concedes that she’d prefer to be considered a top skier, regardless of gender.

T

“As long as they are referring to the men that are good [skiers],” she laughs. “Last I checked, not all males are actually good at skiing.”

I ask Paaso to share the best advice that she was ever given.

“It’s going to sound cheesy, but it would have to be something like ‘never give up,’” she says. “From the outside, I think my career seems pretty lush to a lot of people. I’m very fortunate to be working with something that I love, but it took a lot of hard work and many sacrifices along the way to get to where I am today.”

Many Gould alumni have achieved success that surpasses others’ dreams. The thing about Gould alumni, though,

he oft-spoken, ever-provocative maxim among skiers and snowboarders is, “You should have been here yesterday.” Colin Boyd’s favorite trick is being able to say, “I was.”

“Every mountain has its day,” says 30-year-old Boyd, who has ridden everywhere from Sunday River and Smuggler’s Notch to Jackson, Wyoming and Wanaka, New Zealand.

Boyd grew up in Eliot, Maine, spending his summers outside of Bethel and his winters on the mountain. He’s been snowboarding for 21 years now.

“It was a natural progression to move from groomers to the terrain park, to the stuff that the typical mountain goer couldn't see,” Boyd says. My first snowboard trip out west was at the age of 14 with my older cousin and after hiking a few peaks solo at that age, I was fully hooked.”

Around the same time, Boyd began attending Gould, which he says was a pivotal moment for him.

“At Gould, I was given a whole new chance to re-define myself, my passions and priorities,” he says. “Through increased independence at that critical time, my curiosity, stimulation and respect for the world around me evolved.”

“Gould Academy's Competition Programs prepare student-athletes for a successful life after high school like nothing else out there,” says KC Gandee, Gould Academy Competition Programs’ Snowboard Program Director. “By setting realistic

and attainable goals, making training plans, learning how to execute those plans and then reflecting on success and failure, the students attain a higher level of independence and maturity. Add all of this to the lessons that can only be learned by world travel, and you have a more robust and prepared world citizen.”

After he graduated, Boyd landed a job with Burton Snowboards, a gig as a backcountry guide in Japan, lived in Wanaka, New Zealand for the better part of a decade, and qualified for the Freeride World Tour.

Boyd is currently living in Portland, Maine with his wife, Sofia, and his son,

Alfonso. He’s working as a brand manager for Portland-based advertising agency KINGSPØKE. He’s seen tremendous success, pushed his riding to the highest level, and accumulated campfire tales of epic proportions. Like Paaso, though, his favorite moments are the human ones. “[On a bike track this week, I] heard a grandfather advise his grandson to look where he wanted to go,” Boyd says. “I thought about [the statement], and considered its simplicity and complexity…

Often, the answer lies in the least expected place; you'll never find it if you don't actively look and pursue where you want to go.”

GAINING FOCUS

WITH US SKI TEAM COACHES SASHA REARICK ’95 & PARKER GRAY ’97

by Adrienne Wylder

I

n professional sports, a lot is made of someone’s “coaching tree”. If you are looking to hire a great coach, look for someone that has been the beneficiary of great coaching, someone who has worked for a solid and respected organization, and who can help to bring that experience to other athletes. Gould’s alpine racing coaching tree might be the most impressive in the sport.

Sasha Rearick ’95 is in his fifteenth year working with the US Ski Team and in his ninth year as the Men’s Head Coach. Rearick oversees the direction of the men’s program including the Development Team, Euro Cup, and World Cups. He is responsible for the hiring of coaches, evaluation of the programs, coaching and making decisions on who races and who doesn’t, raising funds through sponsors and private donations, lobbying for drafts, and managing the budget.

Rearick came to Gould as a junior, and it was only then, after spending most of his athletic career on the lacrosse and football fields, that he truly started to focus on ski racing.

He quickly realized that becoming a World Cup skier wasn’t in the cards, but ski racing at Gould had made him fall in love with the sport. “The passion of skiing is the outdoors, the international travel, the in-depth sports science that’s associated with skiing from the physical side and mental side, the geology...it all attracted me as a sport that I was passionate about working, teaching, and coaching in,” says Rearick.

While Rearick was still a student at Gould, Tim LaVallee asked him to organize a race camp in France for fellow students. He did so, and it turned out he had a knack for it.

After graduation, Rearick continued running camps for Gould, and never really stopped.

Those camps were the first stepping stone in his career that included stops at the French Ski School in Tignes and Green Mountain Valley School in Vermont. His mentors at Gould had a major influence in identifying his passion for coaching, and developing the character necessary to pursue his goals. “Without a doubt, Gould prepared me for a future as a coach,” says Rearick. “The community at Gould, the love of the outdoors, and the focus on the process were the things that I really took out of my years at Gould. Head of School Bill Clough was all about ‘focus on the process’ – and that has been the foundation of my coaching philosophy from my start at Gould through today. Tim LaVallee was a tremendous influence on me in terms of character development and help me identify my passions.”

Rearick has coached at every level. He joined the US Ski Team in 2002 and coached at the World Cup and Europa Cup. In 2008 he assumed the role of Head Coach. Since taking the role, the Men’s team has produced seven Olympic medals, including two golds and eight individual World Cup trophies. Rearick has been back to Gould several times since graduation, including in 2015 when he served as the commencement speaker. He maintains a close relationship with the current coaching staff. In some ways, Bethel still feels like home.

“Gould instilled the love of the outdoors,” says Rearick. “The Four Point experience, hiking Mt. Katahdin, and all the things that I learned to do and appreciate when I was at Gould, are things that I continue to do with my family today.”

O

ne of Rearick’s most recent hires knows exactly what he is talking about when he mentions all that Gould taught him – Parker Gray ’97. Gray began skiing with Gould as a member of the eighth grade Winter Term Program and by his ninth grade year was competing in all four events: Slalom, Giant Slalom, Super G, and Downhill. He still remembers Rearick as a coach more than a teammate. “He was the one who organized all the summer camps that we did in France,” remembers Gray. “He organized everything for those summer camps when he was a senior - so that was pretty impressive.” Gray had quick success and progressed to compete at the USSA level, FIS level, NorAm, the US Nationals, and Junior Olympics by the time he was in eleventh grade.

Though they went in different directions after graduation, Sasha and Parker stayed in touch.

The ski racing world is a small one and it is fair to say that there was mutual admiration and a common Gould bond between them. “Sasha surely knew what he was getting into when he hired me. He knew me during my younger years, we have stayed connected, collaborating on various ski team projects together during our careers,” says Gray. “Sasha is the one who goes out and finds the ones who he feels will be the best ones in the best positions.”

Like Rearick, Gray credits Gould for preparing him for both his career as a ski racer and as a coach. The relationships he formed with classmates and faculty, the amount of time he was able to spend on snow, and the specialized training abroad all prepared him for the next level. He also noted that his training at Gould in managing students with various developmental goals, organizing team travel, and seeing students move on to the the next level ultimately prepared him to work with

elite level skiers. Given all that, his work is much different with the US Ski team than it was with Gould. Gray typically travels ahead of the team to make sure all the pieces are ready when the racers arrive. He is the coach standing on the hill late at night hosing down the trail in order to get the training conditions perfect. He implements and tweaks the athletes strength and conditioning programs. He also helps to identify areas of their racing technique that could be improved using Dartfish, a video analysis tool that Gould athletes also utilize. Coaches and athletes are generally on the hill daily from 6:00 AM – 1:00 PM then in dryland training until dinner. Parker can remember spending six weeks straight with only one day out of ski boots. For athletes and

coaches, it is more of a lifestyle than a job. “It is important to get your time on snow at the high school age, but it's also important to be involved in other sports to develop well rounded skills,” says Gray. “Skiing is really hard to train for because any given run is only about two minutes long, so you've got to train in additional ways to improve. Athletes can definitely find all of that at Gould.”

After a busy and successful season, Rearick and Gray have both turned their eyes to the Winter Olympic games in 2018. The US team is surely going to be gunning for several podiums and Gould Academy will be standing behind each of them.

THE OTHER WINTER SPORT

by JEFF CANDURA

It was the evening of Valentine’s Day – a night usually reserved for couples to be going out to dinner and a movie or, as Hallmark would hope, exchanging greetings cards with hearts and cupids. Instead, most of Gould’s faculty and students were streaming into Farnsworth Fieldhouse for a date with the girls’ basketball team. After a one-loss regular season, Gould was hosting Winthrop High School for a chance to head to the Augusta Civic Center for the state tournament. All those chocolate filled hearts would have to wait.

Two years ago, this scene would have never happened. Not because the win-loss record wouldn’t allow it, but because there wasn’t a girls’ basketball team at Gould Academy.

Less than a week later, Farnsworth was packed again. This time for the boys’ basketball team. They were playing Holderness School, and needed a win to help get them within reach of the playoffs. Gould roared out to an early lead and led by 11 at the half. Holderness clawed back. The game eventually went down to the final possession. It was a Monday night and Farnsworth Fieldhouse was packed with students, faculty, and community members all collectively holding their breath.

Basketball is officially back at Gould Academy.

ould basketball has a storied history. Prior to Sunday River opening, students came together as a community during the cold winter months to watch teams battle. Gould was a power. But there have also been down times for the sport. The boys’ teams have struggled to stay competitive over the last ten years, and the school stopped fielding a girls’ team from 20102015. The renaissance started in 2014 when a group of girls passionate about basketball started practicing with the boys team. Eva McMillan, an eleventh grader from Rangeley, Maine was shocked when she came to Gould and found that a girls team didn’t exist. So she took matters into her own hands. “Initially, it was exhausting trying to find enough people to play on the team, but once we got the girls together it was amazing,” say McMillan, a captain on the current team. “With a new team, no one has any prior relation to the coach or each other so it created an opportunity for a great new group dynamic. I love talking to alumni and parents about bringing girls basketball back to Gould. It makes me realize that it is not just a sport, it is a legacy, and we brought it back.”

That first year the girls played a JV schedule, with barely enough players to field a team and some just playing the game for the first time. After the girls won their first game, they stormed the court like they had just won the NCAA Tournament — the pride was palpable. Priscila Berdeja, a senior from Appleton, Maine was one of the girls who joined the team, and is now a captain alongside McMillan. “It was kind of hard since our team was so small, eight people at the most,” recalls Berdeja. “But we still managed to keep a good record. It didn't matter if we won or lost because our team was

so close with one another and it was a fun environment.”

This year, the team took a huge step. Moving up to varsity competition, adding players, and starting to find an identity as a team. “I am so proud how they came together,” said Coach Todd Siekman P’ 07, ’09, ’21. “They bought into everything we were teaching them and did their best to execute it. They just kept exceeding my expectations.”

The team ended the year 9-1 in the Maine Principals’ Association (MPA) and 10-3 overall. And remember that Valentine’s Day game against Winthrop?

Well, they won. “It was amazing. It was a feeling that I had never felt before,” says Berdeja. “I remember how everybody played so hard. It made us feel great that even though people thought that we wouldn't make it to the State Tourney, we did.”

Every story needs to have an ending however, and not all of them involve Cinderella. Gould ended up losing in the first round of the tournament to the top seed. “I've always wanted to play at the Augusta Civic Center and never have been able to,” says McMillan. “When we walked in to play our game I teared up a little bit because I made it. I finally made it. The team had grown for the better and I couldn't be happier. We hope to make it further next year.”

Coach Siekman has the same goals for the team as they continue to grow. 19 “I would love for us to be more competitive in the MPA and NEPSAC...

I want to have a consistent program, with a JV feeder, and make the tournament regularly.”

he boys team didn’t have to claw its way back from non-existence. While the girls team had folded for several years, the boys continued to play year in and year out. But when Cory McClure arrived on campus as Assistant Director of Admissions, he saw an opportunity for Gould to become more competitive. Basketball has long been a fixture in New England prep schools. When the leaves fall and the weather turns colder, communities and campuses rush inside to cheer on their teams. The New England Prep School Athletic Conference (NEPSAC), which Gould is a part of, has six classifications for basketball. Classes A, B, C, and D are based on the size of the school, while AA and AAA are based on level of competition. Even in Class D, Gould struggled to field a competitive team – the sport had declined in popularity, especially in comparison to the growth of competitive snow sports. But a move to AA would allow Gould to attract the type of student-athlete who is looking to test himself against some of the best high school competition in the country.

Jahbril Price-Noel, an eleventh grader from Toronto, Ontario, was attracted to Gould because of the promise to push himself to grow on the court and in the classroom. “The competition has been eye-opening,” says Price-Noel, who has been recognized as one of the top college prospects in New England. “You are playing against guys who are Division I athletes, some who should already be in college. It gives you a taste of what it is going to be like down the road. It pushes you...I hold myself to high standards and being around such great players makes me push myself even harder.”

The turn-around from fledgling small school team to a competitive AA program routinely competing against traditional basketball prep school powers like Vermont Academy, Tilton School, and Bridgton Academy, and facing some of the top basketball prospects in the country was extraordinary. Most teams would struggle out of the gate, but Gould excelled. “I didn’t think the team would come together this quick, but what helped us come together more quickly is the atmosphere around here,” says Price-Noel. “Gould builds it in...I appreciate the feeling of home here. These guys now are my brothers.”

The season didn’t go perfectly, of course. A season is always made up of ups and downs. They did win that game against Holderness, but the team barely missed the cutoff for the NEPSAC AA playoffs. Despite that letdown, huge strides were made to make Gould competitive among prep schools in New England. There were also some strong individual achievements. Skyler Nash ’17 was named a Third Team All-NEPSAC and recently committed to play at the University of Vermont, George Papas ’17 and Price-Noel were each given Honorable Mentions, and fellow prep school coaches have taken notice of how talented and wellcoached the Gould team has been all season. “Coaching now for 20 years, I have learned that when recruiting and evaluating young people, character and a desire to work hard are two non-negotiables for me.” says McClure. “I am most proud of is the quality of young people who were excited to enroll here because of the prospective promise Gould gave them to reach their aspirations. This speaks to the quality of Gould as an institution academically, athletically and socially.”

Coach McClure draws up a play during a timeout while Skyler Nash ’16, Jaxon Wroe ’19, and Zack Mittelstadt ’18 look on.

Both the girls and boys teams hope that basketball continues to grow at Gould. “I believe that having competitive girls’ and boys’ basketball positively contributes to the Gould community in a number of ways,” says McMillan.

“In the winter, it is great for the community to get together and watch a basketball game, because the winter is so chaotic at Gould, and basketball brings everyone back together again.”

“I APPRECIATE THE FEELING OF HOME HERE.

“The same way I am on the court is the same way I am in the classroom – I want to do my best,” says Price-Noel. “I really like the IDEAS Center – it’s so cool. Before the season started I was in an entrepreneurship class in the IDEAS Center and I was making t-shirts and trying to make my own company.”

THESE GUYS NOW ARE MY BROTHERS.”

McClure notes that Gould’s excellence in snow sports contributes to the success in other sports, like basketball. “It is great to be at a place where there is a tradition of academic and athletic excellence. There is an infrastructure here that understands what it is like to have elite level athletics and student-athletes because of our success on snow.”

Basketball is back at Gould again, and something tells me it isn’t going away anytime soon.

The quality of the Gould education and the Gould experience is a theme that keeps coming up over and over again when talking to players. College coaches love recruiting players from prep schools because they know they can handle a rigorous academic schedule and college level curriculum while succeeding on the court. “If you ever need help from a teacher, an assignment, studying for a test, you are confused about something, you can always just text or call the teacher and they will be right there,” says Zack Mittelstadt ’18, a guard from Wilton, ME. “The teachers will do anything they can to help you. They truly care about how well you are doing in school.”

has co-authored the book “Write Quick: War and a Woman’s Life in Letters 1835-1867”, a nonfiction story, which provides a captivating and compelling glimpse into the reality of a Union woman’s life during the Civil War. Bobbi is currently under contract with Narrow Street Films to obtain funding, through grants, donations, and other sources, to make this into a documentary under the name “Heartache: A Woman and the Civil War”. She welcomes everyone’s ideas and interest in helping her find funding.

my daughter, Ruth. My Parkinson’s disease has progressed and very hard for me to get along. Hope all is well with my other classmates.

Jacqueline McFarlane Wilkins writes:

We moved to Waterman Village of Mount Dora, Florida. We have a villa attached to another one. It is just a perfect size for the two of us, but we still miss our home in Longwood. We are so happy that we were able to return to so many reunions while we could.

I am writing on behalf of my mom, Barbara Galbraith Woods. She lived in Coventry, CT for well over 40 years.

In 2009 she moved in with my family and she really enjoyed being with her grandchildren. Gradually her dementia began to take away her independence, but it never stole her fun-loving spirit. Sadly in October of 2014 she had multiple falls and then a massive stroke in 2015. She is now staying in a nursing home just 3 miles from here, so we see her all the time. Her spirit remains bright and she maintains her sense of humor. – Sandie Woods Pino Rebecca “Becky” P. Kendall writes:

In September of 2014, I moved to Machias, ME to be near my niece. I remain active in the community and revisit Bethel several times a year.

We all enjoyed a delicious lunch.

Alberta Merrill and Rod Harrington ’50

hosted a dinner party at their home to celebrate the Class of 1951's 65th reunion.

A group of us gathered in the afternoon to visit, look at old pictures, and reminisce about our years at Gould and after. It was so nice to see Ruth Donahue Kichton and her daughter. Attending our dinner party: Mary Alice Hastings Bancroft and husband Al; Chris Willard Bennett and husband Larry ’49; John Knowles and Ann; Roger Adams ’52 and Nancy; Davene Marble Erickson and her daughter, Cheryl; Clarence (Bud) Howe; Laura Yates Hutchins; and Charlie Smith ’50 and Mary Anne Myers Smith ’54. Those attending all agreed that we should not wait five years before we get together again. When you are past eighty years old our planning horizon is not as long as it used to be.

Laura Wilson Messenger sent a letter updating all of us on what she had done since graduating from Gould in 1951.

Alberta also received a nice note from Jim Cousins along with a couple nice pictures of he and his wife celebrating their 50th anniversary and another one taken when he was a student at Gould.

Mary Alice Hastings Bancroft and

husband, Al, recently met with a group of people who own Model A trucks and toured the coast of Maine visiting many lighthouses on their week long trip. Al had completely restored the truck which took him nearly two years to complete.

I maintain my association with lots of my classmates and enjoy keeping up with their lives! I have resigned to taking on

too many volunteer jobs after all of these years and enjoy time with our daughter in Jacksonville and son in Atlanta with their families. It has been a pleasure helping to plan our class reunions for the past years and hope to assist with a few more!

Nancy Haslun-Wall writes: It's been a

great year for me. My daughter, Whitney, gave birth to a baby boy, Rory. My younger daughter, Libby, is getting married in the Abaco Islands on April 15th. Jane and I have rented a house for the week. I bought a condo in Avon, Ct and will be moving in May. I am in my 19th year of teaching 4th grade in Avon, and still enjoying it.

As for me, Jane Haslun-Schwab, life as a single person after losing my husband to cancer last year sure is different, but I keep

very busy with a great network of family and friends, as well as my two daughters and two grandchildren. I retired last year after 20 years as a teacher’s assistant at the middle school level, and I hope to travel to visit friends and explore more places!

Hey all! I’m sorry to be missing the reunion weekend this fall but Uncle Sam is keeping my days booked solid.
