cold, though the view of volcanoes and old growth makes the inhospitable weather less bothersome and me more thankful to live in Patagonia for a year. Last week I had the opportunity to climb a Volcán Villarica, which required crampons, an ice pick, and a helmet. Though, between you and me, the helmet was merely a formality because a concussion would be the least of my worries if I were indeed to fall off of the glacier. It. Was. Terrifying. I will be back in Dallas soon, but not before Andrea Autrey (who is still happily working at a production company in Santa Monica and pretending not to freak out around famous people) comes to visit me next month to go to the Atacama Desert, and my boyfriend visits to go to Tierra del Fuego and Easter Island. It is safe to say that any future Chilean adventures will be on flat ground. ••••••••••••••••••••••• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

Five years out from our Hockaday graduation, and we’re all up to exciting things! Many members of our class have moved back to Dallas, and have even “returned to their roots” at Hockaday. Sarah Kennedy graduated from Rhodes College in 2012 with a major in biology and a minor in environmental science, and has moved back to Dallas. She is working for PhysAssist as a medical scribe in the ER at Presbyterian Dallas, while applying to medical schools. When not at the hospital, you may spot her on the Hockaday fields, coaching JV field hockey in the fall, and lacrosse in the spring. Current students may even be lucky enough to have her as their substitute PE teacher, or as a sub for Mrs. Calhoun in all of our favorite health classes! Sasha Nouri and Casey Joiner have also joined the ranks of Daisy faculty and staff. Sasha is thrilled to be working as the Major Gifts Coordinator in the Development Office, and is most looking forward to seeing alumnae in their new hometowns over the next year. In her spare time she is continuing to grow her woodworking company, “Under the Chestnut Tree.” Casey will be working with the Fine Arts department for one year, after which she will attend graduate school,
