This year, as people nationwide reflect on the Civil Rights Movement and its impact, ISS faculty and students look at what has been achieved since 1963—and what challenges still lie ahead.

GIVING 18 2012-13 Annual Report

English teacher D’Anthony Allen urges ISS students to look not only at the history of civil rights, but also at the ways that society—and students at Indian Springs— perceive differences among people.

Welcome

“ Giving is valued and nurtured at Indian Springs.”

W

e have recently completed a year of celebrations honoring the 60th anniversary of this dynamic and vibrant school, which nurtures academic excellence, creative thinking, and participatory citizenship in highly capable students from around the world. Since 1952, Indian Springs students have striven not just to excel academically, but also to develop and pursue new ideas through the use of innovation and creativity. This sets us apart— and raises the bar for each successive generation.

Our distinguished alumni have, for six decades, made noteworthy contributions in fields from science, medicine, law, and economics to filmmaking, technology, business, and the arts. They continue to set a high standard for current and future ISS students and families through their invaluable support of the school.

li b b y pantazis Ch air, Indian Springs Sch oo l Bo ard o f G o ve rn or s

The financial support of alumni and current families is essential to the life of the school, and we thank you for your important, continuous contributions in pledging to the ISS Annual Fund every year through The Springs for Life Society; helping us exceed our Annual Fund goal for 2012-13—and committing to give again in 2013-14; entrusting us with the education of your children and grandchildren; and, finally, including Springs in your estate plans, which frequently go toward the school’s endowment, creating an enduring legacy and helping ensure that Indian Springs will continue to provide an outstanding education for future generations of students.

Contemplation of giving is valued and nurtured at Indian Springs; the results are evident in our Young Alumni Committee, organized only two years ago. These newly graduated members of the Springs community work to ensure participation by young alums in the Annual Fund while also organizing events on campus, including the Young Alumni Summer Barbeque (now an annual event), and encouraging attendance by young alums at Alumni Weekend and other Springs events.

Young alumni involvement and financial support are crucial to sustaining the tradition of excellence at Indian Springs. Here, Henry Long ’01, Alice Hawley ’03, and Sharonda Childs ’03 enjoy visiting at the Class of ’03 Reunion in April.

Your financial commitment is at the very heart of all that we do, from hiring and retaining world-class faculty members and administrators who challenge our students to ask much of themselves, to offering an advanced, dynamic curriculum enabling our students to be a part of a global, inclusive, yet tightly knit community.

We pledge to be good stewards of your giving and your confidence.

“ Collaboration is important....”

O

ne of the most important skills in the 21st-century workplace is the ability to collaborate. Frequently, we learn the skill on the job, realizing quickly the need to work as a team. Today the members of our team might be right across the hall. They might also be in another time zone, halfway around the world, so now more than ever, as the modern workforce becomes increasingly mobile, it’s critical that we enable ISS students to experience teamwork in its many forms.

Our technologically savvy students come to Indian Springs already communicating virtually with friends from other states and countries because of similar passions and interests. By the time they get to graduate school, collaborations are a key part of their educational experience. The MBA programs at distinguished institutions such as Harvard Business School and The Wharton School of The University of Pennsylvania, for instance, engage students in small teams to practice risk taking, persuasive leadership, and conflict resolution together. Global connections take the educational teamwork concept a step further.

Even earlier, at the undergraduate level, many colleges and universities are shifting their entire curricula online, and ISS students are leaving Springs excited about the new opportunities that connectivity brings. Current ISS senior Christine Zheng ’14 knows from a recent visit to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology that if she is fortunate enough to attend MIT as an undergraduate, she wouldn’t simply be closeted in her dorm room, solving problems alone; instead, she would be working with classmates in a collaborative way. Christine, a 2014 National Merit Semifinalist and 2013 Andy Abroms Scholar, must be prepared not only to think critically, but also to work extremely well with others, in person and online.

G A R E T H VA U G H A N Di r e c to r, In d i a n Sp ri n g s School

Collaboration is important in school, in the workforce, and in life. During Alumni Weekend 2013, G. Gray Plosser ’63, who received the ISS Outstanding Alumnus Award in 1986, spoke to students with several of his Class of ’63 classmates during our panel discussion on “The Individual and Society.” He emphasized the need to spend time in the classroom talking together about the issues of the day so that Indian Springs students are exposed to all kinds of thinking—all kinds of ideas. They can then make informed decisions about what they believe rather than following along with something they once heard, and perhaps little understood.

It is vital that we at Indian Springs continue to be forward-thinking in the ways that we engage our students and prepare them for the brightest possible futures. Our eyes are set on remaining true to our tradition of providing a progressive and groundbreaking educational experience.

For our technologically savvy students, collaborations can take the form of face-to-face interactions with classmates—or virtual teamwork with students halfway around the world.

hi g h mar ks ISS Choir Dazzles Swiss Audiences In centuries-old cathedrals, charming hotels, Alpine meadows, and even the occasional airline terminal, the ISS Chamber Choir regaled audiences during its 10-day tour in June as part of the American Celebration of Music in Switzerland. Led by Music Director Dr. Tim Thomas ’67 and accompanied by Instrumental Music Director Dr. Alina Voicu, the 35-member group performed in Zurich, Lucerne, Einseideln, Wengen, Bern, and Interlaken.

The choir’s repertoire included mystically beautiful works such as Norwegian composer Ola Gjeilo’s setting of “Ubi Caritas,” foottapping pop songs such as “When I’m 64” by the Beatles, major choral works like Franz Schubert’s “Mass in G,” and traditional songs from around the globe.

After hearing a videotaped recording of their performance of his “Ubi Caritas,” Gjeilo wrote to the choir: “Heartfelt thanks to the Indian Springs School Chamber Choir for their beautiful performance of my ‘Ubi Caritas.’ I was touched by the passion and musicianship they expressed.” To hear the short video, visit the school Web site (www.indiansprings.org) or new YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/experienceiss).

Bowman

ISS Chef Takes Part In ‘Chefs to Schools’ Training Initiative ISS Chef Wendy Bowman joined 30 chefs from across the country in September at the School Nutrition Association Headquarters in National Harbor, Md., for an all-expensespaid training initiative, Connect: Chefs to Schools.

Designed by the National Food Service Management Institute, the training explored the School Nutrition Program; ways school chefs can help students learn more about food; and innovative methods to incorporate healthy eating and local foods into school menus.

Eight ISS Seniors Named 2014 National Merit Semifinalists Eight Indian Springs School seniors have been named National Merit Semifinalists for their achievements on the 2012 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT). Hill Balliet ’14, Arlen Fan ’14, Jack O’Malley ’14, Savannah Rodriguez ’14, Patrick Scalise ’14, Cole Senn ’14, Emily Williams ’14, and Christine Zheng ’14 scored among the top 1% of the 1.5 million students who took the exam last year as juniors. They will have a chance to compete for about 8,000 National Merit Scholarships next spring. In addition, Will Crain ’14, Tahireh Markert ’14, Annabelle Neville ‘14, Sarah Noone ’14, and Seth Perlman ’14 have been named Commended Students in the National Merit Scholarship Program, and Savannah Rodriguez ’14 has been selected as a 2013-14 National Hispanic Recognition Program Scholar.

2014 National Achievement Scholars

Seniors Cole Senn ’14 and Alex Smith ’14 represented the French Club at 2013 Club Expo.

Club Expo Students gathered after school on a beautiful September Friday for Club Expo, an event organized by the ISS Student Government to showcase the 45 after-school clubs and social service activities available to all students. In addition to learning about new ways to get more involved in campus life, students raised $200 for the 5th Annual Sebastian’s RunWalk for a Cure by selling $1 tickets for three chances to dunk a faculty member. (Congratulations to newly elected 8th grade representatives Bela Patel ’18 and Sarah Toms ’18 and to Commissioner of Recreation Zack Aldaher ’15 for thinking of a fun way to support a great cause.)

Three ISS seniors have been named semifinalists in the 50th annual National Achievement Scholarship Program conducted by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation.

Angela Robinson ’14, Kenechi Ijemere ’14, and Annabelle Neville ’14 will have the opportunity to compete for about 800 Achievement Scholarship awards worth $2.5 million next spring. The program was started in 1964 to recognize academically promising Black American high school seniors nationwide.

Girls Volleyball Team brings home trophy Congratulations to the ISS Girls Varsity Volleyball Team for winning 2nd place—out of 16 teams—at the Lincoln Varsity Tournament in Lincoln, Ala., in September. It was the team’s first tournament trophy in six years. Go Springs!

g ivin g bac k ISS Youth Activist Raises Awareness of LGBTQIA+ Issues Sarah Noone ’14, president of the Indian Springs Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA), has worked steadily to raise awareness of LGBTQIA+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Questioning, Intersex, and Asexual) rights in Alabama—and beyond. One of four local student activists honored by the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute in April for a deep commitment to youth activism, Noone founded Alabama United GSAs to bring together high school GSAs throughout the state. She also serves as a youth leader for the Birmingham Alliance of Gay, Straight, Lesbian Youth, and as head of the youth panel for the Magic City Acceptance Project, she helps train Jefferson County Family Court employees who work with at-risk youth.

An online petition that she and a friend started earlier this year to urge state legislators to repeal an Alabama law requiring sex education teachers to teach students that homosexuality is illegal and wrong has received national attention and secured more than 95,000 signatures. In August, Noone was chosen to take part in a student activism forum hosted by The Birmingham News to showcase ways area teens are working to improve their community: “The Next Movement: How Birmingham’s Youth Are Leading the Way … Again.”

Pottery Students’ ‘Empty Bowls’ Help Take Bite Out of Hunger Indian Springs student artists lovingly handcrafted 40 bowls to donate to the 10th Annual Empty Bowls Project, a soup and bread benefit luncheon sponsored by Magic City Harvest. The luncheon helps fund the organization’s year-round food bank and creates awareness of the need to address food insecurity in the Birmingham community.

In Jefferson County, it is estimated that close to 14% of all residents and 22% of children live in poverty.

“Everyone who attends the luncheon takes home a bowl as a reminder that in the greater Birmingham area there still exist ‘empty bowls’ that need filling,” says ISS studio art teacher Melody Machen. “For instance, most heads of household have jobs but simply cannot afford adequate, nutritious food for the family.” Keeping alive this ISS tradition were (from left): Charlotte Benedict ’16, Annabelle Neville ’14, Sam Newton ’16, Rachael Motamed ’16, Emma Knapp ’13, and (not pictured) Makayla Phillips ’13 and Gabi Oser ’16.

The Eliminate Project: Saving Babies and Mothers Worldwide A Bake Sale run by the ISS Key Club raised $650 for The Eliminate Project, a joint effort of Kiwanis International and UNICEF to eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus. The disease kills an estimated 60,000 babies and a significant number of women around the globe each year.

“The Indian Springs School Key Club has brought the campaign that much closer to our goal by saving or protecting more than 360 women and their future babies and by inspiring those around them!” says Lead Campaign Area Director Cristina Gomez.

Commemorating the Birmingham Children’s March About 20 students and faculty members joined Ashlynn Berry ’16 on a walk around the ISS Lake in May to commemorate the bravery of the children, some as young as 4 years old, who participated in the Birmingham Children’s March in 1963. “I’m so happy so many people came out,” says Berry (second from left), who organized the walk. “I felt as if something needed to be said and done to honor this important history.”

ISS Blood Drive Surpasses Goal for American Red Cross

Since her diagnosis with Crohn’s disease in November 2012, Charlotte Benedict ’16 has raised more than $5,000 for the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation of America. Chosen to serve as the Honored Hero at the 6th Annual Take Steps Birmingham Walk, Benedict works to be a voice for children suffering with the disease. She struggled through five years of misdiagnoses before an emergency CT scan and a week in the hospital revealed that she has the chronic, autoimmune disease, which she says is often described as an inflammatory bowel disease with no cure.

It is estimated that 1.4 million Americans suffer from Crohn’s. “A gut-wrenching—pun intended!—realization hit me: I would have this my whole life,” says Benedict. “There is no cure for Crohn’s disease, only the hope that there will be someday soon, thanks to the work of CCFA.”

More than 45 students, faculty, parents, and alumni took part in the ISS Blood Drive in May to help the American Red Cross prepare for summer months, when blood donations drop about 20%. ISS surpassed its goal, collecting 35 units of blood. “I am very proud of our students and school community for helping to reach our goal of 33 units,” says ISS Nurse Amy Wammack. The American Red Cross estimates that every two seconds, someone in America needs blood. One donation can help save the lives of up to three people. ISS has hosted blood drives for more than 30 years.

Screen on the Green: Movie with a Mission

Riley

Organized in May by spring semester Mayor Will Riley ’13, Screen on the Green raised close to $650 and a collection of canned goods for the Oak Mountain Missions Food Pantry, which ISS has supported since 2008. More than 75 students turned out for the movie-and-pizza night. “It was great to see so many individuals show support,” says Riley, who delivered the food and check to Oak Mountain Missions.

“In 2010, according to a report by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, nearly 7% of Alabama households experienced hunger, which was the highest percentage in the country. By helping OMM we are directly and immediately helping individuals in our community.” in dian

face to face Saying Hello …

This year we welcome seven new Faculty, Staff, and Board members to Indian Springs.

Let us introduce you.

NEW FACULTY

D’Anthony Allen The newest member of the ISS English Faculty earned his B.A. in English from the University of the South in 2007 and an M.A. in Education: Creative Literacies and Literature from California State University, Los Angeles, in 2010. While at Sewanee, Allen received a full scholarship to study medieval literature at the University of Oxford. He also received the Algernon Sydney Sullivan Prize, the most prestigious recognition given to a graduate who has contributed through character, compassion, and academic and spiritual leadership. All this, while playing varsity football (and being inducted in the National Football Foundation & College Hall of Fame Honor Society). A Bill Gates Millennium Scholar since 2003, Allen has taught middle school English locally at Holy Family Catholic Academy and in Jefferson County Schools. He has also developed and led programs promoting integrity, leadership, and healthy living in inner-city youth.

Paul McGee Our new Math Faculty member earned his B.S. in Economics and Finance (2004), his M.A in Economics (2005), and a Postgraduate Diploma in Education (2008), all from University College Dublin. McGee has the distinction of having earned the highest GPA in his graduating class throughout his undergraduate and postgraduate career. He is also an outstanding athlete: All-Ireland Meeting of the Rowers champion (2006); All-Ireland finalist in both men’s and mixed curragh racing (2007); 3-handicap golfer; Cruit Island Golf Club Golfer of the Year (Donegal, Ireland; 2005); coached varsity soccer at Miami Country Day School and rugby at Belvedere College.

In his own words: “What I love about teaching is having the opportunity to inspire meaningful change in the lives of others. As I join the Indian Springs family, I envision Socratic discussions and invigorating activities that will allow us all to enhance our academic abilities and advance our human capacities for compassion.”

In his own words: “Since I was in National School (the Irish version of elementary school), math has always been my favorite subject. I can’t wait to share my passion for math with all my students and show them that math surrounds us every day. Whether it’s computing the angle of elevation of a golf shot or measuring inequality in a country, we can use math to help us understand what we are exposed to in our daily lives.”

In her own words: “I love what Indian Springs stands for, the high standards that it sets, and the careful thought that goes into even the smallest details of school life. It is a remarkable community of people who push themselves to achieve and give. I feel fortunate to get to share the many facets of this great story.”

Melvin Foy

Our new Part-Time Athletic Trainer is a Licensed and Certified Athletic Trainer with Encore Sports Medicine and Alabama Bone & Joint Clinic, LLC. A Birmingham native, he attended Ramsay High School and earned a B.S. in Athletic Training from The University of Alabama (2012). Foy has experience working with numerous athletic teams at The University of Alabama (Men’s and Women’s Tennis, Volleyball, Football, Men’s Basketball). He has also worked at Hillcrest High School and Montevallo High School and has completed internships with University Orthopedics in Tuscaloosa, Southeastern Orthopedics in Savannah, Ga., and the Atlanta Falcons. He plans to continue his education in order to work as a Surgical Physician’s Assistant in the Sports Medicine field.

NEW BOARD MEMBERS

In his own words: “Being the head athletic trainer at Indian Springs School has been a wonderful experience for me thus far. The uniqueness of this place has allowed me to encounter a wide variety of cultural backgrounds that would not be possible at many other places. The student athletes’ dedication to their academics carries over into their athletics, which allows for them to have abundant success in both areas.”

Robert Aland ’80 Robert Aland is no stranger to the ISS Board. A class agent and former Alumni Council member, he served on the Board of Governors from 2004 to 2006 and graciously accepted another commitment earlier this year. Birmingham President of the National Bank of Commerce, Aland has a longstanding commitment to philanthropy and community service, which included chairing the United Way of Central Alabama Campaign in 2011.

Fergus Tuohy ’96 An ISS class agent and Alumni Council member since 2010, Fergus Tuohy joins the Board for a two-year term as incoming Alumni Council President, succeeding Frances Nolan, who served in this role from 2011 to 2013. A financial advisor with Ameriprise Financial in Birmingham, he is active in numerous civic and nonprofit organizations and serves on three other boards, including Equality Alabama, the Financial Planning Association of North Alabama, and Birmingham AIDS Outreach. His time at Indian Springs qualifies, he says, as the most formative years of his life, and he is proud to serve his alma mater.

Lesli Wright Lesli Wright joins the Board as 2013-14 President of the ISS Parents Association, succeeding Holly Ellis Whatley ’84.

Mother to Blake Senn ’11 and Cole Senn ’14, Wright began volunteering as a choir tour chaperone in 2008. Since then she has chaperoned six choir trips and served on the Boarding Life Committee, Parent Potluck Committee, and Music 101 Silent Auction Committee. She values Indian Springs’ dedication to developing the whole student through its emphasis on critical thinking and creative problem-solving and abundant extracurricular opportunities available in the arts, athletics, and other areas.

NEW SECURITY

Officer Rick Franklin Indian Springs has instituted a new security policy that includes round-the-clock security staffing at the school’s front gate. Alumni, parents, students, and guests now check in with the guard on duty before entering campus. The new measure was implemented in April. “Our goal is to do all we can to keep the Indian Springs School community safe while also continuing to be accessible for the many activities that we host on campus,” says Director Gareth Vaughan.

“I’m encouraging my students to respect differing viewpoints and apply the connections that they make in their academic lives in their personal lives as well,” says English teacher D’Anthony Allen.

Civil Rights, Civil Liberties: What Have We Learned?

Soft but audible gasps punctuate the stillness as students in Kelly Jacobs’ 8th grade history class watch Spike Lee’s 1997 documentary “4 Little Girls” about the bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church in 1963. Jacobs stops the film often to explain footage and answer questions. “Why didn’t anyone notice the bomb as they were entering the church?” asks one student. “Wasn’t there another girl with them when the bomb went off?” asks another. “That’s the saddest thing I’ve ever seen,” says a third. “She told her friend from school, ‘I’ll see you Monday,’ and they never saw each other again.”

ISS students in all grades are looking at civil rights and civil liberties through a variety of lenses this year as faculty and

student body together tackle the 201314 school theme, “Seneca Falls, Selma, Stonewall & Springs: Civil Rights and Civil Liberties.” Timed to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the Birmingham Civil Rights Movement, the theme is designed to help Indian Springs students learn from the past, examine the present with a critical eye, and reflect on their own role, individually and collectively, in shaping the future.

“When you talk about issues of civil rights and civil liberties, it really boils down to our collective identity and the issue of how we view differences among people,” says Jacobs, who is incorporating the school theme into her 8th and 9th grade history courses throughout the year. “Scientifically,

there seems to be something about being human that makes us want to put people into groups. Researchers are trying to determine why our ability to identify with a group also causes us to draw firmer lines between groups. In our world, growing up in Birmingham, difference was race. That’s just one social construct. There are all sorts of ways of perceiving difference.”

History teacher Kelly Jacobs is incorporating issues of civil rights and civil liberties into her 8th and 9th grade history courses throughout the year.

Engaging the Mind and Heart To begin, 8th graders over the summer read Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird, and 9th through 12th graders read journalist Rebecca Skloot’s 2010 bestseller, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. The nonfiction work looks at the ethical issues involved in the creation of an immortal cell line, HeLa, from an African American woman’s cervical cancer cells in 1951. Cultured without her knowledge, Henrietta Lacks’ cells have been used in more than 60,000 scientific studies, revealing the secrets of aging, cancer, and many other scientific mysteries.

On Opening Day, students and faculty discussed the books in small groups after gathering for a school-wide overview of the Civil Rights Movement by faculty member Dr. Jonathan Horn, who ended his presentation with the original song “Cahaba Bridge,” composed for the occasion. (See the lyrics, page 13.)

“This isn’t just an intellectual endeavor,” says Horn, who says his innocence was “knocked away” at age 6 when he learned about the bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church. “It’s not just about critical thinking. Our engagement is something that should be at once of the mind and of the heart.”

Lessons from Henrietta Lacks: Q&A with Margaret Blackerby ’14 The story of Henrietta Lacks and HeLa cells raises questions about ethics, race, class, and scientific research. We asked ISS senior Margaret Blackerby how the book impacted her understanding of civil rights and civil liberties.

Q: What did you learn from reading the book?

A: It’s interesting to think that Henrietta Lacks had no idea what was happening to her cancer cells, and if science hadn’t had the benefit of her cells, we wouldn’t be where we are today in terms of medical research, technology, and pharmaceuticals. Should I as a person get credit when something that was in my body helps with a medical advance, or does the doctor get all the credit because he or she found it and knows what’s happening with it? To me, there is not a clear-cut answer.

Q: What makes this true story compelling?

A: I came away thinking that in some cases, it can be hard to distinguish right from wrong. Johns Hopkins was good in that it was doing this research on cervical cancer, but it was bad because it wasn’t telling its patients what was going on. It wasn’t treating everyone fairly. Because I have grown up and gone to school in Birmingham, I was not surprised by the racial segregation and some of the awful treatment of African Americans described. The family’s difficulty in understanding what happened to Henrietta because of lack of education made a big impact on me. It’s hard to explain to somebody: Yes, it came from your mother’s body, but it’s not your mother.

Q: What idea do you think is at the heart of civil rights and civil liberties?

A: I think it’s seeing all people as human beings. One of the lab technicians mentioned in the book that when she was looking at cells underneath a microscope she was fine, but when they had to cut tumors from Henrietta’s body, seeing Henrietta’s red nail polish upset her because the nail polish made Henrietta a real person. Once you take away a person’s being, that really confuses things.

Q: Is there a way to make things right for Henrietta Lacks and her family?

A: I think calling her Henrietta Lacks instead of HeLa is the place to start. Acknowledging her contribution in textbooks is another. The fact that the Lacks family has contributed so much to science and they don’t have equal access to health care speaks to the fact that the system has changed some—it has gotten better—but it hasn’t changed enough, and it has miles and miles to go before we’re anywhere remotely OK. Q: Your mom is a doctor. Does she know about HeLa cells?

A: As I was finishing the book I noticed that Dr. Howard Jones, Henrietta’s gynecologist at Johns Hopkins, went on to research genetics at Eastern Virginia Medical School, where my mom graduated. I texted her and said, ‘Do you know Dr. Jones?’ and she said, ‘Yeah, I’ve been in scrubs with him,’ which was neat. She had heard of HeLa as a physician but didn’t know the story behind it. She didn’t know about his work at Johns Hopkins, but she was very positive about what he did afterward and his efforts to try to find solutions to genetic diseases. This is just another example of life not being all black or white, good or bad. It’s a mix of the two.

D’Anthony Allen’s 10th grade classes considered the complexities of civil rights and civil liberties this fall by imagining how a trial might have looked if Henrietta Lacks’ family had sued Johns Hopkins in the 1950s over the rights to use Lacks’ cells in research studies.

Students gathered in John Badham Theater on Aug. 28 to watch Martin Luther King’s historic “I Have a Dream” speech, delivered from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial during the March on Washington 50 years ago that day.

Making Connections “I think it’s very helpful for our students that the faculty is collaborating, crosscurriculum, in order to look at civil rights and civil liberties in a variety of ways,” says English faculty member D’Anthony Allen, who teaches 8th and 10th graders. “That includes events that have taken place in the past, how we think about others here at school, and how our society perceives differences.”

are intellectual, physical, or differences of opinion.”

In October, 50 art history students visited the Birmingham Museum of Art with art teacher Mel Machen to see photographer Dawoud Bey’s exhibit serving as a memorial to the four girls killed in the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing and the two boys killed the same day. In September, science teacher Lisa Balazs took 8th graders to visit the Birmingham History Center and Sloss Furnaces, where ISS American History At the core of civil liberties and civil rights are the values of honoring human teacher Dr. Richard Neely, who has led life and acknowledging individual spirit, tours at Sloss for 25 years, served as their says Allen. “I’m encouraging my students tour guide. In spring, as part of Pete to respect differing viewpoints and apply Arner’s Civil Rights class, they’ll tour the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute and the connections that they make in their 16th Street Baptist Church, all to further academic lives in their personal lives as well. When we read about Tom Robinson their understanding of events that have taken place close to home. and Mayella Ewell in To Kill a Mockingbird and we make certain connections about The Changing Face how these characters treat each other and are being treated, we want to make of Civil Rights sure that we are not being hypocritical in the way that we treat people with “We really wanted them to participate differences, whether those differences directly because of the 50th anniversary of the Birmingham Movement,” says fall 201 3 Balazs. “We’re also talking about the

groups of immigrants and slaves and convicts who were the work force behind Sloss in the late 1800s through mid1900s because a part of the theme has to do not only with civil rights of the sixties but also with how the rights of every person can be subjugated when they do not have authority. That includes immigrant, poor, uneducated people— and others.”

Sarah Noone ’14 is spending part of her senior year working with art teacher Mel Machen on an independent study on feminist art. Machen and Noone are talking with local women artists about their work, and Noone is looking at how their art reflects their daily lives.

“A lot of very powerful feminist art is about oppression, sexism, intersecting identities, and the difficult struggles that women face,” says Noone, who works as a youth activist to raise awareness of LGBTQ [Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer] rights issues in Alabama and beyond. (Read more about her on page 6.) “Society doesn’t always recognize their struggles. When you look carefully, it’s not always only about gender stereotypes; you also find links to race, socioeconomic status, and sexual preference. I’m very excited to be looking at it through these different lenses.”

Latin and English teacher Douglas Ray will teach a senior English elective, Queer Literature and Theory, next spring. Twelve students are enrolled in the course, which will look at the theoretical and historical frameworks that shape the discourse of all things

“queer,” says Ray. “It’s readily discussed in the public that the ‘next frontier’ for the civil rights movement includes the extension of rights and civil liberties to LGBT people. We will carve an academic, intellectual space for students to understand why this movement is taking this direction now and the aesthetic, social, and political implications for them individually and for our society collectively.”

Ray says he is particularly thrilled to be teaching the class on the secondary level, in the South. “I’ve never seen a similar course listed on another independent school’s course catalog.

Queer theory seeks to dismantle or destabilize established ‘norms’ that then oppress expressions of identity classified as ‘other.’ The term ‘queer,’ then, while often used in discussions of gender and sexuality studies, can be extended into many different aspects of the human experience.”

Intentionally Diverse, Inclusive Looking as a school community at topics such as civil rights and civil liberties gives ISS students a chance to think “in a more discerning way” about events happening now in our community, nation, and world, says Horn.

“Such discussions have also contributed to the development of a more open and nurturing environment here at ISS,” says History teacher Dr. Bob Cooper, who has taught at Indian Springs for 39 years. Springs founder Harvey Woodward, who died in 1930, stipulated in his will that the school would admit only white, Christian boys; another stipulation, however, that the Board of Governors could make changes that needed to be made, has resulted in Springs being heralded in the region for its diversity and tolerance.

Holding the Line Indian Springs is honored to have received a complete portfolio of artist and ISS parent Debra Riffe’s 33 linoleum block relief prints depicting portraits of civil rights leaders and foot soldiers whose struggles and triumphs changed the world. Riffe presented her gift, called ”Holding the Line,” to the school in August to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Movement. “These important prints are a stunning representation of the men and women who linked arms (and hearts and minds and people) to change our country,” says Director of Development Beth Mulvey. The prints will be on display in the ISS Town Hall through November.

f e at u r e “It’s with a great deal of pride that I listened to Dr. Horn give the opening convocation in which he launched our theme for the year,” says Director Gareth Vaughan. “We continue to take our responsibility to serve our local community, state, and region very seriously, and we believe that one of the ways in which we do this is by exploring what it means to be an intentionally diverse, intentionally inclusive educational community.”

Veteran director John Badham’s ’57 new book, which explains the essentials of good moviemaking, was released in September. The publication coincided with the 30th anniversary of Badham’s films WarGames and Blue Thunder and the 20th anniversary of Point of No Return and Another Stakeout.

CLASS OF 1966

Charles Plosser ’66 received the 2013 Outstanding Alumnus Award in May for his distinguished achievements as an economic and public policy leader and educator.

President and CEO of the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, he is among 12 Reserve Bank presidents who sit on the Federal Open 2013 Outstanding Alumnus Charles Plosser ’66 (center) with his brother, 1986 Outstanding Alumnus G. Gray Market Committee, which Plosser ’63 (at left), and OAA Committee Chairman D.G. determines the nation’s Pantazis ’03 monetary policy.

SURPRISE REUNION ISS Alumnus Frank Morring, Jr., ’68 presented the 2012 Aviation Week & Space Technology magazine Space Laureate Award to fellow alumnus David Oh ’87—representing the Mars Science Laboratory Entry, Descent, and Landing Team—at the magazine’s annual Laureates Awards Dinner on March 7 in Washington, D.C. Morring is senior space editor at Aviation Week, and Oh served as lead flight director for the mission that placed NASA’s Curiosity Rover on the surface of Mars.

“I covered the landing at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory last summer,” says Morring, “but didn’t realize that David and I both went to ISS until I read the school’s press release about him sometime later. Despite the difference in our ages, we discovered that we had three teachers in common: Mr. Fleming, Mr. Watkins, and Mr. Stegner, who taught both of us expository writing. (I tell people that was the only class I took in school that I still use to make a living. Obviously David, who has a PhD from MIT, has a few more skills.) It was really nice to meet an ISS alumnus and to see that the school turns out such distinguished graduates.”

Adrienne N. (James) Carter, MD, received the designation of Fellow in the American College of Physicians (FACP) in April. The honorary distinction recognizes excellence and contributions in the practice of medicine.

CLASS OF 1995 Daniel Alarcon will release his latest novel, At Night We Walk in Circles, on Oct. 31. It tells the suspenseful story of one man’s obsessive search to find the truth about another man’s downfall.

A NLesli N U A L Wright REPORT Birmingham, Ala. President, Parents Association D-Day Level Donor “For my family, one of the things that has been so appealing about Indian Springs is the quality of faculty and faculty-student relationships. Springs faculty have a passion for the subjects they teach and want to share the love of their subjects with their students. As a parent I think it’s important to support ISS financially so that we can continue to give faculty opportunities for continuing education to feed their passion for their subjects and keep abreast of forward-thinking teaching methods.”

Kevin Tavakoli ’98 Birmingham, Ala. Alumnus, Matching Gift Donor “A former ISS Mayor, I graduated in 1998 and have worked with Regions Bank since 2003.

Regions believes that it has a responsibility to the community in which it operates, and the company has a program that matches donations for its employees for certain nonprofits. Indian Springs has been great to me as well as to my two older brothers, Mony and David. For each of us, our Springs experience was very different: Mony enjoyed Scholars Bowl and the Academic Decathlon, David enjoyed choir, and I enjoyed sports and student government. I continue to give to Springs each year because I feel that the school taught me how to think and better understand ideas, other peoples, and cultures. I believe in the unique experience the school can provide, and I believe that my financial support and time are necessary to keep that spirit and core value possible.” (Pictured) Tavakoli
