90 YEARS OF THE LAUSANNE WAY | LAUSANNE FALL 2016

Since our founding in 1926, Lausanne has created a joyful and challenging learning process. By encouraging our students toward continual self-reflection and providing opportunities for them to succeed, we’ve empowered our students to seek their own journeys.

The character they’ve built through service to others and the meaningful relationships they’ve forged on our campus give them the strength to make a difference on the global stage. It’s not just what we do. It’s who we are. It’s The Lausanne Way.

LETTER FROM THE HEADMASTER I first stepped onto Lausanne’s campus as its headmaster on a hot day in July 11 years ago. My family and I had just moved from North Carolina, and the humidity I’d been warned about lived up to its reputation. Even though we expected the warmth, we were still awestruck by its depth. Thankfully, the same could be said about the reception we received from the Lausanne community.

As we celebrate our 90th Anniversary this year, we’ve been reflecting back on the school’s history, and it’s easy to see that we’ve evolved from our beginnings as an all-girls school in 1926. But it’s also abundantly clear that our founders’ emphasis on challenging the status quo, committing to small class sizes, inspiring teachers and instructing in a highly individualized way are values we hold dear today.

The campus we’ve called home has grown from a house in midtown to our home on Massey, but the challenging curriculum, which focuses on giving students the ability to solve any problem they face in the future, gives us our foundation. The school has always endeavored to ask the right questions and looked to nurture students towards open-minded global citizenship, giving of themselves to make an impact on the world.

Class of 2031 member Olivia Smith works on one of her art masterpieces with Stuart McCathie now in his 12th year as Lausanne’s headmaster. Mr. McCathie spent the first 14 years of his career in education teaching fine arts. He specialized in painting, drawing and ceramics at schools in the UK, Bahamas and Connecticut.

Our school has an incredible history. It’s long been a place that helps students find their passion in an environment not only of tolerance and empathy but of true community support. At Lausanne, the artist, the academic and the athlete can each be celebrated for their interests and not be typecast into a role because of them.

This special edition of our magazine showcases how The Lausanne Way continues to triumph the ideas and traditions that have made our school a remarkable place for generations. We hope reading through the stories of our past gives you a renewed sense of our community’s history and inspires you to reflect upon your own time at Lausanne.

“ We hope reading through the stories of our past gives you a renewed sense of our community’s history and inspires you to reflect upon your own time at Lausanne.”

—Stuart McCathie, Headmaster

Whether you’re an alumnus, a current student, a parent, or a friend of the school, thank you for your support of The Lausanne Way.

90 YEARS OF THE LAUSANNE WAY | LAUSANNE FALL 2016

We’ve graduated generations of alumni empowered to forge their own path. And our students learn to respect and consider the viewpoints of others as they work through complex problems today just as they have for 90 years. That desire for different thoughts and opinions has steadily grown the diversity of our campus over the decades, giving our students the ability to form meaningful relationships across stereotypical, socio-economic and global divides.

While we are proud of the history that we’ve built together, we challenge ourselves to be better tomorrow than we are today and are constantly looking for ways to further serve our students and community. Lausanne will continue to adjust to fully prepare our graduates for college and for life in a global environment, but our consistent core values will continue to guide us into the future just as they have for the past 90 years.

1920s: BRAVE LEADERSHIP

It was a radical idea for the time, but the ladies were visionaries who understood the importance of a fine education. It was their passion to make a difference in the lives of young people.

Emma Jett and Bessie Statler quietly went over the details of their plan on a small side porch in the Central Gardens neighborhood in 1926.

Lately, starting their own all-girls school had become the only topic of conversation at the meetings hosted by their friend Nelse Thompson in her home.

It was a radical idea for the time, but the ladies were visionaries who understood the importance of a fine education. Their passion was to make a difference in the lives of young people.

Emma DeSassaure Jett was from a lineage of bankers in Lausanne, Switzerland, a city that prided itself on elite education. Although the general mindset in the 1920s was that women would not pursue professional careers outside of the home, Mrs. Jett was inspired by the European academic mold. She wanted to create an institution which provided the highest standards for educating girls and an opportunity to be more than what society expected.

The two ladies “were scared to death of their own audacity,” Mrs. Thompson confided in her journal at the time. But in the fall of 1926, The Commercial Appeal reported that “a new preparatory school for girls” had opened at 1649 Central Avenue.

They turned the gorgeous two-story private residence into an educational home for girls ranging from kindergarten through 12th grade. The entrance hall staircase no longer led to upstairs bedrooms but to Lower School classrooms instead. Classes were held for the Upper School girls on the ground floor, and the beautiful main floor parlor now doubled as the meeting place for history class and a biology lab.

The front lawn was used for recitals, sports and graduation ceremonies with the columned front porch as the “go-to” class picture setting. Class of 1950 graduate Marlene Tate remembers how the dog that lived next door became a permanent fixture around the house.

“Pinky was always lying near the fireplace and watching us during study hall,” she shares. “I always thought that was a cozy thing.”

Described by former students as being extremely efficient, Miss Statler focused on meaningful learning and growth for each individual.

Ninety years later, Lausanne Collegiate School’s name and location have changed, but the close-knit family feel and the ideas established by the founders are evident in the school of today.

And the global-mindedness Mrs. Jett passed to her students prepared them for the world stage. Mignon Dunn ’45 followed Mrs. Jett’s example of grace and poise as she stepped out on stage quite literally, becoming an international opera star and Metropolitan Opera legend.

“Mrs. Jett was always so elegant,” Ms. Dunn recalled as she admired the beautiful portraits of her former headmistresses during a recent tour of the Massey campus.

She brought her hand to her chest as she turned to the other painting, “And they captured Miss Statler’s eyes perfectly.”

The school’s founders were bold enough to walk an uncertain path to ensure the young women they taught could more easily find theirs.

“They had a bold vision that challenged the status quo, producing an institutional mindset where anything is possible,” reflects current Headmaster Stuart McCathie.

Because of that leadership, we have confidence in knowing who we are, where we are going and how to get there. This is the legacy of Lausanne.

1930s: CREATING A JOYFUL AND CHALLENGING LEARNING PROCESS

Asher Arney ’28 gripped his mother’s hand as he excitedly walked toward his JK classroom on the first day. As his beaming teacher Mrs. Lindy Roberson knelt down to greet the little Lynx to his new school, his mother had a moment of déjà vu.

“It was like I had gone back in time,” reminisced class of 2003 graduate Julie Baer Arney. “It feels right to be back here and to send my son to the same place that gave me such a positive and nurturing environment to grow up in.”

“Times change, theories and strategies develop, so the continual progressive nature of the school was very attractive,” said Julie.

This same educational mindset was present in the 1930s as Lausanne founders Mrs. Emma Jett and Miss Bessie Statler continued to grow their all-girls school. Memphis families in that decade, dealing with the economic turmoil of the Great Depression, sought out Lausanne because of the school’s intense commitment to higher education to help prepare their children for an uncertain future.

“I went to Lausanne in a serious way,” remembers Lausanne

The class of 2017 will see seven students graduate who are children of alumnae.

During this time period, Mrs. Jett and Miss Statler witnessed the major financial devastation of the country, including some of their Lausanne families. Despite the loss happening around them, the founders of our school remained focused on their vision, knowing a strong education was something their students could never lose.

Through today’s leadership and exceptional faculty, the high quality educational standards at Lausanne continue. The meaningful relationships that are developed both inside and outside of the classroom between students and teachers allow a trust to be built, which leads to a limitless learning environment. The teachers develop problem solvers and thinkers, not memorizers. Our vertically aligned curriculum threads through each division and is taught by educators who strive to teach about the world and how to successfully contribute to it.

Lausanne Collegiate School develops a love of learning in our students, and, in turn, they love back.

Just ask the Arney family.

“Asher loves his school, and we couldn’t really ask for anything more.”

Many other Memphis families share the same sentiment about their alma mater. This year alone, the class of 2017 will graduate seven seniors whose mothers are Lausanne alumnae. Though there have been many changes through the years, the school’s evolution has only served to improve Lausanne. The greatest attention has been focused on retaining a joyful and challenging learning environment and a close-knit, small-school feel. It’s an effort that was not lost on the Arneys as they began the search for their son’s school.

1940s: SERVICE TO OTHERS

Slowly closing his laptop after a regular Skype visit with his dadaji and dadiji, Lausanne senior Rishab Jain ’17 couldn’t help but smile. Most of the hourlong call with his grandparents had been consumed with fixing their connection.

“They were definitely having some challenges,” Rishab laughed as he retold the moment almost two years later.

The technology gap between himself and his paternal grandparents created a fond family memory and an idea.

Ann Phillips Wyckoff ‘44

“I knew my grandparents couldn’t be the only people of that generation who were having a hard time adjusting to the advances in technology,” he said.

With that in mind, Rishab began reaching out to several senior living facilities around Memphis and setting up time after school with the residents to teach basic technology skills.

“Lausanne has helped me to engage the social aspect of learning,” Rishab shared. “It’s shown me that I can help others progress in a changing world.”

The founders of Lausanne encouraged this same mindset from the school’s inception, impressing a strong sense of fairness, justice and respect for other individuals while serving locally and globally.

Recalled Lausanne class of 1944 alumna Ann Phillips Wyckoff, “We were expected to do a lot for others in addition to being young women trying to get an education.”

12

Ann and her classmates, clad in the required uniform of reddish-pink aprons, served the Memphis community by spending much of their time with the Red Cross at John Gaston Hospital on Madison.

“It was a different era; it was war time,” she reflected. She knew the work she was doing with wounded soldiers had a global impact.

An entire year would pass after her graduation before World War II ended, but the value of investing in others, instilled by the Lausanne faculty, has remained with her throughout her life.

“It was so long ago, yet still so vivid in my memory,” Mrs. Wyckoff fondly recalls.

Lausanne has a way of doing that.

Graduates from each decade come back to visit, traveling from all over the globe. Once on campus, they consistently share about how Lausanne has helped shape their lives. How the art of serving people, which they learned at their alma mater, is not just something they do but is a part of who they are.

When Rishab rewinds to the first day he arrived to volunteer, he remembers being greeted enthusiastically by a dozen people he describes as grandparents and great-grandparents. Throughout that afternoon, he rushed around to assist the eager new techies. As his elderly students began to master their computers, he saw their faces light up with joy. He sensed that it would change their lives… and that the work was changing his life, as well.

He moved beyond a standard service project. By taking the time to show others how they can be empowered through technology, Rishab gained an understanding of the power of giving back to the world.

It’s The Lausanne Way.

Because Mrs. Thompson empowered the founders to follow their vision, students could be empowered in the classroom.

14

1950s: EMPOWERING INDIVIDUALS

In 1953, founders Bessie Statler and Emma Jett sat down with their friend Nelse Thompson about their beloved Lausanne School for Girls. But the conversation lacked the optimism of the one that started the institution a quarter of a century before.

Despite selling the original location on Central and moving to a building on Union, Lausanne was in financial distress. The founders sadly explained that the school was in jeopardy of closing its doors for good.

Mrs. Thompson, a respected Memphis socialite and civic leader, knew she had to act. She was passionate about giving young ladies a true education and felt no other institution in the Mid-South gave them that opportunity. It’s why her children had been among the first to attend Lausanne. She traveled to schools in the Northeast to investigate ways to help keep the school afloat.

Mrs. Thompson’s love of Lausanne and pride in the city of Memphis propelled her into pulling off a near miracle.

She helped raise funds to secure the school financially. She intensely promoted the school, and soon girls from other cities and towns began enrolling. Realizing they needed a place to stay while

Mrs. Jett passed away in 1955. The board brought Headmistress Myrtle Cobb to lead the school, and during her time at the school, kindergarten became co-ed in 1957. Miss Statler was laid to rest in 1958, and a year later, Lausanne moved to its current location at 1381 West Massey Road.

Because Mrs. Thompson empowered the founders to follow their vision, students could be empowered in the classroom.

“Lausanne instilled a confidence in us. It was okay to make mistakes,” shared Poohie Jappe Burr ’59.

“We never left without knowing how to be better individuals. We had so much more potential to lead lives with a greater purpose.”

That legacy continues.

Our students are encouraged to find their own path, supported on their journey by the close relationships of faculty and peers. Following Mrs. Thompson’s example, eight current staff members now open their homes to host international students.

All students take ownership of their academic endeavors, which in turn produces confident risk-takers with an understanding of a broad and balanced range of disciplines.

Danielle Howard ’17 understands this well. The current president of Lausanne’s Student Government Association balances her leadership position with an active role in Lausanne’s theater productions, varsity cheerleading and as a full candidate in our rigorous International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme.

“The connection students make with their teachers allows them to develop a relationship where they can succeed in the classroom under any circumstances,” reflected the senior. “Lausanne has given me the opportunity to go into real-world situations and pushes me to make connections.”

Mrs. Thompson began an uphill climb in the 1950s to save the school, but, by empowering the founders then, our students flourish today. It was a journey she remembered fondly.

“I’ve had the time of my life,” shared one of the most influential figures in the history of Lausanne.

90 YEARS OF THE LAUSANNE WAY | LAUSANNE FALL 2016

“I was told there were no ‘ranking girls schools’ west of the Atlantic except in Texas,” Mrs. Thompson recounted. “The school official added, as if talking to himself, ‘But of course you come from a backward area.’ That stung me and shifted my motivation from just helping Mrs. Jett to a decision that her life’s work and all the best of it would become the school of the South.”

pursuing their education, Mrs. Thompson opened the doors to her own home, changing Lausanne into a boarding school.

It’s a life honored in everything we do at Lausanne.

1960s: CONTINUAL SELF-REFLECTION

“My dear Mrs. Thompson,” began Walter Coppedge in a letter written during his 1960 Fourth of July vacation in Bloomington, Indiana.

“I have had a capital idea, and I wish to enlist your support. I have been thinking of a series of concerts and lectures during the coming year,” he eloquently described to Lausanne patron Nelse Thompson. “This is precisely the sort of program with which a good school should be associated. There are all sorts of ‘cultural’ implications here…it would be of great benefit to our girls.”

Dr. Coppedge, Lausanne’s fifth head of school, was “interested in anything intellectual,” according to his students. He became an immediate instigator of change when he arrived at the school in 1960, working to design new opportunities for Lausanne students to become more open-minded thinkers with a strong knowledge about the world around them.

Aldous Huxley, author of “Brave New World,” arrived at the Lausanne campus in 1963 as a Distinguished Speaker. In complete awe, the ladies of Lausanne sat in English class and were taught by arguably one of the most famed authors of the 20th century.

Years after graduation, class of 1969 alumna June West reflected on these unparalleled learning experiences with the guests.

“Now in my adult life, I understand how important these people are in Western Civilization, and it’s really quite amazing,” Ms. West shared.

The Distinguished Speaker Series ended in 1964. But, in 1992 under the leadership of then Headmaster George Elder, the series was reignited and continues today. The series is now known as the Chair of Ideas and gives the honored speakers, who are all distinguished Lausanne alumni, a platform to share their experiences with our current students.

With that goal and the support of Mrs. Thompson, the Distinguished Speaker Series began. Speakers from around the globe came to Lausanne to speak in an assembly and then visit individual classrooms. The impact of learning first hand from the experiences of such accomplished guests made a huge impact.

Through this tradition, our current students have an opportunity to learn from those who have gone before them at Lausanne. Through the life experiences shared by the Chair of Ideas speaker, they are encouraged to recognize and approach complex problems and then to make ethical decisions. Because of this continual self-reflection, our students are able to understand and capitalize on their strengths and limitations, while at the same time consider the needs and concerns of others.

“The lecture series made people more serious about Lausanne,” reflected Susan Tucker Kuhnel ’63. “Dr. Coppedge wanted to continue the tradition of Miss Statler and Mrs. Jett of making girls freethinkers.”

Lausanne senior Cameron Kinley ’17 has thrived off of these values for the past four years. He has received 13 football scholarship offers so far from colleges like Harvard, Princeton and Yale. He knows he’s been well prepared.

Numerous names make up the list of Lausanne Distinguished Speakers, including Dr. Margaret Meade, William Buckley Jr. and Archduke Otto von Habsburg.

“Lausanne has set me up for life, and the doors have been opened,” said the full International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme candidate who plans to study pre-med. “I have been pushed to the point where I focus on how to solve a problem

rather than finding ways to get around it. It’s an environment that will challenge you daily, and that is why the students are always looking for ways to be better.”

“On the whole it appears to me that we have nothing to lose from such a project and an immense amount to gain,” wrote the headmaster as he closed his correspondence to Mrs. Thompson.

Dr. Coppedge’s notion was correct: Lausanne has gained immensely.

“ The Huxley visit was, and still is, Lausanne to me. There was an excitement about ideas, coupled with the confidence that of course we could engage with them, and the grounding to do so. It paid off handsomely for me. I am a recovering gossip columnist. But I’ve also covered war in Lebanon for a newspaper… All this was very Lausanne. It was an education for whatever life throws at you.” —Charlotte Hays ‘65

“ I don’t think at any point in my fourteen years at Lausanne I’d have dared to imagine I would be living in Beijing and building a career in China. In retrospect, however, the stepping stones were there all along… From my first day of junior kindergarten, I was coaxed into thinking beyond the boundaries of our small school by the Mississippi … going further always felt like a natural extension of my education at Lausanne.”

1970s: EMBRACING GLOBAL MINDEDNESS

She was first.

In May of 1979, Monique Smith not only became the school’s first African American valedictorian, but also the first African American to walk across the graduation stage at Lausanne Collegiate School.

“I was quite aware at the time I was a pioneer,” she recalled from her office near Washington, D.C. Monique came to Lausanne in 1973 at the height of the “White Flight” era from public schools in the Memphis area.

While different religions were already represented in the Lausanne student body, racial diversity was an important element that had been missing. She was the lone African American student in the Upper School at the time but recalls feeling nurtured, appreciated and empowered from day one.

“The Lausanne I experienced seemed to celebrate my different experiences in a way that educated many of my classmates. The few times there were instances of race-based ‘challenges,’ inevitable at that time in Memphis, it was handled with grace, sensitivity and class,” says Ms. Smith.

Over the decades after Monique’s graduation, her alma mater continued to expand its pursuit of a diverse student body.

The school soon had a graduating class with male students. Students from around the globe began to study at Lausanne as international enrollment began to grow. Eventually, Lausanne’s commitment to embracing global mindedness would lead it to become the only PK-12th grade International Baccalaureate World School in the state of Tennessee.

Over the course of 90 years, our school has welcomed families from 78 countries who represent a variety of opinions, faiths, interests, socio-economic backgrounds and cultures. These differences produce a learning atmosphere for our students which leads to a true understanding of their peers and creates a deep sense of empathy for the world around them. Through daily discussions in the classroom, students in every division learn constantly from their classmates’ wide-range of world experiences. This intangible element combined with the excellent curriculum is why Lausanne students are equipped for

both college and life in a global environment.

Class of 2015 graduate Prashanth Raj greatly appreciates how this setting readied him for his time on the West Coast at UCLA. “Lausanne prepared me to assimilate other’s cultures into my own life and made me a more open-minded thinker as a human being,” says Prashanth.

Today, the school continues to reach towards giving our students an environment with diverse viewpoints, providing students from around the globe the opportunity of an education at Lausanne.

But 37 years ago, as Monique Smith sat in her cap and gown looking across the crowd of parents, grandparents and friends, the idea of today’s Lausanne was just a dream. She was conscious of the magnitude of the moment.

She walked up to the podium to give her valedictory address knowing this was her opportunity, like so many other barrierbreakers, to leave her unique mark. She challenged her 13 fellow graduates to be victors and not victims, no matter their circumstances. This Lausanne pioneer of diversity had lived different and now challenged her friends to make a difference.

“We are entering the world and creating our own lives. Let it be everyone’s resolve to approach the world with a purpose, with a vision,” Monique concluded.

In 2016, the students of Monique’s beloved Lausanne are not only prepared to approach the world; they look like the world.

It’s The Lausanne Way.

“ The Lausanne I experienced seemed to celebrate my different experiences in a way that educated many of my classmates. —Monique Smith ‘79

“ Everyone at Lausanne believed in me, and that taught me to believe in myself. The coaches showed me my potential and lit a permanent fire beneath me. So I am still working hard to be a better athlete, to be a better student and to be a better person.

I cannot thank Lausanne enough for making me who I am today.” —Laura Elise Grisoni ’13

1980s: BUILDING CHARACTER

When Fred Blackmon asked, “What does 365 mean to you?” on Twitter in the fall of 2011, the former assistant head of Upper School never imagined he would find a hand written answer on his desk the next morning.

“Three-sixty-five is a number until you live it,” began the note from Elise Grisoni ’13, a junior when she wrote the essay (reprinted to the right).

The mantra, developed just months before to inspire our athletic teams, was gaining traction around campus.

“Three-sixty-five was new, it was something important to me, something I believed in wholeheartedly,” said Elise. “To me it means striving to get better today and every day as a student, as an athlete and as a person.”

Although it had never been described on paper in such a thoughtful way, this mindset has lived out for decades through the Lausanne athletic department.

As seekers of knowledge who understand the importance of intellectual, physical and emotional balance, Lausanne students have worked over the years to achieve excellence in all areas of their lives.

This balance is why, from the beginning, athletics have been an integral part of Lausanne.

As the school evolved, so did the athletic offerings. In the mid-70s, we adopted our first official mascot the Lightning.

In 1982, Lausanne entered into an agreement with the Racquet Club of Memphis. The partnership brought male tennis players from around the globe to professionally train, changing the landscape of the athletic department and our school learning environment. That year, tennis players William Conley, Adam Hohenberg and Neal Stapp became the first boys to graduate from Lausanne. In 1985, the Lightning became the Lynx, and “Louie” was welcomed to our campus.

90 YEARS OF THE LAUSANNE WAY | LAUSANNE FALL 2016

Known simply as “The Blue Team” and “The Gold Team,” on the Central and Union campuses, the most popular athletic activities were ballet, tennis and equestrianism.

23

“ As a player, I remember traveling to play some of the best competition in the city, state and across the nation.

We had four 30win seasons during my five years with the varsity team.

At the end of it all, we won the state championship and helped bring respect to our school and its community.”

—Lauren Avant Sumski ‘10

The number of international students began to find Lausanne through its reputation abroad, and the ranks of students from other countries began to swell. In the early 2000s, a tall Spaniard walked through the doors on West Massey.

Marc Gasol ’04, who self-admittedly had “really, really bad English at the time,” enrolled at Lausanne because of the international student population. The academic culture and international students made Lausanne the perfect fit for the future NBA star and allowed him to excel with the assistance of his teachers and teammates. Marc went on to become the 2003 state of Tennessee Mr. Basketball.

“The reason I chose Lausanne was that they had so many European students,” said the center for the Memphis Grizzlies. “I had a basketball teammate in every class so they could explain to me what the teacher was asking. Two of my best friends [Spanishspeaking] were from Frayser. I spent all of my days with them and made sure one of them was with me in every class.”

Marc’s former teammate Carlos Taylor ’04 remembers the strong emphasis placed on each athlete’s academic path. Now back at Lausanne as a coach, Carlos knows first-hand how balancing both academics and athletics feed off of each other.

“The discipline instilled in a person who is striving to be the best they can be on the court absolutely translates over to the classroom and allows them to excel academically, too.”

The character built by being a part of a team leads our studentathletes to be even more prepared for college and for life in a global environment.

Current senior Princess Stark ’17 believes her time as a varsity athlete at Lausanne has allowed her to become more empathetic towards others and their differences.

“Being on a team helps me in life by knowing that everyone is different and has a different method they use in order to work,” said the multi-sport athlete. “I have developed life skills that I will use moving forward in life and have a better understanding how to manage conflict and have a positive attitude.” Princess will use that understanding as she plays volleyball at Southern University next year, where she’s receiving an athletic scholarship to support her education.

Lausanne has seen many athletic changes over the decades. In 2010, Lausanne opened our new state-of-the-art athletic facility. The past two summers we have seen class of 2013 graduate Cameron Payne and class of 2015 graduate Skal Labissiere become our second and third students to be drafted into the NBA. Just four seasons ago, Lynx football took to the gridiron for the first time since the 90s. This year the team is in the hunt for a state title.

Lausanne now offers 13 different varsity sports, supported by our Lower and Middle School sports programs.

Our athletes are continuing the legacy of excellence on the field while at the same time thriving academically in the rigorous International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme.

The relationships built and work ethic developed through athletics weaves through each of our Lausanne student athletes. The 365 mindset is not just an idea but is alive throughout our campus.

To Fred Blackmon, that fact was never more evident than on the day Elise Grisoni wrote him a note.

Elise Grisoni summed it up in her 2011 letter more succinctly.

“Blue and Gold ‘til I’m old,” pledged the junior, wrapping up her note.

Who could argue against that?

—Neal Stapp ‘82

“ I learned to balance a schedule and how to commit myself to giving my best effort both athletically and academically.

While finishing my senior season with a state championship was an unforgettable experience, it is the life lessons I learned that I carry with me and apply to my daily life every day.”

—Sharwil Bell ‘08

90 YEARS OF THE LAUSANNE WAY | LAUSANNE FALL 2016

“This note has a lifetime impact on me,” said Mr. Blackmon from his Birmingham home. “The relationships and connections we are able to form at Lausanne go much further than the classroom or athletic field, and they go both ways.”

“ My fondest memory of Lausanne was just the intimacy that came from having small classes. The teacher interaction and care was extraordinary, and all the students seemed to root for one another.

I remember being in college and being so grateful I spent my senior year of high school at Lausanne. It was simply a fantastic learning experience.”

1990s: OPPORTUNITIES TO SUCCEED The lights seemed brighter than usual to David Rhea ’18 as he stood in the wings waiting for his cue to take the stage. The actor in him kept his nerves well hidden, but the Lausanne junior was about to experience one of the most surreal moments of his 17-year-old life.

He was walking onto a London stage to perform Shakespeare.

“ I had a great experience at Lausanne and am still friends with many of the people I grew up with there. They are some of the smartest people I know and the most clever and creative.”

—Wendy Wurtzburger Bentley ‘76

“I remember being in Middle School and hearing the Upper School students sing,” said chorus member Keyla Pointer ’17. “Those moments I look back on and remember the reaction of the audience and my own feeling of amazement. I want to be able to give people that same reaction when they hear me.”

“Throughout the entire summer, I would have flashes of disbelief that I was actually here and having this experience,” said the smiling Lausanne thespian.

Students are exposed to cultural art styles from around the globe which adds depth to their ability to express themselves. As they incorporate that broad knowledge into their art, it stands out among work from their peers.

David spent five weeks this past summer studying at London’s Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts. Thousands of students from around the globe applied for the prestigious program and only 80 were accepted. David was the youngest of the group which represented 25 different countries.

This past summer, Scholastic National Gold Medalists Sammi Weiss ‘19 and Solbok Yi ‘19 were honored nationally in New York at Carnegie Hall for their work. The awards and accolades are extraordinary, but it’s the intangible elements of the arts that last for a lifetime.

“I was blown away to be able to learn and become friends with such a large international community this summer,” reflected David.

“Without a doubt my time at Lausanne and the school’s culture is why it was such an easy transition for me.”

“Courage is an essential part of art. One brave line can make an entire drawing live,” said Lausanne sophomore Solbok Yi, who arrived at Lausanne two years ago from Korea. “I was not as courageous with my work in Korea, but Lausanne has pushed me to perform 100 percent.”

David joins decades of students who have benefited from a major focus on the arts at Lausanne. From the stage to the Conservatory, darkroom to band room, Atelier to chorus risers, the opportunities to succeed are endless.

While all Lausanne artists are encouraged to follow their own path, they are inspired by those who have gone before them.

An appreciation for the arts is instilled in our Lynx beginning in Early Childhood. In the Lower School art room, they create through observations, exploration and manipulations of ideas and materials.

Down the hallway in music, the Orff-Schulwerk process for music instruction gives a complete learning experience that uses multiple ways of expressing and creating music.

This thoughtful approach to artistic development continues into Middle and Upper School. The arts are a vessel which allow students to learn by doing, learning to work in groups and develop the ability to pursue long-term goals. Our students are empowered and evolve into more confident people not only in the studio but also in the classroom.

“Lausanne has definitely shown me how to be creative in ways that may not seem very artistic,” said Emma Whitehorn ’17. The International Baccalaureate Visual Arts student currently has a piece of art on display at the Frist Center in Nashville.

“Giving a PowerPoint presentation that’s not only accurate but also visually appealing is something that I never would have thought important before. Even if I don’t pursue the fine arts, I know how to project to an audience of executives, and I can always carry that with me.”

Lausanne graduates across the decades have carried their artistic abilities with them as they’ve moved on to the larger stage. Alumni from the 90s show the impact that our graduates have had across a variety of disciplines. Q-Juan Taylor ’97 has used his culinary art talents and opened Sinema, a highly-praised Nashville restaurant.

Matt Isbell ‘99 continues to make a splash throughout the U.S. and Canada with the Memphis-based Ghost Town Blues Band. Class of 1996 graduate Ginnifer Goodwin, who graced the Lausanne stage multiple times as a student, has gone on to have a successful career in Hollywood.

“Lausanne allows kids to explore their passions and have their own ideas and opinions,” reflects Middle and Upper School theatre teacher Ashley Bugg Brown. “I can think of no better way to prepare a student for success.”

—Q-Juan Taylor ‘97

“ Each student is exposed to the arts in some way at Lausanne, and I believe this is the key to any successful educational experience.” —Carly Nahon ‘15

90 YEARS OF THE LAUSANNE WAY | LAUSANNE FALL 2016

Our current artists join a legacy that continues to grow with each generation of students. Arts programs at Lausanne create a tight-knit community that provide support for individuals as they find their own spotlight.

“ Lausanne instilled in me the importance of building relationships, setting then reaching your goals and truthfully opening up a new world of growth and opportunity beyond what I could have possibly imagined. Without Lausanne, I could not be where I am today.”

27

2000s: MEANINGFUL RELATIONSHIPS Around lunchtime each day, a sea of Lynx pours into the hallways from every direction.

PK-3 students trickle in, walking in a single-file-line to the Outdoor Discovery Center. Middle School students rush past to join friends for Common Time, while Upper School students stream through as they make their way to Tully Dining Hall for lunch.

“ Lausanne provided me with the ability to understand how to consciously stay ahead of the curve and organize my own objectives, which today makes me stand out among my peers in the industry.”

—Ryan Thornton ’08

There is always interaction. Claps from high-fives between seniors and first-graders fill the air. Exuberant greetings pass from an eighthgrader and her former JK teacher. Laughter echoes off the walls of the breezeway.

You can hear meaningful relationships being forged at Lausanne.

“When we think back on our time at Lausanne, it’s the lessons we’ve learned from each other that will stick out,” remarks alumna Anita Pershad ’15.

Our students thrive in the co-educational learning environment, developing confidence as they share their thoughts and opinions, while learning to respect the viewpoints of others. It allows our students to better navigate the world in which they will engage outside of Lausanne.

School traditions help build the strong connection between generations.

Our school colors have always been blue and gold. The song “Chere Lausanne” was sung at Lausanne’s first graduation in 1929 and continues to this day. And Lausanne families continue such longstanding traditions as our annual Spaghetti Dinner and Fall Carnival.

28

In 1938, Jean Williamson was the first to receive the honor of being named Miss Lausanne, and Steve McKee was named the school’s first Mr. Lausanne in 1993. The titles have always been awarded to students that show strength in all aspects of Lausanne life, from our first honorees to our most recent.

Tony Chen ’16 received the honor last year. He attributes a large part of his success at Lausanne to the support of his peers.

“In Middle School, you get to know your classmates extremely well, and these established relationships make the Upper School experience a little easier as we navigated the IB Programme together,” said the Princeton University freshman.

“There is a very clear sense of family here, for both students and graduates, and that is what makes me so proud to be a part of this community.”

Newer Lausanne traditions include the tapping of the academic seal and the senior drive thru. Beginning its second decade, the Middle School house system gives students and teachers an opportunity to work with one another outside of the academic arena. They build relationships and establish connections that transcend classrooms and grade levels. The house system promotes healthy competition and a sense of school spirit, providing the older Middle School students with leadership opportunities.

Without a doubt, our greatest tradition over the generations is academic excellence. Lausanne takes great pride in continuing the groundwork laid by our founders, providing our students with a strong educational process. Seen through the lens of The Lausanne Way, our students are prepared for both college and for life in a global environment.

Taking a cue from our students we think that’s something to high-five about.

“ During my senior year at Lausanne—the final year of the recession—I was the editor of the yearbook. Though I did not realize it at the time, learning how to lead my team of staff to sell a total of $15,000 in ad space during a time of financial chaos was one of the best life lessons I could have received, and one that I still utilize today.” —Brooke Vogel ‘09 Evolution of the Lausanne seal.

71 Members: 88th Lausanne Graduating Class • 25 Full International Baccalaureate candidates • Matriculation to 49 different colleges and universities • 326 Acceptances to 167 different colleges and universities • 8 National Merit Scholarship Program Finalists • 8 National Merit Scholarship Program Semifinalists • 3 National Merit Scholarship Program Commended Scholars • 10 Lausanne Heritage Club Members • $9.6 Million in merit scholarships

• Lausanne Collegiate School’s successful Upper School International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma/ Certificate Programme has been supported by a Lausanne-Pre-IB curriculum in Lower School and Middle School since 2009.

Twentieth century product education models separate their subjects into silos and are therefore disconnected and often lack relevance for students. Our IB-driven, PK-3 through 12th grade curriculum moves across these disciplines both horizontally and vertically. This thoughtful and strategic approach develops students’ critical thinking skills that will serve them for the rest of their lives.

The instructional style at Lausanne is based upon questions that begin with “why” as opposed to “how” or “what.” This approach challenges students to think at a higher level, to analyze, to synthesize and to understand and apply complex concepts, thereby producing students who are comfortable being uncomfortable, helping them grow into curious, energetic, compassionate, and empathetic life-long learners.

Following a year-long study of the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (PYP) and the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme (MYP), faculty unanimously recommended that official accreditation and adoption of these programmes would better prepare our students for our established IB Diploma/Certificate Programmes.

Therefore, throughout the 2016-17 school year we will be working towards the goal of becoming a full IB school, PK-3 through 12th by August 2018. Securing accreditation in all three programmes will mean that Lausanne will become one of fewer than 20 schools in the United States to achieve the designation.

“ These are the friends who suffered together through the 20-hour bus trip to D.C., who dressed up as lab rats during Freshman Initiation Week, who toiled through PSAT and SAT prep courses and who I still keep in touch with today. Of everything I learned at Lausanne, I’m most thankful for learning how to form such lasting friendships.”— Laura Vang ‘11

For 90 years, Lausanne has been at the forefront of advancing education, evolving from a select girls school to become one of the most culturally diverse co-educational independent collegiate preparatory schools in the world. While we celebrate our past, we’re driven to ensure our students are prepared to take on tomorrow’s challenges and grow Lausanne’s impact around the globe.

• Lausanne Collegiate School has long been a leader in studentcentered educational practices, including hosting learning conferences on its campus for teachers and administrators from public and private schools for the past 14 years. During this time over 5,050 attendees from across the U.S. and overseas have attended our annual learning conference in July.

In the past, Lausanne has assisted schools overseas in hosting their own regional conferences. Locations include Mumbai, The Hague, Frankfurt and São Paulo.

“ Students should take the time to get to know everyone they can and take advantage of the Lausanne community and network. Lausanne made me believe that you should never be afraid to ask those questions that you are most eager to know the answer to because the worst that can happen is they say ‘no.’”

—Ben Orgel ‘10

Beginning in February 2017, Lausanne will work with partner schools to host regional conferences nationally, the first at The Oakridge School in Arlington, Texas, and the second at Brewster Academy, New Hampshire, in June.

• The requirements of the IB Programme and our commitment to active learning have meant that the converted dorm rooms, now serving as Upper School classrooms, are inadequate.

Following a full facilities audit and the development of a master campus plan, a feasibility study took place in November of 2015 to explore support for the construction of a new Upper School building. The results showed a deep commitment on the part of our community to provide future student-focused learning spaces for our Upper School students and new spaces for the arts and remodeled classrooms for grades seven and eight..

In the weeks and months ahead we will share more regarding the steps required to make this necessary future learning environment possible.

It is our hope to organize six specialized and non-competing national conferences that will connect with the core hub Lausanne conference here in Memphis in early July.

• Lausanne continues to be driven by its mission “to prepare each of its students for college and life in a global environment” by announcing that we are working towards establishing our first joint venture, overseas school partnership.

The goal of this overseas alliance is to collaborate in the opening of a flagship independent day school of 1200 students located in Southeast Asia, set to open August 2017. As the consultant partner, Lausanne will lend its expertise and experience in the areas of academic strategic planning, the IB application, the launching of an accredited IB Diploma Programme, having IB results above the world average and faculty professional development and evaluation.

Once the partnership comes to fruition, Lausanne will retain two experienced administrators that will become part of the leadership team for the school and will represent Lausanne’s interest on the ground.

“ The medical field is rapidly evolving, and Lausanne’s IB Programme gave me a solid foundation from which I can advance my studies and begin to discover solutions to today’s many medical challenges. I plan to pursue a career in bioengineering with a focus on artificial organs, and Lausanne’s rigorous science courses have prepared me the most for college and beyond.”

—Aynsley Hartney ’16

32

As we work to be better tomorrow than we are today, our goal continues to be developing the individual talents, intellects, creativity and character of our students. Lausanne will hold our core values dear, while fulfilling our mission on a global stage.

It’s The Lausanne Way Forward.

Having visited the campus several times in recent years, I’ve come to the conclusion that the administration at Lausanne thinks outside the box and has initiated a learning atmosphere and program that is second to none. The innovative style of figuring out how to teach to the child and not teach and hope the child conforms is especially refreshing.”

IN MEMORIUM:

Harriet Reid Stratton ‘45 passed away August 25, 2016, at Baptist Reynolds Hospice House in Collierville. She was born in Covington, Tenn., to Mr. and Mrs. Will Reid on January 17, 1928. She was a survivor of the 1941 polio epidemic that left her partially paralyzed. She graduated from Lausanne School for Girls and attended Southwestern College (Rhodes College).

She was also preceded in death by her grandson Henry Maney Heckle III and her sister Mrs. Hugh Smith.

Polio did not keep Tito, as she was known, from leading a full and active life. She loved the Lord, first and foremost, as well as her family and many friends.

She was mother to five children Ruthie Stratton Samaha (Joe), Happy Stratton Heckle (Maney), Margaret Neel Stratton, Henry Thomas Stratton Jr. (Andrea) and Mark Edward Stratton (Dawn).

She leaves behind her nine grandchildren Joseph Henry Samaha (Jennifer), Anne Samaha Dunavant (Woodson), Camille Samaha Rogers (King), Laurence Heckle Moore (Spencer), Neel Heckle Scruggs (Jon), Mark Reid Heckle (Keerthi), Mark Edward Stratton Jr., Celeste Luckett Stratton and Henry Thomas Stratton III .
