FROM HEAD OF SCHOOL

DAN SCHEIBE Here’s a question I have found more and more compelling during my time leading Lawrence Academy: How do you take something that was founded in the 18th century and make it meet today? The answer is actually pretty simple; focus on the students.

That is what the school’s founders intended: They understood a common, but too often overlooked truth: young people would determine the future. And because of that truth, Lawrence Academy today vibrates with the energy of the past meeting the future.

We are seizing on that energy — and the confidence and pride we have in our school’s identity and significance — to introduce a new “visual identity” for Lawrence Academy today.

You can see that clean, crisp approach in the fonts and colors on these pages; in a more consistent “brand” across our campus, website, and publications; and, most noticeably, in our renewed seal (see facing page and an important note below about our “historical seal”).

These changes will not all take place at once, but over the course of this academic year, we will fulfill this particular step of our evolution — this step in “who we want to become”

as a school serving our students and society.

And these changes are important; they signal a sense of clarity and assurance that we want all students, families, alumni, and friends of the school to proudly own — and wear!

They illustrate — and integrate in design — our past, our present, and our future. They do for our school what we hope to do for our students: recognize, inspire, support, and empower.

Those original founders were called “subscribers.” To play with the Latin origins of that word, they underwrote the school they envisioned -- literally signing on the bottom line of the vision for Lawrence Academy.

We are eager to have all friends of our academy today, ALL of you, subscribe to our foundation, our identity, our mission, our very special educational place in the world with the same sense of purpose and pride.

OUR FOUNDATION 1793 We began with a

after changing our name to recognize the Lawrence Family. Three family members were in the school’s first class, and Amos and William Lawrence were the first major donors. This seal also introduced the school’s current motto, Omnibus Lucet (The Light Shines for All).

On our historical seal, from our brand guidelines: “The Historical Seal with lamp will remain in use for official, approved purposes through the Office of the Head of School. Examples include diplomas and award recognitions for special, ceremonial, and historical functions. The historical seal remains as an elevated mark, as is common practice for many institutions with a deep history. It will remain on display in any place it currently exists as a feature of campus architecture.”

2 LAWRENCE ACADEMY FALL 2025

OUR RENEWED SEAL Lawrence Academy has evolved over the four centuries it has spanned (that’s 1700s, 1800s, 1900s, and 2000s). The school seal has evolved with it. The bill signed by the state legislature, establishing Lawrence Academy formally on Sept. 8, 1793, reads, “Be it further enacted, that the Trustees of the said academy may have one common seal, which they may change at pleasure.”

It is a pleasure, then, to introduce our renewed seal, with some explanatory notes surrounding it:

The Motto:

essential part of who we are. Our origins are deep, dignified, and meaningful. We strive to maintain a strong connection stretching from past to present to future.

The school respects and embraces its origins but speaks the language of today — now even more visible, approachable, and pronounceable.

The Lamp, Belt, and Banner: These were lovely 19th-century flourishes, and they are maintained in the historical seal. They have evolved into a cleaner look for today.

Along with our “common seal,” we have refreshed many elements of our “visual identity,” evident throughout this journal and on campus. These changes are intended to reinforce Lawrence Academy’s core identity as a place proudly recognizable to past, current, and future families.

TEACHER, COACH, COLLEAGUE, NEIGHBOR, FRIEND IN LOVING MEMORY OF KEVIN WIERCINSKI P’21, ’23, ’26

Just before the start of this school year, the Lawrence Academy family experienced a deep loss: Kevin Wiercinski passed away on Aug. 14, after a courageous battle with cancer. Our hearts continue to be with those closest to him,

Kevin began his career at Lawrence Academy in 1997, as a fresh-faced faculty member willing to do anything to help the students and the school. Given his multiple talents, his influence immediately took and grew.

Of all of his accomplishments and capabilities, Kevin’s greatest strength was as a community and family member.

He became a wise and affable elder in the “LA family.”

Casually and very affectionately called “Kev” or “Ski” by many generations and populations, Kevin was above all things familiar — the type of person you feel close to right away.

COMMENCEMENT 2025

BY JOE SHEPPARD P’93, ‘94

“Now you, the Class of 2025, you carry our mission and our motto, each of you a rising force, a light ready to shine brighter … May you brighten the world around you as you move onward!”

With these words, an exuberant Head of School Dan Scheibe welcomed 106 soon-to-be alumni of Lawrence Academy to their graduation on a lovely Friday morning last May 30. He then paused to recognize “two happy occasions beyond graduation”: the birth, at 1:30 a.m. that morning, of Thea Rose Giddings to faculty member Emily Giddings and her

husband, Ian, and the retirement of beloved dance teacher Brian Feigenbaum after 32 years of service. The cheering was long and heartfelt.

Senior Cabinet President Boden Belanger introduced Kimberly S. Budd P’22, chief justice of the Massachusetts Supreme Court, who summed up her message with a quote from Maya Angelou: “You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats so that you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it.”

“YOU MAY ENCOUNTER MANY DEFEATS, BUT YOU MUST NOT BE DEFEATED.”

FACULTY PROFILE MIA RITTER ONE STEP AT A TIME: MIA RITTER’S JOURNEY TO LAWRENCE ACADEMY

BY CAITLIN O’BRIEN P ’26

Associate Director of College Counseling and Testing Coordinator Mia Ritter’s journey to Lawrence Academy is a story of curiosity, purpose, and a deep commitment to helping students find their place in the world. It begins in New York City, where she grew up and attended the Brearley School, a private girls’ school, for elementary, middle, and high school. As she began looking at colleges, Mia found herself fascinated by the admissions process.

She loved visiting campuses, especially during a

tour guide coordinator, social media manager, and regional recruiter for areas including Brooklyn, New Jersey, Tennessee, Georgia, northern California, and the Pacific Northwest. Each fall, she traveled extensively and reviewed around 600 applications. This experience clarified her calling: She wanted to work with students earlier in their journeys and help them discover their best-fit colleges before the application process even began. To round out her skills, Mia earned a master’s degree in adolescent counseling from Harvard University.

ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), — also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. Since then, Courtney and her family have been committed to turning their grief into action by raising funds and awareness through ALS1, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting ALS research and patient care.

In November 2024, Courtney suggested her family organize a fundraising hockey tournament, and by February, they were ready to make it happen. The first Shifstrong 3v3 Hockey Tournament took place at St. Mark’s School in Southborough.

Recruitment was grassroots and community-driven: Courtney and her brother, Charlie, reached out to their personal networks and fielded 10 girls’ teams and four boys’ teams. The tournament ran smoothly and was a fundraising success: The Shifrins raised $6,500, surpassing their original goal of $5,000.

For its second year, the Shifstrong tournament is moving to Lawrence Academy and aiming even higher: a $10,000 fundraising goal and a goal of fielding 16 teams. The enthusiasm from last year’s players and spectators is promising, and Courtney and her family are confident they will meet both goals.

“Seeing how many people loved it last year, we know we’ll have incredible numbers next year,” Courtney says.

This tournament isn’t only about hockey — it’s about honoring a legacy, supporting families affected by ALS, and showing what a determined community can do.

MAKING LA GREENER A GROUP EFFORT

BY ANNE O’CONNOR ’78

Lawrence Academy is moving toward a greener future. Plans to use alternative energy sources and increase sustainability will save money in the long run, set an example, and get students involved in promoting responsible stewardship of the land.

provide guidance on the best way forward.

The project is possible thanks to a $400,000 Metta Charitable Foundation grant from Peter and Vicky Bauer P’25 and Megan Bauer ’25. “Ideally, Lawrence Academy’s solar example can inspire others to invest in solar at home and carry advocacy for renewable energy into their communities,” the Bauers say.

Additionally, energy audits are underway across campus, and more efficient heating options for the Gray Building, the Schoolhouse, and LA South are under consideration. The school will actively engage students in supporting campus sustainability efforts by asking them what they think will provide the maximum environmental benefit for future generations of Lawrence Academy students.

John Chiungos ’67

A donation from alumnus John Chiungos ’67, a commercial construction expert, got the effort underway. Back in 2022, he noticed that LA was replacing things like boilers as needed but did not have an overarching plan to increase sustainability.

“We were kicking the ball down the road,” Chiungos says.

Starting in the 2026-2027 school year, students in the high-level Environmental Science class will be given a projected $25,000 annual budget for a sustainability-focused project. They will hear from outside experts and research the environmental, financial, and educational components of their proposed plan.

Peter, Megan ’25, and Vicky Bauer

Student involvement may also extend into extracurricular activities, afternoon programs, and Winterim. The Edward E. Ford Foundation has pledged a grant of $100,000 to support the integration of student involvement in these initiatives.

The entirety of this grant will be awarded once the greater LA community donates $100,000 prior to June 2026.

Now, the school is planning a solar array with a lifespan of 25-40 years that is projected to break even within 13 years.

Those in charge of the project have met with two vendors to gather information on a school-owned solar power system and discuss options for either roof or ground installation, and a task force will

STUDENT SPOTLIGHT BEHIND THE SCENES IN THE ARTS, ACADEMICS, AND ATHLETICS AT LA FROM SEA TO SKY: A SCIENCE SHOWCASE

BY KATE ENGSTROM P’29

One evening in May, a group of juniors and seniors gathered in MacNeil Lounge to share in-depth research with the community. Science teacher Steve Engstrom had hosted showcases of his Honors Marine Science students’ work twice before, but this time, David Strasburger’s Honors Research in Astronomy students joined in.

The Sea to Sky Science Poster Session was the culmination of term-long projects in both classes. Students chose topics they found meaningful and engaged in research that reflected how science is done outside of the classroom.

Some worked with raw data, while others reviewed current studies related to their topics. “It was exciting to see my students working through the challenging aspects of authentic science,” Steve says, “from the initial stage of choosing a topic to doing a literature review, analyzing data, putting it together in a visual format, and finally editing their work to make it as effective as possible in communicating their findings.”

Honors Marine Science students Kian Rasty ’26 and Tessa Wise ’26 studied polar bear movement in the warming Arctic and the effects of noise pollution on whale migration, respectively. In addition to seeing growth in their planning, research, and presentation skills, both students agreed that presenting their posters to teachers, classmates, and families was the most memorable part of the experience. “I’ve never done anything like that before,” Tessa says, “and while I was scared at first, it was fun to teach people about my topic and also learn about other students’ topics.”

Both Kian and Tessa were glad to help spread awareness about their respective issues, as well. “This research is simply just one example of what’s happening on a bigger, global scale with climate change,” Kian says. “Even though this project only focused on polar bears and Arctic Sea ice, it reflects a much larger pattern for what is happening and what could happen in the future to ecosystems all around the earth.”

Alex Luening ’25, one of the students who participated from David’s class, reports that his research experiences led to opportunities after graduation. He spent the summer working as a research assistant at the University of Missouri, and his work there may be published in scientific papers. “It opened up a path for my future I didn’t know was a possibility,” Alex says of both his LA research and his work over the summer, “and I’m excited about where it might take me.”

Steve and David’s students completed their classes with not only refined scientific study skills, but also a new way of seeing their world. Thanks to the poster session, the broader LA community learned from them and celebrated their accomplishments, from sea to sky, as well.

HARPER DONNEL ’27 AND MAX MCCUSKER ’27 TAKE FULL ADVANTAGE OF L AWRENCE ACADEMY’S ARTS PROGRAM

BY CAITLIN O’BRIEN P’26

Harper Donnel ’27 is on Lawrence Academy’s varsity soccer and track and field teams, plays cello in the Groton Hill Sinfonia Concert Orchestra, takes private music lessons at Groton Hill, and has played in the pit orchestra for LA productions. The Colorado native is grateful for opportunities to stay committed to playing the cello while pursuing athletics.

“LA made it clear that I would be able to fit everything into my schedule while being consistently supported along the way by my teachers,” Harper says. “I work very hard to manage my schedule at LA, but I have rarely felt overwhelmed, and whenever I have, my teachers and coaches have been very understanding and helped me stay on track.”

Last school year, Harper played Noah Kahan’s “Call Your Mom” on the cello for the school talent show. “During the performance, my hands were shaking, but when I finished, the applause was even louder than when I was walking on,” she remembers. “I didn’t feel judged for putting myself out there, and I think that overall energy of support best defines LA.”

“I didn’t feel judged for putting myself out there, and I think that overall energy of support best defines LA.” - Harper Donnel

Max McCusker ’27, a day student from Groton, takes dance and theater as sports, as well as weekly instrument lessons, biweekly music theory lessons, and an ensemble class at Groton Hill Music Center. He is also looking forward to the winter musical, which will be produced this year with the Groton School theater department while Lawrence Academy’s facilities are being renovated.

Many things drew Max to LA — the beauty of campus, the student support, the freedom to pursue academic interests — but, he says, “Lawrence Academy’s relationship with Groton Hill Music is a total game-changer for young musicians.” The school provides transportation to and from Groton Hill and safe places for instrument storage.

Max values his afternoon activities after long days of classes.

“It is always refreshing to concentrate on the arts with people who share the same interests,” he says.

“Lawrence Academy isn’t the kind of private school where you just study all the time; it’s the kind where self-discovery is encouraged and students are willing to leave their comfort zone.”

VARSIT Y BASEBALL WINS ISL CHAMPIONSHIP

BY CHRIS MARGRAF P’24, ’27

Lawrence Academy’s varsity baseball team capped off a remarkable 2025 season by winning the ISL championship, defeating Belmont Hill in a gritty 5–3 comeback victory in the tournament final. The title is LA’s second league championship in four years and was a redemption for the team, which fell just short of the title in 2024 with a 2–0 loss to St. Sebastian’s.

With an overall record of 14–5 (11–3 ISL), the Spartans earned a #6 New England Baseball Journal ranking and overcame weather disruptions, rescheduled games, and adversity at the plate to rise above the noise and pressure. Playing under the motto “flying under the cover of darkness,” they stayed humble and focused, prioritizing a team-first mentality and resilience, which paid off in tight playoff victories against Tabor (4–2), St. Mark’s (3–2), and, finally, Belmont Hill. Each win required come-from-behind grit, headlined by dominant pitching from Logan Forgie ’26 and John Paone ’25, a timely relief appearance by Sam Campbell ’25, and clutch hitting from Boden Belanger ’25, Laz Giardina ’25, and John.

Jordan Henriquez ’25, and John (co-ISL MVP and Boston Globe All-Scholastic) anchored the roster of 25 players — every one of whom contributed — and all four received postseason ISL honors alongside Logan, the co-ISL Pitcher of the Year. The team’s 0.252 batting average and 1.813 ERA underscored their identity: pitching, defense, and perseverance. Individual moments — for example, Noah Halpern ’25’s walk-off bat toss against St. George’s and Jack Janowsky ’25’s selfless utility play — illustrated the group’s depth and camaraderie.

For the seniors, who bookended their careers with championships, the journey from 2022 to 2025 reflected their growth, belief, and bond. As John noted, “Second chances aren’t guaranteed” — but this team made theirs count, finishing the mission and leaving a legacy of toughness, joy, and unity.

“Playing under the motto ‘flying under the cover of darkness,’ they stayed humble and focused, prioritizing a team-first mentality and resilience.”

SPARTANS SOFTBALL DELIVERS A SEASON TO REMEMBER

BY CAITLIN O’BRIEN P’26

Lawrence Academy’s varsity softball team pulled off an incredible comeback in 2025, earning a spot in NEPSAC’s Big East Tournament — a milestone the program hadn’t reached in years. After finishing 1–13 last season, the Spartans flipped the script with an impressive 8–5 record, thanks to standout performances, strong leadership, and a team-first mindset.

At the heart of the turnaround was pitcher Viv Belanger ’27.

With a 2.625 ERA and a .429 batting average, she helped set the tone for the team’s success. Preslie Boo ’26 also made her mark, leading the offense with a .458 batting average. Together, Viv and Preslie showcased the depth and talent that made LA one of the ISL’s most competitive teams this year.

Five four-year seniors, Ava Glab '25, Merina Peabody '25, Lauren Sopp '25, Izzy Prudente '25, and Grace Walsh '25 played a huge role in shaping the team’s culture by leading offseason workouts, mentoring younger players, and fostering a spirit of unity. “The leadership of our seniors set a powerful example,” says Head Coach Abby Boucher-Lavigne.

“They consistently put the team first, and that made a difference both on and off the field.”

That sense of togetherness was felt across the roster.

Emma Remis ’26 reflects, “We had a few adjustments this

season — new teammates, new positions — but everything clicked.” Viv adds. “Our relationships helped us build momentum. We were always having fun and genuinely enjoying each other’s company.”

Coach Boucher-Lavigne capitalized on each player’s skills and talents and utilized designated hitters and pinch runners. “Instead of using just nine players in the field and at bat, we incorporated a more sophisticated offensive strategy,” she explains.

While the Spartans didn’t take home the title, their season was defined by grit, growth, and joy. For the seniors, it was a meaningful sendoff, and they leave behind a legacy that will continue to shape the program. “We couldn’t imagine a better way for this incredible team to wrap up such a memorable season,” Coach Boucher-Lavigne says. “Keep an eye on us in 2026, too. It’s a whole new era!”

“The leadership of our five dedicated seniors set a powerful example. They consistently put the team first, and that selfless attitude made a difference both on and off the field.”

As Lawrence’s first full-time dance teacher, Brian brought dance from the wings into the spotlight, building a program that sent LA’s dance troupe to the renowned Edinburgh Fringe Festival six times. Brian himself has performed in the work of several Lawrence alumni who have gone on to professional careers in dance.

about his students by watching the way they move — or don’t move. “When a young person, or any person, moves, you can see which movements they’re comfortable with and which they’re not,” he says. “In the case of most newcomers, you can see the level of discomfort is on a spectrum, because they’re not comfortable doing anything. They’re not even comfortable standing still, which is something that I learned the hard way over the years.”

Early in his Lawrence career, Brian gave his students writing assignments as a way to get to know them better.

As he recalls, the writing “would give me something tangible that I could write about in comments. But I realized that I knew a lot more about the kids through observing them move! … I found that the body language of a person learning dance or doing the kind of movement that I taught was

He admits to having any number of books in his head, but above all, he’ll continue to dance and to teach others to dance. “One of the things I’m entertaining is to keep dancing,“ Brian says.” But I want to work with adults more, and I want to work with men. It’s not that I don’t adore women — I love women. Most of the people I’ve worked with in professional dance have been women. But I feel like men could use spaces that I might be able to provide.”

MEET TONY GUGLIETTI ’94 “LA, and Brian in particular, was hugely instrumental in me having a career in dance,” says Tony Guglietti ’94. “Two experiences opened my eyes to the world of dance. I did a dance Winterim my first year, which showed me what dancing every day could be like. My senior year, I did an independent study (called LA II at the time) in which I created my own curriculum centered around dance. That program prepared me to major in dance in college.”

Coincidentally, Tony’s senior year was Brian Feigenbaum’s first at Lawrence. “He helped me craft my program and also helped guide me in creating the solo I needed for college auditions,” Tony says.

Tony eventually moved back home after graduating from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, at which time the Lunenburg native began working professionally with Brian, from whom he derived much of his teaching philosophy. “I’ve always learned best by doing, rather than by listening or writing,” Tony explains. “So, my teaching philosophy is rooted in what I always needed: movement.

In my class, we learn less by talking and more by doing — by getting active right from the start and uncovering/ discovering things about ourselves, each other, and our Tony and Brian dance together in one of Brian’s final performances for LA.

RETIRING FROM LA TAKING JOY IN SEEING STUDENTS GROW: LISA FEI P’12, RN, BSN

BY ANNE O’CONNOR ’78

When Lisa Fei came to Lawrence Academy as a per diem nurse in 2007, she fell in love with working with students.

Seeing the underclassmen transform into young adults proved to her that some of the greatest challenges come with great rewards.

At times a surrogate parent to her patients, Lisa gave students options and tried to steer them in the right direction as they made decisions. She urged them not to be afraid of making mistakes, as they grow from doing so, and advised them to “think through the consequences and be safe.”

Lisa was a registered nurse with an associate’s degree when she arrived at LA, but after serving as the Health Center’s interim director, she wanted to continue her education.

During her time on campus, Lisa earned a bachelor’s degree in nursing from Fitchburg State University.

Students’ needs and required medical support increased during Lisa’s 18 years at LA. Changes in technology and the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic led to a need for more mental health resources and a greater focus on the issues that come with adjusting to life away from home. Heath Center staffing increased in response and LA’s nurses and physician now have an on-call system in place for overnights and weekends, when the Health Center is closed.

Lisa says receiving LA’s Peabody Memorial Award in 2023 was “a wonderful, wonderful point” in her career. Hearing students speak on her behalf at the school’s annual Founders’ Day ceremony moved her.

Now that she is retired, Lisa and her husband live in South Carolina, close to family.

ALWAYS THERE TO HELP: PAUL BEAUCHAMP GP’29

BY KATE ENGSTROM P’29

Before entering the realm of technology, Paul Beauchamp GP ’29 wore many hats — from Maytag repairman to small business owner. These experiences, and his degree in electrical engineering, prepared him well for the problem-solving and detail-oriented work inherent to this field, and gave him personal touch that is essential in a school setting.

Paul worked at Groton School for 15 years before coming to LA as an IT support technician in 2016; over the next decade he came to appreciate what he describes as “a wonderful and welcoming community environment.” Paul’s colleague Austin Bradstreet P’26, ‘28 describes him as “technically brilliant, self-made, reliable, and selfless individual” whose attitude is “whatever you need me to do, I’m here to help.” Paul was able to address everything from printers to wireless connections, helping his team support the school in countless ways.

The faculty and staff at LA could not be more grateful for the many tasks, big and small, that Paul accomplished while he was here, and they will remember him best for the smile and kindness with which he completed them.

A RELIABLE AND STEADY PRESENCE: JOE GREGOIRE

BY CAITLIN O’BRIEN, P’26

When Joe Gregoire joined the Lawrence Academy buildings and grounds team in 2007, the facilities looked a bit different than they do now. LA South was still the Groton Country Day School; the property on Old Ayer Road now owned by LA was a sheep farm; and only four of the eight faculty residences in “the neighborhood” were complete.

As LA’s acreage and number of buildings increased during Joe’s 18 years at LA, his commitment to their care and upkeep remained steadfast. On any given day, you could find Joe on a ladder in the Schoolhouse, hanging banners; fixing doors and locks across campus; setting up tables and chairs for an event; and making building repairs. His determination, reliable and steady presence, and willingness to help wherever needed will be missed.

In retirement, Joe plans on enjoying his home in Ashby, woodworking, traveling, and spending time with his family.

After he graduated with distinction from Worcester Polytechnic Institute in 1914 with a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, he became a physics instructor at Tsinghua College in Peking. Dr. Mei became president of the school in 1931, and under his leadership, Tsinghua grew from an exam preparation school to a leading university in China.

After doing her fair share of coffee and food runs, Bitsy was one of two general production interns (out of fifteen) selected to serve as master book intern. In that role, she edited and prepared scripts for SNL’s comedians, often under pressure. The work was fast-paced and demanding, and she learned to think on her feet and collaborate effectively.

Because of the timing of her internship, Bitsy was involved in the production of SNL’s 50th anniversary special. A one-on-one conversation with Rosebud Baker, a writer for the show’s “Weekend Update” segments, was another memorable moment of Bitsy’s four-month internship. She was touched by Baker’s willingness to help interns succeed after their time with SNL and now boasts Baker as an Instagram follower. “It was awesome to feel like they’re putting us on the right path to our career after this,” Bitsy says.

Bitsy credits her experiences with LA’s Honors Theater program as a significant part of her success. “That time gave me a certain amount of confidence in my ability to enter into the creative space that I don’t think I ever would have had without having been in that program,” she says.

“My One-Act showed me that was what I wanted to do in life.”

“LA always allowed me the freedom of expression that has become the focal point of my career now,” she adds.

Scheibe led a presentation on the state of the school and a remembrance ceremony in the memorial garden. Phil Hersh ’64 was honored with the Robert Heberton Terrell Award for Distinction in Alumni Achievement.

A reunion dinner and the presentation of alumni awards under the tent capped off the weekend, and alumni ate and celebrated well into the evening.

On Friday evening, members of the Class of 1975, along with other golden alumni and their guests, enjoyed each other’s company as they celebrated their 50th reunion at the Groton Inn. Nearly 40 guests were in attendance.

Many more alumni joined the festivities on Saturday, which began with the annual Tom Warner ’75 Memorial 5K Walk/Run and an aerobic workout led by Liz Carroll ’00. The dedication of the Frigoletto Family Health Center, the Community Commons groundbreaking ceremony, and student-led campus tours followed throughout the day.

During lunch on the Quad, Brian received the Alumni Faculty Appreciation Award. After lunch, Head of School Dan

PHIL HERSH ’64 HONORED WITH FIRST TERRELL AWARD

BY JOE SHEPPARD P’93, ‘94

A highlight of May’s Reunion was the presentation of the first Robert Heberton Terrell Award for Distinction in Alumni Achievement. The recipient was Phil Hersh ’64, one of the most honored sports journalists of our time.

During a career spanning more than a half-century, Phil, a 1968 Yale graduate, was an Olympic sportswriter for the Chicago Tribune for more than 30 years before becoming a writer for the NBC Sports website. In addition to covering 20 Olympics, he has written about countless other world athletic championships between 1980 and 2025.

Phil is a four-time Pulitzer Prize nominee and has won many other awards and honors for sports journalism. A German publication, SportIntern, ranked him among the 100 most influential people in international sport 15 times.

The Terrell Award is named in honor of Robert Heberton Terrell, 1880, who was Harvard’s third Black graduate, valedictorian at Howard University’s law school, and the first Black federal judge in the United States. Judge Terrell “modeled a life of bold distinction, conviction, and achievement across many fields,” according to the award description. “The Terrell Award recognizes an alumnus or alumna who has attained high distinction in arts, letters, profession, and/or life and career achievement. It is the intention of this award to recognize comparable levels of achievement that can inspire both past and future graduates of Lawrence Academy and serve as an example of an educational mission fulfilled through a life well-lived.”

In accepting the award, Phil warmly acknowledged that his four years at Lawrence provided him the foundation for a sixty-year career. “All that started here for me, in the classrooms and in working for the school newspaper, The Elms,” he said, concluding his acceptance speech. “That 61 years after graduation the school has recognized my work and career as worthy of this award makes me even more aware of the role Lawrence Academy played in my life. Thank you.”

Speaking of athletic accomplishments, I’m curious if LA still does the class trip to Mount Monadnock? And, in all these years, has anyone beaten the time of Robert Oggelvie’s and my ascent of the two-mile hike up the White Dot Trail — parking lot to summit in 22 minutes?

1972 Jim Reynolds ’72 sent this note: “On June 25, a few members of the Class of ’72 met in front of the LA Rotunda in the evening and went to Gibbet Hill Grill for dinner. We had fun reminiscing about our time at LA, which were years of tremendous transition. Meals were informal and buffet style, versus meals served by students, and we had women on campus as seniors, and cars for the first time. A good time was had by all.

“We were at LA during the transition from Arthur Ferguson, our freshman headmaster, to Ben Williams from there on. We were a fun, rather unruly bunch, but we have remained good friends with these and other classmates, well beyond those pictured here.”

Richard Johnson ’74 writes: “In the midst of my 44th year as curator of the Sports Museum, I’m writing the lyrics to a musical I’ve entitled City of Champions. In the spirit of Tom Lehrer and Weird Al Yankovic, I’ve twisted popular tunes into ditties such as “Luck Be a Brady Tonight,” etc. I remain in constant contact with classmates and my beloved cross-country teammates.”

As we reminisced about those unforgettable days back in 1985, it was a beautiful reminder of our early days just starting out.

It’s a bond we have that links us together. From the stories of our youthful adventures to the reflections on how far we’ve come, every moment felt like a celebration of who we were and who we’ve become (oops — did not mean to rhyme).

IN MEMORIAM John D. Ferguson ’53 passed away peacefully on July 11, 2025, at home, surrounded by his family. He was 91. A five-sport athlete at Lawrence, he played golf, football, and soccer; captained the basketball team; and achieved All-American Honorable Mention in lacrosse.

Upon his graduation from LA, John attended the University of New Hampshire, playing varsity center on the basketball team for all four years and again achieving All-American Honorable Mention in lacrosse. At graduation, he was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the United States Air Force and was trained as a radar weapons controller.

John reminisced that the best part of attending UNH was meeting the love of his life, Marjorie. They married and started their wonderful adventures together that spanned 68 years.

After his time in the Air Force, John and his family moved to Cape Cod, where he worked for the New York Life Insurance Company for a time before owning and operating several local businesses: the Lock n’ Oar Restaurant in Centerville, Mass.; the first florist shop in Mashpee, Forget-Me-Not-Florist; Clancy’s Pub in Pocasset, Mass.; Johnny Junque Antiques; and Bee and Thistle Catering. He was a founding member of the Mashpee Concert Committee and enjoyed the summer concerts under the tent. He loved garage sales, auctions, and flea markets, always looking for the next “find of the day.”

John is survived by his wife, Marjorie, as well as by three children, six grandchildren, and several great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents and a son, Mark Foss Ferguson.

Barry Lawson ’60, 82, died March 12, 2025, at his home in Peacham, Vt., attended by his wife Lynne and their longtime friend, Dart Thalman. Barry was known by everyone for his warmth, friendliness, kindness, generosity, and civic responsibility. He loved to bring a smile to people and valued harmony in personal relationships and situations. He loved all kinds of music, and he loved his dogs.

After graduating from Dartmouth College in 1964, Barry earned a master’s degree in regional planning and a Ph.D. in natural resources economics from Cornell University in 1971. While at Cornell, he had a life-changing experience working as a teacher/planner for two years in Yugoslavia under the auspices of the Ford Foundation.

Barry was married to Donna Dupee from 1964 to 1982. They adopted a beloved daughter, Kirsten Liane Lawson, now known as Miles.

Miles has a son, Barry’s grandson, Emory William Lawson-Wilder.

Miles and Emory live in Santa Fe, N.M. In 1983, Barry married Lynne Newman, with whom he had a long and close marriage. In 1995, they moved to Peacham, Vt., where Barry discovered the joy and value of community. He worked happily as a volunteer for numerous local organizations from the Peacham Farmers Market to Aging Well in Peacham (a group he started) to the Peacham Congregational Church, where he most recently

worked diligently on planning an upcoming capital campaign. He and Lynne were instrumental in starting the Peacham Café.

Christopher Welch ’73 of North Andover, Mass., died on June 27, 2025, at the age of 70, leaving behind a legacy of “love, laughter, and truly excellent salads.” Chris earned a degree in marketing from Stonehill College after graduating from Lawrence but later returned to his first love, design, earning a certificate in store planning and design from the Rhode Island School of Design while working full time. He worked as a store planning manager at BJ’s Wholesale Club until his retirement.

Chris was a gardener and a potter, and he loved long walks in a bird sanctuary and playing golf with a favorite cousin. He was, above all, kind — the type of person who showed up, listened, remembered the little things, and told great stories. His shockingly booming laugh was so genuine it often made others laugh, too.

Chris is survived by his wife of 40 years, Joan; his daughter, Sarah; his brother, Bruce; and many nieces, nephews, and cousins. He was predeceased by his brother, Alexander “Sandy."

Winthrop “Chip” Sheedy Gray ’79 passed away on June 27, 2023, after a long illness. He was born in Biddeford, Maine, grew up in Groton, and during his adult life lived in southern Maine.

Chip is survived by his siblings, Louise Ann Spiczka ’73, Eugene Ralph Gray Jr. ’75, and Peter Lawrence Gray ’77, as well as several nieces and nephews.

Brendan John Joyce ’14 died with his family by his side on Tuesday, March 18, 2025. His unexpected illness came after having enjoyed a perfect weekend with his parents, brothers, sisters-in-law, nephew, and nieces at their family home in Naples, Fla. A 2018 graduate of Fairfield University, Brendan lived in South Boston, where he began his career in the cyber security industry. Brendan enjoyed golfing, fishing, hockey, and all of his pets. His “happy place” was port side on The Buoys are Back, boating in Cape Cod Bay. Brendan’s greatest joy was being an uncle to Jack, Faye, and Lane. Affectionately known as “Dino,” Brendan needed little, but his gifts were plentiful.

He was a deeply loyal and genuine man, always caring and sensitive to the needs of others.

Brendan leaves his loving parents, Mark and Trish; his two best buddies and favorite couples, Mark (Gemma) and Christopher (Courtney). He loved dearly his nephew, Jack, and nieces, Faye and Lane. Brendan was the adored grandson of Charles and Ann Sanders of North Carolina and the late Stephen and Catherine Joyce. He was a treasured nephew to 15 aunts and uncles, and he was admired and loved by 24 cousins and numerous friends.

ANNUAL GIVING REPORT 2024-2025

CAPITAL CAMPAIGN UPDATE SUCCESS: A CAMPAIGN FOR LA BECOMES A CASE FOR LA

BY DAN SCHEIBE P’23

It has been a tremendous year for the “Shine Brighter” Capital Campaign. When we complete our campaign, we will have a great deal of success to report covering improvements to virtually every component of campus and school life: student experience, faculty support, Winterim, the highly visible Community Commons, and the actual shape and scope of the campus itself. The reveals will all happen within the next year or so, but we already know the message that will come with the outcome: We are in a great place.

Beyond the capital projects and endowment-building, though, the true success of this campaign will be measured by our increased confidence and pride in our identity — in who we have been, who we are, and who we are becoming. The source of strength in this campaign can be found in the school’s origins: Our mission has been to “Shine Brighter” since the first words imagining Lawrence Academy were written in the town of Groton on March 26, 1792. Those original “subscribers” to the school, 47 of them (48 if you include the largest subscriber, the Town of Groton itself), provided the inspiration and foundation that today’s subscribers — listed in the following pages — are responding to and supporting in kind.

Generosity takes many forms, and the generosity of donors to our campaign has been moving and gratifying. Generosity of vision — the conviction that we are here to make life better for future generations — is the ultimate act of generosity.

We celebrate that now, and we will celebrate that even more fully in the coming year and coming years. As those founders said, “The rising generation has GROUNDBREAKING CEREMONY ever been considered by the wise and good as an object worthy of the most serious attention.” We thank both those founding subscribers and our present donors for the serious attention that has led to such profound support — and for this case for Lawrence Academy that transcends a campaign and becomes a case for what a school can do for the rising generation.

Naming opportunities ranging between $2,500 and $1M are available. Contact Beth Crutcher at bcrutcher@lacademy.edu

2024-2025 RECOGNITION AWARDS Each year, Lawrence Academy recognizes outstanding students, alumni, faculty, and staff for their contributions to the school, the local community, and the global community. This year, these awards were proudly presented to the following recipients:

you to take responsibility for who you want to become” is incredibly relatable to me. I give to LA because my experiences and education over my four years at LA were life-changing in truly teaching me the importance of taking responsibility for who I want to become and the discipline to stay the course and follow my own path. As important are the lifelong friendships I made and the memories I cherish. Supporting and trusting the strong leadership and stewardship of our head of school, Dan Scheibe, our board chair, Karen Mitchell Brandvold ‘82; P’16, ‘17 and the Board of Trustees so they can bring visions to reality for students is also critical to my decision to give.

WHY I GIVE JACLYN MULLAVEY ADDORIO ’00 Giving back to the LA community is important.

As an alumna, it allows me to help protect and improve a place that has had a profound and lasting impact on me as both a student and person. I give to support the people, places, and programs that make Lawrence special.

I fondly remember beloved faculty members, a beautiful dance studio, top-notch athletic facilities, and valuable Winterim experiences.

Looking ahead, I am excited to support the new Community Commons project that will allow students and faculty to come together in a shared space to let the light shine for all.

LIFELONG RELATIONSHIP LED TO BEQUEST: JOHN LEVINE ’70 When John Levine ’70 arrived at Lawrence Academy from Hawaii in January 1969, he was about to experience his first winter.

His family was in the process of moving to Boston and wouldn’t arrive for another month. He felt lost, homesick, and alone.

John was assigned to Waters House, about as far from the rest of the school as possible. But slowly and steadily, the Lawrence community drew him in. Fifty-five years later, now living in Los Angeles, he still keeps in touch with many of his classmates.

“My time at Lawrence was special,” John says. “For a kid from the middle of the Pacific Ocean, the experience was truly life-changing. But it wasn’t the experience that made Lawrence so memorable, it was the people: my classmates, who welcomed me into bull sessions in their dorm rooms and who showed me Boston (the big city!), and the teachers, who actually cared about me and who did their best to make me a student and a proper Lawrencian Gentleman.

“I also learned squash! And became a soccer goalie! And was probably the worst catcher Mr. Jeffers’ baseball team had ever seen!” he adds. “And I still treasure every moment of it.”

John continued his education at the University of California, Berkeley. Armed with a B.A. in history, he moved back to Honolulu, where his mother had returned to after the death of his father. Through sports — and his best Lawrencian manners — John made connections that landed him a job at IBM and a career in information technology that included stops with Epson America, Wells Fargo Bank, the Gillette Company, and Northrop Grumman.

Now retired, John and his wife, Junie Kikuchi, live in Santa Monica, Calif. As part of their estate-planning process, they have decided to make a generous bequest to Lawrence. “It was only a year and a half,” John says, “but it was an important time in my life, and Lawrence made a strong impression. I’d like to share that with future generations of Lawrencian men and women!”
