Board of Trustees 2017-18 Karen Unger, Chair Sarah Bascom Monesia Brown Chris Diamantis Chris Dudley Kiki Dunton Meredith Hunter Hank Hutchinson
Greetings Maclay Family,
Where else in Tallahassee can you find a pathway to college as robust, a college
team who is experienced and refined enough to help each student find their perfect fit school? Where else in Tallahassee can you find a Pk-12 school where you become a part of an alumni family with a global network of supportive connections for every transition in your life? Where else in Tallahassee can you find a tailored curriculum where each student can find, explore, and refine their passions, talents, and inherent abilities with invested faculty and staff? Where else in Tallahassee can students be surrounded by others with the highest aspirations in the region? Surrounded by those who, without fail, are shooting for a higher target. This school, our school, is the place where families have found and continue to find all of these important parts of a child’s educational and developmental journey. All of us want our students to have an edge, to enhance their vision to see opportunities and responsibilities that others do not see. We take that charge very seriously and work hard to engineer the individual evolutions our students make. We study and are purposeful about building confidence, building comfort with collaboration and confrontation. These and many other skills are well developed in our graduate’s tool belts. We are a school on the move and we promise to keep providing the best college preparatory educational experience in Tallahassee. To our alumni, we hope to see you back on campus soon. To our families, we thank you for your confidence and trust. To our students, keep on pushing. To those not yet with us, we welcome you to take a look at the Maclay Experience.
See you all soon, Go Marauders! James

Grades 1st through 12th, along with faculty, and alumni gathered together in the Webster Center to commence the 2017-2018 school year. The senior class walked down the red carpet escorting 1st and 2nd graders. Student Council President Daniel Sweeney, Middle School Student Council President Hunter Woodruff, and Senior Class President Jared Pichard each spoke. Mr. Milford welcomed many guests who were in attendance including six former board chairs, numerous past board members, and retired faculty who attended a Chairman’s Reception in the library before the Convocation. It was the first time many of them had been back to campus in a very long time including Mrs. Vena Roberts, Maclay’s first Kindergarten teacher who came to take part in this special day. The official start of school was represented by the ringing of the bell which was done by the longest tenured employee at Maclay, Mrs. Jennifer Corzine. To kick-off the school spirit for the year, MPO hosted its community event, the Fall Fling, on August 26 before the first home football game. The cheerleaders performed, games were played, and food from food trucks was served. It was a fun time for all involved. Thanks MPO for hosting!
Senior Class President Jared Pichard delivered a welcome address.

FOUNDERS DAY
Maclay School celebrated Founders Day on Thursday, November 9th under “The Oak Tree” on campus. The program officially kicked off the 50th Anniversary of Maclay School which opened on September 8, 1968. Nancy Crane, a member of the first Board of Trustees, and Anne Lee Heaton, wife of the first Board Chairman Ryals Lee were in attendance along with retired long-time headmaster Bill Jablon and Vena Roberts who started the Kindergarten program. The event started with the Lower School Student Council bringing in the flags and 8th grader Julian White playing the National Anthem on the trumpet. Head of School, James Milford welcomed the many retired faculty, former and current board members, and alumni. The Maclay Living History was presented by students from each division. Each of the Living History events talked
about its origin and its importance to the history of the school. After the Maclay Band performed, Mrs. Alyssa Matthews and her 3rd grade student Drew Lamendola, presented the time capsule that the class dug up. They shared the new items that will be buried later this year. The highlight of the program was 1991 alum and Leon County Commissioner John Dailey, escorted by his mom and former 1st grade teacher Sarah Ann Dailey, shared his memories as a student and read the Proclamation from the County marking the 50th Anniversary. To conclude the program, Whitney Snow, current drama teacher and alum (’04) led the 1000 plus guests in the alma mater.

On Saturday, October 14, Maclay hosted its 5th Rowdy ‘Rauder Adventure Challenge. Over 40 teams of students, parents, teachers, alumni, businesses, and community parents participated in the action-packed race tackling 20 obstacles ranging in difficulty from a bone-chilling swim through an ice bath, to a dirty crawl through the mud pit, and a tractor tire roll. This year, the Challenge was designed by our Race Director, Brandi Campbell, along with tri-athlete, Angie Milford. After the race, there was an award presentation for winners in many different categories such as best name, best dressed, top middle school team, top female student team, top female adult team, top co-ed adult team, and top overall.
Polo Under the Oaks is one of the newest traditions at Maclay. The event was once again held at Ten Oaks Farm and featured two teams of international and regional polo players. Tailgaters and VIP’s alike soaked up the sun and cheered on the players. 7
From the Classroom ECLIPSE MANIA Monday, August 21st was a remarkable day in history as a total solar eclipse passed through the United States. The last time a total solar eclipse stretched across the whole United States was in 1979. Tallahassee witnessed 87% coverage of the sun, and the Maclay Science department put extra work into making sure our students were educated about the importance of science’s role during the eclipse. A pair of eclipse viewing glasses were provided by the Science department for all Maclay students and faculty to be able to properly view the eclipse. Students laid on the field to watch the eclipse at its fullest moment, “It was definitely a cool experience because it only happens every 38 years. I was glad our school put an emphasis on us attending,” said McKenley Minacci.
Longleaf Pines Living Laboratory Mrs. Matthews had lots of helpers planting pines.

Last spring, Pre-K and Lower School Science Lab teacher, Stephanie Cornais, applied for the Maclay School Faculty Excellence Grant to bring another outdoor classroom to campus. The year prior, she built a butterfly habitat and raised vegetable garden outdoor classroom for her Pre-K to 5th grade students. This year’s grant proposal included partnering with Tall Timbers Research Station to create an amazing Longleaf Pine Forest outdoor classroom. Longleaf pines once covered 90 million acres of the Southeast, but now only 3 million acres of this unique and highly diverse habitat type remain. On Saturday, December 2nd, Brian Wiebler from Tall Timbers, Mrs. Cornais, and nearly 50 students, parents, and faculty members of the Maclay community came out to plant 1100 pines, native wiregrass, and wildflowers to establish the quarter acre living laboratory. Maclay’s new longleaf pine outdoor classroom will provide students an opportunity to learn about history, land management, local wildlife, and theories of scientific inquiry. It will also provide project-based learning opportunities for Middle and Upper School Science students studying earth and environmental sciences. The site, which is located adjacent to the football field, will eventually have 1500 longleaf pines planted.
and Beyond TEACHERS
7th grade Language Arts teacher Janine Couch attended the National Council for Teachers of English Annual Convention in St. Louis, MO. Some of the highlights were meeting award-winning young adult author Laurie Halse Andersen, learning from teacher and author Nancie Atwell, and listening to poet Jacqueline Woodson. Upper School Math teachers Katy Gimbel, Lucinda Thomas, and Julie Obrecht attended the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics last semester.
Econ Class Adds Urban Planning Maclay’s Econ Class ventured into a new curricular program this year by partnering with the Urban Land Institute. The ULI is a three-week hands-on simulation project that involves students being placed in groups of five and each taking on a roll in the areas of finance, marketing, community liaison, neighborhood liaison, and site planner. Using economic concepts such as supply and demand, allocation of resources, taxes and subsidiaries, and business structures, the groups simulate the redevelopment and revitalization of the city of Elmwood. Based on certain goals, both social and economic, students competed to redesign Elmwood. They had to decide how much office and retail space to build and how many and what type of residential areas
to include. Each week, the groups were visited by community volunteers from the ULI who quizzed them on their decisions and progress and helped them develop their concepts. In December, each of the groups presented their “Elmwood” to the Tallahassee City Council including Nick Maddox chair of Leon County Board of County Commissioners. The project engaged the students in a multitude of ways including the application of economic principles, group dynamics, problem-solving, and collaboration.
John Sniffen presents in front of the commission.
“If I lectured the whole semester the students may or may not retain the principles of economics,” said teacher Stephanie McCann. “This way they are applying all of the concepts and incorporating the ideas. The ULI has been a great addition. It provided us laptops and software with the curriculum. I think the students got a lot out of it.”
UPI Volunteer Francis Rentz gives students feedback on their project.

Day of Service Over 100 Maclay School students, faculty, and parents visited nine locations across Tallahassee on Saturday, September 23rd to perform community service for various agencies and parks.
Chelsea House Members of the Red Cross helped install smoke detectors.
Our football met for a clean-up at Maclay Gardens
The Maclay Key Club was the primary sponsor for Boys Town, which provides five homes for at-risk youth in our area. The 30-plus Key Club members and several other Lower School families cleaned up the landscape, painted bedrooms, and decorated for fall. Anchor Club visited the Big Bend Homeless Coalition where they organized donations and cleaned-up campus. The Maclay Service Learning Club stained a deck at Ronald McDonald House, while others cleaned-up at Goodwood Museum and the football team tackled invasive plants at Maclay Gardens. Other groups of volunteers cooked a meal and cleaned the yard at Chelsea House, and cleaned the interior and exterior of Lee’s Place. Lower School and Upper School student volunteers visited the Early Learning Coalition and created more than 30 motivational signs for their upcoming race. Members of the Maclay Red Cross club joined other volunteers and canvassed homes offering to put in free smoke detectors.

Guatemala Trip Seven Maclay students spent Thanksgiving week in Guatemala helping communities and delivering donations that were collected through the Multicultural Awareness Club which is under the direction of Mrs. Sloderbeck. The team was able to deliver water filters to 36 families with the funds they raised.
Red Cross Hurricane Relief In early September during Hurricane Harvey and Irma, Maclay Red Cross Club along with MCSC and Anchor, collected donations for hurricane relief. Students brought in toiletries, food, and clothing which filled up the whole back corner of Ms. Labatt’s classroom. The Red Cross Club raised $150 from their bake sale for Hurricane Harvey. Because Hurricane Irma approached locally, all the goods went to the local Red Cross Shelter here in Tallahassee.
GUARDIAN AD LITEM Service Clubs including Jr. Beta Club and Maclay Community Service Club collected and purchased holiday gifts for children in the Guardian Ad Litem program. This has been a long tradition at Maclay and our students look forward to helping every year.

Dining Hall and Performance Center Last May, Maclay began a capital project to renovate the Dining Hall which was built in the 1980’s when Maclay had just over 700 students. With the current enrollment at 1000, it was a much-needed project to renovate the space that is used by every single student on campus. In addition to re-utilizing the space, the renovation added magnetic locking doors to secure campus access, upgraded fire and sprinkler system, added a new innovative cafe space for dining, classes, study halls, and team meetings, expanded the Dining Area with comfortable seating arrangements, upgraded the kitchen and eating area, and added a new serving lines. In addition, much-needed locker rooms for the boys and girls swim teams were built. The new $1.3 million improvements were made possible by the many generous donors including parents, grandparents, and friends of the Maclay Community and will provide our students with functional space for many events on campus. The official ribbon cutting took place on November 9th. Please visit page 58 in the Virtu to see the list of generous donors who made this capital project possible.

The luncheon was catered by Mr. Jim and the surprise Maître d’ was Mr. G.
Lower School Pep Rallies To pump up our Lower School spirit, 4th grade teacher, Mrs. Melissa Minacci, started putting on special pep rallies just for K-5th graders. At the Fall Pep Rally, varsity athletes attended to participate in the fun. Athletes instructed and helped with games like bumping a volleyball into a basket and racing in football pads and helmets. At the recent Holiday Pep Rally, students used giant candy canes and ornaments in relay races. We love to see our one school TrueBlue spirit.
Men in Blue The Kindergarten class paid special tribute to our “Men in Blue” – our Maintenance Staff - who work very hard to keep the school running properly. Mr. Frank, Pops, Jessie, Ken, and Jarret joined the students for a lunch and conversation. 17
The National High Magnetic Field Lab
This fall, Maclay Middle School students Nirmay Bhanderi, Paloma Rambana, and James David Milford were selected to participate in the National High Magnetic Field Lab Middle School Mentorship Program. Over 70 students from the surrounding area applied for a few highly coveted spots. The application process requires teacher recommendations and a lengthy writing component and is very competitive attracting top Middle School science and engineering minds in the County. The semester-long Mentorship program shows students how real-world science is conducted and exposes students to types of careers available to them in the field of science. The program begins with an orientation at the lab where 18
students met the Magnet Lab research mentors and paired with another student. Every Friday morning, the students visited the Mag Lab to work in a laboratory setting on a science project. The 10-week experience culminated in a public presentation of their research attended by lab scientists and researchers, teachers, parents and the general public. “This mentorship program pairs students with renowned scientists to tackle real-world situations,” said Middle School Science teacher Rachel Hayes. “The Maclay School Science Department is thrilled that three of our middle school students were able to experience such an incredible opportunity.”
Middle School Mentorship Program
About Paloma’s Research
About James David’s Research
About Nirmay’s Research
From Paloma: The first task was that of learning how to build DC (direct current) circuits and understanding the flow of electricity. We included a voltmeter and ammeter in the circuit so that Ohm’s Law, which equates voltage to the product of current and resistance, could be better understood with measurements. Then we studied and built electromagnets and incorporated one into our circuit to explore the relationship between magnetic fields and current in wires. Finally, we began exploring how to use our circuit as an identification tool.
From James David: We are working on a project involving three different types of materials. We had to put them through many tests, and then try to determine what type of materials they are. The kind of tests that were used to determine the type of metal included finding out the volume, density, thickness, thermal expansion, stress, and strain.
From Nirmay: Our Mag Lab Mentorship Project was to create a dust sensor that could be used to detect very small particles in the lab that could interfere with lab activities and contaminate experiments. We were introduced to our project during the first week and started to learn some background information that was vital to our project. Since we were working with a circuit and an Arduino board, we needed to understand AC and DC energy as well as Ohm’s Law. We then started learning about circuits and how to work with the Arduino which would be controlling our dust sensor. This carried onto the next week when we started working with the actual Arduino. We then had to learn how to program the Arduino to have the dust sensor work together with it. Next, we connected the dust sensor to the Arduino and began testing it. We put it together and programmed it over the next two weeks and then went on to measure the dust readings throughout the Geochemistry Lab. After all this, we had a chart that thoroughly explained how many particles, and what sizes they were, which helped tell the Geochemistry personnel which rooms needed cleaning. We came into this project expecting to create a homemade, cheap version of a dust sensor that could work in a lab setting, but we found that it was limited to detecting particles with sizes larger than 1 micron. This dust sensor is limited in the labs it can be deployed, but can still be utilized in most areas of the Geochemistry Lab.
We discovered that our voltage and current measurements reacted by inserting magnetizable objects into the bore of our electromagnet. Therefore different materials could be used as IDs. However, the reactions were very fast and difficult to quantify. We then began to study about AC (alternating current) and the difference between circuit resistance vs. circuit impedance. By switching to AC power, we could then much more easily identify our IDs. In so doing, we also learned a bit measurement precision and error. In summary, we successfully made a device that could be used to uniquely identify a number of different IDs, and we learned a great deal about circuits, magnets, and applied science.
The hardness tests helped us try to find the average hardness of the materials. We also put them through thermal expansion tests which helped us narrow down our search for the name of the metal. Also, a compression test allowed us to see how much it compressed and how much pressure was pushing on it. The string gauge is connected to a different device that allows us to measure and determine various aspects of the data. We used our data to determine that Material A is Nitronic 50, material B is 6061 Al, and material C is BeCu C175.

MIDDLE SCHOOL NEWS The Polar Academy by Cameron Barton, Middle School Science
Maclay continues to honor our 2017 Distinguished Alumna, BK Grant, for her Antarctic endeavors and her inspiring career. The 6th grade science classes took BK’s inspiration and became Polar Ambassadors as part of the National Science Foundation workshop at Florida State University Coastal and Marine Lab in November. The workshop focused on “Antarctic Influences of Climate Change on Ecosystems.” Over 30 internationally renowned Antarctic scientists gathered at the Gulf Coast, bringing expertise in Antarctic biological, ecological, and ecosystem sciences. They shared knowledge, identified important research priorities, and outlined strategic plans for future research. In preparation for this workshop, Polar Academy Team scientists visited Ms. Barton’s science classes, sharing presentations and case studies, interactive discussions, Q&A sessions, hands-on labs, and simulations. The students were guided through the various issues the continent is facing using scientific methodology.
20
Following the outreach sessions, students performed research. They were given the opportunity to be creative and present their views and interpretations in creations and models. These were later presented during the Scientific Workshop on November 18, 2017. Polar Ambassadors Gordon Lichtstein and Zoe Roopnarine represented Maclay at the workshop, along with teacher Cameron Barton and her daughter, Collins. The students interacted with the scientists, sharing their research and presenting their projects. Scientists provided invaluable feedback for future project ideas. Students were treated to a boat excursion and tours of the marine lab. Maclay students are helping to advance scientific and public understanding of the continent-wide changes that Antarctic ice shelves and surrounding ecosystems will experience in response to warming. Our young Polar Ambassador Marauders are actively involved in Antarctic research, education, and outreach.
Antarctic Ecosystem Workshop and Polar Academy (AntICE) The calving of A68, a 5,800 km2, 1 trillion-ton iceberg, from the Larsen C ice shelf at the Antarctic Peninsula last July presented a unique and timely opportunity for research and education on Polar ecosystems in a changing climate. Funded through NSF, the FSUCML hosted an NSF-funded, 2-day Workshop on Antarctic Ecosystem Research Following Ice Shelf Collapse and Iceberg Calving Events (NSF-OPP 1750903), organized by Dr. Jeroen Ingels (FSUCML) and Prof. Craig Smith (University of Hawaii at Manoa) and Prof. Rich Aronson (Florida Institute of Technology). The scientific workshop brought together nearly 40 researchers with expertise in Antarctic biological, ecological, and ecosystem sciences to share knowledge, identify important research priorities and knowledge gaps, and outline strategic plans for Antarctic research.
Spelling Bee Champs This semester 8th grader Nirmay Bhanderi won the Maclay Spelling Bee and advanced to the Leon County Competition. Seventh grader Lauren Price was the runner-up and first alternate. Congratulations Nirmay and Lauren!
Jr. Beta Drive
Vietnam veteran, Gene Sherron of the 101st Airborne along with his wife, joined forces with the Tallahassee Rotary Club and began making care packages to send to troops. Mrs. Maggie Masferrer, a 7th grade Spanish teacher and members of the Jr. Beta club worked alongside Mr. Sherron to collect goods to make care packages for troops filling 32 boxes with snacks, toiletries, stationary, and personal written notes by the Jr. Beta Club members. In return for their gracious act, troops sent back signed flags dedicated to Maclay and two plaques with medals from their posts in Afghanistan and Cameroon.
Stonehenge Project To wrap up the ending of the Solar Eclipses and Cultures unit, the 6th grade World Geography and science classes studied ancient cultures all over the world to further understand the eclipses within their belief systems and story-telling traditions. The students learned about Stonehenge and how new archaeological research has uncovered a village that is 4,600 years old. “We went out to the Archaeology Dig site at Maclay with maps to view the triolith placements and we a string to connect Triolith 12 to the Heal Stone to see the line of the sun during the solstices. We then built accurate models of Stonehenge using clay and accurate to scale archaeological maps “said World Geography teacher, Martha Kutter. The students then had to present their models, along with their group’s theory as to why Stonehenge was built.
Model UN Every Tuesday, the Middle School Model UN met at lunch in Mrs. Kutter’s room. Interested students packed the classroom to represent countries and join in the discussion on an international article. There were no seats left each week and students shared very articulate opinions about international affairs.
Caroling Through the Lower School Mrs. Coburn took students around to spread holiday cheer in December. Middle School students made their way through the Lower School and Art classes singing carols which were enjoyed by all. 21
UPPER SCHOOL NEWS Jr. Interview Series The year, the Gabor Junior Interview Series introduced a new workshop segment at the FSU Career Center. Students were bussed to FSU for a workshop on resume writing, choosing a career, and tips for a successful interview. Next semester, the juniors will do actual “mock” interviews with professional volunteers from the community to help prepare them for future job and scholarship interviews.
Junior Classical League Maclay is well represented at the state’s Latin’s Florida Junior Classical League meetings. John Menton, FJLC President, Mercy Bickell, Corresponding Secretary, and Latin teacher Kristen Youngblood serves on the state committee. The student board met this fall and laid out plans for the Spring State Forum and other events hosted by the FJCL.
Science National Honor Society The Science National Honor Society hosted Dr. C. Alex Young.

COUNSELING College Counseling Team at Maclay
Chad McClellan Director
Matt Cave Assistant Director
Campus Visits
Kristen Haller College Counselor for Freshman and Sophomores
One avenue of access that many college representatives use to connect to prospective students is a campus visit. This is an excellent opportunity to get individual attention to gain information from their respective institutions and to be able to ask questions one-onone that you may not have this kind of an opportunity anywhere else. It also may look favorable to the admission committees at certain institutions if you took the time out of your day to meet with their representative who traveled to us. This semester alone, we have had over 40 representatives from institutions such as Florida State University, University of Florida, Vanderbilt University, Wake Forest University, Duke University, University of Chicago, and College of William & Mary plus many more. This has been the highest number we have had in the fall semester and many first time visitors to our campus like the University of Chicago.
College Exposure Trips This year, we launched the first ever college exposure trip. This program is designed to get Maclay students on college campuses for tours and information about their respective institutions. The first trip was to the University of Florida. The 36 students who went received an in-depth tour of the campus facilities, insight from their student programming director on the student life offerings, and an inside look at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, football hall of fame, and the O’Connell Center. 24
Summer College Visits This past summer, Director of College Counseling, Chad McClellan, and our new Assistant Director of College Counseling, Matt Cave, attended the Southern Association for College Admission Counseling’s (SACAC) Summer Seminar. This seminar, hosted by Furman University, included campus tours of the University of South Carolina, Presbyterian College, University of North Carolina-Asheville, and Warren Wilson College. During their journey, Mr. McClellan and Mr. Cave toured Anderson University and Clemson University.

eM Bracelets Last spring, the Maclay Visual Art teachers won a Faculty Excellence Grant to create a new program to raise awareness of empathy on our campus by using the unspoken and universal language of art. The project, “Maclay eM Bracelets” included kits to make eM charms. Students and teachers followed the directions to sculpt beads and small plaques out of clay, finish them with a variety of glazes, and string the bracelets which could be given as gifts. The eM Bracelets are a ninnovative hand-crafted project that unites our school directly with the community. “We will be creating beads and bracelets to connect our school with the community by offering a way to thank someone that has had a positive influence on your life,” said Ms. Maurey. “By creating hand-made bracelets we can open up the conversation about empathy and what it means to care for someone.” The eM bracelets were featured in a story in the Tallahassee Democrat this fall.

Sarah shares background information: “NDs go to 4 year medical school like MDs, studying the full basic sciences of anatomy, physiology, biochemistry etc. We differ in that our clinical training comprises mainly botanical medicine, individualized diets, hydrotherapy (use of hot & cold water for therapeutic effect) & homeopathy! We also receive training in pharmacology because in some states NDs are licensed as full primary care practitioners.” Sarah and Teegan will take their final board examinations in spring 2018. The class of 2007 boasts that two of its members are in graduate programs in Boston as of fall 2017. Chase Jordan began Harvard’s Masters Program in Architecture and Alex Power-Hayes started a pediatric residency at Boston Childrens Hospital.

Class of 1982
A Wonderful Reunion for the ‘82ers!
In God’s good grace about half of Maclay ’82 gathered for our 35th anniversary in Tallahassee. After missing previous ones for various reasons – 1997, a faulty email address; 2002, impending birth of twins; 2012, I can’t quite remember – I decided to participate in this reunion. Life is short. My nervousness about seeing old friends compounded my anxiety of late when returning to Tallahassee and getting lost amid the new road configurations. I’m still attempting to solve getting to the post office on Centerville Road. And, oh my, when did this battery of student apartments south of Doak Campbell Stadium arise? Yet after my mom and I toured the delightfully eclectic Railroad Square Art Park on the morning of the FSU-Miami football game (the same weekend as the reunion), I was glad to see a hopeful sign at the old train station welcoming Amtrak’s return to Florida’s capital city. Some traditions should be maintained, or revived. My first reunion stop was the alumni parade on Friday around Maclay’s sprawling campus. Wow. The main entrance to the school, now the Jablon Lower School, is impressive, though it still looks familiar. Elementary school students were having class in the grassy area off the entrance, where we used to have recess in Barbara Brown’s sixth grade. There was a school bus in the parking lot, evoking my memory of late night returns from Marauder basketball and soccer games. For some reason Maclay’s sports teams’ bus driver, Earline Screws, never would allow enough bathroom breaks, and when we would hit the school’s speed bumps, everyone in the back of the bus would just about pop. The homecoming parade ended at the new (as in, completed in 2004) Webster Athletics and Convocation Center. I had to skip the Marauders’ raucous pep rally to attend to my mom in our pick-up truck. I hoped she could see the parade where I had parked. Sitting and waving anonymously in the parade on the alumni float, surrounded by younger dads with their children, I had felt a tad old. But pleasantly so. The Maclay campus still has an abundance of glorious oak and pine trees. Headmaster James Milford’s roaming the parking lot in a blue-and-white

checkerboard costume for homecoming was a hoot. Is it his signature oddity? Our class all knew Bill Jablon’s calling card: his loud singing in the hallways, particularly during classes. Good headmasters (and teachers too – recall Doug Haydel’s ties, or Dorothy Wagner’s candy), those whom you remember fondly, decades later, are all a little eccentric. I nearly attended Maclay’s Friday evening football game, but without confirmation of others in our class showing up, I prevaricated, and waited for the postgame Island Wing Company gathering. Again, this seems to me a brand new restaurant poked in back somewhere behind the McDonalds on Thomasville Road. And just when did Thomasville Road get four lanes? Chris Bivins, in town with his wife Jennifer, mentioned to me that he used to bicycle to Maclay on Thomasville, then only two lanes, from his home near Waverly Pond. At Island Wing’s I finally met a few others in our class, and their spouses (who, like our class president now, Rick Parker, esq., are honorary alumni – hey, we were a small class): John and Kim Vinson, Jane Aurell Menton and husband Steve, Keith Gwaltney and wife Lisa (Deryk Jones, Holt Harrison, and John Mims – Keith, Fred Woodward, and I swapped a few unsavory stories about you all). Most of us are a little gray now, or bald, but it’s interesting to me that high school friends’ voices and laughter still sound the same. Saturday of homecoming weekend the North Florida football scene descended into gloom – Miami eked out a win over FSU, and Florida likewise lost a close one to LSU. But there was revelry at the class reception that Jane and Steve hosted, catered by Mark Suber, Maclay ’77. Again, I was uncertain what to expect, walking down the Mentons’ manicured brick sidewalk. But they organized a casual, splendid time. Reminiscence with old friends who can remind you of things you once did or said is humbling, but great fun. Fred is now much taller than me – how did that happen? Sally Shaw Hyde and Lea Bryant Lane are
still Best Friends Forever. Jay Fahs has just finished a career captaining a U.S. nuclear submarine, and Joe Sechler is a medical doctor and professor – wow, wow, but doesn’t that fit what they seemed headed for? Yet it’s a small world too – Keith explained that he was also in the Navy, and had once served under Jay’s command. Likewise, I think I overheard Kara Albert Davis and Tracy Proctor Williamson, both attorneys, mentioning they had possibly worked on the same legal case (I’m not sure if they were co-counsels or adversaries). Wallace Beall and Jeff Teal arrived later at the reception than I, and I could catch up with them only briefly. Wallace shared that his dad, in his eighties, still drives a sports car much too fast. We all should have that aspiration. John invited those of us interested to have a nightcap at something called “Ology,” a bar in town on Sixth Street. I got lost trying to find it, but finally arrived remembering that he said it was where Lucy Ho’s original Chinese restaurant was. I was in time to catch up a little more with Sally, Lea, Tracy, Kara, John, Wallace, and Keith. The night ended later than I had expected. The great Gainesville musician Tom Petty, who launched his band the Heartbreakers in our youth, died the week before the reunion. Part of the Heartbreakers’ song “American Girl” (a hit in 1977, when we were in seventh grade) goes, “Well, she was an American girl/Raised on promises/She couldn’t help thinkin’/That there was a little more to life somewhere else/ After all it was a great big world/.” The world is big, and there is more to life than Tallahassee. But that is just me. And my memories of my foundational experiences at Maclay, obviously, remain warm. Thanks ‘82ers. We missed everyone who couldn’t make it. Looking forward to 40. Cheers, Tim Roberts
Alumni Affairs CLASS REUNIONS Class of 1987
It’s Been 30 Years and Yet It was Yesterday! Thirty years is a long time. As far as the Class of 87 is concerned, it feels like yesterday. Our hairstyles and fashions are a little less 80s (and in some cases, a lack of hair is more the order of the day). Our conversations tend towards our families nowadays and now many of us have high school seniors. But when we get together, we are always able to pick up where we left off. It was great to see everybody, and the weekend was made more special by two special events. First was the induction of the 1986-87 swim team into the Sports Hall of Fame. Second was the presentation of a flag from our classmate, BG Johnny Richardson. The flag was flown over Mosul during the liberation of the city and later carried on an Apache helicopter during a mission. It was a special reminder of the selfless service that Johnny has given to our country and how proud we are of him. It was a great weekend full of stories and laughter. We hope those of you who didn’t make it will be here the next time. Written by David Williamson.

Always Great to See Friends: Class of ‘97 Gathers for Its 10 Year Reunion Hurricanes can’t keep us down! The Class of 1997 had a fantastic Reunion Weekend catching up with one another both on campus and around town. Classmates made plans to see one another at the Homecoming pep rally, football game, and school tour. We also enjoyed celebrating Brian Cashin’s accomplishments as he was inducted into the School’s Athletics Hall of Fame. Saturday evening brought us all together at Table 23 where we closed down the venue, and continued the party across the street! We enjoyed visiting with classmates and their guests from in town and across the country. Friends flew in from all over to celebrate our 20th Reunion Weekend...and are very much looking forward to our next one!
Class of 2007
Class of 2007 Celebrates and Remembers “The class of 2007 had their 10 year reunion this fall at Table 23. Although the class has dispersed as far north as Boston and as far west as Oregon, many traveled back to Florida to catch up with former teachers and classmates. The class now boasts a variety of occupations including teachers, doctors, lawyers, artists, consultants, architects, and parents. In a moment of true solidarity, the class held a fundraiser for two of their classmates, Tyler Rowland and Christopher Smith, who passed away since high school. The money raised was used to buy alumni bricks on Maclay’s Legacy Walkway, and the surplus was donated to the Maclay Financial Aid Fund.” By Chase Jordan

Included in the courtyard is the Distinguished Alumni Wall with plaques honoring those alums who have received the Distinguished Alumnus Award. There is also the Legacy Walkway composed of brick pavers that connect the courtyard to the Upper School. This walkway is where all alumni can be a part of Maclay’s history and legacy.
The pavers are available only to Maclay alumni and each paver is engraved with an alum’s name and graduation year. The funds raised from the sale of these brick pavers go primarily towards a scholarship and/or financial assistance for Maclay students. It would be great to add your name to the walkway!!
