CLASS OF 1970 4

Photos from the 1970 Karux foreword With the advent of a new decade, the issue of change prevades the entire globe. Social and technical advancements rapidly produce alterations for the future, which seems to draw nearer every day. Mercersburg has not escaped this tide of change and leaving behind an old decade and establishment, it pushes ahead for a new and challenging environment.

Change invades the campus in numerous ways whether it be new buildings, girls, long hair, class cuts, voluntary chapel. But with the attempts to keep up with the new, change sometimes creates a separation from tradition. Perhaps this separation will be beneficial to the future generations of the campus which in their own times will create a further change for the school and the world.

The 1970 KARUX is attempting, through the means of photographs and a little copy, to show this marked change which has encompassed Mercersburg. The format of the book has been altered slightly to comply with this change and perhaps set a precedent for the future.

Maybe you won't like it, but hopefully you will, and looking over this book in the future it will remind you of the year of change, 1970.

A Messsage From...

Reunion Weekend will include an opportunity to honor and recognize alumni who are making Mercersburg proud. With that in mind, we’re writing today to seek nominations for the 2020 Alumni Council Awards, which will be presented at the Reunion Weekend kickoff dinner on Thursday, June 4. Please take a few moments to read the award criteria, and if you would like to nominate a classmate or another fellow alum, please email their name and the reason for your nomination to alumni@mercersburg.edu by Monday, October 7.

SEPTEMBER 2019

Hello classmates, Mark your calendars: our class will celebrate our 50th reunion at Mercersburg during Reunion Weekend 2020, June 4-7!

We’re actively recruiting classmates to help plan the best reunion possible, and we hope you’ll consider volunteering to serve on our reunion committee.

You can learn more about this opportunity at the Reunion Round Table on Saturday, October 19, at 9:30 a.m. during Family and Alumni Weekend.

We’ve already recruited Jim Dake, Vic DeRose, John Dutrey, Oscar Hunsicker, Ross Lillard, Rick Macek, Sam Morgan, Bruce Neustadt, Patrick Regnery, Bob Richards, Frank Rutherford, Dan Seamans, Bill Stamets, and Bill Wallace, and we want you to join the fun. Please contact us if you’ll volunteer.

While our committee is just starting our outreach efforts, we’ve already heard from 31 classmates that they are planning to attend. Please be on the lookout for a call from one of us in the coming weeks. We’re excited to reconnect with you, hear about what you’ve been up to since our days at the ‘Burg, and share updates from campus.

We hope you’re as excited about our 50th reunion as we are. Check out the video below to see a preview of what we can expect on campus in June.

Looking forward to reconnecting with you soon!

OCTOBER 2019

Dear Classmates, Hard as it is to believe, we are coming upon our 50th reunion! Eight months and counting. Mark your calendars for June 4-7, 2020. This should be the Class of 1970’s best reunion EVER! Our committee will continue its outreach efforts over the coming weeks, so look forward to a call, email, text, Facebook message, or even a note in the mail from one of us. We’re excited about reconnecting and finding out what you’ve been up to since our days at the ’Burg.

Over the years I have asked myself what my life would have been like if not for Mercersburg. I was always a shy kid that had to be pushed to join in.

After being at the ’Burg for three years, I went on to college. While the grades did not improve, I found myself eager to take the lead in college related activities which I would never have done prior to Mercersburg.

In short, Mercersburg was a springboard for me to understand that it is important and fun to get involved, even if that takes me out of my comfort zone. I’m sure we have all changed just a bit since our days at the ’Burg. Next June 4-7, we have the opportunity to re-engage with each other and have a lot of fun by getting together for our 50th reunion. After all, no matter where life has taken us, we all have something in common: the Mercersburg Academy.

If you would like to be part of the planning committee, let me know and I will have you added to the list for our monthly calls. Doesn’t take much time or effort, but it can be very rewarding. If you have any questions or just want to say hello, I would love to hear from you. 50th reunions, literally, only

happen once in a lifetime. Let’s take full advantage of ours.

I look forward to hearing from you and seeing you next June 4-7, 2020.

DECEMBER 2019

Dear Classmates, Less than six months remain until the 50th reunion of the Mercersburg Class of 1970 scheduled for June 4-7, 2020. I am amazed at the positive responses already generated by the efforts of the committee.

Historically, our class has not been noted for attendance at reunions. I recall a befuddled former development director asking me years ago, “What’s up with the Class of 1970?” I’m sure we all have different answers to that question.

A half century down the road many of our classmates have not returned to campus since graduation. Twenty-four will not get the chance again.

The events this June will provide us with a great opportunity to reconnect with old (really old?) classmates and rediscover a school which has undergone drastic changes since our departure but still retains many familiar characteristics.

9

I have thoroughly enjoyed getting reacquainted with our current committee members and hope we can add more of you to the ranks in the ensuing months.

If each person already planning to attend can convince just one person they’d like to see to come, it will be a memorable gathering. Many alumni live in relatively close proximity to the campus and could easily make the trip. Plus, our very own classmates will be honored on Thursday evening: Paul Mellott ’70 as the recipient of the Class of ’32 Award, and Rick Witmer ’70 as the recipient of the Alumni Council Medal for Distinguished Achievement.

Since my daughter and her family now live in Mercersburg, I was able to visit the grandchildren and take in portions of the reunions of both the Class of 1968 and 1969. I had an older brother in each class, and being a “four-year boy,” it was great fun to see and talk with so many people who were friends, classmates, or teammates. Some people came for the full program, others only stopped in for a day, but everyone seemed to enjoy the well-run events. Even the food was great, nothing like the old mystery-meat days. One of my brothers remarked after a long interesting conversation with one of his contemporaries that he didn’t think he had spoken with the person that much in his entire four-year stint.

I acknowledge the irony of the senior poll winner for “Hates Mercersburg Most” recruiting returnees for the reunion. Despite that dubious distinction, I have many fond memories of friends and experiences at the ‘Burg. My appreciation for the broad-based education I received there has only increased over time. We were taught to reason critically. I learned a lot from some brilliant teachers and probably equally as much from fellow students who knew about lots of things that I didn’t. Today it seems that many institutions try to teach what to think rather than how to think. Mercersburg provided me with a sound platform for a lifetime of continued learning.

We were on the cusp of coeducation at Mercersburg and other societal changes that created a much different atmosphere at the school. The committee’s focus has been on bringing back people, not on the place, nor on fundraising, but just about having a great get together. We even have a corny slogan (50

10

for the 50th). The real irony would be if we reached this record-breaking milestone. Maybe that would answer the question “What’s up with the Class of 1970?” It would be interesting to know.

My eblast template instructed me to personalize my communication with “unique memories of my time on campus,” but I discarded most of those as inappropriate. This was followed by “who you want to see.” Personally, I’d like to see all of you, but I’d be glad to see any of you. Then it was “what you’re looking forward to next June.” Just being there, actually.

Going back to the personal category, I’m going to promise to get a beer for anyone able to answer the following trivia questions from back in the day when it wasn’t politically incorrect to give people nicknames.

Identify the following: Fritz Moose Jubal Liebchen Rock

Chief Tank Ferric Eric Maximus The Brown

Bomber Soapy Mr. Spaceman Leapin Lenny Piano Legs

How much does a beer cost at reunion?

I was going to put a column with the answers on the other side so you could match the nickname with the person but that would be too much like an Ivy League exam (hint: there are some dogs in here).

Payoffs collectible June 4-7, 2020 @ Mercersburg.

JANUARY 2020

Dear Classmates, Another year has passed, another decade has passed, and another century has passed.

We were children of the ’50s and ’60s. We grew at home in the ’50s. We grew at Mercersburg Academy in the ’60s.

We faced the world as budding adults in the ’70s.

We all went in different directions. The ’80s passed, as did the ’90s. We raised families. We started and grew our businesses.

The 20th century passed very quickly for most of us.

We grew.

I know I grew as a result of being at Mercersburg Academy for three years, although I did not realize at the time how much I was learning about life at the Academy. The experiences I had with classmates, teachers, and situations played an invaluable part of my being. I have reflected back to those late ’60s many, many times. The lessons, the experiences— good and bad—we all grew.

Now it is 50 years after many of us have last seen each other.

Now we have a “golden opportunity” that probably a lot of us will never have again. It is our 50th anniversary reunion, man.

It will be our biggest and best reunion of our class now and forever. Save the dates (June 4-7, 2020) and make your best effort to be there! I have been so looking forward to meeting my classmates all over again.

Commit! I don’t want you to miss this one-time opportunity to be with the awesome and diversified Mercersburg Academy Class of 1970.

Humbly yours and bendiciones a todos, John Dutrey ’70 50th Reunion Committee Member johnwdutrey@gmail.com | 717-249-2135

FEBRUARY 2020

Dear Classmates, We’re now less than four months away from our 50th reunion, and registration is LIVE! Fortysix of our classmates have already committed to being there; will you be there too?

The Alumni Council is hosting a kickoff dinner on Thursday, June 4, where several alumni will be recognized, as well as faculty and staff retirees and a number who have served Mercersburg for more than 25 years. I hope you’ll consider coming back for this special event to honor all, and especially our classmates Paul and Rick.

To entice you to commit to attending, the allinclusive rate offers a $115 savings per person if you register before April 15. If you can’t make it on Thursday or don’t want to stay in a dorm, there are a la carte prices available as well.

If it’s been a while since you’ve been back for a reunion, please check out the frequently asked questions on the reunion webpage. Most attendees stay on campus; spouses/partners will find plenty that’s of interest to them, and many alumni bring their families.

As the weekend approaches, I find that a lot of Mercersburg memories are flooding back. For me, I never really left as I returned after college and grad school to teach, coach, and advise for 43 years. I had

11

a chance to see many of you over the years but have missed seeing those I played basketball with or ran track with. I still have great memories of those days on the track with Diethard Kolewe, who I have kept in contact with over these last 50 years.

To me, my fondest memories are the interactions with many of the young teachers who were there with us during those turbulent times. As a teacher at Mercersburg, my fondest memories are my interactions with students in the classroom, in the dorm, on the playing fields, and on trips to Costa Rica, Ecuador, and India.

I would love to hear your favorite Mercersburg memories—in person—at our 50th reunion. And perhaps even more so, I’d love to hear what you’ve been doing since we last saw each other. I’m enjoying retirement with my wife, Debbie, who also retired after 42 years of working at Mercersburg.

If you cannot make it back, then you definitely need to fill out the memory book so we all know what you have been doing since graduation. Please fill it out regardless of your attendance; this will be a good way for us to reconnect in advance of the weekend.

We all left Mercersburg and pursued unique and varied paths. Reunions may bring about anxiety for some, but thankfully time helps erase the artificial social constructs of high school. I’m excited to come back to see those who I was close to, and I’m also looking forward to making new connections.

I’m looking forward to sharing our past stories and adventures while discovering what you all have been up to in the last 50 years. If you have not been on campus since 1970 (or even in the last five years), you will not believe how the campus and facilities have changed.

So stop what you’re doing right now, and visit the Reunion Weekend webpage to see who’s coming and to register.

I really hope to see you on campus June 4!

Best, Frank Rutherford ’70 50th Reunion Committee Member frunner@me.com | 717-496-5419

MARCH 2020

Hello classmates, According to the Mercersburg countdown clock, at the time I am penning this note there are 85 days until our 50th reunion. Unfortunately, with the COVID-19 crisis, there is some uncertainty around the event happening. The school’s provided an update on how they’re responding to the coronavirus pandemic below, in the “Of Note” section. These are challenging times for us all, and I’m heartened to see how Mercersburg’s leading the way in virtual education. Please take a minute to read this.

Let me start with saying that I hope you’re all staying safe and sane. Please respond to this note or reach out to other committee members to check in. I’m finding that interactions like this are helping and will be important as we all navigate this together.

I’m also hopeful our reunion is a go. To date, 19 of our classmates have already RSVP’d, and another 29 are reportedly planning to attend. We could actually break the attendance record for 50th reunions, which is 52! See who is coming and register for the weekend on the Reunion Weekend webpage.

When I first came to Mercersburg for a tour in the fall of 1965, I remember our guide taking us to various buildings, and along the way he spoke about the many Mercersburg grads who went on to find colleges and universities. Many have distinguished themselves in all fields of endeavor, e.g. medicine, law, academia, the sciences, and the arts. The guide mentioned Jimmy Stewart, who had gone on to Princeton, after which he became a WWII ace and leading actor. He had excelled in the performing arts while at Mercersburg and was also a gifted visual artist as well. The tour ended at the gym, where I saw all of the many trophies lined up in the old wooden cases by the entrance. The guide told me

that Jim Thorpe and his teammates from nearby Carlisle College had competed against Mercersburg in track and field. I saw several trophies that had been awarded to the school’s Olympians, and I was impressed. The school had a proud and storied past.

Mercersburg was an institution steeped in tradition to be sure, but a sea change was taking place in America while we were matriculating there. The Vietnam War only served to catalyze that change.

As a byproduct, we were treated to a fine variety of music (arguably the best ever) during those years.

Mercersburg was changing too, albeit at a glacial pace. Compulsory Chapel ended and coeducation began. The school has come full circle today. I have heard from those who have stayed closer to the school than I that the stewardship of the school has been excellent, and that it has continued to build on its fine reputation. We should all be proud of our school today, and the change we were a part of.

Some of my vivid memories of Mercersburg are as follows: beautiful colors that adorned the campus in fall, the pristine blankets of snow that covered the campus in winter and attendant all campus snowball fights, the Candlelight Services, verdant springs, dynamic student and faculty interaction, academic rigor, attending and participating in athletic events, pep rallies, pick-up games, ping pong in Ford Hall, great conversation during meals, “Free Days,” the Irving-Marshall competition culminating in the declamations that were both thought provoking and also entertaining, Saturday night movies in Boone Hall, snacks from Jack McLaughlin’s food truck at ‘88 after the movies, Stony Batter productions, the art contest, and hearing the carillon ring throughout the land on Saturday nights.

My studies at Mercersburg sparked an interest in foreign languages that continued through my college years. I went on to study abroad, where my background in economics led to the study of comparative economic systems. I had some of the greatest experiences of my life on my travels abroad, and I mastered some foreign languages along the way. I credit Mercersburg for creating that spark.

Unfortunately, there is no fancy time machine that can take us back to the erstwhile days of our youth,

but hopefully we can go back for our 50th reunion on June 4-7, which may be the best opportunity we’ll ever have to visit with many of our classmates. Let’s support the achievements of Paul Mellott and Rick Witmer, who are being honored at the Thursday evening meal; and also the activities being planned

by Paul Mellott, Don Freas, and Frank Rutherford. On behalf of the Reunion Committee, we would greatly enjoy seeing all of you, so please make every effort to attend!

Again, please respond and be in touch so we know how you’re doing, and we’ll keep you posted on the status of our 50th reunion. I want to hear from you!

Sincerely, Vic DeRose ‘70 Reunion Committee Member jus3248@yahoo.com | 317-727-5031

MAY 2020

Dear classmates, “What a spirit spring is bringing around my head, Makes me feel glad that I’m not dead.”

“Witchi-Tai-To” Jim Pepper, Everything Is Everything (1969) First, I hope the coronavirus has not caused the loss of any loved ones, and everyone is healthy. While we all are enduring the boredom and the food and paper product shortages brought on by this terrible pandemic, we can still look on the bright side–it is spring, after all, and, well, things could be worse, as Jim Pepper (a Native American) suggests above in his inimitable way.

By now you have heard our June 2020 reunion was unfortunately postponed. But here’s good news: after conversations with reunion committee volunteers and the Alumni Council, the school has decided that our class, along with all other classes ending in a 0 or a 5, will be invited back to campus

13

to celebrate with the classes ending in 1 or 6 for next year’s Reunion Weekend–happening June 2021.

Plus, here’s a silver lining: we’ll get to celebrate in June 2021 AND the school’s working to put on a “virtual” Reunion Weekend this June 4-7, 2020.

Among the highlights for the virtual weekend, faculty and staff milestones will be honored, several alumni and faculty sessions will be available (some to consume at your leisure, others to tune in live!), and on Saturday night, a virtual class gathering will be held so we can toast our reunion.

Now there is plenty of time to make plans to come to and celebrate our “50th/51st” reunion (no, it’s not the Van Halen album). You might actually be able to get a room at the Mercersburg Inn–talk about how that place has changed! And I am here urging you to come back!

That I am writing to you today is a testament to how important Mercersburg is to me. I can tell you that my similarly aged friends, who did not have the good fortune to attend Mercersburg, are not planning anything for their 50th reunions. After all these years, I am still connected to the place and feel very proud about that. I have had much fun connecting with reunion committee members recalling our experiences at Mercersburg. My friends don’t say these things about their schools, public or private.

At my age I can look forward to maybe another 20 years—assuming my good health continues—and hope to have the opportunity to attend future reunions. Having been to all of them except 1985, I will not miss our 50th/51st. We’ve all heard how the school has changed: the outstanding Lenfest Library, the fabulous Burgin Center for the Arts (what was wrong with Boone Auditorium?), and all the other improvements that have been made everywhere, even to the landscaping! It goes on and on.

The school is more than ever a beautiful place in and of itself.

I didn’t always feel like that when I was a student, but that was because I had to be there every day—and I took it all for granted. Like other guys, I couldn’t wait to go home for vacations, complained about the food, the odorific tannery (not to mention the fragrances wafting over the campus from the

14

local farms, especially this time of year), spending interminable hours studying, and fearing for my life in Stu Wallace’s (no relation) medieval history class.

But alas those experiences paled compared to the inspirations instilled in me over my four years.

I won’t forget Slevin’s English classes (“eschew obfuscation” he would say while holding down his Samoyed’s tail with his foot), Magruder’s Russian classes, Husted’s Spider football, Steiger’s soccer, and Keller’s wrestling. My classmates will remember I had a certain affinity for trains, and when I had the time I was in Irvine library, then in Keil, reading everything I could get my hands on about the railroad industry. There was even an informal railroad club which organized road trips (yes!) to the East Broad Top narrow-gauge shortline (now a national historic site) and other railroad meccas. These are fond memories. The school gave me the foundation I especially needed and had to work very hard to get. It all paid off—when I graduated I won a prize for “Most Improved Student” (a surprise to me, I must have been a complete wreck when I started four years earlier). For all of my experiences at Mercersburg, I am eternally grateful. The school set me on my way to study transportation in college, leading to my lifelong involvement with the railroad side of NJ TRANSIT. While I wish we all could be together next month, I’m very much looking forward to being together with my friends in the Classes of 1970/1971, and the unique opportunity a “cluster” reunion provides. We have two events coming up: keep your calendars marked for June 4-7, 2020, and enjoy some of the amazing virtual programming that’s being planned.

More information will be shared later this month, so watch your inboxes and visit the Reunion Weekend webpage for more details. And mark your calendars for our 50th/51st reunion in June 2021, when we can come back to campus to be together in person!

I am looking forward to these events and hope you are also.

All my best, and stay healthy, Bill Wallace ’70 50th Reunion Committee Member wbraveheartw@comcast.net | 609-397-9527

People live in a world of change. Their daily lives are characterized by many things, some ordinary and some quite exciting. Life is the sum of the ordinary and exciting events which effect everyone. Individuals change, thereby altering their patterns of daily living, sometimes for the worse but, hopefully, mostly for the better.

Ethan Allen Honolulu, HI ethanallen100@gmail.com Asia-Pacific Center for Security Studies Professor

Where Life Has Taken Me After college (Stetson Univ., SUNY Binghamton) and grad school (Univ. Oregon), I’ve enjoyed a varied career-advancing science education. I’ve lived in Chapel Hill, NC, Eugene, OR, Austin, TX, Chicago, IL, and Seattle, WA, and am now happily settled in Honolulu, HI. Collaborating with my wife, I created a Smithsonian traveling exhibit. I’ve designed exhibits for Chicago’s Museum of Science and Industry, coauthored an article with a Nobel Laureate, and raised over $10M for innovative science learning programs around the country and across the world. I’ve developed a broadly used nanotechnology teaching tool. I’ve worked in remote Pacific island nations such as Palau, Micronesia, and the Marshall Islands. I’ve hosted a live-streamed Internet TV series.

What’s on the Horizon I’ve just six months ago started on a new, and completely different career path. Working at the Asia-Pacific Center for Security Studies (APCSS), I teach and facilitate building networks among security (human, economic, environmental, as well as military) professionals, bridging the realms of science, education, and security. I’ve recently published an article in Liaison magazine about my work building water security among Pacific Island communities, and am currently working on a chapter - the reciprocal impacts of science, technology, and security - for an upcoming APCSS book. I enjoy exploring the ever-changing Pau Hana (happy hours) here in Waikiki and I am looking forward to more travel with my wife in upcoming years.

Where Life Has Taken Me THEN

Did commercial radio and television news broadcasting, public television broadcasting and production, and freelance television production, first in Southeastern Ohio, York, PA, and later Denver, CO. I moved to Colorado two years after JAMES PAUL BROWN graduating from the Indiana University of PA in 1975. I also 107 South Murtland Street attendedPittsburgh, Marietta College and the University of Cincinnati.

Pennsylvania 15208 Married since 1980.

One son and two grandchildren, who live in Marshall, Chemistry Club 2; Jurisprudence Society 4; German Club 2,3; nearby Longmont, CO. Now a freelance photographer for two French Club 1,2,3,4; Stony Batter 1,3; suburban Denver community newspapers, shooting mostly Paideia 1. features and high school sports. Gave me an excuse to upgrade DSLR camera gear. Still play drums and some acoustic guitar.

Have attended (and photographed) several ‘Burg events in 77 Denver.

What’s on the Horizon NOW

Getting through this crazy pandemic. I will hopefully get some travel in. Plan to audition for a Latin-themed rock band. I want to continue freelance photography.

My Fondest Mercersburg Memories though only a “two-year boy,” afforded so many leadership and growth opportunities, hard to imagine where I’d be without it; the ability to meld my athletic side into the daily life of the school brought a level of enjoyment to the sport that I had never experienced. A most startling revelation when arriving on campus in the fall of my freshman year of college (which was clearly imprinted 24/7- 9 months a year) was that there were no damn buzzers going off multiple times an hour to alert you to alerts that were alerting you to some event that required a lot of alerting-10 mins to wake up/ b’fas/class/sleep...

Where Life Has Taken Me

THEN

After college (William & Mary) and grad school (Syracuse), I got married (Sandy) and began my career in television production rising up through the ranks to become director/producer at various network affiliates. Among many career highlights were interviewing Gregory Peck, shooting specials at Disney Studios and in Hawaii,79 and directing professional wrestling (befriending Randy “Macho Man” Savage). Moved over to PBS (The Kentucky Network) in 1993, producing numerous specials and documentaries which garnered me several Emmy Awards.

Retired in 2018 and now consulting for other PBS stations and independent producers. Along the way, had two kids (both married, three grandkids), was a soccer dad, amateur writer/ photographer, continued playing drums in a band, and followed my passions for rock and roll, food, and world travel.

What’s on the Horizon

NOW

Hoping that my psychologist wife Sandy will think seriously about retiring so we can move back to the East Coast where our kids live and where we have a cottage on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Will continue to consult, write, travel, explore new recipes, and work on my own documentary - “Bacon: A Love Story.”

My Fondest Mercersburg Memories Black ties, getting guard duty my second week there (thanks Dean Howard), Saturday night movies and Jack’s food truck, being on a winning Marshall team, the chapel walkout (my friends can’t believe that I used to go to church four times a week including Saturday mornings), editing the Karux (and navigating Henry Kittredge), getting up on Sunday mornings to get eggs in the cafeteria, being a 4th floor proctor with Scott Purinton on ‘88’s final year, Barry Bergh’s English class, The Nature of Man class with Mr. Ferguson, “Free days,” ski club, hitching a ride on Saturday mornings to DC with Mr. Magruder, girls joining the school, and finally, being introduced to a whole new world of people, cultures, music, literature, and substances.

THEN 79

The first stop was Denison University for four years, with a BS in psychology and an interest in music and theater leading to the University of Washington (Seattle) for two years for an MA in technical theater. I ended up in Lafayette, IN at Purdue two years later where I joined IATSE Local 174 to work as a stagehand and projectionist. Back to Seattle in 1979 to work in IATSE Local 15 for a variety of employers. During my 40 plus years career in the theater I also invented several awardwinning products for theater including Moving Light Hangers, Safer Sidearms, and Track Tamers. The Crawshaw family is scattered far and wide and I am fortunate to have them and their wives and children to be with.

What’s on the Horizon

NOW

I wish I could say I was living large off the royalties from my inventions, but I was always a better inventor than businessman so I will ease into retirement from the theater this year. The shut down of the economy has caused the live entertainment, rock ‘n roll and corporate meeting industries to cease operations for the foreseeable future so it becomes a forced retirement. I was looking forward to working in 2021 in the new billion-dollar sports area and the new equally expensive convention center, but I bought my National Parks pass awhile ago and will look forward to using it to explore the natural wonders of the U.S. instead.

My Fondest Mercersburg Memories The days Headmaster Bill Fowle walked into the dining room and the students erupted in applause because it meant “Free Day”! Whiling away the Sunday afternoon hours with John Aitcheson, Walter Lauer, and Ross Lillard in the Ford Hall pool hall. On parents day, 1967 going through the hazing ritual (black ties be gone!) crawling through the muddy obstacle course in a white t-shirt and white pants only to cut my right hand, waving to Headmaster Fowle with the bleeding hand on my way to the infirmary for stitches and then greeting my parents with my bandaged right hand. Singing in the Glee Club and Chapel Choir (that became less motivating after the walkout in April 1969).

Where Life Has Taken Me THEN

Life is the best teacher. Life has taught me a lot. Life has taught me some good things in life and has taught me some bad things, but the longer I live I realize it is better to continue in the good things and let the bad things for somebody else.

I always remember it is not about you, the best thing that you can do for yourself is to help other people. Believe me.

Bendciones

What’s on the Horizon I have been retired for a while and it is a nice way of life if you do positive things. As we are in the midst of this Corona pandemic I won’t be doing any travel to the Caribbean. When I get the time and money I usually go to the Caribbean partially for myself and partially to help other people. It is a blessing to be able to help the less fortunate. Sure it will not change the world but it certainly will make a difference in one family’s life.

NOW

It is very rewarding and I am blessed to be able to do it.

THEN

After a couple of tries, I graduated from American with a philosophy degree. Thought about law school but decided, Nah, and traveled around the world for a year on a boat. I met my now former wife on that trip. I had two beautiful daughters and did lots of trips with the family and eventually with my adult daughters. Been to over 90 countries. Career was in the family wallpaper manufacturing business with brother Forry (‘68). The highlight of that was a license with Arnold and Winnie Palmer.

Wandered across the country in the summer of 1970 with brothers Tim, Tom, Dan Seamans, and George Heindel.

1974 Cornell graduate, B.A. English. Worked for two family businesses, the first raising, training, and competing with 83 English Setter hunting dogs, the second involving real estate, forestry, and farming. One allowed me to spend time in the great outdoors from the Canadian prairies to the deep South, the other taught me to become a jack of all trades. Spent the last 26 years tilting at windmills as Town Supervisor and member of the County Legislature. There’s a real education.

Served on Boards of local, regional, and state organizations.

Most importantly, I raised five children with my lovely wife of 41 years (all Mercersburg grads). Lots of “independent study,” especially History.

What’s on the horizon? God only knows and he’s not saying.

My Fondest Mercersburg Memories Free days, friends, sports. Sanctioned and unsanctioned offcampus excursions. Leading off the medley relay in 1st swim meet in the new pool. How did that happen? Learning from Henry Fetterman after I got a zero on freshman English pop quiz where neither read the assignment that you could just BS. Tubing down the Conococheaque. Several very interesting courses and teachers. Going to Mass in the basement bar room at the Mercersburg Inn before figuring out I didn’t have to.

Reinforcing my lifelong motto inspired by the nuns to “spare me from the people who are certain they know what’s best for me.” Getting through Declamation without error for the first time on Marshall-Irving weekend after Max Smith conned me into replacing someone who bailed the week before.

Where Life Has Taken Me I attended Allegheny College where I was not quite a stellar student and after two years transferred to Arizona State University where the fun really began! I started a local chapter of a national fraternity. After graduating with a degree in Zoology, I was rejected by the zoo but did end up doing research at the University of Pennsylvania. The corporate world came calling and I relocated from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh.

Eventually I ended up back in Philly and retired as the President and CEO of Verizon TeleProducts. My wife and I recently celebrated our 30th Anniversary. My two sons, who are moguls in the music industry, live in Houston.

What’s on the Horizon 91

NOW

I have been retired for more years than I want to admit. I always wanted to try my hand at woodworking and after some trial and error, I decided to take care of our feathered friends. I am now known by my clients as the “birdhouse” man. I scrounge used woods from decks, pallets, etc. and find used doorknobs, keys, or whatever I can find at auctions to decorate the houses.

Buyers like the idea of recycling and I like the idea of being paid.

The bottom line, I love retirement.

My Fondest Mercersburg Memories When Tex and I were proctors our senior year on the first floor of Swank Hall, we set up an intercom system between our room on the first floor and the proctor’s room on the second floor which entailed running a wire out of our window and into the proctor’s window on the second floor. One day Mr. Szekely asked me what we were going to do about this intercom system that was being used. Of course I thought he meant our system and spilled my guts! Turned out he meant the ninth-graders talking back and forth using the electrical outlets! Important lesson learned. Ask questions before admitting anything!!

Where Life Has Taken Me

THEN

My life since Mercersburg certainly would have not been predicted. After earning a graduate degree in Marine Botany most of my life has been working in shrimp aquaculture.

My work led me to live for 30 years outside of the U.S. in such places as Brazil, Burma, Thailand, Philippines, Ghana, Guatemala, and Belize. For 20 of those years I have been married to a Shan lady I met in Burma and with her had one son while living in Guatemala. I have been lucky to have been involved with creating much of the technology that provides most of the shrimp consumed in the world. I have lived an international life, with what many people think has been full of adventure and some incredible experiences.

What’s on the Horizon

NOW

I certainly would like to think of retirement at some time; but there always seems to be one more project I have an attraction for finishing and some of starting. One project today is transferring the shrimp technologies that made Asia such a success in shrimp culture to the Americas. I have new projects in Florida, Brazil, and Guatemala that I want to become models for the future of sustainable shrimp and aquaculture production. And someday, I would like to pen the adventures of a lifetime that have led to the development and evolution of the modern shrimp industry. Living through events and meeting characters that even today I cannot believe was my life.

My Fondest Mercersburg Memories Honestly there were not many fond memories of Mercersburg for the first five years after leaving. But with the passing of time; I would credit Mercersburg with more influences in my future than either my college or graduate educations. I still have words ringing in my head from teachers of Mercersburg: words of wisdom, encouragement, and sometimes criticism.

There was a culture shock moving to the north from the south in Florida and being introverted did not help; but learning to deal with introversion and cultural differences proved great life lessons for my future. And there were the simple things, like the unexpected free day, Saturday movies, pickup basketball, and my dread of English essays or Latin translations.

What’s on the Horizon On the horizon, I expect to retire in the next few years while Susan and I, and maybe my girls, will continue to travel. We will continue to explore new opportunities that we have yet to conquer.

My Fondest Mercersburg Memories NOW

Fondest, and not so much, memories are Field Day, Guard Duty, Jack’s, river rafting, collecting a big ball of string, still at school in the library, being a white coat, chapel services, and so many others.

Mercersburg was a great experience for a teenager from Oklahoma and it gave me a great growing period and really prepared me for college and life beyond. I hope to be able to attend many more reunions and see where the Academy heads to the future.

Where Life Has Taken Me

THEN

Well, in reality much of my life was Mercersburg. For 46 of my 68 years I was at Mercersburg. Having been inspired by my coaches and teachers when I was a student at Mercersburg, my goal after college and grad school was to return. During that time I met my wife, also a teacher at Mercersburg, had three sons graduate from Mercersburg, and had a chance to see my classmates children enriched 97 by the new Mercersburg. Over the years much has changed about the school but at its core the faculty and administration really cares about developing the whole student.

What’s on the Horizon

NOW

In June of 2019 we retired from Mercersburg and moved to our condo in Vero Beach, FL. Here we have been enjoying the great weather year-round and have traveled around the U.S. to see our kids and family as well as overseas, mostly to Central America. I am on the board of a foundation that raises money for a school in Costa Rica.

During the spring of 2017 I had a sabbatical and worked at the school in Costa Rica and lived with a host family. I have been helping out at two local places involved with environmental education.

My Fondest Mercersburg Memories My fondest memories at the ‘burg were the interactions with my dorm mates and teammates. Having lived there for so many years I have had a chance to see many of both from time to time. I also had a chance to catch up with several of the “old guard faculty” as they were now my peers and the ones that would stop by to visit.

After graduation I took a cross-country road trip with the Flanagans: Tom, Tim and Pete, and George Heindel. A jailbreak event!

As a freshman at Boston University, academics were far too easy. The next year I traveled the mid-Atlantic states doing a Census Bureau survey. I moved to Richmond, VA. and enrolled in classes at V.C.U. Later, I transferred to Syracuse Univ. (’75 B.A. Econ.)

In Richmond, I met my wife, Wickie, who’s career in Travel has benefited us with trips to Europe, the Caribbean, etc.

In the late 70’s I built our timber frame house. For 22 years I worked for the Thoroughbred Racing industry.

Since 1998 I have done work more preferable to me: home renovations. In the last decade, renovating historical structures.

What’s on the Horizon

NOW

I continue to work on historic structures on a reduced schedule; volunteer as a host/docent on local historic properties; serve on the Rustic Roads Advisory Committee of Montgomery Co., MD. My wife and I try to find more time with our 7 yr. old grandson, Rowan, and our daughter Ann and her husband in Nashville, TN, and our 15-monthold granddaughter, Isla, and our daughter Elizabeth and her husband in Beacon, NY. We are planning more domestic trips and to Europe with relatives and friends.

My Fondest Mercersburg Memories The campus facility impressed me in 1966, as it did my wife on her first visit just four years ago. The promise of place was further fulfilled by so many Mercersburg students and faculty who were smart, talented, or superbly mischievous individuals, in a concentration I haven’t experienced since. The basics learned there have benefited me throughout my life. The swim meets were spectacular. I was proud to contribute to the team effort, especially the ’69 football season. Like many of us I broke some rules. However, I believed in the Honor System. I believe Via Lucis is apt. For personal reasons I include Via Crucis. Recalling my time there has been a good lesson for me. Attending the Class of 70’s 50th will be better.

What’s on the Horizon I have recently retired and moved to Florida. I am volunteering as an English teacher to recent immigrants and serving on the board of an organization that provides support to migrant farm workers. It is conceivable that I could come out of retirement for a couple of years to serve as a consultant to churches in transition.

My Fondest Mercersburg Memories NOW

I have lots of memories of changing and growing over my four years at Mercersburg. I was especially appreciative of William Peace – an English teacher I had. I was impressed by the depth of feelings he had when he wept openly in class over the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr.

Where Life Has Taken Me

Inspired by Barry Bergh’s love of literature, I majored in American Civilization at Brown where I examined the impact of the frontier on the American character and spent two summers working as a cowboy in Nevada and Montana. I attended London School of Economics in my junior year which gave me a different perspective on America and an appreciation of England; I went to Harvard Business School to learn a trade; joined Brown Brothers Harriman & Company in 1976 and continued my education there working with excellent colleagues serving first-class clients.

There, I benefited from more fabulous mentors, including clients. I married Jeannie Hudson in 1980. She has taught me how to live, to enjoy the beauty, and to live in the moment. Our three children, Bart, Caroline, and Jeannie, and son-in-law, Mark, inspire us.

THEN

What’s on the Horizon I am passionate about investing in companies and nonprofits that are making a difference. I enjoy backing and helping resourceful management teams who are scaling and deepening their organization’s impact. We treasure time outdoors with friends and family. The current period of uncertainty makes Jeannie’s love of gardening and my love of fly fishing and golf, as well as our shared interest in walking, hiking, and biking that much more meaningful.

ticular level, some students enter a type of secondary school known as a private, or college preparatory schoo!.

These college preparatory schools are a unique and integral part of the American educational system.

They have a great number of educational advantages over other secondary schools in preparing the student for college. They also have some disadvantages.

The "good" or exemplary, students from many college preparatory schools will enter . college with a high degree of ability to study efficiently. This ability will enable the students to stay on top of the competition for the best performance in college-level work.

The students will also have some knowledge of how to budget their time.

This skill is necessarily developed as a result of having to live, for one to four years, a rigidly-ordered, systematic life governed by bells.

The students from .many college preparatory schools will carry with them to college a degree of discipline which has been regulated by, and dependent upon, a fixed set of rules and a rigid disciplinary system.

During discussions of a certain book held at faculty homes, two members deliver papers on book and/or author, and three members read essays concerning books being reae!.

This kind of format enables fervent challenge and discussion about the books, papers, and readings between the members.

The first meeting will be held at the home of Mr. Staley, Director of Admissions, on October 15. The second meeting, p'anned to be held at the residence of Assistant Headmaster Winebrenner in November, should prove most interesting and informative as Carlos Baker, renown author-

ity on Ernest Hemingway, will be present.

The proposed third meeting will be held at North Cottage, home of Headmaster Fowle, sometime in December and original papers will be discussed.

Truly, then, the Fifteen is perhaps the most honorable and elite organization at Mercersburg.

Many improvements were made in Mercersburg then, as now.

For example "a number of the rooms in the college building, or seminary, as it used to be called, have been put in

excellent condition, and furnished with entirely new furniture, by means of the liberality of the congregations at Frederick, Chambersburg, the Manor charge, and one or more individuals."

In 1969, Mercersburg has twelve Co-eds.

Basic Reasons Given For Rule Requiring The Wearing Of Coats And Ties In Town

By Steven Schauiele Many prep schools in the Eastern part of the country rule a "town-gown" relationship in which the students are expected to appear in. town in formal dress.

To know more about this ruling, a mythical reporter was sent to interview an administration member of an imaginary Eastern prep school.

"I understand your school requires your students to wear coats and ties in town. What have you to say about this?"

"Why, of course we require this of our students.

It shows respect of the townspeople. Now, over here, we have our grand - " "Just a minute, Mr. Melvin.

You say this shows respect for the townspeople on the part of the students.

How can a required behaviour pattern show real respect?"

"Well, sir, we try our best to make sure the requirement is not known.

Most of the townspeople and visitors do not know that the students are required to dress this way."

"And so, they naturally assume that the students do it of their own volition?"

"Naturally.

Visitors look in and they see our students dressed in this way, and they say, 'Oh, how nice!

Look at all those nice boys!'

They approve of it, you see, and this means they'll be more willing to give us money in support of this fine educational system which keeps its boys clean and decent."

"But isn't that dishonest?"

"Sir, when discussing the status quo, honesty makes no difference."

"What do you mean by the reference to the status quo?"

"Well, you must realize that the large part of the townspeople, as well as our visitors,

have a very poor opinion of the present-day youth.

And this is perfectly justifiable.

Today's youth are scruffy, unkempt, impudent, disobedient, unable to bow before authority, and a general nuisance to us. Well, we don't want the townspeople to think that our boys are like that.

If they thought that) they might stop putting up with us.

The same with our visitors.

If they thought our students were a bunch of scruffy- (ugh) -hippies, they might stop giving us money.

This is why we require our students to dress in this way.

We want the townspeople to realize that our student body is above the general rabble of today's youth.

If we can manage to get the townspeople and visitors to think that, we think we can keep their loyalty in paying up."

"But didn't you say that the reason for this requirement was to show respect towards the townspeople?"

"I never said that!

N ow, if you'll step in here - " "Hold it, Mr. Melvin.

You say you want the townspeople and the visitors to believe your students are of higher standards than youth in general.

Are they really?"

"Why, it's obvious!

Look at them!

See, they're all dressed in coats and ties, even!

N ow, how many young men do you know who have the decency to go around in coats and ties ?"

"Mr. Melvin, remember, that the reason they're in coats and ties is because you require it."

"What's this?

That's a lie!

You're a lier!

We certainly do not require it!

That would be dishonest!"

MISSION: At Mercersburg Academy we embrace the values of hard work, character, and community while learning to balance independence with interdependence and individual humility with collective pride.

Our students commit to a life of learning, seek to understand the spiritual nature of human existence, and develop a determination to lead and serve the world.

In 1918, the student editors of the Karux dedicated the edition of that yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s school yearbook to founding headmaster Dr. William Mann Irvine, describing his philosophy for the school as follows: Lofty ideals, great faith, noble integrity, and a ceaseless devotion to a mighty task, these are among the things which account for the meaning of Mercersburg.

Today, the school remains true to our founding values, which have endured over our 127-year history, while boldly embracing a future in education that will reflect a complex, changing world.

CORE VALUES: Lofty ideals We welcome and accept all in the tradition of our egalitarian spirit, expecting everyone to contribute fully to our community and to the world with imagination, gratitude, and love.

Great faith We believe in cultivating a faith in self (confidence); in others (trust); and in the future (hope).

Noble integrity We build strength of character that inspires generosity, authenticity, and responsibilityâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;when no one is looking and when everyone is looking.

Ceaseless devotion to a mighty task We nurture the desire to dream, the courage to persevere, and the will to achieve.
