U nd erlining m any of the reviews w ill be that old A m erican adage: “ If you can’t do, teach”. U nlike past generations and unlike our European friends, A m e rica does not esteem educators or intellec­ tuals. The self-taught, self-m ade tycoon is still our national hero. As the national debate on education continues, so does th e national undervaluing of teachers.

A

Like all professions, teaching requires specialized knowledge and a long and intensive academic preparation. Virtually every teacher at MKA has engaged in postgraduate study, and half have e ithe r a m aster’s or doctoral degree in their field. In addition to this specialized know ledge, they are expected to understand the developm ental patterns of children and to be a guide and inform al co un selor for them . U nlike o the r professions, however, te a ch in g is hig hly regulated, even to the point

w here p ub lic school system s choose texts, lesson plans and exam inations w itho ut co nsu ltin g the individual teacher. Teachers are also open to pub lic criticism and scru tin y in a way that o ther professionals are not. Law of­ fices and hospitals do not reveal th e ir success rates publicly, but test results of school children are printed an­ nually in the newspapers. O ne m ight hope that this public scrutin y w ould lead to an understanding of the teaching profession, but the opposite seem s to be true. The public view of te ach ing is that it is an easy job, runs from 9:00 to 2:30, and has w onderful vacations. N othing could be fu rth e r from the truth!

E lem entary teachers, w ho w ork in w hat we call a con­ tained classroom , are w ith young children approxim ately six hours a day. In addition to classroom tim e, th ey m ust prepare classes, get m aterial to ge th er and correct the c h ild re n ’s w ork. They attend tw o to three hours of m eetings each w eek, and w ith o the r teachers, evaluate the progress of th e ir students and develop program s. In addition, they spend m any hours talking w ith the parents of the child re n they teach. Like m ost professionals, th e ir w ork w eek is m uch longer than fo rty hours.

T he prim ary te ach er is p articula rly concerned w ith the d eve lo pm e nt of each child. Too m uch has been w ritten and discovered about the im portance of th e e arly years for any te ach er to take th e task lightly. In the elem entary grades a child develops his or her self image, social skills and basic learning skills. It is p a rticu la rly critica l that a child be happy at school durin g these years, fo r unhappy experiences tend to h am per fu tu re success. In addition to a know ledge of ch ild developm ent, the e lem entary te ach er needs to understand how to teach all the basic learning skills: reading, w riting, speaking, calculating and jud gin g. In addition, just as children’s social and physical m aturation d iffer from each other, so does th e ir in te lle c­ tual developm ent. Thus in any classroom one can expect to find a four-year span of intellectual developm ent. A te ach er m ust structure th e classroom so th a t fo ur levels can go on sim u ltan e ou sly w ith o u t giving those in the up­ per level a swelled head and those in the lower level a poor self image. T he m anagem ent te ch n iq u e s needed are q uite sophisticated.

T here are trem e nd ou s satisfactions in th e role of a p ri­ m ary teacher. N othing is m ore satisfying than seeing a child blossom and develop, and every te ach er takes ju stifia b le p ride in the e no rm ou s strides m ade in ju s t one school year by each of her students. But these successes are not w ith o u t cost. Teachers find th e ir jobs exhausting

T he train in g of the secondary teacher closely parallels th a t of a u niversity professor. They are generally sp ecialists in one, or at m ost tw o areas, and have a real love for their discipline. They are genuinely enthralled with th e beauty of m athem atics, the co m p le xity of social studies, or the richness of literature. It is th is love of a par­ tic u la r d is c ip lin e th a t has attracted m any of them to the fie ld of te ach ing . But know ledge and skill in th e ir subject area is not sufficien t; te ach ers also have to know how to w ork w ith adolescents, cu rb th e ir excesses and channel th e ir energy. In this age, secondary teachers are also

asked to help prevent almost all of society’s problems: they are to educate children so they will not abuse drugs and alcohol, teach them about family life so they will be better parents and spouses, and make them aware of the needs and shortcomings of our society.

The complexity of the task defies description.

both e m o tion ally and physically. A nyone w ho has run a birthday party for a group of children knows how d em and­ ing they can be, how m uch preparation is needed and how dra in e d th ey are at th e end. For a prim ary teacher, the b irth da y party o ccurs each day. T he structure of schools also deprives te ach ers of m uch contact w ith th e ir co l­ leagues. The yearning for a dult conversation can be over­ pow ering after six hours w ith e ig ht year olds!

T he secon da ry te ach er has a slig h tly d ifferen t profes­ sion. Rather than spending six hours a day w ith the sam e group of students, he or she m eets fo ur or five d ifferent g roups of adolescents. Each te ach er w orks w ith approx­ im ately fifty different students in one or two subject areas.

T he tim e in the classroom runs from three to five hours a day, but preparation and correction of tests and papers use up m any m ore hours. In addition, teachers are asked to enforce rules, help th e ir young charges becom e aware and considerate of others, coach, advise and/or organize activities. They are present with the students at lunch, they chaperone d ances and outings, and listen fo r hours on end to the excited or d isco ura ge d co nversation of teenagers.

W hat kind of a person w ould e m b ark on a te ach ing ca­ reer? W h ile no tw o te a ch e rs are alike, and no characterization is true of an entire profession, there are th in g s w hich seem tru e of m ost teachers. First and forem ost, th ey are idealistic. They w ork w ith and love ideas, and toy w ith intellectual so lu tion s to cu rren t prob­ lems. Teachers tend to be m ore stim ulated by intellectual p ursuits than by m ate ria listic ones, and pragm atism falls low on th e ir list of virtues. M ost em pathize w ith school child re n and try to help them succeed and be happy w ith th em selves. Faculties, as a whole, tend to enjoy cultural a ctivities such as concerts and plays, to engage in hot in­ te lle ctu a l debate and have an u nderlying tru st in the goodness of m ankind. They are more discouraged by the co nsta nt negative criticism of the p u b lic than th ey are by th e low rem uneration offered them .

T here are no easy so lu tion s to im proving A m erica’s educatio na l system , and no ready cu lp rits to blame.

Rather, the com plex w eb of structures and tra d itio n s that fe tte r sch oo ls m ust be reexam ined and altered. T he peo­ ple m ost suited to red esig ning schools are th e faculty.

However, if faculty are to initiate change, they m ust be paid to w ork to ge th er w ith o u t students present. T his m eans th a t som e sig n ific a n t am o un t of tim e durin g “va cations” needs to be spent in cu rriculum evaluation and planning.

Individu al sch oo ls m ust be allow ed to set the standards and goals for th e ir institutions. Teachers m ust be paid suf­ fic ie n tly for th e ir ch a lle n g in g and com plex profession.

M ost fa cu lty m em bers w ork all sum m er in o rd er to m ake ends m eet. In fact, the average teaching sa la ry in private sch oo ls for th e 1983-84 school year w as under $18,000, and in pub lic sch oo ls it was under $22,000. T hese sa la ­ ries are to ta lly o ut of line w ith the responsibility, training,

im portance and d ifficu lty of the teaching career.

One way of judging the intrinsic values of a society is to note the care and importance it gives to its youth.

Until America believes that educating its children is more important than manufacturing widgets, building skyscrapers or amassing money, we will continue to have a crisis in education. The com m unity, church and even the fa m ily are playing a less sig n ifica n t role in the upb rin ging of our child re n than they w ere a generation ago, and the schools have taken up the slack. We’re for­ tunate that m any men and w om en still choose teaching as a career, but we need to provide the tim e, prestige and fin an cia l rem uneration that w ill m ake the profession at­ tractive to the very best of today’s college graduates.

Notes From Around MKA New Appointm ents Colleen Corcoran Director of External Affairs

Colleen Corcoran, Director of External Affairs

Colleen Corcoran has been Director of External Affairs for MKA since July 1, 1984.

Claiming the Bay Area of California as her, original home, she is joyfully fulfilling a long standing fantasy to live and work in the East. “Dr. O’Connor’s early morning telephone call confirming my appointm ent marked the beginning of a series of wonderful new experiences. I am delighted to be in the posi­ tion of representing MKA because I share her goals and admire her strengths. I am deeply Impressed with MKA’s administration, trus­ tees, parents, faculty and stu­ dents—and I am thrilled with the competent, energetic, successful staff working in the Office of External Affairs.”

Colleen completed her

undergraduate education at Holy Names C ollege In Oakland, California and did graduate work at San Fran­ cisco State University, Santa Clara University and the University of San Francisco.

A fter several years of teaching a diverse spectrum of subjects to students in grades seven through twelve, she developed, organized and administered the first comprehensive development program for a private high school ran San Francisco.

When that same school sought capital funds, she coordinated the effort. Her most recent assignment was in alum ni relations and development at a private university in Salem, Oregon.

Adventure, change and ex­ citement appear to typify the lifestyle of Colleen and her family. “We are a tremendous source of strength and en­

While Avalin Green ¡¡s not new at NIKA, she carries a new title and increased responsibilities. She will be sharing her very special skills from a different perspective, that of Assistant Principal, operating a few doors down the hall from Dr. O’Connor's office on the Middle School campus. Av will be involved in long-range curriculum plan­ ning, K-12, and overseeing the humanities areas. She will also be concerned with faculty developm ent, inhouse workshops and con­ sultants, and ind ivid ua l grants.

This past July, Av directed a workshop in reading and language arts for teachers of grades K-4. The University of Pennsylvania granted three semester credits of graduate work to the participants.

Av received her BA from Middlebury College, Vermont, did graduate work at Bridgewater State College in Massachusetts, received an MA in Special Education, with a concentration on learning disabilities, from the Univer­ sity of Virginia and is currently working towards a Ph.D from the University of Pennsylva­ nia. Av join ed NIKA in September 1980. She and her husband Gary, are the parents of Gordon, a sophomore at NIKA, and Jill and Eric, 1983 NIKA graduates.

1984-85’s new officers, Chris Smith, Melissa Brad­ ley and Michelle Brantley and two new faculty advisors, Sarah Spieldenner and David Motley, plan to continue the organization’s major fundraisers and expand the o rg an izatio na l a ctivitie s beyond the confines of MKA.

The Teaching of Writing

by Nathan Fuller Nathan A. Fuller, upper school English teachepis taking a sabbatical leave for the 1984-85 school year. In July he was a visiting fellow in the English Department at Princeton University, with a grant from the National Endowment for the Human­ ities, and in the fall will attend workshops and do independent research in writing across the cur­ riculum with Toby Fulwiler at the University of Ver­ mont. During the year he will prepare a handbook of writing for the entire school and next spring will hold a series of cross-curricula« writing seminars for the faculty.

In this article Mr. Fuller discusses his thoughts on writing: From my observations and readings so far, it occurs to me that in the teaching of writing the Academy has not succumbed to some trends in American education, aptly noted by novelist Bruce Price: ‘For thousands of years, edu­ cators were chiefly concerned with filling heads with facts.

That is, Truth. There was one guiding principle: students should learn the best, most sp le nd id example and achievements supplied by the culture. There is Beauty. The triumph of modern American education is that Truth and Beauty are in eclipse. The em­ phasis has fled from fact and exemplary to nurturing and positive reinforcement, which sounds fine but in practice seems to mean gentling the delicate darlings into mute and stupid adulthood.’* Now we do not indulge in “gentling the dHicate dar­ lings”; ||a ll subjects we insist uporfffacts, detpplj and il­ lustration s : ito explain and develop our thought or feel­

6

ing. Nevertheless, in some writing seminars, there is a sickening penchant for letting permissive slush pass for writing. Such permissiveness demeans the mind. It’s in­ tellectually dishonest and se lffln d u lg e n t.

Let the Great Work be the authority, whether it be a play, a theo­ rem, a painting, a person, or, better yet, a choice piece of student writing. Let’s learn all we can about™ think about it, write about it, and in that proc­ ess learn more about it.”

In other words, let’s not have the reader, teacher or student, author or authorize the ideas of the writer. We must look to the text f ir s t s define words as necessary, assimilate ideas if possible, before we impose our own interpretation, Our primary responsibility is to encourage, cajole, demand that students respect the power and integ­ rity of the given language in atl'fts detail and refinement, BEFORE drawing conclu­ sions. Personal reactions and fiery intellectual exchange produce the beautiful al­ chemy of the classroom, but no matter how hot the argu­ ment, honest analysis must take precedence over sloppy inference. We must base our discussion and our writing on

a thorough understanding of the text.

It is this approach that I hope to take in the faculty seminars next spring, and I hope, too, that all teachers will candidly involve themselves in exchanging ideas about how we can improve writing instruction in all disciplines at all levels.

Towards this end, I have been harboring a plan to prepare, with the help of faculty and students, a simple guide to form, technique and style, as a first concrete step towards our principal objec­ tive of developing throughout the school some common understanding about writing.

We need such a handbook, for with some justification students erroneously believe that they write one way for biology, another for history, another for English, and so on. Certainly different courses make different de­ mands, but the writing proc­ ess remains basically the same for all. And the fun­ damental matters of form may provide a good base for building better understanding of how to teach writing in these disparate subjects. The format for cover sheets on papers, for instance, can be the same for all courses.

And as a matter of standard American practice, commas and periods always go inside quotation marks, regardless of the logic. Petty matters in­ deed, and easy to grasp —all the more reason they should be standardized, especially in grades seven through twelve.

In my brief but fruitful ex­ perience with third-grade students this spring, for ex­ ample, I found that I could get good critical responses to the same questions I ask seniors or sophomores: “The man went into the woods. The man was a scientist. He discov­ ered the secret weapon” writes the third grader to­ wards the beginning of his story about the year 2222.

With a few directed questions like “Don’t you think we could say the same thing in fewer! words? How about combining sentences?” savvy third grader com es up with something like “The scientist went into the woods and found (discovered?) the se­ cret weapon.” Don’t we en­ courage similar efforts for; economy at all levels? I think we do, but perhaps we can do more of it.

In any case, the prospect of helping faculty and students coordinate a K-12 interdiscipli­ nary writing program, I find exciting indeed.

Whatever we do, then, for form, style, content, and creativity, perhaps we should take as our credo an admoni­ tion from the late Dag Ham­ marskjöld: “Respect for the word —to employ it with scru­ pulous care and incorruptible heartfelt love of truth —is essential if there is to be any growth.fin society or in the human race.”®*t “ ‘English and Education,” Princeton Alumni Weekly, May 1 6*9 84

Faculty Notes Tom Adair Retires After twenty-two years at M on tclair Academ y and MKA, Thomas Adair, Upper School French teacher, has retired.;wlr. Adair graduated from Montclair Academy in 1943, graduated from Lafayette College, studied at the Sorbonne in Paris, served in the combat engineers and the air corps during World War II and received an MA from Columbia University. In 1951, he began his career at M on tclair Academ y and fondly remembers teaching with the same faculty that taught him. Speaking with great reverence of William Avery Barras, Claude Monson and William Miller, Mr. Adair said, “These men taught me values, not just knowledge.” At the end of the year faculty meeting, Upper School math teacher, David Doster, who began his teaching career at MKA in the foreign language department, commented: “I feel the same way today about Tom as he felt about those teachers. He is a man who has given very generously of him selw .

Pat Parke, first grade teacher at the Primary School will be on maternity leave un­ til January. Vida Welsh is planning a sabbatical during the second semester of the 1984-85 school year. She will use this time to complete her Masters degree. Mrs. Welsh plans to enroll in a degree program at Columbia Univer­ sity, attend class on a parttime basis during the summer and fall of 1984 and complete the degree requirements as a full-time student by June 1984. There is a unique pro­ gram at Columbia U. which particularly interests her. It of­ fers a degree in the depart-

Mr. Adair continued to teach at Montclair Academy’s Summer School during those years he taught at Collegiate School in New York City. In 1967, he returned to Montclair Academy to teach in the school building now located on Lloyd Road and stayed through the merger and evo­ lution of Montclair Kimberley Academy.

As to his retirement, he says, 7 shall feel a great loss at leaving behind both the faculty and the students of MKA. I have always felt it has been a great privilege to have been a member of the team of such a stimulating intellectual institution. I have witnessed so many positive changes in administration during the past twenty-two years. I feel confident that MKA will con­ tinue to be a leader in the progressive education of the future. I would like the stu­ dents I am leaving behind to know that I leave with them great respect, affection and confidence that they will con­ tinue to build a future of which we shall all be proud!”

There is no doubt he will be missed. But he will be re­ membered, as David Doster

No sooner had the cleats, pads, sticks, soccer balls and all other outdoor parapher­ nalia been put away than we heard the sounds of balls dribbling, swords slashing, and water splashing In the gyms and pools of MKA’s three campuses.

The girls’ varsity basket­ ball team started its season very strongly with a 4-1 rec­ ord,- including securing the championship of the Rutgers Prep Invitational Christmas Tournament. Captain Judy Brown led the team on the court and in garnering honors. She received the team’s Coach’s Award and was its Most Valuable Player, in addition to being chosen first team All-State in the A Division and the Star Ledger, and being All-Area honorable mention In the Herald News.

The boys’ varsity basket­ ball team finished with a 12-11 record, including two post season tournaments. Mark McGowan was the team’s

MVP, and John Pellecchia received the Coach’s Award.

David Hutchinson and Mark McGowan shared the post season honors, both re­ ceiving NJISAA B Division honorable mention, and N.J. Prep League recognition.

MKA’s swimmers, com­ peting in the newly refur­ bished pool, swam to an overall record of 6-6. Team honors went to Pam Dwyer, Coach’s Award, and Donnie Calder, Most Im proved swimmer.

The ice hockey team, de­ spite a limited number of players, skated to a hardearned 9-7-3 record. The team gained the Gordon Cup play­ offs, and qualified for two state tournaments: the A Divi­ sion Tournament of the In­ dependent Schools and the over-all State Tournament.

The departing seniors will be sorely missed, but we hope that the present juniors and sophomores will maintain our fine hockey tradition.

John Towers and Charles Schulman were first team A Division All-Leaguers and Doug Keh and Jason O’Neill received honorable mention.

MVP’s were John Towers and Charles Shulman. Tad Cohn received the Coach’s Award.

Volleyball, both varsity and JV, had very fine seasons, reaching the finals of the State Tournament. The varsity posted a 14-6 record and the JV were 10-3. Four MKA girls were placed on AllState teams, captain, Michele Mucci, Janet Phillips and C harlotte Hart on the NJISWAA A Division first team, with Maryanne DeCandia receiving honorable mention. The Coach’s Award went to Michele Mucci and MVP to Janet Phillips, who was also MVP of the M orristow n-B eard In vita ­ tional.

The fencers, boys and girls, had another outstanding season. The boys had a 9-4 record and the girls fenced to a perfect 11-0 mark. Bob Cottingham was NJSIAA first team All-State and Rob Iver­ son was NJSIAA second team All-State. They also received the team’s awards, Rob the Coach’s Award and Bob, MVP. Cathy Humphrey and Karen Ladenheim led the girls’ team with first team NJSIAA All-State selections, Kelly Iverson received the Coach’s Award, Adrienne Amirata, Most Improved, and Karen Ladenheim, MVP. Upper School girls’ la­ crosse made history this year by having the largest turnout ever—84—for any team at MKA. The varsity was cap­ tained by Ande Gabriel, Heather Gibson and Lisa Gibson. Team awards went to Lisa Gibson, MVP, and Heather Gibson, Coach’s Award.

Varsity baseball had a 76 record, winning five games in a row through the crux of the State Tournament, thus reaching the Championship round. Team awards were garnered by John Pellecchia

who led the team in offensive statistics and was MVP, and David Hutchinson, who gained the Coach's Award.

John Pellecchia was named to the NJISAA B division first team All-State, and catcher Tony Michelotti was named to the division’s second team.

MKA’s softball team had its best season record ever, a terrific 12-3 mark. Coach’s Award went to Judy Brown and MVP to Maigann Westfall. Both girls also made AllState teams, as did Donna Del Gaizo and Karen Vlaskamp.

Our golf team proved to be the most pleasant surprise of the spring season. First year coach Jeanne Mersch and her team brought home the first state championship of the season by winning the Prep B Division Tourna­ ment at Lawrenceville and then the Essex C ounty Coaches’ Association Tourna­ ment Championship. Though the team’s success was due to the consistency of its top five players, allowing the team to qualify for the public school State Tournament, the stand­ out and MVP was Mark McGowan.

Boys’ varsity lacrosse went through its tenth year at MKA with its best season ever. The team record of 14-1, compiled against both public and private schools, was among the best In the state, finishing sixth in the State’s Top Ten. Ten seniors led the team to the Garden State League Championship, and special recognition was given to MVP’s Darrin O’Neill and Ed Conlin, and to Dave Fehnel, who won the Coach’s Award. Ed Conlin was not only chosen to the Star Ledger All-State first team, but he received unprec­ edented All-American honors as well.

Topping off this highly successful season would seem an impossible ac­ complishment, but the boys’ tennis team did just that! In posting a season record of 22-

1, the team brought cham­ pionship after championship to MKA, winning the Newark Academy Invitational, the Essex County Coaches’ Asso­ ciation Tournament Champi­ onship, the A and B Division Parochial Championships, the Public School State C ham pionship and the NJSIAA over-all State Cham­ pionship.

Each member of the team received Prep and over-all AllState honors, Seth Antiles received the Coach’s Award and Mark Pineda, who had an outstanding individual rec­ ord of 30-0 for the season, received MVP. To add to the honors and celebrations, long time coach Bob Hemmeter was deservedly named the Star Ledger Tennis Coach of the Year! Having been desig­ nated the state’s number one team in the Star Ledger’s pre­

season polls, the team lived up to expectations and ended the season as Number One in the State!

Thus a very successful year came to its conclusion.

However, no one rested on his or her laurels, as was evidenced by the sports camps which took place over the summer, showing that MKA’s athletes and coaches are already looking forward, and working hard to prepare for the 1984-85 seasons.

This school year is a very significant one as MKA celebrates the 10th anniversary of the merger between The Kimberley School and Montclair Academy. Many festivities are planned for the year,including an invitation to the Class of 1975 to join the Class of 1985 at its gradua­ tion ceremonies on June 9, 1985.

I look forward to seeing many of you at Homecoming on September 29. This year the classes celebrating their 10th, 20th, 25th, 30th, 40th, 50th and 60th reunion will be honored at a special luncheon given by Principal Frances R. O’Connor.

I would very much like to thank outgoing Alumni Coun­ cil members, Austin Drukker ’52, Jules Halm ’49, Miriam Eustis Irwin ’51, Helen Bryant Perry’58, Elizabeth Specht ’44, Brian Thomas ’74 and Cornelia Wiesing '50, for outstanding service to the school during their terms of of­ fice. Nominating Chairs, Nela Wiesing and Lynn Towner Dodd, have presented a slate of nominees for election at the annual meeting of the Alumni Association on Satur­ day, September 29, 1984, at 10:30 a.m. in the Upper School library on Lloyd Road.

ALUMNI ASSOCIATION COUNCIL NOMINEES: Margaret Crawford Bridge ’65, Curtis E. Brunner 78, Elizabeth O’Neill Coopersmith 72, Steven T. Dodd 79, Julie Ruddick ’80, Kit Eavenson Sanders ’41, Charles Y. Small ’58.

MKA Principal Frances R. O’Connor, Ed.D., has described MKA as a vital, thriving institution, educating more than a thou­ sand students in grades kindergarten through twelve. The first decade has seen two fine, established schools merge and become a new entity.

PAMKA’s Tenth Anniversary Gala proved to be a most fitting opening to a year of celebration as it combined friendship, the enthusiasm of working for a valid cause, and the excitement of belonging to a winning team!

Bari-Lynn Schwartz, PAMKA President, announced that thanks to capable co-chairs Susan Sorger and Muriel Windolf and their incredibly hard-working committees, more than $50,000 has already been credited to the Tenth Anniversary Fund.

The elegant dinner, held at the former Gates Mansion, cur­ rently owned and generously shared by MKA parents, Dr. and Mrs. Kenneth DiStefano, was followed by a fabulous auction in the Upper School dining room.

He first served in India at the headquarters of Mahatma G andhi,'and then termed a spiritual community .in Jerusalem. He. is now in Hong Kong working among the poor and underprivileged.

Dot Ayres Holt spent May at the ancestral home in Versailles, KY, which she owns jointly with a cousin and a cousin-in-law.

They’ve decided to sell the property, which is a wrench, but with her usual prac­ tical philosophy Dot says.^jjpmes change.”

She had knee surgery In June and hopes for better locomotion; sitting still is not what Dot does best.

Louise (Chip) Stauffen Barnard and Frank have traveled extensively but took their first cruise last winter aboard a Royal Viking ship » ro ug h the Panama Canal.

Chip says she could become addicted to this mode of travel.

Helen Dayton Masson and Don have two new great grandchildren. I don’t remember about Don but Helen was an only child and I’d say she has done rather well to be the matriarch of 3 chi&ren, 10 grand­ children and 4 great grands!

Mary Youngman Ayer wrote me for the first time. (Take note all you who remain silent). She was in Massachusetts for the graduation of a granddaughter. Mary went to Smith and I wonder if her granddaughter did too, and if so whether she knows my son who teaches there. It’s fun when life catches up with itself. Mary keeps busy with garden­ ing and community activities. She also takes In people for bed and breakfast (on referral) at her home in Berlin, NH, and says It’s fun and Interesting.

My sister, Jo Russell Peniston '26, and I spent the month of March at the Gasparllla Inn In Boca Grande. I really had more than my share of winter vacationing as I went to Tortola In the British Virgin Islands with my children and grandchildren, in February.

TKS Miss Charlotte H. Fitch Box 45 Cape Bial Lane Westport Point, MA 02791 Quite a backlog of news this time because I missed the “Spring” edition: Ginny Hamilton Adair had a wonderful time last summer on her customary canal trips combined with festivals in England.

This year she plans something quite dif­ ferent. She and her daughter, Katharine, em­ barked on a Balkan adventure, starting ¡1 London on June 6, then on to a trip downThe Danube with time in Vienna, Budapest, Belgrade, Vidin, Sofia and Rustchuk.

Laura Hurd Motion and Bob have been ly in g up to their name! A couple of years ago they had a great trip in Asia, including Japan, much of the People’s Republic of China, Hong Kong, Singapore and Bang­ kok. This past year they made frequent visits to their daughter in Houston, and their son in Covington, LA. While in New Orleans, they visited the World’s Fair. Laura went to her 50th reunion at Bryn Mawr in May and planned to spend the summer In Madison, CT. Had a great note from Harriet Laffey Files from Monroe, LA. She was also hop­ ing to go to the World’s Fair as she is fairly nearby. She has her 50th reunion at W heato|«n '85 when we hope to lure her east for a visit.

Marge McComb Sexton thought she had missed the deadline as they were on a fishing expedition when the request for news went out. Her life continues wlthiitfie same interests and occupations she has formerly reported.

Do Minsch Hudson and your secretary both enjoyed their 50th reunion at Smith in May. The Hudsons had a good trip In Oc­ tober 1983 to Ireland, Plymouth, England, to see the “Mary Rose,” Amsterdam, and back to London. Do’s twin granddaughters

will graduate from Hood College next year* Connie Parkhurst Chauncey reports Pearce is doing much better and they took a trip to Hilton Head with Connie’s sister Marjorie Parkhurst Sommer '23 and her husband Henry. When she wrote, the Chauncey’s had just returned from a visit to Sanibel Island and were headed for summer in Maine on May 25.

If you have any trouble on any rapid tran­ sit vehicles, |§|st get in touch with Jeanne Price Goodlatte’s son Dick, (A. Richardson Goodlatte). He is Chief Mechanical Officer of the New York City Transit Authority, with 6,000 vehicles in his charge! Dick and his wife, Joan, plan to move to the New York area in September. Their younger son, An­ drew. will be a freshman at C. W. Post U. this fall. Son Douglas has two more years at Springfield College. Daughter Ginny lives in New York City where she manages the res­ taurant at Sheraton City Square on 7th Av­ enue. Jeanne will now have good reason for going to New York.

Jeanne’s son, BilBlives in the Boston area, and is still senior vice president, per­ sonnel, for Jordan Marsh in Boston. Pete Goodlatte is a vocational rehabilitation spe­ cialist for the V.A. in Washington D.C. He has two children. This brings us up to date on Jeanne’s children. She, herself, Is working on a history of stone quarrying in East Longmeadow for which she received a Massachusetts Arts Council grant. She says she seems “to keep busy even though ‘retired’. ” You will all be saddened by the news of Ruth Kilgore Murray’s death. Those of us who got to our 50th reunion at MKA were glad to see her then and we shall all re m e m b e re r as '29’s lovely May Queen.

Our sympathy to all members of her family.

Frances Fernald Draper came to visit me after her 50th reunion at Wellesley last year. Jeanne Price Goodlatte joined us for reminiscences of the past and for catching up on the years betweehHn^une, Frances had a good trip to Canada.

Throughout the year Ed has been honored by Deerfield Acad­ emy's Board of Trustees, alum rm and students, as well as other schools. Squash coaches honored h S at P fB p s Exeter Academy last winter, naming him “the dean and mentor of prep school squash.” His rec­ ord of winning seasons and undefeated squash and tennis teams is unmatched in New England preparatory schools. He has also produced many national champions.

Former players returned to Deerfield as a surprise for us on May 6 and a special tennis tournament, cocktail party and dinner were given in his honor. We were both truly over­ whelmed and friends came from all over the country. Headmaster Robert Kaufmann presented him with a volume of letters from alumm? remarking that “no one will ever know the Incredible impact Ed Reade has prad on;the lives of hundreds of Deerfield boys.” We w lH freasure these and our associations forever! Several farewell par­ ties have been given for us and luncheons for me by the Vassar Club and Bement School. Leaving on such a joyous and trium­ phant note eases the pain of parting somewhat from this beautiful community and excellent school where we have spent our entire married life, Ed having started his careen1fW946. We will make our permanent home on Martha’s Vineyard and look forward to a new life there tremendously.

Alumni Profile Tewksbury Wine Cellars Lynn Ritter Vernon ’64 and her husband, Dan, own and operate largest winery in west-central New Jersey at their farnfljn Lebanon, New Jersey.

They produce dry table wines, aperitrajand fruit wines. Since opening their doors for wine tastings, tours and sales irH980, they have amassed Saumerous awards from national and interna­ tional wine competitions. Last year they won one of the 11 gold medals in the largest wine com­ petition in North Am erica—the Eastern Silites Wine Competi­ tion. They have received a silver medal and best in class for their Apple Wine and bronze medals for their Rosé de Chardonnay and Chambourcin wines. Frank Prial, New York Times wine ex­ pert, recently commented on the Tewksbury wines and a pictorial story onjfthe winery appeared in the November/December 1983 issue of C olonial Homes Magazine.

The vineyard, consisting of al­ most 19,000 vines, enjoys an ideal location with southern exposure behind the beautiful 18th century farm house in the rolling hills of Hunterdon County, New Jersey.

When asked how they got Into the business of wine making, Lynn explained: It started out as a hobby.

Dan and I used to go to all the local food markets on Mondays and buy up the previous week’s produce. We made wine from cantaloupes, prunes, plums, bananas, grapes, anything that was in season. Some of it was good, some terrible. We even made wine out of apple cider, using raisins and sugar. In­ evitably, a five gallon jug would explode and we would wake up in the morning to find raisins stuck on the ceiling! Well, we got a little more sophisticated and took classes in winemak­ ing—how to control fermenta­ tion, how to correct acid im­ balance and so forth. Using grapes from Pennsylvania, we began receiving compliments from our friends, then we really started producing some very good wines.

At that time, the late 70’s, the fields behind the Vernon’s home were à'iì in hay and considered a working farm which Lynn ran.

Dan is a veterinary surgeon and the barn was used as an animal hospital which Lynn also man­ aged changing bandages, giving whirlpool baths, and administer­ ing medicines to the animals. To­

26

1964:

Lynn Ritter Vernon

gether they raised 30 head of cat­ tle, veal calves, thoroughbred horses, pigs, chickens and tur­ keys. Nowadays they have just one cow, a couple of young heifers and a dog. The barn is now full of enormous fermenting vats and the horse stalls contain wooden barrels in which the wine is aged. Dan’s surgery and animal hospital are in a nearby town.

Before they had any outside help, Lynn and their children, Shelby, Skye and Tyler, who are now 14, 12 and 7, would climb inside the 720 gallon barrels and scrub them clean.

The vineyard was planted in various stages. The first planting, in 1979, encompassed ithree acres of French hybrid, cham­ bourcin and rayon d’or grapes.

The following year Lynn and Dan added 12 acres of chardonnay vines which are a grafted vine that is very delicate and difficult to grow. The summer of 1980 was hot and dry and a lot of vines were lost in spite of being handwatered every day. In 1981 they planted Johannesburg Riesling and Gewurztraminer. The latter grape produces a very dry, spicy wine which the writer, alumni director, Judy Allen, really enjoyed!

Last year was the first year the entire vineyard bore fruit.

Lynn said, We had a pretty hot and dry summer last year and the tomato crops in South Jersey withered on the vines. A local television station did a piece on the vineyard because the grapevines, with their 15 to 20 feet deep tap roots, thrive when other agricultural produces are dying on the vine, in fact, 1983 was a superb year for wine in New Jersey.

According to Lynn, the soil in

their vineyard, and in New Jersey in general, is very much like that of France, a gravel-like loam, which holds the heat in the night­ time, drains well and is ideal for the growing of grapes.

Before p ro h ib itio n , New Jersey was one of the foremost wine-making states in the coun­ try. It is now one of the largest wine-consuming states. In fact the Department of Agriculture in New Jersey is looking at viticul­ ture as a way to keep New Jersey green and has encouraged the establishment of numerous vine­ yards and wineries. Traditionally farmers plant the less profitable crops, such as corn, every year and get very little return for their investment. Whereas with grapes, once the vines are planted, they last 30 years if prop­ erly tended.

Tewksbury Wine Cellars pro­ duces eight different wines, cater­ ing to a variety of tastes. Lynn told a story about a very ‘different’ wine which they produced last year, Rosé de Chardonnay.

We had been working hard all summer putting up trellises in a new part of the vineyard: everybody was tired. One after­ noon, John, our manager, was pumping, or racking, the wine

and he put the wrong hose in the wrong tank and did not realize it until he went to bed that night. In fact he had pumped one third of the red wine into our white chardon­ nay, making it an instant rosé, which, of course, is not the way to make rosé. Well, we decided to create a really wild label on which we told the story and we entered the wine into a com­ petition winning a bronze medal! At the awards banquet people flocked to our table to taste our Rosé de Chardonnay!

Lynn and Dan now have four full-time employees and addi­ tional help on weekends and at harvesting time. Dan is the wine maker, although maintaining Els veterinary practice, and Lynn manages the business details: publicity, sales, tours, bookkeep­ ing and special events. They hold festivals and wine tastings and will cater wine and cheese parties anywhere in the state. The vineyard is well worth a visit. Wine tasting and vineyard tours are available on weekends and the surrounding countryside is dotted with picturesque towns which boast some marvelous antique stores.

Alumni Profile Avie Kalker ’68 is both a cer­ tified personal property ap­ praiser and a lecturer in an­ tiques at Brookhaven College and the University of Texas at Dallas. She leads seminars and is a Dallas agent for Daniel J. Witek, Antiquary, with invest­ ment portfolios in Faberge and precious objects. Excerpts from an article by Avie in Park Cities People Appraising Apprais­ ers—is reprinted here: Reprinted from PARK CITIES PEOPLE You read the daily papers faithfully. The neighbor down the street had another burglary. Last Saturday night there was a fire two blocks away . . . and what about the rash of apartment fires n North Dallas? Oh well, you say, I’ve got a new, expensive burglar alarm and smoke detectors, why should I worry. I'll never have any trouble. Besides, you say, my in­ surance agent says all i have to do if. there Is a crisis, is list everythingpnd my sales receipts and they’ll take care of me.

You thought you took all of the necessary precautions until the loss. It’s been several months and trying to remember m u c fflo f anything about the contents of the jewelry case, or the silver chest, or how old that picture frame of mother was, is getting tougher to do. The insurance ad­ justers are getting touchy about the lists. Not enough documenta­ tion of ownership they say. We may have to settle.

Have these thoughts crossed your mind only to be put aside for seemingly more urgent and more Important M atters? Maybe you have had someone In to look at your things five years ago or thought you’d get around to hav­ ing an appraisal done sometime.

Protecting your possessions whether they be family treasures or items being considered for ac­ quisition aresll worthy of evalua­ tion. Appraisals are being In­ creasingly utilized prior to a move, for insurance coverage, authen­ tication, re-sale, tax donations, and divorce and estate set­ tlement.

Who is an appraiser anyway?

What do they do, where do you find one, and what should you expect?

An appraiser Is an indepen­ dent professional providing a service that assists the buyer, col­ lector, or investor past the worst dangers associated with caveat emptor (“buyer beware”). The ap­ praiser can "also advise and con­ sult in the areas of restoration, disposal of property, investment

alternatives, insurance procure­ ment, jewelers referrals, sB e r and china matching, historical courses, and publications for fur­ thering the client’s knowledge.

The real qualifications come not necessarily with age but ex­ pertise, depth and quality of ex­ perience, research^;-' education, and years spent handling and observing many pieces. The pro­ fessional credentials for an ap­ praiser come from Bp o rB e r societal memberships. These in­ clude the International Society of Appraisers, the American Society of Appraisers, and the American Appraisers Association.

Finding an appraiser is easy; finding an honest, thorough and knowledgeable one is a bit more difficult. Just as you would screen any service oriented professional for references and qualifications, an appraiser should be able to furnish you with the experiences and background. Check fee charges. Appraisers rates vary from $24-$150 per hour with some charging a percentage of the gross value. The rate struc­ ture is usually based upon the ap­ praiser’s own determination of his or her expertise. The hourly fee seems to be the most equitable.

Above all, understand that the appraiser Is providing a valuable service but one that covers such a tremendous area that no single person can be accurate and an expert in every field. An appraiser that brings in other supporting specialists just as a doctor who seeks second oprmons, is an ex­ cellent choice.

Once you have engaged the appraisal service, the presenta­ tion of the actual document has a body of necessary information to help Identify and personalize the pieces as yours. Request that the appraiser include asirhuch description as possible; the full dimensions of the piece, espe­ cially in furniture; color, wood, construction, approximate vin­ tage (“circa”), shape, decoration, variations of construction and design, and provenance where applicable. iMiewelrv. the size, color, condition, cut, and design of the stones and setting.

Remember though that not | | ] pieces warrant such a thorough examination. Here your appraiser can advise of the importance.

How does the appraiser ar­ rive at a price? This is where you must express your needs for the evaluation; insurance replace­ ment, estate settlement, re-sale, etc. Overall, the values are ar­ rived at by a process similar to that in real estate; comparables in the marketplace. If the item is rare

and transcends the availability in the local area, appraisers can use national auction and retail prices to develop an average price that applies to the situation. Here re­ search has to be conducted very carefully and in great detail; the appraiser should be able to justify his or hor^findings when the documentation is concluded.

For most people, the final step of the evaluation process in­ volves the coordination of the ap­ praisal with the insurance coverage.ff is important to work with an agent who understands the ins and outs of scheduling fine arts.

Depending on how the policy is

written and executed, you can save up to 209/o on your overall premiums. The key in the under­ writing is obtaining filffl replace­ ment value at a reasonable rate.

Caveat emptor—protecting oneself with knowledge is the essential component of the evaluation process. People need to clearly understand the total role of the professional appraiser and their ability to help you buy cor­ rectly to fill your Individual needs.

Protecting your investment and your cherished possessions is the key goal. Don’t belittle what you own; It’s yours. Insure it and love it, and above all, ENJOY IT!
