T H E M O N T C LA IR KIM BERLEY A C A D E M Y

A ten year old school is a mere newcomer: Phillips Academ y was founded over two hundred years ago, and Haberdashers’ Aske’s, the school In England with which we have an annual student exchange, was founded in 1690. But ten years is a signifi­ cant tim e both in schools and in human lives.

MKA's first graduates will celebrate their tenth reunion this fa B n spite of the unrest in . education In the seventies — they were the times of student marches,.“ relevance” in courses, challenges to authority and questions about the values and traditions of earlier generations — both The Kimberley School and Montclair Academy had kept a strong college preparatory curriculum. They did not relax standards, ease requirements nor were they caught up f t h e fad ism of the day. The parents, trustees and teachers responsible for the strength of the programs ten years ago can feel justifiably proud that they held onto their educational aims and they gave MKA’s first graduates the-best and most permanent gift that one generation can give to the next: a strong, solid education, ¡fhey gave the new school a strong history on which to build. The newly formed MKA continued the academic traditions of its predecessors.

This tradition continues as MKA enters its second decade. Today’s seniors have been offered education that those of ten years ago would recognize even though It has undergone considerable growtraOur seniors have entered the computer age, and ¡¡¡rtually all of them are familiar with its uses, importance and limitation. Many of them have served In Internships in community service, business and the professions. Alumni and parents have offered these intensive, short term experiences to help students determine the direction of their college education and later, the direction of their chosen careers. Knowing the importance of International understanding, an annual exchange has been set up wlthBélHaberdashers’ Aske’s School outside of London. British students visit MKA, and our students Visit England, live in each other’s homes and begin to understand thè differences found in two countries with different histories, geographies and points of view.Gur seniors have benefited from the nation’s increased understanding of physical fitness and health and are probably better informed about nutrition, exercise and substance abuse than any generation.before them.

What lies In store for this year’s second grade students—who will be seniors as we enteffl our third decade? Like the graduates of 7 5 and ’85, they will be offered a strong college preparation which emphasizes the solid skills of learning, communicating and research and which teaches thereto research facts to gain understanding and form judgments.

They will have come through a readlng/language arts program very different from that offered the current seniors. From their very first days they will have concentrated on

O u r seniors have benefited from the nation’s increased under­ standing of physical fitness and health and are probably better informed about nutrition, exer­ cise and substance abuse than any generation before them.

This technological age brings with it the greatest explosion in knowledge the world has ever seen and also the greatest explosion in new techniques, new needs and new careers.

comprehension, interpretation and responseigiey will have been offered a significantly greater number of hours of expert teaching in writing.Bke this year’s graduates they will be familiar with the computer and its uses, but unlike them the familiarity will have begun in kindergarten. Last year our second grade students made robots. By the time they qre seniors, robots may well be as common in our country as computers are now. As they prepare to choose their colleges and vocations, forty percent of the careers that will be open to them are unknown to us now.

This technological age brings with it the greatest explosion in knowledge the world has ever seen and also the greatest explosion in new techniques, new needs and nevy careers. Aware of this, The Montclair Kimberley Academy is looking to the future to determine the educational programs of today. More than ever, we know that our students must learn how to learn, how to get information, how to, think and how to come to sqlid judgments. It will not be possible forus to give them all the education that they Will need: they will have to become lifetime learners in order to succeed in the world of the twentyfirst century.

MKA is undergoing an extensive self study next year; this is a part of the accreditation process required ever ten years, and it is also an opportunity to insure that our program is the best possible for our students. A year ago the trustees spent several days thinking about the future and trying to determine our students’ needs. At the end of long hours of work, they set the goals-for the next decade. MKA should continue to offer a very strong liberal arts program with the intent that its graduates be well prepared for college and for life. The school should try to recognize the differences between students and whenever possible allow them to progress at their own pace. The program should be integrated , whenever possible, rather than brokenm o unrelated courses'. The aim of thO'entire program should be to foster the higher level intellectual activities of judgment, understanding and communication.

Aware that school life does not prepare for all aspects of adulthood, the .Board also asked that the faculty and administration find ways to give our students opportunities beyond the classroom. They stressed the need for international understanding, for service to the community, and for internships to help them understand adult life and opportunities.They stressed the need for health, physical education, and relaxation. They recognized the value of outdoor training both for conservation of our natural resources and for an experience of the beauty and power of nature. And they realized that with opportunities multiplying, today’s students would face more choices than did their predecessors. For this reason they have set as one of the school’s goals a strong and professional guidance system to help students know their strengths and understand the variety of options open to them. It is an exhilarating dream, and I hope I will be reporting its success to you ten years from now!

The Tenth Anniversary celebrations are coming to a close at MKA. It has been a wonderful year, With opportunities to meet and thank the people responsible for the merger and for the growth and successes of the fir§t decade. We have enjoyed looking back ten years and forward ten years and reporting to you not only our successes but our hopes for the future. Ten years ago, when the Montclair Kimberley Academy was established through the merger of Montclair Academy and The Kimberley School, I myself was in Amherst completing my dissertation at the d iv e rs ity of Massachusetts and preparing to take over the principalship of the Emma Willard School in Troy. Ten years before that, I was a nun and goingllito my first teaching job at the Stuart Country Day School. If we go back another ten years, I was back in high school — but this time on fhe student side of the desk. I enjoyed looking at my own life in ten year segments, and hope that many of our alumni will do the same thing. If you do it, we would love to hear from you so that in the next alumni magazine we can give you news of your friends and classmates and the direction their H es have taken since they left MKA, MA or TKS. Frances f t O’Connor

The goal of an MKA education is to enable students to turn their dreams into realities. More than classes and grades, we want our school to empower students to deal successfully with life, building on the strong foundation of their MKA experience. □ How do our students and graduates feel about the role MKA has played (or is still playing) in their lives? Listen to them speak, each from his own perspective: Class of 75, '85, and '95.

Class of 75 These were the children of the merger, the genesis of the first decade. From ten years out, they have the advantages of hindsight and maturity. H ow does their present reality com pare to their dreams of ten years ago? Has their M KA education held them in good stead?

The 1975 yearbook describes Dorr D’Alessandro as the “Golden Boy”. Not only was he a “devoted jock” (football, hockey, baseball), he also served on the Student Council and had a multitude of extra-curricular interests.

His brother Robert will graduatesfcy 1986; sister Cheryl was Class of 77.

According to the 1975 yearbook, “If Sal can't do it herself, she finds someone who can”. Apparently Sally McBratney could do it herself, and doit! quite well! Not only did she play field hockey and lacrosse, but she combined her athletic interests with her leadership ability to form the first Athletic Association. This was in addition to a variety of other activities.

SallyrfS one of several alumni in her family — her aunt, uncle, mother (Audrey ’50) sister (Bonnie 74), and brother (Bruce 78) attended MKA. Sally was 16, Don was 17 when they had their first date — their meeting in the first place being a direct result of the merger of The Kimberley School and Montclair Academy! Now 27 and married three years, they live in Boston while Don completes his residency in general surgery at Harvard before beginning his orthopedic specialty.

Sally is a community health nurse.

SALLY MC BRATNEY D’ALESSANDRO When I worked summers at Brookside Day Camp, ¡^thought vaguely of being a pediatric nurse but a real nursing career de­ cision was not made until my senior year in college. Even though I was inspired at MKA to an||terest in biology, I had no idea at the time that I would actually become a nurse. WhatH did get at MKA was a strong academic background, which gave me an oppor­ tunity to make choices.

Being the first class of the merger, we had the challenge of forming new traditions, of breaking new ground to make the two previous systems fit. I saw it as an advantage, having this opportunity for creative leadership. I think that attitude has stayed with me;H am always eager to try new things.

DON D’ALESSANDRO My life has been a straight line.

I’ve always known that I wanted to go into medicine. There is no question in my mind that my interest stemmed from my Involvement in athletics at MKA and the “ mechanics” of my numerous injuries.

MKA set a standard for me, a level that I hope to maintain all my life. We were never allowed to cruise. There was always someone who urged you to reach your potential, to be your best self. MKA — the demands, the encour­ agement, the atmosphere of integrity — got me off on the right foot for life.

Certain attitudes that were developed in school are life patterns for us now —an Interest In the community beyond our jobs, an independent spirit, confidence.

According to Sally, these are particularly valuable assets for the wife of a hard­ working medical student to have!

CHRIS SMITH

0 0 When you go to college from y y MKA, you don’t have to start ' ^ from scratch. You go with a solid background. In this school, to do well you have to study — that Is, you have to know how to study. It’s like building blocks. Every year you gain a little bit more knowledge until the foundations are set.

When I think of MKA, as corny as It sounds, I think “family”; it’s so closeknit. The teachers really do care; they’re like parent figures. They give you time. They know you. I’ll miss that.

Especially in this last year, the school has opened my eyes to things that go on outside MKA. I’m starting to look out, to look beyond myself.

00

PeoPle think of me as going into y y polities or law. Teachers tell me ' ' that I am able to get my point across effectively. I might as well go where my strengths — and Interests ££§ lie! I love discussion. The field of law Is based largely on being able to communicate your ideas to others. It seems a natural for me. The reading and writing courses at MKA have been excellent preparation.

While you’re at MKA, you become used to an environment where every­ one Is really into what they're doing.

The teachers are enthusiastic, and that rubs off on the students. The students are smart, and they’re working, not just passing time. I think this atmosphere helps prepare you for the challenge of college.

This school has something for every­ one. The student body is diverse and yet not fragmented. The relationship of student and teacher is one of friends. It will be hard to leave behind these close relationships at graduation.

Alexandra Rowley is the oldest of three, children and Is joined at MKA by a brother who is In kindergarten. She. .. enjoys the best of both worlds. While, Indoors, she loves reading, writing, and drawing. Outdoors, she loves to ride her bike and swim. She also takes gymnastic classes.

Matthew Drukker is the third member of his family to goto MKA, after father Austin ’52 and sister Kristen ’94. His Interests belle his seven years — chess (he occasionally beats his father), computers, karate, and all aspects of building things. Soccer Is his favorite sport, but he also loves to swim and ride his bike.

ClassoF95 These are the children of the second decade. Second graders now, but even so, they have a sense that school is a happy, comfortable place that is important to their lives.

At the age of seven, they have begun to form opinions about learning that will emerge in ten or so years as life choices. Simple questions prompted their responses . . . How do you feel about school?

What is your favorite part of the day? What job would you like to have as a grown up?

0 0 My favorite thing at school is y ^ our w rin g books. My other ^ ^ favorite thing Is art. We just made scenery for our play. But I like reading and writing most of all.

When I grow up, I would like to be a teacher — a kindergarten teacher because kindergarten is neat. Those kids are so little! (t would be fun!

School Is nice. I have lots of friends here. I’m never bored. Once we were so busy doing our math that we forgot all about snack period! I like this place.

â â P i

I think school is fun. We have reading, sharing circle, writing workshop, science, music, art, health and lots of things, but my favorite is art. I usually draw pictures of soldiers.

(I collect soldiers). I also like math.

I want tb'-bo a scientist. I like to dis­ cover things. I like to do experiments. |ÿ :, , make a lot of potions. I usually start with hot water and put in powder, salt, soap and things. I started making petons a long time ago, when I was about three. It was so muph fun; I IpOided that when I was-.older I would be a scientist. We do lots of expelSH ments at school I Ilk e ^M g o tl think it’s nice. I feel ISomfortable here.

107 NNIVER5ARY ... our first exercise was to brainstorm a list of things that “work well” at MKA. The list was long indeed! There was no doubt that we had a lot to celebrate.

FROM THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES

With the arrival of spring, it. seems an appropriate time to recap the events of MKA’s Tenth Anniversary as the year draws to a close with Commencement 1985.

For the Trustees, planning for our Anniversary Year reaffibegan with our Scanticon retreat in September 1983. The process of identifying a future course (our “dream”) for the school was done with the realization that we have an extremely strong foundation on which to build. As a matter of fa c t our first exercise was to brainstorm a list of things that “work well” at MKA. The list was long indeed! There was no doubt that we had a lotto celebrate.

With that beginning, a Tenth Anniversary Committee, chaired by Aubin Ames (TKS ’54) and composed of trustees, faculty, parents and past parents, came up with a year-long plan of activities and events. The kickoff was the highly successful dinner and.auction sponsored by PAMKA last May. Trustee Jim Courter (MA ’59), a U.S- Congressman, spoke at the 1984 Commencement, reflecting on two decades of school history and the : changes he saw as.the result of the merger. j|) November a musical program and champagne reception honored past and current trustees, faculty and staff. Individual campus and alumni activities all year long have been tied to tfte Anniversary celebration and our Tenth Anniversary flags have flown every day on all three campuses. The end of the Tenth Anniversary Year will come with Commencement 1985 at which time the class of 7 5 will be included as special guests.

As MKA’s second decade begins, the Board’s commitment is that the school continue to develop an academic and overall program which will make children better equipped to deal with an ever-changing world through their own resources of judgement and decision-making as wpfl as facts and information. This type of program requires careful long-term planning and funds outside of the annual operating budget are needed for its development. The Tenth Anniversary Fund with its goal of $800;000 Is also part of our celebration because it represents a commitment that future generations of MKA students will enjoy the same excellence of education that is offered to the cu'rfent generation. ifThese funds will be used for curricular development as well as plant Improvement and endowment. PAMKA generously initiated the Fund with the $50,000. proceeds from their May Gala.

One other aspect of the Tenth Anniversary Year, unexpected but very welcome, was the opportunity to purchase the 3-acre property at 40 Upper Mountain Avenue. What its ultimate use will be Is under discussion by the Board and Administration, but it should certainly be viewed as further evidence of our commitment to a strong MKA In the future.

Lack of space and strain on present facilities have been concerns almost from the beginning of the merger and the. acquisition of a larger area of property midway between two of our campuses presents several attractive possibilities.

Finally, It must be said that the loyalty.and support of our alumni, past parents and current families during our first decade has been a strong factor in the success of MKA. The program our students enjoy now is largely the result of the support and generosity of hundreds of students and families who have preceded them. As current parents we must not only make a commitment to excellence in the 4,8 or 12 years our own children are at MKA, but for those who will follow as well, so that at the end of our second decade there will be even greater cause for celebration!

TENTH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION

by Aubin Ames, Chairman of the 10th Anniversary Committee

A highlight of the Tenth Anniversary year was a celebration held on Sunday, November 18,1984 at the Weiss Arts Center on the Upper School campus. This occasion honored current and former faculty, staff and trustees, and the family of Richard Ward Day, the first principal of The Montclair Kimberley Academy.

After brief welcoming remarks by Susan Ruddick, President of the Board of Trustees, and Frances R. O’Connor, Principal, James S. Vandermade presented an fflportrait of Mr. Day. The portrait, painted posthumously by Mrs. Freda Dreany of Stamford, CT., will hang permanently at the Upper School campus.

The muslcale by the Upper School Chorus, under the direction of Nixon Bicknell, and the MKA Band, under the direction of Barry Centanni, provided a delightful afternoon of nostalgia. The, current Mastersingers were joined by 32 Mastersingers alumni from the past ten years. Together they sang “The Last Words of David” and selections from “The Student Prince” . Solo performances by Larissa Sokoloff '88, Bill Stone ’84, Steve Chambers ’81, Peggy Mills 7 9 and jazz trio Barry Centanni 77, John Bicknell 7 8 and Paul Bicknell 7 6 spanned the decade with musical memories. The conclusion of the musical program was the introduction of the MKA School Song. ^H jnder the chairmanship of Frederick L. Redpath, this festive afternoon musical program and champagne reception was attended by well over 300 people.

IN APPRECIATION OF RICHARD WARD DAY: the Story Behind the Portrait

In presenting the portrait of Richard W ard Day, James S. Vanderm ade, who was the first President of the M K A Board of Trustees, spoke eloquently of Mr. D ay’s distinguished career as an educator. T h e following are excerpts from his remarks.

Dick came to our attention as a potential head of our combined schools by the accident of a social conversation In the summer of 1973, when he revealed that he would be leaving Exeter the following June, having then completed a pre-planned ten-year term there as principal. Hearing about our projected merger and the fact that we had just formed a selection committee for the position as head, Dick expressed great interest and asked to be on the list of candidates. As he learned more about our plans, he was attracted by the nature of our community, the challenge of the merger of two strong entitles, and the appeal of a Kindergarten through 12th grade educational experience. He was eager to bring his own broad experience to a day school environment, and enthusiastically concurred with our Trustees’ basic goals of providing for the families of Montclair and vicinity a superior coeducational Independent day school as a viable alternative to boarding school.

Dick Day and his lovely wife Kathy came to us officially on the 1st of July, 1974. They were full of optimism and confidence, at the same time fully aware of the potential pitfalls of merger. Dick, pro that he was, knew of the natural fears — fears of change, of the new and unknown — that would be shared by all members of the school family — faculty, staff, parents, students and alumni alike — but he was as determined as the Trustees to make the merger work. In the first years, he experienced the reality of some of those fears, and as he himself colorfully expressed in a later report, “ along the way situations arose that tested and sometimes bruised our budding harmony.” The quality of our school today Is ample testimony to the fact that those bruises were nothing more than “growing pains.”

Dick thought of himself first and foremost as a teacher, not only of students but of faculty, trustees and parents as well. He was an educator by profession, but he was also an historian, a musician, an athlete — and a battle-hardened paratrooper. In an appreciation of him that was published in the Alumni News, it was stated that his personality and abilities comprised a distillation of these elements, and that in addition he possessed in unusual measure the qualities of strength and toughness, sympathy and understanding, integrity and moral stamina.

It was these characteristics that enabled Dick to provide the effective leadership that was so important not only to silencing the early discords but to the making of the solid foundation on which others have been building ever since his untimely death.

MKA Introduces School Song Thcfbccasion off he tenth Anniversary celebration on November 18,1984 was made more memorableforthose attending when th jM K A School Song was introduced, presented by the chorus and enthusiastically joined by all the assembled guests.

H § n though Dr. O’Connor requested a schooftong when she first came to MKA six years ago, it was not until June 1984 that AubinZabriskieAmes’54, as chairman of the Tehth Anniversary Committee, made thesearch for a school song official by asking that one be. written in timeforthe November celebration. A contest was sponsored on all campuses, with entries reviewed bythe Tenth Anniversary Committee, who looked for a simple song with the “right feeling” .

Two members of the MKA performing arts department, Lois Riley and Nixon Bicknell, decided to acceptthe challenge of writing a new song. First they chose the melody, an old navy tune by J. W. Crosleythat “fit thè ™ ’; writingthe words came next. Theirs was the winning entry, sung for thew st time on November 18,1984.

by George Hrab, Athletic Director

One of the most su c c e s s fu l seasons in MKA history, in terms of overall winning record, ended with the conclusion of the ’84 fall season. Every team improved on its record from the previous year, and out of 109 contests played, our squads won 74.andtled 6. The success that our teams accomplished was acknow ledged by our opponents with the selection of 27 of our athletes to All-State and All-League teams.

Though all teams deserve congratulations for their fine seasons, some special men­ tion should be made of the various be h in d -th e -sce n e s goings-on which encourage, support, and develop ourteams and athletes.

First and foremost, mention should be made of the Cougar Club, MKA’s booster organi­ zation which, led by MKAtrus-

tee and parent Jack Cussen, has reorganized and vitalized the system of support and awards for our athletes. We are again havlng.seasonal assem­ blies In which all our athletes are honored and recognized before their peers. In addition, the C ougar Club provides funds for team get-togethers and parties to celebrate the conclusion of aseason.Thisfa| most teams did have some sort of post-season celebration in honor of a successful cam­ paign. The biggest.celebration Is saved for an end of year ban­ quet in which we honor our seniors, team award winners, and all-state selectees for the entire year. Last year’s initial banquet was enjoyed by par­ ents and students alike, and It was a big success in terms of showing the breadth and scope of athletic commitment and

excellence at MKA. Second, mention should be made of the work that has been done, is being done, and is planned for our facilities. Last year, the renovation of the upper school field had a tre­ mendously positive effect on our teams. Halfbacks could run the ball w ithout spraining ankles, soccer balls rolled true, and field hockey balls bounced and rolled precisely. It was a joy to practice and play on the field Similarly, the replacement of the filtration system in the upper school pool led to anEiprovement of attitude and perfor­ mance for our swimmers. The water Is now regularly clear, and no longer do we have to contend with burning eyes from diatomaceous earth residue.

A weight room has been equipped In the gym and it Is being used regularly during the

school'day by our physical edu­ cation classes, and after school by a weight lifting club. An e le v e n s ta tio n U n iv e rs a l# machine, new squat racks|hew b e n c h e s , ne w b a rs and weights, plus a padded floor have added to the atmosphere and have Increased the incen­ tive of our performers. The plans for the future Include re­ doing the lighting and the floor In the middle school gym, which will greatly enhance the atmos­ phere of that facility.

Thus, one can see the Improvements in the conditions within which our athletes train and perform; The dedication and work of the coaches has been tremendous, the support of the administration, the p a r-. ents, and alumni has been extremely positive, and the ath­ letes of MKA have responded in kind!

Homecoming morning began at the Upper School c a m p ® with coffee and danish, a general meeting of the Alum nf!^fe#iation &hd|ours by the; class of ’85 w fo volunteered to show returning S f® n i around a building >!nat was totally now to manyfot theml-fLunch and dinner were served by current stude'hts as well!)

BASTUSROL TO HOST MKA GOLF CLASSIC (and the U.S. Open, too) The highly successful MfKA GOLF CLASSIC will be held at Baltusrol Golf Club on Thurs­ day. May 16,1985. This will be the third year in a roWthat MKA golfers have challenged the famous links at BaltusroLMKA Trustee and parent John A. Windolf (Hilary ’88, James ’82, Lori Anne ’78) will again serve as chairman of the event.

From July 8-14B he 1985 Women’s U.S. Open will be held on Baltusrol’s Upper Course.

MKA’s event will provide a unique opportunity for partici­ pants to test their skills on a

16

course laid out especially for MS. Open Competition!

The MKA GOLF CLASSIC will begin with lunch for the golfers, followed by an after­ noon, on the links. Cocktails and hors d’oeuvres for golfers, spouses and dinner guests begin at 6:30 p:m., followed by dinner at 8:00 p.m. Prizes for skill, luck, and lack of skill will be awarded at the dinner.

The cost for golfing partici­ pants is $500, which includes

greens fees, carts, caddies, practice range, locker room fee, lunchi, and cocktails and M in e r for golfer and spouse.

Non-golfers are cordially wel­ com e to join the evening festivities at a cost of $50 per person.

In the two previous years, all available places were quickly reserved; it is expected that the excitement of the U.S. Open will generate even greater interest in 1985. Since the field is limited to 48 golfers, all interested alumni, parents and

friends of MKA are urged to reserve their places early.

All proceeds will be desig­ nated for MKA Annual Giving.

The participants' donations are tax deductible. In each of the first two years, the MKA GOLF C LA S S IC g e n e ra te d ove r $10,000 for Annual Giving, and the projection for 1985 is to exceed that figure again.

REPORT FROM THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION

What lies ahead? The Senior Break­ fast, sponsored by the Alumni Associa­ tion, has become an annual.event and is being held this year on April 30. Then Italy! Twenty-five alumni, present par­ ents, and friends will tour many of Italy’s most fascinating sights and cities for two weeks. Then it will be June , . . time to welcome the Class of ’85 into the Alumni Association.

As a special way of saying, “We appre­ ciate what you went through as the first class of the merger”,the Class of 7 5 is being invited to come to graduation and also be guests at a luncheon before the ceremony begins. We hope for the best possible attendance, as we create a time for the Class of 7 5 to come back, visit together and tell us how it feels to be out for a decade.

When I accepted the office of Presi­ dent of the Alumni Association in 1982,1 felt it was a pleasure and a privilegeto be choSen. As I stated in the Fall 1982 Alumni News, we were beginning the school year With "clear direction, a res­ tructured and strengthened Alumni Council, and excellent help from Alumni Director, Judy Allen.”

Three years later,H feel we have accomplished a great deal toward fulfil­ ling the goals we set for our organization.

H also feel that much of our success should be credited to Judy Allen, who has resigned after three years as Alumni Director. Her time, talent, and hard work have been invaluable to the Alumni Association. We will miss her. However, she will be coming backfortwo we'eksin May to direct the trip to Italy. Grazie and buona fortuna, Judy!

Denise Farandatos Anastasiou ’62 President, MKA Alumni Association This year has been a busy one, with successful alumni events as well as Tenth Anniversary celebrations. Sep­ tem ber 29 was indeed a day to remember, when over 200 alumni of The Kimberley School, Montclair Academy, and The Montclair Kimberley Academy returned to the school for a series of reunion and Homecoming activities.

On November 9, Alumni Association members and friends joined Lady Luck for the Papermill Playhouse production of “Guys and Dolls”. This popular musi­ cal was followed by desserts and wine at the theater.

From the class of 7 7 tothe class of'84, former hockey stars of MKA put on their gear and took to the ice on Sunday, December 23, before a record crowd of MKA and MHS alumni, parents, current students and faculty. Alumni Council member and hockey team captain Steve Dodd 79, with coach Tom Preville, led the twenty alumni hockey players to a 7-2 victory over the MontclaipHigh School alumni team in the fifth annual holiday hockey game. It was a marve­ lous experience to seetheseyoung men return to the ice arena, pull on an MKA jersey and become a team. The real victory was for MKA tradition and spirit!

Congratulations and thank you a l ^ |

The section about Stephen, alongside write­ ups on Steven Spielberg, Meryl Streep, and Debra Winger, follows: Successful as both a furniture maker and game-bird breeder, Swift started out wanting to be a lawyer. He majored in econom ics at .

Georgetown University, then decided to take a year off before law school and began making the hatches of old ships into coffee l •s Suddenly Bloomirigdale's was ,seithem and Swift was opening his own store in his hometown of Montclair, NJ. By : the time Swift opened a furniture gailery in N&ntucket: it was d e a r that the only bench he’d be approaching would be one of his own design. Swift's high-quality furniture doesn't com e cheap -4 a dining table and eight chairs costs $8.000 -~ and buyers ait almost a year tor delivery. Swift's problem w as that on ce spring cam e atopg, nefound it difficult to sitihside making ; furinture. So he began raising ducks. By 1983.he,was supplying restaurants;«!

At long last have heard from Lisa Shapiro!

Where has she been this whole time?! In her own words, “ I lived for six years In Chicago where I got my M.S.W. from the University of Chicago (76!). I then spent seven months in San Francisco (fulfiling a long-time fantasy of life in the most gorgeous city in the USA). I then spent 1981 -1984 in Los Angeles. I lived half a block from the ocean and had a private practice in psychotherapy (post-graduate training at the Gestalt Institute of Los Angeles for two years). “ On May 1 9 ,1 9 8 4 1married Alan Golding, Ph.D. (U, Chicago 7 9 ) and we moved jp a August 1984 to Oxford, MS where Alan is an assistant professor of English, particularly Contemporary American Poetry. He’s from Southern-on-Sea, England, and we plan to $jsit this summer after our baby Is born. I have kept my'jasfSname,, but that may chanae when the babv is born.”

Anne Graves s,ays that OTs well her way.

"Not much news to tell. Austin justturnedfour in October and Erin two. Austin is in school five days a week and Erin will start nursery school in January. We had dinner with Susie and Kevin O ’Brien the other night. They are fine — expecting #2 in May. Susie, looks great,” Georgia Buckner and Blaise had a daughter Brigid Nastasia Provltola, on Sep­ tember 25,1984. According to an authority, she’s adorable and helped make this past Christm as especially wonderful. Georgia was in labor 72 (!) hours but still managed to go Lamaze. Georgia is “ playing mom” full time and Blaise is busy with his carpentry.

They have started a distributorship of solar greenhouses, so 1985 ought to be very inter­ esting for them!

I talked with Susie O’Brien during the phonathon. Her husband earned an all expense paid vacation for two to Rome, and they went right after Thanksgiving.

Kim Kolbe is keeping busy with her job, working with the head coach for the G ¡ants.

She also now owns a condo In Caldwell.

Bobbie Dixon is leading a very exciting life! She Is now Editor of Ultra Magazine, a Texas lifestyle publication.

Jackie Bollag is busy working for her father, selling windows.

Linda Brightman married Thomas Alan Houser on Oct. 26,1984. She is coordinator of c o n s u m e r in fo rm a tio n s y ste m s at Nabisco Brands, Inc. in Parsippany.

Kathy Powell Cohn and family have also had a busy year. In July, Rick was made partner of his law firm and received his MBA from Loyola College. He has been’actlve in their community association as treasurer and board of directors member. Kathy rig enjoying her career as “ full-time” mother to Erica. Erica is a petite 19 month old with a very extensive , vocabulary. Kathy was Tenth Reunion Chairman for the Connecticut Col­ lege class of 7 4 and had a chance to see Lydia Keyser Nabisco. Apparently Lydia looks exactly the same. Back to Kathy: she assists the parent education program at the Greater Baltimore Medical Center. She is also the program chairman and serves on the hospital volunteer services committee.

Kathy and Rick had a chance to take a “ real” vacation to Maine to feast on lobster and visit college friends.

Gail Herbert Trask and family are very active! They have started teaching Billy (5) to ski. Bill and Gall went to Hawaii (a.gift from Radio Shack) and Bill did a commercial for his firm at the same time. This past summer, they all went to Gail’s parents' house for a

Erica Cohn TK S 7 0 family reunion and tried sailboarding and gliding. Their preschooler Jim m y (4) can now swim across a pool with one breath. In November they went hiking and climbing the Flatirons above Boulder. Gail is teaching pre­ school in Boulder and has Billy as one of her students.

Carol Ladner Bergo writes "Not much going on here. My work has had Its ups and clowns. It’s currently in an upswing. I was elected treasurer of the Pitt County Wildlife Club, a conservation-oriented club in our area.”

It was wonderful to hear from Betsy Kim­ ball. She is at Northeastern Law School In her first year, finding it to be a “fair amount" of work. She still plays rugby to keep her sanity.

Her team is nationally ranked #2 and Is going back to reclaim the #1 spot this May In San Francisco. She also mentioned thather sister Sally (’68) has two children now and sees Llndy Franciose (’68) who teaches aerobics in Florida.

The news here is our move to Stamford, CT. This was prompted by Tom ’s promotion to the executive office of Peat Marwick! The move (right before Christmas,) has been diffi­ cult but rewarding as we like the Fairfield County area.

My business is going well, but as Carol alluded to, working for yourself Is tough busi­ ness. My fäll was spent commuting back and forth to Toronto. I now have several contracts that enable me to work in the, U.S. In November I was elected V.P. of the Insur­ ance Trade Organization Society for Insur­ ance Research.

This past summer Tom and I spent a lot of time scuba diving. We especially enjoyed diving in the Bay o f Fundy. On the way back from New Brunswick I stopped off at a fitness camp in Stowe, VT for a week. I ate health food, exercised (about 8 hours of aerobics, stretching, weight lifting, hiking, jogging, and steam /sauna/m assage) and lost pounds and inches.

I am continuing my C.L.U. studies and have recently been accepted Into the Fellow of the Insurance Institute of Canada program out of the U. of Toronto.
