Frances R. O ’Connor P rincipal

Board o f Trustees My final official assignment is to introduce three new trustees— Sharon Gray, A ustin K oenen, and R obert Kramer—and my successor M argaret Crawford B ridge as President of the Board of Trustees. In many ways Margaret needs no introduction as she has served the Alumni Association so capably for many years.

Margaret Bridge is an alumna of The Kimberley School, class of 1965, the University of Rochester and Seton Hall Law School. She is a member of the New Jersey State Bar Association and the Essex County Bar Association. She is a director of Delta Management Systems, Inc. of River Edge and was formerly a director of Standard Tool & Manufacturing Company and the Junior Achievement of Northern New Jersey, Inc. She and her husband, David, are the parents of three MKA stu­ dents: David ’91, Allison ’93 and Michele ’96.

Sharon Gray has served as Finance and Communications Vice President of the Parents’ Organiza­ tion of The Montclair Kimberley Academy (PAMKA). She and her husband, Jack, co-chaired the Gift Club and Parent Phonathons. They have two children, Nicole ’88, who is entering Yale in September, and Jake, 3. Sharon, a new Board member at the Montclair Art Museum, is co-chair of the 75th Anniversary Special Events Committee. She is also a Board member of Parents Place Inc. and a member of the Junior League.

Sharon received a B.A. and M.A. from the University of Minnesota.

Robert Kramer has been an Advisory Trustee for Annual Giving for the past two years. He is a graduate of Princeton and is the Vice President of General Automa­ tion in Wayne. He and his wife, Frances, the new PAMKA Ways and Means Vice President, are the parents of two current MKA stu­ dents, Michael ’91 and Lesley ’96.

James ’88 is a freshman at Rice University.

Austin Koenen and his wife, Kathleen, are the parents of two current MKA students: Erin ’89 and Austin ’94. Karestan, who graduated in 1986, attends Wellesley. Austin graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy at An­ napolis and Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration.

He is a Managing Director at Shearson Lehman Hutton Inc. and is chairman of the Municipal Securities Division of the Public Securities Association. He is a trustee of Hurricane Island Out­ ward Bound School and has served as President of the Pequannock Township Board of Education.

R obert A. H oonhout joined the Board in October 1987 when he became President of the Alumni Association. Bob graduated from Montclair Academy in 1971, Lafayette College and Seton Hall Law School. He was Treasurer of the MKA Alumni Council for four years. Bob maintains a law practice

in Montclair where he is the Assis­ tant Township Attorney. He and his wife, Kathy, have three children, Eric, Blake and Julia.

Current MKA parents A ustin D rukker ’52 and R onald Tobia were elected to their second terms.

Janies A. C ourter ’59 continues as an Advisory Trustee.

The new officers for 1988-89 are Margaret Bridge, President; Austin Drukker and Ronald Tobia, Vice Presidents; Joan Arboit Ainbinder, Secretary; and Jack Cussen, Treasurer.

The close of the academic year ended the terms of three Board members with long and distinguished careers as trustees.

R ichard H atzenbuhler was MKA’s first Parent Phonathon Chairman (with his wife, Marilyn), then served two years as an Ad­ visory Trustee for Annual Giving, followed by two terms as a regular trustee. His focus was development and finance and he most recently served as Auxiliary Operations Chairman and Treasurer.

Jack W in d olf headed the highly successful MKA Tomorrow! capital campaign and for many years chaired our golf outing at Baltusrol. In his nine years as a trustee, Jack served on develop­ ment and finance, was Treasurer and retires after two years as Nominating Chairman.

The accomplishments of Aubin Zabriskie Am es are chronicled in the Alumni pages. Suffice it to say that in her 14 years on the Board, three as President, she has done more for MKA than most do in a lifetime.

These three retiring trustees represent 31 years of service to our school and MKA is forever in their debt.

Susan H. Ruddick President

Within These Halls “It was a wonderful century” is the way Dr. Frances O ’Connor, MKA Principal, described the 100 years chronicled in W ithin These Halls, the newly published history of MKA. The book covers the found­ ing of Montclair Academy in 1887, The Kimberley School in 1906 and Brookside in 1925.

Robert D.B. Carlisle was commis­ sioned as author by the Board of Trustees in the spring of 1987. He devoted the next year to gleaning material from the school archives, interviewing alumni and former personnel of the three schools, organizing, sifting, evaluating. The result is a 124-page history encom ­ passing 100 years of anecdotes, photographs and information.

To celebrate the publication of W ithin These H alls and bring the Centennial to a close, a champagne reception was held on June 10 in the William Avery Barras Library.

Guests were treated to a medley of Irving Berlin songs rendered by the Mastersingers, led by Nixon Bicknell. They concluded with the MKA school song, whose second verse contains the phrase used for the title of the book.

Susan Ruddick hosted the occa­ sion as one of her last—‘but one of my happiest—duties as outgoing President of the Board of Trustees.

She introduced Rob Carlisle, who entertained the group with a clever poem of “Cougar-el” (“a home-grown form of doggerel”), thanking those w ho had helped with the project.

He added that in the course of do­ ing the book, he “came to realize these were remarkable institutions!’

As they spoke, sunshine streamed through the library windows. One could gaze out toward a New York City skyline that had changed considerably since the days when cadets once stood on that very same site—then the porch of Bradley House—in the Junes of decades long before.

Susan Jones

So alive...the story of people who have walked these halls and lived and learned here...of so many people w ho loved young people. It is a book with heart.

Fran O ’Connor It revived and freshened some wonderful memories. It reminded me of many things I had forgotten and told me a lot of things I never knew.

It’s a fine book on a fascinating subject.

The book is an academic festival overture of sentimental journeys... told with a skilled author’s eye for fun...There has been triumph and tragedy in the history of MKA and it’s all there in W ithin These Halls.

Faculty Farewells MARION LOESCH: THE FIRST VOICE OF MKA From farewell speech by Jim Kolb In August 1969, Marion Loesch joined the Kimberley School as the morning switchboard operator. Since then Marion has been the “first voice” of our school—a very important first voice, that carries with it the basic image of a caring, considerate and cooperative organization...

Marion came before most of us, and through the years came to know each of us as individual members of the annual crop of “newcomers!’ She could translate a call or decipher a piece of incoming mail...and manage to get the message through to its proper recipient.

On “snow days” each winter, Marion would...advise parents, students and our own staff and faculty members on the school’s statu®; on conditions of weather and roads, and which busses were running and which were not.

And there are many of us who came to rely on Marion for countless admin­ istrative chores. Her eagle eye made her a champion proofreader for Dr. O’Connor, Fran Ferlauto, and the Alumni Office. She could bang out a critical memo or letter on the antique typewriter that came to rest at the reception desk. Parents relied on Marion to get forgotten lunches, gym shorts and blazers to their youngsters in the classrooms. Each month the Business Office had Marion clip managers’ budget status from balance sheet printouts. The Admissions Office relied heavily on Marion each February to assemble and dispatch enrollment and re-enrollment contracts. ...So to Marion we extend our sincere thanks for her outstanding service to the school and our very best wishes in her retirement.

Marion Loesch

JEANNE JONES: LIFE AS ART From farewell speech by Vivi Greenspan ’ 'In all my classes I try to infuse the students with the excitement found in the arts. I want them to know about great art and artists, understanding that artists are involved with their times not only reflecting it. The interaction o f ideas between art, music, literature and politics, science and commerce should become apparent to the students . ’ ’ ...Jeanne has strong principles; she is brave and tough; but she is also full of humor and self-knowledge which allows her to accept others without compromising her own standards.

In her classroom she creates the atmosphere and vitality of the artists’ studio. She challenges the students but is encouraging and accepting. She has room for the pedestrian student as well as the one who marches to a different drummer. The work produced is exciting, creative and disciplined. The students may start from a common exercise but their solutions are unique and personal. What is especially remarkable is how much time outside of regular classes students spend in the studio.

I have seen Jeanne help her seniors photograph their portfolios in the courtyard. They are out there on bright winter days, braving the cold, to take perfect pictures to send off to col­ leges. Jeanne wants work of the highest calibre to represent MKA and she wants her students to be proud of; their work. Her letters of recommenda­ tion for these same seniors repeat this attention to detail. Scorning empty phrases, she precisely describes the particular qualities of the students and their work.

6

The yearbook is another example of this attention. Jeanne supports the editors as she does her art students.

She sets high standards and gives them the responsibility so that they can have the credit for their accomplishment. ...Imagine a class of seniors who really worked hard to absorb the great movements of art from prehistoric times to the present. The major force in the class was four 18-year-old boys who adored Jeanne. They came in every day to make her tea; they would fool around one minute and have a straight-faced discussion of erotic Greek vases the next. With great love and wisdom, Jeanne captured their hearts and minds, and they really knew their art history.

In all these teaching situations, what distinguishes Jeanne is her oft-stated feeling that she learns more from the students than they do from her.

DAVID DOSTER: HEART AND MIND

By John Noble Among several appropriate characterizations of David Doster, “thoughtful” stands out. The OED defines this word as “given to thinking” “full of thought” “reflective!’

In these terms, David occupies a very special place at the Academy. Of course, one thinks of his teaching of mathematics. The witness of his students to his excellence is clear: “It’s scary. He knows so much. But he’s such a good teacher!’

One also thinks of David in connec­ tion with Latin and Greek and classical studies, the fathers and doctors of the church and medieval theology. David is a thoughtful person. Most of his peers in the Upper School regard him as the preeminent intellectual among them.

Faculty Changes He is an incisive, clear thinker. In a discussion, whether one is supporting his point of view or quite the opposite, the clarity and consistency of his ideas provide a sound basis for the resolu­ tion of things. One is confident that he will not be stumbling over unexpected misdirections and illogic. David’s in­ cisive and clear thinking is facilitated by his practice of an important princi­ ple: “When one has nothing to say, one ought not to say it.”

In another place, “thoughtful” is defined as “considerate,” “kind,” “giv­ ing thought for others’ feelings.” Aside from his reputation as a gentleman, David is clearly the teacher required by a shattered self-confidence adrift in TA3G. His image as a kind and con­ siderate teacher make the rigors of his classroom not only bearable but much to be sought after. The point is not to avoid him as a teacher, but to be sure that one has him.

David Doster began teaching at the newly-merged Academy in September 1974. He has helped countless students and colleagues to understand the meaning of “thoughtful.” This September, the Choate-Rosemary Hall faculty and students will have this singular opportunity.

A l Van Eerde ’73, Dean o f Students

-V

;

Scott N. White, the new Director of College Guidance, began working with the Class of 1989 in the spring. Scott graduated from the George School, received a B.A. in psychology from Swarthmore College and a Master of Education in counseling from Harvard University.

Scott comes to MKA from the McBurney School in New York City, where he was Director of College Guidance and Admissions. He had previously been a Director of Admis­ sions at Oakwood School and Bard College.

Our new counselor is an avid athlete with a specialty in wrestling: he had an undefeated season at the George School which earned him the Griscum Award, and was on the varsity team at Swarthmore.

We are delighted to welcome Scott and his wife, Leighan, to MKA! A1 Van Eerde ’73 has been named Dean of Students. As such, he will ex­ pand student activities in addition to overseeing discipline and heading the Executive Committee.

A1 came to MKA as an eighth grader and graduated in 1973- He returned in 1977 and since then has taught science, introducing oceanography, astronomy and geology courses. He also coaches the water polo team. In addition, A1 ac­ tively represents students and faculty on the Alumni Council.

Bob Hemmeter has a new role as Dean of the Faculty. He advises Mr. Webster, provides feedback from the faculty, and fills in for the headmaster when he is off campus.

At the Primary School, Anita Cole announced that Lyn Vlaskamp is leav­ ing to teach at Friends Seminary in New York City and that secretary Carol Eddy is moving to Florida. Bar­ bara Gordon will work on her Ph.D. full-time, Sue Gurtman is returning to her family full-time, and Diane Boyer will concentrate on her interior design business and work on her architecture degree at Pratt. Donna Carrara is transferring to the Middle School.

At the Middle School, Head Jim Burger welcomed Holly Jervis ’83, who will teach Spanish, replacing Jill Potter, who graduates to Upper School Spanish. Doris Schroeder has

and math, and Jane Smith is on a maternity leave. Sue Cote will become Director of Guidance and Health, K-12, at Kent Place School.

Upper School Head Dick Webster announced that the English depart­ ment and Academy News were losing Sarah Spieldenner, who will return to her alma mater, Friends Seminary in New York City. He wished good luck to Martha Tomlinson as she looks for new horizons in computers and to Maggie Gat as she stays in education.

Janice Moser will teach computer skills in Pennsylvania. Melanie Lauer is getting married and moving to Con­ necticut and Anita Di Pietro and her family are moving to California; Finbar O’Kane is leaving to teach closer to his home on Long Island. Tom Dugan will spend the next year travel­ ing in Europe and writing. Rosemary Steinbaum is on a maternity leave to be at home with her second son.

Sports 1988-Cougar Spirit The past year produced many fine athletic performances, but it was especially highlighted by some stellar participation in state and invitational tournaments by a few MKA teams.

The fall season saw the football team qualify for the first time to play in the Parochial B North football state playoffs. Though the team lost the game, its perfor­ mance was inspirational for MKA and for the prep ranks as the team played admirably against over­ whelming numbers and odds.

Both the boys’ and girls’ basketball teams played into the finals of MKA’s invitational holiday tournament, and both teams finished second.

The ice hockey team capped an extremely fine season by finishing first in the B Division of the National Conference of the New Jersey Interscholastic Hockey League, thus earning the right to play for the Gordon Cup. The team also won the New Jersey Independent School Division II State Championship.

The boys’ and girls’ fencing teams had very fine seasons, with the girls again undefeated in dual meet competition. They won the overall state championship for the fourth straight year. On the way to that championship, the girls won their district tournament; they also earned another victory in the prestigious Santelli Tournament.

These excellent performances, among many fine ones, enabled us to add more banners to the rafters of the “Dome!’

COUGAR DAY One day in March, Dr. O ’Connor surprised MKA by traveling to all three campuses to introduce a colorful new cougar mascot. Accompanied by the bandaged “old” mascot, varsity and JV cheerleaders, the new cougar led students in favorite school cheers.

A spirited day, “what?”

Jim Garino '88 was voted the best goalie in the state.

From The Office o f External Affairs —Annual Giving “ Let’s Make It Their Century,” MKA‘s 1987-88 Annual Giving Campaign, ended June 30 w ith a total of $397,000 raised. The $350,000 goal was surpassed with an 11% increase. For details see MKA’s Annual Report this fall.

—A Blast From the Past” was a huge success! On Saturday night April 16, the Upper School gym was the scene of PAMKA’s event of the year—a rock and roll sock hop where everyone “ rocked around the clock” to Phil Dirt and the Dozers. A raffle of fabulous 50’s and 60’s items in addition to a raf­ fle for an MKA tuition brought the evening’s proceeds to $23,000.

—One of the priority goals iden­ tified by the Board o f Trustees in their recent long-range plan was to provide the right physical facilities for MKA’s athletic program. Cur­ rently, effort and money are focused on completing the new playing field at 40 Upper Mountain Avenue. Construction began in January 1988 and w ork is pro­ gressing on schedule. It is hoped that the field will be ready for use this fall.

If anyone is interested in making a contribution to help complete the field, please send your gift to “ Friends of the Field” in care of the Office of External Affairs.

APC Conference

A

MKA hosted a regional conference of the Alumni Presidents’ Council on April 21, 1988. APC is a support and training network for volunteers and professionals in independent school alumni relations and development.

The conference attracted alumni association presidents and dedicated volunteers, and alumni and develop­ ment directors from 40 schools who shared coffee and conversation—and their publications—throughout a day filled with brainstorming sessions and workshops.

APC directives in hand, MKA’s Virginia Montemurro, Assistant Director of External Affairs, and the staff worked out the logistics of the day so successfully that the APC coordinator, Sally Everett, wrote, “You provided a setting in which the delegates could happily focus on the task at hand, while aware that they were in the midst of a thriving independent school community.”

MKA Alumni Association President Robert A. Hoonhout ’71 welcomed guests, and Aubin Zabriskie Ames ’54 gave a brief history of the school. Prin­ cipal Fran O’Connor was the keynote speaker. Her speech on changing demographics was, in the words of Penny Marshall, APC Vice President for Program, “...informative, inspiring, and fun to listen to. All that, with demo­ graphics in the title, is the sign of a gifted speaker.”

Dr. O’Connor spoke about the effects of the two-income family, the transient family, and the minority population on independent schools. “...The paucity of volunteers is unbelievable. What it means is that we have to restructure. We are never going to be able to run our non-profit organizations without volunteers.” She talked about the year 2000 and what school will be like 10 years from now.

“My guess is that most day schools will open at 7 a.m. and close at 6 p.m. with programs and adult supervision all the way through...Many student activities will be placed on the weekends so that parents can attend...We will see fund­ raising go to finite projects.”

The day brought advice and inspira­ tion to those who attended and letters of praise and thanks to MKA.

Aubin Zabriskie Ames ’54 To Receive Distinguished Alum ni Award

The criteria for the Distinguished Alumni Award state, “The recipient should have achieved distinction in some field of endeavor, or through outstanding character or dedication been of special service to humanity!’

This year’s recipient is not an either/or; she has achieved both.

Aubin Zabriskie Ames has spent her life in community service as a volunteer. She has done so with such distinction that she has already been recognized by her peers: she was the first recipient of the Sustainer of the Year Award from the Junior League of Montclair-Newark.

A life-long resident of Montclair, Aubin graduated from The Kimberley School and from Smith College. For more than 20 years, ' while raising her family, she has held major offices and committee chairmanships in community organizations.

Kimberley was still a girls’ school when Aubin became involved in its Alumnae Association. She was its President and a member of the Board of Trustees when Kimberley and Montclair Academy were contemplating the merger, and provided thoughtful guidance during that tumultuous time. She also became the first President of the combined Alumni Association, forging a new organization from the two disparate groups.

During the 14 years Aubin was a trustee of MKA, she sat on and chaired innumerable committees that met morning, afternoon, and night. It fell to her, as President of the Board in 1978 when Principal Richard Ward Day died, to carry out a long-range plan and guide an interim head while searching for a permanent replacement. “That the school prospered and grew during these critical years was in no small measure due to Aubin’s dedica­ tion. . .and to her remarkable ability to unify the Board, administration, faculty, students, parents, and alumni in pursuit of her goals” according to former Board Presi­ dent James Vandermade, ’35. With a relentless eye for the budget, she

has also been chairman of develop­ ment and finance committees, and is tireless as a fundraiser. Her philosophy is simple: “It is our privilege, our challenge and our responsibility!’

In addition to her commitment to MKA, Aubin has been President of the Smith College Club of Mont­ clair and a class fund agent, and a board member of the Educational Consortium for Cable Television.

She is a trustee of the Florence and John Schumann Foundation, a trustee of the Montclair Visiting Nurse Association, and President and trustee of the Montclair Foun­ dation. Last spring she was ap­ pointed a trustee of the Montclair Public Library by the mayor.

Aubin and her husband, Lincoln Ames, have three children, all educated at MKA: Heidi ’81, Mark ’86, and David ’89.

The MKA Alumni A ssociation-^! and the Class of ’54—are delighted that the 1988 Distinguished Alumni Award honors Aubin Zabriskie Ames, the quintessential volunteer.

Editor’s Note

TKS Mrs. Jonathan Chatellier (Alice Vezin) 16 West Elm Street, Yarmouth, ME 04096

As those o f you in classes that have secretaries already realize, we are now using only one m ailing each year to obtain news.

News gathered by the one official m ailing w ill be in the FALL magazine. SPRING m agazine Class Notes are taken from reunion, holiday, and phonathon news, the fla p on the A nnual G iving rem ittance envelope, and the “G rapevine” on the inside back cover. Although the news m ight seem "old,” we have fo u n d that m ost people love to read news whenever. This tim e lapse is unavoidable, as the processing o f Class Notes fro m secretary to A lum ni Office to classmates to secretary to A lum ni Office to typesetter to printer covers a 14 to 16 week period! Please remember that you can send a note to your class secretary or to the A lum ni Office anytime.

To those o f you whose class has no secretary, bow w ould you like to volunteer?

The jo b has been sim plified to the p o in t that you w ill probably fin d it downright enjoyable! It is no exaggeration to say that the position o f class secretary, like that o f class agent and reunion chairm an, is absolutely essential to the vitality o f the school. Please consider it.

14 TKS Mrs. H enry W. Jones (Elizabeth Prentiss) 254 Ivy Street, Wallingford, C T06492 After working on the Erie County committee to nominate George Bush for President, Alexandra Costikyan Jew ett had dinner with the Vice President in December.

19 MA No Secretary Herbert Baer enjoys the California leisurely pace and is trying to conquer Spanish “which seems to be on a par with English around La Jolla. Wonder why I used so much of my student days at MA on Latin instead of Spanish!”

Memories I enjoy reading about coed MKA and think back to the Armistice of 1918 when most of us boys in our military uniforms celebrated in New York and were hugged by the girls.

One asked me what the MA stood for on my overseas hat. She did not know I was just a student at the Academy so I replied, “Machine Artillery,” and was hugged again!

—Herbert R. Baer ’19

Souvenirs I spent two productive years at Montclair Academy as a boarder. I still have Roget’s Thesaurus received in English ’22 and Les Miserables for Modern Languages, same year. Also a gold football earned in 1921 when we beat East Orange!

MA No secretary Samuel Scott sees Bob Ward and George Beach at Princeton meetings. In the summer of 1987, he went over on the QE II and spent three weeks with a trip through England and Scotland.

Sam writes, “In 1925 I drove across the country with my family in an open Lincoln.

This January, my wife and I repeated the trip in her new Lincoln. Quite a difference in comfort and in the condition of the roadway!”

Howard Van Vleck’s gardens were featured in the April issue of Garden State Home & Garden magazine. In addition to stunning photographs of his home and grounds, the article extolled the ’’breathtaking Renaissance garden,” described Howard’s landscaping philosophy and offered his gardening tips.

Audrey wrote shortly after the primaries in New Hampshire. She had had the thrill of see­ ing her son, Frank Ihpper (a member of the New Hampshire legislature), interviewed on TV. Audrey lives at Westhampton Beach, L.I. Lucy says she and Hap are proud grand­ parents of five, ranging from teenagers down to a new baby boy. They now raise Christmas trees instead of Guernsey cows since the state has taken their farm for public land.

It was also good to hear from Olga Ness Ramsay at Christmas. She lives in Chatham.

I expect tour-guiding in Washington to keep me busy until mid-June, when Bill and I will head for our camp in Maine where we’ll have visits from our nine grandchildren (ranging from one college-bound down to a one-yearold) and their parents. We are booked in September for a 2 3-day trip to the Orient— China, Singapore, Hong Kong, Bali and Bangkok.

How about some news from you silent ones?

Bill and Betty O’Gorman D ixon will be moving in the fall to a new condominium at Kip’s Ridge on the Montclair-Verona line—a big change, but still close to family and friends.

It is with deepest sympathy that we express condolences to Jean Berry Walton and Elizabeth Gracy Kenny ’30.

Jean’s husband, J. Hunter Walton, died sud­ denly in March. The service was at First Con­ gregational Church, Montclair.

Elizabeth’s son, Fred Kenny, died in February. His father-in-law, Rev. George Bean, delivered the service in the same St. Luke’s Church, Montclair, where he had married his daughter and Fred. Both funerals were very amply attended due to their many dear friends and families.

On a much happier note, we enjoyed seeing both the Kennys and Waltons this past winter in Naples. It is delightful how many Kimberley friends come to Naples regularly including Karl and Jean Marquardt and Howard and Nan W illiam s Brundage ’41. C.Archer and Terry Bull Sterling own a home there and one in New Hampshire for the interim springs and falls.

We regretted very much missing a winter buffet at the farm of Ralph and Marjorie At­ water Crane. (We were dashing for the autotrain to Florida.) We note with joy that Ralph is feeling much better.

Barbara MA Dr. WalterJ. Sperling Fearrington P.O. Box 192, Pittsborough, NC 27312 Howard Reid, who divides time between Bronxville and Boca Raton, notes he has “about 15 pounds over 1934, less hair, and a rotten 18 golf handicap.” His wife “won’t quit” as an interior designer. Son Scott, a VP at Chase, spent five years in England and returned with an earl’s daughter. “Now there are three Lauras—mother, daughter, and daughter-inlaw.’’

Marston Ames’ daughter B etsy ’78 will be married in September.

Elizabeth Howe Glaze’ big news is that they are finally grandparents! Son Larry and his wife Joanna had a son in February. The proud grandparents look forward to his visit at Manasquan in August.

Though she misses all Kimberley friends out in Kansas, last summer Patricia Soverel McGee saw Kent and Jodie Murray Schmid and D oris Keller Hamlin in Connecticut and Mary Ayres Schweppe in Maine; this winter saw Jean W inpenny Manley in Florida; and talked with them all at Olive Cawley Wat­ son’s in New York in April!

Charlotte Altemus Patton missed the 50th reunion with many regrets. “Betty Rhoades McCabe shared her wonderful photos...

Everyone looked wonderful. God bless! I’m sad to report the death of my brother John last November. He had so many Academy and Kimberley friends...My love to all.” Our con­ dolences to Charlotte.

“It hardly seems possible to be coming up on 70 years,” writes Olive Cawley Watson.

“However, I have a husband of 47 years, 6 children and 13 grandchildren (two are fresh­ men at Brown University). Greenwich has been home for 40 years; North Haven, Maine, sum­ mers...Three of us from ’36 were in Antigua at the same time this winter—Evie Van Wie Penick, Celia D egolyer McGhee and me.”

MA No secretary Ted Etherlngton keeps in touch with Mont­ clair through brother Roger ’41, and fellow trustees of the Schumann Foundation. He also does some “Boardsitting” (ADP). The Etheringtons split their time between Hobe Sound, Fla. and Old Lyme, Conn., and they’ve taken to cruising—‘the easy way to see the world’s edges.”

“I am delighted to have seen Nancy and Bruce Swenson (in Santa Fe),” writes Jim Ritchie, “and Marty D w yer’s daughter Didi Brooks. ...All of my five children and seven grandchildren are either in Santa Fe or Midland, Texas, to which I go every other week. Going back to Montclair for sister Con­ n ie R itchie DuHamel’s (’46) girls’ weddings keeps us constantly on the road.”

44 TKS Mrs. Nancy Heydt Green 99 Belvidere Road, Falmouth, MA 02540 Some good news and some bad news from Janet Harris O’Toole. While walking to work (“Baby Gold Jewelry—a fun job”) she fell and fractured her wrist, which kept her out of commission for six months. Good news is two extended trips to Bermuda visiting son Richard and many friends, and a planned return in July.

She and John plan to attend his 45th reunion at Holy Cross in June.

Betty Specht writes about Christmas with Louisa, now 8!4, and Diana, 2 Vi. What memories she brought back talking about youngsters pretending to believe in Santa Claus in order to perpetuate the myth! Betty has sold her “Bread and Chocolate” shop and the whole building of seven shops and eight apart­ ments. Betty has worked so hard for so long and now wants more time to devote to her young family.

Bob and Janice Mount Shruhan moved to Orient, Long Island (“more New England than New England’’) from New Hampshire in 1986, and love it. She is still “a nut on boats” and was out scraping paint on her 22 ft. Catalina sailboat when I called her in March. She races competitively and is on the Orient Race Com­ mittee. Bob is active in the historical society and in the antique business.

Mary Smythe Coley has a small private practice in child and adolescent psychiatry at her home in West Hartford, small because of local zoning laws. At the Institute of Living mental hospital she cares for patients not well enough to come to her home.

Daughter Sue is studying at the Museum of Fine Arts School in Boston; her husband Joe is in Harvard Medical School. Peter Coley is a stockbroker with Drexel, Burnham in Boston.

I caught Connie Soveral Gattle at home in Lake Park, Fla. on a Sunday morning. Tom has a chain of bedding and bath shops, six in Florida and, I believe, two in North Carolina, and is thinking of opening one on Cape Cod. Much of the Gattles’ time is spent driving from shop to shop—‘...an adventure. We take all the back routes and poke around on the way.” This winter they were unable to visit Steve and Bet­ ty Deyo Garner in Vero Beach, as they had the two previous years. Connie said Betty looks wonderful and plays tennis daily.

I went to Harbour Island, Bahamas, in late February, to spend three weeks with my parents. After a few blissful days, Mother fell and broke her hip, and after taxis, launches, air ambulances, the hospital in Nassau, more am­ bulances, and a Learjet, we arrived at Moun­ tainside for Mother’s hip surgery. Mother, Father, dog Suzie and I all survived, and Mother is making good progress. I’m back at work at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.

She reported having seen Petey Hoffman Reade ’47, who also lives on the island; Nancy Nevins D’A njou, who lives in Connecticut; and Rudd Trimble Kenvin. Leigh called Josie Murphy Rayermann for the first time in 37 years, and they “had a good chat.”

Florence (Pete) Lamborn Peters says husband Landon, with an investment advisory firm in Princeton, doesn’t miss the NYC com­ mute. Their children and grandchildren are all doing well. Pete keeps occupied with favorite volunteer tasks, enjoys tennis and gardening.

Sue Ailing M iller sent a New York Times clipping about the wedding of daughter Darcy (publisher of Chief Executive magazine). Tony has a 15-minute stroll down Central Park South to Fifth Avenue where he’s a VP with the Council for Aid to Education. Sue is the col­ lege advisor at the United Nations International School.

Judy Shearer Thrabull moved to Winter Haven, Fla. two years ago. Their son, daughter, and Bob’s mother all live in Florida. Judy reminisced about the reunion we had—she, Nev, Josie and I—20 years ago!

Pat Driver Shuttleworth is still glowing over their trip to Australia in 1987 to see the America’s Cup races. She is busy with the Historical Society and her big project is a book

on the 1938 hurricane, as this is its 50th anniversary year. “All the kids are fine, no one married. Mother, 85, is doing well.”

Roger and Rudd Trimble Kenvin have moved back East to Arlington, Va. Roger took early retirement to devote himself to writing, taught in London for April and May, and they traveled for a month.

Bill and Barbie Creighton Ulbrand are fine; she still sells Avon (for 25 years!); daughter Lynn, husband and their daughter Jamie have moved to Staten Island.

Josie Murphy Rayermann has been busy with family: her mother, 97, has not been well; oldest son Patrick has been in Germany so his wife and baby daughter have been staying with Josie. Younger son, Richard, the Naval aviator, was stationed aboard the U.S.S. Constitution during “the troubles” in the Persian Gulf in 1987. When the ship returned to the U.S., Josie’s husband, Ed, sailed back on it from Pearl Harbor to San Diego (something male relatives are allowed to do).

My sister Sheila Feagley Jam es ’43 and I had lunch with Anne Gerhauser Buchbinder in Chicago. Anne is about to launch a new real estate business.

As for the Wittels: Jerry was made a VP of The Aerospace Corp. Daughter Laura lives in Portland, Ore.; son Steve is in San Luis Obispo.

I was appointed to the Board of Thistees of the Palos Verdes Library District, and had to run an election campaign (successful) when that term ended. So now I’m a public servant. I’m also a trustee of the Museum of Neon Art in down­ town Los Angeles. I held a bang-up 60th birth­ day bash over the Thanksgiving weekend—15 of us at a hotel in South Coast Plaza with fami­ ly flying in from all over the country!

In April Betty Specht ’44 and daughters visited her cousin three blocks from here.

What a treat! We hadn’t seen each other since 1944—what an amazing experience to feel all the years fall away.

Keep the cards, letters, phone calls—and visits—coming!

All looked “pretty svelt and vital.” Abby expressed appreciation to Connie and H eidi Ames Troxell for the red-carpet treatment on her visits to Montclair. She looks forward to grandchidren, traveling, and pursuing worthwhile causes. ... Speaking of Connie, The New York Times announced the engagement of her daughter Emily ’81x. By the time you read this, the planned June wedding should be a happy memory.

Nancy Rudd Wahlberg and Mike enjoy the good life in Lakeville, Conn.; both are enthusi­ astic gardeners. Sister W eezle ’47 and family live nearby. Nancy ends, “Still enjoy being

head of Tbwn Civic Beautification Committee and walking and seeing M.’s three grand­ children (with parents).”

From Joan D enney Carlisle: “The birth of the MKA history, W ithin These Halls, is im­ minent. Husband Rob, author, is putting the finishing touches on his effort, and proof­ readers and publisher cross the threshold with some frequency. The book traces the begin­ nings of Montclair Academy, The Kimberley School, Brookside and MKA, bringing the reader to the present. Included are 107 inter­ views with faculty (current and former) and many alums. It contains approximately 150 il­ lustrations.” A vote of thanks is hereby extend­ ed to Rob for what sounds like a super job!

TKS Mrs. D avid Hannegan (Louise Rudd) 301 Concord Road, Carlisle, MA 01741 Well, friends, I misunderstood the deadline, so missed the last issue. Reunion was terrific!

We missed you who couldn’t make it; you missed a grand “catching up.” There were 12 of us plus a few brave husbands: Joan Cook, Andy and Katy Watt C angelosl, Ed and Petey Hoffman Reade, Patty Cox M ansfield, Kathryn Crowell, Dave and Cindy Youngman Adams, Bar Nash Hanson, Jim and Jay Smith Hague, Teeny R edfleld Sander, Walt and Lila Rappaport Landau, Bill and Anne Staudlnger Abels, and W eezle Rudd Hannegan.

I’ve heard that at a reunion, after five minutes, everyone looks the same. It’s true!

Teeny, Bar, Cookie and I stayed at the Redfields’. Patty was at her old home on Fuller­ ton Ave. next to St. Luke’s. Mrs.Redfield looked wonderful—such nostalgia to be in that house again! We heard Dr. O’Connor speak at reunion luncheon and had a guided tour of the Lloyd Road facilities afterward (it looks good!).

Petey and Ed were returning from Maryland after the arrival of their second grandchild.

The Redfleld contingent walked to Gordon Place and environs in the afternoon and the Fawcetts (Fay Taft ’52) were kind to let us tour #9 (my old home). Then down Glen Road past the old Ritchie and Harrison houses with a stop to see Mrs. Youngman, who was delighted to see us.

The dinner at the Golf Club was even more fun than lunch. Think of all the parties, dinners and dances we went to in that lounge!

Standy and Bill, Lila and Walt plus the local husbands joined us.

One of the perks of being co-chair of re­ union is that you have an excuse to call classmates. I had good chats with Midge B ethell Cross (she and Court went to Bermuda), D ede Loasby Eisen (her daughter was coming to visit), Cyn Overton Blandy (she and Gray went to Florida to visit daughter Robin) and Nancy H ollenbeck (except she gave me the sad news that she has lymphoma).

1 must say she sounds on top of the situation and says her golf game is still good* Several people sent photos which were passed around at dinner along with “oldies” brought by some of us there. Jay and Bar took pictures of the day and kindly sent some

around. (Jay is a professional photographer and has a wicked sense of humor in “doctoring” photos!)

Regular news: Janet H eller is a freelance writer in Baltimore, contributing regularly to "Museum & ArtsAVashington” and "The Sunpapers.”

Son Claude graduated from U. of California at Santa Cruz and is a furniture maker and would-be writer. Son Thomas is at Boston U. and daughter Kate is a technician at Johns Hopkins Hospital.

Court and Midge B ethell Cross love living in New London, N.H. on Lake Sunapee. Court is semi-retired, allowing him to tinker with his antique cars—they have driven across the country in 1913 and 1911 Pierce Arrows! Both enjoy tennis and cross-country skiing and their seven grandchildren.

Kathryn Crowell wrote after reunion say­ ing 40 years seem like nothing—amen! Her mother died in November, we’re sorry to hear.

Kathryn has eight nieces and nephews and by now a fourth “great!’ She teaches in South Am­ boy, N.J. It was wonderful that Katy and her hus­ band of six months came all the way from Michigan for reunion. They moved into their new home in June and in August Katy’s daughter Leslie was married. Son Griff and his wife live in Greenwich, daughter Cyni is in Portland, Ore. Sue Harrison Schumann and Ford were moving back to Scottsdale with the race horses (eight) so couldn’t make reunion—her telegram was in the last Alumni News. She anticipated a quiet Yule with only two offspring coming.

My letter to Joan Scheld came back stamped “Return to Sender—Deceased!’ This is sad news; does anyone have any information or know someone who could verify this?

Ed and Petey Reade fill their “retirement” with church work, tennis and golf. She was ordained a eucharistic lay minister last year in the Episcopal Church. Their first grand­ child, Elizabeth, was born to John and Masumi Reade in Japan. Daughter Kate produced the second, Sarah, just before reunion. Son Ned teaches art and coaches sports at Trinity Pawling School.

Cindy Adams went to Florida in February with daughter Susie and her three, and hoped to ski in March. In addition to travels to Sanibel, Bermuda and golf camp in May, she still has her 10-year-old plant business—and five grandchildren.

Bob, Teeny and the Hansons cruised on the Sea Goddess from Rioto Buenos Aires, then Teeny took her parents to Longboat Key for a two-week visit. Then and Bob plan a trip west to see their California kids; they have nine grandchildren.

“Willy” Hinds Brookside School lost a revered friend when William G. Hinds died at 96 in February. Known to thousands of children as “Willy,” Mr. Hinds worked at Brookside School from its founding in 1924 until his retirement in 1965.

For 40 years he drove the school bus and served hot lunches and ran the kit­ chen for summer camps. ’’His was a one-man operation, and his energies seemed indefatigable,” says former teacher Leigh Berrien Smith.

When “Willy” retired, it took two Wednesday morning assembly periods for him to tell his life story! He had left his native Barbados at the age of 12 as a stowaway on an English cargo ship.

After several years at sea as a cabin boy, Willy was educated at St. John’s Monastery in Grenada, Spain.

He served as a seaman during World War I for Great Britain aboard dangerous ammunition catgo ships.

After the war he became an interpreter for Lever Brothers Co. and then the Royal Mail Steam Packing Company.

His travels took him around the world from Europe to the Far East and Australia—he could speak seven languages!

The seaman came to shore and became a naturalized American citizen in 1920. He worked for the Alice Foote Restaurants of New York and studied nutrition at the School of Dietetics at Columbia University. Years later, in retirement, he and his wife, Elsie, ran a catering business in Montclair.

Willy Hinds helped to found the mission that became St. Peter Claver Church where he was one of the most revered and respected parishoners “...offering advice and consultation freely on any subject to all listeners.”

We will miss him.

Robert Cottingham, MKA Class of 1984, has earned a place on the U.S. Olympic Fencing Team. Ranked #1 Sabre in collegiate fencing, Bob won this year’s NCAA and Eastern championships and helped Columbia University to its second consecutive national title.

In addition to fencing a full collegiate season (he graduated from Columbia in May with a degree in history), Bob “sparred with the best” at the New York Fencer’s Club and improved his stature by competing in national and international tournaments. Last summer he competed in the World University Games and was fifth at the Pan American Games.

Injured last fall, he was five month behind in training and did not enter the Olympic trials until March. He has a long summer of preparation before competition in Hungary in August and two weeks training in Hawaii prior to the Games in Seoul.

The New York Times and Sports magazine (March) have done feature articles on Bob and the winning team—‘Columbia’s Other Amazing Streak!’ The Times noted that Bob was introduced to the sport by his sister Paige '79 after a chance meeting with the MKA fencing coach Carmen Marnell, who wondered if her brother would be interested in trying something new between football and lacrosse seasons!

Bob Cottingham, at 22, is the youngest member of the sabre team.

“My goal!’ he says, “is to compete in four or five Olympics. Most fencers hit their peak in their mid-30’s. So I figure I should make the team in 2004!’

MKA wishes him well in 1988!

35

From Maria: Chris Nem etz writes, “Had a blast last summer (1987) in Washington, D.C. as a Congressional Intern, which forced me to get a haircut. Still a philosophy major at Connec­ ticut College. Almost had a heart attack when I encountered freshman Pat Coyle ’87!’

A xel A llgeier spent the summer of ’87 in Brussels working at IBM, then toured Europe with two friends. Scott Schwartz, an interna­ tional affairs major at Lafayette College, spent last summer at the U. of Salamanca in Spain. At school he is on the executive council for his fraternity, president of the Lafayette chapter of the National Political Honor Society, and stu­ dent rep. for curriculum planning for the col­ lege. Scott plans to get a master’s in Latin American and Caribbean studies.

D oug Busch studied molecular biology at the U. of Colorado and will begin medical school at the U. of Chicago this fall, to become a proctologist. Judy Brown is also headed for med. school. Parts of her senior thesis on genetically transmitted diseases will be published in various scientific journals.

Bryn Fleming spent the ’86-87 school year in Florence, enriching her major of Italian literature. From time to time she met up with David Rento, who was also studying in Florence. Dave is majoring in economics.

Cam Fleming took a junior semester abroad in Edinburgh, Scotland, and then spent some time living in New York City investigating insider trading at Goldman, Sachs.

Notes on the lighter side: Alex Lee finished 20th at the National Fencing Championships in March, despite the fact that Brown’s fencing team is only a club sport and receives little coaching—in fact Alex was the sabre coach!

Alex is also training for the ’88 Olympics—in synchronized swimming, to the tune of “Tiptoe through the Tulips!’ Heather Gibson, meanwhile, is training to be an astronaut for the next space shuttle mission. Joe Leonardi says he’s become a Hari Krishna in San Francisco and invites all his friends to visit, maybe even “stay awhile!’

I hope you are all doing well. Take care!
