Over the March vacation, I accompanied Terry Greer, Judy Polonofsky and Christie Austin from the External Affairs Office, and senior faculty members Ken Gibson and Judy Nesbit to Washington, D.C. There we met with D.C.-area MKA alumni at a Saturday reception - an event that followed a lacrosse game against Sidwell Friends School. (No, the President and Chelsea did not attend that game.)

This event was an eye-opener for m e.' It reminded me of what is called in educational jargon “outcomes.”

That is, I witnessed firsthand the results of an MKA education. As a relative newcomer to MKA, I confess I was interested in what sort of men and women these MKA graduates had turned out to be.

Our current faculty and staff continue-the tradition of top-caliber people teaching and working closely with our students every single day. In addition, we have fine alumni and parents who are willing to work cooperatively with our campuses and who give so much of their time in classroom and fundraising activities.

All the alums I met were upbeat * they had an infectious optimism. They were successful as human beings in the conduct of their lives and they were successful with their careers. They unanimously and enthusiastically attributed their successes to the educational grounding they had received at MKA - at Brookside, at Kimberley, at Montclair Academy, and at The Montclair Kimberley Academy.

O u tco m es

What about the future for MKA? What are we doingand how a r e w e g oin g to turn ou t? At age 20,S h e institution consisting of jiiree merged schools now called The Montclair Kimberley Academy is flourishing.

At the same time, it is facing stiff competition from schools that are constandy raising major funds and building facilities. MKA will never be known for its athletic fields, but we do have a splendid faculty and programs. MKA d eserves to continue as a national leader of independent day schools. We have a felling responsibility to maintain MKA’s excellence and prestige.

One graduate is traveling to Russia as part of an effort associated with a foundation for art. Another graduate is a personal aide to Hillary Rodham Clinton. A third interrupted her higher degree program to raise wonderful children. One, a former high-ranking official with the State Department, arrived wearing a tuxedo because he was on his way to the opera. One had left employment at Georgetown University and was now with a group that brought international dignitaries to Washington. One was distressed about education and wished that her grandchildren could attend MKA. Another MKA graduate was a doctor who could serve at any prestigious hospital, but had decided to contribute at D.C. General Hospital, a hospit^||where the problems of the city bring a p t of action requiring instant and accurate decisions. The compelling stories went on and on.

Those who studied anytaught and struggled and built before us have handed the T.995 MKA an obligation to ensure that MKA provides its students the highest caliber education possible in facilities that significantly enhance education. To that end, the Trustees have voted to implement the Long Range Plan, details of which are elsewhere in this Review .

For our part, my faculty, staff, and administrators pledge to work steadily to keep raising the level of education so that MKA continues to be the very best school it can be.

Why were these alumni so enthusiastic about their MKA education? When I asked, their answers incfided such factors as the caliber of faculty and the rigor of their studies. They hacjjearned self-discipline that has served them well in college studies and in life.

M argaret C raw ford B ridge ’65 [1988-1992]: My term was a time of transition for MKA....There were some difficult challenges, including student disciplinary and governance issues....I think it made us stronger in thé . long run. Hhad the opportunity to work with two outstanding educators and assist in the hiring of a third, Dr. Greer.

A new tradition began in May with the installation of a gallery of portraits in the conference room by the Headmaster’s office. Dr. Peter R. Greer recognized the past Presidents of the MKA Board of Trustees at a reception in their honor, and, as a tribute to their dedication and hard work, unveiled seven framed photographs in the newly-named Presidents’ Room.

A ustin K oen en [1992-1994]: I considered my two most important goals to be the formulation of a Long Range Plan and the orientation of Dr. Greer into the life and workings of a private school....I feel the Board accom plishedlloth things with stinpessl. .

The afternoon was filled with reminiscing as each honored guest spoke of the highlights of his or her years as President of the Board. Their memories excerpted below - combine to make an interesting 20year overview of the merged school.

Other vivid memories are of the untold hours of consultation with Trustees, faculty, and parents in helping to overcome the inevitable frictions incurred in adjusting to the new environment; at the end of my term the satisfaction in knowing that most of these challenges had been met and that a solid foundation had been provided for the future growth of .the school.

Aubin Z abriskie A m es ’54 [1977-1980]: I think I am the only President who served with three different Principals. One of the biggest challenges of my term was dealing with the shock of Principal Dick Day’s sudden death...but we were very fortunate to find a ^ superb interim in Ed Read.

The Longflange Planning Committee has guide^l the school through a long, thorough process culminating in the plan for MKA outlined below.

The plan was; submitted to and approved by the Board of Trust y at its M ay 1995 meeting.

4. the hiring of an architectural-planning organization, The Hillier Group, which haftf-4 painstakingly taken all the data from the MKA community, conducted its own surveys and on­ site evaluations, and developed several plans that clearly meet the needs expressed Tjy the MKA community.

E lem en ts o f th e P lan It is now time to consider the p ro p o sed elem en ts Hf the Plan. The proposal was designed to be consistent with our needs and with our stated C om m on P urpose: “....W e w ill en cou rage o u r com m u n ity to ra ise its h ead to m eet th e stan d ard s set fo rth .”

I. Tri-C am pus T echnology Technology has been selected as a key component: the goal is to make MKA preeminent in gjltech n ological aspects of education. MKA’s three campuses wiMbe wired with cabling systems that havedife capacity for voice, data, and video communication. The construction will include the cabling, data closets, and data ports in each space.

B ack grou n d During th4l8f-jtw o years, there have been productive discussions as to the: continuing improvement of the academics and facilities? along with increasing our endowment over the n ex t five to ten or more years. Our important dialogue has taken place at a pivotal time - the resurgence of the Academy in reality and in the minds of the MKA im m u n ity and those who are attracted by what MKA provides the students who a * Entrusted to its care. As a result of the Boardwieliberations, much progress has been triad«! including: 1. the deve»pm ent of a plan encouraged Hi faqfitHof the MKA community to participa® in information-gatgering K isS ia tellw ith t1re|present and future educational and facilities needs that must be addressed if MKA desires to meet the needs of its studentsBnd faculty and to continue its p S itio n among prestigiouMndependent day B c h o S s .

The new technology will incorporate many advances, inegding: • electronic mail for^ommunication among students and faculty, and p|<§vide worldwide access. ' • a distancetlearning room to access other schools and national scholars and also receive satellite transmissions.

• internet gateway to access the world information network.

The Middle School science rooms will be renovated, upgraded, and suitably equipped.

VI. Upper S ch ool P ool A high-quality swimming program is a traditional strength at MKA. Th|jU pper School pool has been in need of repair for some time. The pool will be renovated, including the refurbishment of the deck area and the replacement of the mechanical/filtration systems and scoreboard.

III. Arts in th e Upper S ch ool To enhance the arts at the Upper School, both the Vandermade Art Studio and the Deetjen Drama Lab will be modernized and made far more functional and attractive. The scope of these renovations will include the complete refurbishing of the spaces, including built-in equipmengfinishes, lighting, ventilation, and acoustical/sound systems within the theater area.

VII. U pgrade the S h ap e o f E ach C am pus To remain strong, to continue to compete with other schools that have dramatic new buildings, we must make our old building^ home alive.

The decision to renew the aging plant includes refurbishing - where needed - rugsBights, ceilings, and painting.

“O u r...p rogram m ust p ro v id e...an ed u cation th a t asp ires to p re p a re stu d en ts fo r full and active citizen sh ip .”

IV. Tri-C am pus C itizen ship C ore C urriculum Against the background of academic rigor and accomplishment and community respect stands another defining dimension of MKA: the school’s active concern with ethical issues and education, best but not solely exemplified by the TriCampus Citizenship Core Curriculum. A program with national recognition will be established with curriculum development that includes ethics and the formation of character, as well as grounding in public discourse, logic, founding principles, founding documents, and leadership.

VIII. E n dow m en t - F acu lty C om pensation, F in a n c ia l A id (in clu d in g C om m unity S cholars), a n d G en eral E n dow m en t MKA already has an endowment, but one far too small to have a true impact on program or to provide significant financial security for the future. Our outstanding faculty is a school hallmark. Additional endowment will provide funds for faculty compensation and resources to support continuing education to enhance their skills.

“We a re con vin ced th a t o u r sch o o l com m u n ity m u st ch allen ge th e to ta l p erso n , an d th e re fo re w e p rovid e a b ro ad ran g e o f o p p ortu n ities b eyon d th e cla ssro o m .”

Financial aid assists MKA in attracting strong students from a broad range of backgrounds.

Additional endowment is needed in support of financial aid, which includes the Community Scholars Program begun in 1969-

V. N ew G ym nasium Court and field time is so tight that some students with late practices may not get home until 9 p.m. - far too late to be settling down to homework. The plan suggests building a twostation teaching gymnasium for physical education plus providing an athletic facility for Sluch sports as basketball and volleyball, to be shared by both Middle and Upper School teams, Middle Schooj|physical education and athletic club activities.

Income generated from endowment will give MKA the financial security needed to continue the tradition of excellence in education.

Thus the Long Range Plan maps a Scenario that supposes exciting new programs, selective enhancements to a workable but aging plant, and essential growth for the endowment.

N ew ton B . Schott Jr., Trustee C h airm an o f th e Long R an ge P lan n in g C om m ittee

The gymnasium will be fully equipped for both teaching and spectator sports events, including: folding bleachers; wall padding; backboards for basketball; a drop-down dividing net to create two teaching stations or two practice courts.

We Were All Freshmen

by L ori W in d olf C rispo ’78 M v first day of school at The Montclair Kimberley Academy » in c id e d with the first school day in MKA’s existence. I was one of the new kids, a public school kid, starting at the newly merged.Montclair KimberleyAcademy in Se member Ig S ® I lin l| ® p with all the kids in W ^H Arts Center to pick up my books on ■■ stage and folded m y s e lf» talk to some o f the others in line, if only to be a b l^ ttj tell my mom later that I had, indeed, m et^oil^ nice new friends.

As ^new com er to the Academy, I was able to listen to the issuejlthat divided the students And the faculty with an outsider’s objectivity. I didn’t havlimany answers, nor did I have the passion for the fight, since I didn’t havj a B rsonal stake in the traditions. Like any high school freshman, I mostly cared about making new friends, getting tfiC grades to. go to a good college, and having some fun in the process.

I took my bot|*of books. tcfSny new locker and tried the|ldmbiM.tion that had. been given t im e . No luck.

So m eo n ^ & d to K | Mike to fix it. I looked around and w ® pointed in th M iiSction of .a cluster of very loud boys swarming one:|W the cuslpdiatfs, Mike Gallelo. They were all joking with him and|Jatching up on their summer stories. It seemed a formidable Crowe 1 to m|| Another boy yelled, “Hey Mike, this girl n ^ ^ Sg p u r help.” I was mortified and relieved. The crowd turned and lo ok elM n d MikapusjUed his way out, with a big smile on his fagfe. E o w can I help you, hon?” lie asked, and p re c e d e d to get the locker unstuck.

I ro u b w ia tfe d a y ’s entering freshmen are m ijjh different. As in 1 ^ 5 , MKA once again has an inspiring New Englander with a funny accent in charge, wholgpeaks of values, ,e|hics, and a solid liberal arts education. We continue to define ourselves, only now, instead of asking “Who are we?”, the question is, “What sets-tl| apart?” The MKA im m u n ity has spent hours upon hours drawing up

Looking back, it sjem s that we w e r e f t fr^hm en at the timeMearchingi for a smiling face in the crowd to help. Studentij teachers, and administrators alike were caught in the developmental struggle of an emerging identity, whether it v g s the ¡Irhool’s of our own.

Two Decades of Dress Code, Morning Meetings, and Other Everyday Events

by G eorge H rab Upper School faculty member since 1969

O ur C om m on P urpose, a document that maps out what we stand for and where our objectives lie. Old traditions have been revived over the past couple of years and new ones have been initiated, such as the MKA-Newark Academy Thanksgiving Football Game.

In essence, the work that was started twenty years ago continues.

Students, teachers, an d administrators alike were caught in the developmental struggle o f an emerging identity...

During this twenty-year evolution, only the superficial details have changed. For students and faculty, the faces and the accessories are the only things that are different. The Dress Code is still an issue, even though uniforms are history. The gadget of the moment in 1975, the cool and expensive Texas Instrument Pocket Calculator, has been replaced with cooler, more expensive IBM Think Pad computers. Yet the same family environment exists among students and faculty.

Teachers still demand excellence from the students while managing to be approachable, available and more than “just a teacher.” Students, as always, are concerned with friends, grades, c& eg e, sports, extracurricular activities, avoiding detention and getting to graduation.

But for MKA students in particular, these concerns and the experiences they will generate are colored by the unique atmosphere of the school. At MKA, the friends you make, the teachers you know, the things you learn and activities in which you are involved, will all play a significant role in your life, for many years to come.

E a c h 0 f us has stories to tell of a special MKA person who made art impact on us, whether for a moment, a year or a lifetime. This experience is what makes MKA great - and what sets us apart. * The official MKA school song was com posed by N ixon Bicknell a n d Lois Riley in 1 9 8 4 in honor o f the tenth anniversary o f the m erger.

Though it may seem like a tremendously hackneyed expression, appearing in yearbook after yearbook, nonetheless I’ll use it once again, “Ever-changing, yet eternally the same.” These words certainly » m e to mind as I think back on .the experiences and people of MKA over its first 20 years of existence. The school has seen many, many fine students, faculty, adminis­ trators, and staff people come and go. MKA has weathered many winds of change, stormy relations, cyclones of personalities, and egos of hurricane force.

Yet, through all this, it has maintained such a consistency of purpose and standards that all alumni can continue to share proudly the common crossgenerational bond that is represented by their diploma - regardless of generation or era.

Oh, there may have been some changes over these past two decades, but, all in all, most of these changes, do run in cycles, and if one hangs around long enough one does tend to see history repeat itself. And this writer certainly qualifies as having hung around long enough, sometimes even in effigy! So what follows are some musings and reminiscences on a few of those cycles, some impressions, ramblings and rantings about the. common everyday events we all shared at MKA’s Upper School over the years.

U n iform du jo u r In dress and appearance w e’ve gone from uniforms in the 1970s (spring and fall “handiwipes,” winter blazers and kilts for girls, blazers and slacks for boys) to a strict dress code in the early 80s, to a convoluted dreSs code in the late 80s (no “hightop” sneakers!) to an even more convoluted dress code in the 90s, to the point where the “U” word is popping up again: UNIFORMS! It seems that no matter what interpretation of the dress code was made by the dreaded Chudomel-McBride-Van Eerde-Cooper-Reydel disciplinarian monster, the students always seemed fully capable of finding their own unique interpretations of the rules. See what I mean about cycles? In clothing styles, boys have gone from Brady Bunch collars and polyester suits to wearing unlaced work boots, to

unlaced sneakers, to pants worn below the hips, shirts outside the pants, and, after school hours, baseball caps so tight (forward, or even more rakish backward) on tM head that afflblood f» w to the brain must be short-dnSited.

Girls have gone from wearing their blazers to carrying them in their hand, to leaving them in their book locker (for which my daughter received her one and only dflention in high school, from the b ou ton n iered Mr. Stackpole), to leaving them at home, to appearing ps if they have a “dress-down day” every day! Ah, yessss, UNIFORMS! In hair styles w e’ve gone from original protest ¡¡§ng hair (HAIR- The Musical!) in the 70s to Reagan conservative short and slicked in the 80s, to the anything-goes o f the 90s, with some of our preppy t» y s looking simply adorable in their Rastafarian dreadlocks.

now meets in mid-morning rather than early-morning, but that would be just to|>i cumbersome. .¿Follow?

Anyway, classes now lfegin at 8:05 a.m. because the even-wilier administration |ff the early, early 90s figured that if the wily student continues to be late to school in the early mornings, important class time may as well be missed rather than good old morning meetings.

And morning meetings have, on the whole, remaine<$p good old morning meetings,Some zanier and more creative than, others, but that always depended upon the zaniness and creativity of the students and Student Council leadership. The zaniest occurrence is what happened to the location of the podium (yep, same old podium) over®ie years. It has been moved and relocated almost as much as the college guidance office throughout the years. It’s gone from center stage, (©: left of stage, to center of orchestra pit below the stage, back on stage to center stage, and now currently again to left of stage.

But enough. Although w e’ve gone from the MKA seal to the “Pac Man” logo and now back t<gj? the MKA seal, the school motto of “Knowledge, Vision, Integrity” has remained true and unchanged. The one i constant over all these years has been the unswerving commitment of all in the MKA community to do the best job possible - always with the students’ best interests in mind. As the many classes of aBrnni come back to visit MKA - regardless o£ whatever craziness went here at school during the.* years as students - we are all gratified and rewarded in seeing the consistently high caliber and achievement of thetpitizenry coming out of MKA.

G iving D eten tion th e Slip In discipline, w e’ve gone from no detentions at all in 1975 (did the kids ever catch on quickly to that freedom), to having detentions but no “working them o ff’ because work was to be valued, to working them off (usually by helping BB Belverio in the bookstore), to Saturday morning “work” details with Gallelo, or Scotty, or Julius, to carrying chairs out of the gym forever after exams.

We’ve gone from R, S f and T blocks, to 1, 2, and 3 blocks, from 4 and 5 blocks to LI and L2 blocks, from activities period to supplementary period,, to supplemental period. We’ve gone from 3:35 dismissal, to 2:40gfo 2:45, to 2:50. But we still have those six-day cycles and NO BELLS! We’ve gone from morning meetings at 8:15 a.m. where late students needed to use all their wiles to try to avoid B e denizen of the Weiss Arts Center Lobby: the stalking and prowling Gibson-Doster-Van Eerde detention slip-in-hand monster, to morning meetings in mid-morning at pi 50 a.m. It seems that students proved themselves to be indeed wilier than the detention-slip monster, and more and more of them avoided morning meeting altogether!

Across all generations MKA alumni can be proud of their continued common bond: excellence!

So, morning meeting was moved to mid-morning, although it’s still called morning meeting even though it really should be called mid-morning meeting since it

• The Junior Class trip to Washington, D.C. - organized by faculty member David Hessler - made some Very Important Contacts. The class met Senator Bill Bradley and Congressmen Donald Payne and Bill Martini. Martini is an MKA parent. Other MKA connections: David Dollar, an alumnus of the Class of 1972, spoke to the students at the World Bank; Donna Crewes ’77 is the executive assistant to Congressman Payne.

In June four MKA physics students, all juniors, under the direction of faculty member Richarda !

Rodin, entered the Boston University College of Engineering’s fifth annual Design Competition, “Peak Performance.” The team of Amish Shah and Jeffrey Phruksaraj placed seventh ou t o f 9 0 team entries. Jo o n Choi and Eddie Nugent also went to B.U. with an entry.

The students had to design a vehicle that would, under its own power, climb a sloped ramp, stop at the top, and defend its position against another team’s vehicle. The MKA team declared its participation very worthwhile despite some ■IlSst'minute complications.

C on gratu lation s Belated congratulations and apologies to Em ily O’D ell, whose name was inadvertently omitted from the list of All-State girls’ tennis awardees in the last issue. Emily, a member of MKA’s 24-2 State Championship team, was selected to AllState, Parochial Third Team.

“It was technically a great challenge,” says advisor Rodin, enthused about the students’ excitement, “but they had an intuitive sensejdf the technical/mechanical, a great feeling for it.”

He will take advantage of this interest by mfering the MKA Science Club more hands-on p « je cts.

The good news is that she did this in her sophomore year, so MKA can expect two more years of Emily’s outstanding play.

He is also very proud of this first-time entry, since MKA - not ©ling a technical school - has “such diverse kids who have a b ro a d slant on education.”

The Fou n d ers’ Cup At the year’s final faculty meeting, Alumni Council member Kristine Hatzenbuhler O’Connor ’83 presented the 1994-95 Founders’ Cup to Primary School faculty member P atricia C. Park e. “The recipient of the Cup is representative of the best qualities of MKA’s excellence in teaching....A primary school teacher’s greatest impact and grpitest challenge comes from the daily work they do to spark a child®intellect and imagination. ...Pat has the most important quality for a teacher, an absolute commitment to the child’s point||f view.”

“To the faculty of MKA,” Kris said, “from personal experience I can state unequivocally that your reputation in this community anlgin New Jersey for academic superiority is truly outstanding and each one of you has ftbntributed to that reputation and ¡should be proud.”

Y ear O ne fo r C areer Services Thanks to the involvement of MKA parents and alumni, the Office of Career Services has confirmed that being an MKA student has distinct advantages - even after graduation! This office, divided into two areas, has successfully completed its first year.

The continued success of the Office of Career Services is directly related to the involvement o f the MKA community. We welcome all alumni and parents who would like to join us in supporting our students and alumni. Call us at 201/509-4870.

G in ger K rieg el

C areer S ervices is a networking referral bank for MKA alumni to draw on during college and for two years thereafter. About 140 parents, alumni, and faculty have signed up to be career advisors.: Thirty recent alumni have contacted the office since January to inquire about internships and/or career opportunities in all fields. Among the placements made as a direct result of the work of Career Services: a full-time job in publishing and three internships - in the arts, publishing, and politics.

An alumna from the Class of 1990 states, “The contacts that I have made through the service have provided me not only with great career advising, but also with everincreasingly fruitful leads and contacts.”

The interest in Career Services has also resulted in the expansion of our network to include the Washington, D.C. area.

The second area, the B ank o f C om m unity R esou rces, sends alumni, parents and faculty members into classrooms to share their expertise on all three campuses. About thirty volunteers from various professions were asked by faculty to speak to students this year on topics ranging from “How the Heart Works” to “Surfing the Internet.”

Dr. Larry Rosen 8 4 , a ped iatrician , shows B rookside students how he listens to their heart. Dr. Rosen visited as p a rt ofM K A ’s B an k o f Comm unity Resources, whereby alum ni an d parents volunteer in the classroom.

Later that afternoon Bill and Jean Sperling Catherwood ’68 and their charming family hosted area alumni and members of the MKA faculty and administration. Mud® like Homecoming, the reception reunited alumni who had not seen each other - or their faculty - for years.

Headmaster Peter Greer thanked alumni for their support and gave descriptions of “what a superb institution MKA continues to b e.”

JN/Ik a took advantage of the travels of the boys’ lacrosse team to meet alumni in Washington, D.C. during spring break in March. Local fans turned out to watch MKA’s scrimmage with Sidwell Friends School.

A short ceremony honoring a founder of MKA lacrosse, Mike Martin 7 4 , was held at halftime.

1995 Distinguished Alumni Award

must address pie problems of self-image and self-worth among-.our young....” Herb .backed thèse words w itlK actHn .o.n tough-issues and developed a reputation for being personally accessible.

K g are livinggin a time of changed political landscape which hasjour nation re-examining the role of government and re-emphasizing|jjfe responsibility of the individual. It is fitting, therSpre, that the incipient of thgp year’s Distinguished Alumni Award be an individual whose: life has been clearly marked by the themes of hard work, personal responsibility, and volunteerism. The Montclair Kimberley Academy Alumni Association is most pleased tH honor Herbert H. Tate Jr. of th B ciass of 1971.

Born to a former New Jersey Superior Court Judge (an Academy Trustee) and a Newark school district teacher, Herbert Tate attributes his achievement tojgK® high expectations of his parents and the challenges of academic and personal discipline he encountered at Montclair Academy, which he entered in fifth grade.

The S ed en tia lsg f HdfifrTate*>r¡academic and career history rfflid lik J a laundry list (^superlatives: He graduated cu m la u d e from Montcgdr Academy in 1971 and cu m la u d e fr||n Wesleyan UniversilJM ree and a half ^ s r s later; he r^ iv e M S t T.D. from Rutgers Law School in 1978. He was appointed Essex County Prosecutor t^ K o v e m p f Tom Keamfe the age o f |J,.?the. youngest prosecutor and first black in th e iJa te W l busiest office. There he p£f§lecuted Some notabl^B cas®. and reduced the caseload^of some ||toOQ .cases pel; year) by'Jialf in four y ears* Herb then served a lH President BusMs top law enforcement officer in the U-SBEnvironmental Prbf<J|§tion Agency in Washington.

“As a young black guy growing up, I could be anything, anybody I wanted tifibe, according to th® effort I put in,” he said in an interview with the MKA A lu m n i News in 1987.

He a lsfi» n sid e rs it his responsibility to give back to. those institutions yrhich have brought him forward.

“Kids thèse days don’t have Heroes, role models. I’d . ' like to go back and tell them what it takes to make it.”

Indeed, current MKA students benefit regularly from Herb’s candor and ex p erien ce^ * he is a ffequent participant at Career Day and a popular guest speaker.

He led the lunchtime discussion at the first Alumni Table this spring (topic: First vs.’Sixth Amendment).

Herb, also shares his expertise with MKA’s Board of .Trustees as an Advisory Trustee.

In filfe Herb was asked by GovernomChristine T » d Whitman to b|:om e President of the New Jersey Board of Public S ilite | l in charge of regulating the conduct of •tMephoneMablaand power authorities. In that position today, Herb reports dirfectly to the Governor and is a valued member of her Cabinet.

Herbert H. Tate Jr. fulfills allgifflthe possible criteria for MKA’s Distinguished Alumni Award: Ife has achieved great distinction in some field of endeavor and through Writing to the Newark S tar L ed g er as pSSfigutor in gÜtstanding characte||ànd dedication been of speciitl:;*I. 98c.

Class Notes

E d ito r’s N o te W e use one “official” yearly mailing to obtain news, which appears in the FA LL MKA Review. SPRIN G magazine Class: Notes are taken from reunion, holiday, and phonathon news, newspaper clippings, the flap on the Annual Giving remittance envelope, and the “Grapevine” on the inside back cover.

Although the items might seem “old,” we have found that people love to read news whenever. The time lapse is unavoidable, as the processing o f Class Notes from secretary to Alumni Office to classmates to secretary to Alumni Office to designer to printer covers a l 4 - t o - l 6 week period! Please rem ember that you can send a note to your class secretary or to the Alum ni Office anytime. W e keep ongoing files for each class.

T o those o f you without a class secretary, how would you like to volunteer? T he job has been simplified to the point that you will probably find it most enjoyable! The position o f alumni class secretary, like that o f class agent and reunion chairman, i§ absolutely essential to the vitality o f the isdlbol.

Please consider it.

D id you hear the story about the lady who breathed life into a frozen chicken?

W ell, it was true, and the lady was Audrey Gates Bonney ’4 2 , who lives on Fur & Feather Farm in South Harpswell, Maine.

One day last winter, a storm approaching, Audrey found Chicken N o. 7 cold and hard beneath her porch. She took it inside t| 9| give it a proper burial and found its legs wouldn’t fit into |||hoebox/casket. Audrey warmed it with a hot water bottle s6 she could bend its legs and felt a heartbeat. She breathed into its beak and thumped on its chest and in 4 5 minutes, the chicken revived. Audrey renamed the hen Valerie, for its valor; now big, Valerie is one o f her best layers.

A local paper wrote about the story; the Associated Press and National firblic Radio aired it nationwide; Regis and Kathie Lee clucked; David Brinkley talked about it on his show. Someone from Guam and Australia called. Audrey writes it has been fun. She heard that the story even reached Nepal and Moscow.

From an article in T he Times Record, M aine Though ‘jgtemi-retired,” Eleanor W att Shull s g l works three days a week at an advertising agency, and attends a painting class for two.

She has gone to a painting workshop in Maine for the last three summers; she drove there with Andy Schneidewind W alker ’4 6 last year.

Eleanor recently had her own show in a loc||j«| gallery. She is lucky to have two children and two grands near enough to visit fairly frequently.
