T

he uphill drive from campus to Bud and Jinga Moore’s old farmhouse on Pinnacle Hill Road has always been a beautiful one, a soothing departure from the hectic schedule of school life. It includes a tree-canopied dirt road past archetypal New England landscapes that have withstood time. The ride home, though, has always felt better.

I made trips to see Bud and Jinga for New Hampton history lessons, quotes for stories in this magazine, and an understanding of a man who transitioned from playing the trumpet for college tuition to flying planes in the South Pacific in the Navy. Though I visited the Moore homestead with the intent to learn more about the School, I departed less anxious about the challenges of parenting, optimistic about the future of my marriage, and a little more at ease about working with students. Is this a familiar refrain?

This issue is for T. Holmes “Bud” Moore ’38. Hopefully, it embodies the spirit of someone who lived most of his life for New Hampton School and served his country. When he made critical decisions with the future of the School in mind, he imagined a student who would leave Meservey lawn with a diploma and a purpose. The nurses and doctors featured in the medical industry story (page 64) typify the ethic of service for

which Bud cared deeply. Mike Chambers ’05 (page 58) challenged himself with his attempt to summit Mount Everest, but his work for the non-profit Flying Kites puts him in a class of global citizens that Bud would admire. Recent Meservey Medal winner Jason Alexander ’13 chronicles the history and future of Meservey Hall (page 54), and we recognize a building, only months away from restoration, that is as iconic as the silver-haired headmaster who once played music inside its walls.

This School, its students, its alumni— this community—were molded and nourished by T. Holmes Moore, and it continues to reflect his enigmatic touch. As we toast him with a tribute to “A Legendary Life” (page 42), we say thank you. Thank you for the ride up the hill. Thank you for the ride down. Thank you for everything, T. Holmes “Bud” Moore. You cared more than we ever could fathom.

heads p

Three years ago at Commencement,

I defined stewardship as “planting trees under whose shade you do not expect to sit.” I love this quote! And though I’m not entirely sure how I came upon it, it is widely attributed to Nelson Henderson, perhaps fittingly, an author about whom little is known.

The concept of stewardship grew out of the environmental movement and such champions as Emerson and Thoreau, Berry and Muir, Abbey and Stegner, Dickinson and Kingsolver to name but a few. Initially linked to the caretaking of resources, stewardship expanded to incorporate the more universal and contemporary view of congruence between self and others. In effect, what will each of us do to leave our world a better place than when we found it? It is largely about others, and this is precisely why stewardship is at once such a dauntingly complex and yet exhilarating concept to engage in with adolescents.

8 NEW HAMPTON SCHOOL FALL 2013

On that late May day, Commencement 2011, the most profound steward I have ever known sat to my right—Mr. Thomas Holmes “T.H.” “Bud” Moore. Bud and his amazingly capable partner for nearly 70 years, Norma Jean “Jinga” Smith Moore, stewarded New Hampton School for more than a half-century. The 2013-14 school year is my first—our first—without him, and I must confess I feel slightly adrift.

Three days after I arrived at New Hampton in 2005, Bud stopped by my new office in Berry Hall. He was pleased with my uninformed decision to set up shop in the same office that Fred Smith and Bud had occupied for so many years.

He laughed when I explained that it was pure coincidence.

The next afternoon, Jennifer and I—along with our thensixth-grade daughter—joined Bud and Jinga on their back porch and an amazingly impactful relationship was born.

“As with many before me, I was mesmerized with Bud but not the least bit intimidated. That sunny afternoon, Bud fortified in me, and for me, a central tenet of stewardship—that a meaningful life, a life of stewardship, should be spent in the journey of service to others.”

While I thought I was going for a history lesson, what I found was a man intensely interested in me— my background, what I thought important, what I believed in, and what made me and my family happy. Far from an interrogation of the “new guy,” I was invited “in” to the confidence of a pastoral figure. As with many before me, I was mesmerized with Bud but not the least bit intimidated. That sunny afternoon, Bud fortified in me, and for me, a central tenet of stewardship—that a meaningful life, a life of stewardship, should be spent in the journey of service to others.

And this was the journey Bud and his wife Jinga were on for decades together. He capably led NHS through the challenging economic times of the 1950s, the cultural upheaval of the 60s, the transition to coeducation in the 70s, and enrollment challenges of the 80s and early 90s. He built New Hampton into a school and in the process transformed thousands of lives.

In my first few years at NHS, Bud and I traveled together often.

At events early on in my tenure, he would introduce me by saying, “Folks, this is Andrew Menke, he’s the new Headmaster at New Hamp-

ton School, and I quite like him.”

A punctuated pause was followed by, “And you should like him too!”

And then he sat down, and with this simple endorsement, I had credibility! I initially thought that his authority and influence emanated from tenure, but I realized over time that it was a result of his ability to authentically convey his care and, perhaps more importantly, his belief in others. Bud was one of those gifted people, a human being in whose presence we feel better, stronger, more capable, and safer.

But it was more about how he always made the conversation about you. In every interaction I had with him and in each one I observed, Bud was remarkably present. Time with others was a celebration of what the other had to say, what they believed, an exploration of hopes and dreams and not a chess match of cleverness or ingenuity.

Bud was an amazingly smart man, resilient, hard working, creative, and remarkably innovative, open to new ideas and contemporary research on education. But through his humor and his collaborative, self-effacing style he always let others in, let them close, let them know they mattered.

His vibrancy both inspired and intimidated me—not because of Bud, but because of my own insecurity. And, I feel lucky to have known Bud Moore well enough to share with him all of my failings (and there are many) including not being able to remember all members of the incoming class well enough to introduce them by name and hometown as he did for decades at the first school meeting of the year. Bud’s almost photographic recall was simply astounding!

Bud was my monthly lunch companion at Bristol House of Pizza and when his hearing waned, we moved to Pat’s Seafood (smaller

dining room, easier to hear), also in Bristol. Although his wisdom is unsurpassed, as he counseled me through a number of challenging decisions, he never gave advice.

He merely asked questions and affirmed, building in me the capacity to grow and learn each time.

I referenced Bud in my address at Baccalaureate 2013, explaining his colloquialism “Top Drawah”— Bud’s standard response when I visited him in the hospital this past year. I tried to impress upon the graduating class that one’s mindset, despite circumstances, is a choice, and the consciousness of their choices could very well spell the difference between perceptions of success and failure beyond our campus walls.

And now we are without him.

It is September 14, and I look out my Berry Hall office window. I miss my guidepost, my mentor, my teacher—my friend. But as I see the Meservey maples blowing in the breeze, I am convinced that he is still with us and knows that his legacy here is secure. As a result of his six decades of remarkable service, Bud left a school with the muscle memory to continue to change lives, to build in young men and women the capacity to be more than they ever thought possible, and to recognize that relationships are the key to leaving things better than when you found them.

Mr. Moore, thank you for being a tree planter. We will continue the cultivation and benefit from the shade you have so capably provided. 

Two books & two documentaries that should be on everyone’s queue.

MATT FISK is a history buff and educational wonk. His twitter feed (@mtfisk78) is one-stop shop for the latest educational trends and ideas. Now the Director of Studies, he is spending even more time reading books on educational pedagogy and research. But he never gets too far from his roots as a history teacher; a good history book is always on his iPad or on his coffee table. Whether you are an education guru, a history enthusiast, or merely looking to learn a little bit more, Fisk has something for everyone. Here are two books and two documentaries to educate and entertain.

War Tapes and Restrepo

War Tapes follows three men from the New Hampshire Army National Guard. This documentary captures, from their perspective, the alternating terror and boredom that they experienced during their deployment.

Restrepo gets its title from an army medic, Doc Restrepo, who was killed early in one group’s deployment to Afghanistan. This documentary captures the extraordinary bond that soldiers form while surrounded by armed militants on all sides of them.

BOTTOM LINE: These two documentaries about the recent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are essential if we are going to understand the needs of our veterans. Although both of these documentaries were filmed and released several years ago now, the men and women who served in these wars need our understanding more than ever.

Red Summer: The Summer of 1919 and the

Brain Rules by John Medina

Awakening by Cameron McWhirter

In this book by molecular biologist John Medina, the way the brain works and the way that we learn is investigated.

BOTTOM LINE: It doesn’t matter if you’re a teacher, a business leader, or a parent.

There is something in this book for everyone to understand how we learn.

Author Cameron McWhirter uses a wide swath of primary sources to paint a picture of racism, oppression, and violence that gripped American cities in the summer of 1919.

BOTTOM LINE: This is a powerful book and a chapter from American history that needs to be told.

APPLE DISTINGUISHED SCHOOL

A little company in Silicon Valley recently provided New Hampton School with a stamp of approval. A leader in technology integration in independent schools, NHS was named an Apple Distinguished School in February 2013 for the implementation of a 1:1 iPad Program in 2012-13 that was the culmination of a three-year process and planning. Director of Technology Integration Hans Mundahl has led the charge for a school that has big dreams about how technology will be utilized in education.

“At the core of what we do is building a relationship between the teacher and student that will enhance learning. iPad integration is only successful when used as a tool for learning and teaching in better ways,” Mundahl says. “I’m proud to work with students who are excited to learn in innovative ways and teachers who are not afraid to take risks in and outside the classroom for the sake of their students. The 1:1 iPad program and its three-year installation process has provided the necessary time for our school to build the best and most sustainable program possible.”

Black Gold: A New Frontier in Education Coffee will not merely be a morning beverage choice for New Hampton School community members this academic year. It will be the topic of analysis, reflection, research, and healthy debate. With the most recent Strategic Plan as a guiding force and a partnership with Green Mountain Coffee Roasters providing key curricular elements, New Hampton School launched a new semester course titled “Black Gold” in September. Taught by science and history teachers, the new offering, open to juniors and seniors, embodies all of the innovative educational practices that have made New Hampton School a leader in independent school education. “One of the goals of our current Strategic Plan is to create innovative globally orientated programs to help students make personal connections and nurture lifelong learning,” said Head of School Andrew Menke. “What better way to get our students to think more globally than to use a universal commodity like coffee as a way to look at essential questions.”

Guest Speakers Bringing the world to New Hampton students and faculty for added perspective and professional development continues to be of paramount importance. Community speakers included 2012 Convocation speaker Kent Bicknell ’65, a New Hampton graduate and Head of School at the nearby Sant Bani School; Chris Herren (pictured), a former professional basketball player who spoke about his battle with and recovery from drug addiction; and Blaine Harden, world-renown journalist and author of Escape from Camp 14, the all-school read.

Faculty benefited from a start-the-year presentation from the world-renown Harvard University educational scholar Tony Wagner and an end-of-the-year address and workshop on the future of schools with Pat Bassett, former president of the National Association of Independent Schools.

“It was a tremendous success.”

EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING

— JUSTIN JOSLIN, Director of Experiential Learning, on Project Week.

Project Week (www.newhampton.org/projectweek) Do you remember Project Week? After a more than two-decade absence, New Hampton School re-ignited a tradition and the programmatic success was nothing short of spectacular. Students left the traditional classroom for the last week of the Winter Term and embraced 24 different projects. It all culminated with the Project Week Symposium. Projects challenged students to tackle an essential question, engage with their peers/outside speakers/authorities, and reflect on the experience. The result was quality content on the Project Week Blog, activity throughout the week on Twitter, and chatter around campus.

“I couldn’t be happier with the effort and energy that students and faculty brought to this week,” Director of Experiential Learning Justin Joslin said. “It was a tremendous success.” The following projects were completed in March: Building a simple 3D printer; Creating Music in a Professional Recording Studio; Production of two short films; Habitat for Humanity: Camp Mowglis; HHAB: Husky High Altitude Balloon; Kids Helping Kids; Make It Grand! Speak Your Mind; The Business of Upcycling; The Interdisciplinary Nature of Cooking; Exploring Lobster; Become a Lifeguard; Winter Expedition; Is Science Good or Bad?; Gettysburg; Sports Management; A Practical Retreat; My Big Backyard: Exploring New Hampshire’s Outdoors; Beyond Disability with Northeast Passage; Write On!; Exploring Business in Los Angeles; Makin’ It In New York; The Grand Circle Classroom Tour; and China Exchange.

Campus Transformations Summers can be sleepy times on independent school campuses, but NHS Director of Facilities Kirk Beswick and his team steered more than 80 projects large and small during a summer that was nothing short of dizzying. Though the ongoing Meservey Hall restoration and completion of the Ralph S. O’Connor ’44 House provided the most construction noise, numerous other campus improvements created construction zones in all corners of the physical plant. Constant improvement is a theme on campus.

Jacobson Ice Arena $6,500,000

casey kesselring head men’s varsity hockey coach

“A new rink would be a game-changer.

It would attract top student-athletes and help the program regain its place as a prep power. An indoor facility would allow the players on campus to skate and work on skill development in the offseason and put us on an even playing field with other programs.”

With a lead gift of $2,000,000 from GO BEYOND campaign chairman Dean Jacobson ’68, the design and development of a new ice hockey arena is underway. Likewise, New Hampton School hockey is on the move. Women’s Ice Hockey coach Craig Churchill has developed one of the most dynamic teams in New England in the last three years. Meanwhile, the men’s team is following suit. New Men’s Hockey coach Casey Kesselring is poised to bring the success he has enjoyed as a player, coach, and skill development guru to New Hampton.

NHS has a long tradition of ice

hockey excellence. To build on the success of this program, the school will build a state-of-the-art facility.

The new ice hockey arena will provide a location for team-building and instruction that will allow New Hampton School athletes to grow as players and teammates. A modern rink will allow greater flexibility for ice-making, and will also provide the necessary space for our student-athletes. Contact Director of Advancement Sandy Colhoun with questions at 603-677-3413 or scolhoun@newhampton.org for more information.

“The opportunity to have a designated locker room with a spacious and comfortable area will be transformational.

It will allow us to continue to build on the strong culture of ‘team-first’ play that we treasure. The new arena will instill a sense of pride in Husky Nation that will inevitiably show up on the ice in each and every practice and game.”

ABBY RUTT, CLASS OF 2013

College: Wesleyan University Hometown: Scarborough, Maine

Justin Simon, third-year men’s lacrosse coach, as the USA Lacrosse Northern New England Coach of the Year after leading the Huskies to a 10-4 record and the program’s first win over Holderness in the last two decades. … New Hampshire Hockey Legends named a number of Husky players to their All-State team. Anthony Maiuri was recognized on the men’s side while Allie Munroe ’15, Abby Rutt ’13, Alisha Gilbert ’14, Mallory Rushton ’15, and Dempsey Arsenault ’15 were named on the women’s side.

Three-sport Legacy Since New Hampton School embraced co-education in 1970, numerous superb female athletes have worn the Husky green, secured New England championships, and prepared for stellar college careers. When the conversation about the greatest female athletes in the history of the School surfaces, though, recent graduate Abby Rutt ’13 will be on the shortest of lists.

A field hockey, ice hockey, and softball player from Scarborough, Maine, Rutt will not only be remembered for her toughness, skill-level, and passion for competition, but also for her leadership during a renaissance for women’s athletics at the School.

Rutt arrived on campus in the Fall of 2011, and was nothing short of spectacular as she juggled three sports and the academic commitments of an International Baccalaureate Full Diploma Candidate. A captain in all three sports, Rutt was the recipient of the Joe Plaia Athlete of the Year Award at graduation.

As a defenseman in ice hockey, she notched 18 goals and 25 assists for 43 points in 62 games, contributing close to 40 percent of the team’s offense. In softball, she led the Huskies to a 11-1 record and a Lakes Region title. She hit an amazing .844 on the season with 30 runs scored, 44 RBIs, 13 doubles, and a school-record 10 home runs while not striking out once all year.

“She was a major factor in our team’s transition from Division II to Division I in the NEPSAC,” says New Hampton Women’s Ice Hockey Coach Craig Churchill, who recruited Rutt in what came down to a decision between New Hampton and Phillips Exeter.

“She allowed us to be competitive right from the beginning. She is a special talent who showed a lot of development during her time here. She had a lot of interest from Division I and III schools, but in the end education was paramount for Abby and that is why she made the decision to attend Wesleyan.”

WON

Four spring athletic teams secured Lakes Region League titles. The baseball team knocked off Holderness to capture the first-ever league playoff championship. The softball team dominated its competition en route to a Lakes Region title. The women’s lacrosse team shared the league title with Holderness, and the women’s tennis team enjoyed one of its most successful seasons in recent memory.

selected

Sidney Swormstedt ’15 (Laconia, New Hampshire) was named a US Lacrosse All-American this summer after a standout sophomore season that included 64 goals and 24 assists for the Huskies, who finished the season 10-6 and with a share of the Lakes Region championship. Swormstedt already verbally committed to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She was one of four New Hampshire players selected to play in the 2013 Champion All-American Showcase.

GARY MARGOLIS ’63

Award-winning poet Gary Margolis ’63 recently published Raking the Winter Leaves: New and Selected Poems, 240 pages from Bauhan Publishing which includes a selection of poems from his new collection, The Other Flag. Read his tribute poem to the late T. Holmes Moore ’38 on page 49. Executive Director Emeritus of College Mental Health Services at Middlebury College where he was also a part time Associate Professor of English and American Literatures, Margolis is a recipient of Vermont Arts Council and Millay Colony Awards, and a Robert Frost Fellow at the Bread Loaf Writers’ Conference. His poems and essays have appeared in Poetry, American Scholar, Poetry Northwest, and the Journal of the American College Health Association. He

has taught at Bread Loaf, University of Tennessee and University of Vermont Writers’ Conferences. Dr. Margolis was awarded the Sam Dietzel Award for mental health practice in Vermont by the clinical psychology department of Saint Michaels College and the Covey Community Award by the Counseling Service of Addison County. Says English poet Josephine Dickenson: “Reading a Gary Margolis poem is like being taken on a walk in a landscape, sometimes rural, sometimes urban, sometimes public, sometimes intimate, and led on a gently winding path until suddenly, one cannot quite see how it happened, one is looking out upon a huge vista from a great height, and hears the ringing of bells, joyous, majestic, ceremonial.”

JACQUELINE VIENNEAU ’09 OLIVIER HANLAN ’12

Jacqueline Vienneau finished a historic career at Suffolk University, leading her team to a 23-7 record in her senior season. The Salem, New Hampshire native wrapped up her four-year career with 1,273 points scored, while holding the program record with 455 assists. She became the first player in Suffolk women’s basketball history to reach the career milestones of 1,000 points, 500 rebounds, and 300 assists.

Olivier Hanlan ’12 earned ACC Rookie of the Year honors after a standout freshman year at Boston College. He received 10 of 11 possible votes among the conference’s head coaches. A two-year student at New Hampton hailing from Quebec, Canada, Hanlan also earned Freshman of the Year honors from the Atlantic Coast Sports Media Association (ACSMA), and was the only unanimous choice for the ACC All-Freshman Teams voted on by both ACSMA and the coaches. Hanlan averaged 14.6 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 2.3 assists during his first year at the Heights, leading all ACC freshmen with 26 double-digit scoring games. Hanlan received the award before the ACC Tournament in which he dropped 41 points in BC’s win over Georgia Tech.

MEGAN COLLINS ’98 College: UNC Chapel Hill Title: Event and Game Presentation Manager for Baltimore Ravens Years with Organization: 11

How did your job change with the victory over the 49ers?

We hosted the NFL Kickoff week (five thousand people, a sponsor village, and huge concert) the week before our first game. And I got to help with aspects of those events. It also pushed some of the normal offseason around.

Everyone was behind as we went so far into playoffs. We would all do it again but that was not something we could plan for. We have a wonderful fan base so everyone was really excited!

What’s the best part of your job?

It is never the same day twice, and I work with great people.

 hall of fame

What people do not know about the NFL that they should know?

We work in the offseason.

It is almost more busy. It is

year-round. I have a least one large event every month in the offseason.

Advice for NHS grads who want to get into pro/college sports?

Network and internships. I did not know about a lot of the of the opportunities in sports front offices until I was in college, but while at NHS I would talk with (Adam) Tyson about the training room and Cindy Buck about alumni relations and really started to learn about some sports aspects off the field. Sports have always been part of my life, and I knew they would be in college. I worked in athletic communications and was a student manager for the UNC women’s lacrosse team. The team atmosphere is important to me. A lot of what happens on the field can be translated into an office setting. Ask people about how they got started in their field. There are so many opportunities out there, but they are competitive and non-traditional hours. NHS offers so much for its students and they graduate with a lot of skills that will allow them to succeed not just in college but in life post-college. The broad spectrum and multicultural aspects of NHS are intangibles for post-graduation.

NEW HAMPTON SCHOOL 2012 ATHLETIC HALL OF FAME INDUCTEES Three individuals and one transcendent team were inducted into the New Hampton School Athletic Hall of Fame on November 10, 2012. Inductees included former faculty member and coach Joe Gauld, male athlete Ron Norwood ’72, female athlete Euginnia Manseau ’01, and the 1995-96 Women’s Ice Hockey Team.

JOE GAULD

Members of the 1995-96 team from left to right: Assistant Coach Bob Ewell, Jamie Lalos ‘97, Megan Collins ‘98, Mandy Cronin ‘98 and Mary Marren ‘99 A dynamic mix of talented athletes and enthusiastic newcomers, coached by Christy Everett and Robert “Bob” Ewell, the team won its second straight New England Championship.

This group of young women set a standard for athletic and leadership success for female athletes that endures today.

A former Providence and DePaul standout, Norwood (pictured on the left with Barry Smiley ’72) is regarded as one of the most talented players to wear Husky green in a tradition-rich basketball program. He led his team to the Class B Championship in 1971 as a junior, and took a less talented squad to the quarterfinals during his senior year, averaging 38.7 points per game.

Also a soccer and softball player, Manseau (pictured with current faculty Darren Redman) was one of the most accomplished female alpine skiers in school history. She played soccer and skied at Colby-Sawyer College, where she was awarded the Athlete of the Year, MVP three times for the ski team and was a five-time All American.

A master tactician, motivator, and visionary, Gauld (pictured with his family) spent more than a decade at NHS molding young men in various capacities as a football, basketball, and baseball coach, between 1951 and 1962. During a winning streak from 1958 to 1960, his football teams lost one game.

What is your favorite story you have ever covered?

I don’t know if I have a favorite story. My goal with stories is to make sure the person, team, or coach I do a story on is happy with the outcome. In terms of the best trip I have ever taken, currently it is covering the NAIA National Basketball Tournament in Kansas City. I have been there two years in a row now, and I love the city.

What should people know about the TV business?

It’s not as easy as I think most people would think it is. You work long hours, but if it’s what you love, then it’s nothing! I love my job. I couldn’t see myself doing anything else. You need patience with the job as well. Patience may be the most important quality you can have.

Career Goals?

My goal would be to either work at ESPN (which is

where I began my TV career) or the MLB Network.

Advice for NHS grads trying to make career decisions?

Regardless of what you want to do, the best thing you can do for yourself is job shadow. Never just decide to do something. Check it out, do your research. So many times I see people walk through the door who have no clue what we do for a living and think it is something it isn’t. The best way to figure it out is to job shadow and then find a mentor in the field of your choosing.

How did NHS shape you?

NHS made me the person I am today. It is a big step being away from home, family, and friends. But you soon realize that NHS becomes your home, where you find your family and your friends. Without NHS, I don’t know if I would be where I am today. I have such fond memories of the place, and it has always been a place, which when I go back to visit, always puts things back in perspective and gives be another view on how lucky I am to be able to be where I am.

What part of the business do you like best?

Seeing the completion of the process, beginning with a simple sketch and then seeing it built.

What’s the biggest challenge in running a small business?

Wearing all the different hats when ideally I could just design. I have to manage, do taxes, and talk to lawyers.

What was it like working at NHS recently and what was your vision for project?

I wanted the landscape around campus to match what the buildings are starting to do.

In terms of the landscape, the School has never had anything identifiable. It’s been different. It’s been neat to see the changes.

It’s a different community than when I was here, and it’s changing for the better.

What skill set do you need in your profession?

It’s art and science together. There are physical things like drainage and storm water management—everything Mother Nature throws at us. Then there are the plants, where they live and how they live.

The artistic side is materials and how they compliment each other and function and how the site works.

NICK CHECOVICH ‘09 Stage Name: Nick Checo Graduation Year: 2009 EP: The New Age One the Web: www.facebook.com/NickChecoMusic www.twitter.com/nickcheco www.soundcloud.com/nickcheco

Nick Checovich ’09 graduated from Fordham University in the spring of 2013, and quickly launched a professional music career. Checovich recently released an EP (available on iTunes) and has been playing live shows in recent months.

When did you get really serious about music?

I really started taking music a little more serious just this past summer. I recorded this five-track mixtape during my spring break with a friend from home who produces. It was a style I had never really created before, and I kind of just threw it on the Internet and to friends at college.

I was fortunate enough for some of the songs to get picked up by a few prominent music blogs, which is what really generated outside interest of my music. I wasn’t really expecting it, but one thing led to another and the next thing I know I am an opening act at a Live Nation venue in front of a 400-person crowd, something I had never done before.

How would you describe your style of music?

I primarily grew up playing acoustic stuff, but I love hip-hop and reggae. So on the mixtape we fused all these different sounds together that ended up sounding pretty cool. Ultimately, I still haven’t really defined my sound yet; there is a lot more experimenting to do but for now I would call it a mix between hip-hop/reggae/indie. It’s funny because I am used to always playing guitar on stage, but for this music I have to act more as an MC, sort of like a rapper, because of the nature of the music, which is completely out of my element, but I am getting more comfortable with it and it is actually a lot of fun.

What has been your favorite live show?

I think this most recent show I played in California at Santa Clara University, just because I’ve only been doing this music thing for a few months and this show was the most official I guess you would say. They flew me out, accommodated me very well, and it was about a thousand-person crowd of college kids who were very energetic and into it.

It kind of opened my eyes to this really cool side of music that makes it a lot more fun.

Do you still play music with NHS folks?

I do with one of my really good friends Zak Baskin ’09, who lived in the same dorm as me in my time at New Hampton. He is actually a huge reason why I am playing music at this small level right now. He and I spent a lot of time playing together while in the dorm, and we would always hang out in the music room in the springtime. He went to Berklee College of Music, so I have learned a lot from him. He was part of my first ever actual band, and we played a lot of reggae/ rock stuff. He is in another band though, and they are doing really well in the Boston area so it was tough to coordinate between me, him and our drummer to put shows together and to practice. But I see him a lot and we will always just talk music for an hour or play some music together. I’ve been lucky to have someone so musically inclined to help guide me, because I wouldn’t have really known how to approach a music career to start out.

One of your lyrics is familiar: “Don’t give up what you want most, for what you want right now.”

That is a Mr. Tilton quote. That was one of those quotes that I heard while at New Hampton, and it always just kind of resonated with me. So many times in the past I have come across people who are successful in their field of work, and their advice always relates to that quote. It’s a simple quote, but also very true. It was kind of in my head when I had the opportunity to record this mixtape. It was my senior year this past year and I had never gone on spring break, and I also had a week to record music when my buddy was free to do it. So, in my mind I was like, “Yeah spring break would be cool, but making music is cooler to me,” not really knowing that it would lead to me playing some cool shows over the summer.

So looking back on it, if I had gone on spring break like everyone else, I probably wouldn’t be playing any shows right now. Granted, I had a run of some good luck with the shows I have been booking, but it’s still cool to look at how it played out and kind of relate it to that quote.

ONE-HUNDRED NINETY-SECOND COMMENCEMENT THE 99 GRADUATES FROM 11 DIFFERENT COUNTRIES AND 15 DIFFERENT STATES FINISHED THEIR NEW HAMPTON CAREERS WITH REFLECTION, CELEBRATION, AND SOME INSPIRATIONAL REMARKS.

FOR THE SECOND STRAIGHT YEAR, commencement exercises were held inside because of poor weather, but it could not deter the celebration of New Hampton’s 192nd graduating class.

Commencement speaker Alan Khazei brought a special connection to his Commencement Address. The Co-founder of City Year and the Founder of Be the Change, Khazei spoke to a graduating class that included his niece Hayden Huff, a native of Winchester, Massachusetts, who will attend the University of Missouri.

Ben Cecil Speaker Briana Cardwell ’13 of Everett, Massachusetts, reminded her classmates how the last four years profoundly affected her.

She addressed the change she underwent as a student of color arriving on a bucolic campus in Central New Hampshire, and the people who helped her along the way.

“We have teachers here who hold you and hug you like parents when you cry,” Cardwell said.

Valedictorian Jason Alexander offered an intellectually provoking speech, urging his classmates to “customize and continue to conquer the challenge.”

Alexander—a four-year student from Rumney, New Hampshire who will attend Colgate—was also awarded The Meservey Medal, the School’s most prestigious award, which recognizes outstanding contributions to the academic, co-curricular, and community life of the School.

Alexander was one of nine students in the class who comprise the School’s second class of International Baccalaureate Diploma Program candidates. 

The ARSENAULTS Years at NHS: 17

Jamie, Athletic Director Lara, Registrar Ryder ’13 Dempsey ’15

A sport for each season holds as much relevance these days as a Blockbuster Video Store. Specialization is the path for the majority of young athletes in the United States. With college scholarships and access to elite universities and colleges as the end game for so many parents and high school athletes, teenagers have dropped second and third sports to focus on one sport year-round.

But there is a family on the New Hampton School campus that is preserving the tradition of three-season athletics and carrying the banner for the multisport athlete. The Arsenaults—Jamie and Lara, and their children Ryder ’13 and Dempsey ’15—arrived on the New Hampton School campus in 1997. For them, athletic specialization is synonymous with boredom.

Jamie and Lara were each three-sport standouts in college, combining for 22 varsity letters, and each of their children has embraced three sports at New Hampton.

“I always encouraged them to play all three,” says Jamie, who teaches math and serves as the Director of Athletics. “Each season I enjoyed that sport I was playing, and I couldn’t get to the point that I could play baseball 365 days a year. When it was football season, it was on TV and it was football season. And the same for basketball season. Each season drew me in, and my kids were very similar.”

Perhaps the Arsenault athletic prowess is equal parts genes, fate, and environment. Jamie—NHS’s former Men’s Varsity A Basketball Coach—was a three-sport standout at Colby College (football, basketball, baseball) and Lara—the School’s registrar and a house parent—starred in soccer, basketball, and track at Brandeis University, qualifying for the NCAA Championships in the triple jump. They met because of a game. It was the Boston Celtics Rookie Camp in 1989 when Jamie was working the Red Auerbach Basketball Camp at Brandeis and Lara was fundraising for her team’s senior trip to Greece.

Jamie knew her basketball coach. After a date in Prescott Park in Portsmouth, the spark was lit. Soon enough they were married, and it wasn’t long before they were living in Lindsay House after a stop at Bridgton Academy in Maine.

Few families have been more entrenched in the culture of New Hampton School. Along with the McMahon, Brewster, Redman, and Fay families, Jamie and Lara have raised their children over the last two decades on a bucolic campus with an army of balls, bats, sticks, skates, and sneakers as the vehicles to enliven mosquito-laden summer nights and get through cold winter days. It’s summer camp every day for kids. "

“They’ve had every necessary facility available to them,” says Jamie, reflecting on his kids growing up on campus. “They could skate in the rink, shoot balls on the turf, play soccer. They got off the bus at 2:30 and played for 3 to 4 hours, just unsupervised games.”

It has paid off. Ryder and Dempsey are more than serviceable athletes. Ryder is now a freshman at Colby College, poised to make the same multi-sport impact his father did nearly two decades ago (Jamie’s number is retired in baseball). Still, his athletic career at New Hampton was as much a hobble as it was a sprint. He broke his leg in the Powder Keg football game in his sophomore year and missed the entire ice hockey season. In his junior campaign, an injury derailed another two seasons. He tore his ACL in the NEPSAC football bowl game and spent the rest of the year watching hockey and baseball, but acted in the winter play to keep the adrenaline flowing. The starting quarterback his senior season, Ryder broke his collarbone in the second game of the season, but rebounded to play junior varsity hockey and lead the Huskies baseball squad to a Lakes Region playoff title. After graduating second in his class and as the student body president, he followed his father’s path to Colby where he starts at wide receiver in football and will help the Mules’ baseball team in the outfield, on the mound, and behind the plate. Yes, the versatility extends to the diamond.

Dempsey Arsenault ’15

“WHETHER WE ARE PLAYING BOARD GAMES, WHIFFLE BALL, OR RUNNING AN OBSTACLE COURSE, WE HAVE ALWAYS ENCOURAGED OUR KIDS TO HAVE FUN WHILE DOING THEIR BEST.”

— Lara Arsenault Dempsey already cemented her college destination last January in her sophomore year before she even had her driver’s license. A field hockey, ice hockey, and lacrosse standout at New Hampton, she will play lacrosse at Boston College—an elite D-I program that won a competitive recruiting tussle. Dempsey runs like a deer, charges back on defense in all three sports with a constant motor, and possesses the distaste for losing that her mother shows in board games and pick-up basketball games.

Field hockey coach Bekka Joslin has no doubt that Dempsey could play Division I field hockey. Women’s ice hockey coach Craig Churchill has coached her for two seasons in a sport she considers her third-best. Nevertheless, the fourth-year coach believes she can leave a special legacy at New Hampton.

“I think she brings a work ethic and level of athleticism that is second to none,” Churchill says. “Her ability to control the play with sheer determination is unparalleled.”

On a recent fall afternoon, long after her field hockey practice ended, Dempsey was in the lower gymnasium, playing the solitary game of wall-ball with a lacrosse stick and ball. Jamie and Lara believe this type of dedication to getting better is a product of growing up around elite, dedicated athletes. Dempsey and Ryder had countless surrogate big sisters and brothers who were great athletes when they were faculty brats in Lindsay House, and their father coached a handful of future NBA players in basketball.

The competitiveness, coupled with a passion for enjoying the games, is a part of the fabric of the family.

“Whether we are playing board games, whiffle ball, or running an obstacle course, we have always encouraged our kids to have fun while doing their best,” says Lara. “Ryder and Dempsey have grown up surrounded by very talented and driven student-athletes 34 NEW HAMPTON SCHOOL FALL 2013

Ryder Arsenault ’13

who value competition and sports, so it has been ingrained in their upbringing to work hard and compete at whatever they do.”

As Jamie and Lara have helped shape the tight-knit community at New Hampton with the attention they paid to so many students over the years, their children have benefited. They’ve made every attempt to open doors for college athletic opportunities and put countless miles on their cars driving to club team tournaments, but dropping a sport and missing the opportunity to be a part of another team was not an option.

Former faculty member Dave Doyle, now the Director of Athletics at Hamden Hall Country Day School in Connecticut, saw it firsthand during his time at NHS. “I loved how they never pushed them into certain sports, or pressured them into the world of specialization,” Doyle says.

“They encouraged them both to play multiple sports, knowing that would make them more well-rounded athletes.”

So little was the push that two parents who were basketball players in college ended up with two ice hockey players. The cold mornings in ice rinks throughout New England and the long car rides have never been a burden, though. As Jamie is so often heard saying when considering his life at New Hampton and his years as sports parent, “We get to do this!” 

Legendary Life T. Holmes “Bud” Moore ’38

1920-2013

By Will McCulloch When T. Holmes “Bud” Moore ’38 enrolled at New Hampton School in 1936, he was in need of a transformative educational experience and a connection to a community. He benefited on both accounts and returned the favor to the School with a lifetime of service. Along the way, he connected with students, created a distinctive boarding school environment, and touched the lives of countless graduates with inspiration and incessant guidance. We remember a legend.

Mr. Moore, who served New Hampton School in various capacities for over 70 years, including 33 years as Headmaster and President, passed away peacefully on August 18. He was 93 years old.

A 1938 graduate of New Hampton, Moore worked at the School from 1946 to 1959 as a faculty member and his many responsibilities ranged from English teacher and department head to Director of Admission and Executive Headmaster. In 1959, he became Headmaster of the School and led New Hampton until his retirement in 1992 (from 1972-1990 his title was the President of the School). Moore was a 1946 graduate of Middlebury College and Veteran of World War II in which he served four years in the Navy. He was also a member of the Board of Trustees as Headmaster Emeritus since 2006.

“We have been blessed as a school and as individuals to have T. Holmes Moore in our lives. He devoted his life to New Hampton

School,” said Andrew Menke, current Head of School. “The School would not be where it is today but for his steadfast commitment to the principles that we hold dear today: hard work, community, personal growth and personal responsibility. His legacy is one of positive, enthusiastic and dynamic leadership that impacted generations of graduates who have gone on to impact their communities in business, education, and public service.”

Moore will be remembered as a loving husband to Norma Jean “Jinga” Moore, a former faculty member, who also served the School in many capacities, and a remarkable father to five children: Thomas Moore ’63, Andrew Moore ’65, Robinson Moore ’73, Elibet Moore Chase ’75, and Jamie Moore Sheff.

In his role as Headmaster and President, Moore left an indelible mark on NHS. The School built five new dormitories, the McEvoy Theater, a Lower Gymnasium, a Student Center, and Memorial

and during the years when I was on the faculty. I believe that the basis of personal success is self-confidence, which comes from knowledge of self: strengths, weaknesses and talents. I wanted New Hampton to be a School that continued helping its students discover their strengths, weaknesses, and talents and devise programs which remedy weaknesses, discover strengths, and develop talents.

“I looked around and realized that many schools have a vision of the ideal graduate, develop a program to realize that vision, accept an inevitable diversity of students and gradually eliminate that diversity so that all graduates are look-alikes. New Hampton starts with this same diversity, but it helps individuals understand how they are different, and develops programs to accentuate these differences so that when they graduate they are even more different.”

Moore always believed in the magic of boarding school and the way in which a place like New Hampton—with caring, attentive faculty —could influence and transform the 44 NEW HAMPTON SCHOOL FALL 2013

During his time at the School, including summers working at the Resort on campus, Moore met his future wife Jinga, the daughter of the Headmaster who lived on campus with her parents and brothers. Though he didn’t believe he would have many college options, Moore once again looked to Headmaster Smith for guidance. At the arrangement of Smith, he matriculated to Middlebury College. Moore continued his studies and paid his way through college with his trumpet, playing in more bands and working the summer music circuit.

After three years at Middlebury, the military came calling. Moore enlisted in the fall of 1941 and quickly found himself the Junior Ensign on a ship of 2,109 men and the Junior Officer in the V (Aviation) Division.

BUD Foliage Day For T. Holmes “Bud” Moore

By Gary Margolis ’63

what would bud do?

By Jennifer Shackett Berry ’83 Director of College Counseling Bud Moore taught me many lessons. He taught me to be a steward of others, my school, and my community. When my parents both passed away, he wrote me a note about preserving their legacy.

My devotion to my family, my work, and my community extends from this prompting. In my work at New Hampton School, I often think, “What would Bud do?” prior to acting. I joined the Board of Trustees of the Newfound Lake Region Association to help maintain a legacy in the purity of the lake that was such a part of my childhood, and also because Bud and Jinga modeled serving community-based non-profits to complement their family and professional lives.

Bud also taught me the value of unwavering loyalty and positivity in the face of adversity whether it related to his school, family, friends, or his final medical issues. At the start of my career, New Hampton School faced financial struggles. Bud was able to make difficult decisions that were institutionally driven. I surmise these were incredibly challenging times for him, but he remained steadfast in his loyalty to the institution. When my husband or I faced adverse situations, it was Bud who advised us and helped us to see the silver lining and remain focused on the future. During a visit with Bud in his final months, when asked how he was doing, he replied, “top drawer”.

My husband Tom says, “Bud saw the light in people and made it flourish.” So true; he made us believe we were all special and important; he was a believer in good causes, whether institutions or people. We push forward, doing our best for our family, friends, students, and the School—always guided by “What would Bud do?”

One day a year we sat waiting to hear this was the day we didn’t have to go to school.

The buses idled among the leaves we couldn’t see.

We fidgeted among ourselves guessing if this was the day.

If the maples were peaking.

If classes were canceled.

If Mr. Moore would announce what we’d come to believe that this was the day.

His hair was always silver grey. He could say anything we came to believe to keep us in our seats. He knew each of our turning names. Save the day he knew it was his secret to let us out. To climb a hill.

To lose ourselves in the leaves.

So we could return to school for the rest of the year. So we could say we always knew which day it was he would tell us you can learn everything you need to know, one leaf at a time.

When you know each boy’s name.

Even today, when he isn’t here.

When he’s saying you can say, (you can use any word) like each boy’s name from whence we came.

T. Holmes Bud Moore ’38 graduated from New Hampton School living selling ladies’ hosiery on the side, running a babysitting in 1938, but it was also a significant year for a lot of events. It was service and a dating service—whatever that was in 1938.

In the summer of 1940, he was still chasing Norma Jean, the same year Benny Goodman and his band became the first jazz musicians to play Carnegie Hall. It was also the year the first but playing five nights a week with Harry Meehan and his New ski tow began operation in Vermont. And Bud Moore graduated Yorkers at the Jungle Ballroom on Newfound Lake. They called it the Jungle Ballroom because they had monkeys in artificial trees from New Hampton with his horn in hand.

But it wasn’t before Bud, who had been working his subtle way swinging around down in the basement and featuring Bill Bopre, into Headmaster Fred Smith’s notice, squired Norma Jean Smith, the Liberace of the steam calliope on band breaks.

The war catches up, and Bud enlists after three years at Fred’s daughter, with limited success for two years (Bud was 17, Jinga was 13 when he took her to her junior prom at Bristol High Middlebury in the Naval Aviator Program and ends up flying a scout School).

Together they became the personality of the New Hampton School—the heart and soul of the New Hampton School. If a society mirrors its leadership, the reflection of the New Hampton School for the Bud and Jinga years is this: lovable, laughable, devoted educators—shaping lives—the horn player and the beautiful Spanish-speaking red-headed mom. Thanks Bob Kennedy ’50 and Jing and Bud for this “string of pearls.”

Heart and Soul

My thoughts and prayers go out to Jinga and the Moore family during this difficult time. I hope you feel the love that the entire NHS community and the town of New Hampton had for Bud. His loss is painful, but his legacy is inspiring to all who were fortunate to cross paths with this amazing human being. From the first time I got to converse with Mr. Moore at dinner at the house on Pinnacle Hill in the fall of 1979 with some of my classmates from Lewis, to chatting with him at the Hall of Fame Dinner for the 1980 hockey team in the fall of 2008, he was always more interested in what I was doing than talking about himself. He had an uncanny ability to put you at ease, build your confidence, get you to talk, and then remember it! During our last conversation at that dinner, I asked him why he hadn’t become Governor of New Hampshire yet and with his beautiful grin he replied, “because I can’t talk out of both sides of my mouth!” What a remarkable response from a tremendous leader, teacher, and mentor. Godspeed Bud, you will be missed, but always remembered.”

Meservey Hall: a history

BY JASON ALEXANDER ’13

Standing for 155 years, Meservey Hall remains the historic center of scholastic life at New Hampton School. It has endured numerous phases of structure and function. The revered building has weathered both renovation and destruction, but Meservey’s core has maintained a significant presence in community life. Over the decades, continual attention has been paid towards keeping Meservey fully updated and surpassing the needs of the School. As we reflect on its rich history and promising future, the brick front of Meservey stands as a poignant metaphor for New Hampton School and its evolution.

2 The fire of 1935

1 Chapel Hall Chapel Hall, the original building, was constructed in 1858. A new three-story brick front formed the main part of Chapel Hall, and the existing wooden village church was annexed to become the back wing of the building. Chapel Hall was the third building constructed on the campus of New Hampton Literary and Biblical Institution (NHLBI), after Hamptonia Hall and Randall Hall. Students prayed daily in the chapel, and since the male and female students were not allowed to interact, they kept to separate sides of Chapel Hall. The space was usually busy, holding laboratories, libraries, and classrooms. The 16 rooms were designed with high-quality standards, agreed upon to be convenient and pleasant to use, and unsurpassed in the region. At the time, NHLBI was a six-hour ride from Boston and well-connected with New England universities.

Approximately 100 students graduated each year.

Generous patrons and the School invested in upgrades over the next few decades, adding to the teaching capabilities of Chapel Hall. Scientific equipment, collections of geological and biological specimens, and an attractive library were added. A new museum held stuffed birds, minerals, biological material, shells, fossils, and Native American artifacts. By 1903, new steam heating and electricity made the building more comfortable. However, from 1904 to 1910, Chapel Hall underwent massive renovation. The 13 rooms focused on science labs with running water for extensive experimental work, offices, and modernized classrooms. In autumn of 1910, the state-of-the-art building was officially renamed to be the Meservey Building, commonly called Meservey Hall. This was in honor of recently deceased Principal Atwood Bond Meservey.

The NHLBI was renamed New Hampton School in 1925. The extensive scientific curriculum in Meservey’s classrooms covered Zoology, Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Earth Sciences, and Anatomy.

Further renovation in 1930 expanded Meservey’s uses to the athletic realm. It sported a gymnasium with lockers and showers, fulfilling a 20-year-old need for a new gym. In addition to games, the students convened in the gym for school meetings, theatrical and musical performances, social dances, and commencement exercises.

Meservey Hall caught fire the night of May 1, 1935.

Faulty wiring sparked a dangerous blaze, fanned by the wind, that consumed the wooden back section. The New Hampton, Bristol, and Ashland fire crews siphoned plentiful water from the pond-fueled hockey rink. They were able to protect the rest of Academic Row from being harmed, but only the brick front of Meservey was saved.

Meservey lost its Belfry—its bell became a “melted mass in the ruins”—along with the labs, most scientific equipment, and facilities. The great loss of most of the building resonated in New England; the Boston Herald even picked up the story. Sympathetic companies immediately met to amass the funds to rebuild. Alumni living as far away as a missionary serving in India and a 91-yearold Californian sent gifts to rebuild. Meservey Hall was repaired by the end of 1935.

REV. A.B. Meservey

Reverend Atwood Bond Meservey, born in 1831, hailed from Maine.

Meservey was ordained after attending New Hampton, Bates College, Brown University, Bowdoin Medical School, and Andover Theological Seminary.

In 1862, he began teaching math and science at New Hampton, until he became the School’s Principal in 1868. Meservey worked tirelessly and devotedly for 30 years in this position.

An intensive scholar, he led a trend of teaching bookkeeping and economic accounting, publishing textbooks on the worldly subject, and stimulating a Commercial College department. He impressed and inspired, keeping an “affable disposition” with “phenomenal tact.” Meservey’s grand lectures and clear vision inspired great respect in his personality and abilities. He died from kidney disease in 1901, three years after finishing his career as Principal. Respected and treasured for his memory, Meservey’s work had a lasting effect on the School’s health, growth, and trajectory into the 20th century.

Rebuilding

The transformed Meservey Hall lived up to its old claim to be “the center of student life,” an academic, athletic, and social hub. The laboratories were restocked with experimental equipment and outfitted to teach. An indoor running track was installed in the back section of Meservey, along with jumping pits, boxing and wrestling rings, with practice space for basketball, tennis, badminton, and baseball. In 1942, the School formed an accelerated Wartime Program to train willing students, using Meservey’s facilities to improve their fitness and readiness for the world. A large trophy and lounge room housed clubs and provided a popular space for students to relax. In 1947, the School invested in a new assembly hall with a modern motion picture theater. This auditorium replaced Meservey’s old chapel. New technology helped teach through educational films, but the more exciting use for the “thoroughly-modern” projectors was to show students new amusing motion pictures every Saturday night.

After the 1950s, as the School’s campus grew and newer buildings sprung up, the uses of Meservey slowly dwindled to only classrooms and offices. The Frederick Smith Gym, complete in 1961, made Meservey’s gym into a temporary secondary practice space. There were plans to convert it into a dining hall, but Frederick Smith Hall was expanded for this purpose while McEvoy Theater provided a better auditorium. In the past decade, the science labs moved to the Pilalas Center, and the History Department remained in Meservey Hall’s aging classrooms.

Future Plans Academic Row currently includes a construction site. Cranes, bulldozers, and crews are chipping away at the most comprehensive restoration of this historic building yet. Scheduled to be completed by Summer 2014, the Meservey Restoration will provide a new home for the History Department and the Academic Support Program. Historically, Meservey Hall has been home to the math and science departments. With the dedication of the Pilalas Center in 2009, these two disciplines moved next door on Academic Row, creating an opportunity to restore Meservey Hall into a home for two critical departments. The front portion of Meservey will be restored in keeping with its original, historic style. The front doors will be opened once again as the main entrance and create a welcoming entry. The back wing of the building (pictured above), a major campus transformation, will allow a connection to the inner campus and provide supporting exterior spaces and walks.

CLIMB

New Hampton, Kenya, Mount Everest: MIKE CHAMBERS '05 HAS TACKLED IT ALL

By Will McCulloch

T

hree weeks after his attempt to summit Mount Everest failed, Mike Chambers ’05 was thinking about business school applications. Babson and MIT were on the list, and he was even considering that other university in Cambridge. Heck, he spent two months climbing the tallest peak in the world. What could business school at Harvard dish out that he couldn’t handle?

Consideration of an intellectual challenge was perhaps a distraction from the notso-cold-anymore truth Chambers was facing each day since arriving back in the United States—he was no longer on the mountain.

“It has been a difficult transition coming back, to say the least,” Chambers said this summer from his home in Needham, Massachusetts, where he lives with his fiancé Leila de Bruyne.

He hesitated calling his return symptoms post-traumatic stress, but adrenaline withdrawal could suffice. For two years he planned the expedition of a lifetime while juggling his full-time gig with Flying Kites, the non-profit founded by his fiancé. And from March 20 to May 16, 2013 he spent every day thinking of that piece of world 29,029 feet above sea level. The sense of accomplishment melded with the what-could-have-been, a lingering storyline as he shares his tale.

Nevertheless, Mike Chambers’ Everest story remains only a piece of a personal transformation that is both startling and inspiring. Though a climber sees only the black and white of his expedition, a “failed” summit of Everest is not exactly a fair description. To consider the kid who showed up to New Hampton School in the fall of 2002, wayward and disjointed, would tackle the world’s tallest peak 11 years later would be a “failure” to be realistic by any measure—ask his former teachers. His two months on Everest are much like the last decade of Mike Chambers’ life, a steady climb in which the kid in boots never reaches the top. And that’s okay.

May 16, 2013 Chambers sat in a tent at Camp 4, the last stop before a push for the summit of Everest. He looked across at his tent mate Dan. It felt like that lucid moment of purpose before a big game, the kind of focus he experienced nearly a decade before in 2004 as kickoff approached of the New England Prep School football title game.

There was no possibility for sleep. The duo stared at each other until the time was right. Equipment was checked, and oxygen tanks and other necessities were double-checked with the precision of a surgeon before entering the operating room.

All the while, Chambers was taking time to reflect.

“It was a pretty special time,” Chambers recalls. “When I talk about it I always smile.”

With a finger on the things he could control, Chambers and his fellow climbers—a group of five that had climbed together around the peak for the previous two months—stepped out into something they could not control—the conditions.

It was 10 pm, and though 24 hours later groups of climbers would ascend through ideal conditions, Chambers did not have that benefit. He had chosen an earlier window for his summit to avoid the crowds and the bottlenecks (In 2012, these crowds produced some fatalities). The tactic for success on Everest is to climb through the evening, when the weather and wind conditions are more favorable, and then have as much sunlight as possible on the descent.

The wind that engulfed Chambers when he inched out of his tent never took a nap. Gusts of 80 miles per hour tried to chop block the summit dreams of the former offensive lineman turned adventurer.

When Chambers and his crew reached the Balcony, a venerable landmark in the ascent to the peak, the Everest climber’s worst adversary began to win. Rime ice was playing defense for the Summit, and Chambers and the rest did not have a sensible play past.

“Rime ice is real nasty stuff that accumulates on your gear. It’s like walking with a snowmaking machine in front of you. It freezes your oxygen valves and the condensation on the masks makes it difficult to breathe,” he explained.

Any hope evaporated when he saw his Sherpa turn around and start praying. Chambers called Basecamp on his satellite phone. The command was to turn around. One of the first to leave Camp 4 that night, Chambers headed down and had the undesirable task of passing along the information to 40-plus other climbers who trailed his group.

“Telling them was probably harder than turning around myself,” he said.

With a limited amount of oxygen and only a little time to be up in the altitude, Chambers was heading home. The disappointment didn’t register, though, because he was so committed to finding his way down the mountain.

“Telling them was probably harder than turning around myself.”

“The summit of Everest in all its glory is beautiful and wonderful, but I have too many things going on at home.”

If reconciliation with one’s dreams were only that easy.

FLYING KITES What happens to a soon-to-be college graduate who travels to Washington D.C. with hopes of changing the world? In the case of Mike Chambers, ambitions toward a career in law and government turned sour.

“I was turned off by the whole environment,” he said of his experience as an intern during his college days. “I always had this urge to give back but I felt so removed from it and got turned off.”

Not long after graduating from St. Lawrence University, Chambers—with a desire to get his hands a little dirty and tackle that detachment— worked for an organization called Surf for the Cause in Nicaragua that combined surfing waves in Central America with building houses for families in need in the community. The organization was featured in a film called the Human Experience, which also told the story of Flying Kites and its founders. One of the founders, Leila de Bruyne, hired Chambers to work for Flying Kites. She also unknowingly hired her future fiancé. They were living in nearby towns on the coast of Rhode Island at the time.

In Flying Kites, Chambers found a passion for an organization that provides high quality residential care to some of Kenya’s most desperate orphaned and abused children.

Located in the foothills of the Aberdares Mountain Range, the School has become a special place for Chambers.

“When I first went out to Flying Kites I fell in love with the place instantly,” said Chambers. “We have a magical place over there. The kids are incredible and very inspirational. They’ve been through incredible hardships. …They embody mental toughness.”

With an eye on generating more funding for the non-profit, Chambers co-founded Flying Kites Adventure, an arm of the organization that utilizes partnerships to lead clients to a number of different adventure opportunities internationally and domestically while raising money for the organization. The idea is that someone can sign up with Flying Kites and climb Kilimanjaro or to Everest Base Camp, among other options.

“It works like a small adventure travel company with a twist,” Chamber said. “Instead of paying for the trips out of pocket, individuals have an opportunity to meet a fundraising target which covers the majority of their expenses with the exclusion of international airfare, visas, etc. We have negotiated deals with local outfitters to keep our costs low which provides us large margins of unrestricted funding to be used where we see fit.”

The work has been rewarding on many levels for Chambers, and the prospect of heading to business school is once again a combination of a determination to push himself to62 NEW HAMPTON SCHOOL FALL 2013

ward something and be prepared to help folks in need in an even more impactful way.

“I’d like to scale the program I’ve developed for Flying Kites and bring in other organizations,” Chambers said. “I have some good ideas but want to be sure I’m ready for all aspects.”

Preparation for Everest, as with a little school in Central New Hampshire, has taught him a few lessons.

THE KID WHO SHOWED UP AT NEW HAMPTON Former NHS faculty member and football coach David Perfield first met Mike Chambers when Mark Tilton demanded that he wrestle on Perfield’s team. Perfield, who is now the Director of Development at the Cardigan Mountain School, recalls a kid who “lacked consistent discipline and structure.”

Chambers wasn’t exactly a put-together student, or even a work-in-progress, when he made the transition from two previous high schools. Work-in-progress was more of a desired outcome. His advisor, longtime faculty member Jennifer Shackett Berry, recalls a student whose “appearance and social and academic habits were somewhat disheveled when he arrived.”

“When I came to New Hampton I was still a lost soul,” Chambers recalled. “I was in awkward teenage years and rebelling against everything. I didn’t know who I was.”

But he had wonderful support from caring, loving par-

ents, and he began to make incremental strides with the help of faculty members. He took some calculated risks and slowly embraced a community that accepted him.

“He started playing football, and I thought he was going to really struggle,” said Perfield, who calls Chambers one of the greatest success stories he has seen in 12 years working in schools. “But he ended up being the most improved player on our championship team.”

And what better setting for an energetic teenager to discover a passion for climbing? The White Mountains became a door to self-discovery. Chambers participated in NHS’s Sophomore Expedition and later was a student leader on the trip.

Climbers spend two months on the mountain before they can even consider the summit. While some groups achieve their goals without the support of any local logistic help or even Sherpas, others—the most criticized—pay loads of money to ensure their entire experience is supported and made as hassle-free as possible. Chambers’ expedition involved moderate logistical support and working with local Sherpas. Everest demands that you climb most of the mountain three times to get acclimated to the altitude. You work with Sherpas. And therein lies the tangled memories Chambers will always carry away from Everest. One month into the expedition, DaRita Sherpa died on the mountain.

“It was amazing on so many different levels. It’s sensory overload the whole time you are there, living with a whole lot of fear on a daily basis and you have to accept it.”

“It opened my eyes,” said Chambers, whose sister Marielle graduated from NHS in 2012. “With the location, it was optimal to take advantage of the trips.”

Before Chambers arrived at St. Lawrence, his promising football career was cut short by a neck injury. He didn’t recede into the periphery of the college landscape. Instead, he developed a passion for challenging himself physically, became of the member of the track team, and continued to feed his growing appetite for mountaineering. Little did he know that a neck injury would lead him to the most feared mountain in the world.

REFLECTION Everest was in sight long before the night of May 16. The planning and preparation stretched back years with eight summits of Mount Kilimanjaro and a true test when he added the 23,000-foot summit of Aconcagua, the highest mountain in the western hemisphere located in Argentina.

There was the technical mountaineering in New England and the trips that built stamina, like the Pemi Loop he undertook a year ago with Perfield on a weekend trip. Then there were the financial challenges. Chambers, who ended up raising over $100,000 for Flying Kites with a trip to base camp—benefited from corporate sponsors like Merrell.

As Chambers reflected on the journey and the mission, his voice resonated with the conflict that comes from not making it to the peak while realizing incredible fundraising goals for Flying Kites in the process, developing wonderful friendships, and experiencing a horrific life-changing tragedy.

“It was amazing on so many different levels. It’s sensory overload the whole time you are there, living with a whole lot of fear on a daily basis and you have to accept it,” he explained. “You are there and you’re going to do it. It’s sad to read the media reports about Everest. Everest is a beautiful place. There is some accurate reporting. There are people up there who have no business being there in terms of physical capabilities and technical skills, but for the most part it’s an incredible mountain. ...It was 90 percent good and exciting and 10 percent terrifying and depressing.”

Chambers says they will never know what happened to him.

The intersection of selfish climbers determined to conquer a life’s climbing dream and Sherpas, people trying to make a living, nearly pushed Chambers home well before his night in Camp 4.

“I felt like a lot of people didn’t care,” Chambers said. “The guys on the team and leadership didn’t really care or they had a better way of dealing with it. Or maybe it wasn’t as a big of a deal to them because he was a Sherpa. It was heavy.

It was pretty scary.”

The sadness and astonishment was in his voice as he relayed dispatches from the expedition via the Internet.

Various social media including Instagram, Twitter, and his blog were all set up to provide his supporters, friends, and family access to the experience. They could share the highs and lows of the journey.

But Chambers persisted, pushed forward by his dream to reach the peak and help the orphans in Kenya that benefited from his fundraising. He pushed through because that’s what he’s been doing since he showed up at New Hampton School.

“I owe everything I’ve done to New Hampton,” Chambers said. “Who knows where I would have ended up if had not gotten on the straight and narrow. I didn’t truly realize until my sophomore year in college how much the School changed me and set me up for success.”

A school and its teachers can only do so much. For his former advisor, there is an overflow of satisfaction when she considers what Chambers has accomplished with his climb toward Everest.

“A lot of people are so self-absorbed when they are trying to summit Everest,” said Jennifer Berry. “But with Mike it’s about him summiting and helping someone else.”

As much as he will tell his story of Mount Everest, the invigoration and the excitement, Mike Chambers’ imprint on that mountain vanished quickly when he returned home. Yet at a school in Kenya, where orphaned kids dream big dreams, his climb, his work, and his passion resonate every day. And that has nothing to do with reaching the summit.  FALL 2013 HAMPTONIA 63

ing s Thousands of New Hampton graduates over the last two centuries have followed their passions and desires for success into an array of vocations—corporate law, investment banking, education, technology, manufacturing, military, sports management, marketing, agriculture, and hospitality to name a few. In recent years, though, few have entered into or found themselves entrenched in a more polarizing, unpredictable, or complex economic workspace than the medical industry. Hamptonia caught up with four graduates who have embraced the challenge, one for which we need sacrificing citizens and one that is not going away. Doctors and nurses with a shared alma mater talk about how their desire to help people guided them through years of education and rewards that are less about money and more about our country’s future.

Still, he’s had to contend with an American medical system that finds anyone over the age of 75 with more doctors than they have shoes in the closet. But Dupee loves a challenge. His passion for helping our oldest citizens is the oxygen that fuels his expansive involvement in the Boston medical community. He is a true trailblazer in the world of geriatric care, and the proof is not only on his resume, but in the way patients and peers value his contributions.

“Geriatrics bloomed at Newton Wellesley Hospital, Tufts Medical Center, and TUSM under his passionate and dynamic leadership. Pre-clinical, clinical, and medical resident positions were made available again under Richard’s aegis,” says Dr. John Harrington, former Chief of Geriatrics Service at Tufts Medical Center, the Doctor who mentored Dupee. “... Under his direction, one of the major medical wards at TMC now is devoted to geriatrics. He is a superb physician.”

Whether it is his booming primary care business at Wellesley Medical Associates (started in 1974) or other responsibilities as an educator or leader, Dupee brings an incredible optimism and energy to it all. The former soccer and basketball player at NHS with a mischievous streak has redirected his zeal.

A 1963 graduate of NHS, Dupee received his undergraduate degree and studied medicine at Tufts. He now works as Chief of the Geriatric Service at Tufts Medical Center and Clinical Professor of Medicine at Tufts University School of Medicine. He is responsible for teaching geriatric medicine at both institutions. He also cameos as an expert witness in court cases and serves as the Governor of the Massachusetts Chapter of the American College of Physicians, the largest organization of internal medicine specialists in the world.

Recently engaged, Dupee has two sons—Matthew, who runs his medical office in Wellesley—and Joshua, a 1998 graduate of New Hampton who is a special education teacher and also raises alpacas with his wife. –W.M. 66 NEW HAMPTON SCHOOL FALL 2013

Q&A How did you get into medicine?

Since I was a little kid I’ve been fascinated by the whole medical complex, from interpersonal relationships with patients to the mystery of how the body works.

I had asthma as a kid, and there was very little medication at that time, so the local GP would show up and give me a shot of adrenaline at 3 am in the morning and get me out of what was called status asthmaticus. Today it would be treated in emergency room. It had a big impact on me.

The fact that he came to see me in the middle of the night—this was powerful. I always wanted to be in medicine. Initially, I thought I was going to be a pediatrician. I really thought it would fulfill my goal of helping kids who were like me—getting better. Through all the rotations I did at Tufts at all the medical centers in Boston, I got more interested in the chronic disease states—not necessarily the acute ones. There was very little effort being made to deal with chronic disease—patients who suffer day-to-day with poorly controlled diabetes and poorly controlled heart disease—those types of things. I was influenced by my grandparents. You begin to realize that if you have an impact up front, you’ll be able to save a lot of these people from these chronic diseases. So I got into preventative medicine. That’s what I did early in my career. I was an internist for adults long before anyone was talking about geriatrics. With all the patients I inherited from two practices in Wellesley, I built a practice quickly around preventative health exams—controlling blood pressure, controlling cholesterol. Back in the 70s and 80s, people were not talking about taking care of the 75- and 85-year olds, people were dying before then.

How rewarding was it getting into geriatrics?

I was teaching internal medicine like so many people, and then I became a specialist. I was still in internal medicine with a sub-specialty of caring for the older population, but it was huge.

There are very few of us. The children of older adults are savvier now. They flock to my practice. On any day, I have one to two new older patients. The kids of these patients realize it’s a specialty. They understand that geriatrics is

What can our society do better related to older people and their healthcare?

One, take care of yourself so when you are older you don’t suffer the way they do. Remember, the vast majority of the older population that does suffer from some disease, it’s because they aged in an era when we did not understand the concept of preventive medicine. Now we have a lot of medicines that are keeping people alive who nor-

It was so rewarding to be recognized for making the effort and having the passion to take care of older adults.” a specialty dedicated to maintaining function above anything else. If a patient has chronic diseases and tons of medication, they come to my office and I either eliminate some of the medications they don’t need or cut the dosages down and work on function. Keeping them functional and happy without some of the symptoms they had before is the cornerstone of geriatrics.

What have been the highlights in your career?

Certainly becoming the Chief of Geriatrics at Tufts Medical Center, a major academic medical center. That was a huge turning point. It put me on the map in the city of Boston. It was so rewarding to be recognized for making the effort and having the passion to take care of older adults. The second one was when I was elected Governor of Massachusetts Chapter of the American College of Physicians. It was a complete surprise. I was fellow since the early 80s. I was very active. I was published and board certified, but it was a surprise …It’s a huge honor.

There is one in each state. Two times a year we have our governor meetings and four times a year we have our council meetings. And we have a tremendous impact on what happens in Washington DC as far as affordable care and electronic health records and meaningful use.

mally would have died in their 70s and 80s and are living into their 90s. So preventive medicine is the key thing to avoid usual problems that occur with aging and that includes exercise, diet, blood pressure and cholesterol control, etc.. The number two issue is caring for the older population is a major challenge. It is so painful to watch a family really struggle over whether to put mom or dad in a nursing home.

Everything changes when that happens.

Husbands and wives struggle to keep their spouse at home. And with a single grandparent, 50 percent of the children who are responsible for a demented parent not in a nursing home have to stop working.

So 24/7 care is very expensive. And in order to pay for a nursing home, Medicare will only pay for a nursing home for 21 days after you get out of the hospital—then you have to go privately or whittle down your expenses to qualify for Medicaid. It’s quite painful to watch. This country is not prepared for baby boomers like myself who are going to get older and are going to need some type of specialized care. Who’s going to pay for it? There is not going to be enough funding to pay for it. You’re going to have to run your money down to almost nothing before you are Medicaid eligible. The system does not work in this country.

Any advice to students and alumni interested in getting into Medicine?

If you interview a primary care physician and he/she starts to complain, don’t talk to them. We have a lot of unhappy primary doctors and they are my age. The way primary care has evolved, it requires a lot of unreimbursed work. My generation continues to complain—mind you we started off with a pay-forservices model. There is a dearth of primary care doctors. There is a need, but it’s difficult to convince medical students and residents who are hearing all

→

these negative comments to go into primary care. They’d rather go into cardiology where you can make half a million or radiology ($400K) and not have to bear the suffering in primary care. There is no suffering and it is not a burden. Once you understand how to do it, primary care is the most rewarding of all of the specialties. I’m an internist. We feel it is a specialty. There is plenty of support for primary care.

With the affordable care act, there is a 10 percent increase in primary care income coming in 2014. There will be more incentive for going into primary care. You are the captain of the ship and you’re responsible for the patient and you can decide if they need a specialist. If it worked like that, the cost in this country would go down dramatically. Now you can go to whomever you want. I have patients I inherited that come up from Florida after a spouse dies to live with their children, and they have a cardiologist, a neurologist, nephrologist, and rheumatologist —all of these who are providing them with care that I can provide for them under one roof. It’s not all that difficult to do.

How rewarding is the teaching?

The teaching is key. It keeps you on your toes and makes you a better doc.

It’s critical. I’m with students all day Monday and then I have second-year residents working in outpatient.

To me, it’s the reason to get up in the morning. You get students and residents who need to learn. Afterall, someday they’re going to be taking care of me, so I want them well trained. And to me it’s a lot of fun.

I was just a kid who fooled around a lot, which was why my parents sat me down and said if you want to go to medical school, you’re not even close to meeting your potential. Once I got into the environment—an all boys

“To me, it’s the reason to get up in the morning. You get students and residents who need to learn.

What is he most important quality to have with patients?

To understand what the aging process is all about. I get up in the morning a little stiff and I work out almost every day. I can only imagine what it’s like for an 85-year-old with very bad arthritis or spinal stenosis. These people really suffer and my role is to find ways to make them more comfortable so they can get up in the morning and be more functional. It’s a huge challenge but an absolute need.

How did New Hampton shape your career?

A lot of my classmates went into business, and I did not feel I was made for that. I was more of an academic. And I was not an academic before I came to New Hampton.

school, very academic, and sports-related with the structured schedule—I knew I wanted to be a doctor. During my senior year, I took advanced calculus. I remember taking an exam, and Lou Gnerre was the teacher. We turned in our exam and it was just impossible. He got in front of the class and said “None of you did well so we’re going to grade it on the curve. Dupee you got a 25.”

I ended up getting an A+ in the class. I got that reinforcement from him. I lived in Caswell with Lou. I realized by putting your nose to the grindstone and doing what you have to do, you can get into a good school and move on. My whole goal was to go to Tufts because I could go to the medical school. With the help of Bud, who had a lot to do with me getting there, I kept going. The sports were great fun and there was a lot of camaraderie at New Hampton, but it was the academics.

carolyn crosby, md class of 1981 Carolyn Richards Crosby feels lucky. On a recent summer evening, she stayed late in the office to see another patient who was suffering. And even after dinner with her husband and children, she figured that she had two-and-a-half hours of chart writing to do before the day was complete. But she’s not complaining. She’s been finding the appealing moments in a hectic schedule for years. Crosby was the class president and Meservey Medal winner when she graduated in 1981, played numerous sports, and soaked up science courses with her career goal in mind. Ambition leads to busy days.

Accepted to a number of selective east coast colleges out of New Hampton, she opted for Ohio Wesleyan, which offered can’t-turn-down scholarship money. Crosby, who graduated from NHS in three years, relished the small classes and the connections she developed with her science professors at a small, liberal arts college without graduate students. She was labready when she arrived at Dartmouth Medical School, but her family was not prepared for her next move—a Navy Health Professions Scholarship, which paid for medical school with obligated service as a doctor.

It began an odyssey from the mid 1980s through the mid 90s. Crosby notched her four years in Hanover in medical school. Only hours after graduating, she was in San Diego and beginning her service to her country. In between three years of residency, she worked in the Navy Hospital, served in the Persian Gulf during a two-year stint overseeing medicine for 1,500 soldiers on the USS Cape Cod, and then with two more years of service.

“When you are on the high school end of it, it sounds like forever,” said Crosby, who lives nearby in Meredith with her husband, Peter—a New Hampton School grad whom she met while waiting on his table in the dining hall— and twin children who are in high school. “When I look back now, I think of what a small percentage of my life that was. It’s funny. It was so worth it to put in that time to do what you want.” –W.M.

hometown: Meredith, New Hampshire Residence: Meredith, New Hampshire position: Family Physician, Belknap Family Health Center; Hospice Physician, LRGH

Q&A How did you decide to become a Doctor?

I knew when I was six years old. As a young kid, my Mom got remarried when I was five and my stepdad was a family doctor in Meredith. That had a significant influence on me. When I was very young and told people I wanted to be doctor, people said it was cute, but I stuck with it. Sometimes ambulances would pull into the driveway, and I was always fascinated. I would peek in to see what was happening. I really liked to observe him when he sewed up lacerations. I would go down to watch. When I was 12, I worked in the office during the summer filing charts. When there was something interesting, I could look. I was 12 when I learned how to draw blood. When I moved back to Meredith, a woman caught up to me in the Golden View parking lot and said “Dr. Crosby, you drew blood from me when you were 12.” It was cool to have that exposure and experiences at a young age.

Why the Navy?

I got into Dartmouth and discovered it was one thing to have an abstract idea of what it would cost to go to Medical school and then to see your name on the bill. So after the first couple of weeks I met a classmate who was applying to ROTC as a health professional. I ended up meeting a Navy recruiter and was impressed. I applied for a scholarship. My stepdad got wind of it, and took me out to lunch and tried to talk me out of it. He said he would sell some land to pay for med school. But I said, “this is my responsibility.” He helped me with college. It worked out well.

What was it like being a Doctor on a ship?

I was an intern at a Naval hospital and then instead of residency, they interrupt it and send you out on active duty. They don’t need as many specialists. I was in charge of a general medical office on the USS Cape Cod. I oversaw 26 Navy corpsmen and one physician assistant. We took care of 1,500 people on the ship and

supervised care for some other ships.

It was a great experience because I had to do inspections, order supplies, and was responsible for a budget.

How did you get into family practice in Meredith?

I got out of the Navy in 1996, which worked out, because I had twins and it was nice to not have to face threat of deployment. So I resigned my commission. My parents decided to sell their house, and my husband shocked me by asking me, “Would you ever consider moving back here?”

I now live in that house. We never contemplated coming back to New Hampshire. But we were back here for the first time in the fall. We missed the seasons. It was great to be outside with the smell in the air and hear the crunch of the leaves. It sounds crazy, but the weather in San Diego had gotten monotonous. Needless to say, we bought the house from my parents. I was living in the house I grew up in and was going into family practice in the same town that my father worked for so many years.

What is the most rewarding aspect of your work?

The relationships I’ve been able to build with multiple generations of families. It’s so fun. I have some of them that are four generations. And I love the puzzle. Specialists know what they’re dealing with. The patient has a disease and you have to choose a treatment.

Today for instance, my last patient of the day was a 27-year-old man who had four days of neck pain, night sweats, and fever. I have to figure out what it is. Is it West Nile, is it something else?

Any advice to folks considering medicine for a career?

Are you solely a primary care physician?

I would say it’s still a fabulous field and don’t be turned off by the curmudgeons who say “medicine has been ruined.” I disagree. It’s still great, primary care in particular. I love what I do. I’m always trying to recruit young doctors into primary care. I feel like I’m happier than anyone. There are always hassles with insurance and pa-

For the last nine years I’ve also been working in palliative care and hospice.

It’s very rewarding. I think end of life is a really special time, and people are often very open to spirituality and have special needs and really want to set things right. ...They are willing to have someone to step in and a team that is going to make a difference.

“I would say it’s still a fabulous field and don’t be turned off by the curmudgeons who say ‘medicine has been ruined.’ i disagree. It’s still great, primary care in particular. perwork, and it bugs me. But when I look at it on balance, at the end of the day, there are so many positives.

What’s the best advice for serving patients best?

Talk less and listen more. I think the patients tell you what’s wrong. You need to know what to ask and lead them. The less pontificating the better.

How did NHS influence you?

I had so many wonderful experiences at New Hampton. Academically it challenged me. Al Keith (Math) and Doc Chase (Chemistry) stood out as people who really challenged me to go further than I could. I had tons of fun and really loved the sports—I just loved it. I was given opportunities to be a leader, which really paid off.

halary patch

leblanc, np class of 2001

Halary answered her phone, never anticipating Karen would be on the other end. After all, she hadn’t spoken with her in over a year since she left Massachusetts General Hospital to tackle her busy life as a new mom, finish her Master’s Degree, and work in general medicine. Life was a bit more manageable now that her daughter Scarlett was 2 ½ , her degree was complete, and she had moved on to a private general cardiology practice. However, something was missing from her professional life. Halary felt destined to return to a hospital to work with cardiac ICU patients.

Her per diem shifts at MG left her craving more time to care for these patients.

Mass General’s Heart Transplant team needed another nurse practitioner on their team and they wanted her! Karen was a nurse practitioner on the team and was present for the most recent Friday meeting among doctors and nurses. There was a vacant spot and they needed the right nurse for the job; a caring individual that wanted the position. A doctor in the room stated, “I think it’s time to call Halary!”

“It was the right time” says Halary. “I knew a lot of the doctors. I had grown a lot personally and professionally there.”

Less than one year later, Halary appreciates working with “amazing people” as a heart failure/transplant nurse practitioner in the division of Cardiology at Mass General. Halary finds it “intellectually stimulating” to work at a teaching hospital with ongoing research and cutting edge medicine. She recently participated in a heart/lung transplant, the first successful one completed at Mass General. “I feel blessed to be a part of that medical history.”

“When you see people struggle and you go on that journey with them and you get the call they got a heart and then they recover and you find yourself saying ‘goodbye’… it’s surreal because you never thought you’d see the day!” says LeBlanc. “…At MG, we always emphasize that a heart or an organ is a gift and it needs to be taken care of.” –R.M.

Hometown: Glen, New Hampshire Residence: Danvers, Massachusetts Position: Heart Failure / Transplant nurse practitioner in the division of Cardiology at Massachusetts General Hospital

Q&A What are the most gratifying parts of your job?

The relationships you develop with people. I think for me I’m thankful every single day that I get to wake up and smell the air or someone cutting their lawn and that I get to come home and see my daughter. Some of the people here don’t get to do that. There are young patients that I have that won’t get to experience having a child or develop a loving relationship with a partner. I live everyday knowing that if I were to receive a diagnosis like these patients that I wouldn’t have any regrets.

Why did you want to be a nurse on the cardiology transplant team?

My mother was a nurse and a great role model. I didn’t think of being anything else. I liked taking care of people, even as a child. Caring for patients while they wait for heart transplants is humbling.

It makes me thankful every day for my friends and family, and for the simple things in life that we often take for granted. During my senior year at New Hampton School, I joined the New Hampton Fire Department as an EMT to test the waters and see if I could handle the field, the blood, etc.

While in college at Colby-Sawyer, I had to pick a senior practicum and knew I wanted to be in an ICU. I was going to choose pediatric ICU but it fell through, and the only other choice was cardiac ICU.

FALL 2013 HAMPTONIA 71

I was very apprehensive but loved it and have been doing it ever since.

I love learning, so for me it’s very intellectual stimulating to be in this current position. We get patients from the west coast and as far south as Florida. They set up shop in Boston and are here until they get a heart.

What are the most challenging parts of your job?

It is challenging to see patients from the initial onset of evaluating them for candidacy for a heart transplant or if they could survive with a VAD (ventricular assist device or artificial heart pump). We must determine the initial diagnosis of whether or not they will survive with their heart or not.

It’s hard to get attached to families. It’s a long road. For instance, one patient has been currently waiting for eight months. She is from New York and has no family in the Boston area.

The monotony of every day life in the hospital is challenging.

And, when the outcome is not good and a patient doesn’t get a transplant or gets very sick or he or she doesn’t want to continue with the process, there is a loss you grieve. You spend so much time with these people.

And, at the end of a day, going home to a 3-year-old that doesn’t understand the complexity of my job is hard. When you’re having a bad day at work, you must put on a poker face and move on.

Being able to connect emotionally with patients makes a nurse a good nurse. You must find that balance of emotion and still doing your job.

At times, when the patients are let down… you feel for them.

And with that, you have to understand that someone lost that life to give up that organ. You always keep that in the back of their mind. Someone’s family is choosing to give life to someone else.

I developed key relationships and friendships with people that made me realize how much I valued personalized relationships with people. That is what my job is all about… developing personal relationships with colleagues and patients.

My parents got divorced when I was a freshman. The New Hampton community was my family. I had adopted parents in Jen Berry, the Redmans,

“When you’re having a bad day at work, you must put on a poker face and move on. Being able to connect emotionally with patients makes a nurse a good nurse. You must find that balance of emotion and still doing your job.

How did your NHS years and the people there prepare you for your calling?

First of all, my four years at NHS were by far the best four years of my life!

I also call them the “Glory Days.” I formed better relationships there than at college. It was because of the faculty and the students that knew me so well.

and the Arsenaults. They were my other family. I was also close with Lisa Falconi Perfield’s (2001) parents. Also, my uncle passed away my senior year.

That was incredibly difficult for me.

What eased the process was the family that I developed at New Hampton. I was able to share in their joy and their pain, just as my mentors and friends at New Hampton School shared in my joy and pain.

pellegrino, rn class of 2003

It was the spring of 2006. A frustrated nursing student sat in her dorm room at Rivier University, a small Catholic institution located in Nashua, New Hampshire. Leslie’s microbiology professor broke it down for her. She needed to score 100 percent on her final exam in order to secure a B average and advance on with her degree. As she sat in that dorm room, her stress level crawled to an all-time high.

Leslie (Sawicki) Pellegrino ’03 decided during her junior year at New Hampton School that she would become an oncology nurse. Her grandparents were both diagnosed with B cell lymphoma. As Leslie, her sister Krystal Sawicki Alpers ’00, and their parents spent time with her sick grandparents, they quickly realized that the nurses were special. They had “a huge impact” on the family.

As Leslie contemplated her future that night in May of 2006, she suddenly looked back to her New Hampton School days. What helped her get through biology? Minutes later, Leslie sifted through her stuff and pulled out her notes from her biology and AP biology classes at NHS, both courses she took with David Perfield, a former teacher at New Hampton School. She studied only those notes for the rest of the evening, knowing that it would provide her with the best chance at scoring the 100 she needed. Biology semed to make sense when Perf taught it.

Leslie took her final the next day and earned that 100. She received the B she needed in order to continue to pursue her degree and become the nurse who provides her patients and their families with comfort, knowledge, care and love.

At the end of these rough days, she travels home to Danbury where she finds her own support and love from her husband Manie and children, Connor and Anna.

David Perfield still recognizes Leslie as one of the hardest working students he had as a teacher at NHS. “Leslie stands out because she just continued to work and never let up,” says Perfield. “She was independent, self-motivated, and set the standard for how I wanted to work with students.”

To this day, Leslie feels as though she has Perfield to thank for her understanding of biology and ability to conceptualize this subject. The feeling, however, is mutual.

“Leslie probably doesn’t know this but she made me a better teacher,” Perfield added. “She opened my eyes to how I can help students outside of the classroom and how I can help them transition their skills and talents into the challenges they’ll face in college.” –R.M.

Q&A What are the most gratifying parts of your job?

Helping people die with dignity and making them comfortable, because the majority of patients we get pass away. We receive a lot of patients with solid, stage-four tumors that are more severe. A lot of the people that come in are treated, but most end up passing away with us instead of at home.

We help talk the families through the dying process. A lot of them will come in for inductions of chemo and may have to stay for one to three months at a time because they get so sick from the chemo or have to be moved to ICU. Then, they return and we have to nurse them back. I have had relationships with some of my patients for more than five or six years. I have to continue to remind myself though that a majority of our patients are not in a good place.

Why oncology?

I don’t think I could work anywhere else. You see what the patients are going through and want to ease their pain.

The main reason I chose this was because I wanted to form relationships with my patients and get to know them so I could help them. I know what works for them, what they like and don’t like. All of this makes me a better nurse. After working with these patients, I don’t think I could be a good nurse to others who don’t know what oncology patients are going through. I work with incredible nurses. They are going through the same thing. We all learn to love these people.

How does the job make you feel about your contributions to society?

I enjoy helping others. They are going through the worst time of their lives.

You are helping them and their families get through it. So many people have to face this unfortunate disease. They need to be properly medicated, comfortable, and well educated about it.

What are the most challenging parts of your job?

The most challenging part of my job is seeing people I love die. I learn to love them as I form a relationship with them. I learn to hold myself back because their families are there and they are grieving. You have to grieve quietly, which is hard. Most family members of patients come in and say “we got

so hard because most patients that come through are so progressed that they are at a turning point where there isn’t much we can do.

How did your NHS years and the people there prepare you for your calling?

Perf was a huge part of it for me. I would not have made it through mi-

I learn to hold myself back because their families are there and they are grieving. You have to grieve quietly, which is hard. this… we’re going to beat this.” Then, they experience what their loved ones are going through with the treatments, bone marrow transplants, etc. It puts their loved ones through so much.

WHERE are they

now?

Each issue, we track down a former faculty member who left an impact on New Hampton School. Will Levy arrived as an intern in 1997, but left with an indelible place in the minds of young alumni. He also left with an entrepreneurial spirit that produced and executed the plans for an authentic cycling tour business. Hamptonia caught up with Will to see what he’s been up to the last decade.

What have you been doing since you left NHS?

I worked at the Australian Institute of Sport in Canberra for two years; I completed an Honors Year at the University of Canberra; I was Head of Sport at The Pittwater House Schools in Sydney for three years; and now I run a Mountain and Road Bike Touring Company www.mtnbike.com.au and www. twowheeltours.com.au. We do tours in Australia, New Zealand, and also Europe. We also run Bike Skills Sessions and transport bikes all over the East Coast of Australia to different cycling events.

What do you love about your business/work?

What have you learned about the importance of traveling and seeing the world?

The world is an amazing place. When you get the chance to travel, do it! It helps to open your eyes. I’m lucky enough to travel the world for “work.” I am writing this while sitting in a hotel room in the town of Lourdes in France. I am about to fly back to Sydney, Australia after three months of tours here in the EU. I have made many friends during these tours, both locals and clients, many of whom will come back and tour with us again in the years to come.

Any stories that you retell with regularity?

Every day is different. I love working with people, traveling, the challenge of growing a business, and the reward of seeing it all unfold.

I have great memories from NHS: Ski Day, the 2002 Basketball Championship, stories from the dorm, plus trying to understand Mark Tilton with a mouth full of cigar.

much free time. I do enjoy getting out on my bike to escape emails and the phone.

Any advice for those starting a small business?

With whom do you stay in touch?

What are your fondest memories of NHS?

Take a chance. I remember Alan Crocker (former Assistant Headmaster) talking to parents at one of the information nights. He asked them to think about the course that they studied at college/university. How many of them were currently in a profession in which they studied for their first degree?

The list is long, thanks to Facebook.

I have had a few students and teachers come visit me in Sydney. One person who hasn’t made the journey yet is Mark Tilton.

How do you spend your free time?

Since I work for myself, there isn’t

First and foremost—the people. The teachers, staff, and students are what make the place. The weather, coming from Sydney Australia, we never have snow so seeing it for months is hard to forget. The basketball—I just threw away my sweater from the 2002 NEPSAC Championship Winning Team.

Walter Umla ’41 and his plane, “Snowball’s Gesarium.”

The Class Notes below reflect information received through July 23, 2013. Please send news and/or high-resolution photos of yourself or other alumni to include in these pages to Hamptonia, Class Notes, Alumni Office, New Hampton School, 70 Main Street, New Hampton, NH 03256 or e-mail alumni@ newhampton.org. Thank you.

1941 Walter Umla sent a note updating his militar y ser vice for New Hampton School’s archives: “I was at New Hampton for two wonderful years. Fred Smith, Sr. ’10 was headmaster, his brother Maur y was a teacher and, as I recall, young red-headed Freddy (Fred Smith, Jr. ’45) was just entering school the year after I graduated. I went on for two years at Colgate and then joined the Air Force as a cadet, went through pilot training , became a fighter pilot with the 20th fighter group, 8th Air Force f lying the P51 Mustang and had credit for two enemy destroyer and one damaged. After the war went into the lumber business, sold out in 1986, and retired to live the life of Riley since.”

1943 Roger Lyons recently called advising he would not be able to return to NHS to celebrate his 70th NHS Reunion as he would be in Mexico. He hopes to get back east soon and visit his alma mater!

1944 An update from George Ahl: “Having a great time with my granddaughter, Signe.

She was made co-captain of the Deerfield Ski Team for 2013-14. I told her about my becoming co-captain for New Hampton School in 1945. I remember Rocky Holman and I had this responsibility. This is ver y special at this time in my life, and it would not have happened without my time at NHS.” Bill Rankin visited campus last summer (2012) with his daughter on their way to a family reunion in Maine. He followed up afterwards with a note to Director of Alumni and Parent Relations Cindy Buck:

“ The recent (2011) passing of Governor Walter Peterson ’42 reminded me of a New Hampton event that occurred during World War II. I was in the Navy and was assigned to the crew of the USS PC 1214.

A PC is a 165-ft. Patrol Craft used mainly in the anti-submarine warfare. Our mission was to convoy merchant ships that passed through the Panama Canal from the Pacific to the Atlantic to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. While my ship was tied up at the Coco Solo Naval Base on the Atlantic side (April 1945), awaiting the formation of a convoy, I ran into Governor Peterson in the enlisted men’s beer hall one evening while on base liberty. He was an officer and was treating members of his crew to a few beers for doing an outstanding job that day. His ship was a Seagoing Tug and was there awaiting passage through the Canal to the Pacific. He remembered me and we talked about New Hampton.

He said it would be about 10 days before they could get passage through the Canal.

Remembering how good a basketball player he was, I suggested a game between his ship FALL 2013 HAMPTONIA 77

class notes and mine. The base had excellent sports facilities including a basketball court. He immediately accepted the challenge, and the game was arranged. The captain on my ship said he wanted to play. The game was played, and they won handily. Walt must have scored fifty points as his repertoire of shots was impossible to block. Before his ship shoved off I visited him aboard. He actually had a basket and backboard set up on the fantail of his ship where he was able to practice in his off hours. I thought New Hampton alums would enjoy that little bit of WWII history!”

Irving Cushing and his daughter Donna Campbell visited New Hampton School to attend the recent Manitou Circle Breakfast during Reunion Weekend 2013. Irving was recognized with the Most Distinguished Alumni Award at the breakfast. A note from his daughter followed: “My dad was so excited and couldn’t wait to show ever yone the gift that was presented to him. He really enjoyed himself, and I was so happy to be able to bring him. He is one special man. …Thanks again.”

1948 Tom Monahan recently sent a copy of the Oral Roberts University Basketball program when the Golden Eagles played UC Ir vine with a note, “New Hampton gets around.” Damen Bell-Holter ’09 played for Oral Roberts while Travis Souza ’11 and Will Davis II ’11 both played on the UC Irvine team.

1949 (William) Bruce Crowell checks in with the Alumni Office from time to time and more specifically to talk about his favorite people, T. Holmes ’38 and Jinga Moore.

He recently provided an update for his classmates: “It has been 64 years since I saw New Hampton School fade in the rear view mirror. What a fantastic experience…a firm foundation upon which to grow. I guess I always knew I would pursue the military as a career. I loved every second of it and wouldn’t change a thing: Distinguished Militar y Graduate from the University of Rhode Island; University of Shippensburg, MS; United States Army War College; Master Army Aviator and after retirement in 1979 on to United Technologies, Pratt and Whitney Aircraft, West Palm Beach, program management for all three aircraft engine programs. It was a great second career from which I, again, retired in 1991. I could not have accomplished any of it had it not been for my wife Sally—the best thing that ever happened to me. She is the reason for all my success! Our children, Judy and Steve, are our pride and joy. They and our 78 NEW HAMPTON SCHOOL FALL 2013

grandchildren are a constant source of joy and admiration. So—Go Go Go Class of 1949… but only fast enough so you don’t hurt anything!”

1950 John Knapton recently shared the following stor y about what was originally known as Mailbox Hill Ski area at New Hampton School: “I spent many enjoyable hours walking the nearby countr yside, mostly following old roads, occasionally through woods. But at that time I could go along at four miles per hour. Now I would be lucky to make two mph. The pictures, along with a sermon from (the local minister at that time) Reverend Chester Howe, also brought back memories of what I considered for many years as one of man’s fundamental desires: to be in conf lict with nature. When satisfied, man is less prone to take up arms against his fellow man. After all, man evolved in constant contact with nature. And of course,

after a long walk or skiing at Mailbox and after using up any excess energ y, I was always content to sit in peace with my classmates, and do my lessons. Of course having blisters from poorly fitting shoes also helped me to sit still. Reverend Howe’s comments were related to a challenge he put to the congregation (attendance was required by New Hampton students). The Sunday morning temperature was minus 35 degrees Fahrenheit; his challenge or advice, which I followed, go outside and enjoy the weather. And I followed up with a walk through the snow around the campus—no 10 or 20-mile walk! From the Reverend’s advice, it was a simple step to my conclusion that physical exertion can have a soothing effect on one’s basic desires, and if the interaction is done by interacting with nature, then I think a basic desire is satisfied. I always thought it unfortunate that more youngsters are not able to enjoy the pleasures of combining good exercise and the beauty on what nature has to offer.”

1954 An update from James Wright writes: “I retired after 50 years in high school teaching and administration, but I couldn’t stand the quiet and am now teaching at a local Community College. I spend a lot of email time trying to get Tom Grady and Toni Torti into main-stream politics. I went to the Reunion in 2012—it was a blast. NHS is ‘with it.’ See you at the 60th in 2014.”

1957 It has been another busy year for George McEvoy. In July of 2012, George had the honor of being Parade Grand Marshall for the annual Windjammer Days Parade in Boothbay Harbor. More recently, George was recognized with the Rotary Lifetime Achievement Award at a surprise ceremony held in June 2013 in Boothbay Harbor, Maine. George has been a loyal benefactor of many programs, non-profit organizations, and businesses in Maine for several decades, including the Boothbay Region YMCA , Boothbay Region Historical Society, Boothbay R ailway Village, Maine Maritime Museum, R am Island Preser vation Trust, Boothbay Fire Company to mention but a tiny smattering of his many venues of interest and support.

His plaque reads: “Preser vationist for R ailway Village, Lighthouse, Ships and Buildings—Lovable Curmudgeon—and Lifelong Friend and Benefactor to Us All!” Well deser ved, George and our heartiest congratulations to you!!!

1963 Gary Margolis, after celebrating Reunion 2013 with 30 classmates, shared the following ref lections: “So much appreciate being able to see your faces, to spend a few minutes in the circle of our shared memories, by those time- spent brick buildings, the timeless hills and trees.

And for your generosity in not reminding while I was revering Joe Rice that Jim Shaw and I actually lived in Lewis not Lane—although the time in Lane sometimes felt endless.”

ized f lying would be an awesome career.

I attended A.T.P. Inc., (a f light school) in Jacksonville, Florida, where I became an Instrument Single & Multi-Engine Commercial Pilot. A .T.P. Inc. hired me on as a f light instructor. I started out as a dispatcher in the ‘pit’ as they call it. I was on my way to getting paid to f ly, which is a big turning point. By definition, I became a professional pilot. After a short stint in the pit, my career began teaching privates. With a few students under my belt, I began to teach in the multi-engine and got moved to ‘add-ons.’ I was soon teaching it all, between commercial, ATP, and f light instructor ratings. I was busy; busy improving as an instructor. W hile at A.T.P. Inc., I trained a gentlemen who had thousands of hours in a Huey during Vietnam, owned his own air plane, and needed a pilot. He made me an offer and I took it, f lying a cabin-class, pressurized Navajo, PA-31P. On my days off, I started some freelance f light instruction for people who had their own aircraft. I realized that I really enjoyed teaching, and I came up with the idea of purchasing my own aircraft for training and rental. So J’s Aviation was created and here we are today.”

2007 Katie Calder checked in with this update: “I am a Marketing and Entrepreneurship major at Oklahoma State. I worked as a recruiting assistant in the OSU Football Office for four years. I took a semester off to volunteer for the United Way and a small dance studio in town. The studio shut down, and I decided to open my own.

Owning a dance studio has been a dream of mine since I was 12. I can’t imagine ever starting my own studio if it weren’t for the work ethic I was taught while at New Hampton. Not only was I taught to chase my dreams and stand out from the crowd, but I was given the opportunity to teach and choreograph while at NHS which gave me the courage to follow my passion and believe in myself. Calder Dance Connection (CDX) was opened in July of 2011 and had a ver y successful first year. The CDX Dance Company dancers won several top honors at competitions and conventions all year, while having the opportunity to work with the best teachers and choreographers in the nation. I have won choreography awards for my work as well. My goal is to finish up college soon, but I’m taking my time and focusing on building up the studio.

I’m also a marketing intern in the Intramurals office at OSU. Super busy, but wouldn’t have it any other way!”

Andrew Menke during the winter: “For a little over a year now I have been living in Washington, DC and working in Political Affairs and Federation Relations at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber is the world’s largest business federation representing the interests of more than three million businesses as well as state/ local chambers and industry associations.

My division’s principal job is to help elect pro-business candidates to the U.S. House and Senate and advocate for policies that will allow our members to grow and create jobs. This past election cycle my team endorsed about 300 congressional candidates and 80 percent were elected. We invested in the most competitive races across the country in order to educate and mobilize free enterprise voters, launching multiple rounds of advertisements. This election year was an experience of a lifetime, and I had the opportunity to meet and work with some tremendous people.

I find myself restless for the next one…I always reflect on my time at New Hampton around this time of year; there’s something magical about the campus during the winter months. In my current position, there are so many things New Hampton prepared me for. Chief among them is the ability to be a great team player and identify unique talents in those around me. The level of diversity New Hampton exposed to me enables me to enter new environments with energy and confidence. I am always grateful for the time I spent at NHS.” Yoon Joo “Jade” Jung was married in April and relocating from current address in Dallas, Texas.

T homas “C lay ” Garlow recently checked in with a note to Head of School Andrew Menke: “While I was not a student for long at the New Hampton School, I greatly appreciate the acknowledgement in the Kantian metaphysical nature of the education process applied to the student body during my brief stint in the program. The idea of a global citizen was first introduced to me in this cloister of a place I realized so pivotal to the essence of composing oneself into a true aesthetician and the autonomy around which the core values stressed at NHS are built. Even more so, I applaud

Madeleine Blais ’12 and Samantha Brenner ’12.

NHS on their overwhelming ability to have had a staff of individuals deeply committed not only to stressing the rationality in this ethic, but as well as provided guidance at critical moments toward the development of each student into a matured individual themselves. While I can not call myself an alumnus of NHS, I do still have an absolutely huge respect for what has occurred in the regality of the classrooms tucked away in those compendious New Hampshire mountains. Without said introductions to academia in an honest manner, I may never now be on the ventures of which I now seek.” Well said, Clay!

Maddy chose Marist College while Sam selected the University of Vermont. Their first official game was against each other.

Herman and Doris Hassinger at Camp Rockywold.

Herman and Doris Hassinger P’77 ‘78, GP’90 October 25, 2012 Longtime member of the Board of Tr ustees Herman Hassinger and his wife Doris died on October 25, 2012 after being involved in a plane crash en route to a Board of Trustees meeting at the School. They were the parents of two New Hampton School graduates and grandparent of another. A self-employed architect, Hassinger and Doris made their home in Block Island, Rhode Island, and routinely flew in Herman’s plane to the School’s four annual Board of Trustees meetings.

“Her man and Dor is were some of the greatest suppor ters of New Hampton School,” said Peter Galletly, Chairman of the New Hampton School Board of Trustees. “Herman was the longest serving trustee on the board and he contributed in so many ways.

Herman was the architect for many 86 NEW HAMPTON SCHOOL FALL 2013

of our buildings on campus. He was incredibly generous with his time and thoughtful of the student experience at New Hampton.”

Hassinger ser ved the School on the Board of Trustees since 1978. His son John graduated in 1977, and his daughter Elizabeth graduated in 1978.

“He was incredibly generous with his time and thoughtful of the student experience at New Hampton.”

– peter galletly ’73 P’09, chairman of nhs board of trustees

New Hampton Head of School Andrew Menke said that Hassinger was a wonderful presence and a consistent voice on the Board of Trustees.

“Herman and Doris were wonderful people,” said Menke. “He was instrumental in our adoption of the International Baccalaureate program, and as an outstanding architect, he was

a strong supporter of campus capital improvements. His committed stewardship has helped the school reach unprecedented health. Herman and Doris will be missed greatly, and their legacy will endure forever on this campus.”

Board of Trustees Chairman Emeritus Jason Pilalas ’58, who became a dear friend of Hassinger’s, was interviewed by NHPR Radio a day after the Hassingers’ passing, and commented on the legacy Herman’s designs have left on the NHS campus. “ There are some buildings that are well over a hundred years old, and there are some that are one or two years old,” Pilalas remarked, “But they all fit together wonderfully...His hand prints, his foot prints, are just all over this campus.”

Hassinger, 83, a retired Coast Guard commander, operated Herman Hassinger Architects of Moorestown, New Jersey. He was known for religious architecture, including work on more than 200 churches. He designed new churches, renovated old ones,

and furnished church interiors, his family said.

“My dad was all about his work,” said his daughter, Judi Hall. “He was never without a pencil in his hand and writing on a paper napkin, a placemat or a church bulletin.”

One of his creations was St. Matthew Lutheran Church, his home congregation in Moorestown. “He put a lot of himself into that building,” Hall said.

His most recent project was a new sanctuary for Good Shepherd Lutheran Church of Kingston, R .I., where a funeral ser vice for the couple was held.

Hall said the church was on a tight budget, so she and her father shopped for affordable lighting; he finally chose a cooking item — the wok — to sit behind the sanctuary lights.

“He insisted on leaving the handles on the woks so everybody would know what they were,” Hall said.

In another church, he adapted a teak salad bowl to be part of the baptismal font. In a third, he camouflaged a smoke detector above the altar by surrounding it with colored tiles.

“If you have to hide something, hide it in plain sight,” Hall said her father told her.

While Mr. Hassinger could sometimes be opinionated, Mrs. Hassinger was good-natured, personable and “a

rock,” Hall said.

“My dad couldn’t be my dad without my mom. She really let him be who he wanted to be,” said Hall.

“All of us thought he would go first, and my mom would be around for a while. It would give my mom that period of time to be herself without my dad. But the fact that they both went together — they are together — maybe that’s good.”

Mrs. Hassinger, also 83, was a community volunteer. She ser ved with

the Burlington County Hospital Auxiliary and volunteered at the Philadelphia Museum of Art while raising a family in Moorestown. In 2000, the Hassingers made Block Island their permanent home.

Mr. Hassinger was born in Germany, his wife in Philadelphia. The two met in fourth grade in Mount Airy and married at age 21.

Mr. Hassinger graduated from Central High School and the University of Pennsylvania with a bachelor’s degree in architecture. Mrs. Hassinger was a graduate of Philadelphia High School for Girls and earned an associate degree from Drexel University in secretarial skills.

T heir love of ar t and culture spurred them to travel the world. As members of the International Flying Rotarians, they often flew their plane throughout the United States, and to Canada, the Bahamas, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand.

Mr. Hassinger had more than 45 years of experience as a pilot. Mrs. Hassinger was also a licensed pilot for several years, and periodically took instruction to qualify as his copilot. Mr. Hassinger was a fellow of the American Institute of Architects and in 1971 ser ved as president of the organization’s Philadelphia chapter. His work also included commercial buildings and residences, mostly in Moorestown and Block Island. He earned awards for churches, offices, school buildings, and his home on Block Island.

The Hassingers shared an interest in education and literacy. Mrs. Hassinger worked on committees at the Art Museum and at the schools and churches that she attended, and on Block Island as a literacy volunteer. She recently completed a term on the board of trustees of the island librar y. Sur viving in addition to his daughter, are a son John; two other daughters, Virginia and Elizabeth; 12 grandchildren; and five great-grandchildren. Mrs. Hassinger also is survived by a brother, Bruce Lighty.

LETTER from the Chair from the chair of the advancement committee of the board of trustees The 2012-2013 Annual Report of Gifts underlines the continued success at New Hampton School. Throughout these pages you will see the growing strength of this wonderful school. It is my honor to express sincere thanks on behalf of the Board of Trustees to the New Hampton School community for its financial support this year. New Hampton School is able to deliver on its mission to cultivate lifelong learners who will serve as active global citizens because of the generosity of our alumni, parents, past parents, grandparents, and friends.

Since the beginning of GO BEYOND: The Campaign for New Hampton School in 2007, the Annual Fund has grown by more than 100 percent, placing New Hampton School’s Annual Fund among the top of peer schools.

Because of the generosity of so many loyal donors, the Annual Fund surpassed it's $1.2 million goal, raising a total of $1,402,254 in unrestricted donations and $296,216 in restricted donations.

In addition to the Annual Fund, New Hampton School has also continued to raise money for GO BEYOND: The Campaign for New Hampton School

94 NEW HAMPTON SCHOOL FALL 2013

which officially ended in June raising over $40 million. The completion of the Campaign brings two new construction projects which are already underway.

With the exceptional leadership of Head of School Andrew Menke and his team, New Hampton School continues on its extraordinary forward trajectory. Your generous donations to New Hampton School make a dramatic difference. The School’s incredible momentum is in large part due to the donors listed on the following pages.

Thank you for your tireless support of New Hampton School.

100 NEW HAMPTON SCHOOL FALL 2013

"Having just celebrated our 55th Reunion with our classmates allowed me to reflect on how fortunate I was to have a New Hampton School education: small classes, wonderful faculty, fine coaches, and the superb leadership of T. Holmes Moore ’38. It became a building block for college, the military and gave me confidence for the corporate world.

I give to New Hampton School every year.

Head of School Andrew Menke has brought incredible leadership to the School. He has built a wonderful team of faculty and staff, and the students are the proof! I believe my giving is a good investment for the future of NHS students."

FROM A legacy Family Stephen ’82 and Carol Thomas, Christian ’17 and Dominick ’16 "My New Hampton School experience was wonderful, and we are so pleased that our two sons now have the opportunity to attend New Hampton School as well. It is always great to return to see the incredible improvements made throughout campus, but also to know my sons will have the opportunity to be surrounded by and learn from caring faculty just as I did 30 years ago.

Carol and I give as a way to say thank you to the people who have made a difference in all our lives."

The strength of New Hampton School's future endowment depends in large part upon the foresight and support of those alumni, parents and friends who have chosen to include the school in their estate plans.

The 1821 Society serves to acknowledge their confidence and vision.

Members of the New Hampton School community who have established bequests, life income gifts and charitable trusts for the ultimate benefit of the school recognize the value of a New Hampton School education and their responsibility to help preserve the opportunity for future generations.

Leave a Legacy We invite you to leave your own legacy.

New Hampton School alumnus and former trustee George Ahl ’44 wants to ensure a wonderful future for New Hampton School.

The former co-captain of the ski team is creating his own New Hampton Legacy.

How did you get connect with NHS as a child?

My parents wanted me to go away to a good school in New England. Through a very careful search, we found NHS.

What was most influential for you at NHS? I find myself going back to the history of the school. The word vision comes to mind. Early on there was a vision regarding the development of the student: that vision has carried forward through all these years, through Fred Smith, Bud Moore and now with Andrew Menke.

And that vision was to build on the inner potential of the student. I was exposed to a very stringent academic standard and I rose to the occasion. NHS brought out the potential in me and still does so today.

What prompted you to make a gift in your estate?

I wanted to help. An NHS education is critical for future leaders in a complex world.

Educating students from around the world requires tremendous foresight and a continued focus on the school’s enduring mission.

I hope my small contribution can be of help towards these goals and continuity.

The generosity displayed by George has been shared by alumni, parents, and friends of the School who have made planned gifts and have thus been recognized as members of the 1821 Society. Whether it is a bequest, a life insurance designation, or a life income gift, you can help secure New Hampton’s future success.

Jennifer Shackett Berry ’83 27 years of service

Who will you honor?

“I had Jen Berry ’83 as a teacher in English composition, which was a subject I viewed as a weakness of mine.

I credit her for helping me become a much better writer. Jen has been instrumental in guiding me as I step into my new role as a faculty member here at New Hampton School. She is the perfect person to honor with a gift to NHS, not only for the influence she’s had on me as a student and a new teacher, but also to celebrate her lifelong service to NHS and the impact she has had on so many students!”

— Matt Dodge ’07 First-year faculty
