LOOKING BACK AND LOOKING AHEAD At North Shore Country Day School, the close relationship between strategic planning and the daily experience of school is palpable and powerful.

You’ll surely have noticed something different about this Acorn issue. The magazine looks as lovely and is as inspiring as usual, but this time it is bundled with our 2017-2022 Strategic Plan. This was practical and cost-effective, to be sure, but there is a larger, more symbolic message behind the simple mailing.

At North Shore Country Day School, the close relationship between strategic planning and the daily experience of school is palpable and powerful.

As I’ve written elsewhere, North Shore has a long and proud history of thoughtful strategic planning. Unlike the planning processes at some other places, we use these documents; they live and breathe, they inform what we do every day and how we plan for the future. This discipline has allowed the School to grow and thrive throughout generations.

The graduates of the Class of 2017 grace our cover and feature prominently in the Acorn. The experience these students had at North Shore—whether for 14 years or two—was thoroughly shaped by the educational priorities that were born under founding Headmaster Perry Dunlap Smith, examined and tweaked by successive strategic-planning committees, delivered by talented teachers and funded by thousands of generous school supporters. Reflection and improvement are in the School’s DNA. Strategic plans promote both, and our students are the happy beneficiaries. Whether they

grasp it fully or not, the graduates in the Class of 2017 are connected in myriad ways to Smith, his School and generations of people who built this place.

The classes, gardens, interim trips, athletic contests and arts performances you’ll read about within are all important parts of the North Shore experience.

That’s a different sort of “bundle,” one that defines learning here and shapes our students. The ecosystem it creates, using the word offered by Hilary Bishop Scott ’96 (page 12), thrives on the interconnection of these priorities and people, creating a place where all “grow and thrive together.”

Kathy Button Bell ’76 (page 73) echoes this same idea. Her triumphs as a young scholar and the amazing success of her basketball team were not achieved in isolation but in the company of others— peers, teachers, parents, coaches—who helped students stretch and grow. What greater praise than a student’s report that our school not only taught information but “helped sculpt our nature.”

How does that happen? Explicitly, to be sure, in lessons and exhortations about how to study and how to treat others. It also happens organically here, in the dayto-day activities and expectations of this place that shape us all. These pages are full of examples of service to others, participation in the arts, deep and meaningful studies. These are not just ways to keep students busy and out of trouble, they are a core part of what we do and who we are.

Parents, too, understand this. For Howard Jessen, parent and grandparent of alumni in the classes of ’70, ’73, ’76, ’00

and ’02, the “constructive contact” that drew him and his wife Susie to North Shore continues years later. Howard has served in multiple roles at the School and continues to coach in our Science Olympiad program, sharing his knowledge and modeling every day what it means to be a lifelong learner. He follows his students’ progress afterwards, too, into high school and college.

This link connects generations.

Howard’s son, Art Jessen ’70, returned to North Shore, spending 11 years in our communications office. Art and the other retiring faculty and staff you see listed (page 52) gave decades of service to the School and its students. To hear students and colleagues share memories and stories about these and other departing faculty and staff was heartwarming.

Finally, the Annual Report included in this issue details those who have given their time, their talent and their resources to ensure our students have the best possible experience. Our faculty and staff could not do what they do without this support, and our students would not have the same opportunities. On behalf of all of them, I offer my thanks.

The excitement for the new year, our 98th year, is building steadily. By the time you read this Acorn, classes will be in full swing and we will be on our way toward implementing the recommendations in the Strategic Plan. Indeed, they are bundled together, as we all are in this community, with the singular purpose of supporting kids. Go Raiders!

“T

he one thing we’re always being told, from the time we are still having nap time in preschool, is to hang on to the memories, because this part in your life is going to fly by,” said Richard Santi ’17 who delivered the senior class message to proud parents, faculty, staff and friends gathered before him in the North Shore Country Day School Auditorium.

Fifty-two seniors made up the Class of 2017 who transitioned from North Shore students to alumni on Friday, June 9. The 2017 Commencement ceremony included four Lifers who attended NSCDS since either junior or senior kindergarten: Sarah Lumberg ’17, Amy Muslin ’17, Tommy McHugh ’17 and Will Murnighan ’17.

After Richard’s humorous and nostalgic words, Upper School Department Chair and History Teacher Kiernan Aiston addressed the class to send them off with the message: Safety second. “Not safety first. Safety second. I realized that it’s always been safety second, all on its own.

And so, I began to wonder. If safety does indeed come second...What comes first?”

Kiernan detailed the fleeting moments of what he initially thought came first.

It may have been the thrill of adventure or the solitude of writing. There was a time when he thought football came first, but during his first college football drill, a hit from Butkus Award winner and second overall pick in the 1996 NFL Draft Kevin Hardy proved otherwise.

“You will be faced with the realization that you’re just not as awesome as you thought. Hopefully it won’t come in the form of a consensus all-American

linebacker bearing down on you, but it will likely come,” he said.

His message came full circle in reminding the seniors that these obstacles and realizations should happen. “Get back out there and train more, audition more, paint more, read more, write more, work harder,” he said. “And that’s why safety comes second. What comes first, is gratefulness.”

Head of School Tom Flemma, dressed in a flamingo pink jacket, also congratulated the seniors and thanked them for his first year at NSCDS before distributing their diplomas.

“No, I didn’t lose a bet to wear this jacket,” he began. “This jacket belonged to my father who passed away when I was 18.

He was an amazing man in many ways, a cardiac surgeon who smoked cigars and had a wardrobe that defied easy characterization. He wore clothes that reflected the way he approached life—with color and vibrancy and flair. He told me once that you take what you do seriously but you can’t take yourself too seriously. I’ve always tried to live that way.”

Tom also shared words from one of Illinois’ favorite sons, Adlai Stevenson, who once gave some graduation advice that became a tradition at his college.

“Your days are short here; this is the last of your springs. And now in the serenity and quiet of this lovely place, touch the depths of truth, feel the hem of Heaven.

You will go away with old, good friends.

And don’t forget when you leave why you came.”

Tom concluded by saying, “I truly hope that you came here to learn and laugh, to live and serve—and that you will continue to do them all as you go forth into the world. And when you do, don’t be afraid to wear a loud jacket every now and then.”

After the seniors received their diplomas and a round of applause, the Auditorium filled with recessional music as everyone made their way outside to the bell. The song soon blended into the seniors singing “Wake the Echoes,” symbolically for the last time as students.

The Lifers then lowered and folded the American and school flags. They approached the bell, one by one, with a triumphant tug of the rope to ring it out through campus and conclude a 13- or even 14-year journey as North Shore Country Day School students.

“I share great memories with every single person who is sitting up here,” said Richard in concluding his remarks. “They have been truly amazing people to share the last few years. I am so grateful to have been a part of this amazing school, and have no doubt that one day down the line, when I am sitting in my rocking chair… sipping iced tea, and listening to an Ella Fitzgerald record, I will be able to cherish many great memories of high school. Not the big ones, but the little ones. And the little ones are so much more meaningful.

Thank you all, and my most sincere congratulations to the Class of 2017.”

AN ADVOCATE FOR CHILDREN HILARY BISHOP SCOTT ’96

12

feature “I began asking myself, ‘Why am I organizing this event when I can be doing something more meaningful?’ I loved the work I was doing with children and saw the need in the community and the population I was working with.”

W

hether caring for her two sons, traveling halfway around the world to serve children in Tanzania or volunteering to help youth on Chicago’s South Side with college readiness, Hilary Bishop Scott ’96 has focused her life’s work on children.

But like many people, her life plan and purpose evolved as she grew, influenced by her experiences along the way, and a little bit of luck and fate.

After earning a liberal-arts degree in religious studies with a minor in women’s studies from Connecticut College, Hilary didn’t know exactly what she wanted to do next. “When I was in college, I enjoyed some wonderful internships, including at a women’s shelter, that made an impression on me. I also developed a set of skills, but I needed a few life experiences to figure out where I really wanted to focus.”

As luck would have it, she was on her way to interview for a job in Salt Lake City and at the airport ran into Nancy Searle, parent of alumni G.P. ’03 and Todd ’05.

“She asked why I was there and I told her I was interviewing for a job with the U.S. Ski Team. She didn’t think it was a fit and soon called me with an opportunity at the Shedd Aquarium,” explains Hilary.

Initially, she was reluctant and had her heart set on moving out West but agreed to “just talk to” her prospective employer.

That talk turned into a job as a Shedd development assistant wearing a lot of different hats. “You learn about what you like, what you’re good at and where you need to grow. When you graduate from college, you think you have it all figured out. I didn’t know what I didn’t know.

I grew a lot in that job.”

While working at the Shedd, she began volunteering with Chicago Youth Centers, where she started a mentoring program for college-bound students from Chicago Public Schools. “Even if I could find a resource to help them, I started to understand the range of difficult issues that need to be addressed in these underserved communities. Before that hands-on experience, it was difficult to grasp what a challenge we have with so many young people who do not have access to resources.”

Her next career move took her to the University of Chicago as assistant director of donor relations, working in a much larger development department specializing in matching scholarship students with endowed scholarship donors.

“While at U of C, I was asked to help with an event recognizing Irving Harris, a philanthropist who believed in the importance of early childhood development and invested in academics and resources. Among his many accomplishments, he made a financial gift to U of C that established the Irving B. Harris Graduate School of Public Policy Studies.

“I began asking myself, ‘Why am I organizing this event when I can be doing something more meaningful?’ I loved the work I was doing with children and saw the need in the community and the population I was working with. So I applied to U of C’s School of Social Service Administration graduate program, was accepted and enrolled full time.

That was the beginning of making my night job my day job.”

No sooner had she completed her degree, than she got married and had her first child, sidelining her professional ambitions temporarily. “All of my graduate classes hadn’t prepared me for parenthood. That was the first time in my life I realized I can’t solve this. I just had to be a mom and figure it out.

“Then I got pregnant again just when I was preparing to go back to work. On top of it, my mother was diagnosed with cancer and I wanted to be there for her.

I am a problem solver and I wanted a way to fix it. Family was my full-time job. That was tough. It was not the way I planned it.

“Like everything in life, things always turn out the right way. My mother had wonderful doctors and is doing great today.

My older son, Alex, is thriving in public school and my younger, Thomas ’26, is at North Shore in 4th grade.”

Fast forward to 2017. Hilary is immersed in volunteer work. After years on the Board of Chicago Youth Centers, she continues to mentor high-school students, helping them with college access; she also accompanied a group from UNICEF on a field visit to Tanzania and is

now on the Midwest Board of UNICEF. Her role is raising awareness of the issues affecting children around the world and the role UNICEF plays in early childhood education and health. Most recently, she received a fellowship through the McCormick Foundation for leaders in child-related causes to create more early childhood advocates. “This marks another step in my life experience advocating for children, experiencing a North Shore Country Day education, leveraging my master’s degree in social work and knowing how to navigate the system to help others to have similar access and good outcomes. If you invest early in a child’s life you can get a much better outcome.

For me, UNICEF is a great way to make a difference in early childhood in the developing world.”

When asked about her earliest memories of attending North Shore, Hilary says she doesn’t remember not being at the School. She started in junior kindergarten and vividly recounts three great teachers: Helen Turley, Melanie Murray and Lynda Wood. Hilary also includes memories of “iconic” teachers such as Carol Abelmann, Tom Rosenbluth and Bob Kramer.

Hilary remains connected to North Shore today as a parent and a Parents’ Association volunteer. “This School is all about the community and how we look after one another at every level. You drive up in the morning and friendly faces greet you by name and take your ‘pulse’— sensing if you are having a good day or bad, or if you need a hug or need some time alone. It’s an ecosystem. We all grow and thrive together. That’s very special— to be really known as who you are.”

Looking back, she sees many things that are fundamentally the same as her years at North Shore. “As a child, you don’t spend a lot of time thinking about the School’s motto, ‘Live and Serve.’ This was before ‘service’ was chic. We had ‘Work Day’ when the entire school pitched in to rake leaves and beautify the campus.

Traditions in many classrooms may be different, but they still represent a culminating experience that the class shares at the end of the year to celebrate what they have learned and how they have grown.”

Purple Wave: Jessica Montgomery, Lara Port, Ben Port and Brian Montgomery

Purple Wave: Firouz Niazi ’17, Sarah Lumberg ’17 and Julia Kolbe ’17

The Purple Wave 2017 “The Purple Wave” auction and party hosted by the Benefit Board was held on February 25. This year’s theme, Experience NSCDS, brought the North Shore community—parents, faculty, staff, alumni and friends—together for an evening of camaraderie to raise funds for the School. Over $150,000 was raised to directly support students and teachers through curricular initiatives in the School’s experiential-education program and professional-development opportunities.

The event was held on campus in the Arts Center, transformed into a modern lounge, and in the Auditorium. Guests were greeted by music performed by North Shore’s Upper School Ensemble and treated to Handcut Foods’ delicious offerings of hors d’oeuvres, flatbreads, carved meats, salads and desserts including chocolate ganache tartlets, lemon meringue cookies and lavender madeleines.

Live and silent Auction items featured unique experiences including a golfer’s paradise in Scotland; a Cubs clubhouse, photography or scoreboard experience; luxury vacations and a homemade Italian feast with Head of School Tom Flemma and his wife, Diana.

Other popular items included themed social parties and the class and team photos. Guests could also participate in the “split the pot” raffle, wine grab or Heads or Tails game. Returning this year was the Lower School Mystery Undernighter, awarded to the 4th graders through a competitive bidding process. As part of a North Shore tradition, members of the senior class assisted with acting out the auction items on stage in the Auditorium.

The 2017 Emotional Appeal in support of experiential opportunities in all divisions garnered $56,000 in donations, exceeding expectations. This effort was brought to life by faculty who set up displays and demonstrated 3D-printing, genetic testing, aquaponics and environmental education for the guests throughout the evening.

Since 1981, the Benefit Board, formerly the Women’s Board, has raised more than $5 million through their annual events to support areas of the School not covered by the annual operating budget. The North Shore community greatly appreciates the Benefit Board members (below) and the Benefit Board supporters (opposite page) for their continued commitment to students and faculty.

Faculty and Lower School chorus at Franke Fund Morning Ex

Franke Family Fund 2016-17 “Telling Our Stories: Courage, Understanding, Hope and Change” was The Franke Family Fund program theme for 2016-17 focused on the School’s commitment to equity, inclusion and diversity.

The goal for the year was to build on last year’s Upstanders theme by asking, “What is a story and where do they live?”

Stories surround our community on and off campus and this year’s Franke Fund was a way for all students, faculty and staff to tell them. During Morning Ex presentations on January 4 and March 1, students previewed their work for the schoolwide Fund exhibit. On February 8 and April 19, students across all divisions explored different parts of the collaborative exhibit with their buddies, and talked about the stories and messages they discovered. The Art Department exhibit featured student work expanding beyond traditional art.

The JK-12 Diversity Council put together ideas on how students could more deeply experience storytelling around campus. The most natural way was for buddies to spend time together sharing and talking about their stories with each other. Lower Schoolers were in the Upper School reading 4th and 7th graders’ “Where I’m From” poems. The Hall Library held an audio-visual gallery. The Lower School bulletin boards hosted projects made by Middle School students. Then everyone congregated in the Atrium for the interactive Spanish tree and various displays of artwork.

Some groups of buddies set out on scavenger hunts, looking for the most colorful item or representations of each element of the theme: courage, understanding, hope and change. Others used the time together

42

to write, tell, draw and take pictures to document their reactions and what they shared with their buddies. The exhibit collaboratively helped students find stories throughout the School’s curriculum and Buddy connections.

This was the eighth year for The Franke Family Fund program, which annually encourages faculty to develop and implement creative and unique ideas to enhance the students’ experiences across all divisions.

Shakespeare Fest 2017 From the Royal Shakespeare Theater in London to Stratford-On-Avon and now in Winnetka at North Shore, Middle School English teacher Susan Schinleber brings a love for theater, literature and Shakespeare to NSCDS through her annual 8th Grade Shakespeare Fest.

This was the Fest’s fourth and biggest production yet. Susan values memorization as an important part of young learning, which is one of the goals of Shakespeare Fest. She distributes soliloquies and monologues from the works of Shakespeare to her students, letting them choose their favorites. They spend time learning their lines and getting into character with costumes and props to perform in front of the Middle School and faculty judges.

This year, the Fest was turned into a day-long, schoolwide effort.

Brendan McDermott, North Shore’s chef from Handcut Foods, provided the Shakespearean menu of roast chicken and potatoes. Music Teacher Patrick Reardon, Middle School Humanities Teacher Elizabeth Kindig and Theatre Teacher Julia Macholl set the scene with music.

Middle School Art Teacher Keith Sklar

and Middle School Science Teacher Duncan Olsen helped with the set design.

Fashion and art segments were added to the awards ceremony as well as faculty recognition.

In the overall performance, Hal Phillips ’21 took first place by mastering the difficult role of Nick Bottom coming out from under a spell in A Midsummer Night’s Dream, incorporating comedic timing and a whimsical portrayal. Lola Adebiyi ’21 came in second for Lady Macbeth’s speech from Macbeth, which she performed with passion, boldness, imagination and creativity. In third place was Ella Ristic ’21, who did an insightful, intelligent and forthright interpretation of Helena from A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Conor Fryer ’21, Ellie Winkler ’21, Noah Mackenzie ’21, Maeve Devereux ’21, Ash Stoll ’21 and SJ Gray ’21 were awarded honorable mentions for their adaptations.

In the new fashion segment, Soren Koh ’23, Ash and Hal were recognized for their clever costumes. Faculty honors went to Elizabeth Kindig, Middle School Learning Specialist Christine Ritchey and Middle School Humanities Teacher Sarah Walsh.

The 8th graders also were invited to visit Northwestern University by Linda Gates, the Head of Voice in the Department of Theatre. Linda and her class gave the students a lesson in how to perform Shakespeare—something Susan feels is central to the whole Fest. It comes from Susan’s love and connection to the language in Shakespeare, and she wants to share that passion with her students.

“Shakespeare is meant to be acted, spoken and felt, not read and studied,” she said.

“Otherwise, they won’t understand it.” She also hopes to open the Fest up to parent participation in years to come.

2017 Harold Hines Visiting Fellows: Congressman John Lewis and Andrew Aydin This year, North Shore Country Day School welcomed civil rights activist and Georgia Congressman John Lewis, and Andrew Aydin, co-author of the awardwinning graphic novel series March as its Harold H. Hines Visiting Fellows. The guests addressed students, faculty, staff, parents and alumni, and later spent time with the Lower, Middle and Upper School divisions. In preparation for their visit, the entire School community read the first volume of March.

John is the U.S. Representative for Georgia’s 5th district and in the 1960s was a prominent leader in the Civil Rights Movement. Since he was a child, he knew he wanted to preach. He would even preach to his family’s chickens (prevalent characters in the book), which led to enrolling in seminary. He challenged illegal segregation at bus stations across the South and became the chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. John was the youngest featured speaker at the historic 1963 March on Washington and told NSCDS students that it was never too early to start making change, no matter their ages.

John was a leader in the historic “Bloody Sunday” March in Selma, AL, where police brutality spurred national outrage and hastened passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. He had brought an overnight bag with him, expecting to be arrested, but was met with physical attacks by Alabama state troopers. “By giving a little blood on that bridge, I helped change America,” he said. “When I was arrested, I felt free. I felt like I had

44

crossed over,” Lewis said. “Find a way to get in the way,” he told the audience.

Despite being physically beaten and arrested more than 40 times, John Lewis has remained a devoted advocate of nonviolence. His legacy includes voter registration activism, service on the Atlanta City Council and over 25 years in Congress.

He was awarded the Medal of Freedom

by President Barack Obama in 2011 and was the first recipient of the John F. Kennedy “Profile in Courage” Lifetime Achievement Award.

He created March with Andrew Aydin and Nate Powell as a way for young readers to learn history and get involved. March is now a three-book series, a No. 1 New York Times Bestseller and has received the Robert F. Kennedy Book Award and the Coretta Scott King Book Award.

“My hope is that everyone reads this, and I would love to see the day that it is required reading in every school,” said Andrew, digital director and policy advisor to Congressman Lewis. Together they spoke to Upper and Middle School students, faculty and staff and parents in the Auditorium. Afterward, they spent time with all of the divisions, meeting Upper and Middle School students with hard-hitting questions and Lower School students, who presented them with artwork and songs.

“I saw those signs that said ‘white men, white women, colored men, colored women, white boys, colored boys, white girls and colored girls,’” John recounted to the NSCDS audience as he began his remarks. But he ended with another message. “Those signs are gone and they will not return. You will only see them in a

book, museum or video. Have hope. Be kind, be good and never, ever hate.”

In 1986, the Harold Hines Visiting Fellowship was established in memory of longtime member of the Board of Trustees, Harold H. Hines Jr. Harold Hines provided exceptional leadership to North Shore as a trustee, having chaired numerous Board committees, including the Long Range Planning Committee and the 50th Anniversary Endowment Fund Campaign, as well as serving as Board Chair from 1971-1973. In addition, his three children graduated from North Shore as “Lifers” and his wife, Mary Pick Hines ’49, is a distinguished alumna of the School and has served the School at the highest level for many years as a member of the Alumni Board, Benefit Board and Board of Trustees.

The Fellowship has brought distinguished individuals to our campus who have exemplified the School motto “Live and Serve.” There’s a special emphasis on the ethical consideration of societal issues, giving students the opportunity to define their responsibility to society.

Past Harold Hines Visiting Fellows have included former president of Yale University and Commissioner of Major League Baseball, the late A. Bartlett Giamatti, Dr. Jane Goodall, Chinese dissident Harry Wu, founder and president of Habitat for Humanity Millard Fuller, award-winning poet, essayist, fiction writer, activist and professor Marjorie Agosin and, most recently, founder and executive director of the Equal Justice Initiative Bryan Stevenson.

events Grandparents’ Day On May 5, North Shore welcomed nearly 200 grandparents to campus as part of the School’s annual Grandparents’ Day. The program began with a warm welcome and school update from Head of School Tom Flemma. Guests then visited classrooms and saw parts of campus as they walked with their grandchildren to the Auditorium for a musical review.

Grandparents traveled from 17 different U.S. states and as far as Italy. Among the attendees were 15 parents of alumni, two alumni, two former faculty and four grandparents who each have four grandchildren who are current students. It was a wonderful event for students to share their learning experience with their grandparents.

Race Against Hate Every Father’s Day in Evanston, the Ricky Byrdsong Memorial Race Against Hate brings thousands of people to run and walk together against racial hatred and violence. Welcoming everyone, from leisurely walkers to competitive 10K runners, the Race Against Hate has been a cherished event of the Evanston community for more than 15 years. And this year, it was especially memorable for North Shore alum Tommy McHugh ’17, who won the 10K race.

Michelle Kavoosi, a new North Shore parent, took on the role of organizing the NSCDS team. More than 85 members of the School community showed up on race day to support each other and reach the Bronze Sponsorship goal of raising $500 for racial justice and violence prevention. Families, friends, faculty and staff of the School have been participating in the Race for 10 years, and North Shore has been a proud Race sponsor for more than half of that time.

The local event gives the School’s families, new and old, an opportunity to participate within the community.

The Race Against Hate is a Parents’ Association Multicultural Affairs Committee tradition. The NSCDS team arrived early in the morning to set up the signature purple tent, snacks, a hydration station and purple bandanas to hand out for School runners. There were team members in every event, from the youth mile to the 10K run. Parents Lisa

46

Altenbernd and Steve Hagerty hosted a post-race brunch, serving up frittatas and fruit for NSCDS Race participants.

The funds raised by the Race support YWCA racial justice and violence-prevention programs while honoring the legacy of Ricky Byrdsong, former Northwestern University men’s basketball coach who was killed in 1999 by a white supremacist. The programs help children and teenagers in local schools and youth organizations to establish healthy, violence-free relationships and join in constructive conversation about racial justice.

Former Faculty and Staff Luncheon North Shore former faculty and staff returned to campus for the annual luncheon in their honor. It was an opportunity to visit with colleagues and current faculty as well as meet and hear from new Head of School Tom Flemma about the School today. Those who attended included: Larry Aggens, Mar Alkemade, Jay and Patti Bach, Bob Beerheide, Emily Denesha, Tom Doar, Sharon Dole, Diane Dorn, Susan Eichner, Beth Foster, Jim and Nancy Emrich Freeman, Tana Hitch, Leonie O'Donohoe, Liz Price Hunt ’42, Caroline (Ingram) McCarty, George and Maxine Mitchell, Linda Semel, Helen Turley and Pam Whalley.

FORE! 18th Annual Golf Outing More than 45 golfers enjoyed a pictureperfect day and had a wonderful time on the links at the 18th Annual Golf Outing at the Highland Park Golf Club. The winning foursome was Art Jessen ’70, Chris Jessen ’00, Brian Jessen ’02 and Tommy Brown. A fun dinner and lively raffle followed the game with many happy prize winners.

Class of 2017 Selects Class Reps The Class of 2017 enjoyed a Welcome Alumni Breakfast on April 25 and received their North Shore class mug.

Firouz Niazi ’17 and Sarah Lumberg ’17 were selected to serve as class representatives. They explained to their classmates how, as class reps, it was their responsibility to keep in touch with everyone after graduation about events, activities, opportunities and supporting NSCDS’ Annual Giving.

PA Faculty/Staff Luncheon One of the most anticipated events for faculty and staff at the end of the school year is the Parents’ Association (PA) appreciation luncheon. This year’s feast dazzled teachers and administrators by transforming the Arts Center lower level and Cafeteria into a gourmet dining destination.

From the creative table decorations to the bountiful and diverse selection of dishes, no detail was overlooked. The lunch was followed by Head of School Tom Flemma thanking PA volunteers for all they do for the School and acknowledging those faculty and staff who are departing. In turn, 2016-17 PA President Susan Former introduced the 2017-18 PA leaders, President Charlene Kittredge and Vice President Susanna Ver Eecke, who announced that School parents donated nearly $70,000 to provide end-of-year appreciation gifts to faculty and staff. The generosity and kindness was genuinely appreciated by all.

The first chapter book I recall reading was Little Town on the Prairie by Laura Ingalls Wilder. I was immediately hooked and quickly devoured the rest of the “Little House” books. Soon I was asking for sunbonnets like Laura’s; later, my 3rd grade research paper explored her family’s travels and an undergraduate history paper analyzed her books. I largely credit Wilder with both my love of reading and of history.

Pioneer Girl is an autobiography that Wilder wrote for adult audiences prior to writing her children’s books. When she was unable to sell the manuscript, with the help of her daughter she reframed the story for children, and this version hadn’t previously been published. Reading Pioneer Girl brought me back to those moments of reading Wilder’s books for the first time, but also sophisticatedly entertained and challenged me as an adult reader and as a student of United States history.

The first-person narrative includes some deeply dark moments, for both the Ingalls family and the country, that were glossed over or absent from the children’s books. In addition, through annotations and editors’ notes, primary sources are used to illuminate and factcheck Wilder’s original document.

Even for Ingalls family experts, Pioneer Girl offers new and fascinating insight.

So rarely are we able to reenter the impactful moments of our childhoods.

Pioneer Girl offered me one of those truly special opportunities.

In 2015, Harvard professor Matthew Desmond was awarded the prestigious MacArthur “Genius” grant. His subsequent book Evicted proves the recognition was well deserved. In this intense and often heart-wrenching book, Desmond follows six families in Milwaukee, WI and their struggle to find secure housing amid low-income jobs, stubborn landlords, bad credit, an unforgiving legal system and the ever-present threat of eviction. This well-researched and creative book is an eye-opening investigation of life in the inner-city, where evictions are increasingly routine and so is the emotional, social and physical distress it causes thousands of Americans who can’t find a safe and stable place to call home.

The reader should not be alarmed by the length of this biography; it reads like an engrossing novel. I was pulled in immediately by the strength of the opening chapter, with its unforgettable imagery of small children running from corner to corner of a frame house, fighting to hold it down against the storm winds threatening from the outside.

John Lewis was not always a national figure. The story of how he went from being an unknown boy in rural Alabama to being Congressman John Lewis of Washington D.C. unfolds in incremental steps that take you through training for the lunch counter sit-ins, going to jail with only a toothbrush and your prayers, and the righteousness of your cause for company.

This is truly the inside story of the Civil Rights Movement of the ’50s and ’60s with John Lewis as our guide to all the major players and events of those tumultuous days.

I love camp because my role is all about the staff development. We have some really incredible people who have worked here and there is no greater pleasure than seeing the staff evolve as people. Camp allows me to always be the teacher.

I shifted to director of operations in 2006. My operational role is important work and is a job of service. When I’m doing a project, those are thrilling and it stretches me as a life-long learner. And the operations part helps the School to run smoothly, serving the teaching and learning of students.

Q . Where did you grow up? Did you spend a lot of time outdoors as a child?

Q. What different roles have you had here?

Do you have a favorite?

A. I am a military kid and grew up

A. I have been a humanities and history

in Fayetteville, NC, and went to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Surprisingly, I never went to camp but if my three brothers and two sisters and I weren’t playing outside, I was reading. I think growing up in our house was a lot like camp—lots to do.

When I was 16, my dad retired from the Air Force and went to work as a civilian at the youth center on base. He did what he loved and suggested I work at their summer camp. I was hired as a junior counselor at the age of 17. For more than half my life, I have spent every summer involved with camp programs.

teacher, Middle and Upper School student council advisor, Upper School activities director, and coach of field hockey, tennis, Middle and Upper School basketball, soccer and the first North Shore track team.

My summer programs responsibility was added in 1994. At the time, I was still working at Camp Thunderbird in the summer but this was an opportunity to use what I had learned at Thunderbird to shape the NSCDS summer programs.

Quality camp programming is important, but the people are the most important part of what we do in the summer and how we fulfill our mission and goals each summer. I have been lucky to hire great young people and be able to work with them so they can be great at their summer roles. Our staff development program really is something I enjoy doing as it is fulfilling to watch young people work with children.

Our camp programming has developed over the years. When I first started I knew we should adopt the American Camp Association standards and safety protocols in order to run the highest quality programs possible.

Our boating and swimming programs are distinct for the day camp, which is in its 68th summer. In my second year, we added the Language Immersion Program (1995) which still features Spanish and Mandarin Chinese offerings for children ages 4-10. In 1998, we began the Expedition Camp that has a focus on

Q . How did your career lead you to NSCDS? A. I graduated from college in December 1986 and was hired at Wayne Country Day, a small private school in Goldsboro, NC. For two-and-a-half years, I worked there teaching history, coaching all three sports seasons and advising student council.

Then, enrollment dropped and they had to reduce staff. Before leaving to work at Camp Thunderbird, a sleep-away camp in South Carolina, I came to NSCDS for an interview because I liked the small town of Winnetka and they had a mentoring program that paired young teachers with master teachers. Faculty cared about faculty and collaborating on interdisciplinary teaching methods, and I knew I would learn a lot about teaching and I could continue coaching. That’s why I ultimately chose North Shore.

Q. Looking ahead to the School’s Centennial in 2019-2020, how will you be preparing for the event/celebration?

A. On two levels. We have opportunities

with the facilities and the stories they tell over time. Each of the buildings tells a different story—in time and place. We want to tell and honor that story.

The second part is the looking ahead and unfolding the campus master plan.

Our east campus and athletic facilities will be our focus. The excitement will be how we can continue to transform the campus for the next century. The Mac Gym is almost 50 years old now, and we have a very full school that requires us to conduct a space audit to utilize our spaces in the best possible way. That’s a nice problem to have. Master planning can tie a community together and build a legacy.

Q. Outside of work, what are your passions and interests?

A. I, obviously, love being outdoors and

traveling to destinations for fly fishing and hiking such as in Colorado, Washington and Montana. I’d have to call Scotland my adopted country as I travel there a few times a year. And I like to read—for fun and pleasure.

Q. Any last thoughts you’d like to share?

A. It’s interesting, if you look at what I

do it’s an ebb and flow to connect people.

I haven’t done the same things since I’ve been here, it’s been fun to connect educators to operations. I’m unique with an education background, and auxiliary revenue and organizations talent to translate from one group of teachers to a construction group. It’s fun connecting everyone for a common purpose—the kids.

UPPER SCHOOL LEARNING SPECIALIST

What will North Shore remember most about Frank Dachille?

Will it be his Long-Island-accented signature sayings?

Current and former students will recognize them: “In what universe...?!?!” “Put it in the magic bin.” [Shakes head and puts it in his hands.]

Will it be a robust Model United Nations program, one that Frank created and shaped? The program has sent over 300 students to over 160 conferences, including in Ireland and Russia. On these trips, students start to understand how Mr. Dachille enjoys the real-world challenge of MUN, and that he loves to introduce them to places he’s been and explore new ones with them. Students also start to realize how much coffee he actually drinks. (No, really.)

Will we remember the thousands of hours he put in, during, before and after school? He spent years coaching, mentoring students on fields and in gyms. And his 9th grade history course was a rite of passage; his strict style and gruffness were, frankly, terrifying to many students. But in time, they would come to realize that what he taught went beyond World History; that respecting others, punctuality and self-advocacy were essential skills; and that no matter how grouchy he seemed, with or without coffee, he was in their corner and wanted them to succeed.

Yes, we will remember all these things, but more importantly, we’ll remember that Frank Dachille was all in, all the time.

At his core.

It’s difficult for me to imagine North Shore without Barbara Sherman. During her 19 years here, Barb has been a respected colleague, an ardent student advocate, a wise mentor and a valuable community member. Barb was instrumental in refining the role of the learning specialist, working closely with teachers and parents to enhance student support.

Building strong relationships with her students lies at the heart of Barb’s work, and this connection facilitated her work helping students develop skills and strategies to further their academic and social growth.

Barb was passionate about contributing to the North Shore community. In addition to her role as a learning specialist, she also was as an advisor, club leader, grade team leader, dean and committee member. She is an inveterate lifelong learner whose inquisitive mind led her to complete her doctorate in Curriculum and Social Inquiry in 2014, and travel to the Yaqui reservation in 2015 to experience their culture and understand their history.

True to her nature, Barb will continue to share her knowledge, expertise and passion for learning in her new practice. Although she will be greatly missed at North Shore, the positive impact Barb had on students and colleagues will be treasured.

Art Jessen ’70 WEBMASTER AND PHOTOGRAPHER

Art Jessen has made his mark at North Shore daily, in whatever role he has played—student, alum, parent of two students, parent of alumni, former trustee, webmaster and photographer. Highly professional, extremely invested, hardworking are just a few of his many traits.

In his role as webmaster, Art led the way. If there was a question, people turned to Art. If something needed to be done right, Art was the person, and if extra time, investigation or trouble-shooting needed to be done, Art did it.

Art is Art—spirited, connected to students and colleagues, present, supportive, encouraging, fun and caring. As the School photographer, he was also North Shore students’ No. 1 fan. A North Shore student game, play or presentation wasn’t really an event unless Mr. Jessen was there. Somehow, despite the hundreds and hundreds of hours Art spent each year photographing students and their events, everyone knew he was there because he wanted to be there, that he was enjoying it and that North Shore students mattered, really mattered, to him. Beyond his physical presence, it was his spirit that meant so much, his cheering, his enthusiasm and his humor.

Trying to detail his truly remarkable impact on North Shore is virtually impossible. As I thought about it, I kept coming back to the traditional hymn that we all know so well, “How Great Thou Art.”

As Lane Young departs his role as North Shore’s Director of Library and Educational Technology and concludes a 10-year tenure at the School, it would be easy to focus solely on the impact that he made inside the lines of his job description.

After all, he and his team envisioned and oversaw a significant transition in the ways North Shore faculty integrate technology into the JK-12 classrooms, modernized the library collection and its organizational system, launched and supported a 1:1 platform in our Middle and Upper Schools, developed the first Lower School technology curriculum, and reintroduced and expanded computer science classes to the Middle and Upper School.

I’m equally struck, however, by Lane’s work that falls in part or completely outside of his “role.” He has been a Science Olympiad coach and organizer, Lower School schedule guru, interviewer of faculty/staff candidates, committee and working group member, and more. He has embodied Live and Serve in his own work to better the community in which he lived and the institutions that make it vital.

Finally, any number of students—for many starting as early as their first days in our Lower School—have seen Lane as their person, the faculty member they seek when they need advice on solving a problem or when they have something to celebrate. In my time at North Shore, few have had the breadth and depth of impact on the School as Lane, and we’ve been very lucky to have him as a member of our community.

“We made a ‘good bet’ in choosing North Shore.

All three of our children lead fulfilling lives, which still include lasting relationships with their fellow students from their North Shore years.” howa r d je s sen

North Shore—A “Good Bet” for the Jessen Family Howard Jessen has served North Shore Country Day School in many capacities, first joining the School community in the 1960s when he and his wife Susie enrolled their three children in North Shore Country Day: Art ’70, Ned ’73 and Gwen ’76. Their legacy continued when grandchildren Chris ’00 and Brian ’02 became Raiders.

“I am a believer in education. For all sorts of reasons. There is a great need for quality education in our country.

My values reflect a real bias to support education.” Howard supports his family’s educational institutions including his own: He is a graduate of California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and holds graduate degrees from the University of Southern California and the University of Chicago. Susie graduated from University of California Berkeley and his children’s alma maters include Lake Forest College, Yale and Duke. North Shore Country Day is the school that binds the family together, including his two daughters-in-law Diane Flint Jessen ’70 and Lynn Lillard Jessen ’74.

Why North Shore?

“Its uniqueness. It offers a community fostering constructive contact between students and faculty, staff and administration…a characteristic that is often absent in many larger schools.

“We made a ‘good bet’ in choosing North Shore. All three of our children lead fulfilling lives, which still include lasting relationships with their fellow students from their North Shore years.” He quickly rattled off names of each of his children’s NSCDS friends with a smile, many of whom he counts as his own friends. He and Susie have taken an interest in their children’s friends that has produced much appreciated reciprocal rewards.

“Our connection with NSCDS is organic, a natural growth that continues to be nourished by our ongoing associations with the School. North Shore has been a major focus in our lives. No institution is more significant than North Shore for our family as a whole.”

Howard and Susie served respectively on the Board of Trustees and Foundation Board, Women’s Board (now known as the Benefit Board) and Parents’ Association.

Howard continues his active involvement with students and teachers through

coaching in the Middle School Science Olympiad program for the last 15 years.

He finds it incredibly fulfilling and is drawn to it for its “innovation, creativity and research challenges.”

But it’s the connection with the students he values the most, and his continued relationship with them after Middle School.

Howard has formed rewarding math, athletics and music alliances at the School and is a fan of the School’s Francophile culture.

In 2015, Howard established The Jessen Family Scholarship Fund to provide scholarship support for two well-rounded North Shore students who demonstrate interest in academics, arts, athletics and service, and whose families demonstrate financial need. This assures the Jessen name will endure as a part of North Shore Country Day School’s future.

8th Grade Service Day On May 16, the 8th graders and their buddies dedicated their service day to sustainability on the North Shore campus, focusing on water management. Equipped with muddy gym shoes, gloves, shovels, a pair of iPod speakers and a warm sunny day, the students split into groups to conquer each component of the project.

To control erosion, they built a “rainwash” area for the Upper School parking lot. Students arranged stones and river rocks in a trenched area to control the drainage. Another group dug up hostas, daffodils and grasses, split them into smaller plants and replanted them on a sloped bed to minimize the loss of topsoil during rains.

They added new garden soil to the Lower School garden planters, then filled up their wheelbarrows and tilled and weeded every planter on campus. Finally, the group planted brand new seedlings in the garden beds.

Malala Fund In humanities class, Danielle Savin ’23 came across an article about girls being tortured during their daily walk to school.

She showed it to her teacher, Sarah Walsh, who replied with a push of encouragement.

“So what are you going to do about it?”

On April 18 and 19, Danielle, Junnah Quraishi ’23, Ellia Yarandi ’23, Alexandra Gascoigne ’23, Ella Capozzi ’23, Nancy Stoll ’23 and Sydney Kalainov ’23 raised money for the Malala Fund, an organization dedicated to the education of girls all over the world. The group held a bake sale and two raffles—one for a copy of I Am Malala by Malala Yousafzai and one for a DVD of the documentary, He Named Me Malala. All proceeds went toward helping girls get an education globally.

“The most rewarding part of this was knowing we helped feed a girl every meal and send her to school for a year and a half,” Danielle said. The North Shore

students not only want to help girls around the world get an education, but they hope their efforts will help young girls everywhere realize their potential. “We were also hoping that most, if not all, girls could continue to become doctors, scientists, dentists and many other job positions,” said Ellia.

“I am very passionate about women’s rights. We still have a long way to go, but I am aware many countries have not come as far as we have,” said Junnah. “There are so many girls with amazing potential whose society won’t let them get the education they deserve. Even if we only raised enough money to help one girl, I would still be glad that the one girl we helped would get the education she deserves.”

9th Grade Service Learning As part of a service-learning program developed by Upper School Social Studies teacher Frank Dachille, students in 9th grade world history classes spent several months working on a project entitled, “Global Problems, Solutions and Action.”

In the first phase of the project, each student explored a variety of global issues.

The students then filled in a “Dream Sheet” of problems they would be most interested in solving. The Dream Sheets were used to assign the students a specific focus. Topics included human rights, public health, poverty and hunger, the environment, education and weapons of destruction.

Phase two was the curricular portion of the project, where students wrote a research paper about their topic. And in the final phase, learning was transformed into action. Each group developed a plan to help alleviate the problem on which they were focusing, then they presented their work to the entire North Shore community. To raise money for their causes, members of the Class of 2020 walked approximately seven miles in the “Walk for Compassion,” held on April 20.

Students Joy Zhou ’20, Isabel Dart ’20, Elinor Keehn ’20 and Kelley Deveny ’20 researched gender inequality in education.

They discovered the issue is most common in the regions of South Asia and

56

sub-Saharan Africa—places where there are strong cultural biases against women.

In those areas, as well as many others, women are meant to tend to the home and not pursue a successful career. Because of this, families often decide to keep their daughters at home and set them up for marriage, so they need to rely on a husband for financial support.

The NSCDS students realized that without an education, girls have no choice but to marry and spend their lives working in the home, so they decided that educating girls was the cause they wanted to work for. They argued that with a complete education, a woman has the skills to pursue a successful career, which benefits the economy of her country. The rate of child marriages would decrease greatly as well because girls would be able to support themselves instead of depending on a husband.

“Education is one of the most important aspects of my daily life,” Kelley wrote in her reflection at the conclusion of the project. “In researching the gender disparity in education around the world, I have realized how fortunate I am to receive the excellent education provided by the faculty and community at North Shore Country Day. I can not imagine my life without going to school, and I know the magnitude of the effects that extensive

knowledge can have on a person’s life. In many places where child slavery, child pregnancy and diseases such as HIV/AIDS are more prevalent than the community I live in, education can be the decisive factor between life and death.”

The group chose to raise money for an organization called Educate Girls that tackles the problem in India. Educate Girls works to improve the overall quality of education in schools by empowering community members to make a difference, and has enrolled over 120,000 girls so far.

Every $77 the students raised put one girl in a school, and every $20 provided one “Creative Learning and Teaching Kit” for a classroom.

The entire class raised a total of more than $3,000 that was divided among the nonprofits each group researched.

Caroline Segal ’20 researched genocide.

“Because I have a personal connection to the Holocaust, I feel I have a moral obligation to aid those in the world who cannot aid themselves,” she wrote. “It is crucial for people who are uninformed about genocide to learn about the effects so more people do not continue to get tortured and killed. Despite genocide being a large issue to face, by unifying with millions of other activists around the world we can achieve our goal of ending this global problem.”

Deforestation Upper School students Brinton Roberts ’20, Alex Winslow ’20 and Imaad Vohra ’20 were inspired to plant trees on North Shore’s campus after learning about deforestation in history class.

Through research, they discovered the effects it has on the environment and the homes of millions of plant and animal species. They wanted to go beyond fundraising for a service-learning project and further help the cause by doing something to physically fight deforestation.

“We knew that four trees would not make a large impact on deforestation, but that was not our goal,” said Alex.

“Our goal is to spread awareness about the issue so other people can step in and together we can make a difference.”

Alex says the most rewarding part of the project was planting the last tree and actually seeing the finished product. “This moment marked not only the planting all of the trees, but it also the completion of all the hard work we put into our service learning,” he says.

Camp Kesem

Thanksgiving in April

Upper School students Grace Bartell ’20 and Henry Probst ’19 have been working with the Northwestern Board of Camp Kesem since last fall. Camp Kesem is a nonprofit organization that provides free summer camp for kids who have lost parents to cancer. There are currently more than 75 college chapters, and NSCDS will be the first high-school chapter.

“At Camp Kesem, kids get a chance to meet other people who can relate to the difficult situations they have had to face, creating bonds they wouldn’t otherwise be able to,” Henry says. “It is somewhat of an escape from the difficulties of the children’s lives at home where the kids can just enjoy being outside in beautiful weather and have fun.”

The club at NSCDS will fundraise for Camp Kesem and plans to create a board that will get involved with the Northwestern students. “Although we are planning to start small, such as a water-bottle drive for campers, we are hoping within a few years we will be able to create an event in support of Camp Kesem that is the same size as Dunk Alzheimer’s,” Henry says.

The Northfield Food Pantry receives many donations in the fall and winter around the holidays but their shelves are empty by spring and summer. To combat food scarcity, the Upper School Community Service Club established the Thanksgiving in April drive—a schoolwide effort that upholds the School’s “Live and Serve” motto.

“People might not know that food donations are needed right here in their neighborhood,” said Community Service Club Co-President Sophie Hiland ’18.

“We hold the drive for a local pantry and benefit an organization that is so close to North Shore to raise awareness for the prevalence of hunger all around us.”

For two weeks, NSCDS community members from all three divisions donated boxes of pasta, pancake mix and cereal, tins of coffee, jars of peanut butter, granola bars and other goods to the collection boxes on campus. In total, the club filled 11 cardboard boxes to send to the pantry. They also held a packing party for volunteers to come help organize and package all of the donated food together.

Two Weeks of Service Before they graduate, all seniors are required to choose a cause that inspires them and volunteer at least 60 hours with an organization that does work around that topic. This is just another opportunity for seniors to embody the School’s motto, “Live and Serve.” Before they set out for the hands-on work, students write extensive research papers to understand the issues their organizations face. This year’s 52 seniors volunteered at a total of 31 organizations, including the Alzheimer’s Association, the American Jewish Committee, Bernie’s Book Bank, an international medical missions organization and more. Following the two weeks of volunteering, students share their final reflections and give a presentation to their supervisors, parents and fellow classmates at an evening celebration.

perfor ming a rt s Take 10! Festival Take 10! is North Shore’s student-written, designed and directed 10-minute play festival. Students in the Upper School directing course spend about a month writing 10-minute plays based on personal experiences, observations, media events and pure creativity. They take on the roles of producer and director by auditioning their peers, creating a concept, blocking their actors and watching everything fall into place along the way.

The Upper School technical theatre students pair with the directors to design their sets, lights and sounds. The tech students work through the directors’ concepts to bring visions for the plays to life through building and painting set pieces, and designing lights to set the mood and tone of scenes.

Nine plays premiered on April 12 with about 60 students involved in the festival.

Middle School Performing Arts North Shore’s Middle School Performing Arts Spring Festival included dance routines, an instrumental ensemble and a production of the classic children’s novel Charlotte’s Web. All ages were welcomed to watch the Middle School acting class, dance class and technical theatre class put on performances and display their work. The Festival celebrated the process that each of these classes have journeyed through second semester, culminating in an evening celebrating the arts.

The acting and technical theatre classes presented Charlotte’s Web, based on the story by E.B. White and dramatized by Joseph Robinette. Determined to save Wilbur, Charlotte began her campaign with the “miracle” of her web in which she writes, “Some pig.” It’s the beginning of a victorious campaign that ultimately ends with the now-safe Wilbur doing what is most important to Charlotte. The students creatively used hand puppets to represent all of the animal characters.

The dance class presented student choreography pieces by Brenna ’22, Allie ’22 and Niabelle ’23. The dances ranged from tap to modern hip-hop.

Middle School instrumental ensemble members also presented musical transitions within the Festival, including Juliet Ainsley ’22 on the piano, and Stephanie Smith ’22 and Beverly Fishman ’23 performing a flute duet.

Girls Soccer After a great finish to the 2016 season, the girls varsity soccer team was excited for 2017. Led by six seniors, Kaylin Schiller, Olivia Kayser, Lauren Kaplinsky, Frannie Block, Grace Miller and Hannah Fortier, the team finished the season with an 11-5 record, marking the first time in program history that they had more than 10 wins in a season.

The season began with an impressive 4-1 win over Marian Central Catholic School, the team who beat them the prior year in the Sectional Tournament. After an initial wash-out against Lake Forest Academy, they met again and beat a strong LFA team, 3-2.

That same week, the team beat Willows Academy for the first time in program history. The girls finished the season second in the ISL, which is the highest placement in program history, and won the Regional Tournament for the third year in a row, scoring 15 goals in the 2 games. The season ended with a loss to Johnsburg in the Sectional Semi-Final game, with a score of 1-0. It was a fantastic season; the girls soccer program continues to get stronger each year, and they are already looking forward to 2018.

Spring All-Conference Athletes

Rebekah Kauffman, Lizzy Giffen and Mark McLennan

The Upper School spring track-and-field team had another strong season. The boys team placed 4th in the ISL Conference Meet and the girls team placed 3rd. Six athletes made the all-conference team: Brad O’Connor ’18 in the 800m; Katie Glew ’17 in 1600m and 3200m; Julia Kolbe ’17, Caroline Rice ’19, Meredith McCabe ’19 and Anna Roszak ’19 for the 4x100m relay. The team qualified nine athletes for the State Meet— Brad 800; Tommy McHugh ’17 1600m; Brad, Tommy, Will O’Connor ’18 and Andrew Conlon ’17 for the 4x800m relay; Katie in 1600m and 3200m; Julia, Caroline, Meredith and Julia Doyle ’18 for 4x400m relay. This was the first time an NSCDS team has qualified for the girls 4x400m relay. Katie became the 2nd girl to ever end her season on the podium at the State Meet with her 6th place finish at 1600m, which made her All-State.

Boys Tennis The NSCDS boys tennis team made a lot of progress this spring and the season was one of growth and of gaining experience.

The team consisted of three seniors, two juniors, eight sophomores and 12 freshmen, many of whom were in their early days of playing the sport. Despite this challenge, the Raiders finished 4th in the Independent School League and achieved 3rd place at the sectional tournament. The doubles team of Jack Pierre ’17 and sophomore Trace Hefner ’19 earned 4th at Sectionals and a State tournament bid for their effort.

Evan Fedin ’20 finished runner-up at sectionals and 3rd in the conference tournament at No. 1 singles, earning All-conference honorable mention and a spot in the state tournament.

Baseball It was another great baseball season.

The Raiders began playing games at the Cal Ripken Center in Myrtle Beach, SC, on the annual Spring Break trip. When the team returned to Winnetka, they suffered through the ups and downs of Chicago spring weather only winning one of their next seven games. One big win came against Taft High School—a team they have lost to the last few seasons. Of the six other early season losses, three were by one run. Over the final nine games of the season, the Raiders went 7-2 to end the regular season at .500 with and 8-8 record.

The team was 3-7 in the ISL. The Raiders were ultimately knocked out of their Regional in the first round but will return next year with much promise.

Conant Family Legacy The Conant Family is part of North Shore’s history and always will be, thanks to their commitment to the School.

Doris and Howard Conant were engaged and devoted grandparents.

In 2003, to honor their grandson Louis John Conant ’11 and the legacy he leaves with NSCDS, they contributed a transformational gift dedicating The Louis Conant Science Center.

In this space, students and teachers engage in science and much more— Shakespeare classes, growing plants from seeds in the greenhouse, creating identity projects and displays in art-exhibit areas, practicing for Science Olympiad competitions, sharing time cross-divisionally on Buddy Days, showcasing Interim and Senior Service Projects with faculty and families, welcoming randparents on Grandparents’ Day—and enjoying fun times laughing with fellow students between classes.

It is a vibrant, dynamic, energetic, inspiring place of learning, sharing and experiencing that embodies the true spirit of Louis Conant. North Shore is honored to remember Louis, his grandparents and family every day, through the daily use of this teaching-and-learning space.

The great differentiation of our school experience was everyone did not win a trophy.

“ I F E E L G R E AT N O S TA L G I A F O R A P L A C E T H AT B A K E D IN OUR GRIT AND HELPED S C U L P T O U R N AT U R E A N D E V E N T U A L LY O U R COLLEGE EXPERIENCES, C A R E E R S A N D FA M I L I E S .”

Just to be clear—I totally loved my experience at North Shore. I arrived in 3rd grade and enjoyed every minute till we graduated June 11, 1976. Many of my very closest friends, favorite moments and great experiences all happened during those incredible years.

I showed up in 1966 as a new 3rd grader. I had freshly arrived from Toronto, having attended a very strict, all-girls Church of England school—faintly reminiscent of Hogwarts, without the witchcraft and wizards. Please imagine how very much out of step I was with my new American classmates. I politely stood up when the teacher entered the room, said “yes ma’am” and “no ma’am” and I suppose I had a slight Canadian accent.

But the most amazing thing to me—

there were boys in the room! What a new and dynamic experience.

I have to admit, the deep and enduring value of my education at NSCDS began right there in Miss Harmon’s 3rd grade classroom. As much as we all loved going to Morning Ex, singing songs with Mr. Allison, shaking hands with then headmaster Mr. French and sticking our tongues out for Dr. Philipsborn—I totally loved diving into the big colorful SRA “Reading Laboratory Box.” For any who don’t recall, the SRA reading cards were considered “interactive and personalized learning.” They relied heavily on positive reinforcement and a high level of competitive tension. I was the perfect pigeon for this deal, clamoring to reach the exalted “purple level” in the first box. I believe this forged my lifelong appreciation for competition and competence. This was an intellectual reading race for success with my highly able classmates through 5th grade.

In 4th grade, we accelerated the race to include multiplication and division flash-card competition. This was particularly exciting when it was boys against the girls. But the end of Lower School and beginning of Middle School really elevated competitive recess. We played four square, volleyball, scramble and, best of all, bombardment.

High school was the perfect culmination of all this competitive play, intellectual challenge and for many of us, girl empowerment. North Shore turned us into a juggernaut of female athletes plus models of leadership. It offered us the opportunity to play four different sports a year and offered us the opportunity to run many things. We drove the Girls’ Athletic and Project Association. We protested and won the right to wear pants to school. We ran Secret Valentine Carnation campaigns (for profit) and individual projects like taking over the dishwashing in the cafeteria to raise money for an off-site senior prom.

Sue Trefny (Tref) arrived as our all-sports women’s coach in time for our high-school years. Although there were only 19 girls in our class and less than 100

girls in the Upper School, we proved to be formidable in everything from tennis to field hockey to, especially, basketball. Our crowning glory was beating New Trier in basketball our senior year (they had over 1,000 girls). We were able to win 33 consecutive varsity games and didn’t shy away from one more out-of-league challenge. After our last winning season, able to graduate undefeated, we challenged super team Regina (who had won over 50 consecutive games). Unfortunately, we went down in a blaze of local TV glory— damaged, but not broken.

My point in sharing all of this, is my respect for North Shore as a place that built our unified character to be highly competitive when it mattered, to be exceptional teammates with each other and to be confident enough to pick one’s self up quickly so you could rise to the next challenge. The great differentiation of our school experience was everyone did not win a trophy. We all got tested in Miss Ingram’s math class and on Lew Davis’ ski trips. We got challenged by Madame Valvo in homeroom, Mr. Shipley in shop and, most certainly, we got bumped all over the place by Tref and Mac. We all went to the farm and got challenged by then Headmaster Doug MacDonald. But we all came out tougher and better, and certainly all much tighter friends than if we all had gotten a blue ribbon.

So I feel great nostalgia for a place that baked in our grit and helped sculpt our nature and eventually our college experiences, careers and families. I love seeing a warm face from that time on LinkedIn or a long familiar name on my phone. We all know that is a priority message regardless of where we are or what time it is. Unfortunately, these days, it has too often turned from sharing our engagements, promotions and babies to aging parents and sick friends. Regardless, we still stick together and move on stronger through our 50-odd-year love affair with this place and binding friendships held fast like Buckminster Fuller’s geodesic dome at our Geodyssey Art Festival in May 1972.
