The Start of a New Beginning Graduates Moving To Next Phase In Life

by Harrison Premen It is that time of year again, when seniors finally step out of their comfort zones and take control of their own lives. However, this drastic change does not solely affect the seniors and their families, but the teachers and underclassmen they leave behind.

The soon to be high school graduates have mixed feelings about leaving Kettle Run and starting a new chapter in their lives. While some seniors, such as Nathan Moravitz, can simply say that they are relieved that they are finished. Others have more blended feelings.

Senior Shea Rowell describes her feelings as ‘bittersweet’, “I am really looking forward to new classes, a new environment, and taking steps that will lead to something (who knows what) in the future.

However, I will definitely miss my friends and teachers, and being part of the music program at KR.” She also states how she cannot wait for the independent lifestyle that a college student experiences.

Senior Daniel J O’Hara II thinks that it is the perfect time to move on. “All of the luster of the football season, homecoming, and everything associated with the start of the school year is gone.” When asked about his thoughts on college, he said, “The freedom to pursue an education in a career field is one of the aspects of college I most anticipate, as well as utilizing the knowledge gained through hardlearned lessons to fulfill my ambitions for success.”

“Very indecisive,” was senior Preston Jordan Pennington’s response on how he felt about graduating. “I’ve lived in a military family all my life and I’m used to seeing people come and go. However, it’s odd for me to consider that most of the people I’ve been around with the past three years will be leaving me never to be seen again, instead of it being vice versa.” However, on a brighter note, Preston, “…had a wonderful lot of people to coach and advise me to where I consider it a lost opportunity and I’m certain that I’ll be thanking myself later. At the same time, I’m generally excited to take the helm of adulthood and garner experience that will (hopefully) positively affect the rest of my life.”

It will not only be seniors who will have to go through change.

The 2014-2015 junior class will soon be starting their final year in high school. Many rising seniors, such as myself, have high expectations for our final year at Kettle Run and are excited to finally enjoy the privileges seniors get.

Teachers are also affected by graduation season. While they are proud to see their former pupils succeed, they are sad to see them go and are wonder how the graduates will transition to post-high school life.

I will personally miss all my senior friends and it will be sad to see them off. However, I am very excited to become a senior and get one step closer to college.

Action and Leisure In And

by Danica Low Summer is here! It brings with it time to unwind and play.

For young and old there are endless opportunities for recreation, leisure, learning and fun. Cheers to young families for a much need break from the over-scheduling madness that the school year brings! And salute to all, for the enjoyment of a new season, change in weather, and opportunities to change things up…for a couple of months at least before “business as usual” resumes in the fall. Below are a few finds for recreational opportunities in your area this summer. Enjoy!

The Little Mermaid, Fauquier Community Theatre

Every summer, local children between the ages of 5 and 18 present a professional-styled musical for the community at the Vint Hill Theatre. Funded by Fauquier Community Theatre (FCT) and led by a team of professional, although volunteer, directors and producers, the show runs for a total of two consecutive weekends, and historically has been around Father’s Day. This year, however, the production, The Little Mermaid, Jr., will present mid-summer, with performances on Fridays and Saturdays at 7pm and Sundays at 2pm, from July 17 through July 26. The director, Evelyn Rice of Warrenton, who has directed more than 15 shows with FCT, says, “This is a very special cast of youth. We have a talented group of actors and singers here. It’s going to be a great show, and we always enjoy seeing the excitement on the audience’s faces as they leave the performances – it’s going to be another energizing show.” For codirector, Jeremy Vest, this is his third time in a director role for an FCT children’s production, which have included 2013’s Aladdin and 2014’s Beauty & the Beast, Jr. “The kids are awesome, they have been working hard since auditions in March. There is a lot of dancing in this show, and they are really enthusiastic about performing all they have been learning.” To purchase tickets,

For your ease, by purchasing tickets on the FCT Webpage, you may make your seat selections to ensure your preference in seat location. Enjoy the show!

Larry Weeks Pool Passes

For a local place to cool off from the summer heat, consider visiting the Larry Weeks Community Pool in Vint Hill on Aiken Dr. It opens Memorial Day weekend and is open most days throughout the summer from 11am to 7pm while school is out of session (during school, the hours change slightly). Passes are offered for frequent use, or daily access rates are reasonable for occasional use, and range anywhere from $4.50 per day for a child age 2-11, to $335 for a season pass for a family of 2. Five lanes of the main pool and the wading pool are typically open for play, recreation and open swim. Lanes are marked for lap swim times, swim lessons are offered throughout the summer for all swim levels (pre-school to level V), a shallow children’s pool with fun statues that squirt and entertain the little ones, and pool rentals are available. More information on special events planned for the Larry Weeks pool can be found in the Good Times guide, available online at www.recreation.fauquiercounty.gov.

Warrenton Town Limits Hometown Celebration at the WARF Hosted by the Town of Warrenton Parks & Recreation Department, on July 3, from 4pm to dusk, music, games, swimming, sports presentations, local business vendors and fireworks will round out the evening! What a fun way to celebrate Independence Day early! Bring your lawn chairs,

Jump-N-Jimmies Parents Night Outs

Every Friday evening throughout the year, Jump-N-Jimmies in Haymarket hosts a Parents Night Out, which is planned to be just as much fun for the kids as date night is for Mom and Dad. For twenty dollars per child, from 5:30-9:00pm, your age 4-12 year old will have hours of bouncing fun, a planned recreational activity and dinner included. Make your reservations ahead of time by calling: (703) 753-5867.

Jump-N-Jimmies says, “We are Haymarket & Gainesville’s leading family entertainment center, filled with over 6,200 square feet of indoor, inflatable fun! We offer open bounce and semiprivate parties each weekday, and private parties each weekend.

You need a place to take the family and unwind; we’re happy to be that destination!” For more information, visit: www.jnjparty.com.

Planning a summer party for one of your kids? Jump-NJimmies recently partnered with the Edge Party Trailer to bring you a video game trailer-rental option for parties. It comes to your location, and can occupy up to 20 children at a time.

Summer Camps for Kids

Electronics Robot Adventure and Sports Camp with Nationals Game Outing are among the summer camps offered through Fauquier County Parks & Recreation in the Eastern Region, also known as Vint Hill and Broad Run. You need not be a Fauquier County resident to register, although in-county and out-of-county fees vary a smidge. The sports camp will include volleyball, basketball, soccer, football, and baseball, and a game day at National’s Park. Bring your lunch every day for this 9am-3pm camp the week of July 20, for grades 3-6.

Or, do you have a rising 1st-4th grader who is interested in robot adventures using hands-on engineering and science to complete challenges? Your little engineer will learn about electronics and robotics to solve problems. This 9:30am-2:30pm camp during the week of June 29 may just be the adventure your child has been craving. Fees apply and are paid at the time of registration. To register for either camp, visit the Vint Hill Village Green Parks & Rec building during business hours.

Camp Sunny Days at Battlefield High School is open to girls grades K-5 who are not currently enrolled in Girl Scouts. This week-long camp offers free bus transportation from nearby schools and has a very feasible cost of $40 per camper for the week. This day camp will meet at Battlefield High School in Haymarket from 9am-3pm during the week of June 22. Camp Sunny Days is a community day camp designed as an introductory program for girls who could be interested in Girl Scouting, and will take place indoors and outdoors. To register, visit www.gscnc.org.

Pickleball

Say what? Pickleball may be new to you, but it is not a new sport in Fauquier! Want to learn something new? According to Parks and Recreation, “Pickleball is played on a badminton court with the net lowered to 34 inches at the center. It is played with a perforated plastic baseball (similar to a whiffleball) and wood or composite paddles.” A group of adults meet regularly throughout the year at the Vint Hill Village Green to have pick-up Pickleball games. This summer, on July 6 and July 8, from 9am to 11am, this group will meet at Auburn Middle School in hopes of building its group and growing interest in this sport within the community. It is a free event, and equipment will be provided. All they need is you! Wear tennis shoes and bring a water bottle.

Fauquier Health Therapists Make a BIG and LOUD Difference for Parkinson’s Patients

T

he symptoms of Parkinson’s disease are commonly thought of as physical tremors and perhaps a halting or shaky speech pattern, but Parkinson’s symptoms include the deterioration of many functions throughout the body. Linda Wise, physical and occupational therapist for Fauquier Health Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, describes the progression of the disease: “Everything gets smaller. In a Parkinson’s patient, movements get rigid and more restricted, they take smaller steps, the voice gets softer and they often disengage from friends and family as their world shrinks.”

Keeping Their Voice In an effort to enlarge the world of Parkinson’s patients and help them stay connected, the Lee Silverman Voice Treatment Program was created in 1983. LSVT LOUD is a protocol to help speech therapists increase vocal quality and loudness for patients with Parkinson’s disease. The focus is to train using amplitude activities for increasing vocal loudness. Patients are trained not to yell or scream but rather to use improved loudness so that over the course of treatment, they are able to maintain a louder level for their voice.

A more recent development, LSVT BIG was developed on the same principles – encouraging patients to use large amplitude movements to carry over into functional daily activities. Both LSVT BIG and LOUD programs provide four treatment sessions a week for four weeks, for a total of 16 sessions.

Certified in LSVT LOUD and BIG, Wise, Elena Dwyer, physical therapist and Maddy Lawyer, speech therapist, evaluate each patient’s capabilities at the first visit. Dwyer said, “One of the first things we do is make a list of functions that the 8

patient finds difficult – walking, standing up from a sitting position, getting in and out of a car, buttoning a shirt or writing a check. Everyone’s list is a little different, depending on where they are with their symptoms.”

Wise added, “Because their movements are getting progressively smaller, we teach them to exaggerate every movement – to make everything BIG. They don’t just stand up – they stand up and throw their arms open wide, saying loudly, ‘I am here!’”

Patients work on exercises they can apply to their everyday lives. “We have them for hour-long sessions.

They work hard while they are here, then they go home and repeat the exercises between visits. If they want to maintain the progress they achieve in their four weeks with us, they need to do these exercises every day for the rest of their lives,” says Wise.

Making Strides The therapists have seen real improvement with their patients.

Dwyer said, “One of our patients likes to go bowling. When he came to us, he thought he was going to have to give it up, but at the end of his therapy, he was bowling in the 200s again.

“It’s hard work, and some patients are reluctant to try, but we show them before and after videos of other patients (from the LSVT Global webpage) and it gives them hope. They’ll watch a patient who is speaking very quietly, in a barely audible monotone, with no expression on their face. After therapy, that same patient is engaged and speaking clearly and loudly, their face animated and happy. We take video of all our patients, when they are starting with us and when they are finished. They are amazed to see their own progress.”

Another of Wise’s patients, Laura Cline, had loved to quilt, but she gave it up because she couldn’t thread a

After finishing four weeks of LSVT BIG and LOUD therapy, she is back at her sewing machine, happily crafting new designs. needle anymore. “After 10 sessions, she could control her tremors well enough to thread a needle.”

Delighted at being able to quilting, Laura completes her LSVT exercises at home with enthusiasm. “I could not believe what a difference I saw in just four weeks. I got my life back.”

The Fauquier Health therapists agree that it is gratifying to be able to have such a profound impact on the lives of those with Parkinson’s symptoms. Wise said, “It’s wonderful to see the look on the family’s faces as their loved ones begin to engage again and the light comes back into their eyes.”

othing refreshes mind and soul faster and better than a walk in the woods. Such ancient wisdom, often submerged in our busy lives, perks up with a walk through the State Arboretum of Virginia. You’ll saunter through acres upon acres of native trees and shrubs with wild flowers along easy pathways.

Established in 1927 the Arboretum is part of the Blandy Experimental Farm, a 700-acre research center for the University of Virginia. It is an outdoor museum in the northern part

of the Shenandoah Valley that offers up the beauty of rolling meadowland and mountain vistas with perennial gardens surrounding the historic Quarters buildings which were built in the 1830’s, and expanded in the 1940’s. Today, they house a small gift shop, a lab and library, a dormitory and kitchen for students who work the experimental farm.

FURRY FRIENDS

Beat the Heat During the Dog Days of Summer As the temperature climbs so does your dog’s risk for sunburn, heat exhaustion, and dehydration. Although we humans are more likely to involve our pets in activities during the summer, it is important to observe, limit, and moderate exposure to minimize risk. Here are some fun ideas and tips to considering for you and your four legged friend to have a safe summer: FROZEN KONG Hollow rubber Kong Toys stuffed with your dog’s favorite snack are a great way to keep your canine entertained, but even better - the frozen Kong! These toys can be filled with a variety of wet ingredients including pumpkin, cheese, tuna, yogurt, bananas, peanut butter, canned dog food, etc. and frozen for prolonged fun!

PUPSICLE Creating an interactive ice cube for your dog will help bust boredom and assist in keeping it cool this summer. Take a small bucket, and add some water or broth, a mixture of treats, chews, tennis ball, or any other toys your dog loves and freeze the whole thing. Once frozen flip the bucket over on your porch or in your yard for hours of entertainment as your dog bites at the ice to remove his favorite items.

Alternatively freeze an ice cube tray with some broth and cookie pieces for in the kitchen or crate.

PLAY POOL Kiddie play pools have been a summer hit with kids throughout the years and is becoming a seasonal favorite for our canine friends as well. Start your unfamiliar dog out by feeding it lots of high value treats in an empty pool first in order to gain confidence. Next add a few of his favorite toys and a couple inches of water while continuing to feed yummy cookies. After a few repetitions your dog will be excited to jump in the pool and gladly seek it out to cool down. Make sure to look for a hard plastic type pool for your pet, as soft inflatables tend to easily become punctured by claws.

FROZEN BANDANNAS In order to help moderate external body temperature during the hot summer months simply purchase a few bandannas, soak them in water, wring them out once, and place them in the freezer. After a few hours take one out and place it on your dog as a way to help keep cool on walks or when outside.

The Ventlock Tailgate Lock allows more ventilation into your car than just leaving windows open. It works by fixing the rear door or tailgate in a semi-open position and combined with a front window open just an inch or two, it allows free flowing air just where the dogs need it most - on their nose at the back of the vehicle.

TRAVELING IN CARS Heat stroke is particularly prevalent in dogs traveling in cars. Ensure to take extra precautions and limit trips on hot days in order to minimize risk. Park cars with sun screens in the shade so temperatures can be kept as low as possible.

Leaving windows down a couple of inches does not allow enough air flow so consider investing in a vent lock (http:// leerburg.com/1332.htm) while opening the windows to increase ventilation. Make sure your pet has plenty of fresh or iced water to help thermo-regulate and either supervise your pet or check on it often.

OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES Whether you are playing fetch in the yard, hiking in the mountains, or visiting a local festival, ensure your dog is comfortable throughout the activity. Provide plenty of fresh water, take breaks, find shade to rest, and pace yourself. Dogs naturally pant in order to help regulate their body temperature, however if you notice an increase of heart rate, elevated body temperature (above 103 degrees F), changes in mental status, dehydration, shock,

or unconsciousness, your dog is likely suffering from hyperthermia and requires emergency medical treatment.

An additional concern with prolonged sun exposure is your dog’s risk of sunburn. This is especially common in dogs with white coats light pigment, and those who have been had their hair shaved for the summer.

FLEAS AND TICKS Warm weather brings all critters out - including parasites such as fleas, ticks, and mites. Ensure to have your dog on a preventative in order to minimize infestation and serious illnesses such as Lyme Disease, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Ehrlichiosis, and Anaplasmosis. Products include topical drops that are applied monthly, oral pills, and collars; consult your veterinarian as to which method is best for your pet.

Whether you are planning on a family vacation, are taking your dog out to explore our beautiful region, or enjoying your backyard this summer, ensure you are cautious of hazards and considerate of your pets needs in hot weather.

Use a variety of toys, tools, and precautions to keep it cool.

or many years after the Civil War, educational opportunities for African Americans in Northern Virginia – and most other areas in the South – were severely limited. While human bondage was no longer legal, this situation kept many of the formerly enslaved and their families in poverty.

To envision a way to solve this dilemma was a challenge; coming up with a plan to implement it was even harder, and finding the financial support to bring it to reality seemingly impossible.

But fortunately for Prince William County and the rest of Northern Virginia, one person emerged who had this vision, and was able to overcome tremendous obstacles to accomplish it.

Jane Serepta Dean, known throughout her life as “Miss Jennie,” was born in 1852 in a cabin near Sudley Springs, east of Catharpin. It is known that her grandparents, Reuben and Mildred were enslaved, the property of Thomas Newman of Marble Hill, near Sudley Springs.

Jennie’s father, Charles Dean, was an infant when Thomas Newman died in 1821, and according to Newman’s will, his land and slaves were divided up between his ten children. Ownership of Jennie’s grandparents and son Charles passed to Catherine Newton Newman, who eventually became the sole owner of Marble Hill, due to the fact she never married.

Another daughter, Eleanor Newman, married Christopher Cushing, and the couple lived at Marble Hall with Catherine. As he grew up, Charles Dean became one of the house servants, and at an early age was taught to read and write, a rare advantage for someone born in slavery. Eventually, Charles married a woman named Annie, and started a family.

In 1855, Miss Catherine Newman died, and Marble Hill and its slaves passed to Christopher and Eleanor Cushing. By then, Charles and Annie had three daughters, Jennie, Ella and Mary, and a son, Charles.

Howland Hall on the campus of the Manassas Industrial School served as the girls’ dormitory and school dining hall.

The first building burned in 1894, and was replaced by the structure in this photograph.

Jennie’s brother Charles was sold to Thomas Settle, who had a farm in Loudoun County. The remaining members of the Dean family at Marble Hill continued to serve their masters tirelessly and faithfully until they were freed at the end of the war.

They were no longer enslaved, but the farmland they had worked was desolate, and there were no jobs, and no money.

However, Charles and Annie had one simple challenge for their children, borne of their experiences in bondage: “Profit by freedom, and make something of yourselves.”

Jennie, just 13 years old at the time, traveled to Washington, D.C., where she worked in domestic service. In 1866, joined the 19th Street Baptist Church in Washington.

She would work in the city all week, but unlike most of the young people who migrated north to find jobs, Jennie came home when she could, in order to maintain

ties with her family and community.

Although a low-paid domestic, she made enough money in Washington to cover the tuition for her younger sister Ella to attend Wayland Seminary, where she was trained to be a teacher; and to pay off the mortgage on a 32-acre property near Marble Hill that her father had purchased from Christopher Cushing in 1876.

It was while she was working in Washington that Jennie realized there had to be a way for African Americans to lift themselves out of poverty.

“Alarmed by the exodus of Negro boys and girls to the cities, where work was scarce, living conditions were miserable and vice was rampant, she would call together her neighbors in Prince William,” according to Prince William, the Story of Its Places and Its People (1941). “’Keep your children home,’ she would say. ‘Don’t send them to the cities. You must buy your lands; become

taxpayers.’”

Jennie’s next step in bringing this message to her people was based on her faith, as she started several small Sunday Schools as a way to reach the young. Her sister Ella, who was teaching at a small school at Thoroughfare Gap, assisted her.

“Jennie Dean had conceived the vision of actual need, and then went far and near, on horseback or in her little sulky, planting Sunday Schools and otherwise laboring to make Christ known and teach His gospel to the youth wherever she could get them together,” recalled Rev. Walter H. Brooks, pastor of the 19th Street Baptist Church.

Eventually, Jennie’s Sunday Schools effort grew to become three Baptist churches. Mt. Calvary, consecrated in 1880, was built on a plot of land at Sudley Springs near Jennie’s father’s home.

Prosperity Baptist in the village of Conklin in Loudoun County was built in 1899 on

A scale model of the campus of the Manassas Industrial School was placed on the site of the school, along with stones marking the locations of the actual buildings, and a memorial to Jennie Dean.

land donated the church by Jennie’s brother Charles. Dean Divers Chapel at Five Forks (on present-day Bethlehem Road) near Manassas was completed in 1909.

In connection with her early church work, on Saturday afternoons Jennie shared what she had learned as a domestic worker with the girls in the congregations, teaching them cooking, sewing and other useful skills. It was this practical application of knowledge that would lead to the next level.

Manassas Industrial School for Colored Youth

Addressing the spiritual base for improving the lives of her people was one thing; providing young African Americans with the skills they would need to have good jobs and gain self-sufficiency was equally important. But even at the end of the 19th century, there was nothing like that to be found in Northern Virginia.

Dr. Stephen Johnson Lewis, a Manassas dentist and graduate of the Manassas Industrial School, wrote a comprehensive biography entitled Undaunted Faith: the Story of Jennie Dean, published in 1942. In his book, he often quotes Jennie in her own words: “I have often been asked about the origin and growth of the Manassas Colored Industrial School, situated in Manassas, Virginia. Having been engaged in organizing and reorganizing four Sabbath Schools, I found through this work many boys and girls who would be smart in more ways than one if they had an opportunity.

“One morning, a farmer called to see me about his children, as he had seven sons and wanted them to have trades. I told him he must pray over the matter, and God would open the way somehow.”

A few months later, Jennie, her mother Annie and Rev. D.G. Henderson were discussing “…the conditions and welfare of the young colored people,” and Jennie brought up the question of the man with seven sons.

By then, Jennie had formulated a plan for an institution that would meet these needs, including what schools would be needed, who would teach the classes, and how to secure the things needed to get started, including financing. Those hired by the school would have to work their first year without pay, “…as we were all poor,” said Jennie.

At the time, Jennie’s sister was teaching at Thoroughfare, and had become friends with Miss Jennie E. Thompson, whose family had lived in the area for many years. There were many African Americans living in Thoroughfare, some of whom had once been slaves of Miss Thompson’s parents.

“She was young and knew nothing of the past, and yet her eyes were open and her heart tender toward the needs of the young people in the ways of proper training, education and trades,” noted Jennie.

Miss Thompson had no money, but knew many people in the area who had money or controlled it. This represented the first opportunity to involve the white community in the building of the school, and it would prove to be successful. Pastors of local churches were also contacted, and they urged their congregations to support the school as well.

Selecting the site

A survey of Prince William and the five adjacent counties revealed the scope of the need: there were 23,972 African Americans, with 11,000 of school age.

After first considering Thoroughfare as the location of the school, it was later decided to look at property in Manassas. A public meeting was held in Manassas in November 1890, and it was learned that a 152-acre farm southeast of Manassas owned by a Mr. Brenton was available for $2,650. It was the perfect site, and 24

Jennie Dean started Prosperity Baptist Church at Conklin, in Loudoun County, in 1899. It was built on land donated by her brother, Charles Dean. The first church burned in 1951, and the present church built east of the site between 1952-1972. a $100 deposit would hold the property for a few days.

Unfortunately, the school had only $60 in its bank account, which had been provided by Jennie; Miss Thompson found a contributor who provided the $40 balance. A committee was appointed to oversee the fundraising, consisting of Rev. M.D. Williams, George C. Rounds and John Johnson, all of Manassas.

As the deadline for the first payment of $1,400 approached, the original resources seemed to have dried up. Jennie then met with Dr. H. M. Clarkson, the Prince William County superintendent of Schools; Capt. Tyler of Haymarket, “Squire” Cushing of Catharpin and Judge William Gaines of Warrenton. All gave their endorsement of the school, and contacted their friends and colleagues in New York, Boston and other cities in the North.

After separating from the Manassas Industrial School, Jennie Dean founded Dean Divers Baptist Church in 1909 on land donated by Henrietta Page.

Even so, raising the $1,400 payment proved difficult.

Committees from several neighborhoods were formed, each with a specific task, or item of food to bring to fundraising receptions and dinners. For example, after the Fourth of July dinner in 1893, it was noted that $75 had been raised.

These same neighborhood committees were called upon when work was started on the school. “Free day’s work was appointed for teams and laborers. Some of them had to come eight or ten miles,” Jennie recalled. “Teams from Bull Run were Anthony Harris, Bladen Robinson, Tasker Robinson and John Free. Wellington: William Lewis, William Griffin Mrs. Sallie Stokes and William Jackson. Sudley Springs: Nelson Elliot, John Peters, Mrs. Charles Dean and John Shellington. Men and teams from Manassas were Broad Run Lifestyle

John Green, David Washington, Mrs. Martha Chapman, John Johnson and Henry Berry.”

The fortunes of the school got a boost in February 1893, when Jennie met Miss Emily Howland of Sherwood, N.Y. at the Women’s Suffrage Convention in Washington, D.C. Miss Howland visited the farm, liked what she saw, and donated $1,000 to finish paying for the property. In addition, she provided the money to build Howland Hall, the women students’ dormitory.

The following month, the Manassas Industrial School for Colored Youth opened in the farmhouse on the property, renamed “Charter Cottage.” There were only six students, but with the completion of Howland Hall in September 1893, enrollment grew to 75.

Dr. E. P. Clemons was the first principal. Faculty included Jefferson Thomas, who taught carpentry; and Mrs. Clemons, sewing. Miss Mary E. Vernon was the cooking and literary teacher, as well as matron and housekeeper.

As agreed, they were not paid a salary their first year, receiving only room and board. Much of the food prepared and served at the school, as well as the furnishings for Howland Hall, were donated by the surrounding communities.

Dr. Stephen Johnson Lewis knew his subject well when he published Undaunted Faith: the Story of Jennie Dean in 1942. A Manassas dentist and resident of Catlett, Va., he was an early graduate of the Manassas Industrial School.

His mother, Mrs. Landonia Lewis, was a close friend of Jennie Dean, and provided support and advice as plans to build the Manassas Industrial School were formulated. She also served as Jennie Dean’s representative for the Wellington neighborhood during the initial construction phase of the school.

The original limited edition of Undaunted Faith

Tragedy and recovery

In January 1894, Jennie was returning from a fund soliciting trip in New York when she receive word that Howland Hall and all of its contents, including the personal items and clothes of the 75 students, had been lost in a terrible fire.

It was truly a test of Jennie’s faith – they had only gotten to use the new building for four months – but by then, interest and support for the school had reached the point where there was no question about rebuilding, and the funds to accomplish the task were soon secured. Classes were held in an unused church nearby for the rest of the term.

Two years later, Jennie was back in New York, where she met with Mrs. C.B. Hackley, who had become a friend of the school. “At this time we did not have a separate building for the boys,” Jennie recalled. “When she knew this, she willingly had one built at the cost of $3,000, and furnished it with the assistance of Mrs. L.A. Darling of New York.”

The new frame structure was called Hackley Hall, and unbelievably, it burned on the night of Jan. 25, 1900, the result of the improper installation of the furnace. Again Jennie called on her supporters in the North, who responded generously. A new Hackley Hall, built of brick, rose on the site. It was dedicated on Nov. 5, 1901.

Times of great change

The early 20th century ushered in a new era for the school, as its reputation grew and enrollment steadily increased. However, about 1905 a movement began to force Jennie Dean out of the management and planning of the school.

“Not far ahead lay many obstacles to be overcome, many acute problems to be solved and many heartaches for our heroine, which included almost complete banishment from participation in her project by a new group, which ultimately came into control of it,” wrote her biographer, Dr. Lewis.

“The incorporation of the institution brought to the fore men of keen business vision and experience, and it is likely that she clashed with them. There are on record some very unfortunate situations, which on the surface seem to many to have involved unfair treatment of her, bordering on sheer disrespect for the sacrificial work she had done and her high objectives.”

If Jennie were excluded from the management of the school, she remained its public face. On Feb. 14, 1906, she and a group of students were invited to the White House, where President 26

was printed by The Circuit Press in Catlett, which also published a weekly newspaper for African Americans that was circulated in Fauquier County. George W. Robinson did the drawing on the cover, and the Northern Virginia Baptist Association sponsored the project.

A few copies of the original Undaunted Faith survived, and in 1989, the Manassas City Council voted to have the book reprinted, as part of the project to build a memorial to Jennie Dean on the original campus of the Manassas Industrial School.

Members of the Manassas Historical Society and staff of the Manassas Museum System worked on the book, adding a donor list, history of the school since 1942, a bibliography and index. Vintage photos gathered from several local sources completed the book.

Funded by a grant from IBM, the handsome, hard cover memorial edition was published in 1994. It can be purchased for $5 at the Manassas Museum Store, 9101 Prince William Street, Manassas, VA 20110, or visit www.manassasmuseum.org.

Enrollment in 1952 was 750 students, but by then the counties involved were building their own segregated high schools.

By 1959, all regional high school operations ceased, and only Prince William County students studied there.

In response, the county built a new combination elementary and high school for African-American students next to the site, which was called the Jennie Dean High and Elementary School. Most of the old school buildings were demolished during the 1960s.

The Civil Rights Act banning segregation was passed in 1964. The Jennie Dean School was integrated two years later, and served as a middle school.

Carnegie Hall, the last surviving structure of the Manassas Industrial School, was demolished in 1970 in order to make way for an expansion of the school.

Manassas received city status in 1975, and acquired the school from the county. Today, it is the Jennie Dean Elementary School.

Jennie Dean remembered

Jennie Dean died on May 3, 1913, and was buried in this simple grave at Mt. Calvary Baptist Church, not far from where she was born.

Theodore Roosevelt praised the school and its goals: “Miss Dean, the good that comes with any such school as this is increased ten-fold, when the school is founded, as you founded this, and as Mr. (Booker T.) Washington founded Tuskegee, by a colored man or woman to help the colored boys and girls of today the best type of self-respecting, self-supporting American citizens of the future.”

A large new building used for classrooms, a library and administrative offices, costing $30,000 and funded by the Andrew Carnegie Foundation, was dedicated in 1910. Those then in charge took credit for the largesse, but Dr. Lewis

notes that while Jennie was no longer running the school, “…her influence was still potent, as Mr. Carnegie himself acknowledged in one of his later gifts to the school.”

Financial problems continually plagued the school, in part because the donors Jennie had cultivated over the years had either died or cut back, and weren’t being replaced.

In 1938, the school was purchased

by Fairfax, Fauquier and Prince William counties, which assumed the debts and operated the facility as the Manassas Regional High School for African American students from those counties and the surrounding areas.

Separated from the school she founded, Jennie spent the last years of her life involved in the church work that marked her early adulthood. In 1909, she started the Dean Divers Church at Five Forks, a community settled by former slaves west of Manassas.

The land was donated by Henrietta Page, and construction costs covered by the Divers family of New Jersey. Again, Jenny demonstrated the zeal that inspired the congregation to establish the new church, and her ability to gain support and raise money.

Her health began to fail, and Jennie Dean died on May 3, 1913. She was buried in the cemetery at Mt. Calvary Baptist Church near her birthplace. The commencement ceremony at the Manassas Industrial School held on May 25, 1913 included a memorial service. Dr. Lewis was the Alumni speaker, and like the others that eulogized Jennie Dean, he was “… wholly unequal to the task.”

Undaunted Faith, written nearly 30 years later, was his sincere effort to “… record a real and full appreciation of what she accomplished, and of her real worth as a public benefactor.”

SCHEDULE YOUR 3D MAMMOGRAPHY TODAY 3D mammography is an advanced, clinically proven technology designed for early breast cancer detection. During the 3D mammogram, multiple projections create a 3D image of your breast tissue. Your radiologist can see breast abnormalities in a way never before possible.

Fauquier Hospital is the only facility in the region to have the new low-dose technology available for 3D mammography; using the same radiation dose as a 2D mammogram. Research studies show that 3D mammography reduces callbacks for additional imaging by up to 16% and increases cancer detection by up to 40%.

Talk to your doctor about whether 3D mammography is right for you.

Once you have a physician’s order, please call (540) 316-5800 to schedule your mammogram appointment.
