Class Record 2015

“Any good thing, therefore, that I can do, or any kindness I can show, or any service I can render…; let me do it now. ”

-William Penn

The 2014 Class Record is Dedicated to

From washing rank football jerseys to helping prepare for every contest on campus, Gerry Sasse is an indispensable member of our community. Behind the scenes, Mr Sasse organizes the uniforms and equipment for the teams and makes sure that the referees and umpires are treated right Moving adroitly between the buildings, he is at nearly every game, cheering on the teams after a big win or picking them up and helping them laugh after a tough loss

Mr. Gerry Sasse

Students always count on him when they forget their uniform and he always finds a way to make sure that they get on the field in spite of the countless pieces of apparel that they “forgot” When athletes have to return their uniforms at the end of the season, he somehow manages to make the chaotic routine orderly This year, he finally moved out of the basement of the Graham Athletic Center and into spacious new quarters in the old squash courts With a place all his own, “Sass” is even more organized and easier to find.

Mr Sasse does much more around the school than his job requires. He keeps us aware of how the other schools’ teams are doing, and which of our athletes are in the newspapers or has a story online.

During the school day, he can be seen walking through the hallways with a smile on his face and a twinkle in his eyes that is part Santa, part mischievous kid (that’s why we get along with him so well!) With two sons of his own who attended Penn Charter, Mr Sasse is never hesitant to give fatherly advice that keeps us positive Every day after school, he is seen around the field house simply talking to the students about life on and off the field. He is one of the few people in the school who knows almost every student by name, and he treats everyone with the same high level of respect and courtesy Even on the weekends, Mr. Sasse is at games and at other events that are going on in the Penn Charter community. His support for Penn Charter covers the full range of athletics, arts, and academics.

Gerry Sasse is the kind of person who is part of the life blood of many independent schools, a person who is available to all of us, ready to help, be it with a door to open or a solution to a problem. Many a time “Sass” has said it best when he is asked about his role: “how can I help?” He has the attitude of one who embodies the Penn Charter spirit of service and going above and beyond what is expected of him. Because Gerry Sasse is a man who serves our school and puts the needs of students ahead of his own, the Class of 2015 is delighted to dedicate our Class Record to him

In 1989, the Class Record paused to commemorate a key milestone: the tricentennial of our founding by William Penn. In that year, girls had just entered the freshman class,

there were only 71 seniors, and the yearbook was produced entirely without the use of a computer or digital photography. The 2015 Class Record now takes a look at the changes that have occurred in the past 25 years, a period of remarkable growth for this venerable institution.

William Penn believed in education for children of all backgrounds. In the past 25 years, PC has taken many steps to pursuing that goal, including the new Center for Public Purpose and ongoing diversity initiatives. To further improve our community, PC is trying to be “greener” with the new Environmental Stewardship and Sustainability initiative. PC’s environmental impact has already been reduced with projects that include revamping the waste disposal system in the cafeteria and holding collections for all kinds of electronic recyclables.

keep up to date with the newest innovations. With the 1-to-1 computer program, every student from 4th grade up has access to a laptop, allowing teachers to maximize technological resources. The recently developed Center for Teaching and Learning is a place where teachers learn the skills necessary to use and incorporate technology into the classroom, as well as ongoing professional development on a variety of topics. The Math and Writing Centers have been another source of support for students for over a decade. They can be found in these rooms getting tips from teachers and peer tutors, collaborating with friends, or just finding a quiet space to study.

In addition to programmatic change, PC’s East Falls campus has undergone much physical development over the past 25 years. Two prominent new buildings on campus are the Richard B. Fisher Middle School and the Kurtz Center for the Performing Arts. In addition to the spacious Ball Theater, the Kurtz Center offers students more opportunities to pursue music with the noise-insulated practice rooms, recording studio, and technology lab. Sports have also benefitted from new construction, with renovations of the Graham Athletic Center and Dooney Field House, as well as new playing fields for softball and soccer, the Perrott turf field and all-weather track, and the Kline-Specter Squash Center.

Even though PC is the fourth oldest school in the country, we still makes every effort to

Penn Charter continues to adapt and embrace change while staying true to its roots and values.

Football saw a tale of two seasons Going 5-1 in non-league action, the Quakers showed tenacity and overcame some serious opponents Even though Neuman-Gorretti would reach the PIAA quarterfinals, they were stopped by our strong defense Beating Springfield under the lights was one of the most exciting games of the year, won by Colin Mattice’s last-minute field goal in front of a raucous “white-out” crowd. League play began with a scoring fest for the record books, in a heartbreaking loss to SCHA, an “almost” from which PC never fully recovered The Quakers were overmatched by the rest of the league, but GA was beatable, and except for some bad breaks we could have avenged last year ’ s loss to our traditional rival Captains Rob Keehfuss and Pat McInerney were pillars of confidence, and the rest of the seniors stepped up as leaders PC had a young and talented team that looks forward to settling some scores next year.

Field Hockey

Captains: Dolly Segal, Sophie Eldridge, Grace Harbison & Kennedy Kline

This year was a season of ups and downs for the field hockey team The Quakers enjoyed beating Springside twice and playing a team from Scotland In addition to a challenging InterAc schedule, PC successfully took on teams from other conferences, including wins against the PCL’s Archbishop Ryan by a score of 11-1 and Friends Central of the Friends Schools League by a score of 8-0 Goaltender Kennedy Kline, scoring threat Sophie Eldridge and the ever-hustling Grace Harbison and Dolly Segal gave a young team positive senior leadership and showed not only how to win but how far the PCFH program has come in a few years. With three freshmen in the starting lineup, the future looks promising.

In the minds of some critics, the Quakers exceeded expectations this season, but this team believes that there was more they might have done Facing what some coaches considered the most difficult non-league scholastic schedules of any team in the nation, PC did impressively against ranked powers, including a win over Gonzaga, a tie against undefeated Archbishop Wood, and a thumping of Father Judge These challenges were excellent preparation for the InterAc, where the competition is always fierce, and rankings do not mean a thing With scoring power from Luke Zieger, Harrison Williams and newcomer Drew Shaifer, the Quakers fought to a respectable third place in the InterAc, and advanced past the first round of the state independent schools tournament A lot of returning talent bodes well for PC soccer in the future.

How much fun is it to beat GA? How about three times in one season, on the way to our second consecutive InterAc and state championships? After an early loss to the favored Agnes Irwin, the Quakers re-grouped and “ ran the table”, as the pros might say This juggernaut dominated the InterAc through October and November, a six-week romp in which PC outscored opponents 38-9. Complementing the prolific goal scoring by Jlon Flippens were frosh sensations Giovanna DeMarco and Frenchie Pellerito; Ally Paul’s midfield play translated into assists on scoring chances; Macaul Mellor and “the general” Dom DeMarco anchored the defensive wall in front of rotating goalies Mireyah Davis (soph) and Mack Listman (frosh). Although the Quakers will lose the leadership of seniors Eliza Jacobs and Abby Evans, the returning team of veteran champions looks forward to continuing the winning tradition of the Borksi Era

The Quakers Cross Country team surprised everyone in the InterAc with a successful year. Although they had a losing record in dual meets, they had a very young team this year This is the second consecutive year that the team placed second at Champs Two runners were awarded first team All-InterAc at Champs, and another runner was named to the second team Although many runners battled injury and illness through different points in the season, many still managed to get up and run big for the team. Ben Szuhaj won the 62nd Annual George school invitational in a great battle with another runner who would go on to be All-State in the Public League this year, in a course record time of 16:11 The Quaker runners all put in long hours of hard work, day in day out, and really matured as competitors.

This year, the Girls Cross Country team matured tremendously as a group. The Quakers had a number of young runners step up and work hard for the team.

Captains Sophie Sepel and Maya Pressley provided outstanding leadership through their strong work ethic and constant good humor Key contributors were Emily Smith, Willow Tierno, Emma Locke, and newcomer Avery Shoemaker Mckenna Krall, the #1 runner all year, is poised to make noise in the InterAc next year. They are especially proud of conquering hills at the Belmont Plateau and coming in “notlast” at Champs While running this year, the girls had a ton of fun doing things such as bonding over the uniform shorts, listening to Emily's encouraging “Pei Pei Sho!!” after warm ups, and simply eating food together

The team finished 3rd in the InterAc after beating AIS for the first time in years Emily Barkann, Rebecca John and Izzy Hirshberg kept the young team as close as ever. As Coach Weinstein said, “Emily made sure the social calendar was scheduled during pre-season ” The team highlights were “blue 80” and the team sleepover The InterAc schools better watch out as this young team will become a big threat in the upcoming years, especially since several singles and doubles players finished 3rd in their respective positions at Champs

As a team we shot the best team score of the year at Gulph Mills, with three golfers in the 30's: Jake Cutler (frosh), JB Bradbeer, and Brian Izstwan The Quakers met our expectations for sure; it was a successful season and the team is very young and has much success to look forward to in the future Departing seniors Owen Davis, a four-year starter and two-time captain, and JB, who will graduate with the most successful career of any PC golfer in years, were valued for their leadership and set high standards for the young team to emulate

This season saw many new players go out for Girls Polo, so many that they actually had more players than the boys team and enough to field a JV squad They were led by new head coach Brian Hecker, as well as veteran coaches Charlie Brown and Heather Fellmeth, who all brought enthusiasm to the team The coaches introduced new games such as 'pairs' which allowed the team to see the wilder side of some quieter players. At Beast of the East, the Quakers made it to the championship round, which was extremely exciting Also, support from various other sports teams on campus throughout the season was a great and much appreciated motivator Although not everyone on the team remembered to cut their nails or take off their jewelry, they improved immensely throughout the season and look forward to living up to "the dream".

Despite starting the season with a loss to Loyola in the Philmore Cup tournament, the Quakers won every game from that point until the Beast of the East tournament, where PC came up short Then the rebound: beating Malvern to open league play Even after a close one-goal loss in the Malvern rematch, PC went on to win out the rest of the season en route to a fourth consecutive InterAc championship and on to the Eastern Prep championships, seeded 3rd After defeating a really strong Gonzaga team 12-10, PC proceeded to beat Hill to set up a rematch with Loyola, the team that won Easterns last year In the 8-7 victory Ross Wood, Peter O'Malley, and Conor Foley combined to score all 8 goals Goalie Sawyer Smith also played an amazing game to propel the team to the second Easterns championship in school history and the first since 2001 The team’s success was due in part to the leadership of their all-InterAc selections (Ross Wood, Peter O’Malley, and Conor Foley), 4 alltournament selections (Wood [also MVP], O’Malley, Foley, and Jake Brogan), and 3 players selected for the PA AllStar team (Wood, O’Malley, and Foley)

The Quakers posted a bunch of highlights in a very satisfying season, capped by an appearance in the semifinals of the state tournament (where we put a scare into GA) The Quakers developed a tenacious defense and expanded the three-point threat against tough non-league opponents (including a victory over eventual state champ Shipley) which paid dividends in the InterAc Staying in shape and sharp for competition began with innovations such as the “big bouncy ball game” and “blob tag”, which also revealed who among our coaches still had game The Quakers scored a big, come-from-behind win over Notre Dame and the first victory over Episcopal in five years; the latter game featured balanced scoring, led by Ayanna’s 22, including her 1000th career PC point Hannah reached 1000 earlier this season, and for one more year PC will possess the league’s most talented backcourt Stellar contributions also came from Nic, the team leader in assists and a formidable rebounder; Lexi, the poster child for Grit, whose 92% free throw percentage is nothing short of outstanding; and Mireyah, who led PC in rebounds and recorded “double-doubles” in five games Caroline was the team’s “ mama bear” and Taylor took the prize for “best hair”, with Jules and Jess keeping things upbeat Thanks to the senior captains for great leadership and to coaches Jim, Laura, Sean and Fab for their constant encouragement and great teaching, on and off the court

Despite one of the least successful records in PC basketball history, this year ’ s varsity squad succeeded in different ways: effort, enjoyment of the game, and growth as a team In the first home game of the season, in the newly renovated Dooney Field House gym, the Quakers were victorious, defeating Parkway High The Quakers then rode the wave down to the Wildwood Invitational Tournament, taking one of the two games, against Woodbury, in what observers said was a most encouraging team effort Entering the InterAc season, PC ran into tougher opponents, giving many of the league’s best teams a run for their money A satisfying double digit victory over SCHA in the home finale avenged perhaps the most heartbreaking loss of the season Pat McCain led the scoring with 237 and Julian Johnson was second with 236 Sean Foley led the big men with 81 points. Coach Stewart spoke from the heart about each senior at the end of year dinner, but left it to senior Frank McGlinchy to put everything in perspective with his recap of the season ’ s lighter moments.

The girls squash team started off the season with a strong sweep against Shipley (9-0) Several other good showings were against Conestoga and Lower Merion Led by seniors Claudia and Izzy, the girls definitely had a season full of laughs and team bonding Travelling to Prep School Nationals was definitely an unforgettable trip: a bus fire incident followed by staying warm in fire trucks did not stop us from proving our potential at Nationals The Quakers finished 3rd in division II and really came together to finish the last match against Rye Country Day with a 5-2 win. Junior trio Jenni, Jordyn and Gabi all improved and look forward to leading next year ’ s team Three freshmen were welcomed and improved tremendously as newbies to the sport Our 8th grader Elisabeth was a consistent #2, who could be relied on in any circumstance The Quakers show potential for next season despite the loss of two seniors who will be missed.

The boys squash season started off a bit shaky: a very young team, playing in one of the toughest leagues in America. The Quakers lost many of our matches this year during the regular season. However, when we got into the postseason our energy really seemed to pick up PC won the Mid Atlantic, or MASA, tournament in division two, which is an impressive improvement over the regular season. Then the next weekend PC went up to Connecticut for nationals and ended up winning the consolation of division two, making us the 25th best team in the country. Most importantly, even if we won or lost, the Quakers were a close knit team and had a great time throughout the course of the season

Going into the season we did not know what to expect with the addition of eight new freshmen to the team, along with the returning five sophomores, two juniors, and four seniors We started off the season with a win against SCH which got the swimmers into the groove and proved that although we may be a young team, we can compete During our training trip to Florida we came together in more ways than one From the early morning and late night practices to team activities on the beach, we formed a close knit family with memories that we will all cherish forever The period of time between Florida and “taper” was definitely the hardest part of the season; however, the bonding we had experienced and a solid work ethic motivated everyone to push through. Although by the end of the season the numbers of swimmers dwindled due to injuries or other commitments, Easterns was a success for everyone There were personal records broken all around and a total of 108 points scored, 95 points better than last year, ultimately ranking us 11th, PC’s best rank since 2012

Despite being introduced to a new coach for the fourth straight season, PC varsity swimming turned out to be an amazing experience with an amazing coach From day one, Brian Hecker has led our team in a way that has allowed us to have freedom and assume responsibility while pushing us to work hard at the same time Coach Hecker set the pace for what the season was going to be like heading into winter break, a season defined by team bonding and hard work, an agenda we all absorbed during our training trip to Florida From van wars to midnight practices, our team came together in Florida in more ways the one After Florida we intensified our training, because everyone knew what he had to do and we managed to push through the hard work and maintain team unity The familial character of this team came through at Easterns where even in the heat of high pressure the whole team was loose: laughing, having a good time, and cheering louder than any other school Although we did not do as well in the InterAc dual meets as we would have liked, at Easterns we

He has a very impressive sense of humor. Taking after his father, his skill to imitate people is remarkable. His wittiness is very unique. He is a neat and meticulous organizer. Thanks Alec, with much gratitude, for cleaning and organizing our garage and cupboards on each visit to Florida. He is also an effective leader with numerous ideas and ideals.

Alec has a character with diverse qualities for various interests He is an allaround athlete demonstrating his hard work with great success in sports, notably track, baseball, and golf He has been Grandpa Vez's pride and joy to play Golf with since Alec was seven. His love for music is also demonstrated with the Penn Charter Jazz Ensemble

Alec’s self-confidence, self-determination, and self-decisiveness will carry him over to fulfill his dreams in the future. His intellect with his creative and imaginative mind will surely help him to fulfill his dreams.

Alec, we are honored with your academic, athletic, and artistic achievements over the years. Your devotion to your family is admirable. We wish you the best of luck, love, and much happiness, which you well deserve.

We still remember the first day you went to pre-school like it was yesterday On that day, we were nervous to send you away from us It still feels like that same day is back again as you prepare to head off to college and beyond. Now, as it was then, we could not be more proud of you. You have grown from our little princess, running barefoot, and wishing upon stars, into a beautiful young woman, filled with compassion. You managed to survive growing up with four older brothers with humor and grace Always know, no matter where you are, you will always be our little girl and your brothers’ little sister. We will forever be there for you. Congratulations, Bean!

With all our love always and forever, Mom, Dad, Greg, Geoff, Garrett and Griffin

Dear Alec, Congratulations! We always knew this day would come, but not this soon What we did know was what an amazing young man you were and the man you are becoming. What you have can’t be taught or instilled. You are caring, smart, compassionate and a gentleman. With these traits you can only succeed and make a difference in the world. Whatever you choose to do, don’t change who you are or what’s important to you We can’t wait to see the great things you are going to do. Always know that when you stumble or fall, you have your family who will always be your greatest fans.

We love you! Mom and Dad

Know what makes your graduation extra special? It’s having watched you grow up, having so many good memories of you and knowing all the challenges you ’ ve worked through to get to this day

“The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming... who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

Theodore Roosevelt

Happy Graduation to a true “warrior at heart!”

When we look at you, we see someone who has the intelligence and focus to do whatever he can dream. We hope you feel proud on your graduation day and confident in your ability to rise to your next challenge.

God bless you now and always. Love and best wishes always,

Penn Charter 2015 Class Record Spring Supplement

Commencement: 6 June 2015

We are lucky that we are able to graduate in the same year as one of the most important birthdays of our school’s history, the 325th anniversary. We have been a part of traditions that date all the way back to 1689; when I think about all of the classes that have graduated before us, I feel so privileged to be a part of a family that is just as old as the original English Bill of Rights

Although we have many similarities that connect us with those who have graduated before us, we have still developed our own personality, which makes the class of 2015 unique We have been leaders in every aspect of Penn Charter life, and we have all taken full advantage of the numerous opportunities that were given to us From the very beginning of the school year, we began planning the ways we would make this year unforgettable From the 325th celebration to our senior rafting trip, there have been defining moments of self expression, growth on all levels, and a boat load of fun

I believe to be successful, you just have to realize that you have a light… a light that is different from all others, but equally bright It’s the most important aspect of Quakerism that this institution could ever teach us I know that each and every one of you will use your Light to illuminate something truly special in the world I can look into all of your eyes and know that you have a dream, a dream you may have kept hidden from the world. You may have delayed it or been told that it wasn’t realistic. I need you all to know that you can no longer delay it: no more procrastination. We all have to live our dreams now because they are possible See, this moment is precious; we have to be in it and make the most of it before it’s gone forever We are here at commencement; a time for us to celebrate being born anew We are lucky enough to experience the rebirth of ourselves at the same time as the rebirth of our school. We will change the world, we will fulfill our potential to succeed in society. So let us all renew our souls and chase away the ghosts that lurk in the darkness, and step into our light Thank you - Jelani Buie

I think “an overwhelming heat” is a great way to describe the passion, excitement and innovation that our teachers and the administration have shared with my classmates and me during our time at Penn Charter. There’s also an overwhelming heat that compels us to make change and inspires passion through application While some classes may seem irrelevant to the real world, each class provides students with skills that they are able to apply to their everyday lives. Some concepts may never relate to nonacademic settings, but the critical thinking skills we have developed when attempting to argue with our teachers about the lesson plan or complain about how many pages we had to read in English class will We have learned to debate our own opinions and points, even if our appeal for less homework will always be rejected, always without fail. ...

I have never felt limited in my time at Penn Charter because if there was something that I wanted to do, I knew there would always be an avenue to pursue that interest This year alone, I was able to learn about issues in diplomacy, racism in cinema, and Wissahickon Schist, a rock that lines the trails of the Wissaickon and faces many of our buildings on campus. These classes were the first direct connection I saw between my Penn Charter education and my future in “the real world ” The culture at this school encourages students to do our best, take risks and try new things And this preparation has given us the ability to invent, to innovate, to make changes, to reach out to communities in need and work for the greater good, because that’s what we’ve been instructed and inspired to do during our time at Penn Charter.

Whether you have attended Penn Charter for thirteen years, five years, or even two, I know you have “un calor agobiante” inside of you. That “overwhelming heat” that encourages you to act when others might not be inspired or to try something new when others doubt your idea The heat is there because our school has taught us how to be passionate, how to be opinionated, and how to overcome challenges that we no doubt will face when we walk off this patio today, past our security blanket of the Wissahickon Schist walls and red doors into the real world, armed with all of the lessons that seemed completely useless, but promise somehow to allow us to resolve and overcome challenges in our lives Thank you classmates, faculty and thank you Penn Charter -Sylvia Miller

Captains: Kayla Quinn and Eileen Hennessy

From the start, we knew this was a special team, in a special season The first inklings of how good PC Softball 2015 could be came in Myrtle Beach, against quality opponents Then we went through the InterAc like a hot knife through butter, with only SCH refusing to succumb to the mercy rule, and EA playing tenaciously to defend their title But the “kairos” moment, when we knew destiny beckoned, was Kayla tagging up and scoring on a pop-out to the EA catcher Kayla seized the opportunity, and we seized sole possession of first place. We secured our spot in school history with Doc’s 300th PC victory on May 1st; we solidified PC Softball as the school’s winningest girls program with our 7th InterAc crown; and we captured our first independent school state championship by vanquishing EA once again A solid defense behind our crafty pitchers shut the door on opposition offenses, and aggressive hitting and baserunning gave us insurmountable leads game after game A near-perfect balance of patient coaching, confident leadership, and impressive young talent made PC Softball in 2015 very special, indeed

The baseball team took to Clearwater, Florida for spring training to begin our season. The Quakers won the majority of games down there, and it looked to be a promising start to the whole season. It was good to see a bunch of younger players take control and feel more comfortable on the diamond, which was beneficial as the season progressed We fought hard in the league, beating the state champ Malvern in league play We ended up going 5-5 in the InterAc and we also made it to the semifinals in the Independent State Tournament Before losing our last game in the tournament, we had won six straight games and were starting to figure out how to work and play together. We were missing some of our main pitchers due to injuries, so Harrison Timberlake, Kyle Konowal, and Dillon Malandro all stepped up to play a huge part in our success The Quakers might not have repeated as league champs, but they were winners, and earned respect

The 2015 Penn Charter girls lacrosse team started its season with its third head coach in three years, John Curtain Curtain got up to speed on the program quickly, and took the team to Florida, where the Quakers were not only undefeated on the lacrosse field, but they also learned a lot on the beach, and at the resort Overall it was a memorable experience for all. Once back home, the Quakers faced very tough InterAc opponents League play began with a win in a tough fought game against Springside Chestnut Hill. A highlight of a competitive season was the exciting sudden death overtime win against the Hill School in the PAISAA tournament. The Quakers ended their season losing to the eventual league and state champions in the quarterfinals Other highlights of the season included Avery Shoemaker scoring her 200th goal and being named First Team All-InterAc again Hannah Fox was named to Second Team AllInter-Ac, as well as being named a U.S. Lacrosse Academic All-American Also named Academic All-Americans were Abby Evans and Sarah Fleming

Once again, PC Boys Lax faced a daunting schedule of nationally-ranked schools before standing up to the No. 1 team, which happened to be in our own league Our dedication and hard work throughout the offseason, whether it was lifting in the weight room, running around East Falls, or working on throwing and catching, allowed us to be in the position to compete. Everyone came together as a team and began to do the little things right, just as the coaches stressed Despite a formidable defense, anchored by all-area junior goalkeeper Sean McKee, the Quakers could not muster a consistent attack for the winning edge. Time of possession and shots on goal favored the opposition too often to give the long sticks much rest. In the first round of the InterAc Challenge, we faced rival GA for the third time The D held strong and we found ourselves beating GA to reach the Quarterfinal Round. With big shoes to fill on defense, the returning players have had some success, and valuable experience, to build on.

It was an uphill climb from the start for the Quakers this year in girls track Despite losing many seniors from last year, we had many successes Although we suffered through tough meets, we grew as a team The Quakers enjoyed a great season thanks to Felicia and Carolyn who went 1-2 at the InterAc Championships in the Triple Jump. Emily Smith came in 5th in the 800m and Zoë Moscovici tied for fourth in the pole vault, while Simone Butler came in 4th in the Shot Put. Under the leadership of our four captains, Kristina, Emily, Aminta and Carolyn, we had fun both on and off the track.

Early in the season, seven players participated in the New England Mid-Atlantic Tournament, competing against rivals and facing new opponents from the Northeast By the end of the season, PC tennis was 10-2 overall, in contention for the title up to the last match, and clinched second in the league over Episcopal Academy in a close 4-3 win Great season, boys!

TWe wish a happy retirement to two fantastic teachers, who served students and colleagues with grace, talent, and professionalism. Vicki Miles has been the Lower School Technology Coordinator for over 15 years, and successfully eased the transition of new learning tools in the classroom, culminating with the 1:1 Program The Upper School has been the primary beneficiary of Dana Toedtman’s patient, innovative approach toward strategic learning for 29 years as the Learning Specialist and Coordinator of the Support Team.

We note with sadness the death of longtime Science teacher and stalwart of the faculty, Alice M. Davis, Honorary OPC 1689, on April 16, 2015 Mrs Davis served as chair of the Science department, and she held the Pierre S. duPont Mastership in Science. Mrs Davis prepared her AP Chemistry students for a lifetime of scientific exploration, not just for an exam. Her ongoing education included a year spent in Italy to teach Physics in Rome and confer with other scholars to study the work of Galileo Mrs Davis was a consistently strong voice for academic excellence in all disciplines, and she encouraged students to follow their curiosity in and beyond the sciences She retired from PC in 2010
