Our Own Mr. Keating - Reverend John Large By Peter Megargee Brown '40

or those of you who are tired of being reminded to make new year's resolutions, or just plain sick of dwelling on the new year, we propose a recipe for time-gazing: a dash of the past, a pinch of the present, a sprinkling of the future. Allow this Bulletin to guide you like a recipe for looking, while inspiring you to cook up some action of your own—reciprocal expressions—not resolutions—of what that looking means to you. This issue, dedicated to St. Andrew's 60th birthday, encourages us to reflect. St. Andreans of all ages will enjoy Peter Magargee Brown's article on his "Keating," Don Large. This entertaining look at the SAS past conjures up memories of our own academic heroes. If you can remember a Keating, why not drop him or her a note; we don't know of any teacher who has been thanked too much. Now, in celebration of the present, note a new building on campus, Moss Annex, housing girls and a faculty apartment. And we can boast a booming admissions profile. Perhaps you might pass along an SAS catalogue to a young friend who might be interested in St. Andrew's. In terms of the future, we are thankful for biology teacher Peter McLean, who has initiated a whole forestry program and generated an awareness of the importance of maintaining the natural beauty of the campus for generations of students and wildlife to come. Help support these efforts, send along long-range suggestions of your own, or on your next visit to SAS take a turn on the expanded cross-country course. Join us in encouraging everyone to cultivate a stewardship whose roots go back to a great tradition and whose branches stretch out into a living, breathing goose-filled sky. Nostalgia and planning have their place, but an all-encompassing view has been, and always will be, the greatest tribute to the passing of time.

Land belonging to St. Andrew's has long served as a wildlife refuge which not only shelters the flora and fauna within, but assures animals of a place to rest without threat of being hunted or harassed by humans.


It was a cool, clear morning as we slipped our canoe into the Appoquinimink River just below Noxontown Pond. My wife, Carol Ann, Mac (our golden retriever), and I had borrowed the Stegemans1 canoe to explore an ecosystem somewhat different than the one upstream; below the dam, the tidal flow nourishes plant and animal life unlike that which prospers in the freshwater above. Among the pickerelweed and saltmarsh cordgrass, we observed fish spawning in the shallows, a fox trotting along the shore below the Washburnsf home, and two bald eagles soaring effortlessly near Hell's Island. We watched the activities of an assortment of other life including northern orioles, kingfishers, kingbirds, snowy egrets, great blue herons, ospreys and muskrats. It was then that I fully appreciated the treasure of natural resources that surround St. Andrew's and realized that these resources, so critical to the integrity of a natural area, were in need of continued protection and, perhaps, improvement. The environment surrounding the School has long been recognized as one rich in natural resources. Fertile ground, ample rainfall, tidal mixing, and proximity to the productive estuaries of the Delaware and Chesapeake Bays have combined to create a habitat well-suited for a vast and varied array of plants and animals. As part of the Atlantic fly way, thousands of birds migrate through the area and many remain for the winter to rest and feed. As in many parts of the world, local, natural habitats and the diversity of life within are vanishing rapidly; this diversity requires protection, and, to an extent, some exists. In reference to the worldwide loss of species primarily due to habitat destruction, noted biologist E. O. Wilson states: "The sin our descendants are least likely to forgive us is the loss of biological diversity." Today, in spite of conservation efforts, we lose about one species every four hours - an alarming rate considering over 50 percent of all our pharmaceuticals and nearly 75 percent of our potential cures for cancer are derived from naturally-occurring plants and animals.

Our Forestry & Wildlife Program IN DOING, WE LEARN TO CARE, TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY, TO CONTRIBUTE, AND TO BECOME BETTER STEWARDS. AND IN CARING FOR OURNATURAL RESOURCES WE ULTIMATELY TAKE BETTER CARE OF OURSELVES AND ENSURE OUR FUTURE. BY PETER MCLEAN 3


A

lthough Delaware has lost at least 25 percent of its wetlands and other important natural areas, some strides have been made toward securing what remains. Federal and state wildlife refuges and parks operate to protect some habitat, and a few private landowners have agreed to conservation easements or to maintaining their land in or close to its natural state. Land belonging to St. Andrew's has long served as a wildlife refuge which not only shelters the flora and fauna within, but assures animals of a place to rest without threat of being hunted or harassed by humans. Such a haven is becoming increasingly important as valuable habitat is threatened by widespread development focused on southern New Castle County. Recognizing the importance of not only protecting but improving the 2200 acres of habitat owned by St. Andrew's, members of the recently revitalized forestry and wildlife program have developed ideas for the sound management of School land and its natural resources as a wildlife refuge. Working with several natural resource professionals including Marianne Hardesty of the U.S. Soil Conservation Service, Mike Brown of the Delaware Forestry Division, and Stein Innvaer of the Wildlife Division of the Delaware Department of Natural Resources, we have recommended several measures. * ESTABLISH A WALNUT GROVE ON AN ACRE PLOT The trees will be planted in late fall (in about 20 hours with a crew of six) and maintained by the forestry and wildlife crew each winter. Walnut trees are planted with a tenfoot spacing. Christmas trees could be planted in between and harvested in the first ten years or so, leaving just the walnuts. At today's prices, an acre of walnuts in 40 years would be worth about $250,000. We could, perhaps, plant an acre of trees every ten years, thereby allowing for harvests in successive ten-year periods. Not only would this be a money-maker and a good project for our group, but simply planting trees is wise. • EXTEND THE TRAIL THAT FOLLOWS THE EDGE OF THE POND This trail will encourage people to enjoy the natural beauty of the pond

and woods. The border of woods that rims the pond should remain untouched. These woods should stay as old growth forest, providing cover, den sites, and food for wildlife, as well as protection for a valuable, productive body of water. On the campus proper, we need to be careful how much we clear in people's backyards; clearing just enough for a view should be the standard, and most trees, whether alive or dead, should be spared. Development should not occur within 300 feet of riparian areas. In some cases, the boundary may need to be more. • CONTINUE TO PROHIBIT HUNTING Animals simply need a place to rest. Although we could use a few less raccoons because they eat the eggs and young of ground-nesters, our land should continue to be a refuge for all animals. Efforts to curtail poaching need to be increased. Posted signs should be erected or reinstated. Small-scale development of those areas on the east side of the pond is a good idea as people living in those areas would have a vested interest in the land and act as stewards. • PLANT THE FILTER STRIPS THAT LIE BETWEEN THE CROP FIELDS AND THE WOODS' EDGE WITH WHITE CLOVER AND RYE GRASS The strips are currently in fescue which controls erosion, but clover will do the same as well as provide food for quail, rabbits, grouse, pheasants, deer, etc. Once planted, these strips should not be mowed until early-to-mid July to allow ground-nesters (quail, rabbits, etc.) to raise at least one brood. All fallow fields should be planted in clover as well, for the same reasons. • PLANT AUTUMN OLIVE OR LESPEDEZA TO "SOFTEN" THE WOODS' EDGE As it is now, there's an abrupt transition from grass to tall trees. Anything we can do to encourage cover and food in these thin strips would certainly benefit wildlife. In the corners of the fields, where the strips are generally wider, small food plots of millet, cowpeas, and buckwheat should be established; such plots will help wildlife needs for late winter foods. • BISECT THE LARGE CROP FIELDS WITH HEDGEROWS OF AUTUMN OLIVE OR HONEY-


SUCKLE These hedgerows would diminish surface erosion and provide runways for local movements of wildlife (escape cover), nesting cover, and food. Basically, wildlife needs the same things we do: food, water and cover. Hedgerows give access to all three. The plowing of all fields in spring rather than fall should be encouraged; residual crops provide cover and food for wildlife. • CLEAN UP THE JUNK PILES SCATTERED THROUGHOUT THE GULLIES AND FIELD EDGES They need to be inspected for toxicants and either covered or removed. Any future dumping by farmers who lease School land must be confined to the regulated School site. • BUILD WOOD DUCK AND BLUEBIRD BOXES AND OTHER HOMES FOR CAVITY NESTERS. Nest

sites for these birds are limited, and we should do whatever we can to promote their existence.

ST. ANDREW'S HAS ALREADY MADE SEVERAL IMPROVEMENTS The trail now extends from the far end of the cross-country course, out the peninsula and beyond, providing excellent views of the School and Noxontown Pond. On Earth Day this past spring, groups of students, faculty and staff removed debris from many of the gullies on the west side of the pond and planted food plots of sunflowers, lespedeza and millet along the woods' edge. Walnut and spruce seedlings were recently planted on the south side of Pell (Possum) Creek. With the cooperation of the farmers who rent our fields, we hope to enlarge existing filter strips with clover, rye and other grasses used by wildlife. Last spring, sixth former Greg Rhodes constructed several wood duck boxes, and he and Davey Staats from our maintenance crew built four osprey platforms, which we hope will be active this spring.

OUR FUTURE PLANS As an extension of these projects, members of the field and advanced biology classes will

monitor the biotic and physical components of our immediate environment. The research will emulate that performed in other parts of the country such as the long-term ecological monitoring studies at Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest in New Hampshire and of the barrier islands of Virginia. Considering the year-to-year variability in ecosystems, these studies have been or will be active in monitoring ecosystem fluctuations for many years. Given the ecological sensitivity of the area around St. Andrew's, and in light of encroaching development, we will devise means to measure the surrounding environment's physical and biological aspects. Such variables as migrating and breeding bird activity, fish and small mammal populations, and soil and water pH will be monitored. The data collected in and around Noxontown Pond will serve as a benchmark for neighboring ecosystems, particularly those altered by man's activities. Through the Technical Education Resource Center and The Global Ecology Lab in Boston (both supported by The National Science Foundation), we will correspond and share data with students in schools performing similar projects throughout the world. Plans are to expand the forestry and wildlife program offering two terms as an alternative to athletics. Hopefully other faculty members will take part. Community support of this and other programs, such as the School's recycling and adopt-a-highway programs, will not only heighten awareness and appreciation of our environment but will allow us to make a significant contribution to it. Obviously, there is much to do, but the means are as important as the ends. It is not enough to provide for an improved habitat and ensure its protection; the process is just as important. In doing, we learn to care, to accept responsibility, to contribute, and to become better stewards. And in caring for our natural resources we ultimately take better care of ourselves and ensure our future. In harnessing the enthusiasm and cooperation of members of our small community, we, perhaps, provide a model for others, and, hopefully, make a small contribution for generations of St. Andreans to come.

hen School opened in September, so did this new girls' dorm, adding space for nine girls and a faculty apartment. Adjoining Upper Moss by a glassed bridge outfitted with study carrels, the new building mixes the old and the new. Beautiful wooden banisters and thick moldings complement the stucco facade which matches the attached faculty garage, nearby Trapnell Alumni House and much of the housing across Washburn Cove. The three upstairs student rooms have cathedral ceilings; the downstairs double has its own bathroom. The two-story faculty apartment is outfitted with a sunken living room and a spiral stairway, circling behind a fireplace to the bedroom and bath on the second floor. It also has a small balcony and two bay windows facing east.


Trustees Take to the Classroom Many trustees began their Trustee Weekend early so that they could sit in on classes and get a feeling for the daily life of the School.

Counterclockwise: Judy Burgess, Parents' Representative and mother ofGenny Burgess '92, visits an English class; Bulent Atalay '58 visits a Western Civilization class; Charles Murphy '62 and wife, Katie, join students for lunch; Kent Sweezey ' 70 attends a VI Form religious studies course entitled "Sociological Perspectives on Human Communities."

erhaps one of the most significant effects that the movie Dead Poets Society has on all of us, long after we leave the theater, is the way it elevates the significance of teaching and forces all of us to think of the Keatings in our educational past, those individuals who brought learning to life. Surprisingly enough, when Robin Williams was asked by an interviewer to reveal his own Keating he named a St. Andrew's alumnus, John Campbell '54, his history teacher in the late '60s at Detroit Country Day School.

nd while we all, no doubt, have our Keatings, the following is one alumnus' view of an important Keating in SAS history. Peter Megargee Brown '40 delivered this tribute to former St. Andrew's chaplain and English teacher John Large at last year's Reunion. His talk will appear b^ as a chapter in his forthcoming book, One World at a Time: Tales of Murder, Joy and Love. ^

Our Own Mr. Keating Reverend John Large (1936-40)

and

Our Own Dead Poets Society BY PETER MEGARGEE BROWN '40

D

ead Poets Society was filmed on location at St. Andrew's and blew the minds of a cross-section of the American public. We all know that. Some of us have even seen the movie twice. There was a new teacher, Mr. Keating, who took over an English class of young, naive students and in the most startlingly unorthodox way inculcated values of life and literature, not ordinarily heard in uriniferous teenage dorms or dank gym locker rooms. To the closed American mind it is stimulating to watch Mr. Keating, subversively introducing beauty, eloquence and, yes, even poetry, romantic poetry at that, into the classroom of students suddenly blindsided by fresh ideas, unrealized, unappreciated, disallowed, until Robin Williams' Mr. Keating burst forth in all his incomparable and incorrigible spirit at St. Swithins in crusty olden days. Mr. Keating was a stick of dynamite thrust into a somewhat complacent institution somehow incapable of coping with his ingenious insights into secrets of how to live fully in a sordid and dangerous world. What you may not know is that at our school, St. Andrew's, we had our own Dead Poets Society. Mr. Keating is John Ellis Large, a Robin Williamesque, slim, affable, talky young clergyman who was hired by handsome founding headmaster Walden Pell in late 1935 (55 years ago) to take over the English class of a motley group of insensitive students whose sole wish was to graduate and vegetate in June 1940. Mr. Large, who introduced himself to the skep-

tical faculty as "Don," arrived at the School in the early fall of 1936 with a second-hand car, a brave new bride, Dorothy, a salary of $1,500 a year, and half a carton of Lucky Strikes. This sartorial chain smoker could blow circles in the faculty lounge that astonished novice smokers in the senior class. Mr. Large was summarily assigned a small apartment adjacent to Howard Schmolze, across the gully from the School and soon, on School's opening day, confronted those raw, suspicious, red-necked Third Formers' stubborn determination to resist introduction of any knowledge. Mr. Large had prepared and memorized his first presentation to us: "Gentlemen. Good morning, [no response] I am here to teach you English. The only thing today that separates us from our British cousins is our language, [pause] There are three kinds of literature: major, minor and mediocre. But more than appreciating major literature I want to interest you young men in poetry, [audible feet shuffling] By your Fifth Form year I expect to have you appreciating and writing romantic poetry, [groans] Romantic poetry that will touch your heart. . . and perhaps those young ladies you chose to love, [who is this guy?] To write well you must have fresh ideas without being fantastic, touch the sublime yet remain neutral, and know the human heart and make it speak . . . . [lifting gently from Voltaire's Candide] Vocabulary is important. You can't play a masterpiece symphony without adequate notes and instruments. You develop your rhythm, your flow and the words come down from your conscience and alight in the right place, seemingly as natural as breathing out and breathing in . . . . But to


By Christmas break, this Third Form English class had been exposed, against its mil, to more literature and poetry than its students (or parentsl) knew existed. attain creative excellence [his voice rising], first must come discipline and hard study of the best literature and poetry there is. [when will the bell ring?] Remember, boys, to avoid the banal. No excuse ever for the boring and the commonplace. Remember, too, that the essence of good writing is to put the usual word in the unusual place and the unusual word in the usual place. Don't grimace! I know that creativity is a gift, can't be forced like a hot house plant but can be nurtured . . . . As your teacher for the next four years I will expect to uncover in each of you a lively, awakening literary spirit that will give you happiness . .. because you will discern the beauty and glory that God has given us. We can pass on this torch to others and share in the illumination, [students look sideways at each other] Gentlemen, let us begin. William Gary Sibert, would you please rise and recite to the class your own favorite English poem?" [stunned silence from Sibert] "Well," Mr. Large continues, "perhaps we can begin with my own reading of Robert Browning's 'The Bishop Orders His Tomb' " By Christmas break, this Third Form English class had been exposed, against its will, to more literature and poetry than its students (or parents!) knew existed. A number of students began to speak up in class and the daily sessions became more of an excited give and take. Mr. Large, black suited, clergy white collar, brown suede shoe up on a chair, book in hand, acting as Socrates, asking questions, developing thinking out of the heads of students who never dreamed they would have an original thought. The pace quickened. The minds revolved. The class hour went by surprisingly quickly. We were urged to speak on our feet and to stop saying "uh, uh, uh," "you know," and "like" - - you know, uh, uh, like a pudding in a dish. Mr. Large's untraditional approach to teaching his English class raised eyebrows of the faculty, already well ensconced at the School in seniority and authority. Big Bill Cameron, dean of the School's English department, was too much of a gentleman to brand newcomer Large a nincompoop literary water bug, but jealous, acned senior students delighted in baiting Mr. Large in front of Mr. Cameron, exaggerating by extended anecdote

the goings-on in Large's notorious English class. Cameron would ceremoniously take off classic silver rim glasses, fold his arms over his Harris tweed coat and slowly growl, "Baa! Baa!" and "fiddle-de-de!," followed by faculty and students alike in hoots and hollers of suppressed derision and hand-to-mouth laughter. Large's English students would be required to take the College Board Examination in English, wouldn't they? They'll flunk, won't they - not knowing how to structure a sentence, ignorant of elementary grammar, witless about how to punctuate a stanza? All they know is an English poem about a man who could not stay with his love because he "loved honor" more. Mr. Large felt this continual backbiting and, in his own deep sensitivity, suffered for it.

Well into Dorothy's chocolate chip cookies, Mr. Large artfully developed, with acuity, an 'idea9 of our founding a school literary magazine. One Sunday in our Fourth Form year, in the spring, Don Large had some of his English class students to tea at his apartment across the gully. Among them, Bill Sibert (known as "Bucephalus," General Lee's horse); Henry Gibson (aristocrat) from the Main Line; Ross Macdonald, a scientific wonder boy; Powell Pierpoint, known as "Pop" because of his exceptional maturity and intellectual capacity brought with him from Pittsburgh; Tom Bright whose perceptive eye launched the school photography club; Charles (Ricky) Lewis, continued on page 18

Evening o The Ongoing Occasion for Stewardship

12

C / he celebration / began at -^~ Homecoming last fall when class agents, their spouses, faculty and friends joined together to toast the School's 60th birthday. Beneath red and white helium balloons and glittering confetti, the candles on an array of birthday cakes were blown out in a simultaneous breath, symbolizing the life that St. Andrew's generates through people. Annual Fund Chair Tom Hooper '71 and History Department Chair Nan Mein reflected on the St. Andrew's of yesterday and today, illuminating that special quality and spirit of the School which we all cherish and which is worth working to preserve. Perhaps some of Tom's and Nan's observations about the School can help rekindle those feelings for you as they did for the audience that night. Better yet, think of their words as some answers to the question: "What is St. Andrew's?"


* (^A place that when, as students, you were asked to contribute, you did not lust play one sport, you played two or even three. Those of you who might have chosen to otherwise limit your extracurricular activities found that the School also needed you to serve on the vestry and the Honor Committee, to act in a play and tutor small kids in Middletown—all in the same year. fa ^A'place that, like many schools, produces students who are academically successful. A place that teaches the importance of service toothers. Our School sends out graduates who maintain a sense of moral balance in today's "me-first" world. fa <^Acoeducational place. Women are now a matter of course: teaching, studying, coaching, playing, running dorms, administering, admitting. We have a female ordained chaplain on the faculty.

\

fa ^An ethnically, culturally and geographically diverse place. The number of SAS students of African, Asian and Latino ancestry has slowly but steadily grown from none, to 12 in 1970, to 20 in 1980, to 36 in 1990. Add the ten students who are citizens of other countries, and this year's School has enough diversity to make a difference. fa Cx^ place where learning is both traditional and specialized. Our curriculum is conservative. Fashionable electives do not replace English, math, science, history, languages, or religious studies. Within our departments, however, there is a greater variety of courses. We try to keep up with current scholarship, improvements in teaching resources, a changing student body, parental demands, and college admissions requirements.

fa c/f place for the arts. Participation in the arts is now required for graduation, but goes far beyond that. At SAS, the arts are for everyone. More is offered-, more is demanded-, more is achieved. fa Cxf place that, in many ways, never changes. As you come up the main drive, you feel a wave of nostalgia as you see the faculty houses, the Main Building (now called Founders' Hall), the pond-, the trees are quite a bit taller, but that's all. An award-winning boathouse stands at the head of VJashburn Cove. Girls' dorm space and faculty housing have been expanded, and one of the early faculty houses has become the Richard W. Trapnell Alumni House. * (^4 place for teenagers. Adolescents have not changed a whole lot, although their style is different-, every student has a lot more stuff and clutter. We still have family-style meals, and we still work on students' manners.

* Cxf place with a living spirit of faith. We still come together for required chapel services, and voluntary services on Thursday are planned and led by students. * L/fplace where students are encouraged to look beyond our sheltered campus and participate on an even greater level. Each form is now involved in local, national and global concerns, from improving our micro-environment to volunteering at Christiana Hospital or writing letters for Amnesty International. Through our companion relationship with St. Mark's, our sister school in a black homeland in South Africa, we have an opportunity to help others through donations and service.

* (^f lively and diverse place, where the basic tenants of faith and learning and right and wrong are still the same. A morally-balanced place. We send SAS students out into the world to be a part of that world—a thinking, feeling part... Amid cake crumbs and fallen confetti, the first of many celebrations ended. But the feelings that were re-affirmed are ongoing. Although 60 years have gone by and while well-timed changes have made important differences, it is still St. Andrew's, the Spirit and the School, that are so important and so beloved. A tradition of stewardship continues. Celebrate the occasion.

ime Magazine selected Richard Meyer's design for the Kip duPont Boat House as one of five buildings to be featured in the "Best Of '90" section in their yearend issue. The photo caption read, "For a prep school in Delaware, Richard Conway Meyer made an enchanting building, as graceful as the sculls inside. A gently sloped steel roof covers the business end of the boat house and the attached clubhouse, with its timber framing and clover-shaped arches, could make one yearn to be 16 again." The Beverly Hills Civic Center by Charles Moore, the restorations of Ellis Island, the Carnegie Hall Tower in New York City and Bright & Associates Headquarters in Venice, California also received praise. Richard Meyer has received four other major awards for his design, and photographs of the Boat House have appeared in numerous rowing and architectural design magazines this past year.

arl Walker '90 was named the Wilmington News Journal's High School Athlete of the Year for his many wrestling successes during his senior year. His high school glories include a 100-4 record, two State titles and a national championship. He was also a running back on the SAS (7-1) football team last fall. Last summer, Earl trained at the Foxcatcher Club in suburban Philadelphia and wrestled in the Junior Nationals in Iowa—his last high school meet. Now attending Brown University, he hopes to double major in economics and international relations, while continuing to wrestle. he Admissions Office reports that inquiries, visits and applications are up about 25 percent. In fact, we had more visits in October and November than ever before. Director Will Speers attributes this rise in activity to the increased travel during the last three years, girls' soccer, boys' lacrosse and the Dead Poets. This year, the entire staff has been busy taking SAS on the road, with Admissions Officer Ripley Greppin doing most of the travel. Admissions teas, hosted by parents and friends, have been held in the following states: Connecticut, Washington, D.C., Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts, Maryland, North Carolina, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas and Virginia. Will Speers thanks all hosts and hostesses for their efforts in organizing these receptions and encourages anyone with names of prospective students to pass them along by calling or writing him.

ll 17 members of the SAS Concert Choir are busily preparing for their 1991 spring concert tour of Czechloslavakia, Hungary and Austria, scheduled during the School's spring break. To help fund their trip, they are selling "A Festival of Christmas Music," a one-hour digital cassette, featuring "Parade of the Wooden Soldiers" and carol improvisations performed by director Marc Cheban on one of the largest pipe organs in the country found at Long-wood Gardens. Copies are still available for $15 plus $2 for postage and handling. ($12 of this amount goes directly to the Concert Choir.)

hree of Peter McLean's advanced biology students have undertaken an ambitious project; Sam Stegeman '91, Andrew Butters '91 and Jason Woody '91 have begun identifying and tagging the trees of St. Andrew's. By composing descriptive labels, and having a company make professional tags, the students propose to affix these labels to about 36 trees on the main campus. "While many of the trees are pretty typical to a deciduous forest," says Peter, "there are a few exotics on campus." r

e can thank Lane Montesano, father of Elizabeth Roach, for the "Gateways to [ Excellence" poster. Lane, a photographer who has long admired the archways and icons of SAS during his many trips from Buffalo to visit his grandchildren, has accumulated an impressive collection of photographs over the years. This poster represents the culmination of a lot of hard work and a gifted eye. (He has created similar posters for many colleges and universities.) We thank him for immortalizing St. Andrew's architectural beauty.

hree seniors have recently had a thorough introduction to the U.S. legal system. In December Scott Henderson '91 represented his home state of New Jersey at the National Young Leaders Conference in Washington, D.C., where he studied the three branches of government with other Congressional Scholars from around the nation. Both David Rich '91 and Ruben Amarasingham '91 attended Delaware Boys' State. David (elected Lieutenant Governor) and Ruben (elected Secretary of State) helped represent SAS at the 53rd session of Delaware Boys' State in Dover last June. Chosen by the SAS faculty to represent the School, David and Ruben spent a week living at the Delaware State College campus and attending

Ruben had the opportunity of meeting the President, the Vice President and their wives. He and the other "senators" also had the satisfaction of knowing that what they were doing was not in vain; any bill that passed would be presented to President Bush by the American Legion "to give the President an idea of what distinguished American youth feel about issues of national scope."

Artist Peter Brooke Enjoys National Recognition

S

t. Andrew's art teacher Peter Brooke was selected to receive a $2000 fellowship grant from the Delaware State Arts Council under the Individual Artist category. Samples of Peter's work were evaluated by the assistant curator of painting at the Hirshorn Museum who commended him on his "wide range of media from ink drawing to oil painting" and recommended him for a fellowship. With his grant, Peter plans to continue work on his Delaware landscape painting, "a group of paintings," says Peter, "that integrates the history, vulnerability, and obscure beauty of the environment that I live in." Last summer, several of Peter's works were selected by the curator of prints and illustrated books at the Museum of Modern Art to appear in "At the Edge II: A National Print and Drawing Exhibition." Peter was one of 46 artists whose work was chosen from 600 submissions to appear in an exhibition touring museums, university galleries and community art centers from last October to this summer. From fall 1991 to October 1993,

"At the Edge II" will be booked by Exhibits USA, affiliated with MidAmerica Arts Alliance, in a six-state region. Peter's work, Swamp #2, one of ten pieces selected to receive an honorary Juror's Merit Award, appears in the exhibition catalogue. A magna cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa graduate in fine arts from Denison University, Peter received his MFA from Mount Royal School of Painting and was a member of the teaching faculty at the Maryland Institute College of Art. When he is not teaching or painting in his Middletown studio Peter can be found mountain biking and hiking through the endless cornfields surrounding Noxontown Pond.

Our Mr. Keating - Continued from page 9 popular, witty, leader of the class; Arthur BrownSherman who had fantasies of leading armies into battle against Philistines; red-haired Dan Phelan who told us perfumed secrets about the facts of life and his torrid affair with a 14-year-old Brooklyn girl named Joy Shapiro; and Bob (Cheese) Whyte who glowed under the shelter of his older brother Holly who already had established a record as an indefatigable School publication writer and local guru. Well into Dorothy's chocolate chip cookies, Mr. Large artfully developed, with acuity, an "idea" of our founding a school literary magazine. The thought, which he adroitly attributed to us, became The Andrean. We would publish it ourselves with our own stories, articles, poetry, Sibert's woodcuts and Bright's photographs. The printer in Wilmington would be paid from the School budget, albeit reluctantly. We slaved away joyously until we had proofs of a first edition, artistically and prudently censured by our mentor Don Large. With high hearts and anticipation we awaited delivery of the first issues of The Andrean, out by the School garage in the company of Steve Foley, a cheerful charter member of the School's maintenance staff. But the van never arrived because (we suspected) Teddy Austin and other seniors had waylaid the delivery, purloined the 150 copies, taken them surreptitiously through the back woods and dumped them contemptuously in the bowels of the lower gully near the miasmic old boathouse. Eventually our sad search party deciphered the whereabouts from anti-intellectual taunts from some know-nothing seniors. We located the dump and rescued enough copies, unspoiled, to titillate ourselves as noble editors and divinely to cause further friction upon dissident faculty and envious seniors. Publishing, we told ourselves, is a daring and difficult profession. Mr. Large was not only a fine writer, inspiring teacher, story-teller and friend, he also was an eloquent speaker. He was instantly so much better than those about him that his shine caused both admiration and envy. He saw in the development of his life, his seizing of his day, that after our graduation (completion of his first class of students) he should leave St. Andrew's and accept an offer of a cardinal parish in Wilmington, to be its rector. A St. Andrew's trustee of character and pecuniary strength was senior warden, and he'd come to admire Don's eloquence in the chapel of St. Andrew's. "We don't have much of a congregation, Reverend," Mr. Henry told him, "but we'll make you welcome and comfortable." Don Large had vision. He looked to the horizon. There were worlds to conquer. He had a long way to go,

before that sad day 40 years later, when the Sarasota Yacht Club put its flag at half mast in memory and respect for their beloved chaplain Commodore emeritus. I telephoned the Reverend John Ellis Large from New York City in the 1950s, finally got through to him over a protective secretary. I was visiting Wilmington over the weekend, I told him. I would like to visit his church and hear his sermon. "Well, Peter," Don said, "if you're serious, you'd better come early." The church was packed at 10:30 a.m. for an 11 o'clock service. This was generally true, I found, from after Labor Day until Memorial Day. Don Large's renown traveled, and people continued to admire and envy. In earlier days at St. Andrew's, seated at his table in the dining room (to his left as a student waiter), he would take my arm and say: "How can you, a purported Christian lad, be so hypocritical to attend in New York City the Church of the Heavenly Rest (such a sonorous name), where ushers wear striped pants and cutaways, and pews in a house of God are rented to socialites?" I was aghast at the attack and never could respond. What can you do? Lo! Revenge is sweet! In the 1960s I participated in calling upon Don Large to offer him the rectorship of the Heavenly Rest Church on Fifth Avenue at 90th Street. The Mr. Keating of St. Andrew's, again with vision, though a trifle embarrassed at the irony, accepted his calling to the Heavenly Rest (also called the Church of the Celestial Snooze) and there began a decade more of friendship, bright sermons, witty books and articles, and inspiring lessons about literature, poetry and life. By the time Don Large left the Heavenly Rest in the 1970s, he had accepted a call to a small mission church on the west coast of Florida. In a few years the parish in Sarasota was free of dependency on the diocese and became a thriving church with an uplifted, crowded congregation, drawing its numbers from varied denominations as well as beleaguered Episcopalians. Don Large finished his ministry strongly. When I visited him in the late 1970s, he was as charming and electric as ever, so happy to be semi-retired with Dorothy in a beautiful cottage surrounded by a lovely garden. We went to the Yacht Club for dinner. The waitress said as we entered, "Good evening, Father Large. It's nice to have our chaplain Commodore here tonight." She then brought to the table a miniature flag of the Yacht Club in blues and reds and golds. She turned to me. "He likes his flag. We like him." Carpe Diem. Carpe Lux & Veritas. D


A New Look at Modern Art with Kirk Varnedoe '63 HIGH

\ riM:; (DISREGARD

Lew A New Exhibit at the MOMA "High and Low: Modern Art and Popular Culture'' Exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art (October 7-January 15, 1991). Organized with art critic Adam Gopnick, [this exhibit] explores the two-way exchange of influences between the bold visionaries of modern art and the "low" untutored graffiti, tabloid slang, Krazy Kat comics and vivid ad images that energized them. (Reprinted from Metropolitan Home section of The New York Times, November, 1990). Kirk is the Director of the Department of Painting and Sculpture at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.

A New Book A Fine Disregard: What Makes Modern Art Modern, by Kirk Varnedoe, 1990, (304 p.), Abrams, $39.95. Mr. Varnedoe discusses certain painters and sculptors of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries— Manet, Degas, Gauguin, Rodin, among others— who, although trained in the conventions of their art, were struck by the idea that there could be other ways of seeing and doing, and who, acting accordingly and defying the rules, became pathfinders of the modern movement. This line of argument leads him to an interpretive history of the visual arts in the last hundred years or so that eschews determinist theories such as that modern art resulted from the dislocations of the Industrial Revolution, or from the advent of the camera or the impact of the artifacts of primitive tribal artists. The discussion is far-reaching, enlightened by a fine-tuned scholarship, and profusely illustrated. (Reprinted from The New Yorker, June 4, 1990).

SAS Gesellshaft

O

n July 28,1990, a group of St. Andrew's alumni living in Europe, specifically in Germany, came together with trustee Biilent Atalay '58 to form the SAS Society of Europe, St. Andrew's Gesellshaft.

Markus Pottgiesser '84 can be credited with organizing the Koln meeting; Markus and Iwan Antonow '80 will serve as the European coordinators. The German alumni who attended the meeting comprise a young and varied group, including an engineer, a physician, two medical students, one undergraduate and two graduate students. All feel a deep affection for St. Andrew's and an enthusiasm for the St. Andrew's Society of Europe. The organization proposes to work closely with the admissions office in recruiting and giving preliminary interviews to prospective students. They also hope to raise money for the School, especially to enhance the Alumni Memorial Scholarship Fund, and to organize annual reunions. Membership in the society is open not only to Europeans, but to all alumni living abroad. Parents and family members of alumni are also invited to join, but in a non-voting capacity. Founding members are: Iwan Antonow '80, Maria Antonow '82, Biilent Atalay '58, Alfons Gunnemann '73, Markus Pottgiesser '84, Dietrick vonStechow '85 and Jim Thomas '86. More recently inducted members include: Volker Hoffmann '66, Matthias Lilienthal '87, Mathias Renner '82, and Alexandra von Dewitz '88. The Society welcomes additional members. If you would like more information, contact Markus Pottgiesser, Hansaring 75, 5 Koln 1, Germany. D

To the Editor and SAS Alumni, Having learned that 1957 is one of the few classes whose column in this magazine is written by a member of the class (as opposed to the Alumni Office staff), I write to suggest that more classes accept responsibility for their own columns, for a number of reasons. First, it's a great service to St. Andrew's because you help strengthen class identity as well as foster interest in and loyalty to the School. Second, it's easy: three columns a year, as long or as short as you wish—a piece of cake for anyone who studied English at St. Andrew's. Finally, it's just plain fun. You're in regular contact with

20

your classmates, and you get to revive old friendships and even make new ones. I've found it to be a rewarding experience (just as I do as secretary of my Princeton class—only there we have 17 issues a year). I invite SAS alumni who'd like to give it a try for their own classes to be in touch with the Alumni Office, or to write me directly for suggestions and ground rules. - GEORGE A. BRAKELEY III '57 ED: That's a great idea. Let's have a class correspondent for each and every class.

Berlin, Maryland A Step Back in Time

H

istory buffs of the Victorian era take note: Tom Patton '51 and Ed Hammond '60 have been involved in several impressive restoration projects in the 19th century downtown area of their hometown of Berlin, Maryland, which is located just seven miles inland from Ocean City. Their projects have contributed to the town's recent renaissance. Two places of historical interest that have benefited from their efforts are the Atlantic Hotel and the Old Globe Theatre.

MEMORY

Scott Harrison Lytle '35 Scott died in Seattle July 21, 1990, of complications following surgery. Born October 12, 1918, in New York City, Scott was the son of Reverend R, Ridgely Lytle, an Episcopal clergyman, and Elizabeth Fine Sparks. A member of St. Andrew's first graduating class, Scott spent a year at Exeter before attending Princeton where he majored in history and graduated in 1940. He served in Counter Intelligence in World War II. After the war, he finished his Ph.D. in history at Cornell in 1948, taught at Princeton for one year and then at the University of Washington from 19491988. His specialty was French history, particularly the French Revolution. He taught three times in an exchange program in Avignon, France, and took two sabbatical leaves there. After his retirement, he and his wife, Meta, returned to the same village near Avignon for a nine-month stay. Scott is survived by his wife, Meta, and his children, Margaret, Sarah, Elizabeth, Susan and Scott.

Ed, along with nine partners, invested in the Atlantic Hotel and put together a partnership to restore the hotel. But Ed and his wife, Page, invested more than their pocketbooks in the hotel's renovation. Both avid antiquers, they contributed countless hours of their time, scouring antique shops for appropriate furnishings. Page, an art history teacher at Salisbury State College, called upon her knowledge of historical preservation for the project. She was directly responsible for furnishing the interior in authentic late-Victorian splendor, with extravagant window treatments, velvet settees, a charming upstairs parlor behind fringed drapes and a completely different decor for each room. Daughter Elizabeth '89 helped provide the manpower to actually carry in the pieces. The Hotel, reopened in August of 1988 and, run by Stephen Jacques and his wife, Pamela, has already won accolades from critics for its food and an award from Wine Spectator magazine for its wine list. Of special interest are the hotel's mystery weekends and an annual Christmas gala. Tom has focused his energies on the Old Globe Theatre; he directed the renovation and his daughter now manages it. Once the center of entertainment offerings in Berlin—a place to watch "silent flicks"—the restored theater houses a smaller theater along with exhibits, shops, a cafe and an art gallery, all of which are in keeping with the heritage of historic Berlin and its vicinity.

Don Tucker, the "youthful wonder," writes that his 13-year-old daughter is quite a "daddy's girl" and is a joy to her parents. Jim Duffy is living in Arlington, Mass., and teaching at Brandeis University and has had several children's books published in England. Tony Parrish writes that he has moved to Atlantic Beach, Fla., to the Fleet Landing Retirement Community—a full care facility. Although he is doing very well with his new hip, Anne had a bad fall in March, but both hope to be in attendance in June. Bob Whyte writes that he will fight to get Sam Hazard and Jim Duffy to Reunion. Sam is unreachable in France, so Bob plans to call him upon his return. Henry McCorkle, Bob Whyte and Jim Duffy had a '41 "mini-reunion" over Thanksgiving at Cape Cod. Henry is working as a docent for the Portland Museum and is on the publications advisory committee of the Diocese of Maine. Although Bob is retired, he still conducts a number of field sales and management workshops for his former employer. Bob has talked to John Ball, Henry McCorkle, Westie Fenhagen, Don Tucker, Jim Thomas and Bill Churchman - all of whom promised to be on hand June 7, 8 and 9. John Ball reports that he will be at Reunion and is currently Canon(ball) of Charleston Cathedral which was badly damaged by Hugo. There have been no services since, but he expects it to be fully rebuilt soon.


Betsy and Stocky Hopkins took a three-week trip to Florida and visited Jon in Easton on their return home. Peter Nalle has been far and wide from Mt.

He writes that he plans to "stay at home for the rest of the year so he can save up for the 50th Reunion!" Harding Hughes has been doing some "checking up" and writes that Jack Hanahan has officially retired as a minerologist at Belmont Abbey College in North Carolina but continues to help their development efforts. He is currently involved with the construction of a museum of North Carolina minerals for Grandfather Mountain. At the end of October, Jack was facing a hip replacement to correct a longstanding problem. Dunlap Shannon has been living in Hawaii since 1946, married Margaret, "the girl next door," and has two daughters and a son.

Westie Fenhagen, for the most part a very wellinformed individual, remains unaware of the human aging process. He and Betsy have a daughter in college and a son in high school. In September in the "line of alumni duty" (in which he is very active), he led an alumni group on an Aegean cruise. And from time to time, when the State Department gets into a pinch, they call Westie out of retirement to straighten something out in Washington or Moscow. Ridge Clark has retired from two 20-year careers— the first, in the regular army, and the second, as a teacher of visually handicapped students. He is living with his wife, Audrey, in Irwin, Penna., in the Pittsburgh area. Bill Van Leer writes that he is "looking forward to our 50th and showing off my newest grandson!"

It seems that Mr. Gorbachev was visiting Washington that day and was at the Russian Embassy at the precise hour that the wedding reception was scheduled at the University Club next door. "Boggles the mind," Joe notes, especially since the whole area was cordoned off. So the Secret Service escorted every single guest to and from the reception and "Gorby's security people saw the newly weds off." Sheilah's non-identical twin, Margaret, is an administrative aide to Congressman Coughlin (PA) and Jennifer '86 is assistant press secretary to Congressman Slaughter (VA).

Bill kept the crowd enthralled with tales of his recent travels through Europe.
