WINTER 1995

Noxontalk • • • here has been a lot of talk lately about the deterioration of children's values. Dr. Spock states in his JL latest book that one of the biggest crises facing families today is the absence of a sense of value or worth felt by children today. Without it they find themselves lacking direction or purpose. Their lives become meaningless, and many turn to suicide. It occurred to me that there is something about a school like St. Andrew's which helps break this pattern. The great number of our graduates who have chosen the teaching profession (please see "Alumni in Education," page 2), makes you realize that some real sense of purpose and values has been fostered here. The St. Andrew's experience makes students want to give something back to their community.

Maybe it is the traditional tone of the School, the Chapel program, the balance of academics, athletics and the arts or perhaps the fact that the faculty are raising their own families alongside the students.

No one is lukewarm about teaching; it is something teachers feel passionate about, and it is a profession which defines their lives. Thomas Washburn '76 says teaching at a boarding school is not just a job but a lifestyle. And Dallert Hemphill '75 says that she has always regarded teaching as compatible with raising a family. Teaching, then, takes on an almost old-fashioned sense of meaning in today's fast-paced world. It defines a healthy structure and framework while offering endless opportunities of growth. Listen to the genuine enthusiasm in statements such as: "I wanted to learn while working."

—Eric Gamble '84 "St. Andrew's inspired me to do my best; it taught me how to achieve my goals and to work to the best of my ability."

—Stephen Billhardt '83 "I can honestly say that I have the greatest job in the world."

—Karen Pupke '87 "I think my love of everything St. Andrew's offered me helps me to inspire others."

—Ann S. Chilton '85 "Teachers serve as role models for youngsters; they need us."

—Viviana R. Davila '85 "I wanted to talk to people about subjects I genuinely care about."

—Carey McDaniel '90 While pondering why so many of his classmates have chosen teaching, Ashton Richards '78 agrees that the seeds were sown during their years at St. Andrew's.

"SAS doesn't get tangled up in minutiae; the School is driven by bigger issues such as compassion, empathy and caring for people. This, along with a pristine, beautiful setting, inspires the students to want to help others."

Ridie Lazar '90 discusses her future as a journey back to capture that setting: "The way back into boarding school life is as a faculty member."

I, for one, am happy to know that St. Andrew's is helping to reverse or at least defy the national trend of apathy and despondency. And I don't mean to suggest that teaching is the only worthwhile profession to pursue.

No matter what profession our graduates choose, as long as they can hold onto that sense of meaningfulness and a lifestyle of purpose, then the right values, the rich and timeless ones, can be reinforced for the children to come.

Alumni/ae in Education Questionnaire How long have you been working in education?

Why have you chosen a career in education?

What led you in this direction?

How have you grown and developed as an educator? What have been the challenges and rewards?

What strengths do you feel you have to offer in your profession?

Does working in an academic environment shed any new light on your experience at St. Andrew's? Do you draw upon any specific experiences or former teachers as inspiration?

lowly, at first, we became aware that a number of our recent graduates have chosen careers in education. Phone calls asking for advice on how to land a job came with ""% increasing frequency. At Homecoming in the fall or Reunion Weekend in June, graduates would tell us they were teaching at Taft or Hotchkiss or working in the admissions office at The Episcopal High School, Kent or some other school. We don't have accurate statistics on the occupations of our alumni/ae, but we began to sense that more than a handful were pursuing careers in education.

During the summer, I asked our Alumni/ae Office to gather data on this subject. Information came largely by word of mouth or reports in the Class Notes section of the Bulletins, so we are quite sure some alumni/ae who are working in schools and colleges are not included in our tally.

To this group we apologize and ask that you let us know who you are. We would like to add you to our list.

By our very rough estimate, a minimum of 34 students who graduated from St. Andrew's between 1978 and 1990 are working at a school or college in one capacity or another. We don't know what a similar query would produce at other schools, but we sense that the St. Andrew s number is high.

The reasons we are publicizing this phenomenon are probably obvious. We can't think of a profession which needs good men and women more than education, and we believe St. Andrew s graduates are particularly well prepared to contribute their skills and values. It is also flattering that so many young men and women with whom we have worked and lived want to pursue careers like ours. Most important of all, we think the St. Andrew s brand of education is very good. There is no better way to spread its worth than through the efforts of disciples.

To all of you who teach or work in our nation s schools and colleges, both public and private, our congratulations, our thanks and our best wishes.

Bulent Atalay '58 POSITION:

Professor of Physics STUDENTS:

College and Graduate School INSTITUTION:

Mary Washington College/University of Virginia/The Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton University have been in education—at the receiving or the disbursing end—virtually all of my life. After leaving St. Andrew's, I went to Georgetown and majored in physics, math and philosophy and, subsequently, did graduate and post-doctoral work in theoretical nuclear physics at Georgetown, Princeton, University of California—Berkeley and Oxford. I had initially hoped to go into medicine, but someone at Georgetown misread my application form—my aspiration to become "a physicist" rather than "a physician." Thus, I was accepted into the former program, and I found that I rather enjoyed it. After my freshman year when I won a NATO Scholarship for all undergraduate and graduate work in nuclear physics, the die was cast and the past was past. I was to become a physicist.

As a graduate student one always gets pressed into giving some lectures. But, it was at some illdefined juncture that I permanently traded one side of the classroom for the other.

As a student for 24 years, I must have taken classes from scores of teachers; but, quite frankly, some of the very best teachers I have seen were those I had at St. Andrew's. Chester Baum was my "Mr. Keating" (of Dead Poets Society). The material I teach—often arcane topics in physics— is usually very different from anything I saw at St. Andrew's, but I would hope that I imbue in my students a modicum of the enthusiasm for learning that my teachers did in me at St. Andrew's.

Indeed, other than a keen knowledge of one's subject and the ability to communicate it, perhaps the single greatest attribute a teacher can have is an infectious enthusiasm for learning.

I

My Personal Manifesto for Good Teaching First, I prepare meticulously for my lectures and never use notes—whether in low-level classes or ones which call for endless mathematical derivations. This, coupled with the experience of years, enables me to make up problems spontaneously in class—problems which are topical and consequently more pedagogically worthwhile than the usual

problems found in textbooks. Despite being a theorist and unabashedly preferring mathematics to laboratory work, I realize that all the "beautiful mathematics" I use is just beautiful mathematics and nothing more, unless it has experimental basis.

For this reason, I design as many short demonstration experiments as possible for my lecture classes.

Indeed teaching mathematics courses for the University of Virginia has served to keep my hand in pure mathematics and to bridge the training of my physics students at Mary Washington College with the mathematics courses they take simultaneously.

In the lectures I continually strive to bring out the interdynamics of disparate disciplines. Just as I, personally, have deep interest in many areas, I encourage my students to seek diversity and to take courses in philosophy, music, art, history, etc., beyond what is merely required. For my part, some of my best lectures are the ones in which I digress from the syllabus and demonstrate symbiotic relationships, such as in the use of cosmic radiation to map out the internal structure of Egyptian pyramids; the application of symmetry principles of mathematics to the search for new laws of nature, or alternatively to the analysis of art composition; or demonstrating statistical methods with psychological testing, before applying them to some of the cold numbers of physics. It is a gratifying experience to see students making their own connections between disparate disciplines.

Almost 400 years ago, an Italian monk named Giordano Bruno was burned at the Inquisition's stake for his teachings on behalf of a sun-centered universe. Bruno was an early victim of "Publish and Perish." Nowadays, in academia, we operate with the dictum, "Publish or Perish!" Most good scientists, however, do not regard this as a threat, because by their very training, they are in the business of satisfying their professional curiosities.

Thus, research and the attendant publication are viewed as privileges rather than as unpleasant problems. Ultimately, this work can be of immense value in the teaching process. Balancing the time for teaching and research, on the other hand, is a very real problem. I have had to put the research aside entirely while concentrating on the teaching and, during the summers, to reverse the process.... I still go to Oxford or the Institute for Advanced Study for the research component of my work. At those hallowed grounds one finds the opportunity to collaborate as well as the inspiration provided by these institutions' history. Einstein spent the last 25 years of his life at the Institute for Advanced Study.

Ashton Richards 78 leading a history class in the 1980s.

Ashton Richards '78 POSITION:

Dean of Students, History Teacher, Dorm Head STUDENTS:

Seniors (works with all students) INSTITUTION:

Episcopal High School, Alexandria, Va. his is my twelfth year of teaching. I remember on the night of my graduation from SAS, sitting with classmate Jeff Chase in Headmaster Jon O'Brien's study discussing what we would do after graduation from college. Jeff wanted to become a doctor, and he did. I said that I thought teaching looked fun and interesting, and Jon told me to keep him posted. I returned to SAS to teach five years later.

There are two or three fabulous people at SAS who served as role models. Nan Mein instills an energy and interest in history and teaching. Bob Dobson, sadly no longer with us, had a gentleness, kindness and intensity toward having healthy and happy kids. Bob Colburn, who was my class advisor and coach, has a tremendous passion for what he is doing. He injects his athletes with his enthusiasm. He is both demanding of excellence and someone who communicates so that adolescents understand. Also, I had inspiration to enter teaching from my family, who all have pursued serviceoriented professions. My dad, who is in the ministry, has had an impact on my career and choices.

T

I taught for nine years at SAS. I came in full of vim and vigor, espousing the traditions that I had lived in the '70s. By the time I returned in 1983, some of those traditions had been discarded; and finally I said, "So what, maybe it's healthier this way." My colleagues helped me down that road.

As an educator, being in an environment with so many talented faculty members was a tremendous learning experience; their influence and patience was important. Also, the School's philosophy of helping faculty grow by financially supporting professional development has made a big difference.

This allowed me to work toward my master's degree from Wesleyan University.

In recent years, I have felt challenged by what I fear is an increasingly narcissistic type of student.

I try to get them to see in a larger field of vision.

When you can do that, there are larger rewards.

These rewards are especially poignant and tangible in the athletic setting when I am coaching. It provides a compressed period of time when kids can extend themselves and take risks. They can step out of gender biases and see themselves in a new light as athletes and competitors.

I feel I offer my students consistency, wit and compassion, having been a product of boarding school myself. And by taking graduate courses, I have a greater appreciation for the learning process and a genuine enthusiasm for history. Hopefully, this displays itself in the classroom.

My SAS classmates and I have noticed that one of the great legacies of the School is that many of its graduates have found themselves in teaching or other service-oriented professions. There is something about the School that leads people in this direction. SAS doesn't get tangled up in minutiae; the School is driven by bigger issues such as compassion, empathy and caring for people. This, along with a pristine, beautiful setting, inspires the students to want to help others.

Richard ]. (R.J.) Beach '82 POSITION:

Social Studies Teacher, Basketball and Baseball Coach STUDENTS:

Grade 5 INSTITUTION:

Christ Church Episcopal School, Greenville, S.C. am a fifth-grade social studies teacher and upper school athletic coach (basketball and baseball). I am in my fifth year of teaching (previous four years were at Tower Hill School in Wilmington, Del.).

What first drew me to education was the opportunity to coach athletics. I have always loved sports—I won the Henry Prize at SAS. I majored in geography in college and thought about returning to SAS to teach. I ended up spending the year after college in Europe playing basketball and selling cars. Then, pursuing another interest of mine, music, I worked in the marketing department at RCA Records. Still not happy, I decided to teach and coach.

I find that fifth graders are fun to teach. They are at an age when they are trusting and open to learning; they haven't shut themselves off from authority yet. The biggest challenge for me has been trying to accommodate all the learning styles out there. I started teaching the way that I wanted to be taught and then discovered that different children learn better from different teaching styles.

I think I am good at discipline and at being a role model. I also show a lot of interest in what students are doing outside of school. I feel lucky in that I teach in the lower school and coach in the upper school, so I have contact with lots of kids and even more opportunities to witness their growth.

My whole experience at St. Andrew's led me into teaching. I was especially influenced by my dealing with Tad Roach and Will Speers; they are both inspirations for me. I was impressed with Tad's coaching, the way he dealt individually with each player. And I was amazed at the results that they got out of everyone.

I

Stephen L. Billfiardt '83 POSITION:

Head of Lower School STUDENTS:

Grades 1-5 (200 plus students) INSTITUTION:

Univ. Liggett School, Grosse Pointe Woods, Mich.

began working in education in August of 1988.

I worked with eight boys who were emotionally disturbed and had learning disabilities. They were aged 8-11. That summer I worked with secondary school students at Salisbury Summer School. This focused on remedial reading, writing and English skills. In the fall of '89,1 entered into a master's program with The Shady Hill School and Lesley College. I spent a semester each in a split first/second grade classroom and a fourthgrade classroom while doing course work at both institutions. I found my own classroom in Vermont the next year. I stayed there for three years and taught first through fourth grades. (Two of the three years I had mixed classrooms, first/second and third/fourth.) Last year I was back in postgraduate work at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. During this time, I worked on getting licensed as a principal and spent two days a week in a public elementary school in inner-city Boston.

I found the job here at University Liggett School and couldn't pass it up. I do have the desire to be in the public sector, but this opportunity here will give me the experience and knowledge necessary to lead a troubled public school.

I have always credited my involvement in education to the Big Brothers program. I participated for three of my four college years. I spent all three years with the same child, Robert. I felt that the time I spent with him was helping him to learn and progress. I also knew that he had some learning disabilities, but I was as yet untrained. During college, I thought that I was heading into the business world, but my calling is helping children and students learn.

Working with experienced and talented leaders has offered me the most growth. To see how they move a faculty and town in a positive direction is encouraging. Working under poor leadership has also given me tremendous insight into what is necessary to become a good principal. People who lead schools have a great potential to develop and shape a faculty, be it young or old. My past year at Harvard also taught me that a name is not what makes an institution or a school. The school is only as good as the faculty and staff within it. It is up to the head to promote staff development and growth and to be aware of progressive trends in the field.

The rewards are obviously working with the children so that they learn and develop in a positive way. I love my profession, so it is wonderful going to work in the morning. Teaching is also a profession that people share and work together for the benefit of the children.

The challenges are the children as well. Placing expectations on the children is positive, and it sends

I

ALUMNI/AE IN EDUCATION

a message to the child that you believe in her/him.

All children do not learn at the same rate, and thus it is sometimes frustrating to see a child not understand. This is when we try alternative approaches.

We keep trying until all children "get it."

I feel that I have the greatest strength of all, love of teaching and a love of working with students.

Given this attitude, I believe that I have a great deal to offer the profession. I also know that I am very fortunate to have attained a position such as head of a lower school at the age of 29. I know that I will have an impact on implementing educational change and reform in the field. I have the time, energy, commitment (and even authority) to implement positive change.

Looking back at all of my educational experiences, I still draw on St. Andrew's as the best three years' for me. As I previously stated, it is not the name of an institution that makes it a good learning environment for the students within it; it is the faculty that encourages the students. St. Andrew's inspired me to do my best; it taught me how to achieve my goals and to work to the best of my ability. My study habits were formed during my three years at SAS; and they, along with other traits, have given me the necessary skills to achieve the goals in life that I aspire toward.

I've never been very comfortable "tooting my own horn," but I think my love of everything St. Andrew's offered me helps me to inspire others.

I truly enjoy my time with the students whether it is in the classroom, on the athletic field or in the dorm. And I love the give and take of conversations which both teach and help me learn about the students (and vice versa, I hope). I also think my willingness and desire to become involved in multiple aspects of life at SAS helps me to get to know many students in a variety of arenas. As a result, I feel that I am better equipped to teach.

Certainly many of my former teachers were inspirational in my decision to become an educator. Tad Roach, Will Speers, Hoover Sutton and Tom Odden all helped me to understand how important faculty can be in a high school educational experience; and I am very fortunate to work with some of these individuals now as colleagues where their influence is different but equally valuable.

INSTITUTION:

Moorpark College, Moorpark, Calif.

POSITION:

History Teacher, Admission Officer, College Counselor, Coach STUDENTS:

Grades 9-12 INSTITUTION:

St. Andrew's School, Middletown, Del. have been working in education for four years.

I enjoy the opportunity to work with young people. I remember fondly the faculty during my years at St. Andrew's and would like to have a similar effect on today's students.

I certainly have learned a lot more about the subject matter I teach and how best to present it.

However, more importantly, I have learned how to communicate easily with teenagers. It is quite a challenge to become close enough to young people so that they will open up and confide in you when they are troubled, and then at the same time to maintain the distance necessary to be an effective authority figure. As I have become more comfortable combining these roles, I find I have developed much more meaningful and rewarding relationships with the students at SAS.

I

have been working in education for 25 years.

I enjoy working with young people, and years ago a few trustworthy friends told me they thought I'd make a good teacher.

I still love to learn and am always looking for new material and approaches to use in my classes.

I enjoy my students' successes in my classes and in their lives.

I'm enthusiastic toward what I do, fair in my treatment of students and patient under most circumstances.

St. Andrew's, more than my university experience, revealed to me the satisfying results that can, and do, come from a combination of dedicated faculty and motivated students.

Viviana (Vivi) R. Davila '85 POSITION:

Spanish Teacher, Field Hockey and Lacrosse Coach STUDENTS:

Grades 9-12 INSTITUTION:

Episcopal High School, Alexandria, Va. have been working in education for a year.

After working in the corporate world for five years, I wanted to do something rewarding.

I did spend my free time tutoring students in Spanish, and I enjoyed teaching them about my culture. I find myself teaching like some of my teachers at SAS. Challenges: To keep the students on their feet and maintain 100 percent of their attention.

Rewards: When they learn thoroughly and understand what you teach and take it with them to their next institution.

My strengths are that I am a leader and I have developed strong communication skills, and you need to be strong in these areas to understand the youth of our society. EHS, like SAS, demands that its teachers serve as role models for these youngsters; they need us.

St. Andrew's inspired me to teach. I look back, and my leaders, role models and advisors were the ones that had great influence on my life.

Academically, the teachers cared and took time out of their busy schedules to help us. Athletically, we were taught communication and teamwork, and now I apply these to my field hockey and lacrosse fields. We have fun! Thanks to everyone at SAS.

R. Samuel (Sandy] Villon '64 POSITION:

Teacher; Boys' Varsity Basketball Coach STUDENTS:

U.S. History (llth) World Geography (9th) INSTITUTION:

Coronado High School, Coronado, Calif. taught at La Jolla Country Day School (197074) and teach at Coronado High School (1974 to present). The reason I chose a career in education, originally, was because I wanted to coach, not because I was idealistic in any way.

Eventually, I found that it was something I was pretty good at. After 24 years, I still enjoy going to work every day.

I

I think I have learned to change with the times.

When I was a student, you did what you were told to do—no questions asked. Now kids want to know why, "of what use is it." The results are about the same—hopefully a young adult who can think for himself/herself, reasons intelligently, has goals, etc.—but the methods to get there sure have changed.

My strengths: Patience! Understanding!

Compassion! In basketball, I cannot only teach the skills but also I can coach and make adjustments during games. In the classroom, I am willing to try new things even after 24 years.

It's the people that count, and St. Andrew's has always been among the best. The patience that Blackburn Hughes, Ned Gammons, Larry Walker, George Broadbent, Chris Boyle, Dave Washburn and others had with me helped me in so many ways in the classroom and in sports. But above all, Bob and Dot Colburn were confidants and friends.

At a truly confusing time in my family's life, they guided me in a way that I have come to call upon in my student contacts over the years.

Eric R. Gamble '84 POSITION:

Teacher of Religion, History & Geography; Director of Residence STUDENTS:

Grades 6-12 INSTITUTION:

TMI, Episcopal School of West Texas, San Antonio, Texas have worked in education for two years—one in New Hampshire public schools; first "real" year is this year. I chose this profession because I hated government work in D.C., wanted to learn while working, missed the books, wanted summers for other interests, and a safe atmosphere for children and family.

I have grown and developed as an educator already, in just a few months. The mistakes hurt but are valuable. I have learned the power of a smile and soft tone of voice over a furrowed brow and angry eyes. The strengths I have to offer are energy, enthusiasm, long-term commitment and a St. Andrew's resume.

I miss the system and support of SAS. This is a very different place. Wish I had a Speers, Roach and O'Brien to help me. For now, I rely on 10- to 12-year-old recollections of their methods and mannerisms.

During college, I thought that I was heading into the business world, but my calling is helping children and students learn.

Anne M. Gammons '85 POSITION:

Teacher, English as a Second Language Alumni Term Trustee, St. Andrew's Board of Trustees Volunteer Interviewer for Harvard College STUDENTS:

Middle School (Grades 6-8) INSTITUTION:

Cleveland/Holmes Middle Schools, Elizabeth, N.J. taught primary learning-disabled students in the fall of 1989. I taught three-year olds in the spring of 1990. I was certified and earned a Master's in Education, 1990-91. I have been teaching in my present position since February 1992.

My grandfather and father (SAS, 1961-72) were both boarding school teachers. My teachers at SAS had such a big impact on my life, and I wanted to have that impact on others' lives. In college, I worked with kids at a boys' and girls' club in an urban setting and realized that I wanted to try to offer those kinds of kids the kind of education that was offered to me by my family and my teachers.

I have had the opportunity to teach and work with kids in different settings and work in different parts of the educational system. This has helped me to be more confident and knowledgeable about education. I have learned that there are frustrating and rewarding challenges in education, whether you are teaching a three-year old, a 12-year old or a 17-year old, the toughest city kid or the apparently most pampered rich kid, whether you are a teacher or an administrator. I believe the biggest challenges and rewards come from the same source: tending to a child's emotional needs so that academics can work and be meaningful.

Sometimes those needs are so overwhelming that the child can't focus on reading and writing. But when you see a child blossom personally, that means so much more than producing a Rhodes scholar.

I think I offer dedication to education as a whole and to the students I teach. I have a lot of patience, a sense of humor, and an interest in people. Those are important because I feel my job is 80 percent psychology, 10 percent showmanship, and 10 percent academic knowledge. In some ways I am very focused upon urban public schools and

I

their many needs, but I am also grateful to and interested in St. Andrew's and Harvard, and that is why I also feel it is very important to serve them and help them continue to offer the excellent education I received to other students of all backgrounds.

In many ways, St. Andrew's is so different from the urban middle school in which I work, but in some ways kids are kids and teaching is teaching.

Teaching has made me even more grateful and in awe of my teachers at St. Andrew's (if that is possible) for the huge commitment of time they make to their students and the emotional energy they put into the teaching profession. My job exhausts me, and I don't see students on the weekends or evenings! When I am running low on inspiration, I think of Tom Odden's sense of humor and collection of toys, and Bob Colburn's seemingly endless commitment and work ethic in teaching and coaching. When I think I can't give anymore, I think of John Higgins' spending three hours explaining and re-explaining calculus to me the night before a test.

And when I wonder why I'm doing my job, I think of my advisor, Evert van Buchem, and know that if one student ever feels about me the way I feel about him, it will all be worth it.

C. Dallett Hemphill '75 POSITION:

History Professor (primarily American) INSTITUTION:

Ursinus College, Collegeville, Pa. am in my seventh year of teaching. I have always been interested in teaching. I started out in the teacher preparation program at Princeton University, but because I got so interested in independent research in history, my professors suggested graduate school. I chose to teach at the college level, because I could continue to do research as well as teach. Also, I have always regarded teaching as compatible with raising a family (two sons, 3 and 3 months).

I find that I continue to grow as a teacher. In general, experience helps one learn new tricks, but the process is ongoing. I have the luxury of teaching small classes and, therefore, I am not confined to the lecture format. I enjoy watching students grow intellectually over the four years they are here.

In terms of what I have to offer my students, I have a genuine love for my subject and this helps,

because I think enthusiasm is the most important ingredient of good teaching. I am willing to put in the long hours that teaching demands, and I enjoy interacting with young adults.

I think about SAS all the time. I feel such a debt to SAS; it gave me such a great background.

The School emphasized important values and fundamentals such as learning how to write. I remember Bob Moss giving a chapel talk on how to write an essay. I didn't have to wait until I got to college (as I have seen many students do) to learn the basics.

I would say that SAS has had a snowball effect; there wasn't any single factor that led me in this direction. It was the whole group of people and experiences, the emphasis on education and the structure. For me, the teaching ideal will always be sitting around a big, oak table discussing, as we did countless times at St. Andrew's.

Ridie Lazar '90 POSITION:

Assistant Director of Admissions; Crew Coach INSTITUTION:

Kent School, Kent, Conn.

AS played a big part in my decision to work at a boarding school. I was a tour guide all four years at SAS and head guide my senior year. It was always something I did for fun. Last year, as I began my senior year at Syracuse, I realized I really did not want to go into journalism after all. My mom suggested that I look into working at a school because I had always loved doing admissions stuff at SAS. That's when I called Mr. Speers.

I've only been here two weeks (Sept. 14), so I'm not sure I can offer my great insight. I do try to dress like Mrs. O'Brien or at least in an outfit she would approve of! And I thought of Mrs. Speers the other day when I hosted my first advisee dinner. When dealing with students, I try to remember how / felt and how Mr. Speers would 've advised me. Being on the other side has made me appreciate SAS faculty much more; I realize just how long a day is for faculty members!

I also noticed that, while interviewing, I compared schools to SAS, and I looked for a school that was similar. Although Kent is much larger, it is similar in the sense that it is a traditional, strict, Episcopal school with a great crew. I did not want to work at a school that is radically different from

S

SAS. The truth, however, is probably that I realized I had much more fun, and the people at SAS were more interesting than in the "real world." I loved my four years at SAS, and the easiest way— and the only way—back into the boarding school life was as a faculty member.

Carey McDaniel '90 POSITION:

Assistant Director of Admissions; Head Field Hockey Coach STUDENTS:

Grades 9-12 and Post-Graduate INSTITUTION:

West Nottingham Academy, Colora, Md. chose a career in education after I coached crew two years ago at St. Andrew's. I was, at the time, a journalism major hoping to get a job working for The New Yorker (which I studied in VI Form English with Tad Roach), hunting down news-breaking stories all over the world. At that point in my life, I knew that my career choice would have been influenced by Mr. Roach and Mr. Austin; I just didn't know how much. I was also, at the time, working for a newspaper in Maryland.

I watched my editor sprint from computer to computer every night, every deadline, compiling stories and getting completely stressed out. I knew that I wanted to do something which related to my English major for a career, but I quickly discovered that I couldn't have a family working for newspapers, let alone a life, and I didn't think I'd influence anyone that way. I decided private high school education was the way for me.

I was asked to coach women's novice crew for SAS and absolutely loved it. My classroom was a six-foot-long dinghy that occasionally conked out on the pond and was always three inches deep with rainwater; and my huge, round, oak table was an eight-person shell. I watched eight girls learn how to work together to produce fluidity and precision that only a crew can create, under my supervision.

We didn't win any medals that year, but I knew I wanted to be in a boarding school situation, where I could talk to people about subjects I genuinely cared about, and possibly teach them in different ways, including on an athletic field, in a dorm, or even in their first impression during their interviews.

I am growing every day as a coach and administrator. I am learning so much from the people here, about life, education and its endless possibilities.

My teachers at SAS had such a big impact on my life, and I wanted to have that impact on others' lives.

ALUMNI/AE IN EDUCATION

There are many challenges—time commitments, weekend duty, tired students, but many more returns. As a new member of the faculty, my biggest challenge is just that: I often have a new perspective on how things are done here.

Sometimes I know that there are more efficient, better ways of doing things, but I haven't mastered the system here yet. Still, that is one of the reasons I was hired—to bring new life into the system.

The strengths I have to offer come from one thing: the incredible eight years of school I had which provided me with a multitude of role models and examples whom I can set my teaching styles by. I was able to sit in on many English classes at SAS during my last semester at the University of Delaware. There I student taught and learned how to keep people interested as well as plan a lesson, make it fun, and teach something at the same time.

I was the president of my sorority at the University of Delaware. This job entailed many duties including being the house mother and disciplinarian of a 51-woman home. I have dealt with underage drinking, suicide attempts, unwanted visitors and seen people who need a shoulder to cry on or some general advice. Those experiences I will see this year, but I have been through them already. I was a crew coach for two years. I know now how to be the team's friend and still get them into shape. I have led a team through a winning season and tried to keep spirits up after repeated defeats. My years at a boarding school help me keep perspective on what these kids find important and how they see themselves.

Working in this environment sheds multiple lights on my St. Andrew's experiences. I realize how hard the faculty works and how much time they invest. I realize that not too many people do it for the money. And I realize how much they care about what they taught us.

The people I think about when I stand in front of a class, check in the girls after study hall, or host an open house are Tad and Elizabeth Roach, John Austin and Will Speers. These people touched my life by showing us their souls through literature.

They always had a smile for everyone, treated everyone fairly and held no grudges. They went out of their way to help us reach our potential.

And they were (and are) good friends!

Karen Pupke '87 POSITION: Teacher STUDENTS: Kindergarten INSTITUTION: St. Peter's School, Philadelphia, Pa.

earned my Master's of Arts in Education at Teachers College, Columbia University (199192). I taught first grade at the Dalton School in New York City (1992-93), and presently I am teaching kindergarten at St. Peter's School.

Panic led me to a career in education!

Seriously, senior year at Lehigh all my friends in accounting and business were landing great jobs while I struggled to decide what I wanted to do with my English major (so far that has been the only point in my life when I doubted the value of my liberal arts education). I thought hard about my life experiences: a few summers as a counselor at Camp Wright, a little bit of travel and some time spent working at day-care centers in Middletown and Bethlehem. I remembered the director of the Middletown center telling Ms. Miller that if I didn't work with children I'd "be missing my calling." Well, one thing led to another, and here I am working with children. I can honestly say I think I have the greatest job in the world, and although all my friends on Wall Street are making two to three times as much money as I am, not one of them is as happy!

As a relatively young and inexperienced teacher, I feel as if I am growing as an educator every day. The children themselves are responsible for much of my growth as I will never cease to be amazed at the way they process and digest the world around them. No matter how stressed, how busy, how grossly inadequate the worst days in my classroom make me feel, inevitably a child comes through with some small achievement, some amusing anecdote, some wonderfully uncomplicated view of the world that makes me realize the joy and importance of teaching.

At St. Andrew's, I gained a great appreciation for the importance of a liberal arts education. As an English major at Lehigh, a predominantly business and engineering school, I was often put on the defensive about my major (which is not to say that I did not absolutely love my Lehigh experience).

My experience as an English major at Lehigh, however, did little to prepare me for the condescending looks and remarks I get when I tell people I am a kindergarten teacher. No, not everyone reacts that way, but I would have to say that one of the biggest challenges I face as an educator is dealing with the frustration and anger I feel when people look at me and say, "Oh. That's nice. Don't you aspire to do anything else with your life?"

I think my greatest strengths are my education and the fact that I love being around children.

Working in an academic environment has made me realize exactly how egocentric I was as a student. I never had any comprehension of the logistics of running a private academic institution: the

I

ALUMNI/AE IN EDUCATION

parents, the long-range planning, the financial woes, etc., etc., etc. More importantly, however, I never gave any thought to the time my teachers put into preparing for their classes, or grading papers, or simply thinking and worrying about their students. I have an entirely new appreciation for the blood, sweat and tears people like Mr. Stegeman, the Camerons and other SAS teachers have invested in my education. I can honestly say they are all still a powerful inspiration to me today.

Thomas Washbum '76 POSITION:

Dean of Students, Mathematics Department Chair STUDENTS:

Grades 6-9 INSTITUTION:

The Rectory School, Pomfret, Conn. have been working in education for 13 years. I chose such a career to help young students build a solid foundation so that they can be better prepared for secondary school and beyond.

I have learned that one of the most important factors of being able to help kids is to really know them and relate to them individually. Each student is different, and his/her needs are different. Seeing kids who have little self-esteem develop confidence in themselves is one of the most rewarding parts of this job. One thing that I always tell young faculty every year sums up how I feel about teaching at a boarding school. I don't look at it as a job—it is a lifestyle that can be rewarding 24 hours a day if you can keep your sense of humor and always look for the positive side of any situation.

There are lessons to be learned from all activities, both good and bad, that are encountered each day.

The Rectory School, being a private boarding school for Grades 5-9, has many similarities as well as differences compared to SAS. I appreciate how well SAS always seemed to run. As students, we never realized all the behind-the-scenes work that was involved in running a school smoothly. I often think back to my dad [Dave Washburn '44] and try to do as fine a job as he did while at SAS. If I ever do as well as he did, then I will feel that I did OK.

Stephen Vtashburne '53 POSITION:

Chemistry Professor STUDENTS:

Freshman—Post-Doctorates and all in between INSTITUTION:

Temple University, Philadelphia, Pa. have never been anywhere else but in education—I went from St. Andrew's to college to graduate school to Temple University. In the fall of 1957, my senior year, Sputnik went up.

"Science and Engineering" were suddenly the future—they were viewed as national service!

Challenge: To function in an "urban university" with many problems....and keep a perspective.

Reward: The many students whose lives I've influenced, hopefully for the better.

I feel the strengths I have to offer my profession are understanding, care and integrity.

Question: Does working in an academic environment shed any new light on your experience at St. Andrew's? Answer: Not really. It was a different time. SAS teachers were more role models for living the good life rather than scholars. Some were great, others were lousy; but I learned how to be independent!

Amy Wifson '89 POSITION: Physics Teacher STUDENTS: Grades 10-12 INSTITUTION: The Taft School, Watertown, Conn. his is my second year in education. I was so inspired by the teachers at St. Andrew's and was so happy there.

It's a challenge to meet the diverse needs of such a large community as Taft. The reward is always a successful kid or a "growth" moment.

I think I relate well to the kids both because I'm nearly their age and because I had the boarding school experience.

Now I realize how hard my teachers worked and why they might have needed privacy once in a while! There's a sense of serenity about Tad Roach that I try to aspire to, but I think I've got some more work to do in that department. Kids at SAS get along with each other so well. I've been trying to institute here some of the "little" things that aided and abetted our healthy relationships.

Hoover Sutton has inspired me to do a slide show here. I hope it will come to mean as much to Taft students as it did to us at SAS.

Gilheany Visits Vietnam eligious Studies teacher Terence Gilheany spent two and a half weeks traveling in Vietnam this past summer. Having already visited Thailand, Laos and Indonesia, he was interested in exploring another area of Southeast Asia to study its Buddhist culture and explore the effects of the American war. Terence visited Saigon, Hue, Da Nang and Hanoi. He found the trip eye opening. From the people he encountered, he discovered that there is a wide range of opinion on many topics, and people are ready and willing to express them. He found very little anti-American feeling, many feeling that the American war was merely an extension of French colonialism.

Terence also taught the learning disabled at a six-week summer program at Salisbury Academy in Connecticut.

The program began with a one-week orientation program at Georgetown University, where the students were given a crash course in U.S. government, so that they would be prepared to answer questions about their own country. Bruce spent the remaining four weeks in Tunisia, first in the modernized north and then in the south. The program consisted of Arabic lessons, lectures and trips to parliament and courthouses and weekend stays in coastal regions. They visited the salt flats, the Sahara Desert, spent time with Greenpeace and participated in a weekend homestay.

A high point in the trip for Bruce was a 90minute question/answer session with Yasir Arafat.

Bruce was elected to give Arafat a gift from all the students and shake his hand.

Bruce found the entire experience eye opening.

It wiped away many of his own misconceptions and will hopefully lead to more experiences of studying Arab culture.

COMMUNITY SERVICE IN MEXICO

By Melissa Brown, Modern Languages Department Chair his past summer 13 St. Andrew's students, one other faculty member and I traveled to Mexico to participate in a community service project in Tijuana. Megan Bozick '96, Jess Reid '96, Hadley Robin '96, Andrew Reynolds '95, Talley Wettlaufer '95, Jack Comstock '95, Liz Dwyer '95, Shelley Haley '95, Ollie Petzold '95, Melissa Cull '96, Lindsay Allen '96, Jocelyn Torio '95, Kate Sidebottom '96, Assistant Director of Admission Ann Chilton and I joined an organization called Los Ninos in Tijuana for ten days for their Educational Development Program.

Self-sufficiency in small communities in the Mexican cities of Tijuana and Mexicali is the goal of the many programs sponsored by this La Chula, California-based organization. As a group, we spent most of our time in a small community outside Tijuana called Maclavio Rojas, a six-year-old community of about 100 families from all over Mexico and Central America. There we planted more than 200 trees to provide the only shade for miles over a small, two-building school that the community had only partially completed. We also helped begin the next stage of construction of the school—a basketball court/soccer area between the two primary buildings. We dug the foundation, mixed the cement necessary to fill it in and then began leveling the interior of the court. The time we spent at Maclavio Rojas had its visible rewards, but the invisible ones are the ones we really brought home with us.

Los Ninos calls it an educational development program because as much of the focus on the program is on the work in the communities as it is on the educational component for those of us coming from the other side of the border. Throughout our stay, we were visited by native, accomplished speakers on Mexico's current reality: the national elections of August, the uprising in Chiapas of January 1, 1994, NAFTA and its effect on those at the border, and the environmental and ecological problems faced by Mexicans today. It was the hope of Dave Cox, the program director, and others at Los Ninos that these lectures would broaden our vision of what we had seen in the small communities like Maclavio Rojas.

The trip was a huge success. Dave complimented the group, saying that we were one of the finest they have ever had and pleaded with us to come

COMMUNITY SERVICE

Jack Comstock '95 ith my arms resting upon my pick axe as I lean against the earthen wall, my thoughts drift off into a state of mind only possible after hours of intense physical labor. Taking in the construction site with slow sweeps of my head, which double as nods of disbelief, I see a work project that in the United States would take less than a month to complete. Yet, here in the outskirts of Tijuana, with only the most basic tools and prodigious amounts of man power, the project will take in excess of three years.

Above the trench where I stand, and through the swirling dust, women and children toil in the sunbaked, rocky soil etching hundreds of holes deep enough to deposit tree seedlings. From each painstakingly dug planting, with little more than a miracle, they will grow into providers of shade in this harsh, arid land. While I pause from my work, it is the oasis that I watch slowly being constructed around me, where a community will one day gather and be schooled.

"Awe-inspiring" is one way to describe this scene, but "foreign" perhaps would be the more appropriate word; because the human dynamics are not really something I fully comprehend. To view all of the members of a community working together, giving freely of their time and energy is in itself unbelievable; but to see them slaving away with happiness upon their faces is something I have never witnessed. These smiles, so white and radiant, shine out through the thick veil of dust and heat rising from the ground.

I begin to realize that the joy and contentment of these poor people are inspired by the hard work itself—a love and pride for what they are accomplishing. Surrounded by flimsy huts and a hostile climate, it is obvious they lack many of the things cherished by society elsewhere. I see before me a group of people who are not disillusioned by what they lack in comparison to the affluence in America, a stone's throw away; but who know the enduring values of a simple and good existence.

W

Hadley Robin '96 n the road from the San Diego Airport to the Los Ninos compound in Tijuana, I noticed a few irregular things. I observed a bus, filled with Mexican immigrants, with SAN DIEGO STATE PRISON stenciled on the side in bold, white letters and roadside murals which conveyed the plight of the Chicano. These images gave me an idea as to what Tijuana was like, but there was no way to prepare me for the experience

O

which lay just over the California border.

Although the people I met and worked with made a lasting impression on me, it was the people I didn't meet whom I find myself still thinking about. On the fifth day, Dave, the head of the Los Ninos program, drove us to the border. There I saw Mexican men lounging beside a wire fence, feigning disinterest at the border police, whose cars were parked just a quarter of a mile away.

Here I was, with these tired men. Physically, I was on the same side of the border, seeing the same pure white police car, daring one of us to clamber over the fence and enter "his" land of opportunity.

Dave gunned the motor and we drove off, leaving the Mexican men to their trial of patience and endurance, with the American police as their jury.

However, this is not an impartial jury. Studies show that the money generated by the presence of illegal Mexican immigrants accounts for a large portion of California's state profit. If the San Diego State Police were to completely cut off the immigration from Mexico, which they are capable of doing, it would be an economical disaster. These men who lounge by the border may get caught and brought back to Tijuana, but statistics show that they will successfully cross by their third attempt.

Also, some Mexicans hold daily jobs in San Diego, yet live in Tijuana. This means they must "commute" every day.

The "armpit of America," as Tijuana is often called, did not achieve that status by the abuse of the Mexicans alone. The United States uses Mexicans as a kind of slave labor. United States oppression has successfully kept the Mexicans in poverty for so long that they are willing to work for virtually nothing. Meanwhile, we pollute their oceans and air without a second thought. I have no doubt that the American public would come to the aid of the Mexicans if they knew the extent of their poverty. However, the United States government has manipulated its people into believing that the Mexicans got what they deserved—a politician in California has run for governor on a purely antiimmigration platform. This is the extent to which the Californians have been manipulated. It is the responsibility of United States citizens to refrain from taking the politicians at their word and get the facts. Knowledge is the only way to overcome ignorance and prejudice and help the Mexicans.

The men, women and children I met through the Los Ninos program do not worry me. They are optimistic, hard-working people. It is the silent masses that sit for days by a wire fence that keep me up at night. When we all have our corporate jobs and six figure salaries, where will these people, trying so desperately to become our maids and gardeners, be?

LIBRARY AUTOMATION UNDERWAY

By Shannon Hanover, Assistant Librarian he Irene du Pont Library began its fall term this year with a new look. As students returned, they were greeted by flashing screens and shiny new barcodes. A year and a half ago, the library staff began the process of computerizing the card catalog. After careful consideration and preparation, we decided on the Dynix Scholar System. It best suited our needs and can be considered the most user friendly. Under the confident leadership of Chuck Mandes, the director of the Library, we plunged ahead with the automation process. At this point, all the books in the collection are in the system, and the videos will follow by the end of the year.

We introduced the system and its workings to the School by demonstrating it to individual English classes. Mr. Mandes and I walked students through the process of searching for a topic.

This can be done by author, title, keyword or subject. The computer will cross reference its database automatically and do the busy work for you. One can also create a saved bibliography within the system. Students can then print out a copy of this for their own use. We still maintain the self-checkout system. Students can check out materials quickly and efficiently with the use of a lightpen to read the barcodes. This allows students to have the freedom to check out books at any time.

In addition to automating the card catalog, we have also started out on the information highway.

Through the use of a modem, we are able to access the University of Delaware Library card catalog and a periodical database called Dialog. In the reference room, the Library also has a work station where students can play CD-ROMs. The collection is currently a small one, but we plan to increase it in the future. We anticipate having access to the Internet. Students could then communicate and exchange ideas with other students all over the world. Faculty would be able to set up projects with other schools from different parts of the country.

Our hope for the future is to become so completely automated that we will eventually be using all technological advances available. "Now that our feet are wet, we are ready to take the plunge," Mr. Mandes says. With these advances comes the ability to connect ourselves with other libraries.

We would be able to share and gain information and materials quickly and easily. But even with the new modern look and future plans, the comfortable, welcoming atmosphere of the Irene du Pont Library has not changed. It will always be a place where students and faculty alike can come in and lose themselves in a good book.

Kate Harrington '96 and Moira Forbes '97 search for a topic on the public access terminals.

IN MEMORY Robert H. Gardner, Jr. '45 Bob Gardner died on July 11, 1994, after a fivemonth battle with lung cancer. His daughter relates that "he lived his life, and particularly the last few months, to the fullest, giving his utmost first to his family and then to his novel. He had planned to attend his 50th Reunion. He went out with great courage and with the love and respect of his whole family. " Bob entered SAS as a V Former, and Gattie Jones '45 remembers him fondly: Bob Gardner was my roommate and good friend during my two great years at St. Andrew's.

Although we had not stayed in touch during our college and working years, we had established a cordial correspondence since I became class agent.

Bob was a good roommate, a good student, an active participant in the Criss Cross Club, and an all-around "up" type of person—but he will probably be best remembered as the butt of many jokes (which he took very well) due to his very youthful appearance. His primary nickname was "Babydoll," and he even told a few stories on himself as time went on.

I do recall that Bob was an officer with a multinational corporation and had spent time overseas.

He did say that they had wanted him to open an office in China, after relations had been reestablished, but well before any real break in the curtain.

He demanded "combat pay," which the company refused, so he took an early retirement opportunity which was apparently on the table and went to North Carolina to write the "great American novel, according to Bob Gardner." His daughter stated that he had completed 38 of the planned 45 chapters, and that "...somehow we will see it through. It is a wonderful comfort to read in the late hours of the night." Bob and his family were very close.

Bob had retired and was living in Try on, N.C. He became ill about five months ago, which would explain why I had not heard from him this year.

in Tryon, N.C., in 1960. He worked for 30 years for a company which, by merger and acquisition, became ITT Rayonier. He was a vice president and market manager of Wood Products East. He enjoyed international marketing immensely and traveled to Europe, the Middle East and Africa working to develop market opportunities. Always the thespian, he was for many years a member of the Tryon Little Theater where he played numerous roles. Though I believe his favorite role was Col. Pickering in Pygmalion, my childhood memories of my father as King Henry VIII in The Royal Gambit are the most vivid. Afterwards, it took us quite a while to convince him that, though he was handsome, intelligent and talented, he was not royalty!

My father was a long-standing member of the Tryon Riding and Hunt Club where he served on the Board of Directors. He was a member of the Episcopal Church of the Holy Cross, where he was a secretary of the vestry. During his last five years, while in retirement, he researched and nearly finished a historical novel about the coming of age of three young men during World War II. The story begins at the boarding school where the friendships of the three boys were forged. My father's experiences at St. Andrew's clearly made a lasting impression on his life. He is survived by his wife of 40 years, Wilma (Billy), a son, Bob Gardner, III of Jacksonville, four loving grandchildren and me.

Bob Gardner '45

Dick Davis '45 recalls an incident on the train from Wilmington to Middletown when returning from a break. He relates that: Dwight Dunlevie '45 had an open seat beside him and was trying to charm a lovely girl from some other school to sit beside him. Bob, I and others were standing around cheering. The lovely, who was delighted with the attention, wanted to join him but felt she must provide excuses. Finally she said, "The seat is too dirty." Bob reached into his pocket, took out a spotless handkerchief and spread it on the seat and said, "Your last excuse is vanquished, I say!" The girl sat down! Who but Bob would have thought of that way to handle it?

Leslie Hankey, Bob 's daughter, provides information about her father: My father was born in New York City on June 17, 1927. During his childhood, his family lived in Sewickley, Pa., and Washington, B.C. After graduating from Yale University with a degree in economics in 1950, he located in the Southeast, settling 21

35 60th Reunion

'38

Frank Hawkins 7 Chadwick Terrace, Easton, MD 21601

Buzz Speakman Box 148, Smyrna, DE 19977

Bill Cory '38 "had a most wonderful phone call from Findley Burns after he received his copy of the Bulletin—talked for half an hour or more (about 'War Stories' article). He spent 31 years in foreign service and was ambassador to Jordan and Ecuador and was in Ammon during 1967 war." Findley saw Pierce Fenhagen in Chapel Hill, Holly Whyte in New York, and John Parry and Cap Ball in Charleston.

The following words were written about Holly Whyte in the spring/summer edition of The Bryant Park News: Sages who live to see their advice heeded are rare. William Hollingsworth Whyte, Jr., is one, and he relishes his good fortune. The author of a 1977 study for the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, "Analysis of Bryant Park: Recommendations for Action," has seen "everything important" in the study realized, and he considers the result a "gigantic statement of faith in the city."

"Public spaces that flop betray a lack of faith in the central city," the godfather of the new Bryant Park said in a recent interview.

And surely no one knows better than Holly Whyte, as he is called, what makes some public spaces flop and others succeed. In more than five decades as a writer he has gradually tightened his focus, bringing all his reading, experience and powers of observation to bear on the city's small social spaces.

Whyte's 1977 recommendations for Bryant Park embodied his recipe for successful public space: open it up; make it easy to see through and walk through; admit the sun but provide shade and greenery; offer movable seating; provide trash disposal, toilets, food vendors, and performers; and keep it clean and trim.

Although the high stoop of his Manhattan brownstone has lately become a challenge, Holly Whyte has lost none of his zest for city living. He scorns the idea that the future of the city lies somewhere on the periphery.

"The center is the center is the center," he says emphatically. Bryant Park is his idea of the best in downtown parks. "Is it ridiculous to think that public toilets and garden flowers would work in the middle of New York City?" he asks with a wry smile. "Of course not! They work very well."

Bill Cory (Louisville, Ky.) was not able to make it to Homecoming, so he sends his heartfelt regards to all who attended.

Art writes: "Rob has a very attractive house by Putney Bridge where we had a good hour together.

"In Italy the following week, I joined several hundred fellow veterans to participate in the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the liberation of Rome. From seeing friends for the first time since 1945 to receiving the outpouring of hospitality from many of the Italian towns we had liberated...and there was a lot of emphasis on the word 'liberation,' we had a memorable experience. Another St. Andrean who went through the Italian campaign was Ted Burton '42, but we never met since 1941."

'45 50th Reunion Gattie Jones 193 Lynn Avenue, Shreveport, LA 71105 Marty and Gattie Jones spent several days in New York City watching tennis at the U.S. Open, after which they got a car and did some touring in upper New York, Quebec Province, and the Finger Lakes region. Gattie writes: "We saw some lovely country which was new to both of us. Weather was delightful and fall color just beginning to show. From what the locals told us, however, the area in winter is no place for us southerners!" While in Quebec, Marty and Gattie spent several days

visiting Sylvie and Bob Schelling—in Montreal and also at their circa-1790 farmhouse at North Hatley (about 1-1/2 hours east of Montreal), where they spend weekends.

Gattie adds: "Bob has become the ultimate gentleman farmer, wine maker, gourmet chef and all-around Country Gentleman. They showed us much of the countryside and also guided us around Montreal. They would be pleased to have any of Bob's classmates visit and will provide a good look at Canadian life in both the country and city."

'46 Ken VanDyke 347 Declaration Lane, Christianburg, VA 24073 Jim Perry writes (grudgingly): "I'm now the Wall Street Journal's senior political writer, meaning I've been doing it longer than anyone else. On January 1, I'm taking a few months off to write a fun book, Arrogant Armies, Awful Defeats, from the Monongahela to Mogadishu. It's about stupid generals and disastrous military expeditions. I'm being paid by John Wiley & Sons to write it. I expect all my classmates to buy several (emphasis added) copies."

Thanks, Jim. Ken VanDyke writes: "In May, the VanDykes sold their seventeen-year-old fiber optics manufacturing business to a holding company from Lynchburg, Va. With all the emphasis on the 'information superhighway,' it seemed a good time to do it; and the buyer was anxious to get in the field. We have developed a link that transmits and receives data at the rate of 2.5 'Ebrits.' That's two and a half times the contents of the entire

Encyclopedia Brittanica in one second!

We've bought a second home on the North Carolina coast and shuttle back and forth from our home in the Virginia mountains as the spirit (and/or weather) moves us. Pretty nice, just loafing!"

Living in San Diego, Calif, Libby and Don Haynsworth are retired, traveling and enjoying their seven grandchildren, particularly twin girls, age 1.

Frank Stoner reports that he and his wife, Sarah, are close to completing their new home on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Except for a stint of consulting work, Frank retired about three years ago and hasn't regretted it a bit.

He looks forward to visiting SAS more frequently with his new proximity and says the upcoming 50th is a sure thing. Frank says exploring the Bay and stalking the ferocious striped bass will occupy a good part of their time.

An update from George Baxter: "During the gathering of Trustees and the Alumni Corporation on September 30 and October 1, I had the pleasure of visiting with David Campbell, who, with his wife, Mary, attended the very nice dinner hosted by Jon and Joan O'Brien. David missed our 40th as he was on vacation with his family in Bermuda.

"At the time of our reunion last June, I attempted to get in touch with Peter Fish's (killed in a traffic accident, June 11, 1978) mother, whom I last had contact with in 1984.

I learned, thanks to David, that Eleanor Fish died sometime in 1993. David and Peter were from Allentown, Pa. David's mother still lives there, and she told David about Eleanor.

I subsequently received a copy of the notice of death in the Allentown paper. Eleanor died on December 3, 1993, at age 89. She left two grandchildren and a great-granddaughter."

The Icing on Your Retirement Cake A recipe for enhancing your retirement income: First, put the layers in place (pension plan, social security, IRA, etc.). Then, ice the cake with a charitable gift arrangement to St. Andrew's, which can give you income taxed at a favorable rate—income you can receive now or later.

Plus, you get an immediate income tax charitable deduction as well.

'63 John Schoonover Schoonover Studios, LTD., 1616 N. Rodney Street, Wilmington, DE 19806 Ogden Hamilton is pleased to report that he accepted an appointment as Executive Director of Pi Lambda Theta, the honor society and professional association in education.

The organization plays somewhat the same role for university schools of education that Phi Beta Kappa plays for schools of arts and sciences. In one of those great coincidences of nature, the International Office is located on East Third Street within walking distance of his home. Ogden explains: "Pi Lambda Theta is a national organization with about 125 local chapters and 10,000 members. For the past 85 years the International Office has been a passive support organization for the local chapters. Recently, however, the Board of Directors decided that the International Office should become active in generating initiatives that provide its members with opportunities for professional service and development. My job as CEO is to articulate the strategy, set up the operations and then make it happen. If there is any difference between this mandate and the challenge of a private sector company, I haven't figured out yet what it is.

"If any of our alumni have any good ideas for me or see any opportunity to do business together, they should by all means feel free to get in touch (812-339-3411). I would love to hear from them."

George Forbes, executive vice president of PNC Bank, Delaware, is serving as president of the Delaware Bankers Association, the 99-year-old lobbying group.

Biagio Sancetta visited SAS last year— his first time back. He is living on Bainbridge Island, Wash., and is a student of marine zoology/estuarine ecology at the University of Washington. He served with the U.S. Navy Security Group—Russian (1969-73), received degrees from William and Mary in liberal arts (BA) and finance (MBA), and did various work in finance until 1991.

'69 Charlie Kolb 1227Michigan Court, Alexandria, VA 22314 It was good to hear from Mike Bray who lost touch with SAS while moving across the U.S. and throughout Europe. He was "amazed and a bit saddened to realize that it has been 25 years" since graduation and is sorry he missed the Reunion. Mike updates us on his life since 1969: "First, off to college, initially to Boston University, then to the University of Colorado. A useless but interesting degree in archeology later had me off to South America in search of a job. Fortunately, one was found—unfortunately, it was in advertising.

I have persisted ever since selling everything from whiskey to cat food. Venezuela being a bit small, I soon found the lure of the bright lights too much and landed in New York.

Five years later (1980), I shipped out to Spain.

Soon after that it was London, where I have worked ever since. I'm still in advertising but traveling all over Europe from my barn in Kent.

Michael Stephanides reports that he is happily married with two children, Miller (3) and Marcus (1-1/2). He owns his own business with two stores, one in Morganton and one in Maiden, N.C. After reading the spring Bulletin, Kingsley Durant was prompted to write with an update as to his adventures. He writes from Avon Lake, Ohio: "As I am in the process of finishing my PhD in education at the University of Virginia, I did a nationwide (well, the lower 48 anyway) job search this past year, looking for a position as a mathematics educator in a university setting. This was an extremely interesting, but nerve-wracking, experience for me and my family. My curriculum vitae visited the likes of Bozeman, Mont., Tuscaloosa, Ala., and Reno, Nev.—that is, basically every corner of the country. Besides the university level search, a little voice kept telling me I shouldn't rule out a good private school teaching/department head position, so I also

25

did a similarly wide-ranging search with IBS. "The outcome was that I accepted an offer to chair the mathematics department at Lake Ridge Academy, a private day school (grades K-12) in North Ridgeville, Ohio. No small factor in the decision was the fact that it's a great school for my kids (Nathan and Ben, going into 5th and 3rd grades, respectively) to attend—although I'm not sure I'm looking forward to possibly having them in class for several years! Having made the decision, Pam and I came out in May and bought a new house (our first; another adventure), into which we're currently settling while I prepare to teach everything from 7th grade math to calculus, and finish writing the dissertation, which through job searching, house warming, and general procrastination has managed to stretch on quite endlessly.

"We are enjoying the area so far. It reminds me of my hometown in the suburbs of Boston—as I grew up in an oceanside town, the lake exerted a strong pull in our house hunting efforts. ...We've been to Jacobs Field, Sea World and Brecksville."

'77 Steve Sailer 3525 Rowland Road, Richmond, VA 23234 Jay Hudson finished up his department head tour in VAQ-131 in the U.S. Navy.

Beppy Westcott joined Bernardon & Associates in Kennett Square, Pa., as a project director. She lives in Elkton, Md. In the November 1 issue of The News Journal, Wilmington, Del., Richard and Amy Costello were featured in an article, "A hard road with ups, downs," (included in a series called "Cradle of Sorrow") which explained that "caring for a premature infant means years of struggle." Their son, Peter, was born 14 weeks early and weighed 1 pound, 6 ounces ("micro-preemies"—children born prematurely, weighing less than two pounds) and even doll clothes were too big for him.

Peter is seven now; and after years of extensive therapy and medical treatments for problems that continue long after infancy, he attends school and is an active, playful child.

Amy was unable to care for Peter and work, too, so she quit her job as a technical writer.

She's seeking work now that Peter is in school. Richard is a financial planner. The Costellos also have a daughter, Julie (4).

Having surpassed 1,000,000 frequent flyer miles in less than four years on Northwest Airlines, having spent 60-70 percent of his time away from home, and, having had their first baby (daughter Carlie Nicole) in September 1993, they "decided to shelve the corporate rat race and march to a different drum." To that end, they sold their house, left Michigan, moved to their family cottage on the Chesapeake (for the winter, at least), formed a company, and are in the midst of a full-time search for a small manufacturing company to acquire on the East Coast.

After college, I worked for a Dutch bank in their derivatives operation area. I moved over to Fuji Capital Markets in April of 1992 and have been with them since. At this point, I am trading Yen derivatives. It is very challenging and intense> I've never worked so hard in my life, but it keeps the

Kelly Hoopes Reimert 201 Ursinus College, Collegeville, PA 19426 A senior at Ursinus College in Collegeville, Pa., Kelly Hoopes is a third-year starter for the varsity volleyball team. As an internist at the Elmwood Park Zoo in Norristown, Pa., she will be working in the animal care program. Last summer Kelly took an introductory class in marine biology organized through Ursinus and was lucky enough to be able to use the facilities at Woods Hole, Mass. She also took a trip out west to the AbsarokaBeartooth Wilderness in southern Montana and northern Wyoming. She was in the back country for ten days for the purpose of collecting water samples from various alpine lakes that would be tested and used as indicators for the overall condition of the lakes and the ecosystems surrounding them. Kelly also learned about low-impact camping methods, hiking with at least 40 pounds on her back, what to do in case of the unlikely bear encounter, and, most importantly, how to have fun when you are cold and wet and the snow doesn't seem to be letting up. Lastly, Kelly has begun work with a wildlife rehabilitator in Delaware, who has helped her get hands-on experience with native Delawarean species like raccoons and opossums, and the domestic species called kittens.

So far my semester here has been incredible; everything is so different. I have traveled a bit and now I'll be living in Lamu for three weeks studying Swahili intensely; hopefully, I'll actually be able to speak it at some point.

I'm traveling on the coast for most of the program, and I'll live with a family in Nairobi for two weeks. I can't wait to show my family around here during Christmastime.... This is definitely different from fall in Williamstown but very worth it."

Mike Pignatello is keeping busy at Columbia University. He writes: "Greetings from New York! I am having a terrific semester, although it's about this time of year that I miss St. Andrew's, with the trees changing colors and leaves falling. Central Park just can't replace Delaware.

"None of my classes have disappointed me this year. I am in first semester Chinese and I love it. (I like producing sounds I never knew my mouth could make.) I am also taking third semester Spanish (too easy), International Politics, and one of Columbia College's required courses, Contemporary Civilization.

I love this year just as much as last year, if not

more; although I have twice the work, it's become second nature.

"I've also managed to get a job in the Columbia University French House, and I get to speak French all day (just so I can jolt my brain even more by switching back and forth between languages).

"This year I am treasurer of the SHARC (the Shared Heritage and Religion Committee), a group that co-sponsors free events on campus to introduce students to new cultures and encourage them to attend. I also co-coordinate the PAIR program (Program for Immigrant and Refugee Assistance) where I pair Columbia mentors with recently arrived immigrant and refugee children from around the world. PAIR keeps me very busy right now, but I love doing it."
