"St. Andrew's in 1980 is the kind of school it is because those responsible for the School over the 50 years of its existence have kept faith with the prin­ ciples upon which the School was founded. " Jonathan B. O'Brien, Headmaster

" ... Those responsible for the School's policies have not held fast to the course chartered by the founder for sentimental reasons, but, rather, because the coor­ dinates used to chart the course were fundamental, enduring principles and values. "

"Let us move back in time to the days when St. Andrew's was but a dream in the founder's mind and then work our way back to the present."

memories of the founder Excerpts from Mr. duPont's talk at the Friday Memorial Dinner.

"First, I must say my father was a religious man, who took the family to church every Sunday after he attended an early communion service by himself. He was senior warden ofSt. John's Church, now known as St. John's Cathedral, and during World War I, he built the Episcopal Church in Penns Grove across the river at Carney's Point. " "A t home, we had a Victor talking machine with a big horn amplifier that played records ofhis favorite bands: Sousa's and the University ofPenn­ sylvania's band, in which he had played when he was in college. St. Andrew's now has the old cornet he played in the band.

He also enjoyed the singing of Harry Lauder. My father studied the trombone and played in a family orchestra; he later joined the Wilmington Police Band and wore their uniform. " "His favorite sports were bird shooting, rowing, tennis, horseback riding and boating. "

A. Felix duPont, Sr.

Alexis Felix duPont first shared his dream of a church boarding school in Delaware with the late Bishop Cook in 1927. His enthusiasm, systematic organization and untiring effort led to the realization of his dream when St. Andrew's School was dedicated in the fall of 1930.

From then on, Mr. duPont frequently visited the School, worshipping in Chapel, sitting in on Greek and Latin classes, listening to the band and watching crew.

His death in 1948 left the School community saddened, but his dream of a Christian school of highest educational standards lives on.

Since 1956, A. Felix duPont, Jr. has been a very active member ofSt. Andrew's Board of Trustees. In 1959, he became Vice-President of the Board, and two years later, Executive Vice-President. Since 1974, he has been Chief Executive Officer of the Board. A tireless worker for the School and a member of every committee of the Board, he rarely misses a meeting and is a frequent visitor to the School. His many years of service have been invaluable to the St. Andrew's community.

The mural on the east end of the Dining Room, depicts the Trustees and Headmaster Rev. Pelt planning the School. In the background some of the great English cathedrals are shown to represent the Anglican inspiration of St. An­ drew's. Behind the Trustees, the Founder, backed

by Bishop Cook, is looking toward the realization of his dream on the other side of the mural.

This heroic mural took the artist, Mr. N. C. Wyeth, father of the now famous Andrew Wyeth, two years to complete and affix to its present location in 1938. Mrs. Irenee duPont donated the mural.

the first 29 years ...

"So the life and work ofSt. Andrew's School progressed through the years. " "There is not time to mention by name all who taught and coached, administered and built, cooked and cleaned, planted and mowed, led us in worship and made possible our dances, plays and movies. We are all deeply grateful to them as well as to those who made St. An­ drew's School possible in the first place. " "More than 2,000 men and women have gone on to college, to war, to work, to raising families and to great achievements . .. " Waldy Pell and Felix duPont

Excerpts from Rev. Pell's talk at the Friday Memorial Dinner.

"I'm so glad I lived to see this day. If I hadn't been 28 when it started, I might not have. It reminds me ofsimilar celebrations in the life of the School. On St. Andrew's Day, November 30, 1929, we laid the cornerstone of the Main Building."

"From that start, the School grew in enrollment, plant, landscaping, curriculum and activities to the extraordinary institution you see today.

"During the first year 1929-30, I was able to enroll 32 boys in the II and III Forms, with three more entering after school had started. " "The tuition was set at $800, and later a sliding scale from $300 to $1,000 was adopted, dependent on ability to pay. " "The chapel in those days was the room under the present business office, and services were held each evening with an early communion on Sundays. For the late Sunday service, we went to St. Anne's Church in Middletown."

"Football was compulsory for all, and played in a pasture next to the farm house until the regular fields were completed. "

"Thirty-one alumni died in World War ll, Korea and Vietnam."

"With its present enrollment, staffing and plant, St. Andrew's is ready to pursue its destiny through the last two decades of the 20th Century, and what a school it is! I never visit this campus without being completely overwhelmed all over again! When I consider the Alumni and the Alumnae, who after all are the real proof ofa school's excellence, I am overcome with pride in them, in their family life, their religious life, their accomplishments in professional, business, political, military, intellectual and other fields. "

St. Andrew's is 50 years old. What shall we say?'

academic excellence, it has witnessed to the truth that "all the wisdom of the world is puny compared to the foolishness of God," that learning detached from humility and moral obligation is a dangerous thing, that only the resources of faith enable human beings to meet failure without being discouraged, and success without being corrupted.

It is in a religious context that the curriculum, the job system, athletics, ac­ tivities and dorm life have their place-it is Robert A. Moss, Headmaster, 1958 to 1976, this context that is a special mark of St. delivered thejollowing talk at the Memorial Andrew's and holds the School together.

I first saw St. Andrew's 22 years ago. Over the years I came to see its distinguishing characteristics, marks planted in the School long before I came along and marks which endure today.

One of them is the mix of people who have been drawn to this place. They are not prep school people. St. Andrew's has always stood apart from the prep school world. St. Andreans do not fit that description, for diversity and individualism have always characterized this place.

A multitude of people have come here to study and to teach. And while at first they may have been uncertain just where Delaware is, they found a school fiercely egalitarian, determined to conduct its affairs large and small openly without fear or favor, and to give voice to all members of the community.

Another mark has been the School's sense of order. You know, St. Andrew's has no traditions. Unlike that of many schools its senior class and faculty have few privileges, just a lot more work to do. And yet, it does not take sheer power to manage this School, for an innate sense of order, good discipline, has been built into this place. It is this un­ derlying good order, founded on mutual confidence and respect, which in turn feeds the remarkable display of creative energies that burst forth here every year.

anniversary luncheon address - William H. Whyte '35 A question has perplexed many of us. We know St. Andrew's is a great school. Why don't many others? What is it that we should be discerning? Or changing? Or calling attention to?

I would like to offer a few thoughts. This is a time to celebrate, to be sure; but it is also a time for candor. In looking over the dif­ ferent aspects of the School-student body, curriculum, and thus-one denominator keeps recurring. St. Andrew's is a school that is somewhat out of step.

Location. To many people it is clear that St. Andrew's is in the wrong place. It is not in New England. It is not on the edge of a great metropolitan center. It is in Mid­ dletown, Delaware.

In actual miles, Middletown is not so very far from the city. Psychologically, however, it is isolated. The area around has no national identity. It is in fact, right on the dividing line between two cultures-the easy­ going, fun-loving culture of the Eastern Shore and the more ascetic, striving one of Southeastern Pennsylvania.

But there are blessings to be counted, and not the least of them is the fine expanse of countryside that is the School's. It is not only intact, but larger than before. Elsewhere, campuses are being encircled by develop­ ment. Not here, and as time goes on we may come to appreciate more our pastoral in­ sularity.

And Middletown, it is not quite the ar­ chetype of the American small town, but it certainly looks like it. Actually, Middletown has changed much; with many "new people" and kinds of people, but physically it has changed remarkably little. It's wonderful for aging alumni; you come back and it's the same, not a year has been added.

Religion. St. Andrews is a church school.

It is very much so. It has remained faithful to the vision of the founder. It has not watered down its chapel, its observances, its religious courses. By not doing so, it has become the

more removed from the secular society beyond.

Size. St. Andrew's is a small school. We know the disadvantages. A small school can have trouble fielding teams that win games.

There just isn't a big enough universe for the law of averages to give you huge tackles, and there isn't a big enough universe to give you a huge alumni corps.

But there is an advantage. Since there are never enough highly talented people to go around, you have to fill the bill. At St. Andrew's you are needed, to play tackle, for example, even though you wouldn't be allowed on the practice field at some other school.

Our primary talents we usually get a chance to exercise, it's the secondary ones you also get to exercise at St. Andrew's.

Many of us look back on this with some fondness-the chance to act, badly perhaps, but to act; to politick, to run, to row. And, praise be, St. Andrew's wins too.

"Out ofstep? Perhaps, but not out ofstep with needs. Those of us who have been the course know that the core ofSt. An­ drew's education is unremitting emphasis on individual, in­ dependent work. " The School has always been congenial to self expression and the tradition started with Walden Pell. He was strong for us doing things of our own devising. He was also quite tolerant. I remember that Chester Baum and I conceived the idea of a witty, scintillating revue that would parody School life. Since we were very amused with each other's jokes, we elected ourselves as the producers and broached the matter to the Headmaster. He was delighted.

And how did we repay his support? By making him the principal target-there was a skit, I recall, on cooking up overlong ser­ mons. He laughed the 'loudest of all.

In this good climate St. Andrew's became a hotbed of entrepreneurial activities and new ventures. A busy place it was, and the tradition has persisted. I quote from the report of the visiting Evaluation Committee of 1977. With what seems a mixture of awe and exasperation the report states: "It appears to the Committee that almost everyone at St. Andrews is heavily involved almost all of the time."

Community. St. Andrew's is a community and a rather close knit one. Here, too, there

12

are disadvantages. Even with all the open air and country about, one sometimes gets a feeling of claustrophobia. But one does learn to live with other people, in close, knowing proximity. People know you at St. An­ drew's.

So do the masters. To put it baldly, they are on to you. They are hard to fool-much harder, often, than one's parents. The shrewdest know when you are bulling about an assignment not done, are covering up something you shouldn't be-or, at least, they imply that they do.

The best at this cat and mouse game was Howard Schmolze. Whatever it was you had done, or hadn't done, he would look at you with a funny smile, as if to say, I know very well what you've been doing, but I'm a good­ hearted fellow and I'm going to let it pass.

How did he know, you wondered. Or did he?

It was very unsettling. But there is another side. The students get on to the masters, too.

Education. Compared to most secondary schools, St. Andrew's is conservative in its curriculum and teaching. Some would say antediluvian. I showed a St. Andrew's catalog to the superintendent of a large midwest school system. He was appalled.

Why so few electives? Why the emphasis on languages? Where were the life skills courses?

Out of step? Perhaps, but not out of step with needs. Those of us who have been the course know that the core of St. Andrew's education is unremitting emphasis on in­ dividual, independent work. Many confuse lots of electives, super contemporary sub­ jects, and such, with independent work. This is not what I'm referring to, or even the Miniterm, valuable as it may be.

I'm referring to such basics as the essay; to the discipline of taking blank pages of paper,

"Again, I pinch myself. Fifty years. Those little saplings are now great tall sycamores. I am an alumnus-a trustee, indeed.

Dignified. And yet, one gets a funny feeling that nothing has changed. " ordering one's thoughts and setting them down in some coherent fashion; of learning that it is through this hard work that you achieve that splendid end, the simple declarative sentence.

The other part of the equation is a rigorous taskmaster; someone who won't let you talk it out, but forces you to re-write, and re-write again. And with little sympathy

St. Andrew's is a school that is somewhat out of step.

William H. Whyte '35 for your feelings. I have a collection of harsh marginal comments with the initials WHC at the end of them. Here are some: "This is a pile of cliches. Write it over, and just one metaphor per paragraph please." "What are you trying to say here? I can understand none of it." "Where are your topic sen­ tences? Where is your topic?"

But we did learn. We did master the English declarative sentence. And we should be grateful. I've heard many alumni say that whatever field one ended up in, this capability has been an enormous benefit. It is an edge St. Andrew's gives us-an edge not vouchsafed many who have been exposed to a much more practical, contemporary education.

In the teaching of science here there is the same great tradition of independent work.

Bill Amos is a wonderful teacher and what is best is how he teaches students to undertake and follow through on work of their own. It is great for a student to get the hang of this sort of work-once learned, it is never forgotten-and the work itself can be outstanding. I was interested to learn from Bill that one student through electron microscopy learned how the Noxontown Pond clam produced its shell. He was the first person to look at this kind of freshwater phenomenon. He worked on it a whole year

and came up with significant findings.

Another student spent two-thirds of a year on a study of the behavior of Assateague ponies. She did a first-rate piece of work.

" ... the advent ofgirls. They have helped broaden academic studies; they have strongly contributed to the growth in the arts; and they have civilized their fellow students. " Which brings us to the most important change at St. Andrew's: the advent of girls.

They have helped broaden academic studies; they have strongly contributed to the growth in the arts; and they have civilized their fellow students. All male table talk can be an awful bore. The level of discourse is much higher-and so is simple civility. St. An­ drew's seems to be a place where people are nice to each other.

Let me return to my theme. In one degree or another St. Andrew's is indeed an in­ stitution that is somewhat out of step. The key question is whether it is out of step

13

enough.

The face we turn to the world when we try to describe St. Andrew's is often that of a well-rounded school. But it is not a well­ rounded school-certainly not in the sense that the term is generally used. We are much more asymmetrical than that. At some things St. Andrew's is not particularly good. At some things it is utterly superb.

We should make the most of these ex­ cellences. We should assert them, reinforce them. I'm not referring only to the great tradition of independent work, but of sending a crew to Henley-and having a crew at Henley win. There are great opportunities for us to further.

Again, I pinch myself. Fifty years. Those little saplings are now great tall sycamores. I am an alumnus-a trustee, indeed.

Dignified. And yet, one gets a funny feeling that nothing has changed. There, this morning, was Howard Schmolze. He was looking at me with a sly little smile, ob­ viously chuckling to himself. I thought, migosh, he's finally on to me. How did he find out? Or did he?

I hasten to conclude, in most key respects, St. Andrew's is a place that is out of step.

Thank heavens! Thank heavens! Thank heavens! And may it continue that way the next fifty years.

the Headmaster's Award for Outstanding Public Service William Hollingsworth Whyte III At the Anniversary Luncheon, Headmaster Jon O'Brien made thejollowing comments when presenting the Headmaster's A ward jor Outstanding Public Service.

This award is given from time to time to a graduate of the School who has distinguished him or herself, brought credit to the School and made a distinct contribution to the community.

The first such award was made in 1948 "to the 24 sons of St. Andrew's School who served their fellow men on the land, on the sea, under the sea and in the air in the Armed Forces of the United Nations, and who having fought the good fight and kept the faith, have finished their course, and entered life eternal."

Since that date, 23 individuals have been honored. When introducing the first of these, a member of the Class of 1935, Dr. Pell read the following statement: "Brave and resourceful officer of Marines, loyal and devoted alumnus, energetic promoter of the Alumni War Memorial, serving the nation through research and brilliant journalistic interpretation of matters political, educational, and financial, associate editor of a great magazine."

He then announced the name of William Hollingsworth Whyte III. One might well have thought that Holly Whyte would have rested on his laurels after receiving this award in 1949 at the ripe old age of 32! Happily, he did not retire and bask in the glow of his medal. No doubt his resolve to climb new mountains was a direct result of his years in the East and South Dorms. There, during the winter, if a II or III Former stopped moving, he froze to death. At any rate, Holly kept charging ahead, and he is still moving at a gallop today.

Allow me, as briefly as possible, to recount some of Holly's post-1949 accomplishments which have brought him back to St. Andrew's to be the first alumnus ever to receive the Headmaster's award for a second time.

In 1952, Holly became assistant managing editor of that "great magazine" -Fortune.

While with Fortune, he wrote Is Anybody Listening? and The Organization Man and was the editor of the Fortune series on The Exploding Metropolis.

In 1958 he left Fortune to work full time on finding ways of shaping urban growth. His Conservation Easements study led to open space statutes in California, New York, Con­ necticut, Massachusetts and Maryland. Open Space Action, a follow-up study, was published in 1961. Connecticut's Governor Dempsey solicited his help for an open space and conservation proposal for Connecticut, which was enacted in 1963. His Cluster Development study on land use planning for the American Conservation Association was published in 1964.

An appointee of President Johnson's Task Force on Natural Beauty, he drafted its final report and authored the enacted urban beautification grants program. In addition, he worked with Laurance S. Rockefeller on the White House Conference on Natural Beauty and chaired Governor Nelson Rockefeller's New York Conference on Natural Beauty. He also was one of the original members of the Hudson River Valley Commission, serving on it from 1964 to 1972, as well as being principal consultant to the New Jersey Open Space Policy Commission.

His work on land use led him closer to the core of the city, from which arose his 1968 book, The Last Landscape. He was instrumental in developing the 1969 New York City Master Plan.

After a year as Distinguished Professor of Urban Sociology at Hunter College, he con­ centrated on a first-hand study of the use of center-city streets and spaces, using time-lapse photography and other techniques. His recently published Social Life ojSmall Urban Spaces has become required reading at many architectural schools.

In short, Holly, yours has been a voice sounding from a concrete jungle. Through for­ ceful, intelligent, witty prose, you have forced your countrymen to pause and listen. You have helped preserve our fragile and threatened natural environment. You have helped improve the quality of life of our urban dwellers.

We hope the Headmaster's Award for Public Service symbolizes the obligation which a St. Andrew's education places on its alumni. This year, as in 1949, it is awarded to an alumnus who is meeting that obligation with distinction.

It is with great pleasure and appreciation that I present you with this medallion-William Hollingsworth Whyte III.

distinguished service awards

The 50th Anniversary Committee honored three men who have served St. Andrew's with unusual distinction over many years.

Mr. A. Felix duPont, Jr. presented com­ memorative medallions to each gentleman.

The remarks were made by the Headmaster.

Walden Pell II No one in this audience needs to be told of Walden Pell's service to St. Andrew's. As the School's Headmaster for the first 28 years of its existence, and, as a devoted friend of the School since his retirement in 1958, Walden Pell is a man to whom every person in this room owes more than he or she can possibly repay. He is a man of great faith and infinite love. He cares deeply for St. Andrew's and every student who has ever attended the School. At this moment I ask you to join me and Mr. du Pont as we honor him and at­ tempt to show him that his love for us is returned to him, measure for measure.

Win Schwab '36 making presentation to Felix duPont.

Robert A. Moss

Mr. William S. Potter

Our next recipient of a medallion for distinguished service to St. Andrew's is an equally familiar face. With apologies to those who attended our gathering last night, I want to repeat the remarks I made during my introduction of Robert A. Moss.

I could recite a long list of Bob Moss' accom plishments during the 18 years of his headmastership. Certainly such a list would include the expansion of our academic and athletic facilities to a status which no relatively small school I am aware of can rival. One stroll through our Science Building and gymnasiums should convince anyone of the truth of this statement.

But overseeing the expansion of the School and its transition to coeducation were probably not Bob's greatest contributions to St. Andrew's. I can think of no period of time when headmastering was more frustrating, perilous and challenging than between the mid-60's and mid-70's. The turmoil in our nation was reflected in our schools. Bob Moss and the St. Andrew's faculty exercised firm and intelligent leadership during these most difficult years, and for his strength and the steadfastness of his convictions, we owe him our heartfelt gratitude.

The third recipient of a medallion for distinguished service to St. Andrew's was to be presented by Mr. duPont to a man who is not so well known to our St. Andrew's family as Dr. Pell and Mr. Moss, yet whose service to the School dates back to 1945 when, as a young man, he joined the School's Board of Trustees. Poor health has prevented his attendance.

Mr. William S. Potter has long been one of Delaware's most respected lawyers. For 35 years he has been the man to whom other Board members and three headmasters have turned for advice and counsel whenever tough issues arose. He is a man of wisdom and great common sense. He has an uncanny knack of seeing the total picture. He has a warm and kind sense of humor.

It is perhaps understandable for an alumnus or parent to serve a school so well for so long. It is unusual, to say the least, to find such devotion in one not so connected.

Bill has decided not to stand for reelection to the Board when his term expires in November. He will be deeply missed by all of us. Yet I know that when the going gets tough, Mr. du Pont and I will be on the phone with him for informal advice and counsel for many years to come.

A. Felix duPont, Jr. The presentation was made by Win Schwab.

It is no secret that this School has a strong and deep relationship with the duPont family, beginning with Mr. A. Felix duPont's founding of the School and his providing, along with his sister, Irene, the resources to make his dreams for the School a reality. This great and wonderful tradition of family involvement continues to this day in the person of his son, A. Felix duPont, Jr., who has served the School as a Trustee since 1956 and as its President of the Board since 1974. The debt we all owe Felix and his family is incalculable. Without them, truly there would be no St. Andrew's.

Felix duPont, Jr. Challenges The Future With A Gift Of $500,000 It is a proud fact that St. Andrew's has had a strong and deep relationship with the duPont family, beginning with the founding of the School fifty years ago by Mr. A. Felix duPont.

The long tradition of A. Felix duPont, Sr.'s involvement in and support for St. Andrew's continues today in his son A. Felix duPont, Jr., who has served the School as a Trustee since 1956 and as President of the Board since 1974. Now, through Mr. duPont's great generosity, a truly significant milestone in the School's fifty-year history has been reached as St. Andrew's begins to tum outward for support of its mission. To set an example for all Trustees, alumni, parents and friends, Mr. duPont has begun the first phase of the Capital Campaign with a pledge which will amount to approximately $500,000. During the past few months ad足 ditional commitments totaling $184,500 have been received in an effort to match Mr. duPont's gift by the conclusion ofthe $1 million first phase of the Campaign next June.

Win Schwab '36, Chairman of the Capitol Campaign.

St. Andrew's Kicks Off Its First Capital Campaign With A Two Million Dollar Goal On October 4, at the Anniversary Luncheon, Chairman of the Trustee Development Committee, William H. Brownlee '44, announced St. Andrew's School's first-ever Capital Campaign, designed to raise two million dollars in the next two and a half years. Mr. Brownlee went on to announce that Trustee and Alumnus, Winthrop D. Schwab '36, "who has given years of service to St. Andrew's," has accepted the Chairmanship of the Campaign.

The announcement came after several years of consideration and study by the Board of Trustees. They came to the conclusion that income from tuition and endowment could no longer continue to meet all of the School's needs in these perilous economic times.

Fifty years ago Mr. A. Felix duPont envisioned a new school on Noxontown Pond which would provide for "secondary education of a definitely Christian character, at a minimum cost consistent with modern equipment and the highest standards." To convert this dream into reality, he accurately foresaw the need to provide not only for the School's immediate needs, but for its long-term financial well-being. Ac-

cordingly, along with his sister Irene, he created an endowment whose income enabled St. Andrew's to maintain low tuitions and a broad scholarship program, while also attending to the costs of renovation and construction.

Given this level of financial backing through the past 50 years, there was little need to seek major support from outside sources.

Recently, however, two factors have figured prominently in the School's financial picture and have necessitated a turn outward for support. First, in order IO alleviate overcrowded conditions and to increase the number of girls in the student body, two new girls' dormitory wings were constructed at Gaul Hall.

The South Dormitory was renovated to provide double and triple rooms and the large garage became a thriving Student Center. The Board of Trustees decided to proceed with these much-needed improvements even though income from the present endowment could not cover the cost of these projects. Funds were borrowed from the endowment because of the urgency of the projects and in recognition of rapidly rising con足 struction costs, thus saving the School a

17

considerable amount over what these improvements might have cost a year or two later.

Inflation, of course, is the second factor affecting St. Andrew's financial status. Just as every other private educational institution today, the School must fight rising costs, par足 ticularly in the areas of faculty salaries, building maintenance and school ser足 vices.

Win Schwab, in his address, spoke of two distinct phases of the Campaign.

The first is to be a very selective effort to raise one million dollars from a small number of alumni, parents, friends and foundations. In the second phase, St. Andrew's will reach out to its entire constituency for the remaining sum of one million dollars. Win concluded that "the Board of Trustees is convinced that the time is right, that we have demonstrably urgent needs, and that there is a willingness and ability among our Trustees, alumni, parents and friends to provide the additional support we need. I look forward to that challenge and I hope you, fellow St. Andreans, will join in this great cause."

And take note that Mike Todd's birthday party at Madison Square Garden only ran for a few hours one night.

The only thing that I can think of that was "missing" was perhaps the playing of the 1812 Overture during those fabulous fireworks!

Those that missed the celebration missed one helluva party.

L. Herndon Werth '52 New York City

There is only one word which I can use to describe the effect which the events of the 50th Anniversary weekend had on me, "inspiring." Over the years since I graduated, I have become increasingly aware of how much St. Andrew's meant to me.

Then, Friday night during dinner, I suddenly knew I had come home.

Robert T. Oliphant '53 Scottsdale, Arizona The School has changed without question-and very much for the better. The most direct com­ parison to my former days was in chapel and at dinner on Friday night, and both Nancy and I were impressed with the obvious intelligence and spirit of the students. Coeducation certainly seems to be working at SAS. We had a marvelous time, and were enriched by it. Thank you!

What a grand weekend that was-and what a wonderful school St. Andrew's is! Everything went so beautifully! You all did a tremendous job preparing for it.

That was a very happy occasion too! It was good to see so many friends and so many of the boys we used to know-and their wives and children. It was really a marvelous celebration and you all made it so!

Patty Morris Wife of James Craik Morris, Master ofEnglish, Art, Organ, and Choir Wilmington, Delaware

Thefaultless unfolding ofthe program on Friday and Saturday obviously resultedfrom your meticulous planning.

I know that you must have engaged the entire faculty and staffin the execution of the project and if there is opportunity for you to express a trustee's thanks to thefaculty and staff, I hope you will do so.

Win Schwab '36 Trustee Wynnewood, Pennsylvania

I just can't put into words my emotions about the whole weekend. I enjoyed having some students sit at the same table with me on Friday evening and I enjoyed sitting with my friends on Saturday. The band concert was just right, the fireworks were exciting, the bonfire brought back memories of other rallies, and the bagpipe band was thrilling.

The Chapel services, with Marc Cheban's music were wonderful. You and your committee did a fantastic job; it showed signs of a lot of hard work.

Dorothy Raymond Financial Secretary and Secretary to the Headmaster Newark, Delaware Before we get too far away from "our" 50th, I want to say again what a wonderful occasion it was. It seems there is a wonderful spirit at St. Andrew's. Charles and I are always happy to have an opportunity to be on campus.

I could write to Cole about his medallion; to Marc, about the "Te Deum;" to Nan, about the banners. But I could never write to everyone. So please accept my thanks for each person who helped to make the anniversary very special.

I feel privileged to have witnessed the 50th Anniversary and can hardly wait to see what the same people will do for the lOOth! Indeed I do intend to see it from my own pink cloud.

It was really great seeing you, and all the other St. Andreans that are so dear to me at the 50th Anniversary Celebration Day. The School planned a very enjoyable day-I was glad of the opportunity to par­ ticipate.

Janice Nevin '77 Cambridge, Massachusetts What a wonderful celebration! Beautifully planned and executed. Each and every (also end­ less) detail thought of and all woven together to a perfect pattern including the weather. Who got the dispensation for that?

So many astounding things happened: first time I was ever invited to a 50th Anniversary, first time I was ever a guest at the School. The student body I encountered was, without exception, pleasant, well-mannered, helpful and praises be! barbered and tidy-looking. And coming from me, that is not only saying it "like it is," but saying it all.

I am amazed at how many mental pictures I took that I will be looking at for months. I recall sounds-like the students singing Happy Birthday to the School around the bonfire as the fireworks lighted the sky and showered the dark with streamers of light.

It was a wonderful weekend. I came away proud and happy and with a great feeling that the School is now in good hands and all will be well.

Lois Voorhees Wi/eofG. Coerte Voorhees, Master of Classics, Choir, Organ, Crew East Haverhill

I would be remiss if I failed to write you how superbly the entire affair was planned and executed. Everything-absolutely everything-was done with care, sensitivity and a lively sense of the realities.

You made it a very memorable-and heart­ warming-occasion for those of us who have not been back for many years. It was truly exciting to see how St. Andrew's has come to full flower.

Robert Whyte '41 Tuxedo Park, New York The anniversary celebration was magnificent, and I congratulate you and your committees on the splendid planning and execution of the program, and I thank you for letting me have such a large part in it.

My children were ecstatic about the celebration, as were their spouses!

I am more than ever proud of St. Andrew's School and my connection with it. It is a mar­ velous institution.

As I look back on the celebration, it seems like a wonderful dream.

Rev. Walden Pell Jl

First Headmaster of SAS Elkton, Maryland

Letters received by Jon O'Brien, Headmaster It is difficult to express the pride I felt during the ceremonies of the 50th Anniversary. Oh, there were many other emotions bubbling to the sur­ face-happiness, excitement, and, in fact, exhilaration, especially at the sight and sounds of those wonderful bagpipers serenading an un­ precedented gathering of the St. Andrew's family during the Saturday luncheon. Admittedly, there were touches of melancholy: during the service at old St. Anne's, the resting place of several of the School's finest servants; a pang of sadness when Waldy mentioned my father's contribution to the School; a feeling of sorrow that this anniversary, despite its warmth and gaiety, will probably be a once-in-a-lifetime reunion of so many St. An­ dreans, past and present. For me it was a special opportunity to relish and share my fond memories of St. Andrew's life, beginning with my arrival in 1946, a mere lad of two years of age.

Fortunately, the sadder feelings were tempered by the sense of satisfaction that assured me of the great future for the School through your excellent leadership, the commitment of trustees, and the resurgence of alumni interest. Yes, I am proud to be a part of a school with such sound academic and Christian principles, proud to be a member of the St. Andrew's family, and indeed proud to have been a little "out of step" in order to have mar­ ched (with an occasional tiptoe) well equipped into that post-St. Andrew's and "extra-Noxontown Pond" future that lies awaiting for us all.

My hearty congratulations to you, Bill Amos, and on down the line for a job well done. Certainly the excellent organization of the anniversary manifests the School's underlying strength of purpose through cooperation and dedication.

Kudos to all involved.

I look forward to many more active years as an alumnus, maybe even including the 75th at the tender age of 60. Meanwhile, the 50th gave me a marvelous opportunity to reflect upon my family's 45-year St. Andrew's heritage. For that I am very thankful.

more letters ...

From all the comments I received and overheard, and in my own opinion, the whole Fiftieth An­ niversary Celebration couldn't possibly have been handled in a more tasteful, heart-warming and upbeat manner, and this is in great part due to your hard work and careful planning.

I was especially happy that the students were able to hear Felix duPont and all three head­ masters on Friday evening because it is important, I think, that they feel part of a great tradition which links them with 1,500 alumni and many other friends of the School. It is also important that alumni feel a continuance of these traditions, and I think this was very effectively conveyed by you, by the kind of program which the Fiftieth Anniversary Committee designed, and by the students themselves.

It was truly a fine celebration, and I enjoyed every minute of it.

Daniel Stoddard Brakely, John Price Jones, Inc. New York City I don't want this week to go by without expressing to you, the faculty, staff and students at SAS our appreciation for what was certainly an exciting event commemorating the 50th Anniversary of the School's founding. The entire event was thoughtfully and well prepared, and the execution reflected that preparation.

Henry N. Herndon, Jr. '48 New Castle, Delaware I can't tell you how happy I was to be present at the wonderful success of St. Andrew's 50th An­ niversary celebration. Every moment brought me pleasure. I particularly liked your introductions and expression of your thoughts. As usual, Holly Whyte "hit the nail on the head."

Seeing old friends and being greeted cordially by my many boys from Win Schwab '36 through all the classes to Howie Snyder '61 sent me away in clouds of euphoria.

Mayall your plans for St. Andrew's be highly successful, and as the wife of one who gave his all for the School, may I say that I feel that you are already giving so much to St. Andrew's.

What a truly splendid performance all turned in at your 50th celebration! From the first moment I joined the chapel service until I left with bagpipes ringing in my ears, I had the relaxed, comfortable feeling of being part of a first-rate series of events.

The students at our table on Friday evening were outstanding. I have never seen young people handle themselves with such confidence and courtesy in a similar situation. Jack and I were impressed. I was able to chat with several whom I knew personally after dinner, including Andy Gaylord, who said, "I just can't believe I've been able to do all the different things I'm doing here this year." Obviously, the students I spoke to were proud of their School and their part in it.

Liz Seabrook Trustee, Past Parent Salem, New Jersey I'm writing to thank you, the faculty, the students, the administration, the grounds keepers, and anyone else who deserves a round of applause for the 50th Anniversary performance. The services, the receptions, the luncheon, the pipe band, the exhibits, the speeches, the athletic events-all were tremendous!! You put on quite a fine show.

Thanks once again for making me feel so at home!

Louisa Hemphill '78 Philadelphia I wish to extend to you and those responsible my deepest appreciation and thanks for inviting me to be a part of the beautiful celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the founding of St. Andrew's School.

Many times memories returned during the in­ spiring services, the games, the sightseeing (so many new buildings) and the conversations with former friends.

It was indeed a wonderful day and a delightful celebration.

I write in appreciation of, and gratitude for, the 50th Anniversary celebration. Nature surely cooperated, and a fastidiously conceived and well­ executed plan caused impressive happenings in a logical sequence; all that contributed greatly to the immensely successful occasion. But in the end, I think it's the people who can claim St. Andrew's (and vice versa for they act on each other) that make it the special place it is, and made the 50th Anniversary an outstanding experience-faculty (what a richness of Headmasters was present that day!), alumni, present students and lastlY, the fans (the parents and guests)-who feel pride in the privilege of that role.

Somehow in all that litany of praise, I feel a most salient aspect of the day has been left out: what tremendous fun it all was!

Hats off to all of you and many, many thanks.

Mrs. James R. Lilley Past and Present Parent Chevy Chase

I may be prejudiced, but I thought that it was an excellent weekend. I wish that you would pass on to one and all our thanks for all the work that went into making the celebration what it was. I know how much it must take to organize so many things, on such a scale, particularly when you are getting a new school year started. Everyone should be very proud of how well things went. I feel that the Chaplains' department should be commended for keeping the weather under control.

past faculty A letter received by the Headmaster

My dear Mr. O'Brien, I feel the urge to write to you and enclose a poem that I wrote after just six months at St. Andrew's. It has expressed by sentiments for fifty years.

In September, 1929, I drove up to a bleak­ looking expanse of earth, with a noble stone building rising out of it, to interview "The Reverend Walden Pell" about the job of school nurse. I was told he is "over there" so my first view of him was of his legs and bottom, as he was head first in a large barrel!! Things progressed from there. I look back on the 18 years I was nurse, organist, choir trainer, midwife and chief antagonist of Masters, as the happiest years of my life.

For several years I have been saying, "Oh, if I can only live long enough to get back to St. Andrew's fiftieth anniversary." Now I am 82, and the fiftieth will soon be here; and because of a broken hip six months ago, I won't be able to attend!

But when I examine my feelings c1osely­ after 1 had gone through a large box of all kinds of St. Andrew's "treasures" to dig out the "Poem," I'm afraid it would be a very sad occasion for me. I have lived too long, and grieved too much that I should be alive still, while Edith Pell, "Sherry," "Ham," "Dan," "Lukey" and several more fine Masters, as well as so many of the boyfriends of "Doc" have gone before me. The thing that really shocks me is that I look at recent photos of the gatherings of alumni and recognize the names-but cannot recognize their older faces.

My Scotch-English husband, Alexander Ferguson, diedtenyears ago. We had 14 utterly happy years together, and he visited

St. Andrew's School In some mysterious sacred way Our youthful tongues cannot impart; By sparkling lake, by friendships gay By kind walls rising, firm and grey­ St.Andrew's holds us to its heart.

Well may it flourish! Founded here With loving thought, by God inspired; That boys may grow in knowledge clear ­ That Faith and Truth may be more dear ­ While Self is, more and more, retired.

Great Teacher of us all, we pray That with Thy help, St. Andrew's boys­ Through fellowship in work and play, Through earnest effort, day by day ­ May reap the best and noblest joys.

M. E.Miller May, 1931

Designer, Cole Carothers

In commemoration of the 50th Anniversary of St. Andrew's School, a medallion was commissioned. The medallion, handsomely struck in bronze, bears the logo of a griffin and column superimposed over the cross of St. Andrew; representing the State of Delaware, the duPont family and the School respectively.

The idea for a commemorative medallion was originally devised by the 50th An­ niversary Committee, who then designated the responsibility of designing the medallion to the School Att Director, Cole Carothers.

He undertook the lengthy process of researching the four symbols, making an enlarged plaster cast of the medallion, forming negative and positive impressions from this cast, and then after meticulous adjustments, sending the cast to be im­ pressed in plastic and struck in bronze by a private firm in Connecticut. The results of

his efforts are 250 medallions, measuring three inches in diameter and weighing 8.25 ounces.

Given ceremoniously to the two former headmasters of St. Andrew's, A. Felix duPont, Jr., retiring Trustee, William Potter and Holly Whyte '35 at the Anniversary Luncheon, a medallion is a unique memento of the 50th Anniversary of the School. It is, most certainly, a striking piece of art.
