THANK YOU

T

o the Ensworth community for an incredible

twelve years as Headmaster of the Ensworth School.

I knew from my first visit to the campus that Ensworth would be a great place not only for me but also for my children. I cannot express how deeply Jenny and I appreciate your hospitality, generosity, support and friendship. It has been our very great privilege to be a part of this school community that is unique in its strength and in its commitment to what’s best for all our children.

As we move on to embrace future opportunities and challenges, I am completely confident that Ensworth will continue to focus on what’s most important: preparing our children for their future beyond the classroom – preparing them to be people of integrity who are lifelong learners and who contribute to the society in which they live and work.

I am excited that David Braemer will come to provide new leadership for Ensworth. His vision and energy will enable the school to continue to move forward, constantly improving its programs and providing an excellent educational experience for each student - an experience that only gets better with each passing year.

I am totally confident that future generations of students and parents will continue to appreciate the core of what makes Ensworth a special place: the talent and dedication of our teaching faculty. Hearing our recent high school graduation speakers talk about how much they value their relationships with their teachers, from elementary years on forward, reminds me once again that mentoring by a teacher who genuinely loves his/her students is truly priceless.

Jenny and I have watched our children grow in this remarkable environment, and we have seen Ensworth grow to become a P1-12 school on two campuses with a high school that has charted new paths in many ways among the educational institutions in the Nashville area.

This sort of major change and growth doesn’t just happen – it’s the result of many people rolling up their sleeves and working tirelessly to strengthen excellent foundations and create new opportunities in education. That is the spirit that we find to be the essence of Ensworth – we join together as a community, roll up our sleeves, and work together to accomplish great things. I know that spirit will never change, and I look forward to learning about Ensworth’s progress in the future.

It has been a great ride – thank you from all the Moseleys.

Take care of each other, and take care of this place!

• Wanted a chance to ‘serve my country’ • Applied to 10 colleges • First EHS student to attend a military academy

•Noteworthy: Seen as a leader by everyone, A Project T.A.L.K. facilitator, very focused

alen Swett is one of a kind. Not one to take the easy road, Jalen has committed to a challenging but rewarding college career in accepting his appointment to West Point Military Academy. After his time on the West Point campus where he plans to study engineering, he will serve an additional 5 years in the U.S. Army followed by 3 years of inactive duty.

Why West Point? “It has the most history –Eisenhower, Lee, Grant – and was begun in 1802,” he says. Besides the physical tests (sit ups, mile run, pull ups, push ups, etc.) he also faced an interview panel for which he couldn’t prepare. He says, “This was definitely the hardest part of my application process.” Counselor Laura Stewart says, “Jalen is a young man of the highest character. As a member of Ensworth’s community, he has distinguished himself as a quiet and poised leader whose contributions have come with only devotion, and little fanfare. He’s made a tremendous impact on our campus.”

What will he miss at EHS? “The close knit community that we have here,” he says. As a Project T.A.L.K. facilitator he met weekly with the Dean of Students to plan and lead student discussions about difficult issues like racist and sexist thoughts. He says, “I learned so much from the Project T.A.L.K. experience and from my peers in the discussions.”

From Ivies to art conservatories, from military to liberal arts institutions, EHS students are encouraged to find their best fits.

LIBBY RUSH

L

ibby Rush wants to ‘seize dance now’

although her history of stellar academics could beg this question. College Counselor Missy Wallace says, “The accept rate in dance programs is like that of the Ivies - maybe 8%? Libby is very brave to choose this path as it’s a vulnerable and difficult profession.”

Why dance? Libby says, “I feel I can always go back to academics. Dance makes me incredibly happy, and my years are limited. I’m listening to my heart in this decision rather than leting the world define my direction for me.” Her goal is to be a professional dancer in a company setting. She says, “I’m stronger in contemporary or modern dance, I feel, and I’ll complete a BFA along with attending Dance Festival in Italy next spring.” Wallace observes that the arts setting Libby has chosen is one the biggest in the country with 2,300 undergrads. It’s more balanced, more academic while being very established and offers great opportunities. Libby’s advice to rising seniors, “Make a plan both within and outside your passion. Write your common app in the summer.”

auren Barnett is the ‘whole package.’ She’s eager to live on the Vanderbilt campus in the newly created residential living ‘commons’ area for 1600 freshmen. She says, “I visited many universities throughout the country and had several wonderful options but Vanderbilt had everything I wanted including study abroad in France.”

College Counselor Laura Stewart says Lauren works very hard and despite being naturally reserved, she excelled around the Harkness table.

She finished in the top of the class even with a demanding load of 7 AP exams in Statistics, Chemistry, Economics, French Language, Calculus BC and Physics C: Mechanics. Lauren also took hip-hop dance for 3 years and the dance for athletes class. She says, “I loved these classes the cardio days, the high energy, stretching and yoga - with just 6 boys and 6 girls. Of all my AP classes, I liked Calculus with Mr. Brady the best.

I just love the teachers at Ensworth.”

Interested in research in math and/or economics, Lauren was busy in the summers, too, with travel volleyball, a service trip to Peru, and working camps for Time to Rise and Kids’ Academy. Her advice to rising seniors? “Don’t put off writing your essays til the last. Take advantage of Ensworth’s essay writing bootcamp!”

• Wanted a medium sized school, small classes, school spirit, study abroad and great academics • Applied to 8 colleges

•Noteworthy: an outstanding student (7 APs), strong writer, very humble and very coachable

ilson Patton is described as an incredibly

mature student who’s in the top of his class, yet still has the joy of a teenager. College Counselor Laura Stewart, says, “We didn’t want him to miss out on his high school experience or experience burnout. He’s very driven and works incredibly hard, but he did not need to maxx out on his course load and miss out, we wanted him to have balance in his life. Seeking advice from College Counseling as a freshman was unusual for a first year student but we were delighted to help.”

Why did you come to EHS? He says, “I came because here I could be friends with students in all grades, with teachers, and with the staff.

At Ensworth, I know that there are many who are really invested in me.”

Patton has tried many things including neuroscience research at Vanderbilt with Dr. Kencatania, developing (with friends) a website for his non-profit, and developing a children’s game, a 99 cent app called Flying Meatball, which helps fund his non-profit CharityBandz. Now, he’ll be one of 6 freshmen on the men’s gymnastics squad at Stanford- keep your television tuned to collegiate sports!

7 / Summer 2012

• Always wanted Stanford, sought College Counseling advice freshman year • Took 7 AP classes • Noteworthy: began his own non-profit, set a Guiness Book of World Records • Began gymnastics at the age of 6, practices 20 hrs a week (after his shoulder surgery heals)

With only 8 years under its belt and 5 graduating classes, Ensworth High School needed a report card from some collegiates.

How did Ensworth High School prepare you for college?

How do you compare to your peers?

Current goals or after-college plans?

Here are some of their answers.

E

I

None of my friends’ high schools employed the Harkness method, so I had a definite leg up in class discussions.

Ensworth’s emphasis on public speaking and exuding confidence in class presentations has made me very secure in sharing my opinions.

Haley Evans ’10 Notre Dame University

Ensworth encouraged me to start something, like the Broadcast Club, Ensworth Live. Ensworth embraced and nurtured new ideas instead of saying “this is the way our school is and you can only do this.” At Ensworth, with closereading and Harkness table discussions, you’re really pushed to question why something is the way it is, which helps both in and outside the classroom.

verything I learned about study habits, close-reading, and class discussion at Ensworth has translated beautifully into the college classroom for me. Coming from a school with such a strong background in discussion-based learning, I feel confident conveying my thoughts and ideas to my peers.

t wasn’t the knowledge I gained at EHS that benefitted me most in college but the way I gained it. Ensworth’s culture of asking questions, discussion and caring about learning more than fact consumption sets it apart for me.

I plan to be a television-based journalist covering sports. My university is the only one in the nation with a convergence 10 / Ensights

journalism program, which allows students to prepare for the rapidly changing journalism industry and learn to cover stories from traditional news channels, such as television, and radio, to blogs and even social media sites.

William Joy ’10 University of Missouri

E

nsworth taught me how to look someone in the eye and agree to disagree. I learned how to hold my own and know that my opinion is enough. I value the feeling of camaraderie with my teachers and the belief I inherited from them that– with time, patience, and practice, lots of practice— I could achieve anything. Now, more than ever, I realize that Ensworth is a one of a kind high school.

Claire Glassford ’10 New York University

T

he breadth of EHS course requirements helped me be more open to classes I wouldn’t normally take if I focused solely on my major.

For example, I’ve taken a freshman seminar on cryptology, Japanese history, and Linguistics - Sound Patterns in Language.

The opportunities at Ensworth –service learning, Capstone, etc.– showed me that there are so many more opportunities to grab in college. I’ve been on an Alternative Spring Break trip, tutored 1st and 2nd generation youth after-school, participated in an externship at Chicago’s Adler School of Psychology, and played in master classes with world-class musicians. This is what the college experience is all about - being open to all the opportunities that surround me and using those experiences to delve into my passions.

I’m enrolled in a 5-year dual degree program here at Northwestern but plan to continue my research in graduate school in neuroscience. I’m particularly interested in communication sciences. I’m a research assistant in the Communication Neural Systems Research Group where we study the role of neurophysiology in auditory perception and learning. We’re hoping to

develop effective treatment for auditory processing deficits.

I’m currently studying how overnight learning of a tonal language affects the acquisition of different speech tones.

Christina Chintanaphol ’09 Northwestern University

H

ow did EHS prepare me?

Ensworth prepared me with its emphasis on Harkness discussion. I’m in several smaller seminar classes, and feel right at home sitting in a circular arrangement and engaging in discussion. I wish that I still didn’t have to raise my hand to talk, but I have adjusted to that.

Alex Boehm ’11 Notre Dame

H

aving to balance EHS’s classes with both extracurricular dance and college applications senior year really taught me the importance of time management. I also believe the Harkness tables were extremely beneficial. Having learned to discuss maturely with classmates and professors has been incredibly useful.

Samantha Gaitsch ’11 Washington University

T

he most valuable skill I learned at Ensworth was how to interact with professors and take advantage of their knowledge. Simply reading the textbook (if there is one) will not suffice. Ensworth’s low student to faculty ratio and emphasis on student-teacher interactions is a central theme in higher education.

Peter Awad ’11 Williams College

I

n college, I’ve yet to feel overwhelmed by the workload here. Too, I’ve been able to form valuable connections with the faculty here just like at Ensworth.

Hannah Leedle ’11 U of Richmond

A

fter hearing the high school stories of friends, I realized how grateful I am to Ensworth for its many opportunities - Capstone, service learning emphasis and its varied projects, the EHS teacher-student relationship – which make my experience stand out from those of my peers.

earning how to be an active participant in the classroom has benefitted me the most. During my freshman year, my professors in discussion sessions would often comment on my willingness to jump in and contribute.

As a basketball player, time management has been very important. At Ensworth, having free periods where it was up to me to decide how to use my time taught me to get my work done before practices or games. I’ve been challenged academically like I never thought I would be, but I’ve never been overwhelmed and I have Ensworth to thank for that. Ensworth more than prepared me for the rigorous course work at Cornell.

ifelong learners? These Capstone Scholars learned more than they anticipated as they began their individual processes but then re-invented them and became even more inspired. Funny that their faculty mentors learned a great deal, too.

Faculty Mentors: Jeanne Hubert Tom Jackoboice Dr. Andy Kelley Jim Miller Sean Smith David Whitfield Danny Wright

Mary Elizabeth Colton Bucknell “In studying the evolution of theater and writing an educational play about it I learned a lot about myself, too.”

Miller Morris is a Capstone pioneer. She created a 4-week summer intensive called “Paso a Paso” designed to increase academic development for 4th graders for whom English is a second language. Similarly, she has selected and hired high school counselors with some proficiency in Spanish who can also benefit from this program. “It’s a win-win situation,” says David Whitfield who mentored Morris. “She is a go-getter who interviewed members of the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and located a local site (Harding Academy) to host this brand new camp. Amazing!”

Tom Jackoboice, Capstone

Ben Byrd SMU “During the process of writing a plan for my prospective business, I branched out into finance and buy/hold or sell ratings.”

Director, says “These students are Ensworth’s most passionate learners on their individual topics. These kids are so lucky to have found topics that they love enough to study independently.”

Jim Miller who mentored Mary Elizabeth Colton called her “a rare learner who is both artist and intellectual.” Jeanne Hubert says, “When Carol Allen approached me about studying the Great Depression, I was a little underwhelmed.

Well, leave it to Carol to turn her laser-like focus to a topic I knew well and turn me into a student!” Carol’s original plan of focusing on Tennessee dur-

ing the Depression changed to a real interest in children during this particular time.

“Time management became a big issue,” says Mary Elizabeth Colton. Students had to balance their research and their writings along with AP classes, drama practices, college applications and interviews and varsity sports.

Capstone students were both passionate about their subjects and committed to in-depth study. Erin Miller says, “My Capstone project has helped shape me into a more accepting and understanding human being.”

Carol Allen Denison University “Life was harder yet simpler during the Great Depression. Everyone I interviewed said it made them stronger, wiser and a better person.”

backyard science H

ow many types of organisms live under the bridge you drive over every day on your way to work? What forms of life are living in that creek cutting through your neighborhood?

Ensworth High School students are taking the opportunity to study the wildlife living in their own backyard. The students are able to study marine ecology, plant growth and the presence of animals in the creek without even leaving the campus.

There have been crayfish, snakes, larvae, gastropods, crane fish and small swimming schools of fish spotted in the creeks right outside the doors.

I was impressed with the number of crayfish and the different species we found. Our creek has a diverse population which is only true when the water is clean. C. Deaton ’12 Students learn to notice the changes in the creek over time and the impact human activity can have on the ecosystem. For example, the presence of trash in the creek one day led to a great discussion on responsibility for one’s surroundings and being a good steward of nature. This aquatic ecology class allows students to really experience the science while being outdoors in the natural world. Students see that even in their own backyard there is a playground of ecosystems ready explore.

Lucy Organ, EHS Science Faculty, says,“It’s been a great privilege to have such a protected habitat right outside our door to visit. It is so easy to drive or walk past something like our creek and never think about what lives there. We have talked about the fact that nature just goes on with its own business whether humans are watching or not.”

S

tudents go to Six Flags? Sure! Our traditional eighth grade science trip serves several purposes. First, it helps them understand that physics is about modeling real world phenomena. Secondly, the trip celebrates the winding down of our time together at Red Gables and generates excitement about our final project, the roller coaster “build.”

As seventh graders, our students study the Law of Conservation of Matter - matter can’t be created or destroyed in a closed system - only transformed from one form to another. Coasters are an excellent way in eighth grade to extend that understanding to the Law of Conservation of Energy – the transformation of potential energy to kinetic energy. Actually building roller coasters helps students conceptualize these principles as they relate to the height of the coaster and the changes in speed as it progresses. Besides, who doesn’t love a good roller coaster ride?

ROLLER COASTERS I’ve seen them in the hall ever since Pre-First Grade.

I’ve seen all the different themes.

I’ve seen all the different tricks.

I’ve seen the best of the best over the years.

And now it’s my turn.

I can’t wait to build a roller coaster!

Working with new people, Thinking up the craziest tricks to do, Deciding on a fun theme, This project is going to be the best project in all my years at Ensworth.

The satisfaction you get when it is finished.

All the younger kids having fun playing with it.

I can’t wait to build a roller coaster!

James Smitherman, Grade 8

While understanding the underlying physics concepts is the primary goal, our students also gain good practice with mathematical equations that model objects in motion. With the firm foundation in Algebra I our eighth graders have at the end of the school year, these mathematical equations can be appreciated when we actually study and build model roller coasters.

As ninth graders in high school, our students will arrive with a strong foundation in Newton’s laws of motion as well as an introduction to the kinematic equations that model accelerating objects. As middle school science teachers, we feel validated.

What’s the best lesson students learn from this? Collaboration –learning to work productively as a team. This is at the heart of our roller coaster project and also at the heart of our middle school science program. The “build” requires the synthesis of many different skill sets (engineering, creativity, time management) and demands that all group members work together to achieve their goals. When students are having fun learning together with projects like this, we see them arriving at school extra early and staying late just to fine tune these special roller coaster projects – together.

ONNIE BRYAN is the tri-fecta of visual and

performing arts. He’s taught studio and AP art, performed professionally with a touring company, and now has a technical theater team that can “run the show.”

Why Ensworth? “I saw opening a new theater as the opportunity of a lifetime and it meshed beautifully with my passion for theater arts in education. I wanted to work in an environment where the arts are an integral part of the school community. The study of drama, dance, music, and visual arts help students to explore realities, relationships, and ideas that cannot be conveyed simply in words or numbers.”

• 4th Yr at Ensworth • B.S. U of North AL in Theater, English & Studio Art • Graduate studies at UNA -Education, Alabama A & M Visual Art • Professionally

trained in lighting consoles, entertainment electricity, rigging

“I spent most of the first year reading manuals - manuals for remotes, sound, video, lighting, even for changing fuses in the orchestra lift.”

Bryan has a degree in studio art with a focus on design. This allows him to create production design concepts that will run coherently throughout every aspect of a production. He says, “Having the opportunity to work with Ensworth students in creating the musical production is the most exciting project for me. I couldn’t wait to get a tech team up and running here. With a landmark facility and theater venue like ours, I wanted to see our students take control of our lighting, sound, stage management, and design and construction.” He feels technical experience gives students the chance to step into someone else’s shoes in a safe and meaningful way. He says, “Theater teaches student about the world and their place in it. And I think that’s what all education ought to be about.”

At heart while he says he’s a set painter who loves to “dress” a set and paint scenery, he’s also a showman. He performed in a professional touring production of You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown and has stepped onto the EHS stage numerous times as a faculty member who can both sing and act.

Besides being named Dept. Chair of Visual & Performing Arts at EHS, he also serves as Chair of the Thespian Scholarship Program which auditions and interviews talented student applicants yearly.

AITLIN HARRIS chose Mandarin Chinese

after a decade of studying French and even a year of Russian. Her young students greet her excitedly in this new-to-them language when she

enters their classrooms. Through aural instruction–nothing written– the children have learned numbers, colors and even favorite flavors of ice cream in Mandarin. Enunciating clearly to convey the language’s inherent tonal differences, Harris teaches using singsong repetition, games, and a basket full of visual props that her students enjoy.

She says, “Students naturally have a good ear at the younger ages and have no inhibition at all. They just soak up the sounds and four tones of the Chinese language. I love to have the students pretend they are shopping or eating at a cafe near the Forbidden City as they practice their vocabulary.

“Most people don’t know that Chinese is intuitive and builds on itself. Starting Chinese early means these children have an advantage in learning an important language.”

What do you value most about Ensworth? Harris says, “I love how the Ensworth faculty really lets kids explore and be curious in their studies. Students are given the freedom to really enjoy learning and experience learning with their peers.”

This former gymnast and gymnastics teacher says she spent a good portion of her childhood upside down. She says, “I competed up and down the East Coast and spent 3-4 hours each day in the gym from 4th grade on. I taught gymnastics all four years of college and through graduate school - although I certainly wouldn’t attempt an aerial now!”

Summer 2012 will find Harris on an “amazing adventure on the Silk Road in China” after being accepted for this educator-only trek by the National Consortium for Teaching about Asia.

ORDON TERWILLIGER’S “college professor demeanor” is a hoax.

His middle school students readily appreciate his quirky sense of humor that creeps in unexpectedly to enliven the lesson at hand.

A transplant from Florida, Terwilliger came to Ensworth in 1989 after serving as an independent school Headmaster in North Palm Beach. As a native of New York state, he was seeking a 4-season climate, a more community-minded atmosphere and a less demanding administrative job so as to spend more time with his family. “Ensworth, at that time, was quaint with a family of cats in the library fireplace, the Auction was held in tents on the front driveway, and effusively friendly colleagues like Rose Pickel welcomed me, Frannie and my two young sons.”

Why teach history? “For me, history explains who we are as a society and how we behave as individuals. Many great leaders have appreciated and been well versed in history for these very reasons. I truly enjoy teaching students in an active classroom that includes journals, novels, poetry and chances for students to speak in front of classmates - all projects that get us away from textbooks.”

• 35th year teaching • 23rd yr at Ensworth • B.A., M. Ed. State University of New York - Albany • Distance Runner • Ski Instructor • Summers in Stowe, Vermont

This former ski instructor, ski patrolman, ski shop manager was “snowed” there by his future wife Frannie so, he says, “overall, the ski area experience was a worthwhile experience.”

Too, Terwilliger’s return to the history classroom brings a wealth of other experiences including house parenting at a boarding school, directing RG admissions, chaperoning Coach Inman’s last Out West trip and coaching baseball, soccer, cross country, tennis and even football. He says with a laugh, “We ran a lot of crazy plays on offense.” Discovering distance running in his fifties, Terwilliger completed 160 races in an 8-year period. He says, “The first race I ever ran was 5 miles in tennis sneakers with Bev Roberts and Cris Hempel in Brentwood!”

In his deferential manner, Terwilliger says, “I’m sure Mr. Moseley asked me to teach middle school history as a way of keeping the better teacher, Frannie, in 8th grade English!”

ittle Shop of Horrors satirizes many things: science fiction, “B�movies, musical comedy itself, and even the Faust legend.

Thirty years ago, it may have seemed improbable that a musical with its roots in a low-budget thriller would, one day, blossom into an American classic, launching an award-winning composer-lyricist partnership. Yet, that is precisely what sprouted from the 1982 collaboration of Howard Ashman (book and lyrics) and Alan Menken (music) with the premiere of Little Shop of Horrors at the WPA Theatre in NYC.

Little Shop of Horrors Ensworth High School February 10 - 11, 2012

I think what I have found so fascinating about this musical is just how far we are sometimes willing to go to get what we want. I think that Little Shop of Horrors offers the audience a rather macabre view into the manipulation of the human psyche and its need to “have or covet” something else.

It is obvious that the depth of this production is fairly limited when we think of its intrinsic value.

However, the most striking aspect about the musical comes from within the characters and their interaction with each other.

It is the relationships that they build and the basic needs of survival that act as the catalyst for the characters’ choices and actions throughout the production.

Though Little Shop of Horrors truly falls into a category of being primarily a mode of entertainment and spectacle, I hope the audience sympathized with each character’s situation.

our town O

ur Town is perhaps your typical cliché school play.

RG Drama Club February 23, 2012

They say this drama is performed at least one time every night somewhere in the country. The beauty of this play is found in the actors and Wilder’s brilliance in depicting daily life.

We performed a few scenes from Our Town then watched an EHS rehearsal where our MS actors came to fully appreciate the play’s message.

I always loved the idea of seeing different monologues or small pieces of theater where many students can be showcased. The students worked very hard in a short amount of time and really embraced the show. It was serendipitous that Ensworth High School performed Our Town in its entirety this spring. It gave us a great opportunity to collaborate on some fun activities.

Our middle school students visited the high school where they got to experience a rehearsal and meet some of their cast counterparts. This was a great learning opportunity for the middle school and high school students alike and helped celebrate that we are one school–two campuses.

our town O

ur Town is as well constructed a play as I know.

It is eloquent, careful and concise. There is nothing wasted in it. It strikes a pure note. It doesn’t matter how many times I read it, how many times I teach it. Every time I know exactly what is coming, and every time it gets to me. . . the bit about Joe Crowell, the bit about Babylon, the bit about the eternal nature of human beings, the bit about the union soldiers, the final lines. Our Town doesn’t hit below the belt; it hits you right in between the eyes.

EHS Performers May 4–5, 2012

Our Town doesn’t hit below the belt;

it hits you right in between the eyes.

Our Town is one of the great plays about community and about living together well. Like King Lear, it explores both our blindness and our moments of clarity. One thing that it helps me to see more clearly is how much I love these kids and cherish our time together in this place.

Our Town helps me to remember that these few years together are about so much more than merely preparing for the future. Each class has the opportunity to live well together in this place, just for a moment. One of the things I love most about teaching is watching them try.

DID YOU KNOW? Devon Farm’s Caldwell Collection

By Donnie Bryan, EHS Arts Department Chair

The Caldwell Collection is made up of art donated to the Ensworth High School Arts Department by Ben and Gertrude Caldwell.

This extensive collection includes numbered and signed original prints and numbered and signed lithographs. A variety of themes are represented including landscapes, portraits, cityscapes, florals, ceramics, sculpture, American folk art, and African art. There is a large collection of prints by John James Audubon who set a new standard for artistry and printing. Perhaps above all else, Audubon was a lover and observer of birds and nature. As I recently explored this portfolio from our collection of his prints, I found myself reflecting on the complex story that each painting is telling and the fragile beauty it is depicting. Over a dozen of the Audubon prints behind glass were displayed in the main gallery of the EHS theater this past year.

This collection will remain a great addition to the Arts Department’s collection, and a tangible expression of the Caldwells’ generosity. It is an affirmation that the visual arts are an integral part of Ensworth School’s mission as an institution that values the arts. There is no substitute for original artworks; the aesthetic awareness and appreciation for the visual arts will enrich the Ensworth community for years to come. We will continuously rotate the display of the art throughout the entire arts building. Currently in the works is a display for the 2012–2013 school year of a portion of the African pieces to be viewed in the high school library.

Many of our Arts Building classrooms and offices have a Caldwell Collection piece on display. I share the Caldwells’ philosophy that art appeals to the depth of our inner being and it is to be displayed, viewed and enjoyed.

lumna JEANIE C. NELSON ’61

Land Trust CEO Environmental advocate Political activist Adventurer

J

eanie C. Nelson ’61, honored this spring as Ensworth’s 2012 Distinguished Alumna, began her address to the EHS community with profound words from T.S. Eliot.

“We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.” T. S. Eliot

Jeanie is no stranger to exploration, and her life’s journey includes a variety of interesting experiences. She began her career as a lawyer at a time when very few women were involved in the legal field. She became a partner at Gullett Sanford Robinson & Martin where she practiced for 13 years before becoming Chief Deputy Attorney General for Tennessee in 1989. She was also active in the political realm, serving as Tennessee Campaign Manager for Al Gore’s Presidential Campaign and later as Director of President Clinton’s Crime Prevention Council.

Ultimately, Jeanie’s passion for the environment led her to establish, with former Governor Phil Bredesen, the Land Trust for Tennessee, where she is currently president and executive director, leading the efforts of communities and individuals to preserve and protect historic and natural land areas in Tennessee. Jeanie summed up her experiences with another T. S. Eliot line: “If you aren’t in over your head, how do you know how tall you are?” challenging students to step outside their comfort zones to welcome new and different adventures. In addition to her assembly presentation, Jeanie also talked with Lucy Organ’s (’72) AP Environmental Science class, answering questions about the mission of The Land Trust for Tennessee and encouraging students to think about how they can help preserve the land for future generations.

generosity: the act of gifting unselfishly

for the benefit of others; the bequest of 107 artworks in 2004 to Ensworth High School

by Gertrude & Benjamin Caldwell

W

hen Ensworth High School opened in September 2004, its Visual Arts complex was a beautiful but sterile building of shiny hallways, waxed floors, and natural light flooding its studios and classrooms.

The Caldwells’ gift of paintings (Red Grooms, Miles Maille) sculptures in soapstone, granite and metal (Tim Lewis) and varied wooden artifacts transformed the building’s interiors almost overnight. Surrounding students with gallery-worthy artworks allows boundless creativity to develop thanks to the generosity of Gertrude and Ben Caldwell.

Legacies last forever. For more information, contact Bedell James: jamesb@ensworth.com
