ear Friends,

Happy Birthday to us! This year has been one of celebration and accomplishment. We commemorated Derryfield’s 50th anniversary in fine style, thanks to the efforts of hundreds of volunteers, faculty, staff, alumni, parents, and grandparents. The celebration included phenomenal events like the Gala, which was attended by over 550 friends; a presentation on passion and entrepreneurship, co-led by classmates David Snow ’72 and Gary Hirshberg ’72; and a smashing Head’s Holiday on the 50th day of school. Art exhibits and student programs marked the year as well, like Fifty Acts of Kindness which enabled our students to spread the spirit of anniversary gratitude through local and global good deeds, and culminated in the senior class gift to Candy Chaplin’s Nepal Children’s Health and Education Foundation.

Accomplishment distinguished this year as well, as the community worked to implement the first year of our new strategic plan. These pages will provide glimpses of the remarkable headway made by our strategic plan teams, which were composed of trustees, faculty, staff, alumni, students, and friends. Progress was made in program development in the areas

of leadership; STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math); internships; academic support and enrichment; and the Middle School skills initiative, the Mosaic program. A master facilities plan was completed, and has already started guiding our efforts to improve the campus so that it suits 21st century teaching and learning needs.

A year of looking backward and working forward simutaneously, such a feat! Thank you to all of you who helped make it a success.

Best,

Mary Halpin Carter, Ph.D. Head of School

DSMASH : ALL THINGS SOCIAL @ DERRYFIELD In tandem with my parents, the Derryfield faculty members have taught me to apply ambition, passion, charisma, and articulation to all facets of my life.

Perhaps the greatest lesson that I’ve learned from my six years at Derryfield is that only by trusting in my own strength can I overcome obstacles. I’ve also come to realize that, for me, true happiness comes from personal growth and pride in my accomplishments.

campus notes DERRYFIELD BUILDS UP STEAM Using online tutorials, students “learn the basic concepts of Computer Science with drag and drop programming.” The goal of the program is to “demystify” computer science, and set students on a path of STEM success.

This was an early step to a more purposeful approach to STEAM (STEAM adds arts to the science, technology, engineering, and math mix) at Derryfield. While Derryfield’s offerings in specific subjects—especially science, art, and math—are already strong, the expanded goal is twofold. The first is to introduce STEAM learning earlier in a student’s career through a combination of academic and club activities. The second is to expand and improve existing offerings, and work on integration across disciplines.

L

ast December, Derryfield middle schoolers celebrated Computer Science Education Week by participating in the “Hour of Code,” a worldwide project that introduces students to computer programming.

Middle school students are taking time in their math classes to work on programming, and a Lego Robotics Club is planned for the Middle School. A Science Bowl team is planned for the Upper School, adding to the Robotics

Club and Math Teams already in existence.

Upper school students will have two new art courses to explore, Graphic Design and Digital Art. One day soon, every student may have the chance to create cross-discipline STEAM projects in their classes, which they can then present or display to the rest of the school.

New faculty member and STEAM teacher Marco Masoni is especially excited about the crosscurricular idea. He comes to Derryfield from the Milken Community Schools in California, where he launched the Milken Innovators Xpo (MIX), which he describes as the “next generation science fair.” MIX gave middle school students the opportunity to showcase projects they had been working on throughout the year, in which they used skills and knowledge gained in different STEM courses. He sees this same potential in Derryfield’s focus on STEAM, not just learning the subjects, but using them to build an “innovator’s mindset,” using a student’s own interests and identity. Stay tuned, as our STEAM engine gets going!

INDEPENDENT SENIOR PROJECTS WRAP UP ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL YEAR

O

ne of Derryfield’s unique and special programs, Independent Senior Projects (ISP) give seniors the opportunity to create their own curriculum and do something personally meaningful with their spring term. Whether it’s interning at a Fortune 500 company or the local public radio station, or pursuing an artistic vision, an ISP is all about exploration and discovery.

David “Sandy” Lockwood worked at The Hotel Portsmouth, a new boutique hotel on the seacoast. He saw an independent, entrepreneurial business in its first year of operation, and experienced the hospitality industry firsthand.

worked on incorporating “mindfulness” into the Middle School’s “World of Difference” program.

Tess Regan created art on campus, including a wooden silhouette of a skier decoupaged with area ski maps. She also painted a triptych reflecting her experience in Nepal in March.

Stephanie Tonneson dove into music, from composing, to production, to performance.

She wrote a number of her own pieces, then produced them with help from Brian Coombes at Rocking Horse Studios in Pittsfield, NH and performed them at venues around the area. To hear them for yourself, look for her music on iTunes!

Elizabeth Ludwig pursued her interest in architecture with the firm of Lavallee Brensinger. Her main project was researching and designing a daycare facility for the children of staff members at the Presidential Oaks Retirement Community.

Brittany Northrup divided her time, first acting as a marketing intern for a start-up yoga studio in Bedford, where, with a “budget of zero,” she helped the owner gain new customers. She also

Aspiring doctor Katelyn Mullikin shadowed three different types of surgeons. She was able to see a number of procedures, and was appreciative that she got to do “something that I probably won’t have the opportunity to do again until medical school.”

PROM, RAINBOWS, SLAYER, AND ALL

I

attended my senior prom as half of a same-sex couple. At first, it seemed just like anybody’s dream prom should be.

In true teen movie fashion, my girlfriend formally asked me to be her date with a mix tape—a questionable yet charming lineup featuring Van Halen, Deep Purple, and Slayer, which is just truly the heart of romance. I helped her pick out her dress (a stunning Adrianna Papell number, thank you very much), and we bought our Midnight in Paristhemed tickets from the class president during lunchtime, just like everybody else.

“You can’t do that!” our peers protested. “You two are going as a couple? No way!” Why not, we asked, our rainbow hopes seemingly fizzling on the launch pad. “Because you’ll look so much hotter than everyone else! It’s not fair!”

But there was an element to our experience that was unlike that of many.

And there you have it, folks: The Derryfield/ LGBT experience in a vignette. Honestly, nobody cares how not-straight you are. All of our friends love us both individually and as a couple. They’re just concerned that we’re going to upstage them in photos (which, can I just say, we totally did). Fear not, however; Derryfield does feature a lovely support organization for those who are in need.

Most couples’ announcements of their prom plans are heralded with choruses of approval and awww-ing, and we had naively hoped that our case, at a place as open and accepting as Derryfield, would be the same. Of course, it wasn’t. When the word got out, we were met with looks of horror and cries of anguish.

GLOW (formerly known as the Gay-Straight Alliance, standing for Gay, Lesbian, Or Whatever) is a student-based organization, run out of the guidance counselor’s office, that hosts dances and bake sales as well as discusses important current LGBT events and works with the administration on policies

doing research and arranging interviews for others. She also researched and wrote a piece of her own for NHPR’s “Foodstuffs” blog on the dilemma faced by locally sourced restaurants in the state during the off-season.

Samantha Fogel spent her time as an intern at New Hampshire Public Radio, shadowing reporter Sam Evans-Brown on stories, and

to make Derryfield an even safer and more comfortable place for students of all sexualities and gender identities. For example, we recently installed an all-gender single bathroom in the Upper School. GLOW provides an important resource for all students and faculty, assisting in improving the Derryfield community overall.

And yes, we wound up having an absolutely wonderful prom, rainbows, Slayer, and all.

with family friends and studying Chinese manufacturing practices of high end products.

ISPs are not always about success. Some projects don’t turn out the way students hoped, like Tess Regan’s “Smile Collage” (“great in theory… but when I compiled all of them…it just looked kind of creepy”), and others discovered that a field that had always sounded appealing was perhaps not what they wanted after all, as Elizabeth Ludwig discovered with architecture.

Whatever the outcome, though, every student got to explore, express, and challenge themselves; and in the end, found the experience memorable and valuable.

ART NO INSTR’UMENTS NECESSARY the Beelzebubs (the ’Bubs). Besides opening the show, Derryfield’s groups also attended a pre-show workshop, where, Ms. Acker said, the ’Bubs “coached [them], sang with them, talked about different aspects of the style, gave specific feedback, got them encouraged and psyched about what they are doing.” It was amazing, she said, “for the students to work closely with such an accomplished college group. Our kids got A LOT out of it.”

Encore, too, has added more a cappella pieces to their repertoire, including “I’m Yours” by Jason Mraz, which they performed to an enthusiastic crowd at the Spring Concert in May. They also made a splash in the Manchester community, singing the national anthem at a Monarchs game and serenading Ellie Goodwin Cochran ’69 at her Manchester Citizen of the Year celebration in April.

K

risten Acker, Derryfield’s Director of Choral Music, has done exciting things with Derryfield’s young singers in one short year.

Not just one, but two new a cappella choruses, the AcaFellas (all-male) and Polyphony (all-female) have joined the existing Encore (coed) group to delight audiences at school and in the community.

Being new, the groups spent much of the year building their repertoires.

Their first real outing came in March, when they got a chance to sing alongside Tufts University’s nationally-known a capella group,

Besides giving Derryfield’s singers another musical outlet, the new groups do much more. Ms. Acker commended students Katelyn Mullikin ’15, Eliza Kissick ’16, Zach Speigel ’15, and Matt Alfano ’15 for taking on leadership roles in their respective groups, helping to organize, recruit members, and run rehearsals. Also, with no accompaniment to fall back on, it’s helped the singers gain confidence and work as a team. Finally, she loves how it has added to the “musical atmosphere on campus”—a cappella singers make music wherever and whenever, and the School comes alive with song.

50TH ANNIVERSARY ALUMNI ART SHOWS

Fifty years is a lot of time to devote to the creation of art; at Derryfield it has been an integral part of the community. For the past fifty years, there have been many who created art while at the School and then went forth into the world to “create out there.” It was no surprise, therefore, that as part of the 50th Anniversary Celebration many of these alumni artists were called back to show their work at the place their artistic journey began.

Derryfield’s Lyceum Gallery and Sculpture Garden devoted its 2014-2015 shows to highlighting alumni successes in the world of art.

Photographers Ira Chaplain ’71 and Michael Swartz ’08 were the first artists in the early fall. The late fall show, Medley, featured talent from the first graduating class of 1968 to recent college graduates. This show presented the work of Mary Jane Peabody ’68, Linn Krikorian ’72, MJ Blanchette ’82, Brady Bonus ’90, and Chandra Taylor ’10. The winter show, The Journey: Three Paths of Creative Discovery, featured a range of work from three very different professional artists: Jeffrey Frederick ’87, Erica Felicella ’96, and Victoria Brenner ’99.

AN END OF AN ERA: ANDY MOERLEIN’S FINAL DERRYFIELD ART TRIP

E

ach spring, art teacher and Derryfield icon Andy Moerlein takes his studio art class to New York City to experience some of the art that the Big Apple has to offer. The 2015 trip was bittersweet, as it was Mr. Moerlein’s last trip as a Derryfield faculty member, so we thought we’d let him tell you a bit about the last of these special experiences, in his own words.

“It was a brisk but promising 6:00 a.m. meet up: nine Derryfield arts enthusiasts and me, Andy Moerlein, complete with weekend bags, great snacks, and optimistic plans. By 10:25 a.m. we were at Dia Art Foundation: Beacon for a behind-the-scenes tour of Michael Hiezer’s North, East, South, West. Our early arrival allowed us unrestricted access to the huge negatives Heizer has designed for Dia: Beacon’s spacious gallery. We were allowed to the edge where we could fully sense the depth and shape of the vast 25 foot deep forms. All surely woke up after that morning experience.

Next we drove to the iconic Storm King Art Center. Frolicking in the full sun we enjoyed our first real taste of spring so far this year! The art is spread over 200 acres of groomed lawns and shaped forests.

We saw some of the largest sculptures in the world; such scale in the open landscape inspired real gasps. The art was bold and the artists were often recognizable to our well-studied students.

reminiscent of Isabella Stewart Gardner’s home and museum, was a great opportunity for a pause as we filled our eyes with so many rich and varied sights. Despite our long walks and many discussions, every student seemed focused and happy to be so fully engaged.

After The Cloisters closed, we hiked through Central Park to see the Plains Indians Exhibition [at the Met]. This exceptional show of fine Native American art is some of the earliest art preserved by western collectors. Mostly owned in Europe, the Met has done a huge service of bringing this work back to American audiences.

Sunday morning, we strolled to Broadway to see the Avian Avatars.

These monumental sculptures were made by the Myth Makers, Donna Dodson and her husband, ME! The students asked great questions and got a very personal tour of these five sculptures. From Manhattan we took the subway to the Brooklyn Museum of Art to see Kahinde Wiley’s huge show. His massive canvasses, stained glass, and bronze sculptures exalt women and men from the African Diaspora.

Our final subway ride back to Manhattan ended at the Japan Society.

The Lives of Cats was on display there—a vast collection of cat imagery that spanned the earliest introduction of domestic cats in the sixteenth century, to more contemporary images from anime and manga.

From the Hudson River, we drove to The Cloisters. Sacred carvings, gold leaf, and fine decorative objects were all a delightful contrast to our mostly contemporary art viewing thus far. The lovely garden,

This is what art study is all about; well informed friends sharing many experiences and discussing/comparing our individual reactions to what we saw.”

Attention, featured pieces by Emma LeBlanc ’05, Sara Crisp ’76, and Jeffrey Cooper ’69. The final art show of the year brought back some of the best works by the alumni artists who had been shown in the gallery over the year, with new works by other alumni artists: Arden Barlow ’08, Colette Chretien ’09, Marguerite Congoran ’01, Matt Connolly ’03, Matt Dinsmore ’12, Olivia Donahue ’11, Patrick Johnson ’97, Jim Larson ’13, Becca Maglathlin ’00, Lindsay Matheos ’14, Zoe Morgan ’13, Gerard Murphy ’98, Heather Koerber

Nunes ’86, Shireen Patel ’09, Liza Richardson ’09, Kim Allard Socha ’85, Lily Steiner ’14, and Amanda Fiedler Wastrom ’97.

A total of 25 alumni artists were represented in this show, with media ranging from photography, to wood, to hooked woolen rugs; exhibiting the exemplary scope and mastery of Derryfield alumni artists.

ART PETER PAN This year’s middle school musical was Peter Pan—an apt choice for Derryfield’s 50th year. It was first staged as a middle school play in the spring of 1971, and has been produced once every decade since then. The show was a musical romp for actors and audience alike, and thanks to Flying By Foy, the company that manages the flying and special effects for numerous Broadway shows, Derryfield’s student actors took flight in style.

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST This year’s upper school musical was another crowd favorite, Beauty and the Beast. Although Mother Nature threw the players a curve with a massive snowstorm, the show did go on, and to more than just Derryfield students and their families. The players put on a special Friday morning show, to which a number of local schools were invited. About 300 students, in grades 1–6, were entranced by the show, after which the cast made themselves available to talk and sign autographs.

LEND ME A TENOR Though not the musical, the upper school play, Lend Me a Tenor, kept a musical theme going. Written in 1987, and a winner of multiple critical awards, it featured all the elements of a classic “bedroom farce:” slamming doors, mistaken identities, jealous spouses and a show that “must go on.”

Both the boys’ and girls’ soccer teams won their state championships, with the boys winning despite having graduated some key players last year. The excellent recent performance of two of our teams, field hockey and golf, merited their move up a division, to D-II and D-III, respectively. Casey Hecox ’15 continued her winning ways in cross country, taking first place at the D-III State Championships, while the boys’ team came in second overall at their championship meet. Our middle school athletes even got in on the action, with the field hockey team winning their first Tri-County Championship ever!

Hannah Kelsey ’16 competed at the U.S. Amateur Ski Nationals in Colorado, an invitation-only competition of the top boys and girls in each age group. She snowboarded in three competition types: slopestyle, rail jam, and border cross.

Jakob Murray ’19, a level 9 gymnast, competed at the Junior Olympic Nationals the last two years. Jakob competes as an All Around gymnast on the Floor, Pommel Horse, Still Rings, Vault, and High Bar. In the spring of 2015, he placed 11th All Around at the J.O. Nationals in Daytona, FL.

y the time you read this, Breakthrough Manchester (formerly Summerbridge) will have wrapped up its summer session at The Derryfield School and will be in the midst of planning to celebrate its 25 th Anniversary in 2016.

Several events are planned, including: a dinner to honor former Executive Director Kate Erskine and her 14-year tenure; the second annual Back to Summer Breakfast; and a 25 th Anniversary reunion party next summer—on Friday, July 15, 2016.

Since the program’s founding in 1991, nearly 850 high school and college students, many of them from Derryfield, have taught in this awardwinning program to close the educational opportunity gap for underserved middle school students in Manchester. Teaching in the school year program offers an exploratory dabble working with bright students with limited opportunities, while the intensive summer session provides a full immersion

into what it means to be an educator. The experience can be life-changing, often instilling or solidifying a passion for teaching and a commitment to educational equity.

More importantly, the college aspirations and future educational trajectories of 1,000 bright students from underserved Manchester middle schools have been influenced over the years. In fact, Breakthrough Manchester students attend college at nearly four times the rate of students with similar demographics who do not attend Breakthrough.

The 25 th anniversary provides an opportunity not only to celebrate past accomplishments but also to contemplate the future. Founded as Summerbridge in 1991, the program currently operates essentially at the same scale as it did then, serving roughly the same number of Manchester middle school students each year on The Derryfield School campus.

Looking forward, Breakthrough’s challenges include expanding the number of public middle school students served each year, increasing financial support from the broader community, and developing a stronger network of external partnerships. Several local colleges, universities, and high schools have expressed interest in partnering with Breakthrough to host the program or open sites to serve more students, specifically in the Manchester and Nashua areas. As we contemplate these challenges and opportunities, a subcommittee of the Derryfield Board of Trustees will begin to examine the historical relationship between the School and Breakthrough while also considering its future. It is an exciting time to be at Breakthrough, and I am grateful for Derryfield’s past vision and current support and for the increasing statewide interest in Breakthrough’s inspirational and successful dual mission.

Becky Berk, Executive Director, Breakthrough Manchester

ALL YOUNG PEOPLE, REGARDLESS OF CIRCUMSTANCE, CAN ACHIEVE THEIR FULL POTENTIAL AS STUDENTS, TEACHERS, AND LEADERS. MISSION:

The dual mission of Breakthrough Manchester is to launch promising Manchester middle school students, particularly those with limited opportunities, on the path to college while inspiring high school and college students to pursue careers in education.

it should be. The Trustees focus on the strategic vision, but they really had no impact on my day-to-day life here. One thing I will say; obviously they did a good job, because we’re still here!

ALICE In your first Board term (1993–2011), what were some of the more exciting initiatives the Board undertook?

BRAD In that time, we built the Middle School, the Turf Field, the Gateway Building, and the Benson Building. They all contributed to school life differently, but when we put the Turf Field up, Derryfield became one of those schools that everyone started talking about. You drive by, and it has the logo in the middle, the maroon around the outside, and the way it’s positioned below the road—it really makes a statement. I don’t know that it was intentional, but it immediately became a talking point; everywhere I went, everyone wanted to talk about the Turf Field.

erryfield is excited to welcome Brad Benson ’78 as the new Chair of our Board of Trustees. While he’s the 18 th Board Chair, he’s actually the first Derryfield alumnus to hold the position.

The president of Benson’s Lumber Company in Derry and Londonderry, Brad is a Derryfield parent as well, with two sons, Andrew ’15 and Chris ’17. We were curious about the changes he’s seen at Derryfield since he was a student, and how his different perspectives, as alumnus, parent, and Trustee, will shape his tenure. Here’s what Alice Handwerk, Director of Alumni Development, found out.

ALICE When you were a student, how much did you know about the Board of Trustees?

BRAD Honestly, I didn’t know a thing about the Board. To me the School was about the Head of School, Ralph Scozzafava.

The School now is about Dr. Carter, and that really is the way

BRAD Well, most obviously, I’d like us to be successful in our first major capital campaign in twenty years. I’d like to see a better community—one of the things that Derryfield struggles with (this is my personal experience now, as a parent) is that we pull from a very big geographic area, and because of the world today, with technology and the way children live, there’s not as much community in all cases as I think there should be. I’m hoping that what we’re building will be a campus that works for more of our school population—students, faculty and alums. That’s ultimately the goal—to make the School stronger to build the sense of community.

ALICE What advice would you give to other Derryfield alumni about getting involved in the School?

BRAD Reach out, get involved. Try one thing. It can be little things, it can be regional events. But it’s nice to engage again; it’s nice to talk to your old friends, and to people you didn’t really know—everyone’s changed so much.

You’ll feel really good about it—it’s a great place to allocate some time.

ALICE Any words of wisdom that you shared with Andrew ’15 on his graduation day when he became an alumnus?

BRAD Linda and I talk to the boys about this all the time. We say, you need to make a difference in the world you live in, you need to contribute.

Each individual can make his/her mark. For some it means writing a big check, for others it involves cleaning up trash on the side of the highway. The importance is not the grandeur of the act, but rather the intent of contributing to the greater community. I want to make a difference, I want to be involved, I want to see the results. I am grateful to Derryfield for helping instill these values in me at a young age.

DERRYFIELD’S PARENT FACULTY ASSOCIATION

T

he Parent Faculty Association volunteers help to build a vibrant community of students, parents, and faculty at Derryfield. From the annual Back- to-School Picnic in September through the Spring Gala in May, many volunteers give countless hours to bring our community together. Baking treats for the Country Fair, helping students check books out of the Milne Library, organizing or hosting events, and helping our fabulous

theater productions come to life are just a few of the ways our PFA volunteers enrich our community. We would like to thank each and every volunteer who gave time to Derryfield during the 2014-2015 school year. Whether you gave a minute or an hour, your contributions are invaluable. A special thank you goes out to those members of the PFA listed to the right.

We sincerely appreciate all that you do!

Lori Evans Alderin ’00 After graduating from Derryfield in 2000, Lori went on to Trinity College, graduating in 2004 with a B.A. in Anthropology. Since then, she has worked extensively with various non-profits in the New York/New England area, including time as Derryfield’s Director of Annual Giving. She recently transitioned to the for-profit world, and is now an agent with Third Generation Real Estate and Development in Londonderry.

In the interest of maintaining her connection with the non-profit world, she’s taken a role on Derryfield’s Board. She’s looking forward to putting her past fundraising experience to work on Derryfield’s behalf and helping out with the School’s upcoming capital campaign.

Sally Green Sally is a veteran Derryfield parent, with two of her three children having attended, Mitch ’13 and Cat ’15. She is also a veteran supporter, having been a team parent to many of her children’s teams both at and outside Derryfield, and helping out with Admission Open Houses and Accepted Student days. Although she has a degree in Accounting, and works currently in the finance industry at Chase Paymentech, she’s most excited, she says, about putting her people skills to work on Derryfield’s behalf.

In starting this new chapter with Derryfield, she plans to work on the “Belonging” goal of the Strategic Plan. “When we came to Derryfield four years ago,” she says, “we were welcomed so warmly and completely—I want to be part of the group that makes sure that everyone feels that way at Derryfield.”

Lou Imbriano The father of Antonio ’19 and Victoria ’17, Lou is the Managing Partner of the Imbriano Group, and President and CEO of TrinityOne, which provide marketing and management consulting services to professional sports organizations and other for-profit and non-profit enterprises.

He’s looking forward to using his marketing and business development skills in his role as Trustee, and is very excited about the potential he sees in the proposed new facilities.

“Derryfield is an amazing place,” he says, “one of the most welcoming private schools” he’s ever encountered. “Students don’t feel any apprehension about engaging” in life at the School. That’s an important message, he feels, and one he is happy to help Derryfield share.

Philip Taub Phil is a corporate transactional partner at the law firm of Nixon Peabody in Manchester and Boston, where he’s practiced for twenty years and currently leads their national Private Equity practice. He is also the father of Ben ’15 and Dani ’20, and husband of past PFA president Julie, so Derryfield involvement runs in the family. Phil serves or has served on the boards of many youth-related nonprofits, including the Granite State Children’s Alliance, the Greater Manchester YMCA, and Junior Achievement. He is looking forward to contributing to the continued success of Derryfield and its students. “Our family has had a great experience so far at Derryfield.

We are grateful for the hard work of so many faculty, staff, and volunteers. This is a special place for our children to learn and grow.”

ALLARD ’83 RECEIVES HONORARY DIPLOMA

A

nne Allard’s dream was realized ... 32 years later.

Let us explain. Her son, John Allard, long-time Derryfield friend and trustee, chose to finish his high school career at Trinity High School to play football. He has been, however, one of Derryfield’s most steadfast alumni.

John Allard ’83 and his mom, Anne, celebrate his honorary diploma at Sophia ’15’s graduation celebration.

A BIG THANK YOU TO OUR DEPARTING BOARD MEMBERS

B

esides welcoming our new Board members, we’d also like to thank the members whose terms ended this year. Past Board Chair Paul J. Leyden expressed his appreciation of each of them, as he reflected on their service.

Pam Grich came on the board with a strong understanding of the School, having watched her two daughters, Allison ’08 and Kaitlin ’11, prosper and succeed at Derryfield. She served both as Vice Chair and Secretary for the Board, and her advice was thoughtful and direct.

Preston Hunter ’98 served on, then led, the Building and Grounds committee. He worked closely with Gary Harper to help plan several on-campus projects, including the roof replacement on the auditorium, the new entrance, the ravine boardwalk, and many other projects. Preston was always thoroughly prepared for board meetings and his presentations were organized and articulate. His Derryfield teachers would be proud to see him in action.

Anne Greer has a way of finding solutions and articulating paths to achieve them.

She was extraordinarily helpful on the Governance committee, allowing us to take advantage of her scholarly legal mind.

Anne helped professionalize the Head of School evaluation process; her work will serve the Board for years to come.

Audrey Hammer understood the core values of the School and helped steer the Board toward those values. It was always clear by Audrey’s words and actions her biggest concerns were the students and the faculty, and she was an advocate for both.

John Allard ’83 was the Dean of the Board.

With the longest tenure, he’d seen the most phases the School had gone through, and he was generous with his time and wisdom. He helped every Chair think through complex issues and helped the board focus its energy on important issues of the moment, and his business acumen guided many of the decisions we made over the last decade.

The Allard family has a strong humanitarian and philanthropic presence in the Manchester and the Derryfield communities.

John followed his parents’ footsteps to the Board of Trustees, and is finishing his eighteenth and final year on the Board—the third longest term in the School’s history following founder Barbara Stahl and incoming chair, Brad Benson.

In John’s words, an important part of his role has been maintaining Derryfield’s traditions.

John and his wife, Karen, have opened their home and hearts to Derryfield in numerous ways, from hosting admission coffees to volunteering at Country Fair to serving on the search committee for Head of School.

Last year, John was presented with the alumni service award by his daughter Sophia ’15. In her remarks, Sophia noted that, “It is crystal clear The Derryfield School holds a very special place in his heart.”

DERRYFIELD CELEBRATES 48TH COMMENCEMENT

T

hunderstorms were originally forecasted for June 13, but as the class of 2015 gathered the skies were a brilliant blue and a light breeze carried the sounds of laughter and joy through the air.

Graduates were welcomed by Head of School Dr. Mary Halpin Carter and commended for their intellect, talent, athletic prowess, and—most importantly—their kindness. She challenged the Class of 2015 to, “take your gifts of scholarship and intelligence, of

20

D E R RY F I E L D T O DAY 2 0 1 5

humor and amiability, of sensitivity and compassion and be dynamic members of the community.”

James Speigel, drama and English teacher, gave the Faculty Address.

True to character, Mr. Speigel’s delivery was comical, heartfelt, and inspiring. He encouraged the class of 2015 to relish in their successes, as well as embrace their failures until they found their passion. He delighted the students with his candid reflections of his own less-thanstellar moments before finding drama in 1973 while cast in You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown. Mr. Speigel ended with, “you’ve been rehearsing for this moment your whole life and I’m very proud to tell you that you all got the part.

You’ve made it, no pun intended, to the most important stage of your life. As you begin to discover your life beyond Derryfield, don’t ever forget this moment.

Especially since the curtain to your amazing journey is wide open.”

Stephanie Tonneson ’15 performed her original song, “Home,” written for her classmates as part of her Independent Senior Project, and arranged by Katelyn Mullikin ’15.

Francesa Barradale ’15 delivered the Commencement Address. She challenged her classmates to stay present, in the moment, and to avoid succumbing to the monotony that adulthood often brings.

When the “world is in your way,” remember to “take off the visor of adulthood, so that you may feel yourself melding into the mosaic of life, as you open your eyes and recognize your own vitality.”

The Class of 2015 gift was presented by Elisha Shah ’15, class vice president. In response to the recent devastation in Nepal, the class chose to donate the funds in the their treasury to the Nepal Children’s Health and Education Foundation, founded by retired faculty member, Candy Chaplin.

Dr. Carter followed with a presentation of an honorary

degree to Trustee John Allard ’83 and thanked him for his eighteen years of service and commitment to Derryfield. It was a special day for the Allard family, as John’s daughter, Sophia, is a member of the class of 2015.

Patrick Finocchiaro ’15 delivered the Farewell Address. Patrick, a Derryfield “lifer,” reflected on the quick passage of time and his gratitude for all those who have influenced his growth, “In tandem with my parents, the Derryfield faculty have taught me to apply ambition, passion, charisma, and articulation to all facets of my life.” He praised his peers for their amazing talent, frankness, and compassion and challenged each to come home to Derryfield often. “Mark your calendars for May 2020—our fifth reunion.”

Derryfield wishes each member of the Class of 2015 success and happiness for the journey that lies ahead.

Tufts University

“From the beginning, Mr. Berk was there to answer any question I had, and it was he who I looked to when I did not know what to do. Mrs. Josephson and Mr. Cousineau were more than willing to write my college recommendations, and I think that stems from the caring relationship between teacher and student that Derryfield fosters. My advisor, Mrs. Melkonian, was always so cheerful, and her presence alone alleviated much of the college stress. Through their guidance, support, and love, they not only helped me attend a college, but changed my and my family’s lives for the better.”

Franky Barradale Bedford, NH

Williams College “Mr. Barnard taught me to ‘go deep,’ committing myself to my activities at Derryfield—and pursuing my interests in summer programs. For three solid years he gave me important insight on the college process, and his advice was critical in helping me take advantage of the opportunities I had at Derryfield.”

Jimmy O’Brien Amherst, NH

Colby College “I chose Colby because I wanted a liberal arts school where I could hone in on what it is I want to learn about and major in. Next, I knew I wanted an extremely challenging one because I want to push myself hard. Finally, Maine has always been one of my favorite states. I camp there every year and it’s beautiful.

They also have excellent math, science, and economic programs.”

Patrick McGinley Bedford, NH

Lafayette College “I ultimately chose Lafayette College because it felt like the best fit for me once all factors were considered. I was seeking a school with a strong liberal arts curriculum and Lafayette certainly fit that criteria. The academics combined with a strong sense of community and an opportunity to play Division I golf were what eventually set Lafayette apart from the other schools on my list. Derryfield has prepared me well for college by challenging me to get involved in every opportunity and reach outside my comfort zone. Knowing this made the college process stress-free because I am prepared to succeed.”

here in the world could you spot Derryfield students last year? Ninety five students participated in our global programs and exchanges during the 2014–2015 school year. Middle school students were seen

visiting the cultural and historic highlights of New York City and teaching English to elementary school children in a rural village in the Dominican Republic.

In March, upper school students participated in the School’s tenth Habitat for Humanity program in North Carolina. Sixteen adventurous travelers trekked in Nepal, accompanied by two Derryfield physician parents who set up medical clinics in two rural villlages. Another group spent a week in Romania at an orphanage, also visiting local Gypsy/Roma villages, providing supplies, and teaching in the schools. In June, a group ventured out West, rafting, camping, and participating in a service project on a Navajo reservation.

GLOBAL SERVICE AND CITIZENSHIP

my global journey

BY CHARLOTTE EVANS ’08

I

sat in my chair, with Christopher McNeil, Upper School Dean of Student Life, at the front of the classroom telling us it was time to learn Latin verb conjugations. To my surprise, he started to sing the tune of the Mickey Mouse song, but with different letters.

“O-S-T-MUS-TIS-NT,” we chanted over and over. This lesson plan made me giddy because a teacher had permitted, nay encouraged, me to sing, all in the pursuit of language learning.

Fourteen years later, and I can still remember how those verb endings go as clear as day.

By high school, I realized that language learning served as a metaphorical entry visa into societies that otherwise might not open their doors with simply an American passport in hand. After six years of Spanish lessons at Derryfield, I ended up in Madrid teaching Business English to KPMG executives for my gap year. Having a modest utility of the language allowed me to handle issues of high diplomacy, such as befriending the lady who sold me chocolate con churros and bargaining with the T-shirt seller at the market. I was hooked.

Fast forward a few years, and I’m on a plane once more, about to embark on another journey, this time to China. I’d just wrapped up my NYU degree in Broadcast Journalism 26

D E R RY F I E L D T O DAY 2 0 1 5

and Chinese (a slightly odd pairing, I know), and had landed a fellowship with NYU Shanghai. NYU was in the process of creating a global network of universities with degreegranting hubs in New York, Abu Dhabi, and Shanghai, and I was there to start work a month before the Shanghai location opened its doors to the inaugural class of students.

If you were to read my resume, you would see that I provided academic support to students in writing, conducted research, and created and managed a program that took our students across Asia doing service.

What is missing from that page is all the other “stuff” that comes with moving to China.

Anyone who has lived abroad can tell you that it is a rollercoaster ride of emotions. It’s natural to feel the most profound love and deepest hatred for a place, and a lifestyle, within a span of twenty minutes. There were moments—like the time I was careening on a motorcycle through the mountainous, jungle roads of a deserted island off the coast of Bali on my way to an empty beach, off which rested coral reefs that could have been used as models for the Finding Nemo movie—where it was pure bliss. There were other moments— such as the time I embraced the Pepto Bismol

bottle like it was my dearest friend, after I endured an evening of what the Chinese call “spicy stomach”—where I would have been content to never eat another dumpling again.

Life in China was full of hiccups. There were the nights spent in airports after missed flights, the time my friends volunteered me to fight a Mongolian wrestler in a yurt village in the grasslands of Xilamuren, and tales of the moments I accidentally, and unknowingly, blurted out phrases in Mandarin that are far too inappropriate to be re-uttered in the pages of a Derryfield Today publication. But along with these hiccups were some amazing experiences—traveling to 23 countries, having a tremendous network of global friends, and eating most of my lunches for under two bucks being at the top of the list.

At work, I was constantly questioning my own assumptions. One afternoon on a service trip in Cambodia, I was sitting at a table with students from Pakistan, Thailand, China, Poland, and the U.S., and the conversation drifted to the impact the Khmer Rouge had on the community we were serving. While some students were profoundly upset by the poverty they had seen as it was their first encounter with this sort of issue (a comment I had anticipated),

others said they felt oddly at home as it reminded them of where they had come from (a perspective that knocked me off guard).

Each day was different, and unexpected, and unique, and I was thirsty for more.

THINKING GLOBAL: DERRYFIELD SPONSORS INAUGURAL CONFERENCE

W

ith a view to sparking high school students’ interest and familiarity with current foreign affairs, Derryfield was a sponsor and a major participant in the World Affairs Council of New Hampshire’s (WACNH) inaugural “Think Global” conference last winter.

As the fellowship came to a close, I had time to reflect on my experiences so far. When I tracked back most of my thoughts to where they began, I could pinpoint moments from my time at Derryfield. Whether it was Mr. McNeil’s Latin class that sparked my love of languages or the junior year Habitat for Humanity trip that prompted my passion for servicelearning, Derryfield shaped who I am today.

One of the challenges of international living is the amplified uncertainty surrounding the question of “What comes next?” At the time of writing, my answer to that question is, “Still working on it.” It is a bizarre feeling to not know which latitude and longitude I will call home in six months’ time, but in a way, that’s all part of the adventure.

In all seriousness, I hope that those reading this will see international living as a completely attainable option for themselves as well. If you had told “nerd supreme Charlotte” as a ninth grader that she would have lived in China for two years by 2015, she would have laughed in your face and strutted away in her Mathlete sweatpants. But here I am,

telling the tale. So Derryfield Family - I hope that one day we can meet up for coffee somewhere around the world to reminisce about the good old days at Derryfield and plot out the next grand adventure together.

Update By the time you read this...I’ll have moved to Singapore to work for Yale NUS! I will be there as a Program Manager for the Centre for International & Professional Experience, working specifically under the Leadership & Global Citizenship pillar. I hope to see some of you in my new home once I’ve settled in!

The daylong event was divided into morning and afternoon sessions. The morning featured a keynote address and various panel discussions. Derryfield was represented by two alumni, Evelyn Brensinger Aissa ’99 and Aseeb Niazi ’11, who were part of a panel called “Use Your Passport,” encouraging attendees to explore the world.

Things got competitive in the afternoon with the Academic WorldQuest. The contest, in which teams of high school students answer questions on various global topics, is held each year by World Affairs Councils nationwide.

Two teams of Derryfield students competed, history teacher Bruce Berk was the quizmaster, former teacher Kathy Muirhead and alumni parent and former trustee Charlie Bickford (Andrew ’88, Shayne ’91, and Ann ’95) were both judges, and alumni parent Carolyn Richmond (Davis ’86 and Cynthia ’89) was the timekeeper.

Emcee extraordinaire Bruce Berk said it was a fun conference, and having Derryfield sponsor it “felt like a really natural connection because of the international cultural awareness” that Derryfield has always stressed.

He also saw a win because, “it got a roomful of kids together to compete on current events of global importance.”

50 years

B

y now, the story is well known: in 1964, a group of 39 visionary Manchester families each contributed $1,000 toward the establishment of a new independent day school. We know now, of course, what they couldn’t possibly have known then: fifty years later, their leap of faith has borne fruit, perhaps even beyond their imaginings. Derryfield has grown in size and stature, yet has managed to retain the focus on a personalized education for every student, with family playing a crucial role in the life of the School.

The School celebrated this Golden Anniversary year joyfully and creatively, all year long. This year’s Head’s Holiday was held on the 50th day of school. Assemblies featured alumni speakers. The community was encouraged to perform fifty distinct acts of kindness before the end of the year.

A book “The Derryfield School: 50 Years of Passion and Purpose” was published and distributed to the entire school community with thoughtful words from former heads and some of our favorite faculty members.

If you weren’t able to join the celebration, the following pages will give you a taste of the journey we experienced, both in this, the fiftieth year, and for the past fifty.

50 years DERRYFIELD’S 50TH CELEBRATION IS ONE FOR THE AGES

A

fter a year of anticipation, the first weekend in May saw the formal celebration of Derryfield’s 50th birthday, and it was a joyous occasion.

Anniversary co-chairs Ellie Goodwin Cochran ’69 and Jennifer Melkonian worked hard all year long, and their efforts truly paid off.

Francesca Barradale ’15, this year’s Peter S. Freedman Founders’ Scholar gave a moving and graceful speech about how her own story came to be written as she took her personal journey through Derryfield, and then presented the award to next year’s Scholar, Elizabeth Krogman ’16.

After that, there were alumni gatherings both on and off campus. The main reception was held in the Gateway Building, which was attended by over 100 alumni. Altogether, alumni were present from 45 of the 47 graduating classes. (One being the class of 2011 who were graduating college!)

The weekend began in style and ceremony with the annual celebration of Founders’ Day on Friday, May 1. Eight of our Founders were represented, either in person or by a family member. To honor the 50th, six former Heads of School attended as well; Craig Sellers, Nancy Boettiger Stearns, Marcus Hurlbut, and William Pfeifer, as well as interim heads Chuck Sanborn and Jennifer Melkonian, were all present to celebrate. Each former Head addressed the assembly, speaking, sometimes emotionally, about what made the School such a special place for them.

A second day of celebration followed on Saturday, with athletic contests, music, and parties. Even Mother Nature seemed to be in a festive mood, as the weather, after a long, snowy winter, reflected all the beauty of a New Hampshire spring.

Finally, on Saturday evening, came the culminating event we’d been waiting for all year long—the 50th Anniversary Gala. The school put on its festive best for the 550 attendees, with beribboned paper lanterns and streamers in the colors of spring hanging all over the campus, indoors and out, and the gym completely transformed to evoke the New Hampshire woodlands that surround us. Attendees ate, drank, and danced, spoke with current and former faculty, toured the alumni art exhibit in the Lyceum Gallery, and reconnected with old and dear friends.

Reunion festivities began in the afternoon, when Director of Choral Music Kristen Acker organized a “Reunion Sing,” at which alumni performed some classic pieces from their time at Derryfield and got a taste of what our current talented students are singing.

Every member of the community was challenged— as a member of an advisory, an athletic team, a club, or individually—to perform some act of kindness. In the end, virtually every person on campus participated at least once.

annual report LETTER FROM ADVANCEMENT COMMITTEE CHAIR SHANNON MCGINLEY

THE DERRYFIELD SCHOOL OPERATING BUDGET FUNDING (2015-2016 Projected Budget)

Dear Friends and Supporters of The Derryfield School, It is my distinct pleasure to share the philanthropic successes of the 2014-2015 school year on behalf of the Advancement Committee and the Board of Trustees. Our amazing community of Trustees, Parents, Alumni, Founders, Parents of Alumni, Grandparents, and Friends rallied together to celebrate the School’s fiftieth anniversary with a record-breaking year of generous support. Annual Fund dollars and participation rates reflect the tremendous efforts of our volunteers and the capable support of the Advancement staff.

78.6%

The Annual Fund is the driving force behind crucial initiatives at The Derryfield School. Annual Fund dollars allow the School to provide students with access to financial aid, to attract and retain talented faculty, and to provide teachers and students with the tools they need to create the best possible Derryfield experience. This year, the Annual Fund totaled an impressive $642,759, falling just shy of the Board’s proposed $650,000 goal.

Annual Fund participation was especially strong from all constituencies.

Incredibly, 93% of current parents supported the School! The National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS) reports that the average current parent Annual Fund participation rate at independent day schools for the 2014–2015 school year was 71%. That statistic in particular makes me proud to report the commitment Derryfield families demonstrated this year. Alumni participation was equally impressive, increasing from 13% to 20%. This significant increase is due in part to a very funny alum who put forth a generous giving challenge in June and raised the bar for alumni support. I am also pleased to report that there are now 51 members of the 1964 Legacy Society. Members of the 1964 Legacy Society have made The Derryfield School part of their estate plans.

I am honored to be the Advancement Committee Chair of this amazing School with a strong philanthropic foundation. Moving forward, The Derryfield School will continue to rely on all donors to support the School as generously as possible, through the Annual Fund, and also through capital initiatives that will help us improve our facilities, strengthen our financial foundation, and help us achieve our long term goals.

Next year’s Annual Fund goal is equally ambitious, as determined by the Board. The dollars raised year after year through the Annual Fund directly impact current students and make the Derryfield experience extraordinary.

Thank you again for your important support of Derryfield.

Shannon McGinley, Trustee, Mom of Patrick ’15, Corey ’17, and Brady ’20 Advancement Committee Chair for the Board of Trustees 38

Ellie Goodwin Cochran ’69 with her family, son Andrew ’01, husband David, daughter Sarah, and daughter-in-law, Kristen Geiger Cochran ’02.

1969

Nancy Ekman Dorner and her husband, Bruce, welcomed their first grandchild in February.

▪ Ellie Goodwin Cochran was honored as the Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce’s 2014 Citizen of the Year.

1970

Bennett Freeman reports, “On May 2, the Class of ’70 celebrated our 45 th post-Derryfield year, starting with the alumni cocktail party at Derryfield, and transitioning to dinner, Chez Bennett. A number of us toured the School, and were amazed by and impressed with the changes. John Hanlon came in from Florida, taking a break from his work on the upcoming Neil Young release. Mike Theo has “retired” to Florida, while others, like Scott Freedman, are loving work and have no particular desire to stop. Champ Allard holds the middle ground —he accepts work when he wants to. Adair O’Reilly reports that she and Jim continue to work to get their hydroelectric generators up and running. Bette Podles Keegan did not attend, because she and Gary ’69 were away celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary.

Those in attendance agreed that five years is too long to wait, so we will try to get together in 2017, when (most of) the Class of ’70 turns 65.”

1971

Dr. Peter Kfoury continues his successful practice as a holistic primary care chiropractic internist and will also release a CD this year of music on the oud (Middle Eastern lute).

1974

David Smith reports, “I retired from Lebanon High School in June. Thirty years of working in various New Hampshire public schools seemed enough. Heidi told me I had to stay busy so I signed up for three classes at the Community College of Vermont. I’m also continuing to serve as the treasurer for the New Hampshire Association of School Psychologists.”

1975

Bill Skladony threw a Derryfield party last fall. There was a sprinkling of classes from the 1970s!

Left to Right are: Floor: Robin (Potter) Nickerson ’78, Suzie Devine ’75, Jeannie Devine ’76, Gina Chaplain ’76, Craig Potter ’75, Gay Shanahan ’76. Standing: Jim Hendrix ’77 leaning on Jim Shanahan’s ’74 chair, Jonathan Cohen ’75, Bess Carey ’76, Gayle McGinnis ’76, Buddy Pope ’77, Maria Holland Law ’75, Jeff VanderWolk ’74, Mark Fleisher ’75, Bill Skladony ’75, and Damian Turner ’75.

1981

Scott Jensen still lives in Austin, TX with his wife, Cyndie Jensen, and their two boys, Aksel and Marshall Jensen, (ages 3 years and 8 weeks as of June 1st). He is hard at work now building an organic veggie and fruit snack company called Rhythm Superfoods and still an active owner/board member of Stubb’s Bar-B-Q companies. All fun businesses to be involved in and he can’t wait to start another!

1984

Edward Haletky moved back to Austin, TX with his wife of ten years, where he continues to run his two businesses: AstroArch Consulting, Inc. and The Virtualization Practice, LLC. Edward is currently working on books, ideas, and products within the Virtualization & Cloud space. ▪ Stephanie Solms McCusker reports, “We are still at Cardigan Mountain School, where Dave is head of school and I do a little bit of a variety of things (communications, admissions, etc.)—and we will be here for one more year (2015–16) in these roles. Our older son, Colin, is in his last year at St. Michael’s College (VT) and younger son, Cam, has begun his sophomore year at Wesleyan University (CT).” ▪ Anu Mathur Mullikin’s daughter, Katelyn ’15, graduated from Derryfield in June and will be attending Tufts. ▪ Patrick Rutty has been laying the groundwork for an oil and gas exploration company start-up since January.

His sons are currently earning more money at minimum wage grocery and thrift store jobs than he is—but he is having way more fun! If all goes well, the new company, Alcova Resources, will be up and running by early August and will embark upon drilling and production programs in northeast Wyoming. Yes: he will be fracking.

No: it won’t ruin anybody’s water supply!

at AAHOA (the Asian American Hotel Owners Association), a wonderful non-profit hospitality association with which I have been involved for many years. I am really excited for a complete change in career. I am also navigating the dangerous waters of having a daughter entering high school and one entering fifth grade.

Nye Hornor reports, “Last fall John Van Hooser was visiting Derryfield and Alice Handwerk, Director of Alumni Development, contacted me to have lunch with John. I was surprised to have lunch with Mr. Holland, Mr. Sanborn, Head of School Mary Halpin Carter, John, and Alice. It was a great lunch, catching up on John’s adventures, family, and work over the past 30 years. We rehashed stories from our Derryfield days and talked about all the changes that have happened at Derryfield.

Then at our 30th year class reunion in May, I got to see Patrick Timmins. We talked about our old Spanish teacher Sr. Gomez, fun stories of our younger days at Derryfield and were able to catch up with each other. I was glad to not be the only representative from the class of 1985. I did see a lot of other friends from reunion years 25 and 35. My wife, Angela Calvetti Hornor ’92 joined me for the Derryfield 50th Gala. It was a great night seeing old headmasters, Mr.

Pfeifer and Mr. Hurlbut, and many of our old teachers. The School was amazingly decorated to celebrate the 50th and the food and friends made it a great night. Funny how it has gone by so quickly.

A highlight from the past year is visiting Mr. Sanborn and his wife with my daughters, and of course getting into a great history discussion. I’ve always wanted to learn to play guitar, and was happy to have my daughter Rachel teach me some chords this past year.” ▪ Alexandra Terninko reports, “My latest and greatest is that I changed positions to work close to home in Richmond, CA. While coworkers tell me I shouldn’t expect to feel comfortable and confident for another five years, the feeling of ignorance and uncertainty is totally worth it.

I now have a 15-minute commute and get to experience life outside of work during the week as well as on weekends. Start early. Home at 4:00. (Hee, hee). I see my family. Take walks.

IN MEMORIAM

Peter D. Carlson ’83 of Hopkinton, died February 11, 2015, after suffering a brief illness.

An educator in Manchester and Goffstown for over 15 years, he was a devoted teacher who enjoyed working with adolescents 1983 Yearbook and teens throughout his career. After graduating from Derryfield in 1983, he went on to earn both his bachelor’s degree (in 1988) as well as his master’s in education (in 2011) from Plymouth State University.

Terry B. Goodman ’68 died peacefully on November 20, 2014. A member of Derryfield’s very first graduating class in 1968, he went on to graduate Phi Beta Kappa from the University of New Hampshire in 1972. After a 1968 Yearbook two-year hiatus in Ohio where he worked as a musician and also met his future wife, Elda Cordero, Terry returned to New England and earned his Doctorate of Optometry in 1978 from the New England College of Optometry in Boston.

Peter’s greatest joys were capturing his son’s athletic accomplishments on film and cheering from the water’s edge, watching the sunset with Amy in Bermuda, skiing with his father at Big Sky, and talking to friends new and old. His easy laugh and ability to sit quietly and listen were his greatest gifts. Everyone who knew him will miss his compassionate and caring nature as well as his capable, can-do attitude.

Terry returned to New Hampshire and had his own practice in Milford for thirteen years, after which he was a founder of the Bellows, Goodman, Shaker, Siegal Medical Eye Center in Manchester. In the community, Terry was a long-time member of the Milford Lions Club, holding many offices including District Governor and Council Chair, and was a speaker for Lions Club International.

Peter leaves behind his devoted life companion, Amy Moskwa; a son, Christopher Carlson, of Bedford; step-daughters, Zo Moskwa, of Goffstown and Sayre Moskwa of Boston; parents, Dave and Roz Carlson, of Bridgewater; two sisters, Amy Carlson of Amherst, MA and Jenny Mullins of Hopkinton; along with their spouses and children and many dear cousins, uncles, aunts, friends, and colleagues.

One of Terry’s passions was haunted houses.

For 27 years, he created and ran haunted houses for the Lions Club, including their statewide houses. Over the years, his “haunts” raised over $150,000 for the NH Lions Sight & Hearing Foundation. He was the “Grand Poobah” of charity haunting in New Hampshire, and he will be deeply missed by generations of haunters and patrons alike.

We at Derryfield gratefully acknowledge the anonymous donor who established a fund in Peter’s memory. The fund will be used to cover four years of tuition for one Derryfield student from the Manchester school district.

Terry is survived by his loving wife of over 41 years, Elda “Hilda” Cordero-Goodman; his daughter, Aleeza; a brother, Malcolm Goodman and his wife, Paula; a niece, Rachel Goodman, and her husband, Robert Duffey; and a grandnephew, Max Duffey.

Blake’s friends and teachers at Derryfield remember him as an outgoing, down-to-earth person, with a wonderful sense of humor.

A gifted athlete, his passion was baseball, and he played for four years on Derryfield’s varsity team. Coach Jeff Hastings remembers him as a “friendly, engaging person” who was also “focused and extremely competitive.”

He was a three-time NHIAA All Star, the 2001 Division IV Player of the Year, and won the Class of 1970 award for athletic leadership and excellence in both baseball and skiing.

Blake also had a strong sense of ethics and a commitment to the community, both locally and globally. He was a member of Derryfield’s Key Club, helped to organize the School’s annual Thanksgiving basket distribution to families in need, and was an active volunteer for Special Olympics. Outside of school, he testified against the death penalty at a New Hampshire Legislative Committee meeting, and went to Washington, DC, for Jubilee 2000, calling for the cancellation of third-world debt.

After graduating from Stonehill College in Easton, MA, in 2007, Blake joined the Navy and completed his SEAL training in 2009. He leaves his parents, Nancy and Bill, and his sister, Emily ’05.

LIFE AFTER DERRYFIELD

catching up with Anthony Popeo ’08 became what was really my second major (formally a minor). I took 30 credits of art class where I would not have considered myself creative or an artist prior. I ended up majoring in economics, which was very analytical, very strategic, extremely theoretical, but then I had the much more practical design side to figure out how to put things together.

WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING SINCE YOU LEFT DERRYFIELD? When I first graduated, I was set on going to Bentley [College] for four years, and then going into finance, and that’ll be it, very cookie cutter, like one and done. In the course of being [there], I realized that ... Bentley was not the right fit.

This isn’t to say that Bentley wasn’t a good school, but it’s very much geared for doing one thing and doing [it] very well. So I transferred to Washington University, and my sophomore, junior and senior year I was in St. Louis, MO, which was a huge change of pace from growing up in New England. There was no one from Derryfield there at the time, so it was pretty incredible being in a different part of the country for the first time and not knowing anyone.

In a way, [Washington Univeristy] was a lot like being back at Derryfield in that I was surrounded by a bunch of people who were very passionate, incredibly bright, very caring, and supportive. Wash U is much more prepared to take a student and say “we’re going to give you the entire campus; see what you can make of it over the course of your time here.” Having that opportunity was fantastic—I took a graphic design class my sophomore year that then

[Summer jobs at Cantor Fitzgerald and Bloomberg in New York led to a job] with a management consulting company in San Francisco called SY Partners, doing a lot of high level leadership and change management work—a lot of it was how do you better manage interpersonal relationships in a company—and then I had 8 or 9 months of being on my own. I consciously made the choice not to be fully employed; I was very lucky where I had a job offer every month leading up to Google, just looking for a better fit really—I was very fortunate to be in a situation where I could do that.

At Google, I’m on the Operations and Business side, where I am the strategy and operations point-person for a team of experienced marketing and creative consultants. We help major brands deliver better and more engaging content across YouTube.

HOW DID YOUR DERRYFIELD EXPERIENCE HELP YOU WITH ALL OF THAT? One of the big ones is the willingness to prod people and ask questions. One of the biggest benefits of Derryfield is being able to sit in a class with no more than 14 or 15 people— to work in an environment like that where everyone can just sit in a circle and discuss definitely changes how you present yourself, but also how you listen to what’s going on around you. It was a certain skill that I couldn’t

have caught on to in a different environment because it forces you to learn how to talk on a whim, but also how to participate in a conversation, to have a debate about something. On a daily basis I’m more often than not sitting in a meeting having to be the bad guy that says no, just given the work I’m currently doing, and it’s interesting seeing how certain people converse. A lot of times I realize the way I’m listening and what I’m paying attention to is very much a function of having had discussions as a [teenager] in a Derryfield classroom where we had to be kind and respectful, basically come to the table with maturity about what you’re talking about.

I think another interesting parallel is that it made public speaking incredibly easy because we’re always in front of our peers and the entire community; it was very hard to ever feel nervous about getting up in front of a crowd.

WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE CURRENT STUDENTS? Students have such an incredible opportunity to test out the person they want to be in a safe, comfortable, and supportive environment. Being a teenager is tough; I completely remember how critical of myself I was, how much judgment I thought was there. At the end of the day, it really doesn’t matter—it’s all so formative and influential in what will happen in the years that follow, it would be crazy not to take advantage of the community that’s at your disposal to try things out and see what you like. It’s an incredible playground for a teenager to have.

REMEMBERING FOUNDERS

2015 saw the passing of two of Derryfield’s Founders. While we mourn their passing, we celebrate their lives and accomplishments.

Rhoda Rudnick, 86, passed away on March 24, 2015, after a period of failing health. She was born in Lawrence, MA, daughter of Joseph and Ada Cohen. Rhoda was a homemaker who graduated from the University of New Hampshire with a degree in social work, but her true vocation was painting, which she studied at the Manchester Institute of Art, the Boston Museum of Fine Art, and the deCordova Museum. She specialized in Impressionistic works, which conveyed power through bold lines and bright colors. Her winning paintings were featured in a number of individual and group shows, and included in the Samuel Gruber Foundation Collection. Rhoda believed strongly in education and public service. Besides being one of Derryfield’s Founders, she was one of the longest-standing members of the NH Art Association, and participated for many years in Hadassah, the Jewish Community Center, Temple Adath Yeshurun, and the Manchester Country Club. She honored family and friendship and is remembered for her many acts of

kindness, her sympathy, and generosity.

Rhoda is survived by her husband of 66 years, Ralph Rudnick; daughter, Susan Goodman ’69, and her husband, Carl Dawson; and son, Michael Rudnick; along with many nieces and nephews.

Howard Z. Hirshberg (aka Honey) of Melbourne, FL, previously of Rye and Manchester, NH died May 27, 2015. Born in Haverhill, MA on March 29, 1926 to Samuel and Bessie (Maistrosky) Hirshberg, he was the second of three children who was known for a quick wit, extraordinary memory, natural athletic abilities across a range of sports, charming his way out of trouble, and his love of music and of people. In order to join the Navy Air Corps at 17, he lied about his age and trained during World War II. Following the war, he went on the GI Bill to Dartmouth College, graduating in 1949 with a degree in mechanical engineering.

He joined his father’s shoe business, married Louise (Ginzberg) in 1952 and moved to Manchester to establish the family’s Pittsfield Shoe Corp in Pittsfield. Eventually, as company president he added a factory in Newmarket

and stitching room in Laconia. He had a long career in the shoe business working in the USA; Brazil; as an early “expert” living in China from 1980 to 1985, helping the country establish and set up their shoe industry; and in Hong Kong from 1985 to 1993.

He retired to Melbourne, FL with his beloved wife Mara, but continued to work regularly until months before his death, keeping him mobile, busy, and doing what he loved best: interacting with people. Howard will be remembered as a charming and caring guy with an engaging smile, who would stop at nothing to help others; a lover of fun; and a man with the most amazing capacity to think big and follow his dreams.

He is survived by his wife, Mara; son, Gary ’72, and his wife, Meg, of Concord; daughters, Susan ’74 and her husband, John Wall, of Washington, DC and Wolfeboro, and Nancy, also of Wolfeboro; five adored grandchildren, Alexander ’06, Ethan ’08, Danielle, Zea, and Emily; and former wives Louise Hirshberg and Anne Cullity. He was predeceased by his twin sons, James and William.

rwin Muskat and his late wife Margie have had a long affiliation with The Derryfield School. It began, as son Dan ’82 jokingly recalls, when his mom decided he and his sisters, Sue ’84 and Lisa ’85, should go because then they could walk to school and she wouldn’t have to drive them! Kidding aside, Dan’s glad that his mother did send them to Derryfield, so glad, in fact, that Derryfield is now host to a second generation of Muskat children, the daughters of Dan and his wife Lisa, Alex ’15 and Sam ’17.

As loyal attendees of Derryfield’s annual Grandparents’ Day, Irwin recalls, “Where I went to school, there was a lock on every locker, every locker was smashed in, and every locker had graffiti on it. I looked at the lockers [at Derryfield] and asked, “do they use these?!?”

It still amazes me that you don’t have locks on your lockers. I don’t think that’s typical.” Along with the delights of the day, Irwin is amazed and impressed at the work his granddaughters are doing. He recalls a time when he was able to help them with their school work several years ago, but both Dan and Irwin now agree that, for example, the level of math Alex and Sam study has surpassed both of their classroom memories.

The Muskats support Derryfield for one reason: “We give out of an appreciation for what the School has been able to do for both our children and grandchildren and in hopes that other kids will have the same opportunity,” says Irwin. “Our grandchildren are getting an unbelievable education and at the same time, and more importantly, the enthusiasm that the School generates in the grandkids; it was so totally opposite of what both of us, Margie and I, experienced when we went to school. All in all life has been very good to all of us,” Irwin reflects. “We have managed very nicely and Margie had a very nice life too. We have just been very blessed and very lucky.”

Derryfield has been blessed by the Muskats’ generosity and volunteerism. We missed Margie at Grandparents’ Day this fall, but her generous spirit lives on in her husband, children, and grandchildren, and we are proud that they continue to value and support the School.
