Scarsdale High School

class oF 2012 Graduates told to go forth to grow in wisdom and serve the common good

By Carrie Gilpin

u

nder a sunny sky in 90-degree humid heat last Friday morning at 10 a.m., the 363 graduates of the Scarsdale High School class of 2012 — sweating in their long robes but grinning under their mortarboards —celebrated a milestone in their lives.

The class received words of wisdom from administrators and faculty at the ceremony held on dean Field. as the class processed onto the field and into their seats, the SHS Symphonic Band played “Pomp and circumstance,” under the direction of conductor and teacher Jason noble, and the SHS Senior ensemble sang the national anthem, with teacher John cuk conducting.

Scarsdale Board of education president Jill Spieler told the class, “don’t be afraid of trying something because of a concern that you might not succeed. leave room for mistakes, because even those mistakes will lead you to new opportunities you might not have otherwise realized. and make sure to take time to enjoy where you are rather than always focusing on your next accomplishment. I know you have aspirations, but consider that these don’t only comprise the degrees you will attain, or the money you will ultimately make, but rather that the world will be a better place as a result of your leadership. You have nothing less than the world to consider. I know you are up to the task.” class co-treasurers Matthew Feigin and Steven nadel introduced class advisors lauren Meyer and eric rauschenbach, saying the two were like “a teddy bear and a teenage girl” who are “two extraordinary people who have guided us during the times when we were productive and the times when we couldn’t have cared less. They are genuine, loving, devoted and upbeat.”

Meyer said she taught previously at Wellesley High School in Massachusetts, where an english teacher she called “brilliant” gave a commencement address last week that went viral on the Internet. In it, the teacher told the class that they were “not special” and that they had been coddled and praised too often as children. In contrast, Meyer said, “We have seen as a class that you are special.

There is something deeper going on here, you are focusing on your minds and your souls, and when you do that the core of your unique self can shine through. Graduation advice is almost always lost on the graduates, and who can blame you, you are still tired from road rally! But the pearl of wisdom we have is to ‘ignore the noise.’ Figure out your own truth, and let your light speak. Know yourself and listen to yourself.” rauschenbach used the example of the cuban missile crisis during President John F. Kennedy’s presidency, a time when the united States came the closest to nuclear war. rauschenbach said at the height of the crisis, Kennedy went off to swim in the White House pool, not for exercise, but to “take a moment to reconnect with himself. after that, Kennedy came back to the negotiations and reached an agreement within a short period of time,” rauschenbach said. “So take a moment often to reconnect to yourself. listen to your own voice. What you need to succeed in life is already deep inside you. awaken what is inside. Your tenacity, your resilience, how you care for each other and how you take risks are what make you special.” each year at graduation, the class awards the Kenneth rosenberg scholarship to a member of

Class president Alex Altieri goes to the podium to present the Henry David Thoreau award to Olivia Harris in the gym before the ceremony. the class who typifies the kindness of rosenberg, an SHS student who died suddenly in 1984, his junior year. alec quintilano won the award for the class of 2012, for his “warmth, friendship, and for always being there for others,” said co-secretary Troy Kirwin, who presented the award. class vice president Benjamin newman thanked teachers who have worked tirelessly on behalf of students and their education. class president alexander altieri was introduced by co-secretary nina Wollberg. altieri said

for those of you snickering in the back rows), the world was — as it is today –seemingly balanced on the precipice. The Vietnam War was raging, and anti-war sentiment was intensifying. The civil rights movement was expanding as Martin luther King explored the impact of the war and working conditions. The sexual revolution and the women’s liberation movement tested the establishment and bedrock institutions. The assassinations of dr.

King and Bobby Kennedy further accentuated a decade of turmoil that included the murders of

“i ask you to recognize just how much you have to offer this world. go out and make it a better place.”

— co-principal Fred goldberg, to the scarsdale high school class of 2012 the class had grown together over the four years, not just physically, but emotionally, and that they had learned to succeed from their failures and had fought to survive the pressures of high school.

“Today is a good day. everything has led us to this day. We accepted the challenges this building presented. ninety-eight percent of us are going on to higher education, and those who are not have other careers and goals and are determined to reach them. We all tried to leave SHS a better place,” altieri said. co-principal Fred Goldberg, who along with co-principal Kelley Hamm is retiring after decades of service as an educator, addressed the class, saying, “When I began teaching in 1968 (that’s ad

President Kennedy and Malcolm X,” Goldberg said.

“On the other hand, despite what might be characterized as a period of great upheaval, this era of cultural overhaul marked a great period of hope, a belief that we could change the world — which we did. Young people committed themselves to securing equal rights for people regardless of racial background, ethnic heritage, sexual persuasion and gender. We voiced our concerns — both pro and con as hawks and doves — regarding the war that was now being broadcast into our living rooms. Men were burning their draft cards, women their bras. as Bob dylan wrote, ‘there was a battle outside ragin’’ that shook our windows and

rattled our doors. Indeed, the times, they were achangin,’” Goldberg said.

“Was our world simply a place of serious business? Of course not. after all, we were the Woodstock Generation, sometimes broadly characterized as interested in nothing else but sex, drugs and rock and roll. like you, we enjoyed our youth and sought excitement in a world of infinite possibilities. However, many of us also recognized that success meant more than good grades, the right college and landing the right job. In last year’s address to rutgers university graduates, nobel laureate Toni Morrison warned very directly that the pursuit of happiness is not enough. Instead, she said, ‘I want to suggest to you that personal success devoid of meaningfulness, free of a steady commitment to social justice, that’s more than a barren life, it is a trivial one. It’s looking good instead of doing good,’” Goldberg quoted. “and, so, as I bid this high school adieu and lovingly take my leave of a terrific faculty, supportive parents, and as fine a senior class as has ever been assembled, I ask you to recognize just how much you have to offer this world. Go out and make it a better place.” co-principals Hamm and Goldberg and superintendent Michael McGill then presented the graduates with their diplomas. McGill asked Goldberg and Hamm, “Will these candidates in 2012 have met the requirements for high school graduation imposed by the regents of the State university of new York, the commissioner of education, and the trustees of the Scarsdale Public Schools?”

The co-principals answered together, “They will.”

“Then I certify they are graduates of Scarsdale High School and bid them go forth to grow in wisdom and to serve the common good, non sibi,” said McGill.

Pomp and Circumstance meets the zombie apocalypse

By Debbie Anders

u

s is the tradition of any graduation, speakers at edgemont’s senior commencement dispensed valuable advice to the class of 2012. Much of it was tried and true; and some of it was just a little quirky. Students and faculty gave instructions to work hard, take risks, be creative and —according to Jonathan Hansonbrook, be prepared for a zombie apocalypse. Hansonbrook, a popular foreign language teacher, said the way to survive in a world of rigid, inflexible nonthinking automatons — zombies who want to “eat you up”— is to combat them with creative thinking. “So surround yourself with good people,” he said. “You need a community, so seek out interesting and smart people.” Hansonbrook urged seniors to work hard, and push themselves and assured them that if they used the tools they were given at edgemont, “we would thrive in the event of a zombie apocalypse.

So go rebuild,” he exclaimed. “Go do it, and get it done!”

The sweltering heat on June 21 did not suppress the soaring school spirit that filled the 141 seniors, their friends, family, teachers, and administrators.

Barry Friedman pointed out the cooling areas and comfort stations, restrooms and fire department assistance that were provided for the audience.

Music director John catoliato conducted the edgemont Band’s rendition of “Pomp and circumstance” and music director Kelley Morse directed the edgemont chamber choir singing the national anthem.

Senior Isaac Marshall welcomed everyone to the

ScarSdale InquIrer/JIM Maclean

Speaker Isaac Marshall graduation ceremony and praised his classmates for being like a family, noting their “shared memories.

The class of one-two really pulled through,” Marshall said.

In his last commencement speech at edgemont High School, outgoing principal dr. Barry Friedman reminded students they had not arrived alone, and that along with their hard work, they benefited from the efforts and love of others, “those who nurtured you, shaped you, mentored, consoled, and believed in you.” He asked the students to take the time to thank those “who gave of themselves for you.”

Friedman thanked outgoing edgemont Board

of education trustees Gerald Stoughton, and lisa Wexler, senior class advisor darren Hawks for leading the class of 2012 through “a year of fabulous experiences,” art nelson “for helping craft this meaningful ceremony,” and graduation facilitator and science teacher Steve rubenstein, whose electric orange converse high tops peered out from under a black graduation gown.

Friedman quoted albert einstein, who said, “There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.” Friedman told the graduates to “seek joy in what you do, be open to things, to uncertainty, to wonder. Be open to opinions.” and perhaps the most empowering words of all, “Success is defined by you, not by others.”

In his first commencement address, principal devan Ganeshananthan spoke about the misconception of what it is to be an “american” student.

Ganeshananthan was born in the united States to Sri lankan parents and said many assumed he was not american because of his complexion. an acquaintance born outside of the u.S. asked Ganeshananthan if there were many americans in edgemont, “‘you know, white people,’ my friend said.”

Ganeshananthan pointed out that “the question is very, very loaded in this day and age.” despite concern that the u.S. is lagging academically among other industrialized nations, he believes americans are “best in creative thinking.” Therefore, he said, “be and remain creative.”

Senior class speaker a.J. Stoughton said that unlike so many of the heroes and heroines in literature, young people today are indeed equipped for what lies ahead. “How can we say we are powerless?” He urged his classmates not to be scared to

take risks or fail. “all that is certain is you and the people around you. I hope we try, even if we don’t succeed,” Stoughton said, adding, “The ‘how’ in the act is as important as the deed itself.”

Stoughton’s father, Gerald, president of the edgemont Board of eduction, talked about academic paths that intersect and overlap among students and special relationships that allow students “to grow together as a class while pursuing individuality.” He congratulated the class on pursuing higher education in 60 colleges in 20 states in five countries on four continents.

Stoughton harkened back to the 1967 film “The Graduate,” with the one word of advice a businessman utters to a naïve college graduate played by dustin Hoffman: “Plastics.” Stoughton said the one word he’d use to sum up advice for the future would be “balance.” Balancing academics with sports, balance in life, and yes, he said, balancing the school budget. “Find your proper balance and you will be ready for what lies ahead.”

Finally, speaker ameya acharya remarked how quickly time had passed and which memories become the most meaningful. “When did I get so old?” as a child, she anticipated eating the cafeteria’s “coveted wraps” and “popcorn chicken,” and wondered when play dates would become real dates. achary pointed out that graduation is called commencement for a reason. “It’s not goodbye,” she said, “it’s ‘til we meet again.”

Other senior class officers were Katie Goldman, avery Klemmer, Greg loftus and Jack Young. Superintendent nancy Taddiken, presented diplomas to the graduates. commencement exercises concluded with a reception for the senior class sponsored by parents of the junior class and the PTSa.
