a message from the head master
andrew holmgren I
n this edition of Reflections, you will read about the restoration and dedication of the Lower School
entrance. The newly named W. P. Carey Lower School Building has seen many changes throughout the years.
Originally laid out in the shape of an ‘E’ for education, the building is now labyrinth-like, with several important additions such as the Luetkemeyer wing, the France-Merrick Admissions Suite, and the Nancy A. Hopkins Fifth and Sixth Age wing having been added over the years. The interior has also seen many restorations and remodels. Over the past 20 years, each classroom has been restored to its near original state, the beloved lockers have been refinished, the art room and library have received a modern refresh, and the list goes on. In each one of these projects, we ask ourselves a few simple questions. How do we complement the old with the new? How do we preserve that which makes Calvert special while incorporating all that we have learned over the past 100 years about educating children? How do we honor both Virgil Hillyer’s original vision for the school and his role as one of the great educational innovators of his time? In his own words, “Introduce the new constantly, or the old with a new setting, and correlate with as many parts of the old as possible.”
In restoring the entrance to the Lower School, the old’s influence on the new can be felt. As you will read in these pages, much of the exterior has been restored using the original plans from Laurence Hall Fowler. At the same time, a touch of the practical and the modern can be seen in the removal of the loop, the extension of the porch, and the addition of stairs. With our growing enrollment and the enlarging size of cars over the years, the loop was no longer a safe option for loading and unloading our little girls and boys. The physical plant is not the only area of the school that has received this restorative process. In the classroom and throughout our program, we continue to honor the innovative spirit of Head Master Hillyer and his charge to “introduce the new constantly.” Over the past few years, we have restored our well-regarded focus on teaching geography with our new Expedition Calvert program. We have revitalized and sharpened our focus on basic skills in areas such as the writing process, grammar acquisition, and how we teach our students to organize themselves and their academic lives. We have added courses in Latin, robotics, and leadership. We have introduced a musical, string ensemble, band, and several choral groups. We have reworked our schedules to focus more on the student experience, and we have even added new athletic opportunities such as ice hockey, tennis, and intramural squash for our Fifth Grade. We do all of this through the lens of what is best for elementary and middle school students, and always with a reverence for the wonders of childhood. As a seasoned Latin teacher, I have spent my career introducing the old in a new setting, striving to resonate with our modern students and lead them to a successful life beyond the classroom. I am pleased to continue that work each day and with my colleagues here at Calvert School. Sincerely,
Andrew Holmgren Head Master 6

alvert School named its Lower School for Wm. “Bill” Polk Carey ’42 during a dedication ceremony on October 5, 2018. More than 50 of Bill’s
classmates, friends, and family members attended the outdoor ceremony, some of whom traveled several hours to pay homage.
On the steps of the recently renovated front entrance of the Lower School, current students, including Carey family members Este Clark ’25 and Charlotte Harris ’24, sang “Silhouette Child” with fellow classmates and helped unveil the new building name by cutting the ribbon. The dedication was held outside the main entrance of the Lower School, and guests attended a seated luncheon in the Middle School immediately following the ceremony.

Bill Carey, who was born in 1930 and passed away in January of 2012, attended Calvert from 1935 to 1942, finishing in what was then called Twelfth Age. After graduating from Calvert, Bill attended Gilman School and graduated from Pomfret School, a boarding school in Connecticut. He completed his education by attending Princeton University and the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Business in 1953. Bill then served in the Air Force as an intelligence officer. He later founded a highly successful commercial real estate company, W. P. Carey & Co. in 1973 and subsequently the W. P. Carey Foundation in 1990. The W. P. Carey Foundation pledged $3.5 million, the largest single gift in the history of Calvert School. This gift, which will impact as many as 400 Lower Schoolers every year, established an endowment to support.

“Bill Carey’s extraordinary philanthropy will ensure that the educational tenets of Calvert will remain,” remarked Calvert School Head Master Andrew Holmgren, who noted at the naming dedication that the gift from the Carey Foundation will build on the education that Bill received and the philosophy of Virgil Hillyer, Calvert’s first Head Master. The W. P. Carey Foundation’s gift honors Bill's early education and furthers the School’s deep tradition of focusing on academic excellence, embracing educational innovation, building strong character, and fostering intellectual curiosity. Bill Carey’s commitment to Calvert lasted throughout his lifetime. On the subject of Calvert, many have heard Bill say, “Calvert was the best school I ever attended. The reason I write well and know grammar is thanks to Calvert.” At the naming dedication, William Polk Carey II, Chairman and President of the W. P. Carey Foundation, stated “Bill Carey would be proud to know that this building will now bear his name. He would be pleased to know that so many of his family members are still Calvert students and that the tradition and the quality of the education has continued after all of these years.”
A portrait of Bill Carey was painted by Lee Baskerville, who currently resides in Richmond. It took the artist about six weeks to paint Bill, based on photos and direction from the family. The portrait is now displayed in the Lower

It was a soggy but very successful fall season for the Black and Gold! All ten of our fall teams (field hockey, football, flag football, girls’ and boys’ soccer, volleyball, and cross country) represented our school with great pride and sportsmanship. Field hockey had a seven-win season highlighted by wins over Park School, Friends School of Baltimore, and Bryn Mawr School. The field hockey team finished their season with a 3-0 win over Dumbarton Middle School in a game played on Homewood Field at Johns Hopkins University. Football finished their season on a high note, shutting out backyard rival Gilman School 34-0 on Black & Gold Tailgate Day. Eighth Grade tailback Shuey Kelly ’19 led the team with a three-touchdown performance!

Sixth Grade flag football finished their season with great games against St. Paul’s School and Boys’ Latin. Boys’ A Soccer earned a spot in the conference semifinals with a 6-1 win over St. Ignatius, and the Girls’ A Soccer received a conference runner up honors in the girls’ tournament! Both Boys' and Girls' B Soccer teams had solid seasons with several wins over our peer schools. Our co-ed volleyball crew was again one of the area’s best Middle School programs, totaling thirteen wins! Our cross country team saw steady improvements throughout the season, highlighted by strong showings at both the Oregon Ridge meet and conference championships at St. James!

“Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’” Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

REFLECTIONS SPRING 2019
by Jay Parker, Director of the Institute for Leadership & Purpose
U
pon launching the Institute for Leadership & Purpose last May, we identified two clear,
yet ambitious goals for the 2018-2019 school year. First, we made a commitment to build stronger connections across our two divisions. Second, we aimed to provide meaningful opportunities to build character through hands-on, experiential work for all students from Fifth Age to Eighth Grade. An innovative approach to service learning quickly emerged as the tool to accomplish these goals.
A notable achievement of the Institute has been the creation of all-school Mornings of Service. Twice this past fall, our entire community came together to engage in service learning around important issues such as homelessness, the environment, and the importance of empathy. Why have these mornings set the stage for success? Foremost, all service learning is completed collaboratively between the Lower and Middle Schools. For example, our Ninth Age and Sixth Grade worked together on a sustainability project, while our Fifth Age and Eighth Grade concentrated on BARCS Animal Shelter. Student-to-student mentoring is a hallmark of the Institute and speaks to the inclusive and collaborative nature of the program. Additionally, each service learning project is approached through a head, hands, heart lens. This ensures that when our Seventh Agers
and Eighth Graders are supporting the Special Olympics in the Cool Schools Plunge, or the Sixth Age and Fifth Grade are participating in the Walk for Water, there is a commitment to education, action, and reflection to deepen the experience. These mornings are at the heart of our efforts to elevate service learning at Calvert, setting aside essential time for every student and adult to recognize his or her role in making the world a better place. Our work continues as we deepen our impact on tomorrow’s leaders. From outstanding Calvert traditions such as the MLK, Jr. Day of Service, International Week, and Earth Week to dynamic new experiences such as our Middle School MiniWeek and Service Trips, we are amplifying our commitment to our greater community. New partnerships with ShareBaby, Harlem Lacrosse, St. Elizabeth School, House of Ruth, Bedtime in a Box, and the Middle Grades Partnership have emerged just in the past few months. These efforts reflect our emphasis on building relationships to last and grow in the years to come. As Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. stated so eloquently over fifty years ago, “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?” Dr. King’s words echo more loudly today than ever before and stress the importance of our essential work to instill altruism, empathy, and compassion in our future leaders.

Hives by Angel Menefee, Sixth Grade Dean
D
uring our annual year-end meetings last spring, Middle School faculty
engaged
in
conversations
about
the
strengths of our program, as well as areas for growth. We identified our advisory and homeroom structures as an area of pride, as they provide students with daily opportunities to connect in both small single-gender groups and in larger co-ed groups. Additionally, we noted the value of our grade-wide Town Halls that allow students and advisors in each grade level to gather as a larger group one morning per cycle.
Providing students with opportunities to interact with teachers and students in other grade levels and to foster relationships outside of the classroom and beyond the academic year was an area we felt could be strengthened. While our schedule offered several all-Middle School activities, including assemblies and Black & Gold events, we wondered how well students of different ages knew one another and how deep their connections with teachers other than those on their daily schedule were. The word “hives” was brought up in our year-end meetings and was adopted to define our serendipitously perfect number of Middle School students to form fourteen groups, each with four fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth grade students, in addition to one male and one female “beekeeper.” We envisioned these hives as in-school families that would grow and learn together over the fouryear Middle School experience. With our Cecilius the Bee mascot and Head Master Holmgren’s propensity for all things Latin, it seemed logical to assign each hive a name associated with an Apis Mellifera (Honeybee) subspecies: Carnica, Capensis, Cecropia, Cypria, Iberiensis, Intermissa, Lamarkii, Macedonica, Mellifera, Monticola, Sahariensis, Siciliana, Simensis, and Syriaca.

REFLECTIONS SPRING 2019
As these hives began to take shape on paper, we considered the benefit of a multi-generational element. We began to rearrange the groups so siblings were together, and teachers were with their own children. We researched pillars of long-term club success like common values, opportunities for bonding, and shared projects and achievements. Considering Calvert’s faculty and staff provides these types of experience daily, we knew we were positioned for greatness. Our official Hives kick-off took place in early September of 2018. As we assigned seating in the assembly hall by hive, we saw our entire Middle School community blended together as never before. Highlights from our first semester include hive relay races, trivia contests, weekly challenges, pumpkin carving, and holiday door decorating. A cooking challenge, lip sync battle, geography bee, and service projects are a few of the second semester activities. While we celebrate the developing camaraderie between teachers and students during challenges and assemblies, what’s most remarkable are the meaningful interactions in between: when an Eighth Grader high-fives a Fifth Grader on the way to snack or when a Sixth Grader asks a Seventh Grader about yesterday’s game in between classes. Slowly but surely, these hives are forging relationships, creating leadership opportunities, and building hive legacies one new friendship at a time.
MiniWeek E
arlier this year the Middle School launched the first ever “MiniWeek.” During these exciting three
days of interdisciplinary workshops and activities, students had the opportunity to explore new interests outside of a traditional classroom setting.
Parents, teachers, and special guests stepped up to share a variety of talents, interests, and hobbies with the Calvert middle schoolers. Students were given a course catalogue to identify their preferences and then Becky Kinney and Alex Sloane, two Middle School teachers, developed an individualized schedule for each student emphasizing a mix of different activities. MiniWeek was held from October 31 to November 2. It began with a half-day packed full of many unique offerings including Japanese calligraphy, traditional rug hooking, and Star Wars philosophy. Students took advantage of the nice weather to play rugby and ultimate frisbee. Students also wrote letters to military troops serving overseas and planned for the Middle Grades Partnership leadership conference.

November 1 was another day of on- and off-campus learning experiences. Students visited the courtrooms of Judge Bennett and Judge Pastore-Klein, while others traveled to the Dallam family dairy farm. Many students enjoyed the day in the great outdoors by fishing, canoeing, or pedaling on a 15-mile bike trip on the NCR trail. On campus, students had courses in codebreaking, BBQ basics, politics, screenwriting, international cooking, digital photography, and much more. ShareBaby and Paul’s Place provided service opportunities. The fun continued on November 2 when students learned about food science, mediation, international dance, and CPR. Off-campus trips included a hike in Cromwell Valley Park, a visit to McFadden Art Glass, and a stream cleanup in Stony Run. MiniWeek concluded with an assembly where students shared their experiences and what they learned. Overall, MiniWeek was an exciting time and students had an enriching and engaging experience. We are so grateful to the faculty, parents, and guests who made the first MiniWeek a resounding success.

Thanks to the generosity of donors who have established endowed funds designated to support faculty and staff, Calvert was able to send several teachers around the globe in 2018. The significant impact of faculty and staff travel is abundantly clear as we read our teachers’ reflections, observe artifacts in their classrooms, and witness the firsthand knowledge they share with our students. Calvert is grateful to provide these meaningful opportunities thanks to the generosity of benefactors who have made endowed faculty and staff funds a philanthropic priority.
Joe Ali | Colorado Springs, Colorado Joe Ali attended the Gardner Carney Leadership Institute (GCLI), one of the premier leadership programs for teachers in the United States. While at the GCLI, Mr. Ali gained a better understanding of how to best utilize his strengths to create positive learning programs for Calvert’s Middle School students. It was through Mr. Ali’s moments of reflection at the GCLI that he brainstormed about Hives, which is a new program that brings together students from Fifth through Eighth Grade. Mr. Ali’s experiences at the GCLI have also helped him in his role as a committee member of Calvert’s newly-formed Institute for Leadership & Purpose. Thanks to this exceptional learning opportunity, Mr. Ali gratefully developed “the tools and confidence to implement a new program that will positively enhance our school culture for years to come.” Megan D’Andrea & Patty Pontier | Mexico Seventh Age teachers Megan D’Andrea and Patty Pontier traveled to the mountains of Central Mexico in February of 2018 to experience the renowned monarch butterfly migration. Ms. D’Andrea and Ms. Pontier have raised monarch butterflies in Calvert’s campus butterfly gardens for the past six years. They tirelessly find eggs or caterpillars and bring them inside from Calvert’s beautiful gardens so their students are able to watch the butterflies’ lifecycle in their classrooms. This trip allowed Ms. D’Andrea and Ms. Pontier to see where butterflies spend their winter, bringing the journey of raising monarchs full circle. Katie Leonard & Alexis Tantau | Indonesia Middle School Arts teachers Katie Leonard and Alexis Tantau traveled together to Bali for rewarding learning opportunities. Ms. Tantau and Ms. Leonard experienced the Wayang Kulit Shadow Puppet Theater, studied traditional Balinese arts and crafts, and visited the Bali Arts Festival. They gained a more informed perspective of Southeast Asian art through witnessing Balinese and Javanese artists perform and hearing from museum curators about the creation and purpose of Indonesian masks and puppets. Equipped with deeper knowledge from their trip, Ms. Tantau hopes this rich context will open the door for her students “to encounter other non-Western visual and performing arts with a curiosity that stems from having sampled a bit of it.” Since they traveled together, Ms. Leonard and Ms. Tantau will be able to collaborate on the wayang kuilt shadow puppet performance with their art and drama students this spring, bringing together visual and performing arts. Ms. Leonard returned to Calvert inspired to share everything she learned during her travels with fellow teachers and her students. In her own words, “This trip was a dream come true.”

Along with developing Mr. Pittman’s knowledge and expertise of French Creole languages in the Caribbean, he learned about the cultural history of the island, its agriculture, economy, and struggles with slavery. This learning experience not only prepared Mr. Pittman to better teach French and Francophone culture and history, but also serves to enrich Eighth Grade students’ knowledge of how slavery affected other nations and people aside from what they learn about the history of slavery in the United States. Reflecting on his experience, Mr. Pittman shared, “The possibility to travel and immerse oneself in another culture, language, history, or land is the most valuable and efficient form of professional development.”

Despite having spent many years reading articles about what makes Finnish education unique, Mrs. Menefee shared, “It was not until I stood in the back of several classrooms in Finland, experiencing their learning environments firsthand, that I truly understood.” She looks forward to implementing new philosophies in her classroom and asking herself, “What can I do differently?” rather than “What should my student be doing differently?"

H I L LY E R & F O W L E R ’ S ARCHITECTURAL L E G A C Y AT C A LV E R T by Lauren Murphy, Director of the Calvert Fund
M
any familiar with the history of Calvert School can readily identify its first Head Master, Virgil
M. Hillyer, yet few recognize the impact of another key figure in Calvert’s journey, Laurence Hall Fowler.
A graduate of Johns Hopkins University and Columbia University, Fowler was a prolific architect with a unique style and was, coincidentally, a dear friend of Hillyer. Fowler was passionate about history, favoring the juxtaposition of revival and classical styles, developing a unique and eclectic form all his own. He “strove to harmonize the natural surroundings of his work with their interiors and exteriors to create complete works of art reflecting the wishes and personalities of his clients.”1 Calvert’s move to Tuscany Road from West Chase Street was initiated by Virgil Hillyer, who recommended “an imperative need of a suburban location for Calvert School.”2 The Board of Trustees appointed a committee who discovered two and a half acres at Canterbury Road and 40th Street, described by Hillyer as “situated on the summit of a hill with a southern exposure, in a very desirable neighborhood, two blocks from The Johns Hopkins [University] property, removed from traffic and yet readily accessible to the Boulevard cars.”3 The Board voted to close the deal at a steal of just $21,000.

Building Committee Chairman Robert Garrett announced planned details for the future home of Calvert School, noting “The building is being designed by Laurence Hall Fowler, the winner of the Baltimore Memorial Prize Competition and will embody the most modern ideas in school buildings. It will contain besides the usual Classrooms, a Little Theatre, Cafeteria, an Arts and Crafts room, a Library, etc., and every phase of a child’s health and education will be provided for.”4 The 1922 announcement additionally described Hillyer and Fowler’s vision for boys to occupy one wing of the building and girls the other. Garrett’s release further mentioned plans for three playgrounds, an athletic field, and an outdoor theatre. As alumni parent Margaret Worrall wrote in Calvert School, The First Century: “Hillyer and Fowler were close friends, and the two were determined to create the ideal school structure. Hillyer insisted on large windows so that the rooms would be pleasant to children and let in light and air. He also made sure that the smallest details were not overlooked. For instance, the ends of the benches in the assembly room were carved with animals… Hillyer based the carvings on grotesque figures used on buildings in the Middle Ages to ward off evil spirits. Similarly, the balustrades have figures of candles and plants carved on them to symbolize enlightenment and growth.”5 Correspondence between Fowler and Hillyer provides insight into the close bond they shared; Hillyer often addressed Fowler as “My dear Laurence” closed his letters with “faithfully” and “very sincerely yours.” Perhaps having second thoughts on conducting business with friends, Hillyer wrote to Fowler in 1922, “The contract Mr. Gilkes tells me will have to wait for the next meeting of the trustees—I’m thoroughly disgusted with the way matters stand at present and I am sorry I got you into it, for the lord only knows what the outcome will be.”6 Unforeseen delays aside, Hillyer and Fowler worked closely together on details large and small. In a letter to Fowler dated October 13, 1924, Hillyer wrote, “In regard to the

lunch counter rail, what do you think of having black iron supports with a wooden hand rail matching the hardware and the woodwork in the lunchroom? My carpenter says that he could do it for $25.”7 Hillyer had strong opinions about the color of the plaster, the placement of administrative offices, and even the design of the drinking fountain, agreeing with Fowler that “it would be wise to let the matter go at present with simply the pipe projecting.”8 Hillyer’s frequent involvement was sometimes met with frustration. T. Newell Cox of the Consolidated Engineering Company put Fowler in the middle of an argument between him and Hillyer in 1925. In response to Hillyer’s criticism of an $83.00 charge for “hauling and spreading cinders and stone” for which Hillyer claimed to have already paid $30.85, Cox pleaded with Fowler. Cox noted, “...on several occasions Mr. Hillyer borrowed [his] man for a few days at a time and paid him directly.”9 As Cox shared, “the $30.85 expended by Mr. Hillyer did not begin to cover the total cost of this work.”10 Discrepancies of $30 and $83 may seem trivial to some in today’s world, but Hillyer’s careful review of every charge is yet another example of his fixation with this project. Despite small hiccups along the way, progress was made, and Fowler and Hillyer’s vision came to life. Although not completely finished, Calvert’s Lower School at 105 Tuscany Road opened its doors to an enrollment of 234 on October 1, 1924.11 While much has changed since

1924, much remains the same. Today’s students still use the beautifully ornate wooden lockers and sit on benches with details Hillyer envisioned. After their morning handshakes, the boys and girls separate to their respective wings. Last summer, the timely renovation of the Lower School entrance provided an opportunity to restore the architectural integrity of the space, honoring Fowler’s original design. Head Master Andrew Holmgren, whose love of history and architectural interests serendipitously mirror that of Hillyer’s one century ago, enjoyed being part of the design process. Of the renovation, Mr. Holmgren shared “It was very important to me that we restored the original arches. Since my very first visit to campus seven years ago, I have been bothered by the Lower School entrance —it looked incomplete. After some research, I found the columns and was also able to show that there was a single dark trim color on the entire exterior. I was very excited when my colleagues unearthed the original blueprints for the arches. What you see up there now in the arches is the original design.” Fowler’s architectural contributions to Calvert’s campus did not end with the Lower School. In 1928, Hillyer purchased a nearby lot and commissioned Fowler to design his own private residence, Castalia, present day home of the Holmgren family. It is no surprise that Hillyer was once again heavily involved. Overlooking no detail, Hillyer

shared a “list of matters still to be attended to” with Fowler, including an additional coat of paint on the iron garden gates, a faulty lock on the kitchen door, and a broken tile in bathroom “A.” Hillyer criticized a crack in the plaster of his main stairway, considering it “so conspicuous to everyone passing from the second to the third floor that something should be done about it as it looks as if the house were about to fall and reflects on the builder, the owner and everybody concerned.”12 Fowler seemingly corrected these issues and others, as Castalia still stands today. Among Mr. Holmgren’s favorite features of Castalia are the rough hewn stone columns that frame the main entrance of the house. As he notes, “The house itself looks very much like a medieval manor house, and on the inside, its dark woodwork has a very Tudor feel to it. I know that Virgil very likely had it decorated with many Renaissance and classical treasures. The columns are none of these things. They are almost megalithic in their appearance and placement, as though Hillyer and Fowler were taking you on a long history lesson by means of their design. The stone columns begin that journey at the front door.”
House and part of Calvert’s Middle School, One Oak Place was designed by Fowler for the “Misses Fowler,” as a home for his female cousins. Long before it housed Calvert’s Business Office and Development team—and, at one point, the family of Calvert’s Head Master—Two Oak Place was designed by Fowler for Dr. John Howland, renowned professor of pediatrics at Johns Hopkins University and pediatrician-in-chief of Johns Hopkins Hospital. As noted by Amy K. Kimball and Edward R. Mudd for the Baltimore Architecture Foundation, Fowler “employed three distinct styles in keeping with the growing neighborhoods of Tuscany-Canterbury, Roland Park, and Guilford. All are within sight of one another and, while complementary, are not the same.”13 The esthetics may differ, but the three houses serve as reminders of the continued bond between Fowler and Calvert School. Laurence Hall Fowler’s architectural accomplishments, including the War Memorial on City Hall Plaza, the John Work Garrett Library at Evergreen House, and about 80 private residences in the Baltimore area, are vast, but we are most partial to his contributions at 105 Tuscany Road.
Although not part of Calvert’s campus at the time, several private homes designed by Fowler now seamlessly blend into Calvert’s landscape. Before it became the Luetkemeyer

a message from the co-chairs of
the Calvert Fund Dear Calvert Community, It has been our pleasure to serve as Chairs of this year’s Calvert Fund. We volunteered for this responsibility because we see the benefits of a Calvert education daily in our children, Bennett and Clara. The Calvert Fund supports all aspects of the Calvert experience, providing resources like new technology, athletic equipment, teachers’ salaries, financial aid, and maintenance of our beautiful campus, just to name a few. Through our role, we have had the opportunity to learn about the remarkable commitment of fellow parents, alumni, grandparents, and friends of Calvert. We have enjoyed the many conversations shared with those who make Calvert a philanthropic priority year after year, and we are humbled by their generosity. At Calvert, we’re tremendously proud of our donors’ participation. Last year, 92% of parents made a gift to the Calvert Fund, giving Calvert the highest parent participation rate among all Baltimore independent schools. Our goal this year is to surpass this remarkable achievement—we’re close with 81% parent participation thus far! While donations of all sizes make a tremendous impact, your participation is what matters most.
Above: Chris and Peter Espenshade with their children, Clara '22 and Bennett '20.
To date, we have raised over $900,000 in support of the Calvert Fund. With your help, we’re confident we will reach our goal of $1,200,000 by June 30, 2019. Please join us in supporting Calvert School today by making an online gift or using the envelope enclosed in this issue of Reflections. Thank you for your support of Calvert School.

A Tale of Two Calvert Brothers: FRANK AND BILL CAREY
T
hrough their generosity and commitment, Francis “Frank” J. Carey, Jr. ‘38 and Wm. “Bill”
Polk Carey ‘42 formed deep roots at Calvert and developed an extended family within many educational circles throughout Baltimore and beyond.
Frank and Bill's maternal grandfather founded Arizona State University and their paternal grandmother founded Gilman School. Both of these family members helped set their path to philanthropy and laid the foundation for their educational focus in giving. “They were such an exceptional family; I spent many days and nights at their grandparents’ home on Churchwardens,” recalls Dr. Earl P. Galleher Jr., a retired Baltimore urologist. “Frank and Billy were great friends of mine. It’s a friendship that went back more than 75 years.” Dr. Galleher, husband of Martha Wheelwright Galleher ’45, attended the W. P. Carey Lower School Building Naming Dedication in October and later shared a few memories of his friendship with the Carey brothers. “When Frank graduated from Calvert in 1938, he came to Gilman and we became best friends. This led to a great friendship with Billy,” remembers Dr. Galleher. “Billy reminded me of his grandfather, Francis King Carey, in looks and through his mannerisms. Frank was much more like their father, Francis James Carey. Both men were prominent Baltimore attorneys and influential in the lives of Billy and Frank. Billy and Frank made a rather large contribution to the University of Maryland School of Law in honor of their grandfather.” George Thomsen ’42 attended the naming dedication as well, and he reflected on his friendship by saying that “Bill and I were good friends during our Calvert School years, and often played ping pong together in each other's basements and often too in the basement in one of his and one of my grandmothers, each of whom lived conveniently close.”

George continued, “In the years after Calvert we were together less often, but remained in communication even after he moved to New York City. I followed his business career, and once owned some stock in his company (W. P. Carey Inc.). Calvert prepared each of us well for our post-Calvert education, and for our own later business and personal lives.” Juliana Keyser Harris ’85, Executive Director of the W. P. Carey Foundation, considered Bill Carey a mentor, a boss, and a father figure, due to the early passing of her father, Peter D. Keyser. She said, “Bill and Frank Carey loved Calvert, and often credited their elementary school with later successes in life. Bill was fond of saying ‘Calvert was the best education I received anywhere,’ which is high praise considering he also attended Gilman, Princeton, and Wharton. He and Frank would be proud to be remembered as part of the promising future of the school in their hometown where they received such a formative education.” Juliana continued, “Bill Carey took to heart first Head Master Virgil Hillyer’s belief that ‘The first teaching is the most important of all.’ He and his brother Frank took great pride in being Calvert alumni. Both applied the study skills
they learned at Calvert in their subsequent educations and professional lives. Both were spectacular spellers and sticklers for grammar.” Bill and Frank Carey’s niece, Gwendolen “Wendy” G. Bond, who attended Bill Carey’s naming dedication in the fall, remembered this about her uncles: “Bill and Frank were always upbeat and had no use for negative thinking. Their positive outlook and focus on the future was reflected in their philanthropy and the legacy that they left at many of our local institutions.” EDUCATIONAL AND CAREER PATHS
Frank Carey graduated from Calvert School in 1938 and Gilman School in 1943. From Gilman, Frank attended Princeton University and then the University of Pennsylvania, where he earned a bachelor’s degree when he was 19 years old. Before going back to the University of Pennsylvania to earn his law degree, Frank served in the Navy from 1945 to 1946 in the Pacific, as a communications and navigation officer aboard the USS Nicolet, and attained the rank of Lieutenant Junior Grade before being discharged. After retiring from his subsequent practice of law, he became president of W. P. Carey, & Co., a highly-successful real estate investment firm that had been founded by Bill in 1973. “Bill relied heavily on Frank for legal advice," Dr. Galleher said. “During Bill’s remarks at a dinner that he gave at the Peabody Library in Baltimore, Bill said that Frank was the best real estate attorney that he knew.” After graduating from Calvert in 1942, Bill left Maryland to attend Pomfret boarding school in Connecticut. In 1953, he graduated with a bachelor's degree in economics from the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business. After finishing at Wharton, Bill spent two years as an intelligence officer in the Air Force, where he attained the rank of lieutenant and was stationed in Morocco. Dr. Galleher remembered, “Bill took a job at his stepfather’s car dealership in Plainfield, New Jersey. After that job, he took an extensive trip to Australia, where he got the idea for the sale-leaseback financing strategy that led to W. P. Carey & Co.” Dr. Galleher recalled a story demonstrating Bill’s great character and integrity. “Francis King Carey was a major
Carey family and friends at the Francis J. Carey, Jr. Middle School Dedication ceremony in 2003.
shareholder in a sugar beet business in Colorado. The business failed and a generation later, Bill personally identified all the beet farmers who lost money from small to large amounts, and he repaid the families for their losses. This story was featured in People Magazine in 1987.” “Bill passed away in 2012 and Frank in 2014. They are missed very much. For so many, their legacy and example remain very strong. They are still making an impact today,” said Dr. Galleher. TRANSFORMATIVE GIFTS TO CALVERT SCHOOL AND OTHER EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS
When Bill Carey founded the W. P. Carey Foundation in 1990, his mission was to give back to educational institutions with a tradition of excellence and longstanding ties to the Carey family. At Calvert, the Francis J. Carey Jr. Middle School and the W. P. Carey Lower School were named to reflect their great support and commitment. “Frank Carey was an integral leader of the Foundation from its inception until the end of his life, serving as President for over two decades and then Chairman. The W. P. Carey Foundation continues to make transformative gifts in the areas of business and legal education, and has supported local institutions including Johns Hopkins, University of Maryland, Gilman, Bryn Mawr, and Baltimore School for the Arts, in addition to Arizona State University and the University of Pennsylvania,” said Juliana Harris.

The Calvert Golf Classic
r a e Y d r o c A Re
T
he 13th Annual Calvert Classic was held on Monday, October 22, 2018 at Green Spring Valley Hunt Club. With 13 event sponsors and 110 golfers,
this year’s golf tournament saw the largest turnout yet. It was a wonderful showing of alumni, parents, grandparents, and friends of Calvert.
For the past twelve years, the annual Calvert Golf Classic has been an integral community builder, but this year the committee made the decision to raise funds to benefit our growing financial aid program. Calvert currently enrolls around 600 students, and 30% of them receive some form of financial aid. The golfers in attendance and our generous sponsors helped to ensure that Calvert continues to provide financial aid to families who could otherwise not afford a Calvert education. After a close but friendly competition, the 2018 top scoring team included Matthew Nardangeli, Ryan Normandeau, Bill Mulcahy, and Pearson Hill. With a score of 59, this team won the Albert H. Michaels ’51 Cup. Congratulations to our contest winners: Adam Ariosa who was Closest to the Pin, Jon Murphy who took the Men’s Long Drive, and Susan Carroll who won the Women’s Long Drive. Thank you once again to all of our sponsors–the day would not be possible without all of you. We are thrilled to share that we raised $8,727! Next year's event is already scheduled for Monday, October 7, 2019. If you are interested in joining the golf committee to help plan this wonderful event, please reach out to Carly Slagel, Director of Alumni Relations.

1947 Emita Brady Hill shares, “It's been a good year for me if a bad one for the planet. I was able to be in France— Bordeaux in March, and to dive at the Great Barrier Reef in October. Christmas saw one daughter, two grandsons, and two visitors from Taiwan under my roof so we had a wonderful live tree decorated by the four young folk, a goose cooked by yours truly, and an amazing büche created by my amazing multi-talented daughter. A book is at the publisher and with any luck will be out by late 2019 or early 2020. I continue to play tennis, sing and play piano, ballroom dance, and enjoy good health for which I am profoundly grateful . I'm trying to improve my very inadequate Spanish but not committing the time necessary to do a really good job. I do feel guilty about that.”
Terry Lacy shares, “this year “Smith-in-Europe” met in Brussels. As always, I loved seeing the older Smithies and meeting the younger ones. Leana Clothier came with me from Iceland and helped me through the airports, and in Brussels there was always a helping hand. When I went last year to Massachusetts, Katy Haas visited me at Rob’s and recorded an interview which Calvert School showed at the Alumni Cocktail Party in May in Baltimore. Calvert sent me a pair of socks with the yellow and black Calvert logo Back home in Iceland, work continued on the EnglishIcelandic Legal Dictionary that my partner Rafn Kjartansson and I have been writing. We have kept at it all these years by sharing a sense of humor. Finally finished correcting all 888 pages, 16,500 entries. May the new year bring health and real efforts to mitigate the anthropogenic part of climate change. Be sure to look me up if you pass through Iceland.” Emita Hill's French and Taiwanese tree trimmer helpers.

Sadly, my husband, who has been part of my Calvert Reunions and knew most of my classmates, died in April. I am sure that Ann Clapp and Colston Young would agree that our Calvert classmates were there to support us. We, the Class of 1951, really love each other!”
Frank Gluck '51 with friends at Dakota Shy.
Francis “Frank” Gluck, Jr. and his wife, Judy, celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in the Napa Valley last October. They were joined by their son Rob and daughter-in-law, Ann, which made the occasion extra special. “One of the highlights was a visit to Tom Garrett's son's winery “Dakota Shy,” where Tom, Jr. is winemaker. We spent several hours with the two Toms and staff and had lots of fun reminiscing. Tom and I had only seen each other once since we had left Baltimore fifty years ago, but it felt like yesterday. I highly recommend “Dakota Shy” to any wine lover. Judy and I finished the trip with a few days in San Diego, where we met and spent the first year of our married life. A great celebration!”
