LETTER FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL
I
If you happened to visit the Cape Henry campus during the last few weeks, you may have noticed groups of industrious young children — tools in hand — eagerly planting thousands of daffodil bulbs with the hopeful dream of an early spring. Throughout the bright sunny days of October these happy bands of workers cultivated plots of land throughout the campus. They set about their task of world beautification with the playful determination that can only be found at a school and only described as totally delightful. This special project was designed by the Lower School faculty to help our students understand earth science and to experience, first hand, the life cycle of a beautiful flower. Wendy Mogel, a well-known psychologist and author of the bestselling parenting book, The Blessing of a Skinned Knee, once offered an interesting analogy which came to my mind when I saw our young laborers working the sandy campus soil. She suggested that we, “Try to see a child as a seed that came in a packet without a label. Our job is to provide the right environment and nutrients and to pull the weeds.” I believe that independent schools such as Cape Henry Collegiate School accept the challenge to educate the best students by striving to create the correct environment for young learners to grow. We at Cape Henry accept the

responsibility for our students’ education and we provide the fertile soil – that is, the necessary instruction and a supportive community – so they truly will flourish. We create opportunities to succeed, take risks, and make mistakes. These opportunities appear in the forms of an effective honor code, a comprehensive extracurricular program, high expectations and rigorous academic standards.Yes, at Cape Henry it is safe for a student to occasionally fail a test or a quiz or make a wrong decision and yet, it is also expected that in the long run, growth will occur and success will surely follow.

are advisors, class sponsors, committee leaders, coaches, and counselors. Our teachers blend the soil that nourishes and cultivates student learning. They help build character as they focus the students on the future. This unyielding dedication to the student enables us to stand apart from other schools. For now, the daffodil bulbs are lying dormant in the campus soil, silently receiving the nutrients necessary for their growth and bloom in the spring. For now, our Lower School students have moved on from the planting season to new challenging work provided by their teachers. And yet, I know that we all await the spring and the rewards it will bring — for our students and the campus — with the youthful anticipation and curiosity that can only be cultivated in a great school.
and a supportive community – so they truly will flourish.
CAPE HENRY SOUNDINGS
The life at Cape Henry must involve high expectations. We hold high expectation for our teachers, as professionals, and we hold high expectations for our students, as learners. We seek to attract a highly capable faculty that anticipates and demands extraordinary work from themselves and others within the school and efforts that exceed what might be expected of ordinary people. At Cape Henry, teachers provide formal and informal feedback to help students achieve. This ability is supported by creating small classes and by hiring caring teachers who do more than just teach a particular subject. Our teachers

Dr. John P. Lewis
CAPE HENRY SOUNDINGS
Since his arrival on July 1, 2002, Dr. John P. Lewis has already played a very active role in all aspects of life at Cape Henry Collegiate School. His involvement with faculty, students of every age, parents,Trustees, area civic leagues, and, in particular, the senior class and alumni, has been exemplary. From the first day of school, which began with a formal Convocation in both the Middle and Upper Schools, to the Parents’ Association meetings and numerous “open forums” held after school for faculty,“Jack” has shown his strength, vision, conviction, and compassion. He teaches an Upper School honors history class entitled Freedom: Limitations and Responsibilities. He gives to the Annual Fund and encourages those who have never given to join him. He speaks to the community about Cape Henry as an asset to the neighborhood, city, and the entire Hampton Roads area. He promotes free computer workshops and professional training for interested faculty and staff. He serves as the President of the CHCS Board of Trustees. He personally mentors the Senior Class by hosting dinners. He advises the Alumni Board of Directors with new challenges and a bright promise for their involvement and influence over the School’s future. In less than six months, Dr. Lewis has immersed himself in Cape Henry Collegiate School’s tradition and has emerged with new ideas and directions for its future. Even while educating himself to the “ways” of Cape Henry, Dr. Lewis has shown his new constituents who he really is.Though very focused and determined, Dr. Lewis’ sense of humor is apparent in most conversations and can be seen in the following excerpts from an interview conducted by Graham Power, Senior staff writer for Voices, the Upper School newspaper.

Excerpts from an Interview with Dr. Jack Lewis by Graham Power, Class of 2003
On the first day of school, Senior Class President Joe Riddle gave a speech about changes. Some of these changes came in the form of new developments and some recent additions, but the change that Joe spoke of most was the new guy in town. This year, Cape Henry has a new Head of School, Dr. John Patrick Lewis, known to the teachers as Jack. He comes from a rich educational background where he has played both the role of student and the role of teacher. His dedication and ambition are immense; however, he tries not to take life too seriously. Most of all, Dr. Lewis has a commitment to others. His demeanor is warm; and his office is always open to teachers and students alike. From an interview conducted on September 13, 2002.

Dr. Lewis: I started out in the summer and enjoyed the preparation for the upcoming year, but the campus and all of the buildings were pretty empty, so I really looked forward to the first day of school. I started out as a Middle School teacher; I like having students around, and I really like to teach. Graham: Any surprises? Dr. Lewis: There are always pleasant surprises.

ANNUAL FUND GIFT BENEFITS LOWER SCHOOL MATH by Mary Davies, Vice President for Institutional Advancement
6 CAPE HENRY SOUNDINGS
At Cape Henry Collegiate School, professional development for our teachers is paramount.We are proud of establishing a rigorous academic program and strive to improve classroom instruction by educating our teachers, as well as our students. Due to the generosity of an Annual Fund gift made by the Dreyfus Foundation, five Lower School teachers, Laura Lechler, Susan Airing, Catherine Capilongo, Kelly Christianson and Leesa Hannah were privileged to attend the Dana Hall Math Conference in Boston this past summer.The gift also covered the cost of purchasing the necessary learning materials to support these programs. The conference was an intensive and interactive five-day experience designed to assist the teachers in extending their
own mathematical understanding as part of their role as curriculum facilitators and developers.The mathematics education included work with: • Manipulatives, • Multiple ways to solve a problem using arithmetic and computation as byproducts of a rich problem solving curriculum, • Instructional methods a teacher can use to better prepare students for the remainder of the century, and • Exploration of new assessment models and grouping. Presentations were also made on the study of mathematics strands, including probability, numbers, geometry, logic, measurement and patterns. Two teachers, Laura Lechler and Kelly Christianson, returned to school this
fall and made a presentation to teachers in Grades Three through Five. They covered the material presented at the conference and the techniques for incorporating this new material in the classroom. The teachers were excited to share the games, which were particularly varied and useful for all grade levels, with the students. The teachers especially like to combine classes to promote interactive learning. As Leesa Hannah relayed when she returned, “I have quite a bit of work by my students displayed in the hall and in the classroom as a direct result of some of the things we learned at the conference.The conference was excellent and has really impacted the way we teach math.”

NEIGHBORHOOD ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (NAP) Support Cape Henry Collegiate School’s deserving young people by giving to the Students’ Assistance Foundation, and you will be rewarded twice. When you make a gift using the Neighborhood Assistance Program (NAP), you not only help young people achieve their personal best, but you are also rewarded for your generosity by receiving tax credit for your gift. The Neighborhood Assistance Program is a unique program of the Commonwealth of Virginia that emphasizes partnerships between the private and public sectors to assist the economically underprivileged.The state approves projects for nonprofit organizations and processes tax credits for eligible donors who contribute to the project. Tax credits are received via “coupons” that donors may claim (or redeem) when they file their state tax return. Unlike direct government grants, this form of state assistance involves no transfer of state dollars. Rather, the nonprofit organization assumes full responsibility for securing the desired financial support through its own fundraising efforts using the tax credit as an incentive. The tax credit not only stretches the amount an individual or business might normally be able to give, but it enables the redirection of tax dollars to help finance local projects such as the Students’ Assistance Foundation at Cape Henry Collegiate School.The Students’ Assistance Foundation is a part of the School’s endowment program. • State tax credit is provided as incentive for individuals and businesses to contribute directly to approved nonprofit organizations. • Contributions made by individuals may be made in cash only. • Business contributions may be in the form of cash, stock, real estate, or professional services. • In return for contributions, donors receive credits that may be applied against state income tax liability.
Any individual or married couple making a cash donation between $500 and $1,666.67 to the CHCS Students’ Assistance Foundation qualifies for the 45% credit. Any business entity authorized to do business in the Commonwealth of Virginia also qualifies for the credit. The 45% tax credit may be available to the business for donations of between $889 and $388,889. INDIVIDUAL OR MARRIED COUPLE DONATION (example) Minimum Cash Donation $500 X 45% = $225 Tax Credit Maximum Cash Donation* $1,666.67 X 45% = $750 Tax Credit
BUSINESS DONATION (example)
Minimum Donation $889 X 45% = $400 Tax Credit Maximum Donation* $388,889 X 45% = $175,000 Tax Credit
All donations must be valued in accordance with IRS standards. In most cases, a business donating to an eligible NAP organization can retrieve 70% of the donation in Federal and state tax benefits. Please confer with your accountant. *Donations eligible for NAP credits may be limited depending on the number of credits still available at the time the donation is made.

ST. PETER’S BASILICA by Paul G. Lankford
M
16 CAPE HENRY SOUNDINGS
My trip to Italy this past summer became a journey of the heart. In St. Peter’s Basilica one June afternoon, I found myself separated from my wife and son and the other members of my tour group. But the separation seemed more than physical as I lost myself in the complete beauty of my surroundings. All I had ever felt or studied or read about the worlds of art and music and faith coalesced as I stood behind a rope cordoning off the front of the Basilica and listened to the swelling of the voices and the organ just prior to the five o’clock Mass. Against my family’s advice and wishes, I had spent the last thirty-three years of my life as a high school teacher; indeed, much of that time I had also endured the negative public perception of teaching as a profession. In the 1960s as I had prepared for graduation from The College of William and Mary, men entered the teaching profession to coach a sport, primarily; while they may also have taught social studies or physical education or perhaps math, they did not enter the profession with the goal of becoming lifelong high school English teachers. Certainly my family knew of my sensitivities to faith and to literature and music and art, and so they had assumed I would enter the ministry.With relatives on both sides who had been ministers, choir directors, organists, and Sunday school teachers, I had descended from long lines of “church people.” But my own inner calling had always been to the classroom, to “minister” there to young people who might need someone who understood and appreciated the myriad connections among history, literature, art, music and, often, faith as well. But what I had yearned for throughout a successful career in the classroom was the one element that had been missing from the beginning: an affirmation, an approval—a blessing. And as I stood in St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome in my fifty-fifth year, I prayed for
that blessing amid the beauty of art and music and light and sound. I found myself remembering an essay by the philosopher Simone Weil, a discussion of how beauty fully experienced here on earth can be an opening to universal beauty. As the procession of altar boys and priests and the archbishop passed by me, I understood in an instant the power and the beauty of majesty here on earth as a symbol, as an opening, to the power and beauty of a higher, eternal majesty. I turned away reluctantly as the Mass began. I was to meet my fellow travelers outside at five o’clock, and now in fact that time had already arrived. As I began to walk
back toward the entrance, my eyes filled with years’ worth of tears-not tears of regret, however, but tears of gratitude that I had just experienced such a complete crystallization of beauty. And at just that moment, the miracle occurred.
MR. PAUL LANKFORD In the fall of 2000, Paul Lankford began his second teaching career at Cape Henry Collegiate School, where he now teaches English 9, English 10, and English 11 Honors. He continues to serve his profession as a consultant to the Committee on Comparative and World Literature and as an editorial board member of the Virginia English Bulletin. He also continues to speak at state and national conferences as well as at local book club meetings. When not behind a podium, Mr. Lankford often appears as Francis Land at the Francis Land House Museum and Gardens. He is a graduate of The College of William and Mary with an AB degree in English Language and Literature and holds an MSEd degree in Elementary and Secondary Reading from Old Dominion University. Mr. Lankford retired from Virginia Beach City Public Schools in 2000
after 31 years, first as an English teacher at Bayside High School and, for the last 21 years of his career, as English Department Chairman at Green Run High School. During that time, he served as longtime member and chair of the Committee on Comparative and World Literature of the National Council of Teachers of English and as Executive Secretary of the Virginia Association of Teachers of English. He co-authored two books: Classics in World Literature (Scott Foresman, 1989) and A Teacher’s Guide to the Short Story (NCTE Press, 1996). Mr. Lankford’s professional awards include Virginia Beach and Virginia English Teacher of the Year (1982),Virginia Beach and Hampton Roads Teacher of the Year (1990), Delta Kappa Gamma Friend to Education Award (1990), and Cox Communication’s Great Citizen of Hampton Roads Award (1991).

Our group’s visit to St. Peter’s had coincided with the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul, and priests and other representatives of the Church stood about the Basilica to collect donations for the Pope’s own personal charity. Earlier I had, in fact, placed money in one of the collection boxes as I had entered. And so, when a priest approached me from a side aisle, I assumed that he was soliciting funds for charitable distribution. I was wrong, for this man seemed to seek me out personally and directly. In Italian, he inquired,“Doctore?” No, I thought inside, I’m not a doctor. But
then somehow I realized that he was asking me if I were a teacher.“A teacher? Well, yes, but I’m not a college teacher, just a high school English teacher. And I apologize for crying, but it is all. . .” [and my tear-filled eyes looked over and around both of us] “so incredible, and I never in my life expected to find such overwhelming beauty anywhere.” The priest took my hands in his and kissed the back of each hand in a way that I can only describe as gentle, respectful, and completely spiritual in manner. He then raised my hands and used them to wipe

Rather, the School will run the two websites side by side.There will also be a link between the two homepages so they will work in tandem.The www.capehenry.org site will be geared more towards “first impressions,” and will emphasize admissions and general information for prospective students and web visitors.The daily business, calendars, homework assignments, etc. will still be available on the www.chcs.pvt.k12.va.us site.
All of this information will still be accessed by logging on to either site. NEW! CHCS Email List!
Our new CHCS email list is a useful form of communication for all in the CHCS community. Simply by signing up on the homepage subscribers are added to Cape Henry’s email list and periodically receive updates from CHCS regarding announcements and calendars.This email list does not take the place of one-onone communications, the parent phone tree, or bulletins on local radio and TV news when the School must closed due to inclement weather. But with just one click, it provides another efficient way for the School to stay in touch and to get the word out when needed. STUDENT EMAIL ADDRESSES!
new, permanent email addresses, our students will be able to remain connected to their CHCS “roots.” THIS WEEK AT CHCS!
THIS WEEK AT CHCS! is a new homepage feature which is already up and running. It allows parents, faculty, and students to see the most current information and most prominent events scheduled for the week ahead.Those on our email list will also receive an email announcement about the upcoming week’s events. All of these new features are being added to serve you, our parents, students, Alumni, and friends.The more we communicate, the better it is for everyone.These new “technical ties” are designed to be an aid in our efforts to communicate efficiently, unobtrusively, and in a timely manner.Your suggestions and comments are always welcome.

By next fall, all students in the Upper School will be given their own email address that will be theirs permanently—even as they move on to colleges, careers, and families of their own. By providing the students with their own “link” to Cape Henry, the School will be able to stay in touch and be more aware of Alumni needs as they move into their careers.

AMY WATERSYARSINSKE ’81
Amy WatersYarsinske, Valedictorian, Class of 1981
by Judith Godsey, Director of Communications
O
One evening this summer, I received an excited phone call from a very dear friend and one of our CHCS alums with instructions to turn on CNN at 7:00 A.M. the next morning. Amy Waters Yarsinske ’81 was going to be interviewed on the CNN’s American Morning with Paula Zahn. Amy, a former intelligence officer in the Naval Reserves, had just written a book called No One Left Behind which was published in July by Penguin Putnam/Dutton. Along with getting national attention, she was also nominated for the Pulitzer Prize for nonfiction for Dead or Alive, a six-part feature series on Scott Speicher that ran on the front page of The Virginian-Pilot from December 30, 2001, through January 4, 2002. No One Left Behind chronicles the tale of Navy pilot, Scott Speicher, who was shot down over Iraq during the Gulf War and is still believed by many to be alive and held captive there by Saddam Hussein. As a result of Amy’s book and research, national attention was focused on Speicher’s case once again, and his status was changed to “Missing In Action.”
18 CAPE HENRY SOUNDINGS
The following promo was written about Amy’s interview on CNN. MONDAY, JULY 15, 2002. “A Washington Times article about a U.S. Gulf War pilot believed to be alive. Is Speicher still alive? Captain Scott Speicher’s plane was shot down in 1991 over Iraq in the first night of
Operation Desert Storm. Initially classified by the Department of Defense as killed in action, Captain Speicher’s status changed to missing in action in January 2001. On Thursday, the Bush administration turned down an invitation from the Iraqis to meet to discuss Speicher.We’ll discuss this new development with Amy WatersYarsinske, the author of No One Left Behind, which tells Speicher’s story.” No One Left Behind has not only earned Amy a Pulitzer nomination for nonfiction, but has also placed her in the running for the National Book Award. Both prizes are among the most prestigious for any author. In addition to this book, Amy has authored Wings of Valor,Wings of Gold: An Illustrated History of U.S. Naval Aviation, and The Jamestown Exposition: American Imperialism on Parade,Volumes I and II. She has actually written scores of other books which reflect her broad interest in historical and contemporary subjects. Amy is currently at work on All in Good Time, a biography of Landmark founder, Frank Batten. Her most recent regional works include Virginia Beach: A History of Virginia’s Golden Shore (to be released late fall by Tempus Publishing); A Salute to NATO-Fifty Years of Norfolk’s International Azalea Festival; The Martin Years: Norfolk Will Always Remember Roy, Forward for Freedom—The Story of Battleship Wisconsin (BB-64), and Mud Flats to Master Jet Base-Fifty Years at NAS Oceana.
Born in Norfolk, Virginia, and raised in the Great Bridge section of Chesapeake, Amy graduated as valedictorian of the Cape Henry Collegiate School Class of 1981 and went on to receive her Bachelor of Arts degrees in economics and English from Randolph-Macon Woman’s College in Lynchburg,Virginia. From there, she earned her Master of Planning degree from the University of Virginia School of Architecture. Amy is a member of the Authors Guild and an inductee into the Virginia Center for the Book’s distinguished Virginia Authors Room. She is also a member of the Rotary Club of Norfolk; the Naval Order of the United States and its Hampton Roads Chapter; the Association of Naval Aviation and its Hampton Roads Squadron; the Battleship Wisconsin Foundation; the Naval Aviation Museum Foundation, and a graduate of the CIVIC Leadership Institute as well as a member of its board of directors. Currently, Amy lives in Norfolk with her husband, Ray, a defense analyst, and their three children, Ashley, Allyson and Raymond III. She is represented by Peter Rubie, of the Peter Rubie Literary Agency, New York; David Grossman, of the David Grossman Literary Agency, London; and William Contardi, of New York, her film and television agent. Recently Amy relayed to me her feelings about her years spent at Cape Henry and how they affected her life and career. She said, “Though it has been over twenty years since I graduated from Cape Henry, I think back to that time often, especially with children of my own in school. A private education is a great gift that we
SCHOOL NEWS
have afforded our own children, largely as the result of my experience at Cape Henry. I know what the possibilities and dreams can become as I look back at the successes and gains in my own life. Cape Henry nurtured and melded character, commitment and a sense of community service, and this is an important part of who I am today. No One Left Behind addresses core values and character in the military. ‘The sanctity of the warrior’s code-the one that says we will leave no
one behind-is being tested by the case of a naval aviator named Michael Scott Speicher, shot down on January 17, 1991, during the opening hours of the Persian Gulf War.’This quote from the book has been used broadly in commentaries across the country, but I think it speaks to who we are as a country, as a fighting force and as human beings that we leave no one behind-that we would go back nearly twelve years later to make the situation right for Scott Speicher. ”

HISTORY OF THE AUCTION
There is a history to Cape Henry’s annual auction. It began over ten years ago with parents preparing and then serving food in the small gymnasium. Dinner was followed by the auction with a volunteer-parent as auctioneer.When the crowed outgrew the gym, the event was moved to theVirginia Beach Dome. Year after year clever parents transformed the Dome into a party atmosphere. In 1985 and 1986 parent and restaurateur, John Perros, served an elegant Greek buffet. For the 1987 auction, another giant step was taken.The event was moved from the Dome to a hotel ballroom with seated gourmet dinners for tables of ten.The upgrade provided an elegant evening for three hundred parents and an increase of $12,000 in net profits.
19 CAPE HENRY SOUNDINGS
Dear Dr. Moomaw, Thought I’d drop you a note to let you know how pleased I was to read the recent article in the Beacon concerning the school. I think what impressed me the most was the endeavor of the school “not only to teach, but to educate our students for life.” Now that I’ve graduated and am experiencing so much about what the real world is all about, I can appreciate the lessons of life I learned beyond the conventional textbook education.Through the strong foundation I was afforded at Cape Henry, I have been able to make a successful transition into the academic and social life of college. The value of a Cape Henry education comes from a special commitment by the faculty and administration to the development of the finest qualities within the students. As a former student, such genuine interest, concern, and time spent with students impressed me a great deal. I suppose I’ll always have fond memories of the school because of the people - those extra special teachers and friends who provided me with the full benefit of not only the knowledge of the academic fields, but their invaluable life experiences.This alone sets Cape Henry Collegiate apart from other schools. Congratulations on the article. I enjoyed reading it, and I know the recognition is more than overdue. Cape Henry is a fine school with much to offer its students and the community. I hope to visit soon.

The Dolphin Booster Club is organizing and seeking members to assist the school, coaches and teams in a variety of functions.This support group for athletes is a committee of the Parents Association. Its immediate concerns are to offer help to the Athletic Director where needed, developing a team-parent organization to actively assist each coach, further recognize student athletes, to provide transportation assistance for teams and spectators and to generate funds in support of athletic programs.
Love speaks many languages . . . GrahamYoung with friends from the orphanage.
In addition to their efforts to help the refugees and children in the orphanage, Third World Grace also supports a scholarship fund which supplements tuition costs and enables a student from a Third World country to attend their college of choice. The funds raised by Third World Grace in 2001, helped a young woman named Karen attend the University of Nicaragua. Cape Henry Collegiate School Interact Club students understand that they are privileged to live and learn in the United States, but more importantly, they understand their responsibility to mentor and care for those less fortunate.
The Brooks Family Spirit Store has officially moved to Everett Hall, room 11, across from the Development Conference Room. The store is open from 8:00 A.M. until 4:00 P.M. every school day.

Interact is an international organization of service and social clubs for young people of secondary school age that fosters leadership and responsible citizenship and promotes international understanding and peace.The name was created by combining the words “international” and “action,” and the clubs are sponsored by Rotary clubs as a program of Rotary International. Rotary clubs provide guidance and inspiration, but the Interact clubs are self-governing and self-supporting. Each year, Interact clubs complete at least one community service project and at least one project that furthers international understanding and goodwill. Through their service activities, Interactors learn the importance of developing leadership skills and personal integrity, demonstrating helpfulness and respect for others, understanding the value of individual responsibility and hard work, and advancing international understanding and goodwill. Today there are more than 7,780 Interact clubs in 107 countries and geographical areas, making Interact a truly worldwide phenomenon.

Dear Alumni, We want to keep you apprised of the changes on our campus that affect you. Sally Elstrodt, your previous Alumni Director, has had her role as Director of Special Events expanded. For that reason I have been appointed the new Director of Alumni Affairs. I am delighted. My connection to Cape Henry Collegiate School began in 1983, when I enrolled Heather Price ’93 in the third grade. In 1988 and 1989 I taught in the Middle School, moving into the Lower School library for two years and then became part of Development in 1991. Many of you knew me as Mrs. Price, but in September of this year I married William S. Braithwaite II. Now I am the wife of an Everett School Alumnus, mother of an Alumna ’93, stepmother of an Alumnus ’86, and sister-in-law of an Alumnus ’78. All of this makes me feel very connected, and I look forward to working with all of you. With warmest regards, Sheila Braithwaite E V E R E T T

Thursday, April 12, 1990 marked the beginning of Cape Henry’s Homecoming tradition. Being a young institution, Homecoming has never been a part of the school’s annual activities.
