FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL

Dear Friends, This summer, I attended an opening that featured Mi’kmaw art. Next to several beautiful depictions of the land was a plaque that read, “Netukimliml is a Mi’kmaw concept that describes the use of natural bounty of land for selfsustainment, and the responsibility of maintaining the balance, well-being and mutual respect between people, plants, animals, and the environment. In this way, Mi’kmaw communities have traditionally been stewards of the land rather than owners.”

I shared these words with our faculty during our opening days celebration in late August, as I believe Fountain Valley’s faculty and administration to be stewards of our incredible School on the Prairie.

There are no owners of our land or of our School. We are all simply passing through with “the responsibility of maintaining balance, well-being, and mutual respect between people, plants, animals and the environment.” It is an enormous responsibility as evidenced by the individuals before us who carved out our successes. Together they planted trees, dug the foundation for the Chapel, founded the Class of 1969 Mountain Campus, and created, nurtured, and supported this community on so many levels. It is now the responsibility of those of us in the present to continue working steadfastly, honor their contributions and lead our School into the future.

It is without coincidence that this year’s Annual Fund campaign, “Windows of the West: Opening Pathways to Success,” and the theme of this issue of the Bulletin, “The Western Experience is in the School’s Founding DNA,” both center around FVS’s deep connection to the West. I am struck by how unique and powerful Fountain Valley is and how much of that power and uniqueness derives from our location and sense of place.

We must continue to find ways to be the best stewards we can of our land and look for meaningful ways to embrace the opportunities it has to offer. This is where our restructured ninth-grade curriculum comes into play, which you can read about on pp. 4-7. We are thrilled to offer our youngest students a 1,100-acre classroom that will propel and distinguish their learning, helping them know and understand our location, our history, and our strengths as a community. It is upon us all, in a sense, to be stewards of this incredible environment in Colorado.

I look forward to partnering with each of you this year and in the future to help Fountain Valley be the best version of itself.

Sincerely,

Megan Harlan Head of School

NEW CURRICULAR GOALS EMBRACE SCHOOL’S

by Head of School Megan Harlan While imagining a curriculum for FVS that would build upon the School’s excellence in teaching and inspiring landscape, I frequently sat watching a pair of eagles that visited a tree in my backyard. I wondered why, each time I sat with a piece of paper to write my thoughts, it seemed as though the eagles would appear. Then, I searched, “What does it mean when an eagle appears?” and found a description on “Eagle Symbolism” by Trish Phillips, which read:

“ When an eagle appears, you are on notice to be courageous and stretch your limits.

Do not accept the status quo, but rather reach higher and become more than you believe you are capable of. Look at things from a new, higher perspective. Be patient with the present; know that the future holds possibilities you may not yet be able to see.

You are about to take flight.”

4

Fountain Valley School

This description served as my inspiration as I drafted a curricular program aimed at better meeting the needs of our students; one that would provide them with the skills to handle the demands of the future and teach them how to communicate effectively, think creatively, and understand the complex world around them. Inspired by the eagles in my yard, I want to stretch our students’ limits while helping them discover that wonderful possibilities await.

B u l l e t i n

I have been particularly inspired and thrilled by two aspects of my own Fountain Valley experience: our talented teachers and the striking landscape. Each morning, I awake and walk my dogs on the western loop of the Prairie, where a snow-capped Pikes Peak glistens with a pink and yellow hue from the reflection of the rising sun. It is an incredible way to start my day and serves as a constant reminder to not only embrace the beauty around me but also to dream about the possibilities a school that exists within such beautiful surroundings can have.

FOUNTAIN VALLEY SCHOOL IS AND WILL REMAIN A PLACE WHERE:

“ My overall arching vision

We cultivate the qualities of selfreliance, resilience, courage and integrity native to the West.

is to build upon our School’s rich history, unique setting, and place in society. And it is my hope that this vision will populate the world with students who are ready to lead.”

We stand as a richly varied yet closeknit community.

We pursue academic challenges that push our knowledge and understanding of the world.

We live in a natural environment and accept our role as stewards of that environment.

We believe in honest inquiry, open debate and mutual understanding.

We render public service.

We welcome new academic disciplines and technologies.

We learn hands-on in the real world, as well as in the classroom.

We experiment, experience, take risks and grow.

We are a community of scholars, athletes, artists, scientists, colleagues and friends.

We forge strong bonds with each other and nurture them for life.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE

Over the next four years, we will be implementing this new curriculum, with the ninth-grade Class of 2027 being the first to experience a year we’ve titled “The West.” In addition to choosing from a variety of world languages and levels, freshmen will encounter several curricular enhancements to round out their first-year experience at FVS.

TWELFTH GRADE

Capstone

ELEVENTH GRADE

Incoming ninth graders will be fully immersed in FVS’s stunning surroundings while participating in an ecology/environmental science course designed to bring them outdoors and engage them in hands-on learning opportunities on the Prairie, at our Mountain Campus, and across local rivers and the surrounding mountains. The end goal: to build a foundation for advanced science classes, deepen students’ relationship with the Rocky Mountain landscape, and teach them to tackle global issues surrounding sustainability, water rights, and soil erosion, as well as general ecological concepts.

Learning to Lead

ENGLISH TENTH GRADE

Global Societies

NINTH GRADE

The West

I have spent much time working with our academic programming team to craft a new curriculum that reflects this vision. It has been rewarding to work with such a passionate group of educators and, together, we are framing a skills-based curriculum that recognizes what is unique and best about Fountain Valley School, takes full advantage of our resources and talents, and energizes a new generation to address the challenges of the world they will inherit. Through this unique program, students will acquire the advanced skills required to expertly address the needs of the future–whether that be the environment, the challenges faced in a global society, the leadership skills to make a difference, or the independence, creativity, and initiative to succeed.

6

Our ninth-grade English program will include texts written by and about Western and indigenous authors, such as Katie Hickman’s “Brave Hearted: The Women of the American West,” all the while building foundations in writing, analytical reading, and creative analysis.

HISTORY Students will delve deeply into the history of the State of Colorado and the greater West, using a wide range of perspectives and cross-collaboration with FVS’s English and Science Departments to explore how the Western landscape has shaped the people, history, and culture of our region.

Fountain Valley School

ARTS

MOVING UP

As young artists are encouraged to push the limits of their creativity and problem-solving capabilities, opportunities in the arts will embrace nature and explore performances focused on the West.

Eventually, in their sophomore year, students will progress to an academic curriculum that’s focused on global societies. Our History Department will teach world history while collaborating with our English Department to assign readings that advance students’ skills in writing, critical analysis, and communication and reflect works by authors spanning the globe. Math and science will be based on placement and choice, continuing to build on aspects of the environment and delving deeper into global issues. Meanwhile, our World Languages Department will not only develop students’ language skills but also provide a deeper understanding of various cultures around the globe. The 10th-grade curriculum will culminate in an Interim experience, with the aim of encouraging all sophomores to travel abroad to immerse in new customs and cultures and hone their foreign language skills.

MATHEMATICS Ninth-grade math offerings will continue to be based on placement; however, the Department is excited to employ several new aspects of mathematics that exist in nature.

Problem sets will challenge students to explore sustainability and potential issues presented by the changing environment of the West.

INTERIM FVS’s signature Interim program has been a defining experience for the past 50 years and, moving forward, the ninth-grade Interim will focus on the West. Students will have the opportunity to ride one of FVS’s 70 horses on our 1,100-acre Prairie in order to learn what it takes to be a school on a working Ranch, give climbing a try, ride a mountain bike on our miles of trails, and explore the area around our beloved Mountain Campus, whether by fly fishing in the Arkansas River, hiking Mt. Princeton, or examining the flora and fauna found at elevation.

B u l l e t i n

The 11th-grade year will focus on leadership, as students embrace this transformational time in their adolescence; a time when they begin to think of themselves beyond high school and complete some of the more traditional courses required for college admission. At this juncture, most of our juniors will be studying U.S. history and reflecting upon how they will apply their education toward making a difference in their future communities.

It is our aim to help all juniors find agency and develop confidence in their own voice.

Finally, the senior year will be defined by our Capstone Project, which enables students to design a senior research project based on their own interests and discoveries. One additional area we are considering is a Center for Western Studies, wherein seniors could direct their Capstone Projects toward delving into Ranch management, indigenous cultural studies, mining, or any area that living on the Front Range has brought to their mind.

I am excited for the future of learning at Fountain Valley School as we look to move beyond the status quo, reach higher, and become more than we’d ever dreamt.

In the years to come, our community will grow, and new buildings will grace our campus, however, what makes Fountain Valley School of Colorado unique will endure. This can never be changed.

Fountain Valley School

“ ...so the School’s rich past can remain a part of the present.”

Gloriously fascinating—and embodying 93 years of history—Fountain Valley School’s archives are a vibrant compendium of written word, art, photography, videos, Dane student newspapers, Bulletin magazines, student files, vintage athletic gear, and many other categories of compelling ephemera.

Those who access the FVS archives for research and information purposes will attest that one must demonstrate great restraint and discipline, as the temptation to become engrossed can be quite intense! Not to mention the vast content therein and, until recently, general state of disarray.

For the first time, an individual has formally dedicated his time, passion and institutional knowledge to the project. Former Faculty and Class of 1971 Alumnus John “Jake” Emery Jr. has taken on the immense task of organizing, cataloging and digitizing the vast FVS archives—a labor of love for the School he loves.

John “Jake” Emery Jr. ’71 taught at FVS for 30 years, wearing many hats beyond his iconic straw cowboy hat until his retirement in 2019: history teacher and department chair, dean of faculty, Interim co-director and tennis coach, along with many other “duties as assigned.” As a student, he served as school president and was presented with The Froelicher Award—Fountain Valley’s highest honor—at Commencement.

Fittingly, the Emery family’s roots run deep in the School’s history and archives. Both Jake’s father, John W. Emery ’44, and uncle, Chuck Emery ’38, attended the School as well, with Chuck returning as a renowned faculty member, teaching English and philosophy for 29 years.

What have been your favorite rabbit holes?

How did the archivist position come about?

I could see retirement was on the horizon and I was worried I wouldn’t be happy going “cold turkey” and not teaching. I was aware of the need for archiving and went to Will [Webb, former FVS head of school]. I pitched the idea, telling him it was important that the School make a commitment to the archives.

He was open and accepting, and he signed off on the deal. It’s a happy union of retirement and continuing to work for the School.

I’m heading into my fifth year as archivist.

A real eye-opener for me has been appreciating and gaining a much better understanding of the impressive history of the School’s art. [Former arts faculty] Jeff Brown put together a compilation of all the different artists and architects who have worked at Fountain Valley; that was a starting point for me. To find a whole new stack of [founding arts faculty and renowned artist] Boardman “Mike” Robinson’s work; as we speak, I’m working on sorting that out and getting it protected. As I’ve dug into other rabbit holes, I’ve found a lot more of [famed photographer] Laura Gilpin’s photos, so we have increased our Gilpin collection. Another fun rabbit hole has been archiving the work of photographer Myron Wood whom I knew, and he did a lot of photography for the School between 1965 and 1975. I’ve enjoyed this because of my interest in photography, and I have created a Myron Wood collection.

In what condition did you find the archives?

They were something of a mess. There were just piles all over the place, and the more I got into looking into different piles, [the more] I discovered there were even more unidentifiable piles. I was happy I had decided to take it on even though I [became] quickly overwhelmed. I realized that, in truth, it could easily be a full-time job. We’ve never had an official archivist [on the books], although individuals have made contributions. Betty Smith—[founding Headmaster] Francis Froelicher’s daughter, who served in the early years as the headmaster’s secretary and as an assistant in the Development Office—did the archiving between 1930 and 1975. In the early 1990s, when former Director of External Affairs David Lavender started working on the School’s history book, his wife Val did some good archiving around alumni weekends and functions. People such as [former Director of Annual Giving & Alumni Relations from 1994-09] Clara Duff P ’06, ’08 continued to maintain good alumni files. Finally, Bob Parker, former history faculty, remained a long-time friend of the School and worked in archives for about five years before his death in 2016. I find lots of his notes with little scribblings.

What have you most enjoyed about the job?

Being the researcher that I am and knowing the School the way I do, there are days that it’s almost like Christmas. It’s really fun to find something and think, “This makes sense,” or “I didn’t know this about that.” The surprise of discovery has been really fun. One thing that started slowly but has gained steam over the last couple of years is seeing the archives used and applied. A good example is the creation of Throwback Thursday, [a posting on Instagram and Facebook featuring archival photos]. I worked hand in hand with the Office of Communications, and there was good feedback. Getting the archives to be used has been one of my primary goals, and it has gained momentum.

10

Can you speak to the digital aspect of your archiving?

I understand the great importance of creating a digital archive, and with the help of Librarian Sarah Bogard and Spanish Teacher Alexis “Zoe” (Schmidt) Phillips ’04, along with the Office of Communications, I have learned to build one.

Have you uncovered any surprises?

I’ve become more knowledgeable about periods in the School’s history. It’s been fun to look at the different heads of school and identify trends [during each era]. For example, [FVS’s second headmaster], Henry Poor P ’61, was very interested in religion, and the construction of the Chapel began in his tenure. You can really see how much building took place in the Lewis Perry Jr. era [from 1958–78]; the Chapel was finished, the pool was built, and the library, academic and administration buildings were constructed. In the John “Jack” Creeden P ’03, ’06 era [from 1995–07], he formed the Western Curriculum Committee. The essential charge was to look at the curriculum with an eye toward recognizing that we’re a Western School and capitalizing on that; spurring ways to define our curriculum. I ran the committee Fountain Valley School

and it was a great growth opportunity for me in that period of my life. The Western Immersion Program (WIP) was an outgrowth of this. Not a surprise, but a fun factor has been becoming good at looking at different photos of campus and being able to identify the approximate year by sight. For example, if I look at a photo from the 1930s, the first thing I’ll do is look for the Dwight Perry House, which was built in 1938. So, if there’s no Perry House, the photo is pre-1938. Any photo with the duck pond is 1965 or earlier. The front road was paved in 1967, meaning any photos of a dirt road are prior to 1967.

What have been the biggest challenges?

to centralize, coordinate and preserve the archival materials in one location. Currently, they are scattered throughout several places across campus. I would also like to engage students as archive interns, perhaps as [part of] their Capstone projects. For example, I have two big boxes of archival Western riding and gymkhana ephemera that I just don’t have time to get to.

What is your advice for the next archivist and for maintaining the archives?

Learn the collection, stay on top of it, and find multiple ways to continue to engage with the community, so the School’s rich past can remain a part of the present.

We could really use an archive conservation/preservation fund.

We need resources to be able to clean and preserve the art we have and to create signage for important pieces, which describe the works and inform viewers of the history and provenance of the pieces.

Dreaming big, what is your vision and what are your hopes for the FVS archives?

The creation of a conservation fund is a big part of the dream. And, it’s really important for the School to continue to have an archivist who is a member of the community. I’ve seen models where there is a part-time archivist who is also a part-time history teacher.

When I really dream big, I see dedicated spaces for our art and history. A small art museum would be wonderful. I would also like

Final question, because inquiring minds want to know: Why did you shave your mustache?

I knew I was going through a life change heading into retirement, and I hadn’t shaved my mustache in 40 years.

It was symbolic of a new era in my life.

CONNECTIONS WITH THE LANDSCAPE UNDERSCORE THE FVS EXPERIENCE Since 1930, Fountain Valley School has embraced opportunities presented by its inspiring landscape. This decades-spanning scrapbook celebrates the School’s strong ties to the West and commitment to providing outdoor education.

When Fountain Valley’s founding Headmaster Francis Froelicher came to Colorado as a lifelong Easterner in 1930, he embraced the Rocky Mountains for their intrinsic potential as key to the academic curriculum he envisioned. “ M r. Froelicher has confidence in the School’s future.

Experience has now shown the value of locating the School in the West: it liberalizes the boy’s point of view by giving him contact with the Western tradition… it introduces boys to the Rocky Mountain country, a playground to revisit all [their lives,]…the climate is so favorable to growing boys that it enables the School to maintain exceptionally good health records…the unique beauty of the mountain country has an indirect but fine influence.”

Spri in Colorado

In his 20 years as headmaster, he incorporated the surrounding majestic and rugged landscape into Fountain Valley’s programming, making Pack Trips, climbing, fishing, horseback riding, outdoor education, the Ranch program, and field trips an integral part of the Fountain Valley experience.

PACK TRIPS & HORSEMANSHIP IN THE ROCKIES

Riding in remote Rocky Mountain areas on horseback is one of the School’s oldest and most treasured traditions.

“ In wilderness surroundings, everything is reduced to essentials, especially in behavior and expression.

There is no place for pretense or sham. Each boy is very much on his own and in profile.”

— Riding Master Deck Cheney

On these adventures, riders connect with nature, take in the stunning surroundings, and bond with their horse and one another.

The trips require discipline and teamwork: packing thoroughly and sparingly, caring for horses and fellow riders, building and breaking down camp, cooking by campfire, and adapting to challenges and changing conditions.

Fountain Valley pack trips build character and horsemanship while generating lifelong memories.

THEN & NOW: WORK STUDY ON THE FVS RANCH

Fountain Valley’s first work crew was born out of necessity in 1943 when World War II meant ranch workers were scarce. Students pitched in to maintain the Ranch and campus. In 1953, F VS’s second Headmaster Henry Poor P ’61 resurrected the work crew program as a voluntary activity and alternative to meeting the School’s athletic requirement.

Ranch Manager Ed Bryant, much admired by the boys, rounded up 12 to 20 helpers each season for work that included building and repairing fences, harvesting hay and corn, trimming trees, tending to sheep and cattle, and digging ditches.

16

Fountain Valley School

“ The Work Program has been this year, whether people realize [it] or not, a real step in the right direction. It has required boys to work who have never done much, if any, hard outdoor labor in their lives, and who have been brought up with the idea that it was not their duty to serve but their right to be served.

It has taught them, moreover, that there is nothing degrading in doing socalled menial tasks. It has made them feel the pleasure and satisfaction of contributing, of doing something, in a small way, for the good of the whole.”

— Bulletin, June 1942

DIRTY WORK APPRECIATED Why would someone wish to take on this job? There are a number of reasons including lack of interest in team sports, the three-day workweek, a wish to work with the School horses, and a desire to build things. So far this year, the work crew has built an earthen ramp and a cow pen. They have cleared the stable area of brush, put up the soccer nets, painted the corral, surveyed a field, and tackled a number of other projects…The Dane thanks these people for doing this necessary but unappealing job.

— The Dane, 1975

While a formal student work crew no longer exists on campus, current Head of School Megan Harlan envisions the creation of a Center for Western Studies, wherein seniors could direct their Capstone Projects toward delving into Ranch management, indigenous cultural studies, or mining.

17

OUTDOOR EDUCATION TESTS LIMITS & EXPANDS HORIZONS In 1976, former Headmaster Eric S. Waples P ’ 91, ’ 93 93, then a faculty member, initiated an outdoor education program composed of rock climbing, wilderness survival training, winter camping, and cross-country skiing.

Former science faculty F. M . Brown wrote in the 1977 Bulletin, “The outdoor program formalizes what we have done informally for more than 45 years.”

Waples’ longstanding interest in outdoor-ed had maintained its strength and, when former science faculty Rob Gustke P ’16, ’18 eventually took leadership of the program under his own vision, 50 students signed up each season to test their mettle and gain lifelong wilderness skills. Newly appointed Director of Experiential Programs Sam Harrison (see right) has ambitious plans for expanding the outdoor-ed program, making it more inclusive and accessible, and extending trip durations.

“ Linking telemark turns in the powder bowls above Second Creek; topping out after five pitches of continuous ice-climbing on Hoosier Falls; wearily working up a corniced ridge on 14,000-ft. Mt. Yale; effortlessly gliding along the groomed crosscountry ski tracks of Breckenridge; and crawling into a snow cave after a warm and filling meal of quesadillas, tuna casserole, and hot lemonade to sleep through a long and cold night deep in Rocky Mountain Park–these are some of the places you might find members of the Winter Outdoor Education program.”

— The Dane, 1985

Fountain Valley School

“ Those students who have helped build the Mountain Campus have contributed something real as well as opted to leave a part of themselves there. A student’s work gloves still remain nailed to the ceiling as a symbol of his commitment, pride, and vision for the future.”

JOHN RAUSHENBUSH P ’80: A PIVOTAL PIONEER OF EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING Fountain Valley offers students and faculty memorable and profound educational experiences. And John Raushenbush P ’80 was a rare individual who inspired the enduring, institutional change that continues to distinguish FVS to this day.

— Bulletin, 1983

Raushenbush (read more on p. 60) was a progressive, visionary educator and intellectual leader who brought experiential education to the forefront at Fountain Valley School. He taught English from 1959-67, taking a brief two-year break in the early ’60s to attend graduate school. From 1967-74, Raushenbush served as academic dean, and from 1974-77 as associate headmaster.

In 1973, the Raushenbush Plan was put into practice, extending class times from 50 minutes to up to three hours in length.

Most faculty found this block system freeing, as it allowed them to delve deeper into subjects while generating greater intellectual curiosity in their students. Hand-in-hand with the Raushenbush Plan, Interim week was instituted that same year, “based on the premise that FVS has an obligation to give students the opportunity to enlarge one’s life experience, find oneself more interesting and gain a greater sense of one’s own resourcefulness,” Raushenbush said.

Fifty years later, Interim remains a core component of the FVS curriculum. Raushenbush is also considered by many to be the “Father of the Class of ’69 Mountain Campus,” which is central to the unique experiences offered at FVS. He scouted the Arkansas Valley, found the 40-acre parcel at the foot of Mt. Princeton and, in 1972, convinced Headmaster Lewis Perry Jr. and the Board of Trustees to purchase the land.

“ When I asked Brennan what he thought about the Mountain Campus, he said it is ‘a place to strengthen foundations not only with peers but faculty as well.’ I think that is why students value the Mountain Campus–the friendships they create, the freedom they are given, and the trust they earn.”

NURTURING STUDENTS’ PASSIONS & INTERESTS

In 1970, former faculty Chuck Emery ’38 initiated the Intensive Study Program (ISP) at F VS. “Simply, I wanted to give sixth formers a chance to decide for themselves what they deeply enjoyed doing and then a chance to do it through the eight-week spring term.”

Since the ’70s, FVS seniors–with support from faculty, alumni, or a community mentor–have taken independent dives into topics of interest to them, and the range of projects has been fascinating. Scholarly pursuits have included studying rocket technology, classical music composition, and general surgery. Alix Hinnegan ’10 restored her vintage car, while Clare Hamilton ’15 apprenticed with William “Tim” Boddington ’68, P ’06 to build furniture. And Isabella “Izzy” Nuñez ’17 created a food rescue program, inspiring her to pursue a career as adult education and volunteer manager for Food to Power in Colorado Springs. (read more on p. 56) Today, all seniors either complete a Capstone project or fulfill the requirements of FVS’s Global Scholar Diploma program. “The self-awareness and opportunities for discovery have an entrepreneurial spirit that excites our seniors,” says science faculty and Capstone Director Danielle Llewelyn.

24

Fountain Valley School

Peru, 1974 “Intensive” was the keyword, as evidenced by one ISP in 1974, during which Philip “Cam” Powers ’63 took three boys to Peru for six weeks of trekking and cultural immersion.

Observations of the trip appeared in the 1974 Bulletin: “Although we did pass briefly through the Inca ruins for which Peru is famous, most of the time was spent in remote mountain villages where old Inca ways have persisted…

John, Tom, and Barker became the third, fourth, and fifth non-Indians to ever stay in that village…My compadre’s wife had Barker and one of the Indians clean sheep’s intestines, which she then fried with the sheep’s blood and some onion. We found it a tasty lunch dish!... We got ourselves dumped off at the end of a road at the top of a 16,000-ft. pass, and from then on for the next three weeks we were on foot…I remember watching the students grow through an increasing awareness of the people by whom they suddenly found themselves surrounded.”

“ I was interested in pursuing a career in the arts after graduation.

To explore that interest, I designed a Senior ISP with two parts.

The first was that I auditioned for and was cast in a production of the Jungal Book (yes, that is an intentional misspelling to avoid copyright law) at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center. The second was acting as a backstage ‘producer’ for a dance production that the FVS dance teacher connected me with. I had multiple roles in the Jungal Book as both a wolf and a monkey. I had to have a plaster cast made of my head for the custom masks made for production.”

OF INTERIM

Since its inception in 1973, Interim has embraced the philosophy that students will thrive when given opportunities to expand their geographical, intellectual, cultural, and social horizons beyond the classroom. Students immerse themselves in experiential journeys that capitalize upon the diverse talents and interests of the F VS faculty. Experiences gained and friendships forged on Interim provide many of the richest memories students carry from Fountain Valley.

The Creeden Fund Helps Make Interim Trips More Equitable for Students When John “Jack” E. Creeden P ’03, ’06 retired from his role as FVS headmaster in 2007, the Board of Trustees surprised him with The Creeden Fund as a parting gift. This initial endowment of $350,000 serves in perpetuity toward awarding Interim scholarships to Fountain Valley students. It is a cause near and dear to Dr. Creeden and his wife, Dr. Carole Martin’s P ’03, ’06, hearts. “Carole and I have always been big on experiential education, and we knew that the cost to enroll at Fountain Valley and the cost to participate fully are two different things,” he says.

“Not everybody can go on certain Interims. We are grateful for this gift.”

A goal of current Head of School Megan Harlan is to build upon the Creeden Fund to fully and equitably endow all Interim trips.

he first Interim Week in 1973, organized by T then math faculty Marshall Severance, was an overall success, with 87 percent approval from students. Severance reflected,

“ I say let’s do it again. Let’s have exposure in hours and days instead of minutes.

Let’s see things outside our campus and our classrooms.”

“ In the fall of 1977, when I was a ninth grader, I stayed on campus for Interim Week and took Mr. Munger’s musical theater class. Throughout the week, we learned different songs from various musicals, and we memorized the song ‘We Go Together,’ from the musical Grease. There’s a long riff in the middle of the song and each day we practiced and memorized an additional line, and by the end of the week we had it perfected. To this day I can sing this riff, and whenever I hear it I am grateful for that week on campus, singing my heart out, and proving to myself that learning is really fun. Thank you FVS!” — Sue Porter ’81

“ The Mountain Biking Interim (2002) was led by Mr. Warner and Ms. Carson. We stayed in Moab, in a complex with three different houses and a hot tub (a thoroughly necessary amenity after days and days of mountain biking). Ms. Carson and Mr. Warner didn’t go easy on us, and it was spring so there were some stream crossings and lots of mud involved. Now, 20 years later, I go to Moab at least once a year to mountain bike. I have a better bike, actual bike shorts (which would’ve been great on that Interim), and I don’t usually end up on slick rock anymore.”

“ Mountain biking was tougher than many of us anticipated, and we had some adventures.”

Baja, Calif. – 1989 “ [Former science faculty] Brad Boyden ’69 had always led this trip and claimed to have never gotten very close to the whales. We saw some do some spy hops about 40-50 yards away, and one day, a mother and baby came up and put their heads up onto the boats, allowing us to lean over and kiss them and put our hands on them as they swam right next to the boats.

My friend, Colin Duchin ’89, got in the water with them! The best part was watching the most passionate whale watcher I’ve ever met flip his lid as Mr. Boyden was absolutely beside himself with happiness. That enthusiasm was magical.”

Primitive Survival, Comb Wash, Utah – 1974 “ This was perhaps the most educational of any of the outdoor programs I led at Fountain Valley. We dug for water, used the primitive bow-drill method for making fires, made figure-four traps to catch pack rats (which taste like chicken), learned flintknapping to craft knives and spearheads, made and learned to use atlatl and hefted-stone axes.”

Southwest – 1974 “ That journey with my Fountain Valley classmates was to instill a lifelong love and fascination with the Southwest. I have returned many times since and made many friends. Consider it corny, but if I had not made that trip [during] my final year at Fountain Valley, I would not have won a Nikon photography contest for a picture I took at Taos Pueblo, or met the Hopi man–retired from MGM–who shined a spotlight on Judy Garland when she sang ‘Over the Rainbow.’ The famous opera director Peter Sellars once told me that as human beings, we are indelibly affected by, and even created by, the people we meet in life. We are the sum of everybody we have met in the past…and everybody we have not yet met.”

AWARDS Athletic Awards Varsity Awards are presented annually to the male and female student-athletes who, in the judgment of their coaches, have shown outstanding accomplishment in all-around athletic performance.

Female Varsity Award recipient Natalie Haase has had a robust athletic career at FVS, participating in cross country, soccer, volleyball, and climbing throughout her time as a Dane. “There is no doubt you’ve seen her heart, desire, and commitment to all the athletic teams she has played on at FVS,” said Natalie’s soccer coach. Male Varsity Award recipient Chase Wallace is an equally admirable ambassador and accomplished athlete whose soccer, tennis, basketball, and swimming coaches have described him as an athlete with relentless energy and boundless ambition; someone who is passionate, driven to excel, and leads by example.

The Riding Director’s Award is given to the student who has shown the most all-around interest, enthusiasm, and skill development within the FVS Riding Program. Throughout her high school career, Lilly Farley has been a bedrock member of the riding team, serving as IEA co-captain in 2021-22 and horseman—the program’s most historic and respected leadership position—in 2022-23. Her other accomplishments include qualifying for IEA Nationals and 36

finishing fourth in the nation in 2022 and receiving the 2023 IEA Zone 8 Senior Scholarship.

The Top Horseman Award recognizes a senior who demonstrates the desire to be a lifelong student of horsemanship and the willingness to utilize every possible opportunity to advance their understanding and knowledge of the equine world.

The 2023 honoree, Maya Farley, served as IEA co-captain for two years, both leading her team to multiple show championships and winning numerous championships via the Colorado Hunter Jumper Association, including the Medal Finals Horsemanship Test in 2022.

The Don Kardok Coach’s Award is given by the Varsity Club to a coach who exemplifies unwavering optimism and dedication to teaching, guiding, and encouraging athletes. Like Coach Kardok this year’s honoree, Ken Byrd, is enthusiastic, often seen cheering student-athletes on from the sidelines when not attending his own teams’ games. Ken is hard-working beyond the call of duty and loved by athletes and coaches.

I n true FVS fashion, the Class of 2023 preceded its Baccalaureate and Commencement Exercises with a weeklong immersion in Senior Seminar on the Class of ’69 Mountain Campus.

he Class of 2023 concluded Senior Seminar T with a candlelight ceremony on Wednesday, May 25, signifying the close of their final chapter as students at FVS and the eternal relationships they’ve forged with others over the past four years.

ach year, seniors conclude their FVS journey E with a selfless act of service to the greater community. This year, they worked with the town of Buena Vista to rake, weed, and landscape, lay bricks for an outdoor stage, and set poles across three separate parks.

On the second day, they maintained the Buena Vista Rodeo Grounds by filling gopher holes, hauling away tumbleweeds, scraping off old paint, and repainting grandstands.

Commencement ’23 Class of 2023 Breaks the Mold

“ You’ve acquired the kind of confidence and strength that only comes from the experience of meeting great challenges and rising above.”

— Theresa Sheh ’88, Board President

38

Fountain Valley School

The FVS family gathered on May 27 for the School’s 93rd Commencement Exercises celebrating the graduating Class of 2023.

FVS’s ninth Head of School Megan Harlan began the ceremony by extending sincere gratitude to the faculty, staff, alumni, families, and friends of FVS whose sum total of individuals “come together to make a difference in the lives of our students.”

In her address, one of these individuals— Board President Theresa Sheh ’88— spoke of her own time as a student at Fountain Valley School and the impact this experience has had on her life. “Fountain Valley gave me—and I hope it has given you—the courage to challenge yourself and pursue your dreams,” said Sheh.

“You’ve acquired the kind of confidence and strength that only comes from the experience of meeting great challenges and rising above.”

A true testament to the courageousness exhibited by all 58 members of the graduating class, student-elected speakers Ava Warner ’23 and Malachi Miller ’23 noted, “We are not a class defined by anything; we are a defining class with so many individual and diverse experiences.” They added, “We hope you all continue to succeed, cherish, and define your lives as forces for good in the world. Keep being the wind, defining and carving your path, and may it always guide you and fill your sails.”

Prior to the presentation of faculty and student awards, attendees heard from FVS’s keynote speaker—Chief Executive Officer for the National Geographic Society Jill Tiefenthaler P ’16, ’19—whose professional career includes nine years as president of Colorado College and four years as provost for Wake Forest University. The first award—created by former Trustee Kit Bedford P ’89, GP ’16, and her husband, Peter Bedford P ’89, GP ’16, in honor of the former’s father, J. Philo Nelson—recognizes the highest levels of teaching commitment among Fountain Valley School faculty.

FVS’s 2023 J. Philo Nelson Award recipient, Global Studies Faculty Simon Walker, eloquently contributes to all areas of school life, serving as a dorm director, coaching the boys’ club and varsity soccer programs all three seasons during the 2022-23 school year, and acting as an administrator for the Round Square international exchange program. In the classroom, Walker “keeps [students] on their toes through a variety of activities, prompts, and scenarios, effectively mixing foundational academic skills with multimedia and contemporary journalism,” said Harlan.

Next up, Harlan recognized four students, Yicheng “Tony” Teng, Jessica Prantl, Natalie Haase, and Aniela Meyer, for going above and beyond the requirements of the traditional FVS curriculum to earn Global Scholar Diplomas. The following seniors also received departmental awards recognizing academic, artistic, and athletic excellence:

Langdon Mathematics Award Jiale “Leo” Yang

F. Martin Brown Science Award Emma “Claire” Brown

Campbell English Award Chase Wallace

Languages Award Malachi Miller

Penrose History Award Natalie Haase

Hunter Frost Drama Award Audrey Kline

Robinson Art Award Zia “Denise” Oellig

Henry “Heb” L. Newman Award (Athletics) Ava Warner

39

Afterward, several students received FVS’s top honors—the Emery and Froelicher Awards as decided upon by the full faculty, and the Bunting Award given annually at the discretion of the head of school. They were: Malachi Miller (Sidney S. Bunting Award); Natalie Haase (Eleanor W. Emery Award); and Anali Muciño (Froelicher Award).

(See p. 42.)

This year, FVS also introduced the newly created Cyrus R. Lewis Award, named in honor of Cyrus Lewis ’23 to recognize the student who best exemplifies uncommon courage and perseverance in meeting challenges and overcoming adversity.

“Over the last year, Cyrus—[the survivor of a life-changing ski accident]—has faced every challenge as it has arisen and hasn’t missed a beat. Cyrus, for your uncommon courage and perseverance in overcoming the adversity so unexpectedly set before you these past two years, I am humbled and proud to present you with the inaugural Cyrus R. Lewis Award,” Harlan said.

Following the conferral of diplomas, Harlan concluded FVS’s Commencement Exercises with a charge to the graduating class:

“ You have the tools to create your own stories,” she said. “ While I know you will have many good times ahead, I also know that there will be times when you will doubt yourself or wonder about your place in the world. Like those before me, I believe that there is indeed power in this Prairie and the mountains beyond us, and I hope you will come back and visit often; to be replenished, to find peace, or to just be.”

Sidney S. Bunting Award

Eleanor W. Emery Award

Francis M. Froelicher Award

In memory of former faculty Sidney S. Bunting, the Bunting Award is bestowed upon that student who embodies the qualities Bunting most admired: scholarship, intellect, and culture. Fun, energetic, witty, and dedicated to the life of the mind, Malachi Miller has made an incredible impact throughout his time on the Prairie. As Community Council vice president, he has proven himself an emotionally intelligent leader who engages with all groups across campus and whose presence spans all social circles. As a member of the honor council, Malachi also takes a calm, rational, wise approach to the questions he asks and the resolutions he recommends. He exudes warmth and kindness and sets those around him at ease, usually through his incredible sense of humor. He has a remarkable ability to inspire laughter in even the most seemingly mundane situations. As a scholar, Malachi is a brilliant student who grasps new concepts with ease and actively seeks to engage in alternative educational experiences, all driven by an insatiable curiosity. A fearless risk-taker, and a positive, collaborative, and adaptable individual, Malachi has thoroughly impressed others with his leadership, charisma, and incredible contributions in all areas of school life.

The Eleanor W. Emery Award is given to that student whose contributions to the FVS community reflect the qualities that former faculty Eleanor Emery admired most: educational commitment, integrity, sensitivity to the needs of others, warmth, good humor, and enthusiasm. Natalie Haase exemplifies these values in the core of her being and is someone who has boundless energy and is a natural leader. The first sophomore Resident Advisor in Fountain Valley history, Natalie demonstrated care for her residents and navigated difficult situations with tact and grace throughout the pandemic. Natalie follows through with her commitments, asks for clarity and the reasoning behind situations, manages competing priorities with a scientific mindset grounded in kindness and care, and tackles challenges to effect a positive outcome. She has dry, quick, intelligent, well-intentioned humor, high emotional intelligence, and a naturally encouraging demeanor. Natalie also has the ability to elevate the academic performance of those around her with the joy she brings to the classroom. Her teachers have remarked that they count on her to set the bar for her peers.

Created in honor of FVS’s founding Headmaster Francis M. Froelicher, this award is presented each year to that senior who, in the opinion of the faculty, best represents those qualities—such as remarkable talent, a diligent work ethic, and humble character—for which we would like the School to be known. The Francis M. Froelicher Award also celebrates exemplary character and actions that reflect the FVS core values of courage, compassion, curiosity, self-reliance, and open-mindedness.

pproximately 275 alumni, faculty, staff and friends gathered on campus for FVS’s annual Alumni Reunion Weekend festivities from June 1-4, to reminisce with friends and former classmates, and make new memories on the Prairie. This year’s Reunion Weekend paid special recognition to alumni from milestone classes ending in “3” and “8” and honored numerous alumni for their impact on both Fountain Valley and the greater community in their artistic, athletic and philanthropic endeavors.

Alumni Awards Athletic Hall of Fame Annie Goodwin ’08 passed away in a tragic horseback riding accident on July 14, 2021. While at FVS, Annie was a talented, multi-sport athlete, participating in volleyball, basketball, soccer and English Equestrian for the Danes. She was named Most Valuable Player as a sophomore member of the varsity girls’ volleyball team and, that same year, earned Black Forest All-Conference Honorable Mention on the varsity basketball court.

Beyond the Prairie, Annie built a remarkable life and career as an accomplished rider and trainer of English riding horses. After two years at Northern Arizona University, she dedicated herself to eventing. She bought the Dutch warmblood, Fedarman B, from the Netherlands and based herself in Aiken, S.C., where she worked for hunter-jumper rider Daniel Geitner prior to striking out on her own as a trainer. Annie brought Fedarman B to the 4-Star level to win numerous accolades during their time competing together. She had a group of promising young horses moving up the levels as well.

Trevor Shott ’13 played golf and ice hockey during his time at Fountain Valley. A two-time State qualifier on the golf course, he was the first Dane ever to advance to the State tournament for two consecutive years, earning him the FVS Most Valuable Player Award in 2012-13. Trevor finished his FVS ice hockey career all-time third in points, second in points per game, and first in goals after just two seasons. During the 2011-12 ice hockey season, he earned numerous accolades, including Gazette All-Area Player of the Year and All-Area First Team recognition, All-State Honorable Mention, All-Conference First Team in the Peak Conference, Fountain Valley’s Doc Romnes MVP Award, and High School Male Athlete of the Season. The following year, 48

Trevor once again received Gazette AllArea Player of the Year and All-Area First Team recognition, was named All-Conference First Team in the Peak Conference, and earned the Doc Romnes MVP Award. In addition, he was recognized as All-State First Team, presented with the FVS Varsity Award, and was named Denver Post Male Student-Athlete of the Week. Trevor took his ice hockey talents with him to the University of Oregon, where he was the all-time leading goal, assist, and point scorer, also earning multiple First Team, Second Team and Third Team All-Conference Awards playing for the Ducks.

Maia Presti ’13 concluded her high school athletics career with 11 varsity letters across a number of sports and was inducted into the FVS Varsity Club in her senior year. She was most known for her competitive swimming talents and was ultimately recognized as an All-American diver. As a Dane, she finished second, third and fifth in the state’s 4A Diving Championships, was named to the Gazette’s All-Area First and Second-Swimming and Diving Teams for three consecutive years, received FVS’s Swimming and Diving Coaches Award in the 2010-11 season followed by MVP in 2012-13, and served as team captain for the girls’ swimming and diving team during her sophomore, junior and senior years. Maia continued her diving career at Scripps College, where she competed for the Claremont Mudd Scripps (CMS) women’s swimming and diving team. Maia was a three-time SCIAC champion in the one-meter, earned the CMS Diver of the Year Award in 2015, 2017 and 2018, was named CMS Athlete of the Year in 2015, and earned Outstanding Scripps Senior Athlete as well as CMS Scholar-Athlete in 2018.

A three-time Western Region qualifier for the NCAA Division III National Diving Championships, Maia attended in 2015, 2017 and 2018, placing 13th, 11th and 20th, respectively. To date, she holds the one-meter dive records for CMS, Axelrod Pool, and the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC).

REUNION 2023

The Elizabeth Froelicher Smith Distinguished Service Award recognizes exceptional service to Fountain Valley and is awarded to that individual whose actions and deeds help FVS continue its rich heritage of educating talented young minds, and without whom FVS would not be what it is today.

Pleasant Rowland Frautschi—an educator, reporter, writer, entrepreneur and philanthropist, as well as one of the School’s most steadfast and ardent supporters—made connections to FVS through her husband, Jerry ’49. Thanks to the Frautschis’ generosity and love for our School, Fountain Valley has completed numerous significant campus enhancement projects over the past several decades, resulting in the Frautschi Campus Center, Howe Residence, and Hacienda and kitchen updates.

And, Pleasant’s contributions to FVS extend in untold ways as well. For example, the premise behind the Western Immersion Program came into being when Pleasant asked former Headmaster John “Jack” Creeden P ’03, ’06 what Fountain Valley was doing to help its students understand the School’s unique location and role in American history.

The Young Alumni Award is presented annually to outstanding young alumni who model the School’s core values of courage, self-reliance, open-mindedness, curiosity, and compassion by leading the way in their communities and achieving remarkable success in their profession, career, or vocation. This year’s recipient, Sophie Feffer ’13, has spent the past six years working to improve the health and safety of Coloradans who use drugs. After graduating with a degree in criminology from the University of Colorado, Sophie joined the Harm Reduction Action Center, writing grants, coordinating B u l l e t i n

partnerships between government and private organizations, providing mobile syringe exchange to unhoused communities in Denver, and educating businesses, legislators, law enforcement, and others on infectious disease and overdose prevention. Since then, Sophie has expanded her statewide influence and support to include any entity working with or providing services for drug users. For her ongoing, impactful work, she appeared as a speaker at the Colorado Opioid Abatement Conference in 2022.

Mary Lou Mullin P ’93 received an Honorary Degree in recognition of her decadeslong service to Fountain Valley and integral role in the School community. She was first introduced to FVS through her husband, Bill ’57 and later became an FVS parent and Trustee. Together with Bill, Mary Lou has supported several major fundraising initiatives and causes, including the Elizabeth Sage Hare Trustee Scholarship, COVID Resiliency Fund, Henry B. Poor Endowment, and the School’s 2016 Capital Campaign, which resulted in a new maintenance facility, faculty housing, campus infrastructure, and the Julie and Spencer Penrose Athletic Center. Mary Lou is also revered for her passion toward preserving and enhancing the beauty of the FVS campus, helping to found the preservation and restoration committee that safeguards the School’s buildings and grounds.

ROBERT M. WOOD ’53 Robert recently shared some of his accomplishments with the FVS Development Office. Academically, he has obtained the following degrees: D.V.M., D.T.V.M., Dr.P.H, and M.P.H.; has published a book containing 400 poems; and has taught for both The University of Oklahoma and Oklahoma State University. Robert—a Navy veteran who served from 1955 through 1963—boasts five grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.

In just one day, at age 75, he successfully completed the Grand Canyon’s rigorous R2R hike from rim to rim.

TOM POOR ’61 “Living the good life in Florida with plenty of tennis, pickleball, and water sports. Our oldest daughter, Samantha, is living and working in Mumbai, India, and was hoping to stage a wedding there in early 2024. However, the distance proved too big a drawback, and plans were moved to West Palm Beach; not exactly the least expensive. My donations to FVS will [surely] suffer.”

DAVID DORNAN ’55 David, now in his eighth year on the Teton County Board of Health, wrote about his experience with the Coronavirus: “In Teton County, Wyo., we had over 3 million visitors— even in summer—and the threat of being in a super-spreader event was very real. During the pandemic, we agreed to require a mask mandate and limited the number of people at any gathering. This posed a problem for local businesses, but there was little disagreement.

When the COVID vaccine became available, we had tremendous community support, and eventually, 92 percent of the local population in Jackson Hole became vaccinated. Nowhere else in the State of Wyoming did anything close to this happen. Our success was due, in great part, to community support, convincing the State Health Department and the governor to allow a mask mandate, and the commitment of professionals from our local public health program. As a result, relatively few of our local residents died. It was a public health success story.”

SPERRY HUNT ’66 “I’ve made music most of my adult life. I taught guitar and songwriting in the ’70s in California.

After that, I gave little thought to a career in music. Ten years ago, I started having vivid story dreams with soundtracks. The dreams invariably woke me up. I wrote down the music and a bit of lyric and finished the songs over the next few weeks. The dreams were stories about people I knew who had difficult lives. I recorded the songs a couple of years ago with some incredible musicians, including David Grisman. The result is an album called Story Songs. I seriously can’t take credit for it. I simply transcribed what I witnessed in the dreams. You can stream the album with lyrics by searching for ‘Sperry Hunt Story Songs’ on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, etc. The origin story of the album, with photos and videos, is at sperryhunt.com.”

CARL EKLUND ’67 Carl, pictured right with his wife, Lois, daughter, Siri, and grandson, Larson, stopped by to tour the FVS campus on July 20, 2023—the very first time Carl’s daughter had seen the place where her dad attended high school. Carl told stories from his time on the Prairie and located his name not only on the Athletic Awards wall but also in the Dining Hall, where he is listed as a Froelicher Award recipient.

ROCKY KIMBALL ’67 “I went hiking with [former faculty] Robin (Raushenbush) Koval yesterday and had a good catch-up. In early August, the immediate family is going to gather in Breckenridge for their own private ‘salute’ to Robin’s father, John Raushenbush P ’80. Robin and I hiked (slowly) up Rustlers’ Gulch and the peak in the background is Gothic, home of the Rocky Mountain Biology Lab. Mary Lou and I went to the Fountain Valley graduation this year and the campus looked amazing. It was a reminder to me about the role that educators and the educational experience play in embracing and encouraging each student’s potential.

And, so much of the FVS experience can be traced back to John’s influence.”

A MEMORY OF MASTER FRANCIS SLEVIN ON THE POWER OF THE SPOKEN WORD

’70s TOM REYNOLDS ’70 “Greetings from the Land of Enchantment. My wife, Terri, and I moved to Santa Fe, N.M., two years ago and love it! After a 13-year career in Alaska, and a 35-year career in Kansas City, I am enjoying retirement; playing lots of tennis— doubles (champion twice over at our club!) Get to see Ed Gale ’70 and his wonderful wife, Maria, often as they also live in Santa Fe. Also seeing Houston Harte ’70 next week when we visit Montecito, Calif. I have very fond memories of New Mexico while at Fountain Valley. My favorite professor, F.M. Brown, who taught a geomorphology class, took us on a field trip to Capulin Volcano National Monument. Very cool!”

MARK CHILDS ’77 “I’m settling into being retired in Seattle; mostly writing, but I will be teaching a class this fall at the University of Washington, College of the Built Environment. Analog Science Fiction and Fact magazine will publish a poem of mine soon and, in November, my eighth book, Foresight and Design: Composing Future Places, will be published by Routledge. I miss the high Rockies, but it is great to walk down to Puget Sound and ride the water taxi downtown.”

BARBARA TRASK ’79 “I am sorry to miss the reunion, but I am in Denmark. I got my Danish passport during COVID and have finally been able to make it work to spend the rest of the year there. We have rented a house [and] my daughter—in sixth grade—will be learning Danish. Please come visit if you are in Europe. See you next year for our 45th!”

BILL NORMAN ’61 “If all goes according to plan, I will give my last final argument to a jury early next year after more than 50 years of trying to craft the elusive perfect summation. Some of my opponents might quip that this is long overdue, but the point of this ‘experiences piece’ now is not so much to comment on my career as a trial lawyer. Rather, it is to acknowledge, at long last, a driving force of that career, which originated decades ago with one of my favorite teachers at FVS. To me, at least, the sheer power of the spoken word became demonstrated time and again by my junior year English Teacher Francis Slevin, and it has steadfastly remained in the back of my mind ever since.

The convincing force of an oral delivery is something I have witnessed thousands of times in courtroom presentations, often successfully against me, and it is a phenomenon that all of us experience every day as used for both good and ill [will]. Every time we hear a leader speak in today’s raucous debates or any time we read a written recounting of a famous spoken remark, we observe this force, over and over. Consider, ‘The only thing we have to fear is fear itself’ or ‘Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall’ or ‘Ask not what your country can do for you but….’

The anthropologists seem to tell us that a robust language is the defining feature of our species, maybe even the reason we won out over the Neanderthals. But, while the written languages were likely first used only 2,000 or 3,000 years ago, languages were used on an oral basis as long as 50,000 years before that; to devise hunting strategies, motivate, teach, and unify groups when competitors’ bands were comparatively disorganized and—to that extent—less effective. So, for the majority of our existence, and I would argue through today, it was and remains primary.

Don‘t get me wrong; good writing is today essential to success in most corners of the world, and most professionals read and/or write hundreds of pages every single day. But, consider for a moment how much our efforts to write well—whether a brief or a poem, or even just a Tweet—are direct or indirect attempts to capture the voices heard in the backs of our heads. The rhythm and pace, the tone and cadence, the volume and intensity, the emphases as well as the pregnant pauses,

B u l l e t i n

2 0 2 3

and surely including our facial expressions. All are essential and the goal of writing is often to conjure them up, to make their truths ring, and to keep them ringing. If you will, it is the difference between merely scanning Shakespeare’s printed text and the cries of King Lear on the heath that will stop you in your very tracks.

Frances Slevin had this insight and he was a master at portraying it by reading to us. Wait, isn’t reading to a class for fourth graders? Can’t 17-year-olds be trusted with carrying out their reading homework assignments? Well, yes, but if one seeks for the message truly to register and to stay registered—not just remembering a particular passage, but causing the emotional power to linger for years or even a lifetime—you (or at least he) brand the listener orally with the utter magic of the moment.

Almost by the very nature of the beast, though, these generalized written words of mine do not and cannot really capture the magic still ringing with me after almost 60 years. You almost had to be there as Mr. Slevin read from Sophocles’ Oedipus Rex when the main character finally realized he had married his mother. (‘Nooowww he knows!’ Slevin nodded to us.) Or, from Stephen Crane’s Red Badge of Courage. But, having now rummaged through my attic I found my favorite, in the original textbook and all underlined. So, close your eyes now and try to hear him speak with full dramatic effect, using correct pauses and emphases, nodding his head ever so gently, but firmly, and all the while looking across the classroom into the eyes of every student and freezing the gaze of each as if he were personally talking to them privately and all alone.

From Melville’s Moby Dick, the famous sermon of Father Mapple: ‘There now came a lull in his look....and at last, standing motionless with closed eyes…communing with God and himself…as he cried out ‘But oh, Shipmates on the starboard side of every woe there is a sure delight….Delight is to him who gives no quarter in the truth, and who kills, burns, and destroys all sin though he pluck it from under the robes of Senators and Judges…’

Thank you, Mr. Slevin, for the inspiration that lasted a lifetime. I daresay there is not one of us who could ever hope for a better legacy.”

DAVID PHILIPPS ’96 The entire School, including students and faculty, took part in its first-ever communitywide summer read in 2022 with the non-fiction book Wild Horse Country, written by Class of 1996 alumnus David Philipps to highlight the history of wild horses in the United States.

In the fall of 2022, Dave came to campus to speak to students at All-School in the Lewis Perry Jr. Chapel. While there, he spoke of his work as a journalist, offered some sage advice to students, and participated in a Q&A. For Dave, writing Wild Horse Country presented an opportunity to do something different; to take a break from his usual niche of writing about the military and to explore some of the most remote parts of the country. “My time at FVS was the most influential thing that ever happened to me and not a week goes by that I don’t think about it,” Dave said. “I guess it did [influence my book], because so much of FVS focused on the West that it made me forever interested in that subject.”

TRISTAN WHITE ’14 “My wife, Becki, and I were married in July 2023 in Larkspur, Colo., where Luke Schaack ’14 delivered an exceptional reading as a groomsman. Becki and I met in 2017 [while] studying geology abroad in New Zealand and reconnected the following year when I started my first job out of college near her hometown. I turned in my lab coat for a pickaxe in 2019 and haven’t looked back since. We’ve spent four years at the behemoth Morenci Copper Mine in Arizona, where Becki works in geologic modeling, and I coordinate exploration drilling campaigns. Thanks to my newfound COVID-era hobby, genealogy, I’ve since learned I am the sixth generation of ‘White’ in the mining industry, so it’s all quite fitting. We eventually plan on moving to the East Coast, but we’ll be enjoying Arizona’s mild, sunny winters until then! In other news, we honeymooned in Curacao, are headed to Hawaii this spring, and are halfway through our quest of visiting all the National Parks. One must constantly travel to avoid going stir-crazy in a tiny company town three hours outside of Tucson! Hopefully, everyone is in good health and spirit. Very much looking forward to the next reunion!”

ANNUAL FUND LEADERSHIP LEVELS All gifts to the Annual Fund enrich the Fountain Valley School experience for every student, every teacher, every day. Your support covers immediate needs that funding from other sources, including tuition revenue and endowment earnings, are not always sufficient to meet. Every gift matters. All gifts, regardless of the size, play an important role in helping Fountain Valley School deliver on our promise to provide a transformative education for students.
