HARVEY’S CLASS OF 2020, like most high school seniors across the nation, might have missed out on a lot of cherishable senior class moments when the COVID-19 pandemic forced them to complete their final term at home, but their joyous car parade on commencement day June 4 was an event they won’t soon forget. “It was an expression of love and admiration from the adults in this community who think the world of you,” Head of School Bill Knauer would tell the graduates when he addressed them following the parade. Responding to ideas from leaders of the senior class and wishing to do something very special for this year’s graduates, the school hosted the parade of cars, each filled with a graduate in cap and gown and happy and proud immediate family members along for the ride. With a tall arch of maroon and navy balloons serving as the parade’s starting point, the graduates, many standing in their cars and popping their heads out of the moonroofs of their vehicles, waved to smiling and cheering faculty who stood decked in full academic regalia at several locations along the parade route. The cars, decorated with inspirational messages, balloons, and streamers, made their way through the campus, following a route decorated with quite a colorful array of balloons and signs of congratulations and stopping at several stations for gifts from faculty and staff well-wishers.
As the parade made its way to the circular driveway in front of Sylvan Hall, Head of Upper School Phil Lazzaro greeted the graduates curbside, presenting each one with a diploma and handing a commencement award to those who earned one. Making sure they would have a photo to capture the momentous occasion of receiving a high school diploma in the year of COVID-19, each graduate climbed out of their car, stepped up on the lawn, and smiled for the camera with diploma in hand, much to delight of the family members looking on from inside their car. With a nod to tradition but conducted in a most unique way, the commencement celebration continued in the student parking lot where the cars parked in rows facing a three-foot stage. There, several speakers offered remarks to the graduates and their families who heard them through an FM radio dial set up especially for Harvey’s commencement day program.

While the Class of 2020 valedictorian Tommy (Zelin) Wang of China could not be on hand to deliver an address, he sent a recorded congratulatory message to his fellow classmates via Zoom. The graduates were also treated to a surprise Zoom message from NBA Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal who told them to “work hard and follow their dreams.” Perhaps the highlight of the ceremony came when Abigail Crossman addressed her classmates. Inspired by the recent nationwide and worldwide protests and demonstrations for racial justice, Abigail delivered an impassioned speech, telling her classmates not to limit their political activism to voting “only in large elections,” but to make their voices heard in their local school districts and municipalities. She reminded her fellow graduates that “it is imperative as young people that we educate ourselves and use our platforms to spark change.” Citing Malcolm X calling education

“the passport to the future,” Abigail exhorted her classmates, saying, “I implore you: take your passport and prepare the world for change.” Following Abigail’s remarks, Head of School Bill Knauer praised the senior for “taking a stand for equity and social justice.” Directing his remarks to the entire Class of 2020, Mr. Knauer spoke of the importance of the graduates’ finding purpose in life. He said, “At the end of the day it really comes down to a question of purpose. What do you want to achieve in your lifetime? And more importantly, who is the person you want to become?” Mr. Knauer urged the graduates to let their purpose guide their actions. “We have the utmost confidence that you will go out and change the world,” the school head said. The feeling of joy on this magnificent June day was palpable when there came a sudden, almost deafening eruption of cheers and blasting of car horns after Mr. Knauer instructed the Class of 2020 to move their tassels from right to left, signifying they were no longer seniors, but Harvey alumni ready and willing to take on the world!

Valedictorian Speech B Y T O M M Y ( Z E L I N ) WA N G
Now
I’m not afraid of uncertainty at all. Instead, I’m eager to explore the unknown world.”
1
HELLO, fellow classmates, staff and faculty. How are you doing? Can you believe this is happening? We’re finally graduating! It’s a great honor for me to be part of this celebration, to be your valedictorian. I arrived at Harvey three years ago, and now it is already the time to leave. It seems like only yesterday that we were laughing at Ms. Mahony’s morning meeting when she said, “I am Harvey.” Now, I want to speak out very loudly and proudly, “I’m Harvey!” I remember, before coming to the United States and The Harvey School, I had a big fight with my father about whether I would go to the U.S. My dad just said, “The studying experience in the U.S. would benefit you greatly in the future.” He didn’t explain how this experience would benefit me. I was so angry and upset at that time. I didn’t understand why he was being so cruel and would send me alone to America, which is 7,233 miles away from China. I wanted to stay with my family, my friends, my pets, and everything I was familiar with. Also, I was afraid of uncertainty and the risk. I didn’t know how life in the U.S. would be. My dad is a traditional Chinese father who hardly ever speaks out his thoughts and feelings and likes deciding everything for me. So, with anger, confusion, fear, curiosity, and many other emotions, I got on the 13-hour flight to the United States. When I first arrived at Harvey, I was in awe of everything here: the friendly people, the different diet, the multicultural environment, and the cute squirrels. Honestly, I only saw squirrels in zoos when I was in China, so I was so excited when I first saw squirrels running around the basketball court at the dorm. Lacking confidence initially when I arrived here, I always thought the administration made a mistake by accepting

me. During the first semester here, I was in constant social anxiety. I missed my family very much, couldn’t express myself properly in English, and had no idea how to be friends with my classmates. However, that situation changed two months later after doing some heavy-loaded group assignments with my classmates. Do you know what transcended the barriers of culture and language? Hunger. The group project required me meeting up with my classmates to finish the assignment. And hard work makes students hungry. We needed to meet to finish the assignments. It’s so easy to get familiar with people when you say, “Hey, I’m starving! Do you guys wanna grab some coffee and food!” “Yup.” And then, we are friends. I was suspicious of this approach, which may have been forced on us by our administration on purpose, but, seriously, collaboration is emphasized at Harvey, and we have benefited a lot from what we have done in the past three years here. I’m so thankful for all of my classmates and all the faculty taking care of us and educating us. Without them, I couldn’t imagine being able to adapt to the life here so well and celebrating all our achievements and differences. Now, I’m not afraid of uncertainty at all. Instead, I’m eager to explore the unknown world. I now totally understand my father and his deep expectation of me. I really appreciate my father’s decision to send me to the U.S., to The Harvey School, which is forever one of the most valuable experiences in my life. Now, I really want to cite a quote from the movie Forrest Gump: “Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get.” In the movie, Gump with an IQ of 75 dominates on the gridiron as a football star, becomes a college student, is received by President Kennedy, fights in the Vietnam War, captains a shrimp boat, becomes a millionaire, and so on. What an incredible and legendary life! Life is unpredictable, so please do not set limits on yourselves. We will never know what kind of chocolates we will get! We should learn from Mr. Gump to some extent. Let bravery and ambition be our inner voice, and tell us that we
3 4
5 can, and should, strive to transcend the situation or limitations of life and keep writing new chapters in our story. Life is full of uncertainty, risk, and obstacles. What we should do is to overcome them, dispel self-doubt, and believe in ourselves. We can do it. In a way, we are just like characters in a novel; in the first 20 pages of our story we do not know what will happen on page 200. Think about it — this is an excellent reason to be optimistic about our future life. All of us are only on the first 20 pages of our own story, and there are hundreds of pages to go. We don’t know what’s ahead after leaving Harvey, but I wish you all a fantastic journey! Our life at Harvey should be cherished. We’ve had these years to prepare ourselves, to be crazy, to succeed, to fail and cry, to back each other up, and finally to embrace ourselves as a whole including all our strengths and weaknesses. We are sitting here and basking in the afterglow of our Harvey moments. We might have done some things right and some things wrong, but it is the time for us now, the class of 2020, to get out there and show the world how great we are. Congratulations again, Class of 2020! Wherever we go and whatever we do, may we always be friends when we meet again. I wish you all the best. Thank you very much!

Prepare the World for Change BY ABIGAIL CROSSMAN
ON MARCH 9, 2020, all of our lives changed drastically. Mr. Lazzaro announced that school would be canceled. We cheered and clapped, but little did we know it would be the last time we would step foot onto campus until now. On February 26, 2012, Sybrina Fulton’s life changed forever. She didn’t know when she woke up that morning, but that would be the last day she would see her son, Trayvon Martin. On August 9, 2014, Lesley McSpadden’s life changed. That would be the last day she saw her son Michael Brown. Samaria Rice, Gwen Carr, Gianna Floyd, Wanda Cooper-Jones, Tamika Palmer, and countless, nameless others, will never see their sons, fathers, and daughters ever again. Some of them were killed by police. Others were killed by civilians, but they were all murdered by racism. They were all murdered by the belief that black lives are so insignificant they can be pinned on the ground or shot in the street like animals. The belief that despite their unlawful deaths, they don’t deserve justice.
That is why it is imperative as young people that we educate ourselves and use our platforms to spark change. We have voices. Many of us are 18, or will be soon. We can’t only vote in large elections. We have to place ballots in our school districts and in our city councils. If we start small, in our education systems, kids will learn about racism and how it is woven into the fabric of our country. They will learn how to fight these injustices and won’t rest until they have succeeded. I know I won’t, and I hope you won’t either. Malcolm X said, “Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare it for today.” I implore you: take your passport and prepare the world for change. Thank you. Congratulations to the Class of 2020.

Commencement Remarks BY WILLIAM J. KNAUER
1 GOOD MORNING, Class of 2020 and your families. Thank you to Eileen Walker and to the other members of the Board of Trustees who joined us today. Seniors, before I talk to you directly, I want to take a moment to publicly recognize our faculty, staff, and administrators, who have shown incredible commitment and dedication in working to ensure that Harvey continued to be Harvey, even in the face of unprecedented challenges. Thank you one and all.

Class of 2020, this is your big moment. Obviously, this is not what anyone had imagined even three short months ago. You are no doubt disappointed that you couldn’t have the traditional graduation that you had all anticipated, but we hope that this commencement parade succeeds in communicating to all of you how much we care and how proud we are of all you have accomplished. I wish you could have witnessed the buzz of activity on campus as your teachers got everything set up and ready for today. Ultimately, I hope that you come to recognize what today’s parade really is. It is an expression of love and admiration from the adults in this community who think the world of you. At Harvey we often say that our job is to guide and empower our students to become the people that they want to be, to become the best versions of themselves. If we have succeeded, that process doesn’t end here.

In her book “The Person You Mean to Be,” social psychologist Dolly Chugh argues that it is not enough to be a good person. It is our responsibility, every day, to work to be better, to do better. It’s not enough to believe in what’s right; we have to act for what’s right. Whether, as Abby so eloquently expressed, it’s struggling against the insidious forces of racism, taking a stand for equity and social justice, working toward a more sustainable future, or dedicating yourselves to other meaningful endeavors, you must draw upon your passion, your intellect, your creativity, your humanity, and your core values to make a difference in the world. At the end of the day it really comes down to a question
of purpose. What do you want to achieve in your lifetime? And more importantly, who is the person you want to become? Let that purpose guide your actions today and always. We have the utmost confidence that you will go out and change the world. With the authority vested in me by the Board of Trustees, I hereby grant diplomas to the Members of the Class of 2020 who have met all of their obligations to the school. Class of 2020, you may move your tassel from right to left. Family, friends, and faculty, both here and virtual, I am pleased to present to you the graduates of the Class of 2020 of The Harvey School.

Lead with Your Head and Heart B Y E I L E E N WA L K E R
WELCOME, to the great Class of 2020 and your families. A year ago, you were sitting in the Fenstermacher Athletic Center watching the Class of 2019 process one by one across the stage receiving their diplomas. Perhaps you even thought about how you would be walking that same path in 12 months. Never did any of us think the Class of 2020 would be doing a drive-thru commencement without the traditional activities associated with spring of senior year — at least not the “official” activities. I am here speaking on behalf of the Board of Trustees, many who are here with us today to share in this celebration of your accomplishments. We hope, first and foremost, that you leave Harvey feeling proud of yourself — of what you have achieved both in and out of the classroom. With pride comes self-confidence, and with self-confidence comes the courage to
explore and discover new things. And, the courage to look at the world through a different lens. We also hope you leave Harvey with “Enhanced Empathy” and an appreciation for the importance of patience. You are graduating at a very unusual time — this is an extremely challenging moment in your lives, — our lives, — our history. The public health stressors and the systemic social challenges we face will require you to draw on all the skills and talents you have developed and refined over the past few years with the support of your teachers and mentors — problem-solving, self-confidence, empathy, patience. We hope that when you leave Harvey today and move toward your next chapter, you do so boldly, while leading with your head AND your heart. Congratulations and good luck.

Middle School Moving Up Day Car Parade 2
AFTER BEING APART since mid-March, we were thrilled to welcome our eighth grade students and their families back to campus June 3 for a Moving Up Day car parade to celebrate their transition to high school. Students and their families slowly drove through campus as faculty and staff cheered enthusiastically, holding up signs and dancing as the cars passed by. It was heartwarming to see the happy faces of students, parents, and faculty, coming together to mark this important milestone. The parade ended with the eighth graders picking up their certificates and posing for some family pictures. Students also brought donations of nonperishable food items for the Northern Westchester Community Center to help others during this challenging time. On their way out, students picked up individualized lawn signs that were created for each student. Congratulations to our deserving Harvey Middle School eighth graders, and welcome to Upper School!

LET ME FIRST BORROW from the Scottish poet Robert Burns who wrote, “The best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry.” His words are quite fitting for what happened to the 2019–20 school year when the COVID-19 pandemic scuttled many of the plans we had made last August to help make your final year in Harvey Middle School something special. I’m sure you recall gathering back in March in the Study Hall space when we announced the decision to cancel classes for the remainder of the week leading up to the scheduled spring break. Most of us anticipated we would be safely back on campus in early April, but we soon watched the coronavirus situation quickly become far more serious than anyone could have imagined. In putting together a plan to continue instruction in a meaningful way, we placed tremendous faith in all of you, our students, to be adaptable. Despite realizing that the spring of your eighth grade year would not include the usual field days, dances, and Philadelphia trip, you all embraced the new learning environment and collaborated with each other
and your teachers to finish your middle school experience as best you could. Through dealing with this stay-at-home learning experience we all came to appreciate the times we had spent with each other on the beautiful Harvey campus in classrooms, athletic fields, and on stage. I have missed watching your final games and performances as middle schoolers, but I am incredibly proud of the poise and resilience you all displayed. You did all you could to maintain some sense of normalcy, making sure you published your literary magazine, Equinox, and even managing to perform the school play “ACME,” creatively turning it into a series of TV episodes! The lessons you learned through this trying experience will inevitably make you stronger moving forward in high school and beyond. We will always remember how committed you were to making sure your eighth grade year did not go completely awry and resulted in something you can all be very proud of. Congratulations, Class of 2024.

Best Wishes TO BILL PORTER ON HIS RETIREMENT
1. Bill poses with some of the international students he helped welcome to Harvey. // 2. Bill and Harvey Choral Director Zachary Wright catch up with visiting alums Chloe Savitch ’18 and Kelly McMorrow ’18. // 3. Bill Porter receives the 2018 Impact Award from Father Mark Connell of San Miguel Academy.
BILL PORTER, who retired June 30 as Harvey’s Upper School admissions director, has dedicated his life to shaping the hearts and minds of students. During his extraordinary career as an educator, Bill has served in a wide range of roles from teacher and coach to division director and head of school. His love of independent schools dates back to the early 1970s when Bill spent a post graduate year at Deerfield Academy playing baseball. As a matter of fact, that year at Deerfield brought together two of his greatest loves, baseball and independent schools. Bill joined Harvey in 2008 as director of admissions. During his tenure, Harvey’s enrollment grew nearly 10 percent and recruitment efforts diversified the school population to include students from more than 100 zip codes, made up of more than 30% students of color. “Everybody benefits from diversity,” Bill says. “It makes our school more of a real-world experience and prepares Harvey students for their future.” Bill cultivated relationships with individuals and organizations that have had a tremendous impact on our community. He was the first school representative to travel to China to lay the foundation for our international student program with the Cambridge Group. Harvey has graduated 26 international students who have gone on to top colleges and universities.
Bill created relationships with REACH Prep and Prep for Prep, both of which provide access to students who would benefit from a Harvey education. One of Bill’s most significant partnerships is the one he created with San Miguel Academy in Newburgh, New York, a school with a mission to educate at-risk boys from low income backgrounds and prepare them for success in high school, college, and career. Father Mark Connell at San Miguel recognized the important role that Bill played by awarding him the Academy’s IMPACT award in 2018. If asked, Bill would not mention any of these statistics or moments of recognition. He would say his career has really been about the many small moments with students and parents where he was able to offer a word of encouragement or open a door to opportunity that had a transformational impact on a student’s life. This is what we will remember most about Bill. “Harvey will miss Bill,” said Head of School Bill Knauer. “He has been unwavering in his commitment to the school. He is a compassionate and dedicated advocate for children, a tireless worker, and a man of great integrity.” The Admissions Office will be forever changed because of Bill’s presence and impact on Harvey and we wish him well as he spends more time with his wife, Kathy, his three grown sons, and his beautiful, new granddaughter.

that this was never how I envisioned my first year at Harvey would come to a close. And I am guessing I can say the same for you. Not having a spring season was something none of us had ever experienced, and we hope never to experience again. The spring of 2020 held a great deal of promise with girls varsity lacrosse and varsity baseball looking to defend championships and the other teams looking to build on past successes. Even though the athletic year was cut short, I could not miss this opportunity to say thank you. Thank you for accepting me into the Cavalier community. Thank you for being tremendous representatives of The Harvey School. Thank you for being great teammates and supporting your peers.

Earlier this year I addressed the school community at Morning Meeting where I spoke about how athletes have expiration dates, much like a carton of milk. Unlike milk, however, we have no date printed on us. While some of you may go on to play collegiate sports or join club teams, others will continue to participate recreationally in the sports you were active in at Harvey. The main goal is to remain healthy and athletic throughout your life. To the senior spring athletes of 2020, I hope you know that, although not a game was played, I am thankful for your years at Harvey. Know that you are a part of the Cavalier family forever. I look forward to seeing you when you visit and hearing about your achievements. Have a great summer and … Go, CAVS! —Ray Lacen, Director of Athletics
