A Note from the Narrator A number of years ago, when I brought my first daughter to Collegiate for an introductory school tour, I was moved by the simple words colorfully painted on the dining room soffit: Respect, Honor, Responsibility, and Compassion. Fifteen years later, as my second daughter is about to graduate, those words still ring sweetly. It has been an incredible journey, a richly textured portrait of classwork, sports, art, theater, and many wonderful friends, all framed by a school community that I have grown to love and respect. In years past, I have had the pleasure of cavorting about in the Hollywood screenwriting trade, with more recent, modest success in my newfound passion for writing fiction. None of this, however, compares to the deep satisfaction of assisting in the creation of our centennial book. Louisville Collegiate School is inseparable from the astounding events and people that have surrounded and shaped it. Cheers to this graceful lady and to her next one hundred years of service.

A Note from the Book Committee Chair It was my pleasure to coordinate the efforts of many people whose common cause was celebrating Louisville Collegiate School and preserving the stories of one hundred years of our Collegiate family. The process was personal for me. As I discovered images of my grandmother, Mary Peabody Jones Fitzhugh ‘22, dancing the highland fling in 1918, and of my mother, Edith Fitzhugh Camp ’48, dressed for competition as an Amazon, I learned more of their talents nurtured at school but not apparent in our lives together. Memories of my dear classmates and contemporaries of the 1970s came to life. My great appreciation of my own teachers and of my teaching colleagues of the 2000s also increased when viewed through the lens of all those who loved learning and dedicated themselves to instilling this love in their students. Sweetest of all, I revisited phases in the development of my own three children, as well as those of many former students, with the confidence that they are all well equipped to face life and to shape the future.

leaders must lead with character as a cornerstone to their decisions and actions.

All schools are a reflection of what they value. Great schools are fully intentional about which characteristics of a learning community are most important. For one hundred years, Louisville Collegiate School has provided an educational experience born of a unique blend of teaching and learning, character development, transformational relationships between teachers and students, and love.

At the dawn of the second century of the school’s history, these values have never been more important.

Learning is an intentional, active undertaking and an experimental phenomenon, and it involves the acquisition of skills, information, values, customs, beliefs, behaviors, and identities. Learning is the byproduct of engaged, curious students. Wherever learning is taking place—and specifically at Collegiate—seeds of creativity, inquisition, analysis, investigation, innovation, and critical thinking are being planted. The learning process must include creating an environment in which those seeds can flourish. Since its founding as a college preparatory girls’ school, Collegiate has focused on preparing students for the best colleges and universities in the country and for living lives of purpose regardless of their chosen field, with an emphasis on being lifelong learners.

Character is about responsibility, respect, honor, integrity, and compassion. As you will see in the pages that follow, character education has been a cornerstone to a Collegiate education since the school’s inception. Having a vision of academic success is not complete without character.

Character needs to be a partner with learning because the students we have today will be tomorrow’s leaders, and our

Students need to know that someone at school cares about them and genuinely wants them to be successful. When these bonds and relationships exist between students and teachers, there is a symbiotic connection that causes both student and teacher to work harder for each other, resulting in a shared success that benefits both. Whether speaking with members of the Class of ’64 at their 50th reunion or casually chatting with young alums at the annual holiday gathering, our alumni can name teachers who were transformational to their experience and integral to making learning relevant.

Collegiate Connection 2013 to present The 13th Head of School, Dr. James Calleroz White, brings a passion for students’ success and an organizational expertise to lead Collegiate into its second century. Dr. Calleroz White is committed to building on a century of success to further shape an education that is intentional, relevant, and transformative. vii

Love has been an essential part of the Collegiate ethos since Mr. and Mrs. Speed opened the doors in 1915. Berea College professor and renowned author bell hooks wrote, “Love in the classroom prepares teachers and students to open our minds and hearts. It is the foundation on which every learning community can be created. . . . Love will always challenge and change us. This is the heart of the matter.” For one hundred years, students at Collegiate have been well loved. As you will see throughout the Centennial Book, it has clearly been the goal of every administration and every teacher to provide Collegiate’s students with an exceptional education instituted in learning, grounded in character education, achieved through meaningful studentteacher relationships, and founded in love.

This continues to be our mission today, one hundred years from the start. And, as it has been in each of the intervening decades, providing our students and families with a Collegiate education is a true act of love, an act that those before us took seriously and those after us will as well.

Louisville Collegiate School: One Hundred Years of Excellence

by R. Barker Price

Today, the school continues to build on its proud heritage as it provides a diverse student population with a challenging college preparatory curriculum, underscored by a commitment to community service, respect, cultural sensitivity, and global awareness. Through the focused convergence of these important life skills, the school resolutely looks forward to a bright future preparing eager young minds for higher education and a lifetime of learning.

Since its inception one hundred years ago, Louisville Collegiate School has been guided by an immutable connection between the past, present, and future. The linkage between these interrelated times has never been lost.

When the school first swung open its doors in a retrofitted home on West Ormsby in 1915, it was grounded on a foundation of classical learning and enlightened thought.

Collegiate’s respect for the past, for the joy of learning, and for the importance of social awareness has brought the institution through the world wars, the Great Depression, unimaginable technological advancements, and unforeseeably dramatic societal changes. Indeed, it is because of this rich tapestry of human events that Louisville Collegiate School continues to thrive one hundred years later.

As the following pages reveal, Louisville Collegiate School is more than its history. It is more than its collegial campus of classic, slate-roofed brick classrooms, stately trees, playing fields, and studios. It is more than a thriving community of engaged students, educators, staff, and alumni. It is, quite simply, an invaluable trust: a committed body of learning that both links and transcends the many fascinating decades of life experiences surrounding it.

THE PROGRESSIVE YEARS 1915–1919

Louisville Collegiate School did not exist in 1910, but its hearty seed had been sown much earlier. The Semple Collegiate School, founded in Louisville in 1893 by Patty Blackburn Semple, had been offering a college preparatory education for young women before the new decade began.

When Semple Collegiate School closed in 1915, several forward-thinking trustees, including Virginia Perrin Speed and William Shallcross Speed, were intent on advancing education for women. The Speeds, along with four other prominent Louisville couples, opened Louisville Collegiate School in a rented house near St. James Court.

Sixty students, including the daughters of several of the school’s founders as well as many former Semple pupils, enrolled in the new school on West Ormsby Avenue.

By 1910, throughout the country, progressive social issues had begun to replace the expansionist impulses of the early 1900s. Welfare and labor reform, civil rights, and increased federal regulation of industry enjoyed wide support. The federal income tax was ratified by the Sixteenth Amendment in 1913. At the same time, women’s suffrage was gaining momentum, and education for women in general was enjoying greater relevance.

The Semple Collegiate School, with its mission of educating young women, directly addressed the converging social issues of the day. In many respects, the school was far ahead of its time, but more important, it laid the foundation for Louisville Collegiate School that was soon to follow.

The guiding vision of the new school, a rigorous and enlightened college preparatory curriculum for women, was not common at the time, particularly in the South. Higher education was the bastion of men, and far less thought was given to advanced education for women, much less to their matriculation to college. That perception began to change as Collegiate took hold and began to grow.

The second half of the decade brought unprecedented change to both the country and the fledgling Louisville Collegiate School. World War I began in 1914. The United States reluctantly abandoned its isolationist posture and joined the Allied forces in 1917.

Alexander Graham Bell successfully made the first transatlantic telephone call in 1915, and Albert Einstein published his theory of relativity in 1916. On the home front, Louisville’s Louis Brandeis became the first Jewish Supreme Court justice and Ford Motor Company opened a massive new automobile assembly plant.

I should be a member of the Red Cross because our country is at war, and this is the only way by which I can reach and help our wounded soldiers who are fighting over there. When the soldiers are wounded, they need everything that the Red Cross supplies.

In the midst of the war effort, yet still under the influence of ongoing internal pressures for domestic reform, Louisville Collegiate School remained true to its vision of enlightened education and social awareness. The faculty and students started a school chapter of the American Red Cross, paraded for liberty bonds, and assisted war orphans in Europe. At the same time, they established many of the school’s most cherished symbols and traditions: the school colors of blue and gold, a new school seal, the beginnings of student self-government and honor system.

Transcript, 1917 by Elizabeth Engelhard, Fifth Class

Woodrow Wilson, having been reelected in 1916, continued to lead the country through a delicate balancing act, weighing the immediate needs of the war effort against a compelling progressive social agenda. The Selective Service Act was passed in 1917, just as a wave of war-driven anti-immigrant hysteria swept across the country. At the same time, the Great Migration of African American workers moving to the North for betterpaying industrial jobs was underway.

In 1918, a crippling, nation-wide influenza epidemic erupted, affecting nearly twenty-five percent of the population and wreaking havoc with the economy. Louisville Collegiate School closed for five weeks that year as a result of the flu, yet supporters pressed ahead with the construction of a new gymnasium.

For those accustomed to central heating in winter and air conditioning in summer there is news – it is possible to survive without either. Heating was largely dependent on fireplaces. At the mid-point of examinations the half of the class seated at the back of the room moved forward to enjoy the heat from the fireplace, while those already “toasted” moved to the rear to take their places . . . At the back of the second floor there was an open air study porch used on all days except the most extreme.

By all accounts, Louisville Collegiate School weathered the tumult of the war years without compromising its ideals. The war ended in 1918, and later that year President Wilson completed his dream of forming a League of Nations to end wars and promote global harmony. The Treaty of Versailles was signed in 1919, while the Nineteenth Amendment, giving women the right to vote, was ratified the same year.

The world was once again at peace. Enrollment at Louisville Collegiate School was gaining momentum. More than ever, education was seen as the key to advancement and selffulfillment. On November 21, 1919, the school re-incorporated as a uniquely innovative nonprofit and endowed educational institute. The school’s future, beyond the lifetimes of its founders, was now assured.

Like the rest of the country immediately after World War I, Louisville Collegiate School waded cautiously into the 1920s but was soon to be caught up in a groundswell of postwar optimism that burgeoned into an astounding wave of technological, academic, and social advancement.

At its core, the Roaring Twenties brought unimaginable prosperity and growth to the country and to the Collegiate community. From 1920 to 1929, the nation’s standard of living rose to spectacular heights, while industry and business grew at exponential but unsustainable rates. The nation’s population doubled and the Dow Jones Industrial Average grew by 500 percent.

Recognizing the imperative to change and adapt, Collegiate caught its breath, reaffirmed its position as a groundbreaking college preparatory school for women, and braced for the fundamental evolution to a new society that was rapidly being framed by monumental forces: Prohibition, gangsters, the liberated “flapper” woman, the Charleston, Lindbergh, Babe Ruth, F. Flapper drawings by Collegiate student - 1925 Scott Fitzgerald, Edna St. Vincent Millay, George Gershwin, jazz, Georgia O’Keeffe, the Harlem Renaissance, and Louis Armstrong.

It was a robust time of plenty. Fortunes were made and lost overnight, while outdated social mores crumbled, and the arts and contemporary music found creative release in new, unorthodox forms.

After the first meeting of the gym class with Miss Tilton, we realized, to our joy, that this would be the best year for athletics that we have had … There should be two teams in the upper school … competitions should last all through the year. Points would be given for all games, for hiking and horseback riding. We voted on the names of the teams and decided on “Blue” and “Gold,” the school colors!

Riding the rising swell of optimism that had consumed the country and community, in 1925, Louisville Collegiate School embarked on a grand journey to build a new campus on Glenmary Avenue in the scenic Highlands, which was just a trolley ride away from downtown. Enrollment had grown to one hundred, with a faculty of fifteen, and applications for admittance were pouring in.

Increasingly, many Louisville families recognized the demonstrable value of the school’s rigorous college preparatory curriculum and its focused attention on the development of the whole student-citizen.

Collegiate had been discovered. It was time to grow.

Collegiate’s founders, William Shallcross Speed and Virginia Perrin Speed, set the pace for advancement toward construction of the new school with a challenge gift of $100,000, which was equal to approximately $1,500,000 today. The Speeds’ challenge was quickly matched by other eager supporters. The board of trustees approved a stately Georgian design by local architects Nevin, Wishchmeyer and Morgan, and ground was broken in March of 1926. The new Louisville Collegiate School opened its doors to a flood of beaming students in the fall of that year.

Enrollment continued to climb, and by 1928, with 160 students, Collegiate could see the need for further expansion. A group of nineteen prominent Louisville business leaders took the lead in this effort, quietly purchasing approximately one and a half acres of property directly behind the Glenmary building. Their intent was to provide the school with additional open space for student athletic programs, which the school had always believed to be an integral part of the curriculum.

The country was ablaze with a euphoric sense of destiny, and Louisville Collegiate School’s enlightened vision resonated with parents eager to provide their daughters with a meaningful academic experience never offered to many of them. While advancement to college remained at the forefront of the school’s goals, a dedicated faculty also challenged and enthusiastically encouraged its students to develop their own beliefs and core values.

Toward the end of the 1920s, with the stock market at an all-time high, there was seemingly no end to the nation’s celebration of excessive consumption and wealth. The National Spelling Bee was created by the Louisville Courier-Journal in 1925. The J.B. Speed Art Museum opened in 1927, and The Jazz Singer, the first talking film, was released later that year. In 1928, the state’s first commercial airport, Bowman Field, began regularly scheduled flights.

Collegiate’s 1929 graduating class anticipated a very bright future.

But the students and the school were soon to face a great test. Dark clouds were on the horizon, as an enormous inequality in wealth had developed amid rampant financial speculation and credit borrowing. While the rich got richer, average Americans suffered as wages stagnated, employment opportunities diminished, and consumer prices rose precipitously. Finally, in October of 1929, the stock market collapsed, and the nation’s party was over. Louisville Collegiate School was immediately and severely impacted when many families suddenly could no longer afford to pay tuition.

The Great Depression had arrived, and life in America and in the school was forever changed.

Collegiate Cornerstones: Arnold E. Holtberg Head of School, Parent Indeed, even the best of us are tempted to take shortcuts on occasion, but having a strong belief system born of integrity and honor allows one to make sound decisions and, as it is said, to do the hard right while accepting responsibility for consequences and thus, success or failure. For a century, Collegiate students have been given the tools to respond to every situation appropriately by distinguishing right from wrong.

Character—that which is enduring—is taught and learned daily in all aspects of school life.

From my very first interaction with members of the Collegiate community, it was evident that the school was committed to academic excellence and the development of its students as whole persons. The more I learned about Collegiate, the more I came to understand that character education had been one of the school’s core principles from its inception. And certainly, the Honor Code has always been key to the school’s mission, allowing it to educate girls and boys, young women and young men who not only achieve outstanding results, but who also succeed by doing things the right way.

Throughout my tenure at Collegiate, I was impressed by the work of the Upper School Student Council as that body accepted heartily its responsibility to inculcate honor and other ethical ideals into the being of each and every student. All Collegiate students were taught that trust and self-respect go hand in hand and that to be truthful in all situations is essential to one’s integrity and the wellbeing of the community. To this end, Collegiate students have been taught to be autonomous, to be self-governing. In how many educational environments are students allowed to take examinations without supervision? How common is it that young people are expected to be courageous in upholding an honor code by confronting peers who are in error, thereby not only holding themselves to the highest standards, but also exhibiting a willingness to ask others to do so as well?

Might it be said that, in order to create and nurture a school community in which every member fulfills his or her potential and develops strong moral character, students should be expected to behave truthfully, respectfully, honorably, and justly at all times? Thankfully, the Honor Code is central to Collegiate’s ethos and might even be considered the school’s unifying principle.

During his tenure an increasingly international view became evident, enriched by visiting teachers and students from around the world. A new master plan was created, adjacent properties acquired, and funds were raised for a major update and expansion of the school during his administration.

Thomas Jefferson, principal author of the Declaration of Independence and third president of the United States of America, said that “honesty is the first chapter in the Book of Wisdom.” Because they are honest, others know Collegiate students and graduates and know that they can be trusted. After all, Collegiate students have been given a road map toward wisdom.

In the final analysis, being able to take pride in one’s good name may be more important than anything else, for one is defined by his or her actions. Forever, I will consider honor to be synonymous with the Louisville Collegiate School.

By the spring of 1930, the nation’s cataclysmic economic implosion had spread like a cancer to the local community. New construction in Louisville was down 50 percent. Eleven large local manufacturing operations closed in 1930 alone, and banks began to shutter their doors at an alarming rate. Thousands of people were thrown out of work. The Great Depression had fully hit home.

Louisville Collegiate School gamely struggled forward, but many families reluctantly began to withdraw their children in favor of free education at area public schools. Painful memories of forced separation from Collegiate friends and teachers were never fully forgotten.

As the decade progressed, the Depression deepened and disappointment turned to misery. By 1933, local retail sales were off 60 percent. Local unemployment skyrocketed to nearly 23 percent for whites and over 37 percent for African Americans.

Louisville Collegiate School’s enrollment shrank from a high of 170 students in 1931 to just 110 in 1935. The fact that the Upper School maintained its enrollment provides a testament to the value of Collegiate’s college preparatory program.

Other businesses began to hire again as well and, in what may have been a spectacularly unheralded sign of local recovery, Kaelin’s restaurant served the first-ever documented “cheeseburger” in 1934.

President Roosevelt powered the Works Progress Administration (WPA) into existence in 1935, and a deluge of government-supported construction projects began to create thousands of new jobs.

Roads were built and rivers were opened to navigation. Hoover Dam was dedicated in 1935, and the Golden Gate Bridge opened soon after that. Closer to home, the US gold depository was established at Fort Knox.

While general economic recovery in Louisville was still painfully anemic, it was enough to allow Collegiate to ease into 1934 with a slight upswing in enrollment. Supporters of the school were heartened to see that the Great Depression had not diminished the value of quality education. Students were still eager to engage and learn. Collegiate had survived the worst of the depression, but there was still a long way to go.

Studying with an attitude - 1934

Sensing meaningful optimism, Collegiate boldly opened a nursery school in 1935 to augment its expanding kindergarten program. In 1937, biology was introduced in the Upper School, complete with lab work and the obligatory frog dissection.

The school was finally growing again.

Just when things were demonstrably looking up, the nation’s budding economic revival was harshly interrupted when unrelenting rain flooded the Ohio River Valley in January of 1937. Rising floodwaters blocked streets, shut down power distribution centers, and spilled into shops and homes. Almost overnight, 75 percent of downtown Louisville was inundated.

Collegiate staff and students regrouped to clean the halls and classrooms, restock supplies, and then resolutely returned to their books. The students, many of whom had enthusiastically supported the flood relief effort, were handsomely rewarded for their generosity; they had missed two weeks of school, avoiding the certainty of many dreaded exams in the process.

Scores of pleasure boats, some operated by concerned Collegiate families, went into action, rescuing trapped residents and delivering much-needed aid. At the height of the flood, a long pontoon bridge, designed

by Collegiate parent and architect Capt. W.S. Arrasmith, was constructed out of whiskey barrels to assist refugees seeking dry ground in the Highlands. Not unexpectedly, Louisville Collegiate School reacted decisively to the flood, immediately throwing open its doors to refugees from the hard-hit west end of the city.

School volunteers worked around the clock preparing meals, handling phone calls, and caring for displaced women and children. And when the floodwaters finally subsided, and life in Louisville crept back toward some semblance of normality,

The 1937 flood . . . presented a challenge to the entire community of Louisville. After a month of constant rain, the Ohio River rose out of its banks, and at the crest of the flood the River was twenty miles across. Thousands were forced to leave their homes and, among many other schools in the east end, Collegiate was designated a refugee center.

As the decade drew to a close, external forces on the world stage were conspiring to create an even greater challenge for the nation and ultimately for Louisville Collegiate School. Fascism had suddenly cast an insidious pall over much of Europe. Both Mussolini in Italy and Adolph Hitler in Germany fed the fires of discontent and unleashed a ruthless campaign of aggression against neighboring countries. Europe was being devoured.

Britain and France declared war on Germany. World War II had begun.

With war raging in Europe, the United States found it increasingly difficult to maintain its isolationist stance. Germany marched victoriously into Paris in 1940, and Franklin Roosevelt, just elected to a historic third term, pushed through legislation creating the Selective Service Act to facilitate a massive rebuilding of the country’s armed forces.

The full impact of the war in Europe had not fully descended on Louisville at the outset of the decade. By 1941, any hopes for peace were dashed when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor on December 7th. Four days later, Germany and Italy declared war on the United States. America was at war. Collegiate, however, was still basking in the glow of an improving economy and rising local employment.

Collegiate was quick to respond and immediately began to support the American Red Cross, Bundles for Britain, and other activities aimed at raising funds for war relief programs.

Collegiate students packed summer typing programs at the school, with some graduates going on to provide much-needed secretarial assistance to local war offices and businesses.

The domestic economy, while saddled with rising war-driven debt, began to expand as factories geared up to produce weapons and clothing for our troops overseas. The Navy assumed control of the old Howard Shipyard in Jeffersonville and very quickly set about building 105 LST landing ships that would soon become pivotal in the war effort. Louisville was about to become the world’s largest producer of synthetic rubber. Fort Knox became the gold depository for a number of western European nations.

Louisville’s Ford Motor Company began to produce military jeeps, while the Henry Vogt Machine Company was producing one complete ship’s boiler each day at the peak of the war.

1944, a momentous year for the nation, was noteworthy at Collegiate as well. The school’s student-run newspaper, Pandemonium, published its first issue that year. At the same time, the precursor of Collegiate’s Honor Code took root, advancing core principles of Respect, Responsibility, Honor, and Compassion.

On the other side of the Atlantic, Allied forces, carried by our locally built LST’s, stormed the beaches of Normandy, France, on June 6, 1944, and the great D-Day invasion was underway.

A withering end was in sight for the Axis powers. By 1945, Hitler was dead, and Germany had surrendered. When the US Air Force dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August, Japan capitulated and the war in the Pacific was finally over.

A national victory celebration began. The conflict had framed an entire generation of young men. Louisville veterans streamed back to the city, putting the war behind them as they went to work, bought homes, and started families.

In 1947, Louisville Collegiate School, sensing renewed national vigor, began construction of a new primary building on Glenmary Avenue to house Pre-K through second grade, as well as additional music room space.

Enrollment began to climb once again. In 1948, the curriculum was expanded with the addition of strategic new math and science courses. This was also the last year to include boys in the Kindergarten program until the late 1960s.

On the broader stage, Louisville’s Standiford Field opened for commercial airline service in 1947. In 1948, The United Nations voted to partition Palestine into Jewish and Arab provinces, and the Dead Sea Scrolls were unearthed.

Louisville Collegiate School had survived the 1940s, actively aiding the war effort while maintaining its high academic and moral standards. If anything, the school’s resolve had only been strengthened, and, by the close of the decade, Collegiate was already looking forward to the inevitable economic boom of the 1950s.

Hockey Heritage: Louise Rapp Wall ‘47 Director Emerita, Past President of Board of Trustees, Alumna, Parent, Grandparent In 1933, Mrs. Speed announced Collegiate students could no longer compete with other high schools off campus.

When I graduated in 1947, the Amazons had long since become one of the top high school hockey teams in the city. For me, as a co-captain with Jean Duerson Bade ’47, my Amazon experience was one of the highlights of my time at Collegiate. Hockey was the sport, although we did play softball, basketball, and tennis. Today, as Collegiate enters its second century, hockey is still the sport for the girls. Although I no longer know many of the players, upon occasion, I will still shout, “Give me an A …”

Undeterred, a group of Collegiate hockey players, led by Edna Louise (Eddy) Vogt, then created “the Amazons.” The independent Amazons hired their own coach and soon became a winning team, playing most of their games at Seneca Park. At the end of the school day, the Amazons surreptitiously changed to their hockey uniforms of kilts, socks, shin guards, and grey sweatshirts with an orange A on the front, and raced to Seneca Park.

From the early days of Collegiate’s existence, hockey was a large part of the life of the school. The first mention of it may have been in the 1922 Transcript: “November 11 [1921]— The hockey sticks came! The field was finished and teams were to be formed. . . . We are the second school in Kentucky to have adopted hockey . . . “ The new sport quickly gained an enthusiastic following: “The most exciting game ever witnessed!

Collegiate vs. Atherton! Our girls looked very ‘trick’ in their Blue and Gold skull caps! We had a very large crowd for ‘Louisville’s First Hockey Game,’ as it was called in the papers.

All of Collegiate turned out for ‘the’ game, but all of Atherton was there also, so Collegiate looked very small in comparison!” - Transcript, 1925.

In 1928, five lots behind the school were purchased, doubling the size of the new Glenmary campus and ensuring that Collegiate would have its own athletic field. Collegiate hockey players were organized into two teams, the Blues and the Golds, for intramural competition.

Finally, in the fall of 1964, a schoolsanctioned Collegiate team took part in the Louisville hockey league for the first time.

In the mid-1970s, the revered “Amazon” name was adopted for good, and fierce competition continues to this day.

Collegiate Connection 1941 to present Recipient of 1947 Speed Medal for Scholarship, intrepid Amazon, and Gold Team Captain, Louise Wall has continued to support her alma mater in many meaningful ways since her graduation. Most notably, Louise has given 39 years of service to the board of trustees and the alumni board.

46

Evidence of the Amazons’ skills spans the decades. In the 1940s and 1950s, the Amazons claimed hockey championships every year but two. In Coach Martin’s 34 years of leadership, the Amazons have earned the state championship eleven times.

In 2000, Sports Illustrated featured Wendy Martin for winning the “three-peat” of three state titles in a row.

Physical education and athletics should be an integral part of every school curriculum.

Collegiate has always included sports as part of the total educational experience.

The lessons learned on the playing field help us all through life. Collegiate’s core values—Respect, Honor, Responsibility, and Compassion—can all be brought into play on the hockey field.

Despite the outbreak of war in Korea in 1953, Collegiate and much of the country seemed to be enjoying a renewed sense of optimism and vigor. Enrollment at the school—210 students— was strong, driven by a robust national and local economy.

By the mid-1950s, children of WWII veterans began to enter grade school.

Collegiate’s enrollment swelled to a high of 215 in 1955. The curriculum was expanded and improved as the school intensified its focus on carefully preparing students for college and lifetime learning. Locally, Bacon’s Department Store opened its first suburban location in St. Matthews, and the Kentucky Opera was founded in Louisville in 1952.

Overshadowing the surge of unbridled prosperity in the United States, the dark shadow of Communism was creeping relentlessly across Europe and beyond. Joseph Stalin had died in 1953 and was followed by Nikita Krushchev, who tightened the Communist Party grip on Russia and on postwar Europe. The Cold War had begun and it would dominate world affairs for the next thirty years.

William Shallcross Speed died in 1955, leaving a bequest to the school that was used to expand the dining room, enlarge the kitchen, and add two classrooms to accommodate a burgeoning enrollment.

Despite tense confrontations in Europe and beyond, Americans chose to work even harder, to embrace family values, and to push the boundaries of innovation and social justice.

Business, the arts, and education all flourished. A little-known Illinois salesman, Ray Kroc, bought a small hamburger franchise in 1955, Dancing and Clowning and McDonald’s was born.

Norman Rockwell’s quintessential American paintings graced the covers of the Saturday Evening Post. Disneyland opened in Anaheim, California, in 1955, and the country fell in love with the automobile.

The Collegiate Alumni Association concluded its four-year sponsorship of the Rock Creek Horse Show in 1956, with proceeds of the event being used for scholarships and other school projects. Over the next several years, the Ford Motor Company added a second assembly plant in Louisville and employment leaped to more than 4,500. The Kentucky Colonels baseball team moved into a new stadium at the Kentucky Fairgrounds.

In 1957, the world was shocked when the Soviet Union sent Sputnik rocketing into space. Iron Liege won the Kentucky Derby, one second off Whirlaway’s 1941 record-setting run of 2:01 2/5 minutes. Meanwhile, Collegiate just kept growing, announcing in 1957 that only by enrolling in kindergarten could a child be certain of gaining admittance to first grade.

The Amazons, an independent field hockey team comprised of Collegiate students, became wildly popular as they dominated regional competition and won the state championship every year of the decade.

As the decade drew to a close in 1959, Collegiate’s Chairman of the Board, Virginia Perrin Speed, offered prophetic insight into the school’s enduring legacy when she wrote of the pride she felt when visiting the campus “…to hear of our constant improvement, not only keeping abreast of our times but looking ahead to the problems our graduates will face in the future and giving them every preparation in our power for a firm foundation on which to build their lives.”

A commanding sense of optimism abounded at the outset of 1960. Signs of prosperity were everywhere as Louisville Collegiate School continued to enjoy enthusiastic support from baby boom students and parents who were determined to capitalize on the school’s tangible educational benefits.

Collegiate’s first Kindergarten Derby took place in 1960, when five- and six-year-old jockeys riding broomstick horses made their first run for the crêpe paper roses. John F. Kennedy was elected president, and Cassius Clay won the gold medal for boxing at the Rome Olympic games. The same year, Collegiate’s campus expanded again when additional property along Grinstead Drive was developed and merged into the existing playing fields.

Recognized as one of the top elementary schools in the nation, Collegiate was chosen to host a one-year Traveling Elementary Science Library exhibition.

By 1961, however, the relative calm of the previous decade was upended by disruptive world events. East Germany, firmly under Soviet control, began construction of the Berlin Wall. The Cuban missile crisis rocked the country in 1962. In 1963, John F. Kennedy was assassinated, and Nelson Mandela was jailed in South Africa. The Collegiate community came together in solidarity, recognizing that education was the absolute key to understanding and coping with a world in need of new direction.

The Amazons won their last championship season as an independent team in 1963. These fierce competitors had earned 19 championships since 1940 but were now disbanded. The new Collegiate field hockey team would win the Louisville League for the first time in 1969.

Despite a number of unnerving global events, Collegiate remained determined to advance its educational experience. The school gaily celebrated its 50-year anniversary in 1964. Advanced Placement examinations for the College Board were offered for the first time, and construction began on the new Virginia Perrin Speed building, with three new classrooms, a dance studio, a locker room, and a faculty lounge.

By 1964, the tension between adherence to fundamental academic pursuits and anxiety over world and national issues was becoming increasingly pronounced. The Cold War still gripped the world, and, while the Civil Rights Act of 1964 banned racial segregation in public schools, the fight for equality became heated. As with most of the nation, diversity came slowly to Collegiate, but the school continued to improve its academic standing and increase enrollment.

Around Louisville, the arts scene began to blossom. The Kentucky Shakespeare Festival was founded in 1960, and in 1964, Actors Theatre of Louisville performed its first production in a second floor loft on Fourth Street. Highlighting the year, however, was the unfathomable cultural revolution that erupted when the Beatles arrived in America. The British Invasion was underway.

Virginia Speed dedicated the new Speed Middle School building on Glenmary Avenue in 1965. Local businesses were thriving. J. J. B. Hilliard & Son and W. L. Lyons and Company merged in 1965 to form Hilliard Lyons, the largest investment institution in the Ohio Valley. Collegiate students flocked to the luxurious Rialto Theater when The Sound of Music ran for 64 uninterrupted weeks.

In 1965, the country was captivated by the amazing spectacle of the first space walk by an American astronaut, Edward White, but perhaps the most ominous event of the year occurred when President Lyndon Johnson introduced US ground combat troops Blue and Gold Team captains Mona-Tate Willig and Mimi Horner - 1965 into the Vietnam War. The nation was largely unaware that the modest conflict on the other side of the world would soon unleash violent domestic rancor and a polarizing division that quickly followed.

Collegiate’s new building was officially dedicated on Friday, April 9th at three-thirty in the afternoon – and a beautiful afternoon it was! The ceremonies began in the gymnasium… As usual Miss Gilsdorf and her pupils put on a superb performance... after which everyone adjourned to the dining room to celebrate the occasion with refreshments.

Louisville Collegiate School entered the second half of the decade with a sense of embattled determination.

Despite debilitating national unrest over civil rights and the Vietnam War, the school maintained its compass and advanced its vision as it steadfastly sought out insightful new perspectives.

In 1966, Mrs. Virginia Speed retired as president of the Collegiate School Board of Trustees after 50 years of unwavering visionary service.

Later that year, Kentucky became the first southern state to pass a comprehensive civil rights law, and in 1967, Thurgood Marshall became the first African American Supreme Court justice.

For more than fifty years, Mrs. Speed was Collegiate—our friend, benefactor, guiding spirit, and bulwark, upon which the school was built and progressed over three generations. She was much more than a founder and a president of the board. Her intelligent and sincere concern... was unflagging with everyone...

The entire Collegiate community was profoundly saddened by the death of the school’s founder and lifelong benefactor, Mrs. Virginia Speed, in 1968. She is remembered for her unending generosity and for the infectious love of education that she instilled in others for over 50 years.

Adding to the tumult of 1968 were the grim assassinations of Martin Luther King and Robert F. Kennedy. The country was reeling, bombarded by seemingly endless tragedy and confrontation. The Vietnam conflict raged on as anti-war protesters took to the streets.

Civil rights marches became violent, and the Cold War with the USSR escalated.

The profoundly eventful 1960s came to a close with a positive display of American inspiration when Apollo 11 landed on the moon in 1969. The world was in awe, and for just a moment, the country was able to rise above the divisions that conspired to pull it apart. Much closer to home, Collegiate’s 55th senior class of 19 students graduated with bright hopes for the future. One of the graduates would later join the first coeducational class at Yale University.

SHOUT OUT LOUD 1970 – 1979

The 1970s were nothing short of a roller-coaster ride for the nation and the Collegiate community. It was a decade overshadowed by a hugely contentious war in Vietnam, a domestic oil crisis, and runaway inflation, yet it was also a colorful period in America that witnessed the brash spectacle of disco and Monday night football, not to mention Margaret Thatcher, Jimmy Carter, the Mary Tyler Moore Show, and of course, All In The Family.

The tragic shooting of student war protesters at Kent State University in 1970 had a huge impact on the nation. The Collegiate community was sobered as well, but it pressed ahead, focusing on its proven curriculum and core values. The same year, the school considered a merger with several other local private schools but chose instead to maintain its robust independence. Longtime math teacher Lucille Crosby challenged students and faculty with the introduction of the first personal computer, and Led Zeppelin released its mega-hit, “Stairway to Heaven.”

It is still so versatile and holds dear memories for every one of us since it was built.

Louisville businesses were thriving in 1972.

The prestigious law firm of Brown, Todd and Heyburn was founded, and Hilliard Lyons investment company became a formal corporation after 118 years as a family partnership. In the wake of continued enrollment growth, Collegiate’s Board of Trustees initiated its first Annual Giving Drive in the 1972-1973 school year. Board Chair Louise Rapp Wall ’73 and Charles B. Price led the effort, which exceeded its goal of $30,000. Collegiate alumni published a successful cookbook, Le Cordon Bleu et D’Or, as an additional fundraising project.

The seventies were truly years to remember as Collegiate moved forward to develop a “Free Form Education Day” that evolved into the innovative and highly regarded “Interim,” a betweensessions program that encouraged students to explore topics and places outside of the regular curriculum.

This program continues to engage and challenge students today. In 1973, Secretariat won the Kentucky Derby with a record time of 1:59 2/5 minutes that has not been matched since, and the amazing Amazons field hockey team continued to dominate regional competitions.

In keeping with its mission of expanding educational opportunities, Collegiate admitted boys to grades one through four for the first time in 40 years in 1974. That same spring, an apocalyptic tornado ripped through the east end of Louisville with winds up to 250 miles per hour, upending the lives of many Collegiate families. Beloved Kentucky author Joe Creason died in 1974, and Richard Nixon resigned his presidency in the wake of the Watergate scandal. A world away, across the Pacific, the war in Vietnam was finally lost when Saigon fell, ending nearly 10 years of official US involvement.

Tumultuous national and world affairs overshadowed Collegiate life in the late 1970s. The Camp David Accords brought peace between Egypt and Israel in 1978, only to be followed by the demoralizing Iranian hostage crisis in 1979. The economy soured, and domestic inflation skyrocketed.

The tumultuous decade finally drew to a close, and, as if to punctuate its determination to remain a world-class college preparatory institution, in 1979, Louisville Collegiate School recognized two National Merit Semifinalists and inducted four students into the Cum Laude Society in its second year at Collegiate. The seventies were over, but the pace of change had not yet reached an apogee.

The nation was still in a deep recession as the new decade began, but the stirring of a new economy could most certainly be felt. Recovery was not far away.

Ronald Reagan was resoundingly elected president in 1980, promoting a strong pro-business and nationalistic agenda.

Louisville Collegiate School recognized that the time was ripe to make a significant change, as in enrolling lots more boys. This change would ignite new growth and carry the school into the twenty-first century.

Sandra Day O’Connor became the first female member of the United States Supreme Court. Locally, United Parcel Service opened a dynamic new overnight delivery program from its justcompleted hub at Louisville International Airport.

I am one of the few faculty members who was here before Miss Kussrow came to Collegiate, so I would like to publicly applaud her. . . . To be sure, we grew in size of grades, numbers of buildings, variety of curriculum. More important, we grew in quality. . . . Miss Kussrow started the AP program. She also started the Cum Laude Society and the Academic Honors Day . . . she developed the guidance program and the importance of the alumnae. She supported the parents’ groups and relations with our neighborhood.

The national recession officially ended in the fall, helping to drive school enrollment still higher. Louisville’s Fourth Street Galleria opened to much fanfare, and an amazing number of new restaurants began to sprout up throughout the eighties. Collegiate families were able to enjoy the exciting and eclectic fare offered by Alumna Kathy Cary’s Lilly’s, which opened in the Highlands in 1988, as well as Clover Lane, Vincenzo’s, Equus, Le Relais, and De La Torre’s.

Blending Old and New Traditions

Mr. MacKelcan . . . was known for his friendly, outgoing personality and open lines of communication with students, faculty, and parents.

These qualities proved invaluable during the years of change throughout his tenure. His foremost task was to convince parents, alumnae, and the community that Collegiate could be a school for both boys and girls. He succeeded admirably...

By 1983, “Reaganomics� seemed to be lifting the economy as the stock market surged, unemployment fell, and the gross domestic product leaped upward by almost 10 percent. Sally Ride became the first American female astronaut, and the Kentucky Center for the Arts opened as a unique city, county, state, and private business partnership. Collegiate continued to embrace emerging technologies as it installed 17 computers and initiated the state’s first required course of computer programming.

Amid the swirl of a soaring economy, Collegiate students continued to recognize the importance of unresolved social issues: crime, poverty, and civil rights. They focused their efforts to engage and make a difference by collecting money and Construction on the new Upper School Building clothes for the Cabbage Patch Settlement House, United Way, and USA for Africa, as well as promoting human rights issues and AIDS awareness campaigns.

The school also took steps to increase cultural diversity by increasing scholarship opportunities and actively recruiting talented students from all neighborhoods of Jefferson County and southern Indiana.

The latter part of the 1980s was marked by a surge of unexpected events that impacted both Collegiate and the nation. The country was stunned by the tragic explosion of the space shuttle Challenger in 1986, the same year Barry Bingham sold the Louisville Courier-Journal to a public company after over 120 years of family ownership. An arson fire severely damaged Collegiate’s gymnasium on January 31, 1988. Undaunted by the losses, more than 1,000 people attended the hit musical production, Bye Bye Birdie in March 1988.

And, in what was the long-awaited climax to years of planning and preparation, in 1987, Collegiate graduated its first co-educational class.

In 1989, Collegiate’s enrollment climbed to a new record of 516 students. The Amazons field hockey team powered their way to an amazing tenth state title, and a full 30 percent of the graduating class were named as National Merit Semifinalists.

Barbarians at the Gate: Chris Doyle ‘87 Alumnus, Parent, Coach These men also had a huge impact on my life. Mr. MacKelcan led the way as headmaster. He made an effort to know all of the students at the school. Mr. Selvig, the Head of the Upper School, brought calm and order to the school. We nicknamed him “God” because it seemed as if anytime one of us was about to do something stupid, he would appear from behind, put a hand on a shoulder, and say, “Are you sure that is something you should be doing?”

It is a little-known fact that there was once an all-boys school at Collegiate. When the decision was made to take Collegiate co-ed, the school established a separate boys’ school. The new school was located on the site of the current Upper School building. I imagine the decision was made to appease the parents of female students who wanted to keep the barbarians away from their daughters.

While the plan succeeded in keeping boys and girls separate in the classroom, things did not work out so well.

The men who had the biggest impact on me at Collegiate were my coaches. Mr. Schum, Mr. Costello, Mr. Cunningham, and Mr. Fanelli taught me many valuable lessons. I am eternally grateful for the ways that they challenged and supported me during my time at Collegiate.

Many of the Upper School teachers had never taught a boy before, let alone a ninth-grade one. We were not an easily tamed bunch. One day we came up with a plan to liven things up in one of our afternoon classes. At an agreedupon time, we simultaneously closed our books, ran out of the classroom, ran a lap around the field, and returned to our desks as if nothing had happened.

Needless to say, we were appropriately punished. The experiment of a separate boys’ school lasted for only one year, and things worked much better once we were mixed in with the girls.

I remember Mr. Marshall, our English teacher, who did a masterful job of engaging ninth-grade boys that first year.

He renamed our ninth-grade English class “Macho Lit” and taught us with humor and more patience than we deserved. Mr. Marshall was one of a long line of teachers and coaches who helped make the transition to a co-ed school a success.

Collegiate Connection 1981 to present

Chris Doyle is a stalwart member of the first co-ed graduating class at Collegiate. Chris joined the school as a seventh grader in 1981. Among the life lessons Chris learned during those fledgling years of boys’ varsity athletics was to always “play with heart and intelligence.”

As the first boys, we faced many challenges, particularly on the basketball court. We did not win a single game until my junior year, and after that first victory, we experienced only a handful more during my time. And yet, those basketball teams were the closest and hardest-working teams I have ever been a part of. The first win felt like we had won a national championship. While every loss was painful, Coach Costello and Coach Cunningham taught us that if we played with heart and intelligence, we could be proud of ourselves. That is a lesson I draw upon to this day.

I have two sons and a daughter who currently attend Collegiate. It is a wonderful thing to see them grow up attending a school that has meant so much to me. I am also thankful that my sons never have to hear someone say, “Collegiate . . . isn’t that a girls’ school?”

Much can be said about a decade that began with back-to-back premieres of Seinfeld and The Simpsons; it was certain to be anything but dull. At Collegiate, it was the end of Preppy and the beginning of Not So Preppy. Being different was suddenly very cool.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average topped 10,000 in 1990, and Louisville Collegiate School celebrated its 75th anniversary in 1991 in grand style with the release of a cookbook compiled by Parents Council, a ceremonial cake, and an original musical production called School Days: A Collegiate Family Album. This same year the Persian Gulf War ended, and Louisville’s Thunder Over Louisville became the largest fireworks display in the nation.

When Bill Clinton was elected president in 1992, noted poet Maya Angelou became the first African American woman ever to speak at an inauguration. Clearly, the country had set a new course.

Collegiate was changing too, growing and adapting, but ever mindful of its time-honored charge to prepare young men and women for a lifetime of learning and civic engagement.

In 1993, enrollment peaked at yet another record of 559 students.

One year later, an ambitious $2.2 million renovation and expansion began in the Lower School.

The economy, both nationally and locally, was expanding again. Louisville’s Ford Motor Company plant delivered its one millionth vehicle in 1993, and in 1994 Collegiate enrolled a total of 110 new students. On the world stage, however, religious and sectarian conflicts brought demoralizing instability. The World Trade Center was bombed in 1993, and Israel’s prime minister, Yitzhak Rabin, was assassinated in 1995, the same year of the Oklahoma City Federal Building bombing.

Collegiate’s fortunes blossomed in 1995. A summer-long renovation project began in one of the school’s satellite buildings on Glenmary Avenue, creating new art and music classrooms. The same year, Collegiate fielded the first high school rowing team in the state, and in 1996, the school’s annual fundraiser, Collecting Antiques Fair, topped $100,000 for the first time.

In 1997, Collegiate began a major renovation of its Middle School. Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium opened that year as well, while on the national front, Bill Clinton and a Republicancontrolled Congress agreed on legislation to balance the budget by 2002. Louisville’s local economy, mirroring that of the nation, was in full swing again. Humana’s charitable Annual All Children Exercising donations ticked past $100 million, Simultaneously Day providing invaluable assistance for local education, arts, parks, and health and human services projects.

New Louisville restaurants were popping up everywhere during the 1990s. Bobby J’s, Azalea, Zephyr Cove, Allo Spiedo, and Porcini’s opened and were matched by an emerging microbrewery mania that brought the Bluegrass Brewery and Hops.

The J.B. Speed Art Museum began a major renovation and expansion program in 1997. Ironically, 1998 saw the closure of Louisville’s iconic Vogue Theater, while the federal government created the first true budget surplus in the nation’s history. President Clinton’s landmark budget achievement, however, was soiled by his impeachment by the House of Representatives.

The Home of the Innocents announced the purchase of over twenty acres of downtown property for its ambitious expansion initiative. The year, and quite possibly the decade, ended triumphantly when Collegiate graduate Tori Murden (now Tori Murden McClure) rowed for 81 straight days to become the first woman and first American to row solo across the Atlantic.

Y2K was on everyone’s mind at midnight on December 31, 1999, and fractious world issues remained at the outset of the new millennium. However, Louisville Collegiate School marched forward with certain resolve. Enrollment was strong, and the school’s richly textured curriculum continued to inspire young minds.

In 2000, a Building Committee was formed to consider the most comprehensive expansion in the school’s history. The resulting master campus plan would move the school’s main entryway from Glenmary Avenue to Grinstead Drive, add a new gymnasium, five new upper school classrooms, and solve the neighborhood’s congestion and parking concerns.

The sense of order and progress that had comfortably enveloped the school and community was suddenly shattered by the horrific attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11.

The nation was fearful, Lacrosse comes to Middle School but Collegiate rallied around its core principles and forged ahead. School enrollment soared to a record high of 665 students, and the Leap Without Bounds capital campaign to provide funding for the campus expansion was unveiled.

Property for the new Champions Trace Athletic Fields was acquired the same year, and fifty-one proud seniors became the largest graduating class in the school’s history. By the end of 2002, the Upper School had provided over 10,000 hours of community service.

The stock market’s spectacular bull run suddenly disintegrated in 2008 when several major United States financial institutions collapsed, setting off a precipitous global financial crisis.

Overnight, the country was thrown into a devastating recession. Collegiate was immediately impacted, but despite the debilitating setback, most students, faculty, and families reaffirmed their trust in the school and the strength of its college preparatory program. They chose to stay.

Collegiate’s first junior kindergarten class began in 2008, and the successful Leap Without Bounds capital campaign concluded later that year, having raised $13.5 million to fund the construction of the new Upper School, the Mary Rodes Lannert Athletic Center, rehabilitation of the Harry S.

Global Engagement: Joe Geoghegan ‘09 American University ’13, currently Public Policy Manager at Greater Louisville Inc. While I had a room all to myself, the parents and grandparents shared one and the son slept on the couch (despite my pleas for him to switch with me). While he arose at six each morning to go to school and did not return until after ten at night, I spent much of my home time being shown off to relatives or attempting to communicate with his father, who spoke no English and spent his days clad in a t-shirt and gym shorts. By the end of the week, we had progressed from a few Chinese words on my part and some wild gesturing on both ends, to more streamlined conversations consisting of full Chinese sentences, some smoother gestures, and even a few English words that I had managed to articulate.

I was among the lucky ones who seized these travels early; I traveled to China, Spain, and Greece with Collegiate, and my feet have not stopped itching since. Friends who did little of this travel in high school now joke that they are “catching up” with me in college. The trips that I took were defined as language (for China and Spain) and cultural (for Greece).

I suppose that Greece was defined as cultural since no Greek is offered at my alma mater, but just as we stumbled through learning some basic Greek in Greece, we also employed our language knowledge to learn the culture (or at least a slice of it) in China and Spain. In this sense, travel for language, culture, study, and even personal growth are inseparable.

To this day I tell people about my home stays in China and Spain. In Valladolid, Spain, I lived in a penthouse apartment with a family of three children, whose two boys and I shared a bedroom. We would wake up late, have long meals, and wander the city, made famous by Hemingway’s For Whom the Bell Tolls.

As my Spanish improved, so did my appreciation for the Spanish way of life, if not for the lispy accent. My Chinese family was slightly different. In Jiu Jiang, China (a sister city of Louisville), I stayed in a two-bedroom apartment that was being shared for the time by the parents, their son, their parents, and me.

Collegiate Connection 2002 to present As a junior at American University applying to study abroad in Cuba for a semester, Joe wrote the following essay in answer to the question: “Have you ever been thrown out of your element and how did you deal with it?”

128

Now a junior in college applying to study abroad in Cuba, I am asked if I have ever been thrown completely out of my element and how I dealt with it. I am still waiting to hear if the story of developing relations with my Chinese host-father will suffice. I have a feeling it will. That’s something that has come back to me time and again in college: the importance of unique experiences.

Everyone studied art, drama, language, and music in high school, but very few saw the Parthenon firsthand, spoke to an expert in Spain on Velazquez’s Las Meninas, or honed their Chinese by teaching a class full of Jiu Jiang’s teenagers how to do the chicken dance. One studies history while the other makes it. Being a part of world history— that’s what I would call enrichment.

THE HERE AND NOW 2010 – 2015

Titan soccer team celebrates school’s first State All-A Championship - 2010

The pace of change only accelerated in 2010, as Collegiate carefully navigated an unsettled world and nation. China surpassed Japan as the world’s second largest economy, but the lingering international monetary meltdown forced Greece into bankruptcy, challenging the economic stability of the other European nations. Domestically, the US recession was declared “officially over” in 2010, but there were few signs of a rebound on Main Street.

Despite the very slow national recovery, Collegiate continued to grow, due in large part to its solid reputation for academic excellence. Enrollment climbed steadily and new, innovative courses were added. The school honored its first Athletic Hall of Fame inductees in 2010, the same year the Titan Soccer team became the All-A State Champions, District 13 Champions, 7th and 8th Regional Champions and Elite Eight State Tournament contenders for the first time.

Perhaps heralding an improving local economy, 2010 was also a banner year for The Comfy Cow, when its richly whipped brand was named the official ice cream of the Dalai Lama during his visit to Louisville.

On November 3, 2011, the Collegiate community was shaken when sixteen fourth-grade students and three adults were injured when the school bus overturned while traveling to visit Mammoth Cave. Injured students and faculty were praised by emergency responders and hospital staff for their courage, deportment, and determined concern for fellow classmates and teachers.

They resolutely stood behind the veteran Collegiate bus driver and super-fan, forcefully verifying that he was in no way responsible.

Fortunately, all involved in the accident recovered. Their selfless actions demonstrated the power of Collegiate’s Cornerstones: Respect, Honor, Responsibility, and Compassion.

I want to teach students to see other cultures without the bias. To see it the way it really is.

It’s what keeps me going.

In 2012, Louisville’s eclectic downtown hotel, 21C, owned by former Collegiate student Laura Lee Brown, was named a Top Ten In The World venue by Condé Nast’s travel magazine for the third time. While the Collegiate community was duly impressed by the parade of penguins at the hotel’s site on Main Street, it pressed ahead with its own vision. The school began renovation of the auditorium and instituted the first online courses for Upper School students.

The First Place trophy in the District Tournament of the Governor’s Cup Competition, the state’s most prestigious academic competition involving over 20,000 students, was won by Collegiate in 2012, the same year the board of trustees initiated the ambitious Second Century Plan which centered on five strategic imperatives: Academic Excellence, Technology, Global Engagement, Character Education, and School Culture.

…Although small in size, Collegiate is big in many aspects. It is a place full of honor, integrity—we can walk the halls of the school without a hall pass and there are no locks on our lockers. It is a place where . . . teachers’ doors are always open.

In the face of disheartening national and world events, Pharrell Williams’ feel-good smash hit song, “Happy,” helped to lift spirits around the globe in 2014. Collegiate was determined to do its part as well. The new campus Master Plan was approved, and the school became the first in the city and region to offer multivariable calculus. Collegiate’s innovation continued with a new Makerspace program, which fused art, science, mathematics, and technology.

As 2014 drew to a close, Collegiate’s enrollment had reached an unprecedented 702 students, and meaningful financial aid opportunities remained an integral component of the school’s vision. There were 55 smiling graduates at Collegiate’s 2014 commencement gathering.

The school looked back in 2015 on an astounding century of service in which the paddle wheeler Belle of Louisville and Collegiate celebrated their one hundredth anniversaries. These two guardians of Louisville’s past remain relevant today, providing profound testament to their grace, perseverance, and commitment.

Our partnership with The School of St. Jude in Tanzania provides teachers with a unique two-week experience to give back both on a professional and personal level. It’s a partnership that benefits both schools. Through these shared educational and cultural experiences teaching and learning is transformed. We look forward to continuing this partnership for many years to come.

Collegiate: Past, Present and Future—Making a differenc e chronicle its existence, Collegiate has remained true to its founding conviction that rigorous and enlightened education, both academically and socially, is a timelessly universal imperative.

Louisville Collegiate School proudly celebrates its one hundredth anniversary in 2015. It has been a magnificent century, populated by countless triumphs, with scores of outstanding students, parents, faculty, administrators, anniversary and alumni serving as bright beacons of understanding and perseverance. We know our history, and we treasure the enormous sacrifices and priceless gifts of those who precede us.

What the future holds for Louisville Collegiate School is an intriguing mystery, one that will be played out against the rich tapestry of our ever-changing lives. There is one immutable certainty, however. Collegiate will continue to cherish the great honor and responsibility of engaging young minds and of instilling a passion for intellectual pursuit, respect, and social awareness as the foundation for a lifetime of learning and giving.

The world and nation have changed in ways no one could ever have imagined. Yet, since its inception one hundred years ago, and through the tumult of the decades that

Afterword: Geoffrey D. Campbell Associate Head of School, Director of Advancement With the publication of Louisville Collegiate School: One Hundred Years of Excellence in 2015, Louisville Collegiate School continued to evolve and grow. Immediate next steps included adding a middle school baseball program, joining the prestigious Global Online Academy, and graduating our 99th class. This is not a comprehensive list, so there is a lot of honest, hard work ahead of you. You will, no doubt, start where we did and look to the last publication regarding the history of the school. Please, be as grateful for it as we were for the 75th Alumni Bulletin.

In the winter of 2015, while the centennial book was being created, the board of trustees acquired two adjacent properties. First, Burger’s Market and—shortly thereafter—the Yorktown apartments were purchased. Head of School Dr. Calleroz White explained, “These strategic property acquisitions potentially allow for a more flexible use of our campus in the future. They are simply an investment in Collegiate for generations to come.”

In its first one hundred years, Collegiate engaged at least five generations of Louisvillians in achieving and maintaining its position as the leading independent school in Louisville. We found that multiple family connections extend throughout the first one hundred

years. Is that still the case? It’s those connections that help make Collegiate the school it is today.

As we imagine the Bicentennial Book Committee hard at work in 2115, we hope that the lists we could not find and then constructed through the painstaking efforts of dozens of volunteers are intact and up to date. We also hope that people are as willing to share their Collegiate stories with you as they were with us.

We hope that the values that founded the school remain in place, that alumni still love and support their school, and above all that Collegiate continues to be a beacon for educational excellence in the city of its birth.

Collegiate Connection 2013 to present Geoff is a well-traveled independent school educator and administrator who believes that independent schools are at their best when they are truly learning communities.

He sees in Collegiate a learning community poised to move boldly into its second century.

At the 99th commencement ceremony we listened intently (the tradition in those days) as the Head of School read aloud to the assembled guests individual citations written about each graduate. It was clear that we were sending 54 future leaders to the best colleges and universities in the country. In that moment, we were reminded that these were the best colleges and universities in the country in part because our graduates were there, helping to shape the institutions that in turn were shaping them—a familiar theme.

We hope that is still true!

Acknowledgments Laurie Vieth led efforts as Chair of the Centennial Book Committee, coordinating editorial meetings, assisting archival research, and compiling resources necessary to create a book worthy of our school. Her vision included organizing the book by decades, allowing readers to easily find and see themselves in the context of the whole.

Copy editor Lori Brown Patrick carefully and cheerfully “grammarwitched” every single word. Collegiate Parent Connie Thomas graciously volunteered her time to obtain photo permissions.

R. Barker Price, the book’s author, proved his commitment and leadership in all phases of this project. Barker not only created the narrative voice that accurately portrays the Collegiate story, he also had the vision to select pertinent timeline entries, photos, and artifacts that support his written word.

Kertis Creative, the school’s videographers, interviewed dozens of past and present community members to create a Centennial Video that serves as a companion piece to our book. The creative team at Kertis also provided essential support to the Centennial Book team.

Illustrator Annette Cable depicted one hundred years of Collegiate in a lovely composite drawing.

We gratefully acknowledge the many talented photographers who have contributed to Collegiate’s archives over the years, including Nick Bonura, Mike Brohm, Lin Caufield, Crit Fischer, Doug Fowley, Michelle Haas, Paul Halliday, Jebb Harris, Ralph Holman, Andrea Hughes, Breck Jones, Walton Jones, Kenny Karem, George Kok, Skip McNeil, Ron Morris, John Nation, Barbara Buddeke Ogden, Patrick Pfister, Tim Porco, Tom Schuhmann, Sweet Shot Photos, Fred Taft, David Todd, Jack Trawick.

Geoff Campbell, Director of Advancement, and Megan Flodder, the staff’s Centennial Book Coordinator, provided enthusiastic support in overseeing this project and generosity in sharing the talents of the members of the Advancement Office: Ange Chatham, Stephanie Disney, Todd Hinton, Rob Linker, and Jess Tandy. In addition, administrative assistants Lynne Age, Linda Bilderback, Susan Harlow, Maria Klotter, Melissa Page, and Athletic Director Scott Willard cheerfully answered countless emails requesting obscure tidbits of information.

Our art director and publisher, John Clark of Old Stone Press, continually demonstrated his creativity and passion for this project. We are grateful to John for overseeing all aspects of the production phase, including his selection of four extremely talented people brought in to collaborate.

Without archivist Donna Russell’s expertise, Collegiate’s Centennial Book would have never come to fruition. Donna spent untold hours creating digital, searchable archives to use for this book, and also to carry Collegiate’s story forward into the second hundred years.

Our book designer, Hill Harcourt of Ashton Advertising, was able to quickly understand our concept and create a beautiful and informative book that captures the close connections of our Collegiate family.

Student Body Presidents The Head of School, faculty, and the student body of Collegiate agree that the goal of its student government is to develop in each student a consideration for others, an acceptance of responsibility, and honesty in his/her dealings. All believe that these aims, arrived at through a cooperative effort, may be best achieved by sharing responsibility of the government of the Upper School. The Student Body President, as elected by a majority of Upper School students, heads the student government structure of the school.

The Performing Arts Collegiate students and faculty have participated in dramatic, dance, and musical performances since the earliest days of the school. While their specific details are less permanent than those of the dramatic endeavors, musical performances have accompanied every major school program, and students have excelled in competitions. More recently, the historic Kindergarten Band has been succeeded by a string ensemble and rock band that continue to delight audiences.

Behind the scenes at performances but essential to the development of each actor and musician are the directors, including Sharon Kinnison, Chris Lerner, Adrianne Blair, Katherine Smith, Jan Tedesco, John McCarthy, Michelle Ludwig, Elizabeth Spicer, Steve Hendricks, David Marshall, Margot Starr, Dorothy Gilsdorf, Sara Bond, Nancy Sexton, Nancie Christensen, Evita, 2015 Nancy Niles, Bonnie Wallace, Zoe Warren, Frances Howard, Jean Moore, Patricia Murray, Mrs. Akers, Mrs. Monroe, Miss Lange, Mrs. Mahanes, Mrs. McGhee, Miss Crampton, Barbara Jacobsen, Elizabeth Campbell, Mary Long Hanlon, Miss Thomson, Miss Tilton, Ophelia Foley, William Sams, Mme.

List of Collegiate Traditions Collegiate’s traditions are very much a part of its unique identity. Some, like the Honor Code and “Alma Mater,” are quite old, while others, such as the Kindergarten Derby and senior speeches, are more recent. Each tradition, in its own way, defines and honors our school, its history, and its vision.

History of Collegiate Campus Growth Louisville Collegiate School first opened its doors in a former home on West Ormsby Avenue in 1915, but, recognizing the need to grow, it relocated to a newly constructed building on Glenmary Avenue in the Highlands in 1927. With the goal of a larger and more unified campus and a commitment to remain a cornerstone of the historic Cherokee Triangle, additional properties to the west and east have been acquired over the years, along with expansive playing fields at Champions Trace.

Heads of School Strong leadership is the chief reason Collegiate is one hundred years old. That leadership was provided by the founders, Virginia Perrin Speed and her husband William Shallcross Speed, and by the thirteen Heads of School who have answered the call since the school’s founding. For the first five decades of the school’s history, Mrs. Speed was an active, hands-on, and ever-present founder, iconic and singularly committed to the school. She modeled the leadership and dedication necessary for the school to take root and flourish. Collegiate has been fortunate to enjoy a brand of leadership in its Heads of School that featured innovation, a stalwart commitment to the founding values, and a fundamental belief that excellence in education matters.

Transcript Dedications The close relationship between Collegiate students and the greater Collegiate community is nowhere more evident than in reading any one of the many Transcript dedications, chosen by the Transcript editorial staff, and Senior Presentations, chosen by the members of the graduating class. One hundred years of students’ heartfelt words of appreciation are indeed a testament to the powerful and lasting impact of Collegiate’s talented and caring faculty, administrators, staff members, parents and classmates to whom the Transcript has been dedicated.

2015 Transcript Dedication to Robin Seiler

For as long as we can remember, Mrs. Seiler has been an integral part of Collegiate.

As Director of Enrollment and Recruitment, her search to find the best and brightest students to fill the classrooms has made Collegiate what it is today. In reality, she is the one to thank for our attendance to Collegiate. Mrs. Seiler has been with us since the beginning. When we took preliminary testing, she was there with sharpened pencils.

When we shadowed, Mrs. Seiler was always the first to welcome us with a sparkling smile and walk us to our class. And on the first day, we could always find her walking into Commencement, cheering us on as we started our Collegiate journey. Next year without Mrs. Seiler, the Collegiate Community will surely be at a loss. For all her hard work and dedication to Collegiate, Transcript would like to dedicate this book to her.

Senior Presentation to Sara Gahan

Mrs. Gahan is not the type of teacher anyone will ever forget. Sophomore World Literature with Mrs. Gahan was, let’s just say, a step up from English classes in the past. Through excruciating reading quizzes and endless lists of vocabulary, Mrs. Gahan taught us more than seems possible. A whirlwind of knowledge, her class was filled with intense discussion and eye-opening discovery. We traveled alongside Odysseus as he embarked on his journey home to Ithaca, we played (some unwillingly) mahjong with the members of the Joy Luck Club, and we watched as Richard Parker and Pi waited for rescue. We annotated and read and studied and simply learned. At our Junior Ring ceremony, we were truly privileged to have Mrs. Gahan speak. Mrs. Gahan reminded us, “We are enough.” These simple words have motivated us through our final year of high school and will carry us through college and beyond.

We want to turn these words back to you, Mrs. Gahan. Mrs. Gahan, you are more than enough. You are kind, caring, powerful, and so much more. Your smile lights up a classroom and your love for us is beyond reason. We wish to dedicate this yearbook to you, knowing full well this is nothing in comparison to all you have done for us.

173

Transcript Dedications 2014 Transcript Dedication to Mike Keith

The yearbook staff would like to dedicate the Transcript to Mr. Mike Keith. An integral part of the Collegiate community, Mr. Keith has worked on the maintenance staff since September, 1981. We appreciate everything he does for Collegiate and love seeing his bright smile throughout campus. Mr. Keith, thank you for lightening our days at Collegiate and continuing your hard work around campus even in the face of the freezing weather!

Senior Presentation to Melissa Page

In 2007, after working as an Administrative Assistant for fifteen years at Norton Elementary and VanHoose Education Center, Melissa Page came to Collegiate as the Upper School Administrative Assistant. This past year the Upper School was sad to see her make the change to Middle School Administrative Assistant, and she has been greatly missed in the Upper School office. The seniors would like to dedicate their last yearbook to Ms. Page, who has acted as a role model and second mom to every student. Her upbeat personality brightens everyone’s day, and her ability to think of everyone else before herself is truly inspiring to those around her. The senior class will always appreciate her warm hugs, encouraging comments, and helpful advice.

We love and miss you, Ms. Page!

Transcript Dedications 2013 Transcript Dedication to Junius Scott Prince

After twenty years of teaching at other notable institutions around the country, Scott Prince returned to his hometown in 2005 when he accepted the post of Director of College Counseling and Assistant Head of School at Collegiate. The following year, he stepped in to assume responsibility as Head of Upper School. During this time, Mr. Prince granted students the freedom of going to Burger’s Market during breaks, among many other great privileges. Since August 2007, Mr. Prince has served Collegiate as Head of School, making a wide variety of contributions to the institution, including the Champion’s Trace athletic compound and the new Glenmary Academy. At the beginning of the school year, Mr. Prince announced that he would be leaving Collegiate in May to pursue other opportunities in education. On behalf of the entire Collegiate community, Transcript dedicates the yearbook to Mr. Prince for all he has given to each and every student, parent, faculty, and staff member as we wish him luck on the next chapter of his life. Thank you for everything, Mr. Prince. Your legacy will be remembered and you will be greatly missed.

Senior Presentation to Elizabeth Holloway Brown

On April 10, 2003, Louisville Collegiate experienced a devastating loss. At the young age of eight, a fellow student of the Class of 2013, Elizabeth Brown, unexpectedly drowned in a flash flood near East Maui while on Spring Break. This loss deeply touched everyone in the Collegiate community and the Louisville area. Elizabeth was a kind student, always smiling and bringing happiness to Collegiate. Her father, Kevin Brown (a chemistry teacher at Eastern High School who also sadly passed in the flood), loved coming to class to demonstrate fun science experiments, reminding us of the joy of learning. At Collegiate, the loss of one Titan or Amazon brings the mourning of many. Every time we pass Elizabeth’s memorial bench in the gardens of the Lower School, we remember. That is why, a decade later, we, the Class of 2013, dedicate the 97th Transcript to our lost friend, Elizabeth Brown. Forever a Collegiate Amazon.

Transcript Dedications 2012 Transcript Dedication to The Class of 2020, the Fourth Grade Teachers, and Lawrence Austin, Sr.

Traditionally, the Transcript editors dedicate the yearbook to one faculty member who has shown exceptional service to the school and has been a memorable part of the editors’ experiences at Collegiate. This year we decided to do something a little different. In light of the tragic event this fall, we have decided to dedicate the yearbook to the class of 2020, the fourth grade teachers, and Lawrence Austin, Sr.

On November 3, the fourth graders piled into school buses that would take them on a much-anticipated field trip to Mammoth Cave. On the way there, in order to avoid a collision with a tractor-trailer, Mr. Austin heroically steered the bus out of harm’s way.

The tires lost traction on the slippery roads and the bus rolled over. Sixteen students and three adults had to be taken to the hospital. Despite broken bones and scratches, the fourth graders proved extremely courageous and our community came together in response to their hardship.

In honor of their fortitude, we, the Transcript editors, would like to dedicate this yearbook to the brave fourth graders, their teachers, and Mr. Austin. Thank you for your courage and for reminding us what it means to be a part of our Collegiate community.

Senior Presentation to David Long

In 2008, the members of the class of 2012 were not the only ones new to the Upper School; Collegiate also welcomed a new Dean of Students. Our class formed an instant bond with Mr. Long; his office became the “freshman lounge” during activities period and any study-outs. Mr. Long isn’t just the scary guy you face in Disciplinary Court.

He is the type of teacher who gets involved with every aspect of student life. Whether he is coaching soccer and track, heading environmental and pep club, or getting students fired up about Teddy Roosevelt, Mr. Long does everything with passion and inspires students to challenge themselves beyond just academics. Thank you so much, Mr. Long, for always keeping your candy bowl stocked and encouraging students to do their best in and out of the classroom.

176

Transcript Dedications 2011 Transcript Dedication to Linda Bilderback

Ask any high schooler who the queen bee of Collegiate is, and they will answer with certainty. “Mrs. Bilderback, of course.” Linda Bilderback has always had a profound impact on the high school experience for countless current and previous Collegiate students. Throughout our years in Willig Hall, Mrs. Bilderback was always ready to offer candy, organize college applications, or just have a conversation. Her office became an escape from the sometimes hectic day of any Collegiate student. Despite the Queen Bee’s recent move to a different hive, she will always be a very special member of our Upper School family. Thank you, Mrs. Bilderback, for being such an unforgettable part of our years at Collegiate.

Senior Presentation to Tim Williams

The seniors would like to dedicate the yearbook to Tim Williams. Mr. Williams has been at Collegiate for nine years and is known to many as not only the athletic director, but as “Coach.” He is known for coaching the boys’ varsity basketball team to their first win over St. X in school history. During his career, Collegiate boys’ basketball advanced for the first time to the semi-finals in districts and to the regional state basketball tournament.

When not coaching the guys, he is always found supporting all school sports through his attendance at games. Thank you, Mr. Williams, for all you do, and you will be greatly missed next year. We wish you the best!

2010 Transcript Dedication to Wendy Martin Throughout Wendy Martin’s twenty-nine years at Louisville Collegiate School, she has been a devoted teacher, coach, and friend. Whether she is on the field hockey sideline coaching her Amazons or teaching her students how to play big-ball soccer, she brings enthusiasm and heart to everything she does. Her spirit is contagious, and she never fails to inspire us. Thank you so much, Coach Martin, for being there every step of the way through our years at Collegiate.

Transcript Dedications

2009 Transcript Dedication to Señora Graciela Ensenat

Señora Ensenat has been an amazing teacher, advisor, and friend to all of us on the Transcript team. No one understands how much time and effort she puts into the production and completion of the yearbook. She puts up with all of our “drama” and still manages to click the submit button on time. She is the most gracious, dedicated, and loving person we have ever been advised by and we love her to death. After years and years of devoting her time to the Transcript, we would like to dedicate this year’s Transcript to Señora. ¡Te Queremos!

Senior Presentation to Ms. Melissa Chipman

Never get into an argument with Ms. Chipman: she will win, and you will be left pondering exactly what just happened. Unwavering in her beliefs, Ms. Chipman embodies a role model far past its mere definition. She is brave during the darkest of times, determined in her efforts, and forthright with her opinions. In her classroom, she demands well-deserved respect. Her lessons exceed the curriculum, encouraging her students in all aspects of their lives. Despite her petite stature, her commanding presence has left an indelible mark on our class. The senior class of 2009 dedicates this yearbook to Ms. Chipman, our teacher, our mentor, and our dear friend.

2008 Transcript Dedication to Mr. Simon Stern

From his unique sense of humor and math jokes to his outstanding bus-driving skills, Mr. Stern has made a huge impact on the Louisville Collegiate School community. Every athlete can count on him being at their games, every student can count on becoming masters of math by the end of the year, and every member of the Collegiate community can count on him being levelheaded and trustworthy no matter what the situation or circumstance. Mr. Stern dedicates himself entirely to everything he does, and students follow his lead. Mr. Stern, thank you for not only being an exemplary teacher, but also an amazing leader and example to everyone.

Senior Presentation to Mr. Rick Haas

Whether he’s teaching middle schoolers geography, engraving young minds with their constitutional rights, or bravely conquering Sliding Rock during Interim in North Carolina, Mr. Haas enthusiastically does it all. Year after year, Mr. Haas’s students return to his secondfloor classroom for political debates, homework help, encouraging advice, or just to say hello.

So, thank you for your dedication, warmth, knowledge, advice, passion, and friendship.

Class dismissed.

178

Transcript Dedications 2007 Transcript Dedication to Mrs. Glenda Bumpas

This year, the yearbook staff would like to dedicate the yearbook to Mrs. Glenda Bumpas. Mrs. Bumpas, we have all known and loved you throughout our Middle School years. Although your unconventional teaching style (some of us recall you reprimanding one student over the head with her grammar book...) challenged us, you pushed us to be better students and better people. It is because of you that there shouldn’t be any grammatical errors in this yearbook, and it is because of you that we have developed our passions for learning. Your undeniable perseverance and patience have made you the wonderful teacher that we all know and love. None of us will forget The Caveman Story of grammar, and you have brainwashed us to forever repeat, “which one, what kind, how many, how much.” Thank you for all you have taught us and hopefully will continue to teach future students.

Senior Presentation to Mrs. Linda Bilderback

This year, the senior class dedicates the yearbook to Mrs. Linda Bilderback. Mrs. Bilderback, thank you for being our “Mom.” Where would we have been this year if you hadn’t been there to organize our college applications, kick underclassmen out of the lounge, mentored us through conversations in your office, and just in general be the Queen Bee? Most of us have known you since freshman year and have counted on you to provide us with support through the trying times of high school. Next year at college will be difficult, and we will try to continue on in our lives without your wise guidance. Mrs. Bilderback, on behalf of all of the seniors, thank you for being there for us through all of our problems and accomplishments.

179

Transcript Dedications 2006 Transcript Dedication to Mr. Peter Benedict

Mr. Benedict has overseen the halls of Collegiate’s Middle School since 1999, and every minute of his time has been worthwhile. Mr. Benedict is the kind of leader that any school is lucky to have. His door is always open, he has a fantastic sense of humor, and he has a certain presence that takes charge in any situation. Mr. Benedict makes an effort to support every person in the community. Any school would be lucky to have him, and the Transcript staff wishes him nothing but good fortune as he takes over new reins in Ohio.

Senior Presentation to Señora Hardy-Webb

An engaging teacher and an encouraging friend, Señora Maria Hardy-Webb leaves an indelible mark on the Collegiate tradition. As a veteran of the Language Department, she has taught Spanish for eleven years with an unwavering dedication and an everbrightening smile. She has broadened our horizons and opened our minds both in and outside the classroom, cultivating in all a desire for excellence and a compassion for others. She embodies the spirit of Collegiate and awakens it in those she touches. Her enthusiasm inspires, her charm enlivens, and her warmth uplifts. In turn, we, the senior class of 2006, dedicate our Transcript to Señora Maria Hardy-Webb, who has equipped us for a world without borders and a life without bounds. ¡Te Queremos, Señora!

2006 Transcript Dedication to Mr. Brian Johnson Through entertaining morning meetings and creative loudspeaker announcements, Mr. Johnson has never failed to keep Collegiate’s Upper School alive with school spirit.

His constant tales to teach the students about awareness issues have always made a difference. Above all, he has a lighthearted way of connecting with his students and making every situation into an opportunity to learn. Mr. Johnson will always be present in the hallways of our school as a strong leader and teacher, though he will be taking a new position next year in the mountains of Colorado.

Transcript Dedications

2005 Transcript Dedication to Madame Moran

The Transcript 2005 staff wishes to dedicate this yearbook to Madame Moran. She has been our Chair of Foreign Language Department, yearbook advisor, and taught French for all of 8 years. We have spent countless hours under her guidance and will always remember her energetic personality. Merci!

Senior Presentation to Ms. Heather Grant

It takes a lot to teach our class the reproductive process in a small windowless room of Tropus without laughing, but somehow Ms. Grant managed to accomplish the task and to do so much more for our class and the Collegiate community. Through the 10th grade Integrated Science, various other activities, and Dauphin Island, Ms. Grant has humored us with her dry sarcasm and quiet demeanor. Nonetheless, her impact on us has been anything but subtle. So let’s have one last round of applause for a great teacher, motivating coach, and our favorite little marine biologist.

2004 Transcript Dedication to Board of Trustees

The Transcript 2004 staff wishes to dedicate this yearbook to Louisville Collegiate School’s board of trustees for its leadership in completing Collegiate’s master plan.

Under the careful guidance of the Building Committee of the board, Collegiate embarked on providing an environment equal to the excellence of our students and faculty. The board of trustees raised millions of dollars in their Capital Campaign to fund Collegiate’s campus-wide renovation. All the construction and the loud noises remind us of the board of trustees’ commitment to Collegiate’s journey.

Senior Presentation to Brittiney Wish Bevin

Louisville Collegiate School’s senior class dedicates Transcript 2004 to our classmate Brittiney Wish Bevin. She tragically passed away in a car crash last September. Brittiney was a great person and a wonderful friend. She will be loved and missed by all of us. She will live in our hearts forever.

Transcript Dedications

2003 Transcript Dedication to Mr. Derrick

Collegiate has many qualified and helpful teachers who offer support and guidance to all of the students. Over the past four years, the Class of 2003 has had one teacher in particular who has touched us all. Mr. Derrick is a compassionate and dependable mentor. Whether it was algebra, geometry, pre-cal, or physics, he added a unique aspect to every class. Now, as we leave, Mr. Derrick will be leaving also. We will all miss you and please remember that, wherever you are, you will always hold a special place in our hearts. The Class of 2003 is honored to dedicate this year’s Transcript to a wonderful teacher, a dedicated coach, a great advisor, and our true friend, Mr. Derrick.

2002 Transcript Dedication to Housekeeping, Kitchen and Maintenance Staff: Mike Pomfrey, Nancy Yenawine, William Boyd, Kenny Logan, Mirsad Mustafic, Larry Clarke, Robert VonAlmen, Mike Basham, Mike Keith, Dave Havard, Shirley Keith, Bob De Witt, Ernestine Foster, Ron Pumphrey, Edna Hill, Tammy Ernst, Ron Kelly, Brenda Koch, Liza Caldwell When we speak of the Collegiate community and our positive environment, our thoughts turn often to teachers who have challenged us and coaches who have encouraged us.

While we pursue our lofty goals and ideals, there are other members of our community who give a different and equally significant meaning to our positive environment.

These persons strive daily to provide us with a safe and clean facility and a variety of dining options. Their commitment to their work is equal to that of administrators, staff, faculty, and students, yet that work often remains unnoticed and underappreciated. They brighten our days and make all of our jobs a little easier, whether it’s by keeping the vending machines full of Snickers or helping us set up an all-night game of Capture the Flag. The Transcript staff wants to recognize the spirit and dedication of these special and tireless members of the Collegiate family. With grateful appreciation, we dedicate this yearbook to our housekeeping, kitchen, and maintenance Staff.

Senior Presentation to Mr. Robert Garvey

Collegiate’s Math Department is marked by a diversity of teaching styles, but Mr. Garvey’s classes have forever raised the bar for “alternative” methods. Almost every student in the Upper School has shot a homemade rocket with Mr. Garvey, or performed a “clam Clap” for a peer, or tolerated lousy Laffy Taffy jokes. We will never forget our geometry teacher. We will miss you G-man. With a final Garvey cheer, the Class of 2002 is pleased to dedicate this year’s Transcript to Mr. Robert Garvey.

182

Transcript Dedications 2001 Transcript Dedication to Mr. Paul Butler

Collegiate is blessed with intuitive people. Everywhere you look, you can find someone who knows a lot about something. But in a place where learning and education can be thick and suffocating at times, it takes more than a display of knowledge for students to appreciate their teacher. An effective teacher or leader must understand his students and project the joy that pervades his vocational passion. Transcript is proud to present the 2001 issue to a teacher who has shared these qualities with Collegiate for the past sixteen years. He is the first administrator to greet a student when he or she enters Collegiate in kindergarten, but his extraordinary influence grows even more as we proceed through the Middle and Upper Schools. He may be ending his long and productive tenure at Collegiate, but his effect on the Collegiate community will last for many years to come. With great honor, and on behalf of every soul touched by this wonderful man, we give Transcript 2001 to Mr. Paul Butler.

Senior Presentation to Mr. Harry Kisker

There are many daily goals and tasks that a senior faces during his or her senior year.

These goals tend to be nerve-racking, enlarging the stress level to an all-time maximum of one’s career at Collegiate. The largest goal, of course, is establishing what future is in store for the student post-Collegiate. Selecting a college can be, at times, an individual course load in itself. There are applications, college visits, interviews ... the list goes on and on.

One man in the Collegiate community helps relieve the senior’s daily angst considerably.

By providing helpful advice, a listening ear, and pounds of pounds of freshly baked Dunkin’ Donuts, the recipient of the senior dedication has gone out of his way to make the seniors’ college searches more enjoyable. The Class of 2001 is honored to dedicate this year’s Transcript to a noble, generous, and loving man, college counselor Harry Kisker.

183

Transcript Dedications 2000 Transcript Dedication to Mme. Françoise Kemble

The knowledge of history helps mold an individual’s morals and ethics. Through history one can learn what to do in a certain situation and what the outcome may or may not be. It is because of the past that we progress and improve upon our current lives. The recipient of the Transcript 2000 dedication has instilled this outlook on history in her teaching, shown great enthusiasm in the classroom, and has exuded this passion for history and its artistic value. Like history, her ability to share the French language and culture is paramount. If a student happens to ask if a test in her class is easy, she will respond simply, “It’s a purple piece of cake.” with a wide smile. This recipient is, hands down, a leader in Collegiate’s community, a wonderful teacher, and a great friend.

Senior Presentation to Ms. Martha Calderwood

There are some teachers who command a special level of respect. These teachers don’t have to verbally demand it or punish students who don’t show it. These teachers make us work and guide us to excel without our ever knowing. Over the past 13 years, we have been fortunate to have many of these teachers. These individuals have become friends who genuinely care about our futures. Marti Calderwood inspires the scholar in all of us. Her passion in the classroom, her persistence in explaining those seemingly impossible things, and her tireless devotion to this school and to these students make her a perfect representative of why Collegiate is an incredible place. Her presence so late in our Collegiate careers is the perfect punctuation to what has been an amazing education. Next fall we will leave these people whose understanding and patience has supported us through some of the most tumultuous phases of our lives. While Ms. Calderwood will not be there to share advice, Oreos, and infinite wisdom, she will be forever in our hearts.

184

Transcript Dedications 1999 Transcript Dedication to Mrs. Nancy Clark

We proudly dedicate the Lower School Transcript to Mrs. Clark, counselor since September 1972. Collegiate was a girls’ school when Mrs. Clark first began, and weekly dance classes were the norm! She has seen us through many changes, nurtured us through growing pains, and loved us as her own children. We love you, Mrs. Clark, and wish you health and happiness in your retirement.

Senior Presentation to Sarah Moran

Sarah Moran came to Collegiate just two years ago. She has been much more than just a teacher in these two years. Her contributions in and outside the classroom are equally amazing. Her regular volunteer work throughout the community is outstanding. Even though she was not assigned to advise the yearbook when she arrived at Collegiate, she took it upon herself to help ensure its success. In addition to her work in the French classroom and her other commitments, Mme. Moran spends countless hours to help make the yearbook a quality production. From teaching new staff members how to design and edit, to sharing photography and design ideas, she does this and much more with very little recognition. However, we want to make it known that we appreciate her help and influence more than we could ever express. Working with Mme. Moran has been a true privilege.

185

Transcript Dedications 1998 Transcript Dedication to Jay Selvig

When Mr. Selvig first walked through the doors of the Upper School as head of the boys’ division in 1982, Collegiate was very different from the institution we know today. In 1983, he was appointed Head of the Upper School. Under the guidance of Mr. Selvig, the Upper School has become a more cohesive community while maintaining a strong academic focus. As Mr. Selvig departs from Collegiate this year, he will be remembered for his intense lessons in Advanced Biology, his enthusiastic support of Collegiate’s athletic teams, his good-natured direction of Upper School morning meeting, and his genuine concern for students during advising, conferencing, and tutoring. But most of all, Mr. Selvig will be remembered for the dedication with which he led and served the students of the Louisville Collegiate School. Mr. Selvig, in recognition of your sixteen years at the Louisville Collegiate School, we proudly dedicate Transcript 1998 to you.

Senior Presentation to Ms. Suzanne Kosfeld / Mr. Burgess A. Davis

Throughout our journey through school and life, many people have influenced the senior class of 1998. Our parents have been a constant and invaluable source of support. With laughter and with tears, we look back on two parents who devoted themselves to Collegiate and expressed their support for family and friends. Ms. Suzanne Kosfeld and Mr. Burgess A. Davis left us suddenly but always have been and always will be with us in spirit. Ms. Kosfeld contributed imagination and strength to Collegiate. She was an integral part of our day-today life. Her dignity, fierce determination, and faith influenced everyone around her. She served as president of Parents’ Council, was a substitute teacher when needed, a member of the Fine Arts team as accompanist, and a mother. Suzanne Kosfeld was a diminutive woman with a young spirit behind her smile. When the stress of day-to-day life crowds us, recalling her sense of humor helps put things in perspective. She left us having accomplished many things in her life. Her strength and determination has greatly influenced our actions and will continue to do so in the future. Mr. Davis was dedicated to the Collegiate life. He was part of many of our lives since we were young. A proud ‘Zon Dad, he attended all of the Collegiate musical programs, all of the hockey games, many of the basketball games, and worked every year in the class booths for the Fall Festival. He was very proud to be involved in every aspect of Collegiate life. He loved the students and respected the faculty for their knowledge. As a father and a friend, Mr. Davis was willing to do anything for anyone. He left us knowing he was a prominent figure in all of our lives. We, the class of 1998, remember with reverence the determination and hope which Ms. Kosfeld and Mr. Davis shared with us. We are thankful for them and appreciate the influential role they had in our lives. The senior class of 1998 is honored to dedicate the 1998 Transcript to Ms. Suzanne Kosfeld and Mr. Burgess A. Davis.

186

Transcript Dedications 1997 Transcript Dedication to Ms. Amy Currie

Since June, Ms. Currie has been an integral part of this year’s Transcript staff. Her meticulous attention to detail provides a stabilizing force demanding high quality from both our layout and photography staffs. Currie brought a critical eye, a strong voice, and a persistent Internet presence to the staff, but more important, she brought her enthusiasm and heart to this book. On behalf of the entire Transcript staff, we thank you and are honored to dedicate Transcript 1997 to Ms. Amy Currie.

Senior Presentation to Mr. Paul Butler

The class of 1997 has a record sixteen students graduating after thirteen years at Collegiate. Our class’s cohesion is due in part to the foundation laid our first six years under Mr. Butler’s careful eye. Mr. Butler exemplifies the good in Collegiate as he always acts with his students’ best interests in mind. A rare individual with kind words for most any occasion, Mr. Butler’s grace and consideration serve as a fine model for any Collegiate student. The class of 1997 is proud to dedicate their Transcript to Mr. Paul Butler.

187

Transcript Dedications 1996 Transcript Dedication to 1995-1996 Parents Council Executive Committee: Jan Pfeifer, President; Janet Levitan, US VP; Joanne Dillon, MS VP; Gina White, LS VP; Barbara Arensman, Secretary; Ann Davis, Treasurer; Maggie Linger and Tina Sanderlin, Fall Festival Co-Chairs This committee, along with many parent volunteers, provides help for many of the enriching activities that take place within the Collegiate community such as Fall Festival, Interim, Fine Arts, Field Trips, Assemblies, Foreign Exchange Students, along with publications such as Transcript, Pandemonium, and Wordworks.

Senior Presentation to Mr. Charles Jackson

Thirteen years ago, when the Class of 1996 entered Collegiate’s kindergarten, a higher power looked upon the assembly of five- and six-year olds and proclaimed, “At some point in your Collegiate careers, a man will enter your lives and change them forever. You will know this man by his offbeat sense of humor and his amazing technological prowess.

Do not doubt me, my children—he shall arrive!” Youngsters that we were, we could not fully interpret that message at the time. Only now do we realize that our deliverance arrived in the form of Mr. Charles Jackson. C. Jackson began teaching at Collegiate during our freshman year. For many of us, our first experience with him came in geometry class, where we noted not only his first-rate teaching, but also his rather strange wit, which produced observations on life somewhat south of normalcy. By the end of the year, however, one saw that C. Jackson was gazing into the computer lab with a big dream in his head: he wanted to make Collegiate one of the region’s technological leaders. Since our sophomore year, we have had the privilege of watching C. Jackson turn his dream into reality. The introduction of a school-wide computer network, electronic mail, and Internet access are just a few of the feathers in his cap. But C. Jackson was not content that Collegiate simply have first-rate technology: he made sure that the entire Upper School grasps the benefits of the technological development around us. As we seniors fulfilled our computer graduation requirements, we experienced C. Jackson’s magic one more time. For all of us, he blended helpful criticisms like, “Stop that, you Swine!” with an honest dedication to the art of teaching. He has educated us in tomorrow’s technology with an extraordinary level of wit and vigor. In four short years, both the senior class and C. Jackson accomplished many great things. While we leave Collegiate with a mixture of joy and regret, we are confident that C. Jackson’s technological legacy, which we saw unfolding before our eyes, will endure. We, the senior class, dedicate the 1996 Transcript to a visionary individual and a true swarthy knave, Mr. Charles Jackson.

Transcript Dedications 1995 Transcript Dedication to Mrs. Carolyn Morgan The main goal of the Transcript is to publish a quality yearbook. Collegiate’s yearbook must have creative layouts, continuity, style, and originality. This goal could not have been achieved without the unique talents of Mrs. Carolyn Morgan. She continually helps to create exciting and artistic pages to add flair and distinction to the book. We could not do without her unfailing time and effort. On behalf of the yearbook staff, we dedicate the 1995 Transcript to Mrs. Carolyn Morgan.

Senior Presentation to Señora Gisela Diez

As we leave the maroon halls of Collegiate, we collectively look back with appreciation on Gisela Diez. Sra. Diez has played an important role in all of our lives, even those who were not privileged enough to be in her class. Señora did not limit her concerns to the classroom. Through her sincere interest in global issues and her own personal experiences, Señora has been able to open the minds of the Upper School. We love her not only because of the concrete things that she has done for the school, but also for her genuine care and interest in us. Señora is a woman of strong moral character and, throughout the trying times of the past three years, her involvement with us has never waned. Señora finally garnered a ground-floor room for this, her eighth year, after having been stuck in the depths of the basement for the previous seven. Now she will vacate that room on the same day as we all leave. We, along with the entire school, will miss Señora, and we promise to cherish her moodiness, if she promises to forgive our delinquency. Thank you, and, although you will never find a group of cooler students, good luck in Asheville.

Transcript Dedications 1994 Transcript Dedication to Ms. Barbara Buddeke

Every year the Transcript staff has trouble finding the perfect pictures to capture all the activities at Collegiate. Many times we are a week away from a deadline and we are stuck without any pictures. Ms. Buddeke always seems to come to our rescue; without her generosity and numerous rolls of film, the yearbook would not be what it is. On behalf of the Transcript staff, the 1994 Transcript is dedicated to Ms. Barbara Buddeke.

Senior Presentation to Mrs. Linda Bilderback

No one at Collegiate ever realizes how much Mrs. Bilderback does for students until he/she is a senior. Daily, seniors walk into her office saying, “Oh, was my college application due yesterday?” Or, “Can’t you just type that for me?” Mrs. Bilderback does everything and more. This year the class of 1994 dedicates the yearbook to our superhero, Mrs. B. We want her to know how much we appreciate everything she has done for us and how much we will miss her next year. Many thanks and much appreciation! The Class of 1994.

Transcript Dedications 1992 Transcript Dedication to Mr. Kevin Jackson

Throughout the past three years, Mr. Kevin Jackson has contributed greatly to the Transcript staff as Photography Advisor. Guiding us to improve our photography and the overall quality of the Transcript, Mr. Jackson has helped us meet deadlines on time, taking the extra time to teach us to capture a year at Louisville Collegiate School on film. His work has helped us produce a fine and attractive Transcript. With much appreciation, the 1992 Transcript staff dedicates this year’s book to a deserving Mr. Kevin Jackson.

Senior Presentation to Mr. Hendricks

We, the class of 1992, bequeath our dedication to Mr. Hendricks in memory of our twelveyear relationship. We were his youngest class, mere first graders, when this fledgling teacher came to Collegiate. Since then, he has proven to be one heck of a teacher, as well as a longtime friend. He taught us to do silly (but useful) breathing exercises before singing and to play that underrated classical instrument, the recorder. Mr. Hendricks also introduced us to “cool” music like the Violent Femmes, the Clash, R.E.M., the Ramones, and the Psychedelic Furs. (We always bragged to our envious friends in other schools about our “with it” music teacher.) We left his class after ninth grade and now miss his relaxed teaching style. At least we still see him in the halls and hear his dry humor. Year after year, in class and in program practices, Mr. Hendricks has been unflaggingly patient, despite our antics. We not only like him but also admire him. He is an accomplished pianist, guitarist, director, and vocalist. His musical knowledge is endless. For all these reasons and more we cannot include in this space, we recognize and thank Mr. Hendricks for a wonderful twelve years.

191

Transcript Dedications 1991 Transcript Dedication to Gary Conklin

No one has done more for the 1991 Transcript than the yearbook advisor, Mr. Conklin.

From photography to layout, he was involved in all aspects of yearbook production, never hesitating to spend extra time designing a page or snapping a picture. It is Mr. Conklin’s imagination and creativity that make possible the sweeping changes in this year’s book. He encouraged staffers to try new ideas and techniques, always offering his help and support. Putting together a yearbook takes enormous time and energy, and Mr. Conklin’s hard work made this Transcript possible. We, the 1991 Transcript staff, are proud to dedicate this yearbook to Mr. Gary Conklin.

Senior Presentation to Martha Calderwood Long

Mrs. Long came to the Collegiate community in 1989, and in two short years her presence has inspired and motivated students to improve their writing skills and reading comprehension. Believing in the value of individual attention, Mrs. Long always arranges her busy schedule to accommodate students’ needs. Out of the classroom, Mrs. Long plays the role of trusted advisor and friend, offering her support and care to those in need.

Because of her kind and endearing warmth, her staunch support, and her phenomenal teaching, the Class of 1991 lovingly dedicates the 1991 Transcript.

1990 Transcript Dedication to Mr. Jay Selvig

Always ready with a handshake, Mr. Selvig is a friend to everyone in the Upper School.

He knows what each student is up to and cares about the extra-curricular as well as the academic activities of each student. Mr. Selvig congratulates us in our victories and comforts us in our defeats. As Head of the Upper School, he keeps us organized and on task. We truly appreciate his sense of humor, compassion, wit, and dependability.

192

Transcript Dedications 1989 Transcript Dedication to Helen Longley

Fond Farewell. Mrs. Helen Longley has been an outstanding member of the Collegiate family for 26 years. She has earned the respect and admiration of all those associated with her. She has shared her knowledge and experience with numerous history classes and has spruced many dull lessons with her humorous little excepts of information that she has gathered in her many voyages around the world. Mrs. Longley deserves the recognition she has received, because she has been an intricate part of the Collegiate system. We will miss Mrs. Longley both in and out of the classroom. Her caring attitude is one that the students appreciate and depend on in times of need. We bid Mrs. Longley a fond farewell.

1982 Transcript Dedication to Miss Wendy Martin

There have been only rare instances in Collegiate’s history when an individual, new to the faculty, has contributed so much, so quickly. Her sense of humor, her enthusiasm, and her easy-going attitude quickly earned our friendship and trust; her knowledge and skills and her sense of fair play, our respect and a special place in our hearts. For encouraging us to do our best and for always being there when we needed a friend.

1982 Transcript Dedication to Mr. Douglas MacKelcan

Becoming a new member of an old tradition is not an easy task, but Mr. Douglas MacKelcan did not seem to be hindered by that. Before school even began, the seniors were called to a conference with him to allow an informal introduction to what was ahead. Mr. MacKelcan continued an interest in each of us and seemed to always know what we were feeling. Although the class of 1982 is very small, our complaints, problems, and fears were never-ending. Mr. MacKelcan always found the time and lent an ear for listening.

Transcript Dedications 1981 Transcript Dedication to Mr. Geoffrey Butler, “The Big Being�

For his ability to be authoritative and still remain a friend, for the mutual respect that exists between him and the students, for the delightful sense of humor he brings to his classes, for his thoughtfulness to others, for his ability to adapt himself to a multitude of roles, for his enthusiastic participation in all aspects of school life, for the sense of fairness that pervades his decisions, for the interest he takes in all members of the Collegiate community, for the numerous occasions he has gone out of his way for us, for the example of honesty he sets in his daily life.

1981 Transcript Dedication to Mrs. Dorothy Gilsdorf

For the past twenty-five years, the superior music program at Collegiate has been achieved primarily through the efforts and dedication of one talented lady. Not simply content with good teaching methods, she has searched continually for innovative approaches. As befits a professional, she is interested in and open to new developments in her field. The result has been a tradition of excellence which many envy and few can surpass. For her guidance to us, for her high personal standards, for her concern for us as individuals, for the personal satisfaction her instruction has brought to hundreds of Collegiate students, for her encouragement to us to do our best.

Alumni Association Leadership The 1921 Transcript records the first organization of the alumnae of Louisville Collegiate School with the stated goal of establishing “a feeling of friendship and co-operation.” The first 18 alumnae also warned, “Just watch us grow!” Today the association has grown to include approximately 1600 living alumni, including graduates and associates, from 1936 to 2015. Alumni have for nearly 100 years been at the center of the school’s success. Once again an alum serves as the chair of the board of trustees, four of his colleagues serve with him on the board, and alums serve in leadership capacities for both the Centennial Celebration Committee and the Second Century Campaign. Collegiate is a school whose graduates celebrate their past while working tirelessly to transform education for the next generation of graduates.

The purpose of the Parents Association is to support the well-rounded education of Collegiate students by providing volunteer and financial assistance to the school. The organization seeks to promote open communication between the administration, teachers, and parents and to assist the school in fulfilling its mission. Every Collegiate parent is a member of the Parents Association.

Collegiate Fundraising Leadership Throughout Collegiate’s history, volunteers have stepped forward time and time again in support of the school. Annual events such as Collecting or Gala were led by highly committed parents and alumni in an effort to ensure that Collegiate would continue to provide an exceptional educational experience for its students. These fundraisers also connected the school to the broader Louisville community, engaging individual and corporate leaders as partners in the work of the school.

Endowments Collegiate is the beneficiary of twenty-five Endowment Funds. Each was established by individuals, small groups of friends, or families seeking to honor beloved members of the community, meet specific programmatic needs, or more generally provide greater long-term financial stability for the school.

In every case, the funds make it possible for the original gift to grow in perpetuity, providing an everlasting legacy.

Unrestricted Endowment Income from unrestricted endowment is available for general purposes. Yearly amounts are determined by the Board of Trustees Spending Policy.

Collegiate Endowment for Scholarships Collegiate established this fund in 2007 in response to a call to action by Collegiate parents, faculty, and friends to increase the availability of scholarships for qualified students.
