An Education for Life

It is a matter of considerable amazement to me that, because of a bookstore encounter with members of the McCallie chorus here in Cambridge, Mass., in March 2004 to participate in a concert, my dormant connection with McCallie School became alive. I have greatly enjoyed that renewal which is nurtured by the alumni magazine, which in its new form is even more outstanding than it was in its former structure.

Two articles in the last McCallie alumni magazine caught my attention especially.

The first was “Room To Grow,” which exuded a spirit of warmth, friendship, security and diversity of community. The second was “The Art of Biology.”

My cousin Dayton O. Hyde, known in his native Oregon by his former rodeo name of Hawk, is busy currently trying to save the wild American mustang. He is doing this project in South Dakota. Before his involvement with the mustang project, he was a cattle rancher in Oregon. His ranch, Yamsi, is in Chiloquin, Oregon, a bit north of Klamath Falls. (Yamsi can be Googled!) Hawk is an environmentalist with a passion.

I’ve been to Yamsi – a beautiful place which is now both a cattle ranch and a limited resort. The fishing is beyond belief – river and lake. I even found a Modoc arrowhead while wading in the river which flows near the main house on the ranch.

For me, finding the arrowhead was more of a pleasure than the fishing. It reminded me of finding arrowheads in the fields of north Georgia in the springtime and of finding bullets from the battlefields near Chattanooga.

a new series of alumni events that have

The concept of McCallie After Hours was born in Atlanta, where, because of the city’s sprawl, alumni often found it difficult to make it to centralized gatherings. So that

city’s alumni association developed a series of informal neighborhood get-togethers, and the idea was so popular that it’s already spread to Charlotte, Birmingham and Chattanooga.

Taylor McElroy ’91 helped organize the first After Hours event in Birmingham, which is in the early stages of developing an alumni association. Over 20 alumni attended. “Because it wasn’t in somebody’s home, it gave it more of a relaxed social environment,” McElroy says. “It seemed like people were talking and enjoying themselves, and it’s great having something like this where it’s not an official McCallie event or a fundraising event or anything formal, but

just a chance to see other alumni.”

Nick Wilkinson ’96 used the same concept to start planning a series of informal events for young alumni in the Chattanooga area. “I think it’s an awesome opportunity for local young alums to get together and try to establish even more community,” he says. “We’re going to try to do one event every few weeks to provide encouragement to local young alums to come out and interact with the school and with each other.” ■ Host your own After Hours event!

Forging New Connections This winter McCallie’s African-American

Student Alliance held its first homecoming event, with over 60 alumni, faculty, current students and parents in attendance.

In addition to providing an opportunity for fellowship and reconnecting with McCallie, the event featured two guest speakers: Cal Fussman, contributing editor for ESPN the Magazine and author of After Jackie: Pride, Prejudice, and Baseball’s Forgotten Heroes and Dewon Brazelton, a professional baseball player with the St. Louis Cardinals.

Tarrell Whiteside ’90 found the event was just a starting point for building connections between current students and alumni. “[African-American students] have

more opportunities now as far as attending McCallie and getting into leadership roles,” he says. “Some of us alumni are doing great things and want to help them stay motivated and stay on the right path to get to where we are or beyond.”

For Whiteside, who was one of the founding members of the Black Student Union during his senior year, this event also represented a milestone for McCallie. “I spent part of the evening just sitting back with my classmate T.J. Gordon ’90, in awe of where it is now versus where it was when it began almost 20 years ago,” he recalls.

“There were probably 12 of us that were really involved in the Black Student Union

Photography by Richard Barnes

Intelligent Design Other Alumni Reads In his introduction to the recent volume of essays he compiled and edited, Tim Culvahouse ’74 reminisces about childhood trips to his grandfather’s riverfront farm north of Chattanooga. The drive to the farm, which had lost nearly 1,000 acres when Watts Bar Dam was closed in 1942, crossed the dam itself and wound through a verdant landscape that had been intimately shaped by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA).

Many years later, as an architecture student, Culvahouse ran across a list, compiled by

the American Institute of Architects (AIA) in honor of the nation’s bicentennial, of structures that architects had nominated as the finest architectural examples.

“It was interesting and striking to me that the only thing listed in the state of Tennessee was the Tennessee Valley Authority,” he says. “I was then in architecture school and I’d always loved Watts Bar Dam, but I’d never connected the two things and thought of TVA as really good architecture. Ever after that I’ve been interested in the TVA.” When he began to think about putting together a book on the subject, Culvahouse decided to draw on the expertise of colleagues in his field. He has served as head of the department of architecture at Rhode Island School of Design and associate dean for design and architectural

studies at California College of the Arts, where he is still an adjunct professor. He also manages his own consulting firm and serves as the editor of arcCA (the journal of the AIA California Council) and as a board member for Public Architecture, a nonprofit group.

The Tennessee Valley Authority: Design and Persuasion includes essays from professors, architects and historians who write with expertise about the ideology of the structures and landscape the TVA created in the wake of the Great Depression and how their design affected public perception of these developments.

Culvahouse was particularly grateful for the contributions of Steven Heller, art director for the New York Times Book Review, who explores the TVA’s graphic design campaigns to promote its projects, and of Howard Baker ’43, who wrote the volume’s afterword and contributed one of his own photos of Norris Dam.

6 | s p r i n g / s u mm e r 2 0 0 8

Culvahouse and his colleagues began working on the book several years ago, beginning with a group field trip to far-flung TVA sites in 2002. He has made several subsequent trips with photographer Richard Barnes, whose photographs illustrate the essays.

“I learned a lot from the folks I worked with,” he remarks. “Probably the part that I understood the least is how carefully worked out the landscapes are, that you drive into Norris Dam and it isn’t by accident that you go through the woods and by the old mill building and come around the corner and there’s the dam. It’s all sort of a story they’ve made.

“That’s the premise of the book itself, how significant the decision was that the TVA directors made to devote effort and resources to design, both in making good stuff and in showing that to the public.”

He adds, “And I learned a lot about how books get put together…” ■

These volumes by alumni authors have recently been added to the McCallie library’s collection.

Music & Medicine Dr. John Starling ’58 has always been a physician, first and foremost. However, his hobby has led him to some of country music’s most prominent stages and collaborations with musicians like Emmylou Harris, Ricky Skaggs, Linda Ronstadt and Dolly Parton.

The Seldom Scene, active in the Washington D.C. area in the early 1970s, was made up of musicians who all had other full-time jobs.

Dr. Starling left The Seldom Scene in 1977 when he moved to Alabama to open his own medical practice.

When Dr. John Starling ’58 was a student at

McCallie, he knew that he would become a doctor someday. During that time, however, the seed was also planted for a hobby that would eventually flourish in unimaginable ways.

“I was interested in music from a very early age, and it was always a hobby,” Starling remembers. “When I was at McCallie my parents gave me an electric guitar for Christmas, but I didn’t play it that much.”

Instead, he focused on his studies, eventually ending up at the University of Virginia Medical School. It was there, in the mid1960s, that his interest in music finally took deeper root. “All of a sudden the folk boom was in,” Starling says. “We had pickin’ parties in Charlottesville. We would sit around and play music for fun, which is all it ever was to me.”

After medical school, Starling did an internship at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C., and spent a

year serving in Vietnam before returning to Walter Reed for a surgical residency. At the same time, some old friends from those pickin’ parties were looking for a singer.

“We decided to put together a little band to play one night a week in a club, and that’s how it all got started,” he says. The band, named The Seldom Scene, was made up of members who all, like Starling, had other full-time day jobs. The band performed on the Washington circuit and recorded several albums. “The nice thing about the period I spent in the band was we had no idea we were doing anything that anybody would care anything about down the road,” Starling says.

During the band’s early years, Starling met and collaborated with many other musicians. “Emmylou Harris was playing the clubs at that same time,” Starling remembers. “I became very close friends with Emmy and have stayed that way over the years.”

McCallie magazine |

In 1977, Starling moved to Alabama to open his own medical practice, leaving the band. In that same year he recorded his first solo album, Long Time Gone. Harris sang on nearly half of its songs. He went on to record other solo albums in 1979 and 1991.

Throughout those years, medicine always came first. Starling never toured to promote his records, and even after he moved back to Virginia in the early 1990s and re-joined The Seldom Scene, he quit again when music began to conflict with his work.

Old music connections have led to some pretty good gigs over the years, though.

Starling consistently performs on Harris’ albums, and in 1987 he joined her, Linda Ronstadt and Dolly Parton on the Grammy-winning Trio album. “The best part was working with great players I’d looked up to for years,” he says. “I got to meet Jackson Brown – I was amazed by that. It was probably the most famous thing I ever did, and it was a lot of fun.”

8 | s p r i n g / s u mm e r 2 0 0 8

As for the highlights of his formal career, Starling appreciates having been able to serve others through medicine. “When you do things for other people, it’s priceless,” he says. “I enjoyed the intellectual challenge of medicine as well as its altruism.”

Since Starling retired from medicine in 2005, music has once again come more to the forefront. His 2007 album Slidin’ Home pulled together a group of musicians, under the name Carolina Star, that includes two other original members of The Seldom Scene. Starling and the band have performed at the Newport Folk Festival, Merlefest, the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival and the Grand Ole Opry.

Looking back, Starling knows that he’s experienced the best of both worlds. While his love of music has led him to exciting venues and collaborations, he says: “I was lucky that I never had to worry about making a living at it. I just feel fortunate to have been involved with it.” ■

Carolina Star, the band that played on Starling’s 2007 record Slidin’ Home, includes three members of the original Seldom Scene. The record also features a guest appearance

by Starling’s good friend Emmylou Harris on Gram Parson’s classic tune “In My Hour of Darkness.”

FUELING CHANGE When sophomore James Hines signed on to

McCallie’s biodiesel fuel program last year, it was still more concept than program.

James took it upon himself to find out more about what it would take to create quality biodiesel at McCallie. “Now with my own research, you could say that I’m kind of the resident expert on biodiesel,” he says. “I try to learn as much about it as I can.”

It turns out that making fuel isn’t too difficult. “There’s not actually that much labor involved; it’s just a large amount of time and expertise,” James says. “In come vegetable oil, lye and methanol, and out come pure biodiesel and a small percentage of byproduct known as glycerin,” he says. “It’s the old adage of spinning straw into gold. We’re able to take used cooking oil – this nasty, grungy old stuff – and turn it into usable diesel fuel for about 75 cents a gallon.”

This year the program has moved into its own designated space in the maintenance department, complete with an “industrialscale reactor” (a repurposed water heater) that has the potential to convert 50 gallons of fuel per week. James hopes to begin fullscale production of biodiesel when the fall semester starts.

“The only real concern about biodiesel is that it is actually so clean that it will break down the sludge that’s built up in an engine, which can clog the fuel filter,” he explains.

“When you think about it, it’s not actually that much of a problem since we’re cleaning out our engines and may even get higher mileage because of it.”

In James’s view, there’s really no reason not to be making biodiesel. “This is something that makes all the sense in the world to do, but you have to go outside your comfort zone to actually do it,” he says. “But it’s part of the McCallie community and doing your part to help the greater good and reach a larger goal. We could throw this perfectly good vegetable oil out and just let it sit in a landfill somewhere, but the fact is it could be doing something so much more useful right here at home. That’s the way I see it.”

LIFE IN THE MIDDLE While some leadership organizations have

deep roots at McCallie, one of the newest acknowledges the school’s younger leaders.

The Middle Men, a group of 15 eighth graders, have taken on a strong leadership role in McDonald Hall.

Elected by their peers at the end of seventh grade, the Middle Men are in for a busy year: they pair up with new students, give tours for prospective parents, lead the Pledge of Allegiance, introduce guest speakers, read scripture readings during assemblies and sometimes offer devotionals of their own. This year’s group undertook several service projects – writing letters to

McCallie magazine |

soldiers, providing Thanksgiving food for an HIV/AIDS center and working with GPS on a creek clean-up project.

While these are visible ways for the Middle Men to impact the community, their greatest strength is in being able to blend in with their peers. “The thing that I find the most helpful and enjoyable is interacting with other students,” says Mac Caldwell. “I like helping new students get accustomed to the way things are at McCallie so that when they’re older they’ll be prepared for whatever’s ahead of them.”

During the summer, Middle School Counselor Cindy McCroskey trains the Middle Men in peer mediation, skills she hopes the boys will put to use in the hallways, the classroom or the locker room.

“We’ve all had instances where someone has come up to us, whether it’s as simple as a homework question or a relationship question or how they’re feeling,” Mac says.

“Being on the Middle Men is a sign that other people see and say, ‘I can go to that person.’”

While the Middle Men take their role seriously and view it as an honor, they are remarkably humble about their role. “I don’t want to act differently because I was elected into the Middle Men,” Mac says. “I just try to act the way I’ve been made, whether that brings out mischief or something really good inside of me.”

BUILDING COMMUNITY Some of McCallie’s most popular community

service groups are managed and organized by student leaders.

Junior Ethan Ott has overseen McCallie’s Habitat for Humanity chapter this spring, including completion of the eleventh McCallie/GPS house in May. Having served as a member of the chapter’s executive board, Ethan knows that it takes much more than lumber and nails to build a house.

During the year, Ethan helped organize events that spread awareness about Habitat. He arranged dinners with local citizens who have experienced homelessness and received Habitat homes. His fellow members of the executive board also focused on fundraising and recruiting volunteers.

Ethan enjoys the way Habitat spreads leadership opportunities to a variety of individuals. “One thing that’s so great about it is that there are so many different roles you can fill in Habitat,” he says. “You can be somebody who goes out to build; you can be somebody who does things behind the scenes; you can be somebody who cleans up the stadium on Friday nights during the fall (a Habitat fundraiser); you can help out with the pledge-per-point fundraiser. There are all sorts of things you can do to get involved.”

Saturday-morning trips to the Chattanooga Area Food Bank also draw a regular

group of volunteers. Juniors Alex Dillon and Alex Babbitt divide up the responsibilities of coordinating the schedule and recruiting volunteers.

While both boys have always enjoyed participating in food bank trips, they hadn’t realized how much work it took to put them together. They now plan at least two months in advance.

“I scheduled this semester’s dates as soon as we got back from Christmas break, and I had to schedule buses and get a faculty sponsor for each trip,” Alex Babbitt explains. “It’s not something you can do at the last minute.”

CURING CANCER ONE STEP AT A TIME When he returned to McCallie for his junior

year, following a diagnosis of bone cancer the previous spring, senior Joe Restaino decided he wanted to give back to some of the organizations that had helped during his own treatment. So he put together his own fundraiser, a walk to further treatment and research of osteosarcoma.

“Last year, we pretty much winged it,” Joe admits. “But last year’s walk was more about just starting something that could grow. I wanted to start an annual fundraiser and we decided on a walk because we wanted to physically show support for bone cancer research. Our hope is that if it becomes a prominent social event at McCallie, we

McCallie magazine |

can start branching out to the rest of the Chattanooga community.”

On a snowy morning this March, over 100 students and faculty came out for the Second Annual Bone Cancer Awareness Walk, which raised over $8,200 (last year the event also raised over $8,000).

This year’s walk was also organized by Joe, though he returned home this semester to receive treatment for a re-emergence of his own cancer. He was able to rely on the help of many friends on campus: Keo-Kio helped recruit walkers and donations; TEPS held a doughnut sale to raise extra funds and helped set up for the walk; Joe’s brothers David and Tony (both freshmen) publicized the event, and the dining hall donated snacks and drinks.

Based on his own research, Joe chose to split this year’s proceeds between the Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte, N.C., where he has received treatment himself, and the Human Oncology Pathogenesis Program at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City. Donations will fund osteosarcoma research and provide treatment for underprivileged patients.

“Seeing everyone who came to the walk is what the walk portion is all about – people showing that they are willing to do more than just donate some money,” Joe remarks.

“They believe in the cause.”

Y-CAP, the YMCA Community Action Project, is an early intervention and prevention program for at-risk youth. Earlier this year Jeremy was matched up as a mentor and tutor for an eighth grader from Howard Middle School who was failing all of his courses and reading on a second grade level. Because of Jeremy’s tutoring, this young man is now on the honor roll and received Howard Middle School’s award for being the most improved student.

Senior Daniel Boaz and junior Jamie Craven received “Service To Youth” awards from Y-CAP this year.

ARTS Students in advanced drawing class spent several weeks this spring creating a modern mural for Chattanooga’s Ronald McDonald House. Junior Ethan Ott, senior Steven Dama and freshman Sam Hobbs spearheaded the effort and contributed the majority of the design and painting.

Eighth graders joined their dads for a retreat at Camp Alpine in mid-April. Father/son activities included canoeing, games and a ropes course. “We decided to have the retreat to provide an opportunity for fathers and sons to be together in a playful environment,” said Middle School Head Lynn Goss. “Both fathers and sons enjoyed being together and benefited from the experience.”

Students began the day with a breakdown of the summit’s rules and agenda before moving into negotiations and alliances and eventually working to discuss and vote on international trade issues.

Led by economics teacher Skeeter Makepeace with the assistance of several key parent and teacher volunteers, the summit was modeled after a program regularly conducted nationwide. ■

Sean is now the #1 ranked 15-year-old in the U.S. and one of only five 15-year-olds in the country qualified for the Olympic Trials after swimming a 15:52.35 in the 1500-meter freestyle event. He is McCallie’s first swimmer to qualify for the trials while a student.

Additionally, Sean won the 800-meter freestyle race with 8:20.89 and qualified for Senior Nationals in the event.

The Speedo Sectional Championship meet is the fastest sectional meet in the country. In the meet, Sean competed against four Olympians, many swimmers in their early 20s, and eight of the top 15 senior high school boys from across the Southeast.

Making Good Decisions In what started out as a typical senior talk, John Berg spoke about the variety of decisions we make throughout our lives.

However, he then turned his time on stage into a hands-on demonstration of decision-making, challenging Dean of Day Students Hank Hopping (who reminds students at every assembly to “make good decisions”) to a McCallie version of the popular game show “Deal or No Deal?”

Music announced the arrival of 14 GPS girls, each holding a “case” that contained a mysterious dollar amount. Dean Hopping had the opportunity to win up to $1,000 for the ASF, depending on his decisions along the way.

The prize money was fronted by Ward Petty ’80, who attended chapel that day as the game’s “banker.” Throughout the game, he telephoned in from the sound booth

with special “deals” that Dean Hopping could either accept – earning guaranteed money – or reject in favor of pushing his luck by opening more cases. In a dramatic conclusion, Dean Hopping earned a disappointing 1¢ for the ASF, but everyone really came out a winner.

“The energy in the room was amazing,” Hopping says. “I had a lot of people ask me later if it was rigged. It wasn’t. It was just great fun – until the very end. And so far, I’ve had 38 cents in matching funds donated from students. 3800% matching is pretty impressive, from a statistical standpoint.”

“I thought it was awesome,” Petty says. “It was my pleasure to be a part of it; I just loved everything about it.”

Perhaps the best decision of the day was choosing a banker with a generous spirit, who has already made his 1¢ contribution with a little extra thrown in. “It was a foregone conclusion for me that McCallie was going to get the $1,000 no matter what,” Petty explains.

And the show’s host, who had spent nearly two years brainstorming the idea and the flawless execution of its every detail (aided by his twin brother Barton, who was running the sound booth), has earned a good deal of praise for his efforts. “A lot

of people, even people I didn’t know, have come up to say, ‘Hey! Good chapel talk,’” John says. “A lot of people have said they watched it online. I had a lot of fun doing it.”

Battle of the Sexes At the annual McCallie/GPS Senior Phonathon, where students compete to raise funds for their respective schools, the class of 2008 earned a long-awaited victory!

“Over the past couple years, GPS has outnumbered and out-pledged our McCallie guys, making it a bittersweet event,” explains Kim Love, who directs McCallie’s phonathons.

This year’s ten seniors were still outnumbered, but they ultimately earned 20 more pledges than their female counterparts (final score: 62-42). Along the way, they raised over $9,000.

“I thought the experience was extremely fulfilling, because we were helping future students and our teachers just by making phone calls,” says senior Carter Meissner.

“Winning the competition with GPS was just an added bonus.” ■ Supporting the Annual Sustaining Fund doesn’t have to be a competition!

afternoon

When the last school bell rings on any given afternoon, the day is far from over for many McCallie students. Most of them head to athletic practices or extracurricular clubs and activities on campus, but a few students have carved their own afternoon path, pursuing unique independent activities.

Senior Jack Williamson sets his sights

Jimmy Tobin has used his weekend tips to build homes for two needy families in Central America Every weekend, junior Jimmy Tobin, like many McCallie students, heads to the Bijou movie theater in downtown Chattanooga. However, he’s not there to meet friends or catch the latest blockbuster – he’s there to build homes for impoverished people in Central America.

During his freshman year, Jimmy (a boarder from Myrtle Beach, S.C.) began playing his guitar around town just for fun.

He usually made some tips, but, more importantly, he made a lot of friends among other “regulars” downtown, many of whom were homeless. “It was more about the stories than the money,” he says.

Then last year he attended a Sundaymorning service at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church, where he heard a speaker from the non-profit organization Food for the Poor. “He talked about what we could do if we raised money and I said, ‘Hey! I’m raising money right now and I’m not really spending it on anything but pizza,’” Jimmy remembers.

Jimmy began designating his weekend tips for Food for the Poor, though he didn’t tell anyone what he was doing. After almost a year of playing on Friday and Saturday evenings, he had enough money ($3,200) to build a home for a family in Nicaragua.

He chose Nicaragua because that country’s government matches donations for homebuilding programs, so Jimmy actually got to

build two homes for the price of one.

This winter, word of what Jimmy had been doing with his tip money finally leaked out, and soon a story appeared in the Chattanooga Times Free Press. At first, Jimmy was hesitant about this extra attention. “I didn’t really tell many people, because I thought if I told people I was doing it for charity they’d think I was doing it for recognition or to look good on my college applications,” he says.

He soon discovered, however, that the recognition really helped his fundraising efforts. By displaying a copy of the newspaper article and pictures of the two families he built houses for, he has more than doubled his tips since January. By the end of this school year, he thinks he’ll have enough to build more houses. “What I’d like to do now is raise $3,600, which builds the house and sponsors a family, giving them food, clothing and an education for the children,” he explains.

In the meantime, Jimmy has already become something of a spokesman for Food for the Poor, talking to students at other schools about what they can do to get involved.

“I’m really proud of it because it’s the first thing I’ve done independently,” he says. “Because of my many family blessings, I’ve been able to say this was completely my own.” ■

very high in the afternoons.

When he was in seventh grade, his dad bought him a unique birthday gift: a “discovery flight,” or 30-minute intro to flying airplanes. From that moment on, Jack was hooked.

“My great-grandfather flew in World War I, and my dad’s a pilot, so I’ve always been interested,” Jack says. “After that first flight I wanted to do it a lot.”

Jack has been taking regular flying lessons since he was 15 and last year became licensed as a private pilot. He takes to the skies several times a week, usually for an hour or two at a time. He also works after school at a small airport in Hixson, Tenn.

This spring Jack has been flying with an instructor to work on his instrument rating (learning to fly using exclusively the gauges on the plane’s instrument panel). “You wear a hood that covers everything except the instruments, so you can’t see outside,” he explains. “So you have to have a safety pilot with you.”

Jack’s only unexpected airborne adventure occurred one afternoon when he ended up lost while trying to find a small airport. Though the experience gave him a scare, in general he finds flying, with its many safety precautions, to be much safer than driving a car.

He plans to enter Middle Tennessee State University’s professional pilot program this fall, a fast track to becoming a commercial pilot before he graduates from college.

Though he aspires to fly for the military or a commercial airline, Jack mostly loves the fun of taking to the skies. “It’s cool being able to get up there by yourself and escape everything, and it’s really challenging,” he says. “It’s something unique that I like to do.” ■

Junior Boyd Jackson spends many of

his afternoons working on a research project that he helped design through the Chattanooga Heart Institute.

“They’ve just developed a new type of CT scan, but to do it the heart needs to be very regular and slow,” Boyd explains. “So we’re looking at whether oral beta blockers or IVs work better.”

Last year Boyd and Will Pickering ’07 worked with doctors at the Institute to develop and revise questions and procedure.

With the project now in full swing, Boyd gathers data each week from doctors at the Institute (with the help of senior Jonathan Cao). By this summer he should have 150200 pieces of data to analyze. Boyd hopes the research will also lead to a published article of the project’s conclusions, as well as helpful information for doctors around the country.

For Boyd, who hopes to earn both a medical degree and a doctorate in public health down the road, the experience of working in medical research is invaluable.

“The scan gets a three-dimensional picture that the doctors can rotate around and look inside at individual veins and arteries,” he says. “We’ve actually been able to watch a couple of the scans and then go back with the doctors and look inside the heart, so we really know what we’re working for. That’s been a neat experience.” ■

Sophomore Tyler Greene can be found

every afternoon zooming across the wooded trails near his home in Rocky Face, Ga., on his dirt bike.

Tyler began dirt biking last spring and now races almost every weekend. He’s currently racing in the Southeast Offroad Championship Series, participating in an event called “hair scrambles.” His weekend races usually cover a 40-mile course in less than three hours.

Eighth grader Mike Zuppa also enjoys the thrills of an unusual sport. He is the youngest member of a local paintball team that plays in the National Professional Paintball League.

The team practices 8-10 hours a week and travels to tournaments around the country throughout the year.

What does this honor student like best about playing paintball? “Probably adrenaline,” he says. “But I also like all the equipment, to take it apart and see how it works.”

For Mike, his extracurricular pursuits have actually had a positive impact on his schoolwork. “You learn how to manage your time better,” he says. “You have to get all your homework done beforehand.” ■

He is survived by his son Frederic ’80 and two grandchildren.

Many alumni shared memories of Savoy Adamson and Pierre Wagner upon learning of their deaths: “Just last week my youngest daughter interviewed me for a senior project on John F. Kennedy.

Among other things, she asked if I remembered where I was when JFK was assassinated. I told her I was in a study hall proctored by Mr. Adamson when he informed us that the President had been assassinated. Of course,that memory is forever burnished in my memory. I also was a student in his geometry class, which I enjoyed immensely. Memories...some of my most unforgettable ones being those associated with Mr. Adamson, a thoroughly likeable man. I’m sorry to hear of his demise.”

- Turner Howard ’65 “Herr Wagner, besides being a wonderful teacher who cared deeply about his students and about the subjects which he taught, was a true character whom I will always remember fondly. His knowledge of the German language and its grammar was profound. When I went to Germany and began to write academic works in German, what he taught me proved its worth: native speakers would actually ask me about points of grammar, and one scholar, perusing my work, commented, ‘in everything which you write one always notices the abiding influence of a rigorous and very conservative schoolboy grammar book.’ That was, of course, Herr Wagner, a great teacher to whom I owe an enormous debt of thanks.”

- Victor Parker ’84 “Pierre Wagner was among the greatest inspirations to me during my time at McCallie. He taught me the French language, my favorite and best subject, and this opened me up to the world in a major way. I have gone on to live in France, Japan, and visit numerous other parts of the world that I would have never dreamed of during my younger years, and I am truly grateful to ‘Monsieur’ Wagner for the way that he pushed me to achieve and believed in me the whole time, every step of the way.

He also introduced me to the great minds of Camus, Voltaire, and others, and in so doing, he opened me up, across time and space, to the depths of the human heart. After his long, multi-faceted life full of tireless service, it is my wish and prayer that he is now resting in peace. God bless him.”

- Steve Lansford ’84 “I am so saddened to hear of Mr. Wagner’s passing. I had him for French, and at first I was very nervous to be in his class; he was such a sharp, deviously-humorous soul, and it was only by being in his class that I learned how caring and kind he was. I consider him one of the ‘greats’ at McCallie during my era, and I am so fortunate to have been one of his students. I know that he left such a large, wonderful impression on so many people.

of hearing but also a certified great, brilliant teacher. Someone in our Bible class decided to “mouth” an answer he required instead of talkling out loud.

Dr. Woods would put his hand in his coat, turning up his hearing aide. Then upon reasking the question, the student would answer at his utmost level of volume. TEP would smile and turn down the volume.

–Jim Lyle ’49; Faculty ’58-70.

I so vividly remember Professor Spencer

McCallie teaching Old Testament Bible to us in Junior School - probably about 1943 or 1944. Not only could he, in his late 60’s or 70’s, flat foot jump from the floor to the top of a regular desk, but he was a great wrestler. When he taught the story of Jacob wrestling the angel, he played both parts.

He threw a half nelson on himself and wrestled himself all around the room. When the angel touched Jacob’s hip, crippling him, Professor acquired a spectacular limp and showed us exactly how Jacob must have walked the rest of his life!!

–Bill Dietzen ’49

Finally, Mr. Hall told us that it was impossible to draw a circle because a circle, by strict definition, is a two dimensional object. Mr. Hall explained further that any attempt to draw a circle requires the use of chalk, pencil lead or some other material that makes one’s rendering of a circle technically three dimensional. Thus, what was on the board was merely a representation of a circle.

I was completely floored! The discussion then turned to the use of representation in religion.

I wound up studying philosophy with a focus on western philosophy in the Church and I can’t help but blame/thank/implicate Mr. Hall. I won’t even go into Mr. Hall’s explanation of the literal translation of the Hebrew word for “day” as in, “And He rested on the seventh day.”

This continued for the entire class period by the end of which the hapless student had received forty or fifty demerits, and the rest of the class was bent double with laughter at the antics of these two. At the end of the hour, Mr. Strang took his handful of demerit slips, got up from his chair as if to stick them on the nail outside his classroom and then dropped them into the trash instead.

We all loved him for showdowns like this.

Yo Strang came closer than most anyone I

One of my favorite memories of Bible Class

know to manifesting the gentle, kind nature one would hope to see in anyone professing to be a Christian.

I still tell people about what I remember to be the first question on every 7th grade Bible test: “Who was on the Road to Damascus and where was Paul going?”

I laugh when I think about how all of the complicated theology I have read as an adult dissolves in the warm spirit of Yo Strang.

was of a particular student who seemed to always give Yo fits. One week in particular was especially difficult, as Yo sent this student to study hall several days in a row. After this happened over several days, the student came in to Yo’s class, sat in the front row, and asked Yo if he could go ahead and go. Yo asked him where he needed to go. The student replied that he needed to hustle on up to study hall before he was counted absent. We all sat very still and quietly, not knowing how he would respond. After a moment of awkward silence, Yo (and then the rest of us) began to laugh uncontrollably.

–Robert C. Goodrich Jr. ’74

The only class I had under Spencer McCallie was Old Testament. Recently during a move I found the old marked-up Bible used in that class and it really brought back memories. I do recall that Spencer did a very good job of maintaining our attention and it was one class that I actually enjoyed and looked forward to!

–Bill Rogers ’51 I think it was the first day in Mr. Hall’s class,

when he asked for a volunteer to draw a circle on the blackboard. A student went to the board and drew what appeared to be a fairly good circle. Mr. Hall then pronounced that what had been drawn was not a circle and asked if anyone knew why. We tried a slew of guesses like, “It’s not perfectly round?”

John Strang was noted for giving large

numbers of demerits for even the smallest of infractions. The demerits were recorded on a piece of paper and then the paper was stuck in a nail outside the classroom. Mr. Strang was known as John “Stickem” Strang because of this practice, and a student therefore got “stuck” when he received a demerit.

One day in an eighth grade Bible class, a particular student, and I think it was Dick Woods, really got to John Strang, and he started handing out demerits. Every time the student got a demerit, he complained loudly by saying “But Sir!” No sooner did he open his mouth to complain than John Strang “stuck” him with yet more demerits saying “that will be five more.”

Summer Days Are Here Again Though McCallie’s classrooms become quiet

during summer months, the rest of campus is humming from June through August with 18 different camps.

The ever-popular Sports Camp allows boarding campers to enjoy a variety of team and individual sports as well as tournaments and fun activities. Boys have the opportunity to play familiar sports and try new ones for the first time. Sports Campers also enjoy exciting off-campus excursions like whitewater rafting, go-cart racing, the thrills of Six Flags and taking in an Atlanta Braves baseball game.

Here on campus, boys can choose from a number of day camps, beginning with First Camp, for 5- and 6-year-olds. Older campers can also participate in Day Camp, Baseball Camp, Basketball Camp, Lacrosse Camp, Wrestling Camp, Football Camp, Combo Camp (football, wrestling, weights & conditioning) or Sandlot Kids Camp (which helps introduce boys to the joys of physical activity).

Several camps are co-educational: Soccer Camp, Tennis Camp, Sailing Camp, Fly Fishing Camp, Golf Camp, Art Camp and the Debate/Mock Trial/Model U.N. Camp.

Every youngster is sure to find something that interests him or her at McCallie during the summer! To learn more about schedules and fees, visit www.mccallie.org.
