Summer 1972 MA Montage by Montclair Kimberley Academy

SOUP DU JOUR With this issue of the Summer Notes, the Montage ends its second year of publication with the invaluable assist ance, intelligent and forthright, of the Editorial Advisory Board. In an impor tant respect, the shape of this magazine has evolved through their guidance, in passing conversations, notes and letters and in meetings, through the ideas and the enthusiastic introspection and re sponsiveness of these seven gentlemen. I thank them very much: Director of Development, Art Littman, President of the Board of Trustees, Bud Redpath. alumni, Bob Muller and Dallas Town send, and faculty, Nixon Bicknell, Nick Childs and Bob Just. As you will read on page 8, Art Littman has left the Academy to assume the Presidency of the Lankenau School in Philadelphia. The immeasurable im pact of his practical and direct judg ment, leadership and supervision has brought a sense of discipline and order to the job of being an editor which I could never have tried to master as thoroughly on my own; the enjoyment and extraordinary capability with which he worked under the motivation of self-challenge have been largely re sponsible for the recent growth of the Alumni Association; it will be difficult to adjust to his absence. For the last two years, this Association has been led by Bob Muller, who has been succeeded as President and member of the Advisory Board by Walt Sperling and who is now the Alumni Representative to the Board of Trustees. Bob's attentive care, his insight and sense of humor, have dis tinguished his leadership and his very loyal efforts on behalf of the Academy and its alumni. And so I thank these seven gentlemen for the impetus of motion and direction which they have provided in our at tempts to best interpret and present the many aspects of the School and its alumni body. editor: fritz jellinghaus editorial advisory board: alumni members: waiter j. sperling, jr., m.d.

RANDY RYAN:

Besides receiving a wonderful education at Montclair Academy, I value most highly the friendships I have made with both students and faculty. Being such a small school, the Academy offers a congenial atmosphere to each student and I have thoroughly enjoyed working with my friends during my six years here. Since seventh grade, I have witnessed many transitions taking place. The acquiring of student leadership and re sponsibility has progressed to such a point as to provoke a great interest among the student body. This interest has developed into an enthusiastic spirit that has permeated the entire School. Responding well to this newly-acquired responsibility, students have taken the initiative to direct and control the future plans for many of their clubs and organizations. 1 feel that the application of this power of leadership has brought to light a sense of being conscious of our fellow humans and I am happy to sde such organ izations as the Key Club and the Urban Affairs Club participate in many service projects. Without a doubt, the Academy has a wealth of services and opportunities to offer each student. Fine athletic facili ties enable the active engagement in interscholastic compe tition. Science laboratories open unknown worlds for ex ploration. With an interested and talented faculty, the Academy instills a certain curiosity in each student that inspires him to pursue his own objectives in a creative and enthusiastic manner. This relationship between masters and students has very much attracted me to the School; extrahelp sessions or just the opportunity to discuss a problem with a teacher are very valuable and necessary aspects of mutual understanding between faculty and students. During my junior and senior years, I was a member of the Student Admissions Committee and 1 often had the chance to conduct tours of the campus with prospective students and their families. While conducting these tours and describ ing the daily life of the School, 1 would realize how proud I was to have attended the Academy. I will never forget the many experiences I have had and I only hope 1 can employ the knowledge gained here in a beneficial manner. I am very grateful to my teachers and fellow students for the valuable and memorable educational experience 1 have had at the Academy.

BRUCE POLLACK:

My experiences at the Academy during the last six years have occupied a major part of my life. A substantial portion of every day was devoted to school and to homework; yet I do not regret my years spent here. I am extremely grateful that the Academy has helped prepare me for college as well as it has. Probably the most important product of my education has been learning the ability to think, the capability of analyzing difficult problems or studying complicated material. Most importantly, the Academy has not only taught me to be diligent in school work, but also in all other aspects of my life. And I feel that the School and the faculty have im measurably contributed to the strengthening of my character. Aside from academics, I have also benefited a great deal from the athletic program. Although I have never considered myself to be an outstanding athlete, the small size of the program has given me the chance to participate and, with the aid of my coaches, to excel in two sports. The small size of the School, the close and personal attention, has also given me the chance to be involved in extracurricular activ ities, as an active member of several clubs A final influence which the Academy has had on my life is the formation of many meaningful friendships. I certainly hope that several of these relationships with both teachers and students will not end with Commencement.

CRAIG MAGINNESS:

Six years at the Academy seem like a long time to a seven teen year old. It has been more than a third of my life and its effects will be as far-reaching as any other event. When first undertaking the task of writing this piece, it seemed easy to recount these six years; but my memories are so many that it has become impossible to write anything approaching a complete assessment. Many people who see the Academy for the first time remark about the buildings, the gym is beautiful, the theatre is wonderful. The most important part of the School which they do not notice immediately is the people who really make the School. The faculty is willing to reach out to the students, the administration is willing to listen and the students are willing to learn. And all of this transpires, particularly so, in the last two years, in an atmosphere of mutual ease. I still remember being allowed to wear only pastel-colored dress shirts, now replaced by flannel in the winter and golf shirts in the heat of the spring. I still remember "pants check" and "hymnal checks" and silent, proctored study halls, filled with an overbearing air of tension. But now, with students on the Faculty Committee on Educational Policy and the FHeadmaster's door truly open, students learn more than the power of a detention. I guess that the real test of any decision is whether or not I would make the same choice if I had the chance. I can say for sure that I would have no reservations in reliving my experience of the last six years.

N ICK ALESSI:

Raquel Welsh is not yet a member of the student body at the Academy, but nevertheless, morale has improved greatly at the School; in this past year. During my four years here, I have noted importanm changes in School activities and policy whichmave accounted for the renewed school spirit. This year's rSiaxed policy on hair length and the dress code, as well as the mew 3:00 p.m. dismissal time, are in part the key to the new spirit. But the year cannot really be discussed without the mention of the closeness between students and fllu lty . A more fraternal relationship between them seems toffie much the order. Informal discussions between students and masters now seem quite common place in the hallways at any time of the day. Insofar as the educational values are concerned, the Academy is greatly improving its already solid program of studies,. This year marked the beginning of "mini courses/' ranging in subject from Freud to advertising to film making. The program was a great success and should become even stronger in the future. jHnnovatidrns such as the "mini course" program have made me realize the value of my education at the Academy; and the skills and study habits I have developed are priceless.

commencement: concentrating on the seniors On June w th , the Academy.; held its eighty-fifth Commencement and c o b * ferred degrees on fifty-two seniors, who will be entering sgHfages and univeS sities across' the country in September. For th|g|first time in many years?/ there wasjlidt a main Commencement a d d iilll but rather a focus on the Senior Com mencement Speech/ delivered thif^year lly Head BoSGIenn C. Veit. "It has been the ds|i||ion of the fac ility/'' HeadmasieS; Philip L. Anderson announced, "to dispense with the main addresJgi during our Commencement. Although it has been a tradition at the Academy,Tor many years, we feel fhat its purpose now hajü become more selfsewing than essential and that the real ourpose of Commencement P to honor ©ur new graduates and their families and to listen to their Bflections about what the Academ^ experience hawmeant to them. OuH young people today are highly introspective and expressive and it seems to -q® poBonger accurate to assume, that our seniors are sheltered and need to be sent out into the world with last-minute words of wisdom." 4

To attempt a characterization of the lllass of 1972§|s to guarantee oversimpli fication: its'dBersity defies definition, «■ s a collection of fifty-two staunch, sometimes stubborn individualists, formed loosely into interest groups or social cliques, but without fragmenting ^xclusivi%7; it is a clilectiora of com petitive partiigipawts and leaders in cl||ss, in athletiKMn ail -activities. The Class of 1972 . contains the largest group of intel ligent, incisive thinkers ir§/a number of years; it is Biaracterized by its humanity and it# dedication — by its commitment tcMhe School and tcmts larger commun ity. Especially noteworthy, .perhaps, is tlfl: Class's development of a positive, coheft/e slfo o l spirit that surpasses that rnf any class in recent years: not blind allegiance, certainly, but loyalty which # a function oiintelligence and unHfsual: maturity — loyalty which grows out of a healthy mixture of probing skepticism and responsiveness to reason. In the end, the Class of '72 should not be spoken about, ^ B lh o u ld y ^ and doesT-r- speak for it s e lf » is a class with many voices, varied in tone and volume, but all strong and confident and thoughtful. loseph R.

For those not so fortunate as to be in England on the Summer Program's travel-study venture, reading " Romeo and Juliet'' alongside the coolness of the Thames River, there are several outdoor classrooms like the above, carefully placed in the wooded hillside behind the Academy to afford at least some comfort of shade and fresh air to those involved in the Summer Studies on the home front.

festival

changes: faculty and staff

On May 25th, the opening festival in this first year of the Academy's Fine Arts Department was presented in The Weiss Arts Center, beginning with a student art exhibit and featuring a multi-media production of the well-known Civil War epic poem, "John Brown's Body." The multi-media presentation involved ex tensive and versatile use of lighting, slides and music, with choral interludes sung by the Glee Club; all of which carefully complemented the rather stark interaction of the six characters, played by Academy sophomores, juniors and seniors. The play, directed by English master Robert R. Just, author and co producer of last summer's Academy theatre production, the "Itch of the Witch of W ur," was an adaptation of the epic poem which explores America's volcanic history during the Civil War and its divisive issue over slavery, begin ning with John Brown's attack on Har per's Ferry and ending with the post w a r start of the Industrial Revolution. Assisting Mr. Just were Nixon Bicknell, Fine Arts Department Chairman and also Director of Music, Calvin H. Matzke, Director of Art, and sophomore Brian Thomas, Stage and Lighting Man ager. The Fine Arts Department was formed this year to encompass the full programs of art, music and drama.

A year ago at this time, Headmaster Philip L. Anderson announced the ap pointment of then-Director of Studies J. Stevens Bean to the newly-created position of Assistant Headmaster, Mr. Bean was succeeded as Chairman of the Science Department by C. Laurence Piersol, Jr. and, although he has also left behind the title of Director of Studies, he continues to act in that capacity. Last September, under the Academy's first faculty sabbatical grant, Mr. Bean left the School to complete his studies for a Doctor of Education degree in educational administration at Rutgers, the State University. Although he did not officially assume his full duties as Assistant Headmaster until July 1, 1972, Mr. Bean continued his involve ment with the Academy throughout the year and, in particular, as Director of this year's Summer Studies Program. He graduated in 1962 from Bowdoin Col lege and, after receiving his Master of Arts degree from Brown University, he spent one year working there toward his Doctorate of Physics degree before com ing to the Academy in 1964. The Academy's second faculty sab batical leave was granted to English Department Chairman, Joseph R. Kerner, Jr., who left the School on July T for a year to pursue a Master of Arts degree

from the Department of English Lan guage and Literature at the University of Michigan. Mr. Kerner joined the Academy faculty in 1959 and left in 1964 to teach in Istanbul, Turkey, for two years until he returned to the Academy in 1966 as Chairman of the English De partment. Since 1966, he has been a member of the Admissions Committee, the Faculty Committee on Educational Policy, the Director of Testing and the Chairman of the Faculty Library Commit tee, serving as well as the Director of the Summer Studies Program in 1970 and 1971, and as the Chairman of the English Division of the New Jersey As sociation of Independent School Teach ers for the last three years. Mr. Kerner graduated Cum Laude from Princeton University in 1959. Replacing Mr. Kerner in his year's absence will be G. Wells McMurray, II, a Cum Laude graduate of Princeton University in 1966 and re cently an instructor in literature and composition at the State University of New York at Binghamton. "Our faculty sabbatical program be gan last year," said Headmaster Ander son, "and was designed to offer mem bers of our faculty the opportunities of further study and travel, related to their individual academic disciplines. We are very happy to be able to offer this to members of our faculty and we feel that it serves not only to enhance their own intellectual sophistication, but also to improve the overall faculty and ultimately benefit the students." Also leaving the Academy this year is Director of Development C. Arthur Littman, who will assume the Presidency of The Lankenau School, an independent school in Philadelphia, in August. It has been under Mr. Liftman's five years of developmental -leadership at the Acad emy that the $5.3 million Capital Gifts Program was completed, rebuilding the Academy and expanding its elementary annex Brookside School, that the Endow ment and Deferred Giving Program was begun and that the Annual Giving ef forts have reached historic heights. His new work at Lankenau encompasses the responsibilities of overall adminis tration and direction of the 82-year-old School, as welfflas the fund-raising and public relations. Mr. Littman is a grad uate of PMC Colleges, with later grad u a te study in business administration at the University of Delaware. In 1962, he returned to PMC as Assistant Director of Admissions and as Director of Alumni and Parent Relations. He came to the Academy in 11967 and, in addition to his activities as Director of Develop ment, he initiated and developed sp many alumni programs, acting as the behind-the-scenes impetus for the growth of the Alumni Association, that he was presented with Honorary Alumni membership at the Alumni Annual Dinner last April.

trimester When the school year begins in Sep tember, the Academy wilh no longer operate within the academic structure of two semesters, but rather for the |%s® time on a trimester calendar. After four months of deliberation by members of the facultly, and consultation with The Kimberley School on the basis of the coordinate program, the decision was made to divide the year into three equal terms. The special study committee was led by Chairman Allan D. Penner, English master and Academic Coordinator for the 10th, T1th and 12th Grades in the absence laslpiyear of Assistant Head master J. Stevens Bean. "The major rea son for this change," Mr. Penner said, "is to encourage the faculty to design more short-term courses and thus fur ther diversify our curriculum. The tri mester schedule, as well, tightens up what used to be the fairly choppy month of January between Christmas vacation and first semester exams."

are conscious and proud of the heritage of their culture and thoughtful about their early adjustment atmhe Academy. Some of their thinking is expressed in the two following self-portraits.

dwight ford, junior:

academy black students two perspectives There are twenty-three black students now at the Academy;'¿eighteen more than in 1966, twenty-three individuals whose accomplishments range from being honored with the National Achievement Program Award for Out standing Negro Students to being recog nized for athletic prowess, individuals whose many interests lead them to activities from playing chess to news paper writing. Generally, as a group, they

Throughout!! my high school career, I have been strongly influenced by many opinions from my parents, friends and my own conscience. These influences soon helped me to form my own opin ions concerning personal experiences and life in general. In coming to the Academy from Mont clair High School, my first impression was of an ultra-conservative student body in dress, attitudes and interests. I also expected to have relatively no black companions with whom to discuss any obstacles or questions I had about the School. When I arrived, I found that these impressions were not true. Opin ions among Academy students ranged from conservative to ultra-liberal and, with regard to the black students,, they were very close and informed'about the School, educationally, athletically and socially. Still, in leaving Montclair High School, I felt that I was abandoning my friends and should be ostracized from the large clique of which I was a mem ber. Feeling rejected, I did what I could to compensate by trying to make myself adjust to my new surroundings. After one year of near desperation, it became apparent that many black stu dents and friends stumble into these pitfalls when first arriving at the Academy. To try to ease this adjustment the Or ganization of Black Students was formed, the first chartered ethnic group in the School. In addition to the problem of adjust ment, there are also concerns about the

curriculum. Students should learn about and experience an entire spectrum of American life, not simply that portion which relates to themselves. Black his tory and literature have done much to contribute to the formation of this coun try and, in an effort to explore those contributions, the Academy will offer a course in Black Studies next year. As the well-known Marcus Garvey remarked about history in 1923: Be proud of your race today, as our fathers were in the days of yore. We have created a beauti ful history and we shall create another in the future that will astonish the world.

kevin moore, sophomore: I can remember that, as a seventh grader at the Academy, I had two prob lems: first, I was new and, second, I was the only black student in a class of sixtyfour students. Things are quite a bit different now. I was lonely in the seventh grade and sometimes felt depressed at not really being able to talk with other black stu dents because there were only eleven and they were all upperclassmen. In the eighth grade, three more black stu dents came to the Academy and, as we learned more and more about the School, we came to know the black upperclassmen. It was in the ninth grade that things began to change. Three more black stu dents entered the Class of 1975 and, since others have come into the seventh and eighth grades and few have been in recent graduating classes, there are now twenty-three black students at the Academy. The Organization of Black Students was formed with careful plan ning with our faculty advisor and other black students. It has brought us closer together and helped to make our initial adjustment a little more easy.
