TAKING A LOOK INSIDE OURteLVIG the 1972-73 annual report

S O U P DU JO U R Maybe it's about time, at long last and with fatuous hindsight, to offer an ex planation of this obtuse column title: given that many menus have a soup du jour, no matter how ordinary, and given the versatile smorgasbord of Montclair Academy's life, this column has served simply to introduce the contents of each issue and the evolving function of the overall magazine, weaving together the full community of the Montclair Academy Foundation. The soup du jour introduces the meal. In any case, this is the last time I'll write it. At the end of June, I resigned from the post of Director of Communications and Alumni Relations for the Foundation to accept the position of Assistant to the Director of Public Relations for WHYY, Inc. in Philadelphia, the public broadcasting corporation operating Channels 12, UHF 35 and radio station WUHY-FM for the Delaware Valley. It's a field I'm deeply interested in and an opportunity I felt fortunate to have. In retrospect and, at this point, with reasonably pure objectivity, there is cer tainly nostalgia and indeed a sense of thrill for the Foundation on the verge of new shapes and directions and growth which will expand and deepen all the creative resources inherent to a valuable educa tional experience. I'll miss being a part of the challenges, the energies and creativity, the accomplishments and success which certainly lie ahead and which have been so important a part of my three years at the Academy that it's impossible to back off disinterestedly. No doubt, many alumni feel the same way. Their nostalgia, their interest, energy and skill have unquestionably helped keep the Foundation alive, vibrant and respon sive to the fine future it is carving out for itself now. And so it should be. People may leave a sinking ship, but who isn't attracted to the excitement of productive change and development? We've never done a marketing research study to determine how wide or narrow is the readership of the Montage. But to those who read it now, I say goodbye. And thanks for your friendship, for your inter est in the Foundation and for the role I hope you'll continue to play in molding its future.

°Montclair Academy cFoundatioii ‘Annual R eport To the Trustees For the 1972-73 School Year

The Board of Trustees is pleased to submit to you the following report on the 1972-73 school year. The Founda tion's schools continue to experience a high level of success in achieving their given objective — the mainte nance of excellence in independent education in the Montclair community and the surrounding areas which we have traditionally served. From a broad societal point of view, our mission today is of greater importance than ever before. One simply cannot debate the fact that the backbone of all education in this country is and ought to be a vigorous, free public school system. If that system fails, this will certainly not be the kind of society we envision for ourselves and our chil dren, nor will there remain the kind of environment wherein independent schools can hope to function. Conversely, we must not permit ourselves to become exclusively de pendent upon a state-operated educational system without providing opportunity for choice, alternatives and diver sity. In recent years, some independent schools have en countered failure, three in this immediate area alone, and one need not be reminded of the difficult struggle for survival that the parochial school system presently finds itself in. The responsibility, then, for the preservation of diversity and the opportunity for alternative choice in education rests heavily with those institutions which continue to retain vitality and strength. The recent experience of the Foundation's schools is truly unique. Over the past ten years, we have strengthened and enhanced our position in all respects. The physical improvements speak for them selves. Our annual operating fiscal picture is basically sound. Demand for admissions is strong; indeed, we can

not supply sufficient places for all qualified applicants. Faculty salaries have improved in relationship to our competition, although further progress in this area is re quired. The quality of the student body and the educa tional experience at both schools is at a high level. It remains, however, a fact of life that educational insti tutions never reach a point where they can remain happily stagnant. As you know, we are presently engaged in unifi cation planning with the Kimberley School for the creation of a new, independent school system in this community. It is our firm belief that such an offering will enable us to preserve the best of the traditional values of the three schools involved, while providing at the same time almost unlimited opportunity and facilities for further development and progress. In the past, the Foundation has been successful in meet ing the challenge of changing times because it has been willing to take carefully calculated risks and because those who support its schools have committed themselves to the achievement of the risk goals which we have set for ourselves. Given the continuation of that same spirit, the future of independent education in our community will not merely be limited to survival at our present high level of achievement; rather we can expect to progress on a course of never-ending improvement. W e welcome the changes which will be forthcoming in the immediate years ahead. With your continued support and understanding, we will meet the challenge. Sincerely, PETER N. PERRETTI, JR. '49 President, Board of Trustees Montclair Academy Foundation 1

Headmaster’s Report Montclair Academy It is my pleasure to present to you this report for the 1972-73 academic year. In this 25th anniversary of the Montclair Academy Foundation, the Academy's 86th year and Brookside's 48th, I complete my seventh year as Headmaster in eleven years of association in the Foundation with gratitude for the collective ability which has drawn its strength and wisdom from many talented, sensitive people whose faith in a vibrant educational experience has once again made this an exciting and successful year. It is with this appreciation that I submit to you here some of the thoughts, achievements and challenges of the year just passed.

and distrust, of the old neo-sophisti cation, are gone and replaced by a sincere sense of caring and trust.

is for STUDENTS The student body again this year was highly motivated, assuming widespread responsibilities under their strong and mature leadership. They worked together often and well and made substantive contributions to the over all school life through student publications and an extraordinary range of extracurricular activities, through school and community service programs and through a very productive involvement on parent, faculty and administrative committees, particularly for the American Field Service, the Admissions Department and the Faculty Committee on Educational Policy. With a genuine seriousness and intelligence, the students have assumed responsible roles in the life of the School. One of the most significant and rewarding qualities about our students is their naturalness and their belief in people; the days of inate cynicism

is for COLLEGE The forty-four members of the Class of 1973 will matriculate at many different colleges and universities throughout the country in September: Princeton (5), University of Virginia (4), Antioch (2), Bucknell (2), Colgate (2), Lawrence (2), U. of Hartford (2), Lehigh (2), Franklin and Marshall (2), St. Lawrence (2), Tufts (2) and one to each of the following: U. of Richmond, Lafayette, Fairfield, Lake Forest, Allegheny, Stanford, V . M .I., Brown, Grinnell, M .I.T., Columbia, Wesleyan, Dartmouth, Ithaca, Skidmore, Clemson and Hofstra.

The Class of 1973 epitomized the qualities of naturalness and trust in the student body. They were deeply involved in affairs of their student government and athletic teams and showed sincere leadership in com munity service. Forty percent of them were, at one time or another, on the honor roll, thirteen were recognized with National Merit Scholarship distinction and seven of them with membership in the Cum Laude Honor Society.

is tor FACULTY Our faculty again this year was a most cohesive group, exhibiting fine relationships with the students and a widespread loyalty to the School and its educational objectives. They are a warm and friendly group and many of them assume far-reaching responsibilities.

As we by-passed the middle of the summer hiatus between school years, the faculty and administration assumed slightly different shapes in the wake of several departures and new arrivals. Leaving the administration last summer were my secretary Mary Quigley, Business Manager John Sodoma and Director of Communi cations and Alumni Relations Fritz Jellinghaus. Mrs. Quigley retired from the Foundation after thirteen years of extraordinarily dedicated and highly competent work, in the last ten years as my secretary. There were few aspects of the total life of the Academy that didn't benefit from her interest and dedication. Mr. Sodoma resigned from his post as Foundation Business Manager to assume a new position as Business Manager for The Tatnall School in Wilmington, Delaware. His grasp of the Foundation's financial develop ment, especially during the 75th Anniversary, was of great value to our progress. Mr. Jellinghaus also resigned at the end of June, after three years as the Foundation's Director of Com munications and Alumni Relations, to accept the position of Assistant to the Director of Public Relations for WHYY, lncv the public broad casting corporation for the Delaware Valley. It was under his guidance that our alumni rapport, and overall communication with the Foundation family, was much increased. Several members of the faculty will not return in September. C. Wells McMurray, who was hired to teach English for one year to replace Joseph R. Kerner, Jr. during his sabbatical and who assumes a position in the English Department of The Trinity School in New York; Mohamed Nasr, who leaves us as Art Director to pursue interests in

the field of commercial art. Elliott B. Williams who leaves after two years in our History Department to assume new administrative duties as Upper School Head and History Department Chairman at Phoenix Country Day School. We also lose three part-time faculty members: Latin teacher Eugene C. Mazzola who retires after forty years in the teaching profession; Assistant Librarian Carolyn K. Melcher who leaves to acquire her Master in Library Science degree at Pratt Institute; and our typing teacher Catherine Neil who began full-time teaching in the fall at Montclair High School. As always, we are deeply grateful to these men and women for their talents and energetic hard work for Academy boys. We wish them well in their new endeavors. The following are new appoint ments for the 1973-74 school year: History — Jack G. Rabuse, B.A. Fordham University, M.A. New York University; Robert John Sinner, B.A. Rutgers the State University, M.A. University of Dela ware. Chemistry —* William H. McBride, B.A. Spring Hill College, M.S. Holy Cross College. Reading — R. Schuyler Goodwin, IV, B.A. Yale University. Typing,'Latin and French— Leonia M. Ryan, B.A. Caldwell College. Also returning to the faculty were Calvin H. Matzke, Art Director, who assumed the same post he held before a year's absence pursuing singing and church interests; and Joseph R. Kerner, Jr. who returned to his post as English Department Chairman after a year's sabbatical to acquire his Master of Arts degree from the Department of English Language and Literature at the Uni versity of Michigan. Shortly after Brookside School ended its Commencement exercises, Martha C. Johnson stepped down from her post as Headmistress. Her

decade of leadership of the Founda tion's elementary school evinced a creative and extraordinarily sensitive direction and it was under that leadership that Brookside not only grew and developed substantially, but indeed assumed a prominence in the vanguard of productive and imaginative educational change. We are deeply grateful for her dedicated service to Brookside and feel assured that her successor, Rudolph H. Deetjen, Jr., Academy alumnus in the Class of 1950, will maintain the standards and aspirations which have so vividly characterized the School's development.

is for CURRICULUM The development of our curriculum, under the leadership of the Faculty Committee on Educational Policy, continues to blend a respect for traditional fundamentals and an urge for consistent broadening and in novation. The faculty and its Policy Committee continually meet for the evaluation of educational ideas and techniques. The major academic change this year was the shift from two to three semesters. This has proved enormously valuable by offering the faculty greater lattitude for short term courses and curriculum diversity. Another important aspect of such diversity was our second year of the mini-courses in the English Depart ment, including a range of subjects from advertising and the media to literature and religion and notably the "Black Voices" course, taught by two of our black students. An extension of the mini-course

program for younger students was the series of one-half credit electives, with an equally broad range of subjects including sculpture and graphics, painting and art history, Beethoven, the history of jazz, 20th Century music, abstract algebra and introductory calculus. This year, baroque and classical music, astronomy, meteorology and black studies courses have been added to this growing program of one-half credit electives. The foundation of our academic philosophy is built on quality and versatility. We want to challenge and motivate our students with exposure to the broadest possible curriculum.

is for COORDINATION In its fourth year, the program of coordination with The Kimberley School has brought together large numbers of Academy boys and Kimberley girls for classes in Latin, English, journalism, creative writing and Spanish. In addition, the students at both schools have worked well together on such shared activities as the K/A Play, Talent Show, Glee Club concert and drama productions. Since my Report to the Trustees a year ago, the Montclair Academy Foundation and The Kimberley School have completed a joint study on possible alternative relationships and, agreeing upon a plan of unifi cation for the Academy, Kimberley and Brookside, they formed a trustee Steering Committee. The Commit tee's objective, under the direction of the respective Boards, has been to assure the implementation of a highly intensified program of co ordination between the Academy and Kimberley for the present school year. This has been accomplished and an academic schedule has been agreed upon to offer coordinate courses in every department for the majority of students in grades 9-12, with the combined facilities of both schools available to all students pursuing extra help and participation 4

in the wide variety of extracur ricular activities. In addition to the substantial progress made by the Steering Com mittee, the academic departments of both schools have continued to meet for discussions of philosophy and policy and the students of both schools have begun to study differ ent aspects of student life to gain an understanding of how unification plans would affect such student activities as government, publications and extracurricular programs. We intend throughout the coming months to continue meetings on trustee and administrative levels and to keep our respective constituencies informed as the plans for unification are further developed.

is for SUMMER PROGRAMS As the summer began, the Founda tion initiated a new and expansive Summer Program from June 24thAugust 17th to include a study-tour to Russia, France and England, a two-week outdoor education venture, athletic clinics in basketball and football, versatile workshops in photography and theatre, as well as the traditional programs for sum mer studies and day camp. The Summer Studies again offered opportunities for review and enrich ment in all academic disciplines, introducing a new program in mathematics and foreign languages which enabled students to gain advance standing or complete their requirements in those areas for graduation. The Day Camp offered a full schedule of art, music, ecology, recreation, crafts and day trips to such places as zoos and museums. In its third season, the Summer Company Theatre Workshop outgrew its experimental years and developed into a successful and promising experience in acting and stagecraft skills; the Athletic Clinics also have progressed well and were highlighted last summer by the on scene assistance of a professional basketball star.

The major innovations were the Outdoor Education program, begin ning with a study of camping, canoeing, mountain climbing and general outdoor basics and ending with a 6,300 foot climb of New Hampshire's Mt. Washington and a long canoe tour of the Adirondack Lake region in New York, and the Travel-Study venture through Russia, France and England, attending lectures, plays and schools and visiting museums, cathedrals, palaces and castles.

is for MINORITIES Four years ago, under the direction of the Board of Trustees, we initiated the Community Scholars Program at the Academy to exert a responsible role in helping to solve the nationwide educational problems of minority group children. After an active and very successful career at the Academy, our first Community Scholar graduated last June and now attends Princeton University. This young man's exuberant spirit, his healthy development and personal adjustment exemplify the qualities of success for this Program which we have envisioned. Overall, we are extremely proud of the efforts each of our six boys made last year in their academic work and in the mature and meaningful social perspective they achieved. As in the past, the Program was guided by a faculty committee which offered tutoring and recommendations for specialization and a student com mittee which helped with the tutoring and especially with general orientation. This year, our current five Scholars continue at the Academy and we have initiated the Program for the we will initiate the Program for the first time at Brookside, bringing to six the total number of Community Scholars at the two schools. We are deeply grateful to those individuals and foundations whose financial support has enabled the development and continuance of this important Program.

is for FOREIGN In June, we ended our seventh year of active involvement with the American Field Service Program and said goodbye to Norwegian student Henrik Lerche. It was one of our finest years with this Program and a testimony to the cooperative spirit, energy and talents of the many parents and students who worked so hard to make Henrik's stay with us an exciting and valuable experience. As we said goodbye to Henrik, who had lived with host family Mr. and Mrs. Frederick L. Redpath, we also welcomed a new AFS student from Finland Jukka llmari Luostarinen, who lives with host family Mr. and Mrs. Jeffrey Eastman.

is for ADMISSIONS While many independent secondary schools continue to experience some difficulties with fewer applications, we are pleased to report that the number of applications at each grade level has increased substantially. We maintain our present enrollment policy of about fifty-five students in the 7th Grade so that we may enroll several new students at the 8th, 9th and 10th Grade levels. A full report on our admissions program may be found on page 9.

is for ALUMNI As the last issue of the Montage noted, it was a very successful year for the Alumni Association, under the direction of Trustee Walter J. Sperling, Jr. M.D. '34. In the myriad activities, the Alumni Council, gov erning board for the 1,800 member Association, devoted tireless energy to programs for Annual Giving, for reunions and alumni rapport and for educational programs for students.

It has been through the interest and spirit of the Alumni Council and the many Academy alumni that we have accomplished so much for the School and developed an exciting and involved Alumni Association.

is for DEVELOPMENT Again last year, the main thrust of our fundraising efforts was directed at both the Annual Giving and Endowment Programs. As may be noted from the Honor Roll section of this issue of Montage, more than 600 alumni, parents and friends of Montclair Academy and Brookside School con tributed over $55,000.00 to the Annual Giving Program. The Annual Giving Report on page 35 illuminates some of the interesting facts of this past campaign. The Endowment and Deferred Giving Program, designed around estate and financial planning news quarterlies mailed to more than a thousand alumni, parents and friends of the Foundation, has continued to receive strong emphasis as we look toward long-term support and security for the Academy and Brookside. To ensure the growth potentials of our current endowment of approximately $200,000, the Trustees last January authorized transfer of the corpus to The Common Fund, a non-profit cooperative undertaking of educational institutions to obtain professional management of endowment for the purposes of superior and effective productivity. Over the next few years, we expect to concentrate especially on this Program. A debt of deep gratitude is owed the volunteer workers in last year's fundraising efforts: for the alumni, Tom Aitken '56 and Bill Thompson '33; for the Academy's parents and friends, Chuck Sanders '41 and for Brookside's parents and friends, Peter Burke. Under their guidance as chairmen, crucial funds for the schools' needs were raised from many generous friends of our two schools. The Endowment Program was begun with the assistance of James S. Vandermade '35 and is now under the direction of Frederick L. Redpath, Chairman of

the Board of Trustees and of the Endowment Committee. They, too, deserve thanks for their attention to these important needs.

is for PARENTS Two major groups supported the Academy last year with unequalled enthusiasm and effectiveness: the Parents' Association, under the Chair manship of Mrs. Junius L. Powell, Jr., and the Fathers' Committee, directed by William P. Breen. Both of these organizations sponsor a broad range of affairs for the purposes of raising educational funds, bringing parents together and expanding the students' overall curriculum. The Notes of the School section on page 21 of this issue well describes the many interests and accomplishments of our parents.

is for the END We came to the end of another year with many of the same emotions and thoughts we have had in the past: we are concerned with rising costs and the challenges facing independent education; yet we are also immensely excited by these challenges and much encouraged by the motivating energy of so many with whom we work: our students, faculty and adminis trators, our Trustees and our alumni, parents and friends. These are individuals whose love for our schools, whose strength, wisdom and involve ment are indispensable to the Foundation's existence and, indeed, to its vibrant growth. It was an exciting and rewarding year and we anticipate this year with equal enthusiasm and confidence. Respectfully submitted, PHILIP L. ANDERSON, ADMINISTRATIVE HEAD, Montclair Academy Foundation Headmaster, Montclair Academy September, 1973

Headmaster’s Report Brookside School Young Brooksiders had barely cleared the building when a very refreshing and exhilarating event occurred on this campus, June 11th and 12th. While it was the beginning of summer vacation for many, our faculty had come back together to lay the groundwork for this year, exhibiting the kind of teamwork and communication that would delight any schoolmaster. In those two days we discussed and shared, planned and compared every facet of school life from ideas and objectives to schedules and text books. There was strong agreement on the basics, the non-negotiables of skill building and meeting children's individual academic needs. Review and revision of a minimum curriculum required at each succeeding grade level would continue to be sound academic policy at Brookside; the excitement of enrichment, of new methods and new programs, was also already upon us. One of the new personalities coming to the school was Mr. Francis Foley, a teacher with up-to-date knowledge of manipulative techniques in mathematics and a fresh sense of direction for our older boys' athletics. Mrs. Judy Weston brought dance back to Brookside, specifically for fifth and sixth grade girls, and Mr. Rusty Garthwaite assists both academic and physical education endeavors in the school, bringing a new focus on gymnastics and motor development, along with Mrs. Gelston. Also an exciting science program, assisted by our new teacher Ms. Joanne Abate, will involve lab, classroom and outside activities. Many changes and improvements were under study by various faculty teams as we moved into the fall. Committees will operate in areas of curriculum development and scheduling, testing and evaluation, advisors' system and reporting, and even our dining procedures. Con currently, we hope to enlist greater parental support in certain in-school programs, particularly in activity 6

choices and as para-professional teacher aides. Some significant moves in scheduling have also been implemented. A homeroom preparation time occurs daily between 8:30 and 8:45 a.m. Brief morning meetings bring the entire school together on Mondays and Fridays at 8:45 a.m. as well as the usual Wednesday assemblies. Con tinued emphasis on development and facility in our language are aided by doubling our English periods in Grades 5 and 6. And the special reading readiness and enrichment sessions in the Kindergarten two afternoons per week have become a regular part of the program for our little ones. Plans are afoot to implement student help from Kimberley and the

Academy as well. Vertical develop ment of curricula with departments in those institutions is also high on the priority list as unification of the three schools comes closer to reality. Our ultimate goal will be the continued humanizing of our school. As Jonathan Livingston Seagull remarked, "You have to practice and see the real gull, the good in every one of them, and to help them see it in themselves. That's what I mean by love . . . . " And that's how we feel at Brookside. Respectfully submitted, RUDOLPH H. DEETJEN, JR. Headmaster September, 1973

Statement of Operations and Fund-Raising Programs Shown here are the operating statements for Montclair Academy and Brookside School. In addition are the results of the Annual Giving and Capital Fund Campaigns for the past year, including the Endowment Fund at June 30, 1973. I would like to express my appreciation to the members of the Finance Committee and the administration for their efforts over the past year. Respectfully submitted, GEORGE P. EGBERT, JR. Treasurer, August, 1973 Board of Trustees.

14/HEN THE SCHOOL DOORS O PEN IN SEPTEMBER

GWho’s Tile re? A respectable and rigid distance separates the dancing couples in an old yearbook photograph of a sophomore prom at the Academy more than a decade ago; the boys wear suits and starched white shirts, their hair short, and the girls wear hair a little longer, in tight curls, and their dresses have pleats and flowing skirts. The dancers don't look at each other. Their stiff backs, tightly-cropped appearance and apparent stilted motions don't reflect a warm openness or lack of inhibition, but rather the studied and cautious one-two-three, one-twothree which keeps nervous dancers off each other's feet. Now, of course, an evolutionary decade later, young people who may not dance as much anymore seem driven by an urge to look closely at themselves, at each other and at the widening scope of their environment and experi ences. Because they share so much, growing up is not just chronological, but is often intensely emotional and intel lectual. They are a well-publicized new breed of students. And what a window on the world of their changes are school admissions offices, they who meet students and their par ents day after day for years, talking with them and coming to understand their backgrounds, values, interests, their expectations. There is little doubt of the reliability of ad missions personnel as barometers of student and parent temperament in a culture which places as much faith and emphasis on education as America does. So what's on the mind of an admissions director nowadays? Students. "O ur primary concern/' says John Polhemus, the Academy's Director for the last five years, "is to attract a full student body’ of individuals with varied backgrounds and talents, with indications of achievement and certainly of potential. It's become quite common over the years, more so in boarding schools than in day schools, for financial considerations to affect the enrollment and indeed survival of independent schools. Although we have had occasional downswings in the number of applications, our overall graph is progressively upwards and we are now

pleased with a higher enrollment per grade for the coming year than we have had in the past. We are very anxious to keep our tuition at a reasonable level, we receive sub stantial scholarship funds from generous alumni, parents and friends and we try to be continually responsive to the needs of students and parents in our communities." A study of the changes in these needs over the last decade might unravel, as John feels, new shapes for the means of education but an unchanged desire for the same objectives which have been the raison d'etre of education for many years. "The roles of student and school have undergone certain healthy changes in structure and mechanics, but not so much in the essential directions and objectives," John says. "As students entering the Academy have become more aware and expressive, more mature, self-confident and sophisticated, the administration and faculty have come to new recognitions of their development and heeds and of our own responsibility to adapt. This responsibility demands continuous study of our philosophy, policies and educ ational programs— our awareness, for instance, of the im portance of independent study, of a broader variety in course selection and, for the older boys, of programs which range from exposure to professional careers to seminars about venereal disease. "But surrounding these responsive changes .are still the crucial guidelines of creating the most stimulating environ ment for learning and personal development. We have not changed our basic reasons for existing: simply, to educate, to provide the rudiments for extensive learning, for curiosity and for personal values conducive to responsible and pro ductive contributions in life. Nor really have our students and parents changed their basic reasons behind their interest in the Academy: the applying students hope for close re lationships with teachers and coaches, they want courses to be interesting and varied, they are exerted about participa tion in sports and in a broad range of extracurricular activi ties and they are curious about the food, dress code and 9

amount of homework; their parents are most interested in small classes and personal, individual attention, they are generally hopeful that their sons' potentials will be wellchallenged and that the course load will be full and com plemented with participation in sports and extracurricular activities, though somewhat structured overall to ensure a disciplined seriousness of purpose; parents are inquisitive about educational techniques, anxious for an emphasis on the basics, especially study habits and reading skills, and for evidence of innovation; they believe deeply in the values of a high-calibre education, careful attention to their sons' needs and to the importance of entrance into institutions of higher education which will carry on the same principles of a challenging education and personal development." One of the most important responsibilities of the Ad missions Department is to continually inform the com munity, its educators, parents and students, of the overall educational program and variety of experiences existing at the Academy. Through close work with the Public Re lations Department, the news of the school is conveyed on a regular basis to the public. At a more specific level, the Admissions Department has designed several programs to maintain close and open lines of communication with public and private school principals and guidance coun selors to enable them to best counsel potential independent school candidates; in addition, during the 7th and 8th Grade "Visitation Day" in early November when the public schools have been closed for teachers' conventions, our young students have brought their friends to the Academy for a full day of classes, activities and sports; a month later in December, 5th graders from Montclair's public schools have been invited to the Academy with their teachers to attend performances of the theatre's children's play; an invitational swim meet, a more expansive sports day and the many activities of the summer day camp are all means of intro ducing potential students to life at the Academy. Once the introduction has been made and the student and his parents have expressed an interest in the School, the application procedures begin: forms and questionnaires, interviews and student tours, aptitude and achievement tests (through the Secondary School Admissions Test and through the Academy's own testing program) and finally the meetings of the Admissions Committee, composed of faculty and administrative members who meet four or five times yearly to review applicants. John is convinced of the importance of an early under standing of each boy's character. "Although the testing programs are significant," he says, "and generally an indica tion of a boy's capability, we are also extremely interested in giving every applicant full lattitude to express himself, to talk about his interests, his likes and dislikes. These are equally important indications of a boy's personality and that, after all, is what will give the School its life. "A boy is judged on his potential ability, his current achievement and his enthusiasm for school and community. The Admissions Committee is most concerned that we can successfully help an applicant and that our programs will stimulate his personal and intellectual growth." In a significant sense, the growth of the School depends on the vibrancy of its student body. The Admissions De partment is the lifeline. 10

In one of their many early morning sessions, Admissions Director John E. Polhemus and Headmaster Philip L. Ander son review applicants' folders. Mr. Polhemus joined the Academy faculty in 7967 as a mathematics instructor and shortly thereafter assumed the full duties of Admissions Di rector from Mr. Anderson who had carried over much of the admissions work from his years as Director before becoming headmaster in 7966. Mr. Polhemus additionally assumed direction of the Testing Program and has more recently become Director of Auxiliary Programs, particularly the ex panded Summer Program. After graduation in 1962 from Davis-Elkins College with a Bachelor of Science degree, he taught for three years at South Hunterdon (New Jersey) Regional High School before joining the mathematics de partment at The Peddie School for two years until 7967. During his six years at the Academy, he has spent four sum mers, under a grant from the National Science Foundation, acquiring his Master of Arts in Teaching degree from Tulane University.

Scholarship Aid 1973-4

As the past school year came to an end, the Education and Scholarship Committee of the Board of Trustees met to review the Montclair Academy Foundation's program of scholarship aid for students at the Acad emy and Brookside. They allocated partial aid to thirty-four boys at the Academy for a total of $41,675 and partial aid to twelve boys and girls at Brookside for a total of $8,455. In all, forty-six of the Founda tion's students received beginning in September $50,130, the bulk of which was contributed in this past year to the Annual Giving Program by generous alumni, parents and friends of the Foundation's two schools.

Among his many other interests and talents, portrait painting further substantiates the profound influence Howard Van Vleck has had on the Montclair Academy Foundation. Presented here is a collage of photographs of the portraits Howard painted of three "fathers" of today's Academy, long memorialized for their instrumental impact on the timeless love for learning. It's no mere coincidence that three such great men should have their portraits painted by a fourth.

free-lance photographer V N *

For more than two years, Keith Morton has been exten sively involved in photographic work, beginning in January of 1972 as a lab assistant with the New York photo processing house, Modern Age, joining Eris-Marie, Inc. several months later as a photographer and finally breaking out on his own for entirely free lance work. It is this last move which has taken him into product and industrial photography, portraiture and publicity work (notably as photographer for Brendan Byrne in his New Jersey gubernatorial primary campaign). His travels from Maine to Virginia have produced a series of photographs which were on exhibit in January, 1973, at the Colonial Players Theatre in Annapolis, Maryland, and which have since been distributed for sale in a variety of craft and book shops on the East Coast. Keith is a 1971 graduate of Lehigh University. He lives in Montclair.

THE NEW YORK TIMES, SUNDAY, APRIL 15, 1973

A Return to Morality By Spruille Braden How can any American contribute to building an adequate defense in the face of an ever-expanding inflation, resulting from forty years of governmental extravagance on vote-luring bureaucracies? One of the major and least productive ex travagances, foreign aid, amounting to astro nomical billions of dollars, has injured the peoples receiving it as much or more than it has the American taxpayer. The dollar, once the backbone and sturdiest of all cur rencies, now is floundering in a slough not of despondency but of devaluations, and is shunned by many countries. In 1953, when addressing the Foreign Policy Association, I blasted the Bretton Woods Conference sponsored by our Gov ernment. I said it was “a conglomerate of Keynesians, Communists, some fellowtravelers and other misguided or ignorant souls” who agreed “to put good U.S. dol lars into a pot with a miscellany of other currencies.” They flaunted a fundamental economic principle, that bad money always drives out good. All we humble citizens can do is cry: '“Look out!” Only with a reasonably sound and stable dollar can we buy essential materials for de fense, such as copper, iron and petroleum. Already we are confronted with national energy shortages. Without copper from Chile and oil from Venezuela the U.S.A. and its allies could not have won World War II. I submit that our defense is threatened on this count alone. The Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral Zumwalt, recently declared that we have lost control of the Atlantic and Mediter ranean. Only by some sort of legerdemain can we hope to control Far Eastern waters for as long as another five years.

Presently we are outsubmarined and outcruisered by the Soviets, who now also are building aircraft carriers. Starting in 19J9 we permitted the Soviets to gain control .over Cuba, only ninety miles off our shores. These threats to the defense of our land result from our mishandling of the Bay of Pigs and the missile crises plus President Kennedy’s agreement with Khrush chev guaranteeing that neither would the U.S.A. invade Cuba nor permit it to be invaded by anyone else. This last mentioned iniquitous deal tore in shreds the Monroe Doctrine—the most brilliant diplomatic and security measure ever taken by any nation. Already the Israeli Foreign Minister has declared publicly that the United States has sunk to the status of a second- or thirdrate power. While President Nixon wants and is try ing to build an adequate defense he is blocked by Congressional and other doves along with an assortment of misguided idealists, leftists, fellow-travelers and Com munists. Every citizen’s help is essential if he is to obtain the requisite finances and authority wherewith to maintain both man power and all varieties of armament at sanely secure levels. The armed forces must somehow revive and emulate that esprit de corps, discipline, courage and loyal patriotism our P.O.W.’s demonstrated so nobly when they landed at Clark Air Base. The Department of State must also return to disciplines, authority and procedures that can quickly stop those who are attempting to destroy professional proficiency by converting the Foreign Serv ice Association into a kind of labor union. Defense and foreign policy must be based on a renewed popular morality, willingness to work and pride of craftsmanship by em ployers and employes alike—all of us must

stop trying to get something for nothing, and put an end to repeated strikes, slow downs and sit-ins so fundamentally injurious to our nation, ourselves and our defense. For many years I have emphasized at every opportunity that the gravest threat facing humanity—despite all the other evils 1 have listed and which extend throughout the world—is not nuclear warfare. It is the breakdown in morality everywhere. I further hold that the worst of all immoralities is Communism, which only respects physical force greater than its own. Foreign policy necessarily may be altered according to circumstances, time and place, but certain immutable principles must al ways outweigh “policy.” These principles are: I. Respect is the sine qua non of all foreign relations. Irrespective of every other consideration and under all conditions, the U.S.A. must demand and receive respect. II. The sole reason for being of the State Department and Foreign Service is to protect and advance the legitimate interests of the U.S.A. III. Every policy and action must be moral. IV. While never attempting to impose on other nations our way of life or form of government, our ideas or even our moral standards, we should ourselves stand un swervingly for and practice the system of re publican, constitutional, respresentative government laid down by the Founding Fathers in the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and Bill of Rights. We can adhere to these principles and help save our civilization by following the precepts set forth by George Washington, still the greatest President this nation ever had. Spruille Braden, former U.S. Ambassador to Latin-American countries, is author of "Diplomats and Demagogues

Mr. Braden was born in Elkhorn, Montana in 1894 and, after spending several years gaining the experience of miner, mucker and timberman, re ceived his Ph.B. in Mining Engineering from Yale's Sheffield Scientific School in 1914. He later went on to receive honorary doctorates from many of the most respected universities of the world and the country's highest civilian honor, the ''United States Medal of Freedom." But perhaps Mr. Braden is best known tor his work in international diplomacy. Since 1920, he has served as an Advisor to the United States Delegation of the Inter-American High Commission and as a delegate with the title of Ambassador to the Vllth International Conference of American States. He has also served in a similar capacity at the Pan American Commercial Conference and he has been the United States Delegate, with the rank of Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary, to the Chaco Peace Conference, in which he also represented President Roosevelt as arbitrator in the final settlement of the war between Bolivia and Paraguay. Mr. Braden has served as Ambassador to Colombia, Cuba and Argentina and as special ambassador on many other occasions. From 1945 to 1947, he was Assistant Secretary of State for American Republic Affairs and has also been called upon frequently as a special advisor to the State Department.

dinner with the alumni For the first time in several years, last May's Alumni Din ner was more than dinner with the alumni. It was also dinner with their wives and dancing afterwards to the music of a jazz combo. Nearly two hundred guests filled the Library for cock tails as the evening began shortly after a special get-together for Class Agents hosted by Headmaster and Mrs. Philip L. Anderson. The party then moved to the diningroom for dinner, the annual business meeting and the presentation of the Honorary Alumnus Award to Philip W. Stackpoie, Mathematics Department Chairman and unofficial "Dean" of the Faculty, and the Outstanding Alumnus Award to S. Barksdale Penick, Jr., Class of 1921 and prominent leader in business and education.

phil stackpoie honorary alumnus One night in the early spring when several alumni were at the Academy to plan their class reunions for the Alumni Dinner, faculty member Phil Stackpoie suddenly appeared at the door: he had seen the lights on from his apartment across the street and was curious and interested in what was happening. For a man who had grown up with the Alumni Association over the last eleven years, it was not unusual to see him there. There is nothing unusual at all about his long-time, deep and expansive interest in the Alumni Association. Year after year, Phil has attended alumni affairs, kept a curious and enthusiastic eye on every inch of the progress and main tained many good friendships with alumni from a variety of classes. As a teacher, he has been equally liked and respected. In 1963, ten years before last May's honor, the yearbook was dedicated to him. "W e, the members of the Class of 1963, dedicate 'Yearbook 76' to Philip W. Stackpoie," the citation reads. "A versatile person, Mr. Stackpoie combines the study of mathematics with a perceptive appreciation of music and modern painting and enthusiasm for both skiing and tennis. From his experience, he has relayed to us the insights and disciplines of exacting mathematics courses. As senior class advisor, he helped us arrive at constructive views and decisions as individuals and as a class."

Phil Stackpoie, right, receives the Honorary Alumnus Award .from President Walt Sperling '34.

In his eleven years at the Academy, Phil has assumed a broad range of responsibilities: as Chairman of the Math Department, Chairman of the Faculty Committee on Edu cational Policy and ah active member of committees on ad missions and discipline; he is advisor to the Red and Black Society and student government and Secretary of the Cum Laude Society; and perhaps he is most famous as the un official "Dean" of the Faculty. It was for this widespread interest in so many aspects of the School, this dedicated spirit and warm friendship that the Alumni Association expressed its pride and gratitude and designated Phil as Honorary Alumnus.

barkie penick '21 outstanding alumnus The eleventh presentation of the Outstanding Alumnus Award this year honored S. Barksdale Penick, Jr., alumnus in the Class of 1921. Barkie has long been an active citizen in the community of Montclair and has particularly de voted deep interest and energy to the town's independent educational system. His loyalty to education is exemplified by an extensive involvement as a Charter Trustee of Prince ton University, from which he graduated Phi Beta Kappa in 1925. After leaving Princeton, Barkie began a long association with S. B. Penick and Son, a sixty year old company found ed by his father for the manufacturing of botanical drugs and now, under the direction of Corn Products Corporation International, Inc., a major bulk producer of pharmaceutical chemicals. Barkie has served the company in many capaci ties: Vice President-Director, 1936-42; President, 1942-60; and Chairman from 1962 until the present. He has also been closely involved with related professional organizations: Director and Chairman of the Pharmaceutical Manufacturers' Association, Chairman of the Financial Committee of the American Foundation of Pharmaceutical Education and a member of the New York Board of Trade. He has also served as Director of the American National Bank and Trust Company, Trustee of the Bank of New York and of the Montclair Art Museum. Barkie's affiliation with Montclair Academy has deep roots: both his brothers are alumni, the late Albert D., Class of 1925, and J. Dabney, Class of 1923. In addition, Barkie's three sons attended the Academy: Douglas J., Class of 1962, Frank, Class of 1964, and Sydnor B., Class of 1950. In a statement prior to the presentation of the Award at the Alumni Dinner, Alumni Association President Walter J. Sperling, Jr. M.D. '34 said, “ We are very proucf of Mr. Penick's service to business and education and we are most grateful for the expansive impact he has had on the develop ment of the Montclair Academy Foundation. His intense interest in the community and its independent education has been significant"

Shortly after Headmaster Philip L. Anderson wrote four alumni at different colleges in the northeast to ask them if they would be interested in joining other Academy alumni at "their schools by purchasing their college chairs for use in the Academy's library, shortly after those letters were mailed— the chairs arrived. Dispelling the national concern that young alumni gener ally are not much interested in alma mater, seventeen Acad emy alumni in college joined together this past year to contribute four handsome wood chairs to the School's library. The chairs arrived from Yale (gift of John M. Brandow '71, Douglas B. Crawford '71, Edward A. Griggs, Jr. '69, David Kaytes '72, Bruce Pollack '72, Randall W . Ryan '72, Frederick H. Sheldon '70, and John K. Troxell '72); from Harvard (gift of Paul B. Cosentino '71 and Samuel S. Weiss '72); from Dartmouth (gift of David R. Dollar '72, Craig R. Maginness '72, and Trustees S. Thomas Aitken '56 and Willard W. Dixon); and from Cornell (gift of Andrew B. Abramson '71, P. Scott Anderson '69, Richard L. August '70, David H. Freed '71 and W. Craig Nash '70). On the back of each of these four chairs will soon be a special plaque with the names and classes of each of the contributors. These chairs bring to seven the total number of chairs in the library contributed over the last few years by Academy alumni in college. The other three are from Princeton (gift of Bruce F. W. Anderson '64, H. Holt Apgar '65, Robert S. Livesey '65 and Jeffrey Silberfeld '65); from Wesleyan (gift of Michael R. Fink '65 and Robert E. Gerst '62); and from Williams (gift of Joseph H. Courter, Jr. '57). The Academy's library is the focal point for much activity and is in constant use by students, faculty, trustees, alumni and parents. So, an extensive "thank-you" from the whole School family to these seventeen generous alumni.

NOTES OF TH E S C H O O L

The Decline of America (the surge of the cult de moi) Senior Commencement Speech Steve Beckelm an Every time one picks up a newspaper, he reads that America is disintegrating in a gotterdammerung of crime, finan cial crisis, and environmental disasters. The Watergate revelations indicate that our government is made up largely of inept thieves and unconvincing liars. Our remaining supplies of energy seem to be going up in smoke, which, in turn, is choking us to death. Recurrent finan cial crises make it likely that the dollar will soon be useful only as rolling paper. These crises are far different from those of the nineteen-sixties when the nation was threatened by urban vio lence, student protests, and the tragedy of a foreign war. The problems of the nineteen-seventies are varied. We face the end of our present way of life be cause of the draining of all resources of energy and raw materials. We see our government practically brought to a standstill by the worst scandal in our political history. Above all, we see a monumental indifference to all these problems on the part of much of the population. Some recent trends in social behavior are a further indication of the basic in difference of most individuals to our collective plight. Drug addiction and the disorganized religion of the Jesus freaks have become popular activities because the individual can indulge himself and eliminate interaction with society. More traditional people also show a lack of

concern with our common problems. There is, for example, a lack of interest in the political process. When the Sen ate Watergate hearings pre-empted nor mal daytime television programming, thousands of housewives around the na tion began an aggressive lobbying cam paign for reinstatement of the soap operas. Is there one basic cause for the apathy of so many citizens? It may lie in the American tradition of rugged individual ism. Modern society has perverted Jef ferson's immortal statement concerning man's certain inalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Individual freedom of action, especially in its more materialistic applications, is similar to the cult de moi of the nine teenth-century ego-anarchists, a splinter group of the basically altruistic anarch ist movement. They believed only in the satisfaction of their own desires through the destruction of the bourgeoise society. The most famous of these was Ravachol, who, to live as he desired, murdered widows and defraud ed orphans, robbed graves, bombed in nocent citizens and even refused to re cite the pledge of allegiance. A similar disregard for the plight of others or for future generations exists today. We evidence this in a wild aban don with which we consume our di minishing resources in order to satisfy our individual desire for a higher stan dard of living. The neglect of all but the most vocal of our disadvantaged citi

zens is further proof of our basic self ishness. In a sense the activities of the Watergate conspirators demonstrate the cult de moi also. Rather than risk the slightest chance of the President's defeat in the election, they chose to violate the privacy and civil rights of the members of the Democratic National Committee, disobey the laws of the land, and thus even risk the sanctity of the office of the President. We have faced other serious crises of attitude in America in past years. The Great Depression caused many to lose all hope and either surrender to poverty or turn away from our economic system. The problem was only solved when America was united by the external threat of fascist aggression. People be came more willing to abandon their per sonal desires in favor of the good of the nation. Millions gave up their freedom and even their lives to serve in the armed forces. Others worked over-time and accepted rationing of food and other products. These sacrifices renewed the spirit of the nation. Today it is more difficult to create an internal stimulus to such action. We have become too cynical, balkanized to act in a united manner unless clearly threatened with extinction. We will probably therefore fail to find true remedies for our problems until they become disasters which we cannot ignore. Just as we were not ready for war until the shock of Pearl Harbor, we will not understand the continuing

danger of Communist aggression until our nation is turned into a pile of smoldering rubble. We will not do any thing serious about air pollution until so many people are dying of lung can cer that funerals will have to be booked weeks in advance. We will not adopt sensible trade policies until American flags are being manufactured abroad and imported. In short, there is little likelihood of a change in our attitude until our own lives are directly threat ened in all ways. Those of us who are about to enter the world thus have several alternatives: we can choose the ostrich-like behavior of the majority, we can abandon the society and move to another country, or we can attempt to create the best per sonal situation in a nation in a state of decline. Who can say that selfishness might not be the best course of action? A little decadence never hurt anyone. It is certainly easier to be a profiteer, a hippie, or an alcoholic than vainly to attempt to alter our basic adherence to the present cul de moi attitude of the nation. Imagine someone thinking he can overcome the apathy of the major ity in order to save America; it might be dangerous.

the mamas and the papas It was alumnus Dallas Townsend, Class of '36 and well-known CBS news anchor man, who said it so well several years ago at the Alumni Dinner in 1971 when he was honored as Outstanding Alumnus. Speaking of American "volunteerism," Dallas said, "The United States has a vigorous and flourishing tradition of public service in the private sector. Many in this room have spent large parts of their lives serving the needs of other people." This vigorous and flourishing tradition was more active than ever at the Acad emy in this year just passed, a year during which rarely a week went by without the extensive involvement of the School's parents and their organi zations, the Parents' Association and the Fathers' Committee. Under strong lead ership and including members with a variety of interests and talents, both groups of parents have devoted timeless energy to the common objective of

expanding the facilities and programs available in the educational experience of more than 350 Academy students. The Parents' Association mothers are involved with the School on a daily basis, helping out in the Library and staffing the snack shop. In addition to various special affairs such as the Book Fair and art exhibits, they concentrate particularly on several regular fund raising events. In the past two years, they have contributed primarily to the School's Library, for extensive carpet ing, a large variety of audio visual equipment (including stereo systems and accessories, tape and cassette recorders, film projectors and cameras), for many new books and resource materials and the necessary shelf space. They have as well continuously supported other Acad emy programs, particularly the Ameri can Field Service student exchange and the School's scholarship needs. Over the last few years, the Fathers' Committee too has vastly developed its programs in the widespread expansion of the Academy's educational offerings. As was reported in the winter Montage, the Committee hosted two seminars about venereal disease for students and parents and held its second annual Career Exposure Night for juniors and seniors. Toward the end of the year, the Committe embarked on a Summer job Placement Program for eligible students interested in obtaining summer employ ment. This Program, as well as the Ca reer Night, will be repeated again next year. In addition, the Committee plans to assist the Admissions Department on Sports Day in February by hosting the parents of applicants who are at the School for testing and intends to create a speaker program for the Thursday afternoon student body assemblies, tap ping the versatile spectrum of profes sional experience and talents among parents for lectures on such subjects as public broadcasting, judicial systems, advertising, fashion, print journalism, transportation and religion. "There is a great deal of truth and significance to the phrase 'Academy Fam ily,'" Headmaster Philip L. Ander son said. "A crucial part of our devel opment as an educational institution comes through the energy, effectiveness and cooperative spirit of our parents. We are deeply grateful to them for their initiative, leadership and many suc cesses."

commencement On June 9th the Academy held its 86th Commencement, graduating fortysix seniors at the end of a two-day pro gram during which many students were honored for their qualities of leader ship and spirit and for their distin guished prowess in academics and athletics. The two-day program began with the Awards Assembly: The Klein Awards in Grades 9 through 12, given in memory of Dr. William Klein, eminent physician and sports en thusiast, were presented to six boys for their achievements in athletics and academic pursuits: to 9th Grader Alex ander William Hodge, III of Wayne, 10th Graders Roger Goodspeed Abbott of Montclair and Donald Frank D'Alessandro of Essex Fells, 11th Graders John DeCarteret Blondel of Montclair and Mark Richard Baran of Wallington and to 12th Grader James Edward Lyons of Wilmington, Delaware. The Barclay Memorial Prize, given in memory of John Stein Barclay of the Class of 1928, was presented to Michael Francis lacangelo, Jr. of Belleville for his high degree of excellence in beginning Latin. The Library Award, presented to those students whose faithfulness, diligence and spirit have been noteworthy in vol unteer library work, was awarded to Roger Goodspeed Abbott and Paul Mac Donald Finney, both of Montclair. The Montclair Academy Alumni As sociation Awards are given each year to boys in the 7th and 8th Grades who, in the opinion of the Faculty, have demon strated outstanding leadership, citizen ship and loyal spirit. This year, the Awards were presented to Frederick Ralph Fucci of Glen Ridge and Stephen Renato Quazzo of Montclair. The Fine Arts Department Drama Award, given for outstanding contribu tions in the Academy's dramatic arts, was presented to Jeffrey Bruce Kindler of Upper Montclair. The Spanish Prize for noteworthy achievements in mastering the language and understanding of the culture of Spain was awarded to Jeffrey Mac Donald Crawford of Essex Fells; the French Prize for similar accomplish ments in the French language and cul ture was presented to Thomas Joseph Murphy of Clifton by Montclair's A lli ance Française.

The Montclair Society of Engineers Award was presented by the Society to Robert Alan August of Bloomfield for his outstanding potential in the pursuit of an engineering career and his success in mathematics and the sciences. The Rauscher Prize, given by Dolson W. Rauscher of the Class of 1922, was presented to Peter Andrey Rives of Clif ton for the high degree of excellence he achieved in mathematics. The Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Gold Medal, presented by the Alumni Association of R.P.I., was given to Glen Arlen Kohl of Fair Lawn for his superb performance in the study of mathemat ics and the sciences The History Prize was awarded to Steven Arthur Beckelman and Jeffrey Bruce Kindler, both of Upper Montclair, for their superior achievements in the study of history. Jeffrey Bruce Kindler was also the re cipient of two awards given him for outstanding performances in English: The Demarest Memorial English Prize, in memory of Charles H. Demarest, Jr. and the Barras Prize, in memory of Aca demy English master William Avery Barras. The William H. Miller prize in Sci ence, awarded as a bequest from Aca demy Science teacher William Henry Miller, was presented to Lee Scott Cohn of Passaic for his highest class ranking in science. The Red and Black Society announced its new officers for next year, President Benjamin F. Thompson of Montclair and Secretary William L. Brown, III of West Caldwell. The final awards of the Assembly

were presented by the students in honor of two members of the Faculty: the 1973 Yearbook dedication to History Depart ment Chairman Robert Hemmeter of Montclair and English master Douglas Jennings, also of Montclair. Associate Editor Jeffrey B. Kindler thanked the two Faculty members for their concern, un derstanding and friendship and "for contributing part of themselves to us." A day after the Awards Assembly, Commencement was held in Montclair's First Congregational Church. In an ef fort to concentrate on the seniors, there was no main address and the ceremony focused on the Senior Commencement Speech, delivered by Steven Arthur Beckelman (see page 21). Cum Laude inductees were honored and the Aca demy's major awards were presented: The fifty-two year old Academy Chap ter of the national Cum Laude Society honored seven seniors whose academic achievements were the highest: Robert A. August, Steven A. Beckelman, Lee S. Cohn, D. Gregory Frey, Thomas C. Galligan, Jeffrey B. Kindler and Peter A. Rives. The Academy's highest award, the Head Boy Medal, was presented to Keith Arthur Marsh of Montclair for being "outstanding in character, deportment, scholarship and good influence among his fellow students." Marsh's energy and talent were widespread during his years at the Academy and culminated in the highest academic, athletic and extra curricular achievements: he attained and continued to earn honor roll status, he participated thoroughly in football, water polo and swimming (receiving awards as Outstanding Swimmer of the

Year) and he pursued an active extra curricular involvement with the Ameri can Field Service Program (as Vice Presi dent), The Montclair News, The Varsity Society (as Secretary), the Urban Affairs Club, the Ecology Club and the Com munity Scholars Program. Speaking of Marsh's accomplishments at the Aca demy, Headmaster Philip L. Anderson said, "He is a substantial student, a. fine athlete, a warm and friendly per sonality. . . . This is a remarkable young man, well-liked and respected by both his classmates and faculty." Marsh is the son of Dr. and Mrs. Henri C. Marsh, both of whom are deeply involved in the Academy, Mrs. Marsh with the Parents' Association and Dr. Marsh as a trustee of the Montclair Academy Foundation. Marsh entered Dartmouth College in September. The second major Commencement prize, presented to James Edward Lyons of Wilmington, Delaware, was the Deetjen Award, in memory of Ru dolph H. Deetjen, Academy alumnus in the Class of 1915, presented to Lyons for his >,"creditable record in athletics and academic work" and for his "character and deportment [which] have been a positive influence in the life of the School." In his years at the Academy, Lyons achieved and maintained honor roll academic status and was specially distinguished with a Letter of Commendation by the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test; his athletic involvement and prowess were exemplified through active participation in football, basketball and baseball, for which he received the Klein Award for a distinguished blend of academic and

athletid^skill and competence. Lyons' extracurricular involvement, at the Acad emy and in the community, was note worthy: he was Senior Class President, a participant on The Montclair News and as actor and stage hand for dramatic productions; in addition, he was in volved in Montclair's. Civic D a y ,in a community church youth group and in an inner-city tutoring program through the School's Urban Affairs Club. Lyons is the son of Mr. and Mrs. John R. Sodoma. Lyons entered Wesleyan Univer sity. The third major award presented at Commencement last Saturday was the Bud Mekeel Memorial Scholarship, presented to Jeffrey Bruce Kindler of Upper Montclair, given in memory of O. Stanley Mekeel, Academy Alumnus in the Class of 1929, to a worthy senior. Kindler's high academic average dis tinguished him with honor roll status and with a Letter of Commendation by the National Merit Scholarship Quali fying Test. He participated in track and cross country and maintained a highly motivated approach to many extracur ricular activities: The Montclair News (as Editor), the Academy's literary maga zine, Lloyd Road Anthology (as Editor and Co-editor), the Yearbook (as Asso ciate Editor), the Student Admissions Committee, the Ecology Club, dramatics activities, the Morning Meeting Program and the Red and Black Society (as Pres ident). Kindler entered Tufts Univer sity in September. He is the son of Dr. and Mrs. Jack Kindler. In addition to these three major awards, other prizes were given in re cognition of student accomplishments: The Funk Memorial Awards, given in memory of Wilfred John Funk of the Class of 1936 to those b oy| in Grades 7 through 11 with the highest scholastic class rank, were presented to: 7th Grader John F. Hunt of Upper Mont clair, 8th Grader Alan C. Deehan, 9th Grader Gordon G. Cohen, both Mont clair, 10th Grader Aleksander Kupiszewski of Passaic and 11th Grader Glen A. Kohl of Faiif Lawn; highest scholastic class rank for the 12th Grade was earned by Jeffrey B. Kindler of Upper Montclair! who received the Senior Scholarship Prize. The Princeton Club Award, presented by the Princeton Alumni Association of Montclair and vicinity, was presented 24

to William David Weiss of Caldwell, "whose strong academic record is sup plemented by evidence of leadership in school affairs, athletics and com munity endeavors." The Faculty Citizenship Prize was giv en to Benjamin Fenn Thompson of Montclair, "that member of the junior class who, in the estimation of the Faculty, has during the current year shown the best spirit of loyalty to the School as a whole and exercised a wholesome and wise leadership." The Community Service Award, given to those members of the senior class who, "through positive action, have shown unselfish concern for their fel low men and their communities," was presented to Marc Francis Chinard and James Edward Lyons. Finally two special awards were pre sented: to Durwin Frederick Johnson of M ontclai^"for his continuing and un stinting efforts to enrich Academy life with the cultural and artistic products of the black experience in America and especially for his energetic and ima ginative participation in the English De partment program o f ’ elective courses over a period of two years, during which liime he designed and conducted two courses in Black Studies"; and the sec ond special award, to James Richardson Crooks of Montclair, "for his outstand ing contribution to the wide range of activities loosely labeled 'audio-visual' H -his direction of lighting for Academy dramatic productions, his taping of Academy sports, his supervision of tech nical aspects of extended morning meet ing programs and h t| ability to make crucial repairs on short notice."

going to college Any attempt to characterize a group as diverse as the Class of 1973 is doomed to failure. Like most other classes, this one is composed of staunch individualists, boys not only with strong convictions but also with strong voices. However, certain generalizations, simpli fications to be sure, can be made. It is a Class of spirit. Not only did it lead the School to a new feeling of purpose, but it showed a commitment to the community at large through such activ ities as tutoring and leadership in Civic Day. It is a Class of friends— perhaps in a way significantly different from many other classes. Although cliques existed,

all the classmates were just that—class*mates. The Headmaster has said that this is a Class characterized by naturalness, a naturalness that gives it a healthy dis regard for phoniness. Most of all, it is a Class confident about its future. Robert August

SO Years o f Honor Special to The New York Times

EAST ORANGE, N. J., March 13—Sports record books are rewritten annually and great names fade into oblivion with each edition. It’s called progress, ringing out the old and bringing in the young. To Ed Van Brunt, it doesn’t matter how many times the cycle is repeated. He was one of the greatest athletes to perform for East Orange High School and doesn’t need a record book to prove it. The 68-year-old has an athletic field named after him —and it’s not a memorial. After trying almost every sport, and exceling in most, at East Orange High, Van Brunt concentrated on baseball and was a hard-throwing pitching prospect for the Boston Braves during spring training from 1925 through 1927. Halted by a sore right arm after pitching five times in seven days at Lynn, Mass., Van Brunt turned to coaching. That sore arm—torn ligaments in his elbow—was a disaster at the time because Dave Bancroft, then manager of the Braves, had Van Brunt labled as “another Dazzy Vance.” But the injury gave Montclair Academy the “dean” of its athletic program. Starting in 1934, Van Brunt coached baseball, football, basket ball and track, was director of athletics and worked six years as administrative assistant before retiring in 1970. But Van Brunt never really left Montclair Academy; he merely slowed down and still is active as chairman of the Class Agents Program and a member of the Alumni Council. r Montclair Academy didn’t wait to show its appreciation to Van Brunt, whose teams had 20 straight baseball victories and 32 in a row in basketball in 1955. They won North Jersey Ivy League championships in both sports that year. On Oct. 18, 1969, Montclair dedicated Edwin E. Van Brunt Field in his honor, not in his memory. The field is a monument to a man who once struck out Babe Ruth, Bob Meusel and Lou Gehrig of the Yankees in an exhibition game. Some of Van Brunt’s records in high school have been passed, but he still has at least one. He struck out 28 batters in 1923 while East Orange and Montclair were battling to an 11inning, 1: 1 standoff that was ended by darkness. That spring, Van Brunt, who also was a talented tennis player, took a fling at track and field, to the chagrin of his base ball coach. In the state championships he won the broad jump (19 feet 11 inches), placed second in the high jump, third in the shot-put, fourth in the discus throw and fifth in the javelin throw.

Hand tucked in the jacket . . a latter-day Napoleon? Of sorts, per haps. "C hief" (William G.) Broadhead led his football troops with distin guished acumen and strength, achiev ing great renown and a lively repu tation for himself and his teams during some of the highest points of Academy football history from the early '20s to the mid-'30s. Those were the years of his reign as coach. These are the years of the resurrection of the man in the minds and memories of the many who loved him.

The Alumni Office deeply regrets having to report the death on June 7th of Class Agent Arthur V. Youngman '18. A long-time resident of the Montclair-Verona area, Art had been deeply involved over the years with the Academy, particularly during the early stages of the 75th Anniversary capital campaign, with The Kimberley School as a trustee and with a number of the com munity's social, health and religious or ganizations. After thirty-seven years of affiliation with the Mutual Benefit Life In surance Company of New York, Art retired in 1963, though he continued to direct the operations of Youngman and Associates, Inc., life insurance and employee benefit plans with offices in New York and Mont clair. The Alumni Office extends sincerest condolences to Mrs. Youngman and to their son Gerald, a graduate of the Academy in the Class of 1944. Alfred P.

The full text of the article appears in the Montage on page 17. Wilfred B.

The committee, which is studying whether there should be new procedures for imposing and reviewing criminal sen tences, w ill make two recommendations, "The Times" story reads, "that the same trial judge sentence all defendants in the Same criminal case and that all new judges be introduced to the philosophy of sen tencing." In the interview in the story, Charlie said that "different defendants in different situations are entitled to have a judge weigh the circumstances before im posing sentences.

"The Academy is too liberal; students come to M.A. to learn, get Into top colleges and hopefully excell thereafter . . . the men look like girls — I thought M.A. had a dress code (mini-business men, not looking like slobs)."

"I had the opportunity to be a part of a fine educational process for the shaping of men."

Certain things should be changed: "The competitiveness of the academic part of school to the extent that grades, not learning, became the good; the petty rules system for disciplining students; the enforced conformity towards the Idealiza tion of a model student archetype, i.e. 'The Academy Boy;' the admission poli cies; and the lack of concern for social issues."

"Molding the student should be thrown out — less conformist framework when dealing with the individual."

Raising Money By Phone In eleven sessions last February, more than thirty alumni came back to the Academy's Development Offices time after time to reach their classmates and alumni friends across the country. They spent $400.00 in toll charges, making more than four hundred completed calls, and they raised $3,832.86 from 109 of the 217 alumni who promised a gift. And that ain't hay. O f the 78 alumni who pledged a specific amount, 62 completed; of the 139 who promised to contribute "something," 47 did; and of the 95 who said they would consider a gift, 23 did so affirmatively. By and large, the Fund-A-Thon was a great success, giving the Academy the opportunity of renewing its rapport with alumni from coast to coast and raising the crucial Annual Giving Funds. Co-Chairmen of Alumni Annual Giving, Tom Aitken '56 and Bill Thompson '33, were so pleased with the warm reception given the Program by so many of the alumni who were called that they wondered out loud one night how next year's Fund-A-Thon could possibly top this one. Bill thought a moment and, his eyes suddenly widening, he said, "Call collect."
