Notice of Non-Discriminatory Policy as to Students.

The Montclair Kimberley Academy admits students of any race, color, and national or ethnic origin.

Early in September the clarion call went out to the parents, faculty, trustees and friends of The Montclair Kimberley Academy: EXCELLENCE! The merger has been accomplished leaving MKA with a firm founda­ tion and two strong histories to draw on; the capital campaign is under way and drawing support from our many constituencies; and a wave of new excitement and vitality can be felt through­ out the School. All this has one aim: to make The Montclair Kimberley Academy synon­ ymous with excellence in educa­ tion. When I first spoke to the various constituencies of the School, there was resounding support for the goal of excellence. As the months have rolled on, I find myself refining that goal, and trying to make it both specific and measurable.

I’d like to share with you, the alumni and friends of MKA, the purposes that we espouse for the School.

When MKA talks about providing an excellent education, it is very aware of the students for whom that excellence is intended. They are girls and boys gifted with good minds who come from families who believe in education and who value the life of the intellect. For the most part they will go on to higher education, and take their places as successful members of the professional and business community.

Their parents are believers in the “ good life’’ in the classical sense, which includes an educated mind, a healthy body, and a concern for the welfare of the communi­ ty. It is these young people to whom MKA is dedicated.

The Montclair Kimberley Academy has three campuses which allows us to design appropriate programs and ambiances for students at each level of their education. In the Primary School, for example, we help our students make the transition from home into the larger community. The atmosphere of the Brookside campus is warm, caring, and somewhat homelike. As we introduce our youngest students to reading, writing, and arithmetic, we are aware of the differences in their maturation rates, and are careful to guide them according to their own inner time clocks. Nothing is more harmful to a young child than being pushed beyond his or her maturation level, and nothing more wasteful than holding a child back when he is ready to learn more. We believe that it is particularly important for girls and boys of this age to learn to work and study together, and that competition can be harmful both to the individual and to the atmosphere of the school. Thus physical education stresses cooperation and playing together rather than competition and winning.

At the Middle School age, grades four througffleight, we recognize new needs and new developments. Energy levels are high, curiosity insatiable, and individual gifts and talents begin to play a large part in the students’ lives. At this age com­ petition is introduced to the program. Sixth grade students receive marks for the first time, and the older classes compete in a variety of team sports. Building on a strong foundation in their own language, students are introduced to French and Spanish. The study of arithmetic continues until those who are most gifted in this area complete Algebra I at the eighth grade level. History, geography, science, and an introduction to literature all form part of the program for the Middle School.

Equally important, teachers work closely with their classes and with individual students to instill a sense of personal values and an understanding of the virtues that lead to strong character development.

On the Lloyd Road campus, we vary the program and atmosphere again to help students make the transition from childhood to young adulthood. Students are asked to take real responsibility for their School: to engage in the political process through the Student Council, to critique their own environment in the school newspaper, to plan their own recreation through the theater, dances and parties, and to engage actively in competitive and lifetime sports. With careful guidance from their advisors, students select programs designed to build on their academic 1

strengths and ready them for higher education. A broad curriculum ^ provided so that students can focus on the humanities, the fine and performing arts, foreign languages, or math and science. Because we believe each of these areas is essential to an educated person, students must study them all, but they may go into greater depth in the areas of their special interests and talents.

Those of us who were educated twenty, thirty or even forty years ago will recognize the basic pattern of the college preparatory education. But the eighties are not the fifties, the sixties, nor even the seventies.

There are real differences today. The most striking on® ¡¡¡the openness between students and faculty. Advisoiflnot only he® with study skills and program planning, but also attempt to guide their advisees through thejups and downs of school life.

They confront the issues of marijuana, alcohol, and society's obsession with sex.

They talk about (he market and the career opportunitiesfer young people in the future, about politics, fashion, family patterns, and even the trials of friendship and young romance. Probably the greatest legacy given us from the turbulent Sixties is a^ jjfn reasing understanding of the need for teachers and students to com­ municate, and a growing ability to do so. The seventies have led us to evaluate our programs, clarify oifflaims and dispense with innovation for innovation’s sake.

A w a llp ro u gh the halls of the School||dicates ways that college preparatory education is being tailored to fit the needs of current times. At MKA, ten computer terminals are available for students in grades four through twelve. The three school libraries have augmented their book collections with filmstrips, films, and other media equipment. The curriculum reflects the information explosion of the past half century, and courses once open only to students in college and graduate school are now explored by our teenagers. Our pluralistic society has made it necessary for us to individualize our approach to discipline, while not losing sight of its real goal: to enable students to make choices that are for their long-range good and for that of the commillity.

However much technology, circumstances, and information change our schools, some things remain eternal: there is no substitute in education for a good teacher; children cannot learn in a disorderly atmosphere; if standards are set high students will aim for them; and becoming educated is hard work!

The Montclair Kimberley Academy is proud of the education it offers to its students— proud of a faculty trained in their disciplines, talented in the art and skill of teaching, and willing to hold themselves and their students accountable to the highest standards. We are fortunate to have a plant that offers our students three swimming pools, nine tennis courts, four playing fields, playgrounds, classroom and work spaces, and an attractive environment in which to learn. We are pleased that our parents want us to educate their children not merely by imparting facts and skills, but by passing on what we, and they, have learned through experience are the values that lead to a productive and happy life.

Education is a complex business. It is subject to the winds of politics, to passing fads, and to economic pressures, fn the past quarter century schools have been expected to cure the social ills of our country, to make up for economic and family deficiencies, to spearhead political movements,, to eradicate alcohol and drug abuse and, In short, to be a cure-all for the problems of ||e. The emphasis on aims other than education has resulted in a weakening of academic programs. At Montclair Kimberley Academy we are privileged to have a consituency which applauds our goal of excellent college preparatory education, and which allows us to concentrate on achieving it. We are indebted to our parents, alumni, and friends for their continuing m erest in the School. Your faith and support make it possible for'Us to be a truly outstanding school.

“ It’s B e going back 25 years — I’m so glad I cam e!” “ I never gave much thought to coming to Homecoming before this year. I can’t believe how many people from my class are here. Today I’ve found out that a lot of people I haven’t seen since graduation are living in this area again.”

Commentswe these reflected the pleasant surprise that many alumns felt this year as they experienced Homecoming for the first time. Planned events provided the opportunities for alumni to get together, but it was people, more than events, who made the day a success. Even the cancellation of the field hockey game and the defeat of the football team didn't prevent alumni from tailgating, catching up on news of fellow graduates, and delighting in seeing unexpected classmates. One alum had to pause when asked the final score of the football game, explaining that just watching the game and seeing friends had been so engrossing that the outcome hadn’t seemed important.

Pausing to chat for a moment with Miriam Irwin '51, Alumni Associa­ tion V.P. for reunions are, Jerry Engstrom and his wife Betty.

right On hand for homecoming festivities were Nick Eastman, Liz Newman, David Soule, Paul Zuckerberg, Roger Abbott, Harry Nimmergut, Hugh Gleason and Lisa Irwin — all Class of 75.

Before the game, the 25th (1954) and 50th (1929) reunion classes had a special celebration at a luncheon held in their honor. The luncheon was the first chance for many of the alumni to meet the new principal, Dr. Frances R. O’Connor, who welcomed the guests and spoke with them about her hopes for the school.

Later in the afternoon, alumni and their spouses moved to the middle school for a post game party hosted by Miriam Eustis Irwin ’51. While John Bicknell '78 provided background music on the piano, alumni compared notes with members of their own classes and found out from older and younger alumni what attending the school had been like at different periods. When not talking, alumni sampled the variety of refreshments, found pictures of themselves and classmates in the continuously running slide show "Nostalgia,” and read the bulletin board display of news and pictures from those who weren’t able to attend. Pictures of the well represented reunion classes can be found in the class notes.

Seeing the faculty was an added attraction at the reception this year. Some alumni renewed friendships with teachers they had while in school, others asked about what was happening in the School today. "The faculty I talked to are really excited about what they’re doing,” said one alumn. "That’s good to hear.”

A break during the football game pro­ vided an opportunity for alumni to see classmates and catch up on news.

Carol Carpenter joined MKA August 15 as Director of Development, coming here from the same post at Lincoln School in Providence, Rhode Island. At various times a suburban newspaper editor, a metropolitan newspaper reporter, an educational consultant, a hospital public relations director, and a housewife, Mrs. Carpenter is the mother of five. Her youngest two, twins Helen and Frances, are seniors at MKA.

l t s .

There’s just no question that, for a newcomer, the number of people involved in MKA’s activities can at first seem a bit overwhelming. But as,the weeks have moved on and the seemingly endless lists of names are becoming, instead, people to me, I realize that the Montclair Kimberley Academy ¿s: a school enormously fortunate In its alum niH parents and friends.

The first demonstration of this came early irmhe faBat a well-attended party for advance donors to the Annual Giving campaign. People turned out to meet the new Principal, and stayed to talk about the school and why It commands such .1 respect and support in its community. When contacted later, during the Advance Gifts Phonathon, 97% of those reached said “ yes,” to the request to help the school meet its $175,000 goal.

Phonathon came next— and again, lists became peoplS—energetic activists, committed to MKA. More than 200 persons worked on Phonathon during the three weeks of calling alumni, parents and friends. The result was pledges amounting to over double the amount given last year-ljand nearly two hundred people making gifts for the first time.

Now came the?f st of those persons not reached by Phonathon. Letters went out in November. 1979-80 Annual Giving Chairman, Frederick E. Schwartz, states, “ We’ll make our goal— and be able to give MKA the funds It needs for this year’s budget, if everyone to whom we have written will just send along a check before June 30 when our fiscal year ends. We needpe big gifts and the little ones. The kind of loyalty which wide participation represents is tremendously impressive to foundations, corporations and Individuals considering major commitments to MKA.” As December rolled around, the focus shifted to the school’s most major financial undertaking: the capital campaign, MKA TOMORROW! Lists again— by now with many names jumping off the page-—often names of people legendary at MKA for their concern first for the predecessor schools, The Kimberley School and Montclair Academy, and now for the exciting, merged school which celebrates its sixth birthday this year.

MKA TOMORROW! was officially launched February 28, 1979 with the announcement of the Florence and John Schumann Foundation challenge grant of $700,000, to be paid $1 for every $2 raised by the School. As a result of the work of the Major and Special Gifts Committees, over one-half of this challenge has been met. As the next phase begins witffthe kick-off dinners for parents this month, its objective is to raise the money needed to earn the full challenge— and take our campaign over the top.

Two more kick-off dinners are scheduled for April to reach alumni. These parties are intended to share the MKA story with alumni from New Jersey. Dinners for those In Manhattan and nearby suburban New York and Connecticut will be held in the fall. Outside these areas, alumni will be contacted by phone and mail.

To do all this, MKA needs alumni volunteers! The alumni campaign is an opportunity to get to know MKA's new Principal, to hear what the Board envisions for the future, and to help make It all happen. We hope you will join the alumni who help make MKA what it is. Please, won’t you step off a list and join in? We need each of you, for the time, talents and support that only you can give.

CAP One of the keys to Montclair Kimberley Academy’s academic excellence is found in the work of “ CAP,” the faculty Committee on Academic Programs. It is the charge of this twenty-four member group to provide continuing review of the Academy’s educational program to maintain its strengths and recommend improvements.

What sorts of questions are tackled

by CAP? This year the Primary/ Middle School group has been looking closely at the reading pro­ gram on the two campuses to achieve a consistent approach and to coordinate faculty efforts more effectively.

A first step in the committee’s work is an important one: to identify the areas to be considered and gather data.

CAP meets as a whole committee four times a year, and in two separate groups twice a month, throughout the school year. One subcommittee represents the Primary and Middle Schools and the other, the Middle and Upper Schools.

Tommy Brayboy, fourth grade teacher and grade chairman heads the Primary/ Middle group, and Bob Hemmeter, Upper School History Department Chairman, heads the Middle/Upper School group and is overall chairman of both. Mr. Hemmeter reports directly to Principal Frances R. O’Connor who reviews the committee findings and makes recommendations to the faculty. The process, which involves over 25% of the faculty, assures broad participation in academic evaluation and curriculum planning.

7

Middle and Upper School committee members have dealt with a variety of questions. Do the two divisions grade the same way?

Do they give about the same distribution of A's, B ’s, and C's?Is the philosophy of discipline consis­ tent, or are there different expecta­ tions and emphases as students move through the grades? How do students feel about the transitions between campuses?

Tommy Brayboy

The committee is finding out that discipline approaches, for example, are different in the Middle and Upper Schools. Middle School disciplinarians stress ways to make the rule violator more aware of the meaning of school rules. Attention is focused on the individual and the needs of his personal development and growth.

Cases are dealt with less uniformly. On the other hand, at the Upper School level, stronger adherence to the letter of the law Is stressedBn order to provide that structure of security so vital to the emerging adolescent/adult personality. As differences in approach are examined, the age level is kept in mind. The committee has concluded that each division’s philosophy represents the right approach to its age group. Elimination of differences would be counterproductive.

In the area of grade determination, department heads reported thatsln most cases, the criteria used for evaluation were the same in the two divisions. Science, math, and language have a more objective approach to grades, while history and English allow for more subjective evaluation, especially where personal interpretatioBand assessment are required.

Trends in gracfig are under discussion. Statistics are being compiled. Judy Kemlitz, Chairman of the Science Department, is developing a questionnaire to ask student reaction to the transition years.

What topics does the committee plan to investigate in the future? Top priority items include a review of basic skills Shhe curriculum, of off-campus education, teacher exchange, and interdisciplinary programs.

There is great interest in f je interdiscipBary approach, stemming from the enormous success of two Middle School programs, the Williamsburg Project and the Survival Project. All eighth grade students take part In a study of colonial Williamsburg. Although basically a social studies course, English, art, and science teachers also work closely with students as they learn about colonial life, and, in November, visit Williamsburg itself. Seventh graders get an opportunity to experience something of what frontier life was like in weir Survival Project. English, science, and social studies teachers again work together to give youngsters a course which combines ecology and history and the actual experiencing of survival techniques on a camping expedition.

The interdisciplinary approach is beginning to be used more widely in the Upper School. The U.S. history course is augmented by a Junior Lecture Series, in which Engliil, art and science teachers discuss such varied topics as Transcendentalism, Jazz Age music, federal architecture, philosophy, and social Darwinism. Both students and teachers find frie multi-faceted approach fascinating.

Two more courses which cross several discipfies are being planned: one an overview of Elizabethan society and another a study of Greece in which students will study literaturemiistory, science, art and architecture.

Committee members feel that the variety of concerns, suggestions and curricular offerings being presented to them reflect the creativity and energy of the MKA faculty. Even more Importantly, they report an awareness of the faculty’s dedication to maintaining the strength that already exists at MKA, while recognizing that a school must examine, define and improve its program if it is to continue to be of the first rank.

roles and desserts from all parts of the world. Acts Including mime, dance, song and comedy, all per­ formed by students, made up the after dinner entertainment.

After sixteen years as a science teacher at MKA, Bernard Drake retired last June from a profes­ sion he never expected to enter.

Mr. Drake came to MKA in 1963, at a time when he was irn the midst of a successful career as an industrial chemist. A friend told him of an open teaching posi­ tion at Montclair Academy and he decided to “ give it a try for a year” as a change from the hec­ tic pace1 of the business world.

The year extended t p ’ « ® e n , during which he taught Introduc­ tory Physical Science and Ad­ vanced Chemistry to hundreds of Academy students.

Students demonstrated their appreciation of MSDrake's. con­ trib u tio n to th e S ch o o l by dedicating the 1978 yearbook to ram , noting his "meticulously prepared lectures and long hours in the lab after school," as well as his wit, tolerance and congeniali­ ty. A colleague commented at the time of Mr. Drake’s retire­ ment, “ I can’t think of a man who more deserves time of his own.

He has always given it so generously to all of iis $ — both students and faculty. After all, he taught not just his students but his colleagues as well.”

Marathon Runners Ever since Pheidlppides ran the 24 miles from the Battle of Marathon to Athens in 490 BC to announce the victory of the A th eS ranS R hen fell to the ground dead, — this distance has been seen as an ultimate challenge of strength, endurance and speed. On October 21, two MKA faculty members and two parents went the distance in the New York Marathon.

Mark Schlossberg, Upper School scipftee teacher, completed the race in 2 hours and 46 minutes, fast enough to qualify for the Boston Marathon. Sally Bailey, another science department member. MKA parent John Wallace ’50 from Clifton, father of David 79, and Joanne ’81, and Richard Blinder of Montclair, father of Karen 79, also brought glory to MKA by completing the grueling race.

Closer

In November, Channel 13’s New Jersey Evening News Program featured MKA's sixth grade in their “ A Closer Look" segment.

Covering a pilot prograijn at MKA called “ Know Your Body," cameramen filmed students as they were given medical tests to check them as heart attack risks. The program teachej:students about such things as cholesterol levels in the blood, exercise, diet, and stress, and how these factors can affect the chance of having a heart attack.

MKA’s program, initiated after a study showed abnormally high cholesterol levels In New Jersey schoolchildren, has an in te r r in g curriculum which combinesBlassroom study and a physical education program to strengthen students' cardiovascular systems.

29------------------ --TKS Miss Charlotte H. Fitch Box 45, 24 Cape B ial Lane W estport Point, MA 02791 M p o o ra y for the class of '29 — two new class secretaries: Charlotte Fitch and Bob Dorrill! It was good to welcome so many from the Class of '29 at Homecoming this past October. Attending luncheon as guests of Dr. Frances O’Connor were Charlotte Fitch, Westport Point, MA; Jeanne Price Goodlatte, East Longmeadow, MA; Mary Cun­ ningham Johnston, Ridgefield, CT; Ruth Kilgore Murray, Southbury, CT; and Doris Blondel Krebs of Montclair. The survey sent from the Alumni Office prior to Homecoming, brought back such interesting news about so many of you. Maisie Ann Fobes Williams wrote, “ I spent the past two years raising native desert plants from seed. They’ll be used for landscaping the new Anza Borrego Desert State Park Visitor’s Center. The million dollar center is underground and there was nc money for landscaping the mound and sur­ roundings, so my husband, Newton, andffl undertook the project. Louis Raynor writes to say “ I retired early (1968) as professor of Botany at the University of Vermont. Since then have done much needlepoint designing for St. Paul's Cathedral, Burlington, VT, and other churches of the Episcopal Diocese of V e rm o n t^™ 1976, with the assistance of Carolyn H. K e r « published “ Church Needle­ point." (Morehouse-Barlow, W iltS , Ct.) I also support four handsome cats, in style!”

Among those attending their 50th Reunion were Jeanne Price Goodlatte, Charlotte Fitch, and Doris Blondel Krebs ’29. Jeanne and Charlotte came from Massachusetts for the festivities.

From Harriet Laffey Files the following: “ At what used to be called retirement age, I started a happy, part-time 'career' with Trail Blazer Library System, an inter-library loan system, covering a dozen parishes (that’s Louisiana for ‘counties’) in northeast LA. With no training In library science, I give credit to Kimberley and to Wheaton backgrounds for enabling me to catch on, at least reasonably well, to the demands of reference. I don't play tennis or jog, but I do ride a bicycle, and before too long that may be what we'll have to do!

|| a v e one daughter, Carolyn, single. Have four step-grandchildren living in South Carolina."

Marge McComb Sexton and husband, Dorrance '28, travel often both in the USA and abroad, and she keeps busy with many other activities. Connie Parkhurst Chauncey writes,“ 1am so sorry I will be unable to attend our '50th.' Had been looking forward to It, but will be in New Jersey from September 12 to the 19 after leaving our home on Casco Bay, ME, for our winter home in Vero Beach, FL, where we will stay until the latter part of June.

Pearce and I had a delightful trip to Hawaii last fall with Florida neighbors. We then flew to San Francisco and had a brief two-day visit with my daughter^ Audrey, her husband, and three boys. We have one daughter and family living two houses away from us in Florida and two sons and a daughter liyijjg in New Jersey with their families. We have a total of sixteen grand­ children. Please say hello to everyone and have a great reunion.” Ethel DuMont Kellinger Woodruff and husband, Al, have moved to the Cape. Ethel says "w e have per­ petual house guests which we have relished.

Daughter, Barbara, lives in Maine and is married to a theological student who hopes to be an Episcopal minister next year. Daughter, Nancy, lives In Houston and Is married to an electrical engineer who designs computers for Schlumberger. We have one granddaughter, Kathy, who is our special joy. Over the years l have worked with the Red Cross, the church, the '|).hlted Fund, and have been active in the AAUW, the Cornell Club, and the Alumnae group of Alpha Omlcron PI sorority. My special interest has been the Lineage Societies and I have served in the DAR, New England Women, Huguenot Society, etc., at the state and local levelH B y now I’m a pretty good amateur genealogist and enjoy the work. For exercise, I walk and swim. I have always en­ joyed good health but am now slowed down by arthritis. We still go to the southwest for some of the winter months. Greetings and best wishes to the class of '29 as you gather and perhaps remember that awful cocoa, green gym bloomers, French assembly, Miss War­ ing, Miss Jordan, Miss Gallie, and what else?" ^ H r o m San Diego, the following note from Kit Meeks — “Sorry not to be among those present for the 50th. I had planned to come, but the passing of two of my best friends, Sue S terling and Eleanore Eastw ood — changed all that. My dear friend Sis De Camp, spent the first two weeks ofm ily out here with me in Coronado. We had a real fun time and it was wonderful having her here. We even had a few games of golf, which she is taking up again. I still play whenever I can, even though I'm not good. I’m fairly active in local Republican activities and still work in SenatoljHayakawa’s San Diego office one day a week. Soon, because of the urging of S is.ffl am going to get back into some form of art work, which I have neglected these many years. No trips planned at present. I love it here in Coronado. The climate is so terrific, I actually h a v e » desire to go away. However, since my niece Is living in Honolulu, that will

probably be my next trip. M a n y of you, get close to San Diego, please let me know.H would love to see you." Doris Blondel Krebs stopped in the Alumni office to give us some photos for the Homecoming Bulletin Board.

She finds it hard to believe it is her 50th, but harder to believe it is her daughter’s (Doris Krebs Barnard ’54) 25th reunion. Dorie has nine grandchildren, eight boys and one girl.

Her other daughters are Joan Krebs Newhoff '57 and Cathy Krebs Suitor '64.

Jeanne Price Goodlatte has three sons: Dick, who lives with his family in Winchester, MA; Bill and his family in Sewickley, PA, and Peter and family in New Carrollton, MD. Jeanne has been active for many years in East Longmeadow, MA, civic and church affairs and has received many accolades, among them the Chamber of Commerce award for outstanding contribution to H a s t Long­ meadow. She is listed in "W ho’s Who of American Women” and the "W orld’s Who’s Who of Women” as journalist and volunteer civic worker. Jeanne has traveled all over the world and has a trip planned for 1980 to Switz­ erland, Austria, and West Germany. She’ll see the Passion Play at Oberamergau. Charlotte Fitch is retired from teaching in the speech and theatre departments at Smith College.

She lives In Westport Point, MA, m a house built by Mary K. Waring Fitch in 1934m an­ ticipation of her retirement. Charlotte writes “ Like most retired people I find myself very busy. Last year I organized two drama clubs at the local high school and put on a bill of three one-act plays. Am doing speech work with volunteer docents and tour-guides at the New Bedford Whaling Museum. Wrote, directed, and designed an old-fashioned melodrama for the benefit of the local community church t h ^ past summer. I’m active in Westport Art Group and participate rath e work of the Town Con­ servation Commission and in Westport De­ fense, an organization to protect the two rivers that form “ the point." I follow my hobbies of painting, sailing, swimming, and cross-country skiing. Many congenial friends have retired here, so life is very pleasant. Do Minsch Hud­ son writes that she was sorry she could not make the 50th, but she and Jim were out of town. They had a “ stimulating but rugged" trip to China last year. Daughter Nancy Bond Sayre '48 and her husband, Stuart, attended the commencement, at Lawrencevllle, of their youngest son, Stuart, who now attends Cor­ nell. (See MA '53 for news of Do's son, Nelson L. “Pete” Bond, Jr.) Do and Jim have sold their house in Essex Fells, and plan to live on the Cape and in Florida.

Old pal Fred Porter, wife Arljne, two dogs and three cats have moved back North after a long and enjoyable residency in Carolina Beach, NC. Fred received an offer he couldn’t

19

refuse, a promotion by Industrial Risk Insurers to district supeH sing engineer for New Jersey. Someone with Fred’s extensive q g perience was needed to help "crack the rash of incendiarism.” The Porters now make Shark River Hills home on a spot 300 feet from water in two directions and about 50 feet above the water. “ A great view," Fred says.

Maybe he should invite all of us to join him for a “ weekend reunion" next s im m e r! Next comes news from Nelson L. “Pete” Bond, a former classmate who attended 10th grade with us and switched to Montclair High to graduate in '53. He writes: "Seeing pictures of many old friends and reading about many others in your column and those of some of the other classes found me struck by a feeling of nostalgia I hadn'texperienced in years.”

Pete has led a busy life in more ways than one.

He has two sets of twigs, Nelson and Sally, 20; Susan and Betsy, 16, and another son, Trevor, 18. Both Sally and Trevor attend Lehigh from which Pete graduated (he also received an MBA from Harvard Business School). After careers M i publishing, management con­ sulting, and investment banking, Nels is now president of Blood Pressure Testing, Inc., which operates in Delaware, Maryland, Washington, and northern Virginia. At Pete’s request, I’m sending him a list of our class but, u the meantime, he asks "any of the old gang who are passing nearby” to contact him. He lives in: a Baltimore suburb, at 13019 Old Hanover Road, Reisterstown, MD 21136. You can reach him at the office, 301-526-5557, or at home, 301^® -5707.

Finally, we have more clippings from the West Coast which reveal that classmate Bob W einm ann’s continirag crusade against medical fraud (see previous issues discussing Bob’s lively and no-holds-barred newsletter) 3s reaping results. His efforts, along with the Union of American Physicians and Dentists of which he is j i member, produced the resigna­ tion of deputy director in charge of California’s Medi-Cal audits and investigation division. Dr. Bob charged that "double billing" and "ghost” surgery charges were common practice at two leading state medical centers. Bob cur­ rently may be as popular with certain physi­ cians as Jimmy Carter in Boston, but his firepower is a hit with long-suffering taxpayers and patients. Let's put him to work in Washington!

That’s it f o f t i s issue and I hope the above will “ inspire” more of you to reminisce like Pete Bond, to advise of new challenges like Fred Porter, to tell us if you're stirring up the waters like Bob Weinmann or just to use the column to renew old acquaintances. And don’t forget to send along some photos!

WANTED: Alumni to provide a vital communication link!

W e have been very pleased with the response we received from our last re­ quest for Class Secretaries, but, as you will see, there are still spots to fill. The Alumni Office will send you mailing labels with

20

your classmates’ names and addresses and, also, will reproduce a letter if you wish. It’s a great way to renew old friend­ ships and contribute a fine service; and it only requires a few hours twice a year.

Members of classes without a Secretary at the moment, please continue to mail your news directly to the Alumni Office.

J j t TKS Miss Georgia Carrington, Secretary Westtown School Westtown, PA 19395 Guests of Dr. Frances O’Connor at the H o m eco m in g L u ncheon w e re: A u bin Zabriskie Ames, Georgia Carrington, Mary Lee Bonnell Collins, Maree Callahan Currey, June Hayward Foster and John, Gael Seton Habernickei and Max ’5 l | f Janet Cook Phillips, C.Y. Treene, Vicki Wendt West, Anna W amick Winner and Donn, Tilly-Jo Beatty Emerson, and Leslie Bunce.

Following the cocktail party, the class gathered at C.Y. Treene’s house for a buffet supper.

Celebrating their 25th reunion were Leslie Bunce, June Hayward Foster, Vicki Wendt West, Aubin Zabriskie Ames, Mary Lee Bonnell Collins, Georgia Carrington, Anita Bleeker Kahrl, Maree Callahan Currey, C. Y. Mann Treene, Mary Case Durham, Pat Taylor Dill, Janet Cook Phillips.

And there we were a pretty Impressive lot we decided — seventeen In number by the time we assembled. Many ¡husbands joined our ranks in the evening, along with five ’54 Montclair Academy alums and their wives.

Casey Durham came from Houston where last year she earned her degree from the University. She has an eighteen-year old daughter who aspires to become an actress, and a son with whom Casey went on a wind­ jammer cruise this past summer. Casey is contemplating a further degree. Mary Lee Bonnell Collins and Dick travelled from Arizona. Mary Lee ^ still active, jp a l l ^ e medical wives’ activities. This is a travel year for the Collinses; they will be skiing at theirhome in the mountains and also taking a ‘side’ trip to Maui. Mary Lee encourages us to come and visit. It's a whole new world out that way.

Anita Bleecker Kahrl and Tom arrived from Pittsburgh. They have two children, a son at St. Mark’s, and a daughter at the Ellis School.

Anita is painting a great deal and ¿tigs; just become one of the artists for Portrait&lnc., in New York.

From Connecticut came quite a crew. Pat Taylor Dill took a little time off from the real estate business in Simsbury. She has three teenagers, two boys and a girl. June Hay­ ward Foster and John live in Darien,, Junie still plays a lot of tennis and says she is now in the process of straightening out her forehand, (see MA ’54) Marian Miller Castell and Dick are also in Darien. Because of her campaign to save the Darien Town Hall, Marian was the Republicans' (and the town’s) choice for Selectperson. She gives Mrs. Winner’s elocu­ tion classes credit for her ability to speak §o convincingly to an audience. As for the other Winners, Anna W amick Winner and Donn, they aj® really involved. Their jives have been filled with travelling to exotic places — in­ cluding a four year stint in Turkey. Donn is on » a n from the Air Force to the Defense Intel­ ligence Agency where he i| l n charge of 400 foreign military attachés in Washington. Anna works in public affairs foffihe Secret Service and is well on her way to a master's degree in public :;Mip§tions from American University.

Anna and Donn have five daughters. Their eldest is a freshman at Harvard Law School.

From Scarsdale, NY came Gael Seton Habernickei and Duke ’,51. They have two daughters in college, one at Wooster, and one at Bucknell. The younger two, still at home, keep Gael busy on the car pool circuit, but she still finds time for tennis and paddle. The Habernickels did some hiking in the Rockies last sum m er with th e ir two oldest. M aree Callahan Curry and Dick arrived from Sum­ mit where they live witjai their two daughters and one poodle. Kathy, the oldest, is quite a tennis player, and Lynne plays goif with her parents. Maree is quite an athlete herself these days, but the big news is that she'sm the travel business.||you want “ b.etter-than-firstclass service" with individual a tte n tio n call Maree. Tlllie-Jo Beatty Emerson is really into something interesting. She and three other women have an agency called "Management Training with a Soft Touch." Although they've been in business only about a year, they already list Drew University and the Episcopal Diocese of Newark as clients. Impressed? I am.

We were êgitertained at a lovely dinner hosted by Montclairites Leslie Bunce, Aubin Zabriskie Ames, Mimi Evans Harmon and Janet Cook Phillips at C.Y. Mann Treene’s home. The Treene's have three children, the oldest is at Colgate. C.Y. is in charge of all the local giïA’s, which she is attempting to organize. How’s that for a headache? Janet and John have a nice trio, a boy at Franklin and Marshall, a boy at Kent, and a girl at MKA. Leslie is very excited having just started life all over as a banker. Aubin, as we well know, is president of the MKA board. She and Line have two sons and a daughter. Then there's Mimi.

She and a friend have formed a repertory theater company. Mimi spends much of her time touring in plays w h S they present for

conventions, retirement communities, etc.

Mimi and Bob's son is another member of the college set.

We really heard from the absentees too!

Maybe we should have a 25th more often. The jffta te of N o rth D akota cla im s Daw n Ramhurst Ballmann. Dawn is a public health nurse, and serves on the governor’s Commit­ tee for Vocational Rehabilitation of the state of • North Dakota and the Legislative Committee for the American Nurses Association. She and her husband, who teaches political science, Have two daughters age? 13 and 12: Lynn Towner Dodd was off at parents' weekend at Ohio Wesleyan. She works at MKA as an ad­ ministrative assistant to Dr. O'Connor. Fluffy Ferguson Morse and Reggie also had a parents' day to attend. Anne Van Vleck Webb Is a landscape designer and Is feeling the pangs of losing two daughters at once, one to Pomona College and one to ChoateRosemary Hall. Anp: says "Roger has re­ juvenated two handsome buildings In Boston and set up a management firm. I do the book­ keeping to support my fun but uneconomical occupation." Barbara Hobart Valbuena and Julian are s t ilB Newark, Delaware. Daughter Theresa is studying at the University of Delaware, and Vivian Is at Tatnall. A timely let­ ter from Lee Wood Audbuy told me of their delightful three weeks on the coast of England with Lee's mother. Lee has two children, Leslie, 6, and Thomas, 4. She J4 now faced with the ultimate deadline for her dissertation — it’s this year or never, so she Is teaching less and researching more. Good Luck! In the Philadelphia area, five of us live within about a fifteen mile radius, but hardly ever cross paths.

Silvia Middleton Seymour and Dave have two children, a son at St. Andrew’s and a 4th grade daughter. Sylvia Is a secretary now but she plans to pick up her study of music again.

Amy Roberts Beebee and one other woman run the Malvern Library. Amy has two children, a daughter at Gettysburg and a son at Devon Prep. Bill travels quite a bit for Dupont. Tookie Onderdonk Dudden continues to win awards as a graphic designer. Tookie and Arthur wonder where their child, Alexis, came from as she Is a S I grade star athlete In hockey and soccer. She also plays the flute, so Tookie can make some claim for her musical talent. Also ^ the area is Rosie Glass Baldwin. I hope to have some news of Rosie in time for the next magazine.

Well, that's It. I just go from day to day at Westtown, puzzling over how to teach Dostoyevsky to seniors,, soothing ruffled feathers, handing out Kleenex to weeping girls, and wondering why at 4M M i living in a dormitory. Kimberley should have taught me something 11 drove to Denver this summer in a Jeep to do some camping, so I had a week or so In Colorado. Otherwise, I played tennis and reviewed the Dean’s policy. (It's been a few years since the last time I had that role.) It was great fun to see so many of you and to hear from such a large number of others! So many memories. As I write this, the radio is playing “ Love Walked In," an appropriate song if there

ever was one. Do you remember Fall Frolic our junior year? Our Triumphal Tribute to Gershwin? Well, I’d say that on Alumni Day we gave a pretty triumphal tribute to MKA! MA Donald Karp, Secretary 18 Shawnee Road Short Hills, AIJ 07078 Among those attending th,e Homecoming Luncheon in October were: George Kramer and Carole, John Foster and June Hayward Foster, Hoby Van Deusen and Nancy, Jake Jacobus and Phil Donlin.

LamarrTsufura sends his best from the University of Richmond, and Roy Pink ris working hard at Vanderbilt. I am busy singing with the University of Kentucky Choristers. We did a television special , last month and an album is i™the process. I’m also part of a prison ministry outside of Lexington, which is pretty exciting. Hope y’all got through mid­ terms in one piece. Am looking forward to see­ ing everyone over the holidays. God bless y'all special.

Homecoming 1979 — Class of 7 9 Front: Lori Dewey, Shawn Mahieu, Paul Thompson, Bruce Eng, David Nolle Back: Patty Karl, Ginny Hall, Lisa Godlewski, Chet Juall, Ken Dioguardi, Larry Duca, Gardner Semet, Tony Barnes, Dan Kiselik, Bryan Gordon, Andy Rod, Larry Principe Notes from Lori: Suzi Flagg writes that she is taking, along with her other courses, "an ad­ vanced art course which jEjns from 1:30-5:20 Mondays and Wednesdays.” Steve Dodd is at Ohio Wesleyan and having a great time along with Mike Sullivan. Steve has joined a fraternity, ASE, and is hopeful that he will make the lacrosse team this spring. Sally DePiro is at Smith College and reports that her economics course would not be so easy had it not been for Mr. Gibson. She recently spent a weekend at Cape Cod with some of her friends. Stacy Gale is having a fantastic time at Jacksonville University. The only problem that she has encountered deals with paying her phone bills.

Tony Bames, who is at the University of Virginia, has just recently become a member of the basketball team, and Erden Kimel says that he is very happy managing the girls volley­ ball team at George Washington University.

Ken Dioguardi is enjoying Montclair State and is involved on both the water polo and swim teams. He is quite happy that he did not leave his mother's home cooking. Dana Cestone and Tina Celentano are happy at Wittenberg and get to see Vanessa Nobel on occasion. Vanessa has just pledged a sorority.

Ginny Hall and Patty Karl both love Lafa­ yette College. ^ B a m very happy at Moravian College. The work keeps me busy, but I manage to get home once in a while. Next semester i look for­ ward to pledging a sorority. If you have any r a formation that you would like printed, please send it to me.
