It is an interesting phenomenon that independent schools today are seeing an increase in applicants, in spite of the shrinking school-age population, difficult economic times and soaring educational costs.

The Montclair Kimberley Academy has increased numbers of applicants at all grade levels, particularly in the Middle and Upper Schools. Parents state that in hard times a good education is the one gift they can give their children to guarantee a strong future.

Those of us responsible for providing that education accept an ever-increasing obligation to offer our students the best possible teachers, programs and learning environment. MKA has been through an extensive curriculum review this year, and the revisions for next fall (1981 -82) reflect this commitment.

The Primary School will house Kindergarten through Grade 4, instead of stopping at Grade 3. Relocating fourth graders at the primary campus puts them in an atmosphere most conducive to their developmental stage. It also provides an opportunity to reinforce basic reading, writing and arithmetic skills before these students move on to the more varied program at the Middle School.

Sound reading ability is a key to educational success and enjoyment. To be sure that all our young students get a strong and pleasant start in reading, the program at Brookside is being expanded. The faculty are working on a reading program that includes listening to good literature, choosing books for oneself, developing word skills and responding creatively to reading. A new library will be located in a large sunny room where students can read and choose their materials from a growing collection of children’s books.

The Primary School will also be introducing all of its students to the computer <For most of them, the computer will serve as a learning and teaching tool to reinforce grammar, arithmetic and word recognition. A few of the more interested students may move on to elementary programming and computer literacy, as an aspect of the enrichment program. Instrumental music will be added to the already rich arts program. Social studies and science programs will be strengthened, and all students will continue with the current physical education and eurythmics program.

The Middle School,Rousing grade| five through eight, will also see changes. We are anticipating a larger number of students in each of these grades, though section size will remain at sixteen. The core academic program will remain, but additional flexi­ bility has been added for the children of greater and lesser-than-average learning ability. A reading teacher will be added to provide both remedial help and enrichment.

Students in the fifth through eighth grades who are struggling with any aspect of arithmetic or the language arts will receive second instruction during the school day.

Those who are progressing easily through their subjects will be introduced to foreign languages starting either in the fifth or seventh grades. Talented linguists will be able to receive one to two years credit during their middle school years and enter high school at the second or third year level of the language. While most students take Math 8, particularly gifted ones may advance through Algebra I or even Geometry. All Middle

School students will be given computer education to develop computer literacy, some basic programming skills, and to familiarize themselves with the computer as a learning tool. French lessons, grammar drills, math exercises and social studies and science simulations are among the ways the computer will be used instructionally. The rigorous Upper School curriculum will include “second instructionBn Algebra I next year.

Rather than “tracking" students by ability levels and thus watering down some classes, the courses will be maintained at their present level and faculty will meet regularly with students who need extra help. Similar flexibility is being achieved in foreign languages and science. Faculty have developed programs in these disciplines which are suitable for young people of limited interest and talent, as well as advanced programs for those whose strengths lie in these fields.

A unified social studies curriculum, organized around major concepts, prepares students to understand the complexities of world politics, economics and social systems. The English Department will continue to stress a good understanding of literature, clear expression In speech and writing, and firm logical thought. The foreign language program, offering French, Spanish, Latin, Russian and Greek, demands a knowledge of grammar and literature, as well as the ability to speak and understand the language. Instruction in the fine and performing arts continues to be part of every student’s secondary education. Physical education and a full after-school sports program reflect the Academy’s commitment to physical well being and healthy competition.

While a strong school’s curriculum is always evolving, the extent of the changes at MKA this coming year are the result of intensive curriculum review this winter. We believe that these changes will strengthen the Academy’s programs and permit us to do an even better job of meeting the needs of our diverse and talented student body. To provide a broad choice, insure flexibility and maintain a rigorous and fast-paced college preparatory program demands outstanding teachers, and first class equipment and facilities. MKA has both. We are equally fortunate in having another essential: alumni, parents and friends who provide the financial support necessary for the Academy to maintain its leadership among the nations inde­ pendent schools. Frances R. O’Connor, Ed.D.

Nearly all of MKA’s faculty act as advisors and all are called on, from time to time, to help a child who Is experiencing some difficulty at home, at school, or within h im self For this reason, the Middle and Upper School faculty were particularly interested in a workshop on adolescence which was held here In early January. Dr. Robert P. Masland, Chief of Adolescent Medicine at The Children's Hospital in Boston, and two associates, Dr. Gwendolyn Gladstone, a pediatrician from Exeter, NH, and Dr. Claire Wilson, physician for Phffips Academy in Andover, MA, conducted lecture and workshop discussions of the physical, social, emotional and psychological growth of young people from the ages of ten to eighteen. The workshops dealt with communi­ cation between parents and teachers as well as with students.

At the opening meeting each doctor spoke briefly about various aspects of adolescent development. Pointing out that the rate of development differs quite drastically from one adolescent to another and that girls mature considerably earlier than boys, the doctors discussed the importance of these facts. Peers, parents and teachers react differently to children who mature early.^Hor example, the early maturing boy, because of physical appearance, is expected to perform socially, athletically and scholastically at a higher level than a late maturer of the same age. For a boy, early maturation frequently leads to an enhanced self-image and, interestingly, often predicts leadership and success in both school and in later life. An almost opposite reaction occurs with the early maturing girls who often feel self-conscious and out-of-place among their peers, and may well achieve at a lower level than their later maturing friends.

Dr. Masland summarized the major characteristics of adolescence as follows:-

Stage in Development

Adolescent Awareness

Early Adolescent (10-15 years) Middle Adolescent (15-18 years) Late Adolescent (18-21722 years)

Consciousness of changes in body and appearance Sexual awakening Separation and loss anxiety

After the opening presentation, MKA faculty broke into three groups, each led by one of the doctors. The case study method was used to examine problems of adolescence and methods that might be used by teachers to respond to these needs. The faculty was particularly concerned to discuss how to fulfill their: roles as counselors and advisors, make a difference to their students, yet not overstep appropriate bounds.

Following the first round of discussions, there was again a lecture. This time the doctors focused on normal problems of adolescence which have physical or emotional bases. Student anxiety, certain athletic injuries, school phobia, and weight problems were discussed. The doctors emphasized the importance of having a professional diagnose the cause of the problems.

When speaking of the great value of sports for teenagers, Dr. Wilson cautioned that sports “ put pressure on the student to perform and that sometimes this pressure from parents, coaches and athletic programs can be detrimental^ All three doctors underlined the role of sports in enhancing a student’s sepimage and helping him to adjust to his changing life. Dr. Gladstone advised parents and teachers to be aware of a student’s capabilities, and direct him to a sport at which he can be successful.

The final workshop discussed the problem of depression, an emotional state ex­ perienced by most adolescents at some time. Dr. Masland pointed out that in early stages of adolescence, depression could correspond to the changes in the adolescent’s body and appearance, particularly with youngsters who mature either very early or very late. In mid-adolescence, depression is often caused by problems of emerging sexual identity. Dr. Masland, a specialist in anorexia nervosa, spoke briefly on this weight and emotional problem and also on obesity. Young people suffering from these conditions generally have a distorted body image and may be experiencing a fear of growing up.

Dr. Gladstone then led a discussion on diet and nutrition. She pointed out that most teen-aged girls are pre-occupied with their weight. In fact, at any one time at least one-third of them will be on a diet and half of them will think that they should be.

She also pointed out that teenagers have different eating habits than adults and that snacking is characteristic of the age. They are particularly addicted to fast foods.

Parents and teachers, she added, should be aware that snacking is significant and should help youngsters to plan their diet with this in mind.

The workshop ended with a discussion led by Dr. Masland on the parallels between adult growth and adolescent growth.||phe chart below illustrates the concerns of the adolescent which are repeated again in adulthood.

ADOLESCENCE

ADULTHOOD

Early (10-15 years) Middle (15-18 years) ; Late (18-21 /2 2 years)

Body Changes Sexuality Separation and Loss Anxiety

Early (22-40 years) Middle (40-60 years) Late (60+ years)

Dr. Masland suggested that these parallels are sometimes the source of conflict between adults and adolescents. For example, parents in their forties may be absorbed in their own sexual identity at the same time their seventeen year oid'child is discovering his. This can lead to confusion for both. For this reason, adolescents often find a grandparent or other older adult particularly supportive for the older person has often made his peace with the developmental turmoil which is plaguing both the parent and the child.

This workshop was a part of MKA’s on-going professional training for f a e i l i f ^ ^ H this instance for their role as advisors. Additional training sessions in parent-studentteacher relationships were held at the opening of the school year. A school psychologist will be added to the staff next year to further assist faculty in this important role.

By Burgess N. Ayres, Headmaster of the Upper School A judgpjnterrupts a trial to explain the particulars of the Law to a group of students sitting in the courtroom. A fourteen year old boy explains the intricacies of the Soviet Union's Five Year Agricultural Plan to a fellow student. Unusual happenings?

Yes, but both are a part of the Montclair Kimberley Academy’s introductory course to social studies for ninth grade students. Convinced that it is more important to understand the complex social, political and economic issues that underlie history than it is to quote names, dates and battles, MKA’s faculty has designed a unique ninth grade social studies course. CPS-CES (Contemporary Political Systems - Comparative Economic Systems) focuses on the two super powers: the United States and the Union of the Soviet Socialist Republics. A text, designed by Edwin Fenton, an editor of Holt, Rhinehart, Winston, provides approximately, sixty short read­ ing assignments for the student. Each assignment includes one or more pieces of primary source material taken from newspapers, books, government documents and other publicationsi^The reader is not inundated with complex reading material, but rather with short clear statements of facts and issues. The ninth grade students learn to identify problems, develop hypotheses, gather information and come to logical conclusions. Since the inception of the program, teachers have enriched the basic text with special readings. Ken Gibson, who teaches a majority of the sections on the economic side, incorporated a study of the medieval system which allows students to compare the economic and political systems in the United States, the Soviet Union and medieval Europe. Peter Perretti, in turn, placed a greater emphasis on student essays. Bob Hemmeter, the Chairman of the Social Studies Department, and teacher of the politics in this introductory course, brings law students to class to talk about constitutional law. Bob’s class is the one which takes a field trip to the Essex County Courthouse so that students can experience the workings of our legal system. The field trip extends the theoretical model taught in the classroom to the “ real world”. Students even have the opportunity to question the judge after their day in court. Three years ago, Bob Sinner and Betty Wedel replaced the original CPS text which had become outdated with more current materials.

This course is one example of the curriculum being developed by MKA faculty; 'It serves as a strong introduction to the history and social studies courses which the students will encounter later in high school and in college. It has the additional strength of being developed by our own faculty to meet the specific educational and affective needs of MKA students.

Each year in June, the Social Studies faculty review this introductory course, make whatever changes they feel necessary in content, and re-examine their basic premises and goals. Discussions on teaching methods, study techniques, oral and written presentations, and student attitudes form part of this review. It is no wonder that CPS-CES is rated as one of the most popular and outstanding courses in the Upper School.

Mom, Dad and Huckleberry Finn (or What encourages Johnny to read?)

By Avalin Greene, Reading Co-ordinator

While parents and literature have been part of learning to read for generations, today both are enjoying prime time in the reading field as educators search for ways to ensure successful early reading experiences and to create a love for reading in young people. Professionals asking: “What will encourage Johnny to read?” realize early reading success is basic to continued reading pleasure.

The journey to successful reading begins long before Johnny enters school. This is where Mom and Dad come into the picture. Parental involvement is a key in producing successful readers. Do parents need special training? Must parents become teachers for their child to succeed? The answer Is a resounding “NO!" The recruiting sign reads: “ PARENTS WITH A LITTLE TIME AND INTEREST NEEDED - NO SPECIAL TRAINING REQUIRED”.

All that Is required is that time be spent with child: talking with him, reading to him.

This should begin in the child’s very early years and continue well Into his s c h o o l ' years. As reading specialists examine the parents’ role in promoting a love of reading, it becomes obvious that while some of the task is accomplished unconsciously in the normal parent-child relationship, some of it requires a little more thought and planning.

For example, reading requires language skills - skills that parents give their children when they label the things they see around them. Patiently answering the hundreds of ‘why’ and ‘what’ questions their three year old asks them, they are language models for their child, providing him with words, their meanings, and how to combine them into sentence structures. Parents prepare their child for reading success when they listen to him talk and when they take the time to understand exactly what.it is that he wants to share with them. Seemingly simple experiences which parents can give their children prepare them for reading success: a walk in the garden or a trip to a museum. Sharing the impact of these experiences through follow-up discussion is part of the preparation.

An early interest In books is a wonderful gift from parents to their children. Providing the child with books of his own and reading to him is a key to later reading achieve­ ments. Even very young children enjoy looking at picture books and listening to stories. A child learns, too, from observing others reading because he senses its Importance.

Where does Huckleberry Finn fit into the picture? Teachers know that Huckleberry Finn and other adventure stories have the power to capture and hold a young reader. The tale which captures is a good teaching tool. While today’s teachers have a number of carefully designed reading programs to give children the skills to read fluently and with understanding, they continue to search for materials to enrich their programs - materials with which to interest and stimulate the imagination of the young. Poems, plays, short stories and novels are readily available in school libraries or In inexpensive paperback form. Excitement and suspense are excellent teaching instruments. Teachers know that when a child Involves himself in a story that both frightens and tantalizes, the student will’ stick with It to Its conclusion.

Children learn to read by reading. The more the child reads, the better reader he will become. Good literature is proving strong enticement for today’s young people.

The route to reading through literature is an ancient one, but one that is In good repair today. Mom, Dad and Huckleberry Finn, old chestnuts in the reading field, are enjoying a newly re-discovered Importance.

There is nothing new in parent participation in the reading process. It is not unique.

It is being highlighted today because of its recognized impact on learning performance.

An added joy for parents Is that, as they make a significant contribution to their child’s early reading success, they Interact with their child in a special way they would not want to miss.

Notes from Around MKA SENIOR PUBLISHES ARTICLE ON INDIAN AFFAIRS MKA senior Jerem y Wood spent last summer working as an intern at the Institute for the Develop­ ment of H ndian Law in Washington, D.C. From this experience, he wrote an article entitled: “Non Indian High School Education Has Serious Flaws” which was published in the American Indian Journal.

Jeremy's thesis is that Indian affairs should betaken oCjt of the realm of past his­ tory and taught as current events in secondary schools.

Jeremy hopes to study political science and eco­ nomics when he goes to college next fall with the intention of pursuing a government career.

SPRING IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER The Spring Fine Arts Festival, five evenings of visual and performing arts held at the Middle and Upper Schools in April and May, will give students an opportunity to show off their talents to parents and other guests.

Burgess Ayres Named Headmaster of Wardlaw-Hartridge

Burgess N. Ayres Head­ master of the Upper School since 1976 has resigned to accept the position of Head­ master at the WardlawHartridge School beginning July 1. Wardlaw-Hartridge is an independent school, K-12, in Plainfield, NJ with a student body of 580. Mr. Ayres, a graduate of Lake Forest Col­ lege and the University of Hartford, came to MKA from

The Gunnery School where ,he taught history and was Director of Admissions. A First Lieutenant in the United States Army, he served as an Aide to the Chief of Staff at Fort Campbell, KY and as post protocol officer.

MKA Principal Dr. Frances R. O'Connor says, “We will miss Burge at MKA but re­ joice S i , the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead for him. During his five years here, his calm, judgmerm and humor «united and strengthened the campus as it built its own identity after the merger. He brought a sense of perspective and fun to the campus. No one can forget his sessions in the auditorium before ,final, exams, where jokes and trivia relaxed both students and faculty. Many of us have

come to rely on him in the multifaceted. aspects of running the s c h o o ^ K Mr. Ayres,|| assessingihe past five years credits “the extraordinary strength of the faculty that I’ve been able to head.

We’ve built from strength, our collective crea­ tivity and strength. My jpb was coordinator and that’s where my success liés.” Mr. Ay res explains that he tried to fashion his job in terms of areas of responsibility. "For example my first year we were concerned that girls’ athletics were as equal as boys.

I coached boys’ hockey and girls’ softball that year. In my second year I was advisor to ten students, because we were paying attention to the role of advisor that year.” Mr. Ayres also elected to teach botiHbe-

cause he enjoyed teaching, and also, he explains, be­ cause it puts him in touch with students. Two accom­ plishments Mr.. Ayres feels are sigrjjjjjcant of his tenure are the structural change of the Executive Committee so that students and faculty work jointly resolving major disciplinary problems and recommending preventative measure,^ and the institution of a work-option for students facing detention..

A recent article I i h the Academy News quoted Mr. Ayres as to his decision to take the position at Wardlaw: “I looked for many of the things we have at MKA, a committed and able faculty and a student body that , ip serious about learning and wants more than a class­ room education.”

Curtain’s Up . . . !€| Si "Eifì»

A high point of every school year at MKA is the Upper School stage production of a Broadway show, this year “Kiss Me, Kate”. So popu­ lar are these musicals that tickets always sell out.

To put on a show of the calibre that MKA students have been Mounting since 1974, can cost as much as $6,000. But thanks to pro­ fessional expertise, students learn sound economics as well as stagecraft. Not only do the plays recoup their cost, they make money.

In the past, the drama depart­ ment has used these profits to buy special equipment for the theatre.

The returns from “South Pacific” (74) for example were used to purchase a piano; profits from “My Fair

10

ILl C||HItlb*

Lady” (79) provided a cyclorama; and last year “Fiddler On The Roof” made possible the purchase of a new drop.

Drama director Marilyn Faden plans to use the pro­ ceeds from “Kiss Me, Kate” to helponance a “patch­ board” , the panel from which the stage’s lighting is orches­ trated. She explains that it will “take more than the proceeds from just one show to buy this, but we can start saving.”

Lighting instruments, an intercom, extra drops, and scrims, a black velour mid­ stage traveler, and workings for a closed circuit TV are other theatrical fixtures which have been made possible because at MKA students and faculty are dedicated to staging a success.

Ice hockey fans were el­ bow to elbow as they crowd­ ed into Montclair Arena to see alumni teams from MKA and Montclair High renew their old rivalry this past season.

Coach Tony Daur and Captain Steve Dodd (79) put the MKA alumni team to­ gether from a slate of past MKA super skates. Calling themselves the “Has Beens" the alumni took on the MHS “Old Men” in a style that kept their traditional foes at bay until well into the third quarter.

Included in the MKA roster

were: Ted Nevins (76) and his brother Bill (77), Peter Dodd (’80), David Dunigan (79), Phil Molinaro (79), Bruce McBratney (78), Rob Cerfolio (’80), Curt G a rrig a n ( ’80), P e te r Adams (77), Ken Rockhlll (75), Mike Platt (77), Eric Betke (’80) and Lee Shearin (’80).

The popularity of the game was such that plans are 'Underway for a second Annual A lum ni H ockey Game next season.

FACULTY NOTES After a year's leave of absence to earn a Master's degree in Education at Harvard Peter Perretti (72) returned to the Upper School where he teaches history.

Charles (Chip) Read (76) returned to his alma mater this year to teach algebra and geometry.

Barbara Mamchur, a past president of the Verona Board of Education, and Virginia Moore, originally from the Dominican Repub­ lic, joined the language department at the Upper School.

EXCERPTS FROM THE

ACADEMY NEWS Vol. VII No. 6

Montclair Kim berley A cad e m y

Volleyball Team Wins States The girls' volleyball team ended the 1981 season with an 8-5 record.

The most exciting moment of the 1881 season came in the A Division Championships, where MKA was seeded third behind Kent Place and Saint Elizabeth's Academy. In the first round, the squad faced se c o n d s e e d e d S a in t Elizabeth’s Academy. In the first game, the team was down 11-3, but the players gained confidence and came back to win the game and the match, 15-13, 15-5. In the semi-finals, MKA faced the Kent Place School. Kent Place won the first game of the match, 15-13, but the girls came back to win their first game against Kent Place, 15-13. Unfortunately, Kent Place came back to win the third game, 15-8, and the match.

In the finals, the squad again faced Kent Place.

Having lost to them three times during the season and once already during the tournament, the girls were d e te r m in e d to a v e n g e their defeats. They easily won th e f i r s t g a m e , 15-11.

However, a little nervous about being so close to victory, the girls lost the second game, 15-1. In the third gam e, Kent Place gained a 12-5 lead. However, Pam Berkowsky served the team to within one point of a tie. With the score 12-11 Kent Place could not enlarge its lead, and Stacey Ballen tied the score at 12-12. Again, Kent Place could not score, and C a rm ella D eC andia scored the thirteenth point,

14

making the score 13-12 in the C o u g a r s ’ f a v o r ’.

Unfortunately, Kent Place scored again, tying the game at 13-13. Joanne Wallace then put the ball in play and gained two points and thus

the v ic to ry . The squad became the state champions by defeating Kent Place, 15-11,1-15,15-13.

Because most of the squad is composed ot seniors, next

year’s team will be built around Angela DeCandia, Carmella DeCandia and Pam Miller. One hopes that next year's team will follow the same road to success as Its 1961 predecessors.

Cable Program Features Students

by Liz Abrams and K yle Curtin

A dolescent v alu es and ethics were the subjects in question when, on February 17, nine upper school students volunteered to participate in an open panel discussion led

by Shirley Sim pson, an employee of Cablevision’s TV-3.

The discussion will be worked into the network’s program called, the “Vital Link.” The “Vital Link” deals primarily with adult views on issues in today’s society, but producers felt that including adolescent opinions would provide viewers with a better more in-depth perspective,

and a standard by which to measure changes in values and morals In society.

M rs. S im p s o n p o se d q u e stio n s w hich fo rced students to examine their values and today’s society.

The students seemed to agree that young people value friendships and their families most. They believe th at common characteristics often sought in friends are respect, loyalty, and honesty. Students did not seem to think that getting older and maturing would have much effect on their value systems on the whole, but of course, time

would change some individual values.

The issue of patriotism e v o k e d m a n y p o s itiv e c o m m e n t s F ro m t h e participants. The students ascrib ed th e ' decline in n a tio n a l s p i r i t to o u r involvement in Vietnam. Yet they believe that the return of the American hostages has rekindled the American spirit and feelings of unity.

When asked what standards they thought were dissolving in society, students responded m arriage and friendships.

They have noticed a great decline in the importance of

marriage over the last ten years and feel concerned about this problem.

Both the students and Mrs. Simpson agreed th at the discussion was beneficial.

Mrs. Simpson reflected, “the discussion helped answer society’s questions about teenage views and some of my own questions.” Older viewers will be able to relate adolescent opinions to their own and judge value changes which have o ccurred in generations. The discussion urged the students to analyze themselves and their role in society.

N e w H e a d m is tre s s a t B ro o k s id e P rincipal Francis R. O’Connor has announced the appointment of Anita B. Cole as Headmistress of the Lower School, and the retirement of Francine D eC otiis, B ro o k s id e ’s Headmistress for seven years. Mrs. Cole has been Interim Headmistress this year while Mrs. DeCotiis has been on sick leave due to orthopedic surgery.

Says Dr. O'Connor, “We are all saddened by Mrs. DeCotiis’ continuing dis­ ability. Her warmth, love of

ch ild re n , and years of teaching and administra­ tive experience made the Primary School a very spe­ cial place.” Mrs. DeCotiis has been with M KA for six­ teen years, first as Head of the Lower School at Kimberley, moving in 1974 to Brookside.

Mrs. Cole came to M KA from The Pingry School whereshe was Administra­ tive Assistant and Music Director. She has taught music and music appre­ ciation, and also has an

educational background in curriculum pla nn ing and faculty development.

Mrs. Cole is a graduate of St. Elizabeth's College and hasdonegraduateworkin educating the gifted and talented.

Reflecting upon her first year at MKA, Mrs. Cole says, “ I am very enthu­ siastic a bo ut MKA, its program s, its students, and its warm atm os­ phere. Education should involve more than aca­ demic study. Creativity

and self-respect are equals ly important to the wellrounded” person. I feel fortunate to be part of a school like MKA which believes strongly in this philosophy.”

In d is c u s s in g how pleased she is by Mrs. Cole’s appointment, Dr. O’Connor said, “ Energy and enth us iasm are An ita’s hallmarks, and she has al­ ready won a place in the hearts of her young students.

TKS Mrs. Stewart Carpenter, Secretary (Josephine Fobes) 4 LaSalle Road Upper Montclair, NJ 07043 There’s sad news to report to you this time, Bobby Littlejohn lost her mother in October.

She was a wonderful person and we are sad for.Bobby.

Also, our sympathy to Elizabeth Higgins Thompson on the loss of her two brothers, ■"om and Deck. I received a long letter from Jean Black Jennings who lost her husband, Frederic. He had a heart attack. Jean plans to stay in Oregon where she lives along a beautiful river.

Four of her children are in the west,, too. The fifth lives in Barring­ ton, R.l.

Ruth McCord Alexander visited Jodie Schutt jhSFIorida and went on a short cruise during the Christmas season. The Alexander's also took a wonderful trip to Scandanavia.

Elise Manson Brett writes that her dau­ ghter, Sandy Brett Amsler, '64, is working for the Hoosick Falls (NY) Housing Authority.

Sandy’s daughter, Mejan, is nine. Elise's other daughter, Margi Brett Eckel ’66,. is. a dental lab technician in San Diego, CA. MA John Graham, thirty years a Texan, keeps busy as director of Food Service for a local frozen food manufacturer. His son, a major in the Air Force, flies F-15’s and his daughter lives; ip Tennessee with her husband and three children;,*., Jerome L. Yesko is Gov. Byrne’s Com­ missioner of Bergen County, New Jersey's Board of Taxation. He hears residential, commercial, farmland and industrial appeals as well as tax equalization and rebate appeals from local property taxation.

Don Mulford (’35) is publisher of the Montclair Times and President of the New Jersey Press Association. He was presented with the Montclair Joint -. Service Clubs’ Outstanding Citizen Award this past year.

WHAT MAKES DON MULFORD TICK? Perhaps it's,.bis passionate love affair with Montclair which has lasted a lifetime.

Perhaps it's what Helen Thomas, United Press International's White House corres­ pondent described as his "happy but pene­ trating outlook on the world around him or what CBS radio correspondent Dallas Townsend, also an MKA alumnus, (’36) re­ ferred to as his "infectious enthusiasm.’’

Perhaps it’s his determination to give Montclair a fine independent community newspaper even if he has to make a personal phone call to every subscriber who doesn’t renew on time.

But maybe it’s the respect for the English language that he learned at the hands of Montclair Academy's famed English teacher, William Barras. As Don puts it, "the three essential ingredients for a good newspaper­ man are a typewriter, a telephone and a good command of the English language. It’s easy to learn to use the first two, but good early training is the key to that last essential skill.”

52 TKS Mrs. Edward C. Fawcett, Secretary (Fay Taft) 9 Gordon Place Montclair, NJ 07042 Mrs. David L. Kerr, Agent (Gail Tomec) Thank you for all your Christmas letters.

Normally I reprint your news in this column, but sometimes something happens that makes all our activities seem like so much trivia and, at this moment, I can only bring myself to report the following: On December 28, 1980, Anne Cook Durey died of cancer. In August, Anne entered The Hospital for Special Surgery jp): New York City, where her sister Joan worked, and ■remained there until death.

Anne ¡^survived by Joan '47; her father, who lives in Arizona; and two sons, Cleave, age 12 and Hunt, age 9. Anne's husband, Forbes, died in July, 1977. Joan will move to Ipswich, MA where Anne lived and will raise Cleave and Hunt.

Those are the facts. But, what I feel in my heart for you, Joan, and for Anne and Cleave and Hunt defies description.. When twentyone girls spend practically every waking moment together for an average of seven

years, they end up feeling like some kind of blood relative. This is the way it was for all of us In the old Kimberley School.

Anne Cook Curey lives and will continue to live in the hearts of twenty girls. Her courage, and yours, Joan, will sustain us.

Two Kimberley graduates have been or­ dained in the Protestant Episcopal Church.

Each has come a different route to this role which so recently (1976) was opened to women.

The Rev. Elizabeth W. Myers (TKS ’53) was graduated from Kimberley in '53, then went on to Smith where she graduated in '57. After graduation she taught Bible and religion at St. Margaret's School, Waterbury, Conn, and in 1959 entered Episcopal Theo­ logical School in Cambridge from which she was graduated. She taught religion and was chaplain at St. Catherine’s School, Richmond, was dean »¡jri Boston, and later Dean of Students at Foxcroft. In 1973, she left the educational world and began assisting in churches in the Diocese of Virginia, and then as assistant minister in Lancaster, Pa. In 1977, following the decision of the Episco­ pal Church to permit the ordination of women, Elizabeth Myers was ordained a priest.

Beginning 1978 she, served for several years as associate rector in Bloomfield Hills at Christ Church, Cranbrook.

Last August she was elected rector of the Church of the Good Shepherd and St. John the Evangelist in Milford, Pa. Of her thoughts on women in the ministry, Elizabeth says, t ‘l find more people, male and female, experiencing a greater whole­ ness in the Church as it comes to have a better balance of males and females in its ordained ministry. Needless to say there have been many hassles, but none of them has diminished my joy in being a woman or my gratitude for having been called to serve as a priest.”

Rev. Elizabeth W. Myers

Lynn Homeyer Ramshaw, a graduate of Kimberley in 1955, found another route to her ordination. Lynn was graduated in 1959 from Ohio Wesleyan, but it was to be another 17 years before Lynn knew ordination would be possible. Lynn married, became a social worker, had three children, divorced "and so became a single parent."

In 1974-75, says Lynn, "My vocation re­ surfaced, related to an experience I had at work. A young man was killed in the pro­ cess of robbing a store to get food for his family. I had been forced to reject his wife’s application for assistance that day - on a technicality. The lack of mercy in the regu­ lations was heavy on me. The result was a suggestion by my priest that I proclaim the need and so I started a small program called TRUE - (Toward the Relief of Urgent Emergencies). It has grown now and exists in 10 Florida parishes. ' began to read for Holy Orders taking extension courses in theological education from Sewanee Seminary at the University of the South and was ordained to the deaconate May 8,1980. I was the second woman to be ordained in Southeast Florida and the only one currently ordained and working here.

My ordination was under a canon which requires that I continue my secular em­ ployment as well. I work as a Program Spe­ cialist on Aging full time for the State and part time am consultant to the Rector of our Parish.

"My personal commitment is to work toward the development of a meaningful deaconate Southern Florida so others will be en­ couraged to offer their gifts. What I notice as different from pre-ordination is the powerful joy of bringing communion to those who cannot come to church (shut-iris) and especially the opportunity to become a whole person. Somehow my identity is being fulfilled. This has been a joyful year for me.”

TKS Miss Georgia Carrington, Secretary Westtown School Westtown, PA 19395 After our enjoyable and exciting reunion in the fall of 79, it was ironic that tragedy should strike so soon. It was a sad and sombre gathering on a morning in June when so many met again for the memorial service for Anita Bleecker Kahrl. The turnout was a real tribute to Anita, as was the service organized by Mimi Evans Hannon and Lynn Towner Dodd. The two of them, and Tookie Onderdonk Dudden, read parts of the service. A group came down from Boston: Fluffy Ferguson Morse, Nell Fisk Herbst, and Dorle Krebs Barnard. Margie Shannon came out from New York, and Tookie and I drove up from Philadelphia. Of course, there was the group from New Jersey: Tillie Jo Beatty Emerson, Cy Mann Treene, Aubin Zabrlskie Ames, Leslie Bunce, Gael Seton Habemlckle and Maree Callahan Cuney. It was a most moving service, and afterwards most of us went back to Mrs. Krebs' where she and Dorie had prepared a lovely lunch for us. It was good for all Of us to be together. We would like to create a memorial in Anita’s name, either to give an annual Art Award at the school or to buy one of Anita's paintings to present to MKA. You will be hearing more.
