Entered as third class matter at Old Saybrook, Ct. 06475

At a recent national conference attended by heads and trustees of private schools, the central address concerned the prob­ lem of evaluating schools. The assembled heads and trustees were asked to list those factors which indicate a strong school, and then to list the qualities each felt were embodied In the most educated man or woman among his acquaintances. The lists were interesting, although not surprising. The first lists all contained items such as cur­ riculum, college entrance records, test scores, facilities, non-classroom programs, advanced degrees held by the faculty, and warmth of atmos­ phere. The qualities of the well educated acquaintance, how­ ever, included a mind directed to a world greater than self, openness to new ideas and to people, the ability to get along with diverse personalities, a curiousity that led to continual learning, the ability to enjoy and to give pleasure, and a sense of humor. The most strik­ ing thing about the two lists was the fact that they resembled each other so little!

II would be hard to find a school that does not state as its basic purpose the edu­ cation of the entire person. Most define this to include education of the mind, the spirit and the body. Schools talk about broadening the horizons of their students, inculcating a love of learning, school spirit and good citizenship. While all of us concerned with schools believe in these values, we find them elusive and hard to quantify when we try to assess any particular school. The temptation to choose the easier route overcomes us, and we look to degrees, test scores, college entrance, AP programs or enrichment programs as the indicators of success.

Children spend a great deal of time in school. While the mathematics, history and art that they learn are all valuable in themselves, the most valuable learning they do during their twelve to fourteen years of pre-college study is learning about life, themselves and others. Hardly anyone would dispute that the qualities that come to mind when we think of a well educated adult are more important than the content of his or her particular knowledge. None of us, however, are fully certain that we know how to promote those qualities.

MKA students, faculty and trustees found themselves asking these very ques­ tions as they prepared to Interview candidates for the position of Headmaster of the Upper School. All spoke of a desire to make the Academy a caring and open environment where students are encouraged to expand their horizons beyond college entrance and personal growth. While recognizing MKA’s established excellence in academic areas, we found ourselves wanting to do more to make our graduates well rounded, well educated young men and women. We quest­ ioned our values—our personal values, those of our community, and the values projected by our school, and concluded that our number one priority for the future is to turn our attention to those values which give education its deepest meaning and man his truest worth.

If you analyze the qualities expected in a well educated, well rounded adult, you will note the emphasis on the ability to go beyond self, to be open to the world, and to grow constantly. Formal education, however, is a self-centered activity. It involves long hours of Intense and isolated study, and smaller amounts of interaction with others. Our methods of evaluating a student’s progress are based on his or her individual achievements. Because study is by its very nature introspective, it takes a deliberate effort on the part of a school to make educa­ tion other-centered. Children are naturally the focus of their own worlds (and the younger the child, the more his world is totally filled with himself). They have to be taught that the world beyond themselves Is significant, and that they are but a piece of it, albeit an important one. The very first step in getting beyond oneself is courtesy. Courtesy is not often mentioned anymore—in fact the word itself seems somewhat old fashioned. And yet courtesy not only makes daily living more pleasant but more importantly, leads one to focus on the worth and needs of other people. Simple courtesies such as holding a door for another, listening without interrupting, speaking politely, and waiting to eat until all are served help children to grow beyond themselves and develop an awareness of others. It is my belief that at the earliest levels of school we must get back to teaching and Insisting on courtesy—even though this sometimes involves a formality that on the surface may appear unnecessary.

But courtesy is only the beginning of going beyond oneself and caring for oth­ ers. Caring doesn’t come automatically; It Is something that is taught—by expla­ nation, example and reward, and learned by the joy that comes from its practice.

Even very young children can care for others. Activities such as UNICEF collec­ tions at Halloween, “clean-up days” at school or at a community park, or acting as host for a visiting child can be organized by schools to be sure that young stu­ dents have opportunities to be of service. As children grow older they can do more to care for others and schools can increase the opportunities for service.

Middle School children can be organized to work for community projects such as recycling, animal shelters, and blood banks. They can help younger children with homework and on the playground. High School students can tutor, visit hospitals and old age homes, and begin to work through local and national politics to improve their communities.

Every school is tempted to feel that academic demands leave no time for these kinds of endeavors. But if schools do not give time to the development of this aspect of their students, then are we not forcing our youngest and most impres­ sionable youth to spend twelve to fourteen years in a world narrowly bounded by themselves and their own intellectual growth? How then can we expect them to turn outward and develop the qualities that mark them as well educated adults?

There is no one answer, but the search for ways to achieve these values must be a major focus of education in the '80’s. Frances R. O’Connor, Ed.D.

by Susan Ruddick Chairman, Educational Policy Committee Board of Trustees

Even with a selected and relatively homogeneous student body, individual differences among students challenge the Montclair Kim­ berley Academy to be flexible and creative. A perennial question around Board tables, faculty meetings and administrative sessions is “ How are we meeting the needs of our gifted students — those with some learning problems — the artist — the athlete, etc.?”

This past year, fifteen MKA seventh graders, who had scored in the 99th percen­ tile on standardized tests, took the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT), the national college entrance exam normally given during the eleventh grade. MKA sought ways to provide appropriate opportunities for these gifted students to reach their potential. Based on the SAT results, four of these seventh graders and two incoming students or the 1981-82 school year qualified to participate in the Johns Hopkins University Talent Search, a program for gifted math students who intuitively know a great deal of math. These students learn math at a far more rapid rate than most and often get discouraged with the normal classroom pace.

One student who participated in the Hopkins summer program, advancing from Algebra I through pre-Calculus, will take Calculus at MKA this fall. A second student who attended a similar program over the summer at Duke University has opted to enter ninth grade instead of eighth.

To accomodate the needs of the remaining qualifying students who did not wish to travel great distances for special instruction, MKA looked into alternative opportunities, including a new Saturday morning program at Drew University in Madison. The foundation funding this program, however, disqualified MKA stu­ dents because Montclair was not a “surrounding” community as defined in the grant given to Drew for this program. MKA then explored the possibility of offering a special math program on our own campus. Working together, the administration and faculty designed a highly individualized math curriculum for the four other young students. They have been placed in a special section this fall where each will work at his/her own pace through post-Calculus. “The real value of this spe­ cial program,” according to Dr. O'Connor, “is to keep these students with their peer group for normal activities, athletics and social development, without holding back their academic progress.”

For the future, MKA will continue to explore concurrent enrollment at Drew as well as a joint program with Montclair State College. The Academy is considering offering Advanced Calculus within two to three years due to the increasing demand from students who have accelerated in mathematics.

Innovative as this math program is, it is only one of the ways MKA accomo­ dates individual differences. Students can advance by skipping one or two years of Middle School arithmetic in the lower grades to move directly into high school level mathematics. Similar flexibility exists in the teaching of foreign languages.

Students who evidence strong basic skills and study patterns can begin foreign language study in the Middle School and in ninth grade enter language classes at advanced levels. In reading, the ability range is wide at every grade level, so all of MKA's English classes are organized to accomodate this diversity.

Advanced Placement courses at the Upper School in English, American His­ tory, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, French and Spanish offer challenges to those students ready to meet them. As another alternative, Upper School students may pursue advanced studies in any discipline with a faculty member as a mentor.

Students who learn quickly are far from being our only focus. MKA believes that every student, at some point in his or her career, will need extra help whether of an intellectual, emotional or physical nature.

We now have a Learning Disabilities specialist on campus to help pinpoint problems of those students who achieve below the norm. Additional teaching time has been scheduled to help less able students master reading and writing skills in grades four through eight and math skills in grades four through nine.

These added time periods allow these students to cover the same curriculum material as the more advanced classes. Individual tutors are available on cam­ pus during the school day, at the parents’ own expense, and, of course, all members of the MKA faculty are available and eager to provide extra help whenever needed.

Summing it all up, Dr. O’Connor says, “Yes, we are certainly excited about the special math program, but the real excitement is our ability to meet the needs of every child.”

PAMKA’s traditional luncheon for the outgoing and incoming Board members was held this year at the Principal’s Residence following the annual meeting in May.

PAMKA meets monthly to coor­ dinate the work of hundreds of parents who through 26 standing and ad hoc committees provide widely varied services and pro­ grams for the Academy.

Brooksiders gaze through a microscope at culture samples taken from their own throats. Upperclassmen stop in at the Survival Shop for an afternoon snack. T he. school nurse receives a continuing education grant to pursue a degree in coun­ seling. A new boiler Is Installed at the Middle School after the Buildings and Grounds Committee assesses an energy efficiency study. The “ Bid For Knowl­ edge” auction brings funds to renovate the libraries on each campus . . . These are just a few of the results of the volunteer efforts of MKA’s parents, alumni and friends. At MKA volunteers do everything from running the snow day alert to Investing the school’s endowments.

In The Classroom Parents and alumni have lectured on all three campuses, presenting a particular interest, experience or career. One parent physician took throat cultures in the classroom so that the elementary school students could look at them under a microscope, while another gave his young son a physical examination in front of the class, explaining the procedure and its purposes.

Another father showed how light bulbs are manufactured. Parent musicians have played at assemblies and another parent solved a security problem for the com­ puter room. PAMKA (the Parent Association of MKA) awards a continuing educa­ tion grant annually to a faculty member. The organization also provides equip­ ment for classrooms and playgrounds, as well as the “extras” which make MKA’s programs outstanding. PAMKA volunteers, manifesting their particular Interest in the libraries, hold book fairs to raise money for the purchase of books, help stu­ dents with research, read to our youngest children, catalog books and perform a myriad of tasks to keep the libraries operating smoothly. The Alumni Association sponsors a “Career Day” in which students can meet and discuss opportunities with alumni who have pursued a variety of careers and professions.

Classroom, library, playing fields, communications, policy, fund raising—the breadth of what volunteers do for MKA is truly amazing. The commitment, interest and leadership of our parents, alumni and friends creates a special bond between home, school and community. MKA’s volunteers are an extraordinary group of adults dedicated to helping MKA provide the best possible atmosphere for its students.

The Board of Trustees meets monthly throughout the school year as well as giving untold hours in committee time to oversee all aspects of the school, setting both long-range and current policies.

Sports Parent volunteers are generous In their support of the sports program.

They supply refreshments during games, cheer from the bleachers,sponsor foot­ ball dinners and offer innumerable rides to and from games. At the Primary School, parents organize an after school sports program for Interested students.

In the fall, the Alumni Council helps plan Homecoming, making that day of athletic games and renewed friendship a particularly happy one.

Community Relations PAMKA hosts “Back-To-School-NIghts" for all parents and an orientation for new ones. Hospitality committees provide refreshments for these events as they do for graduations, college guidance evenings and other school functions. A monthly PAMKA Newsletter reports the events of all three campuses, and their well-organized telephone tree notifies parents of snow days or changes In plans.

Over eighty alumni serve as class secretaries gathering news from classmatesto be published in this magazine. The Alumni Council meets several times a year to discuss ways to boost Academy programs and keep our graduates up to date on activities.

Our “town-gown" relations are enhanced by volunteer efforts which establish MKA as a community resource. A parent volunteer runs the blood bank and organizes CPR classes. The Board helps to Insure that the school’s facilities are available for use by local groups, and alumni and parents volunteer their homes for small gatherings of prospective MKA families.

Management No one could possibly describe the time, care and expertise donated by the Trustees for the management of the Academy. They oversee the investment of its endowment, see that the budget is balanced, that the facilities are properly maintained, and that the school's policies are In line with MKA's goal of excellence. Concurrently, the Board does the all-important long range planning to assure that the Academy will move wisely towards the future.

Volunteers are the backbone of MKA’s fund raising efforts Hundreds help by phoning or visiting parents, alumni and friends to ask their support of the annual and capital campaigns. Others work on PAMKA projects, such as book fairs, opportunity sales and fashion luncheons, the proceeds of which are donated for specific MKA needs. This past year a dedicated team of parents ran the highly successful “ Bid For Knowledge” auction. These proceeds funded the renovation of the libraries on all three campuses.

Know/edge

At PAMKA’s May benefit, “Bid for Knowledge” guests check auction items before the bidding begins.

Jack Windolf, MKA TOMORROW campaign chairman, and his wife Muriel, who, with Susan Sorger, co-chaired this benefit. With their committee, they lined up auction items, organized dinner parties preceeding the auction and put out a hilarious catalogue of the varied items to be bid on.

Aubin and Lincoln Ames during the auction which was held in the dining room of the Kimberley campus Marilyn and Dick Hatzenbuhler kept the records of winning bids throughout the evening.

Notes from Around MKA Upper School Welcomes New Headmaster This month the faculty and students of the Upper School welcome Philip H. Allen as th e ir new headm aster. A co-founder and co-director of the Forum S chool in Rome, Italy, Mr. Allen brings many years of experience as a te a ch e r, c o u n s e lo r and administrator to MKA. O r ig in a lly fro m N ew England he atten d e d Mt. Herman Academy. After a year of post-graduate study in England under an English Speaking Union Scholarship, he went on to obtain a B.A.

from W esleyan U niversity and a master’s degree In history from the University of Chicago.

His p ro fe s s io n a l b a c k ­ ground has given him an o p p o rtu n ity to a s s im ila te the best aspects of large and small schools. He taught h isto ry fo r sixte e n years, served as a college guid­ ance counselor for thirteen and as director of admis­ sions fo r th re e .‘ For tw o years he held the assistant headmastershlp of Rome’s

S tir S tephen's S chool, a college preparatory school comparable to MKA. Then In 1971, he and two other teachers founded the Forum S chool, a sm all E nglishsp e a king sch o o l w ith 28 A m e rica n students. Mr. Allen's ten years heading the Forum S chool have given him broad administra­ tive experience.

Introduced to the Upper School at an assembly last spring, Mr. Allen told faculty and students that he was very Impressed with MKA's academic standing and as h e a d m a s te rB n te n d s to m a in ta in ith ls sta tu s. He also hopes to Involve s}udents in more field trips, e xch a n g e p rogram s and community affairs, and work towards enhancing faculty and student relationships.

In discussing the role of the Inde p e n d e n t school, P hilip A lle n has w ritte n : “ Because of their ongoing Integrity and the Instabilities of other institutions In our society, many independent schools are In the position of having tremendous Influ­ ence on their students. I b e lie ve th a t our s c h o o ls must accept this role with positive, Innovative leader­ ship in teaching and in long range educational planning.

Even though every school Is different and must define and remain consistent to Its p rin c ip le s , the a c a d e m ic and moral development of each student must be its major focus. The effective­ ness and personal qualities of Individual teachers are the key to a good school.

With an eye on a school’s tradition as well as on the future, a school head has the re s p o n s ib ility of c o ­ o rd in a tin g the te a c h e rs ’ efforts, setting a personal sta n d a rd and w o rking as c lo s e ly as p o ssib le with stu d e n ts and the school community at large."

T h e new h e a d m a ste r appointment came after an e x te n s iv e se a rch ca rrie d o u t b y th e B o a rd o f Trustees, faculty and student representatives. Forty-five candidates were screened and nine were brought to campus for Interviews.

Gail Kerr, MKA Trustee and S e a rch C o m m itte e member spoke for the com ­ mittee when she said, “We all had a strong feeling that Phil Allen belonged at MKA. In so many ways his qualifi­ cations and warm and friend­ ly manner dovetailed with what we were looking for.”

Student reaction to the headm aster a p p o intm ent was positive and enthusi­ a s tic . Said J u n io r Jay Greene, also on the Search Committee, “ MMAIIen Is a fine choice because of his o u tg o in g n a ture and his understanding of and com ­ munication with students.”

Mr. Allen and his wife, Judy, moved to Montclair in August. Their two children, Meg, age 12, and David, age 10, are enrolled In the Middle School.

P arents w ill m eet Mr. A lle n at B a c k -T o -S ch o o l N ight, S eptem ber 24th.

Alumni will have their first opportunity to meet him at Homecoming, October 17th.

HABERDASHERS AND MKA EXCHANGE VISITS Once again the bridge across the waters was span­ ned as students from MKA and Haberdashers’ Aske’s School in England exchang­ ed visits.

MKA fa m ilie s opened th e ir hom es in A p ril to twenty-three HAS students and their chaperons. During their three week stay, the English students attended Upper School classes, stud­ ied American drama and jazz, and learned first hand

about life In the U.S. Their busy schedule took them to historical and cultural cen­ ters, Including a long week­ end excursion to Philadel­ phia and Washington, D.C. Closer to home, day trips Included Princeton Univer­ sity, West Point, Bear Moun­ ta in S ta te Park, G reat Adventure and several New York City experiences such as a Broadway show and dinner in Chinatown.

"The students were just

marvelous!" said Mrs. Mar­ shall Hendrian, MKA parent and coordinator of the ex­ change. "They were parti­ c u la rly fa s c in a te d by the Smithsonian Air Space Mu­ seum , th e W a s h in g to n monuments by night and the size of the Princeton field house.”

Back on the Upper School cam pus, HAS ch a lle n g e d MKA to w a te r polo and soccer matches.

MKA’s turn to repay the visit came in June. Karen

Boyle, Tom Hochman, Sue Mahler, Diana Nolle, Dan Carson, Marshall Hendrian and lleana Lopez-Balboa, accompanied

by Math T e a c h e r Judy Nesblt, fle w to England where they stayed with HAS fa m ilie s in Elstree, ju s t outside London.

To broaden their study of

English culture they attended a cricket match and toured S tratford-upon-A von, W o­ burn Abbey, Brighton, Wim­ bledon, G re e n w ich , Bath, S tonehenge and London.

Not on the typical tourist itinerary were a hovercraft trip to Calais, France and th re e days of m ountain climbing in Wales.

Of his first impressions of England, sophomore Mar­ shall Hendrian remarked, “ I was very impressed by London — especially the m useum s and c h u rc h e s and the Air Space Museum."

T h is fa ll the program , which is in its fifth year, is being expanded to include a faculty exchange. Calvin Matzke, ch a irm a n of the Fine Arts Department, is at HAS and in e x c h a n g e Wayne and Jenny Warren are s p e n d in g th e year teaching at MKA.

travelled to the far reaches of the world last summer on the Americans Abroad pro­ gram of the American Field Service.

Liz journeyed across the Pacific to spend ten weeks in Japan, Jim headed north to Finland and Peter's wish came true when he was placed in Germany.

While abroad the students lived with local host families and toured with other student groups.

Meanwhile, back in Mont­ clair, Agnes Fenart, AFS student from Lille, France, bid goodbye to faculty and friends after her year's stay with the family of Arthur and Vida Welsh. While enrolled at MKA Agnes studied Eng­ lish, economics, American history, Russian and calcu­ lus, and participated in the school sports program. She scored the first goal of the g irls ’ s o c c e r season and played on the v o lle y b a ll team which won the state championship. In May, her

series of co ntem porary paintings of the New York skyline took first prize in the Senior Art Show.

During her stay, Agnes a lso m anaged to see a great deal of the U.S. She accompanied MKA’s eighth graders to Williamsburg and the junior class to Washing­ ton, D.C. She also vacationed in Maine with the Welsh’s, visited Janet Welsh 7 9 at G rin n e ll C o lle ge in Iowa, and went to Colorado and California as a guest/baby sitter with the Lorentzen’s, another MKA family.

Of her year in the U.S., Agnes commented, “ I was happy to be here because I liked my host family. I was lucky to travel so much, but my first purpose was school.”

Agnes graduated with the senior class in June, and returned to Lille to attend college where she plans to study business and account­ ing.

The AFS program at the Academy, organized under the aegis of PAMKA, is in its sixteenth year.

MKA RUNNER UP IN ACADEMICALLY SPEAKING M iddle S chool students

Phil Rosenblum, John Simon, Dana Sullivan, David Tessler and Sean Timmons represented the school during ("Academ i­ cally Speaking,” an Inters c h o la s tic c o m p e titio n sponsored last spring by the Montclair Public Schools.

Over twenty local schools participated In the match which tested team members’ know ledge th ro u g h five rounds of q u e s tio n s on topics ranging from the arts, math, science and lang­

uages to sports, current events and trivia.

In the first match of the Middle School Division, the MKA team beat Bloomfield’s North Junior High team with a score of 370-360. During the semi-finals, MKA came from behind gaining 150 points in the fifth round and em erged as v ic to r over Glenfield School (520-420).

The team lost the champion­ ship, however, when Mt. Hebron edged them out by just 50 points in the finals, with a score of 650-600.

FACULTY DEVELOPMENT GRANTS TOP $22,000 Thirty-one faculty members received over $22,000 in gra n ts to pursue p ro fe s ­ sional development activi­ tie s th is past year. The funds w ere aw arded as part of an ongoing faculty development program which encourages staff members to broaden their educational background.

Over the summer, thirteen staff members studied at the Taft Center for Educa­ tio n w here th e y learned how to use computers as an instructional tool. Twelve teachers participated in a reading workshop on pro­ gram development for K-6 students. One faculty mem­

BALLOON ENTHRALLS BROOKSIDERS

HOMECOMING HOMECOMING HOMECOMING Saturday October 17, 1981

Unusual excitement came to Brookside last May, when Mr. Dennis Fleck, head of Malcolm Forbes Balloon As­ cension Division, brought the Forbes balloon to campus.

Teachers and students as­ sem bled on the fie ld to watch as Mr. Fleck demon­ strated how the balloon principle works.

"Will it pop?" asked one first grader, as the balloon swelled with hot air and pro­ pane gas. Although space limitations would not permit ascension, each class had an opportunity to examine the gondola. Mr. Fleck also show ed a film M alcolm Forbes made while setting a record for a transcontin­ ental balloon flight.

Alumni, students and fac­ ulty on hand for this year’s H o m e co m in g (O c t. 17) may have an opportunity to try ballooning themselves.

The Class of 1982 will offer chances to ascend In the balloon.

DON’T FORGET REUNION MKA welcomes home Its reunion classes on Home­ coming Day, October 17.

The Classes of 1931 and 1956, celebrating their 50th and 25th reunions, will be honored at an MKA lunch­ eon. Alumni from all classes are invited to the cocktail party from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the K im b e rley Cam pus.

Reunion class pictures will be taken there.

SURVIVAL IS THE KEY Seventh graders are learn­ ing how to be more selfreliant and considerate of others through “ Survival,” an interdepartm ental p ro ­ gram.

“Survival” focuses on ac­ tivities which call for both student cooperation In group problem solving and indivi­ dual leadership. During ad­ visor periods, students prac­ tice survival tactics and tackle strategic problems such as how to ford a river by rope or scale a ten foot wall.

18

On the academic side, they learn to use maps and compasses In social studies class, read survival related lite ra tu re In E nglish, and p ra c tic e co m m u n ica tio n skills when conversing in French or Spanish.

As an integral part of the program, the seventh gra­ d ers and th e ir ad viso rs travel to Princeton University Education Center at Blairstown for a rigorous course of rapelllng, o rie n te e rin g , ropes use and problem solving games.

“ Survival” culminates in an overnight camping trip and “bushwacking” through ten miles of the northern New Jersey woods.

S c ie n c e te a c h e r Bill Lamson, who coordinates the program, spoke enthusi­ astically about last year's participants, “ Having em ­ barked on the survival pro­ gram with excitement, ques­ tions and som e anxiety, these students em erged from the woods with a keen­ er ability to work with their hands, greater self-reliance, a grasp of the need for consid­ eration for each other, and an understanding of the nec­ essity of working together.”

Anne LaBastille’s love of the wilderness has prompted her to seek a challenging career which has brought her world-wide recognition as a conservationist. In pursuing her interest in preservation, Anne has written three books and numerous articles published in periodicals such as "National Geographic,” "Audubon,” “ International Wildlife" and "Readers' Digest." She has also appeared on talk shows and television documentaries, as well as acted as an international ecological consultant. In 1974 she was awarded the Gold Medal of the World Wildlife Fund as Conservationist of the Year. Currently, she serves as one of eleven international jurors for the J. Paul G etty W ildlife Conservation Award, ($50,000).

Her most recent book, Women and Wilderness (Sierra Club Books), profiles

the lives of fifteen contemporary women who have sought wilderness careers and blended traditional female roles with rural lifesyles. It also discusses early frontier women and their reactions to the wilderness.

Woodswoman and Assignment: Wildlife (both E.P. Dutton Co., NY) are autobio­ graphical accounts of Anne’s own wilder­ ness and professional experiences.

Woodswoman tells of her determination to live the life of a North Woods frontier woman. On building and living in a cabin by herself on the edge of the Adirondack wilderness, Anne writes: “The cabin is the wellspring, the source, the hub of my existence. It gives me tranquility, a closeness to nature and wildlife, good health and fitness, a sense of security, the opportunity for resourcefulness, reflection, and creative thinking.”

In Assignment: Wildlife Anne recounts her "e co lo g ica l adventures” as she traveled around the world on assignments as a conservationist and ecologist. In Guatemala she worked to save an endan­ gered species of flightless birds from the effects of encroaching civilization; in the Amazon Basin and the Caribbean she acted as an advisor on preservation and the creation of national wildlife preserves and parks.

Her work on behalf of the world's forests, its threatened w ildlife and man's own ecological future has been described as "Magnificent," by "Virginia Wildlife Maga­ zine” “ .. .likely to turn you green with envy, send you into uncontrollable fits of day­ dreaming, or cause you to consider kicking yourself for not having done what she has.”

ALUMNI PROFILE: PHILIP L. FRADKIN ’53

Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Phil Fradkln is a deeply concerned environmentalist and author. His second book, A River No More (Knopf Publishing Co. 1981), examines the Colorado River and its political role as the West's most valuable resource.

Phil's- interest ® political water issues began while working as the farm editor and general assignment reporter for the “Turlock Jou rna l” in C alifornia in 1961. In the ensuing years his writing career has dealt with subjects as diverse as inter-city racial rioting and the Vietnam War to his feelings as a divorced father who came to know his son again during a s u m m e p o n g trip through the Alaskan wilds.

In 1965, Phil was working for the "Los

Angeles Times” when the Watts riot broke out. Coverage of those six days and nights of "complete anarchy" earned him and the rest of the "T ffles” metropolitan staff a Pulitzer Prize. After the Tet Offensive in 1968, Phil went to Vietnam to cover the war because he felt the assignment “would give me a chance to use all my skills.” He stayed on as the “Times" only permanent war correspondent until the first troop withdrawal In 1969.

Upon returning to the States he became the paper’s full-time environmental writer.

Several of his articles were nominated for the Pulitzer Prize in 1971. A few years later he received a media award from the Sierra Club and published California: the Golden Coast (Viking, 1974).

Phil was made Assistant Secretary of the C alifornia Resources Agency in 1975.

During hi's time in office he saw the enactment of the state’s coastal laws, an issue on which he placed particular priority. Then In 1976 he accepted the position of Western Editor of "Audubon.”

He has recently retired from “Audubon" to teach part-time at Stanford University, do some free lance writing and continue “ promoting the wise use of land and its resources.”

Phil’s father built the home at 36 Lloyd Road, now the Principal's residence. Phi( wrote that he lived the, first seventeen years of his life in the house and that he hopes “ Dr. O’Connor finds it as easy to fall out of bed and into school as I did!"
