Report from the Principal When we open The Alumni News many of us turn first to the Class Notes. The variety is fascinating; it often starts us musing, “I wonder what happened to the girl who was such a wiz in mathematics . . . the student who accidentally caused an explosion in the chem lab . . . the class clown . . . the habitual latecomer . . . the popular hero or athlete . . . the bumbler who never seemed to know what was going on.” The fun of Class Notes is that they highlight the variety in our friends and classmates, and give us a glimpse of a number of other people’s life experiences. In this issue we highlight a musician, a fisherman, an author, a businessman, an ambassadress and a volunteer: all alumni of the Academy. Adult life, or “real life”, as the students are wont to call it, provides many avenues for people with different needs and talents. Over the past quarter century many different life-styles and values have become acceptable. This increased flexibility for adults, however, has not carried over to our children. Whether they are introverted or extroverted, mature early or late, are scholars or adventurers, they are required to report to a schoolhouse each morning and to adjust to the routines of classes, bells and homework. Students evidence as many individual differences as adults. From the earliest years, the “natural scholar” is recognizable: the highly organized child who likes structure, and follows directions willingly and with pleasure. Teachers and parents alike rejoice in the progress of this young scholar — predicting a sunny future as a computer programmer, researcher or college professor. But in the same classroom is the child of “unrealized potential”: spontaneous, disorganized, outgoing and imaginative. This student often has flashes of insight unmatched by the scholar but just as frequently forgets to bring a book to class or to do the assigned work. Every report card goes home saying, “great potential, but not working up to his ability.” We at MKA believe that the problem is not with the student alone, but is a reflection of the fact that the structure of schools is not naturally compatible with this personality type. Here at MKA, teachers and parents alike take tremendous care to encourage this child, reinforce his strengths, and keep his self-confidence growing. The adult world will provide avenues for this child: the spontaneity and love of ambiguity which can make school days difficult may be just the qualities that produce a successful and imaginative businessman, an explorer of outer space or a leader of men. Students evidence not only differences in working patterns and interests, but also in thinking patterns and types of minds. One child approaches new information in a logical and sequential manner, building from the known to the unknown and from a set of skills to more advanced skills. Another understands the pieces only when presented in context. The child with the logical mind may become an excellent manager, architect or physician. The global thinker is more apt to become a musician, a writer or a research scientist. Schools exist to give youngsters a short-cut to experience, albeit vicarious. The curriculum passes on to them thp wisdom, skills and knowledge that have been developed over generations. Schools also provide an atmosphere where youngsters come to terms with themselves, their strengths and weaknesses. They develop interpersonal skills as well as knowledge, and the combination of skills and information, self-esteem and ability to relate to others becomes our definition of the “educated person”. At MKA we try to recognize the tremendous variety in our

students, and even though they must conform to the structures of school life, we provide many avenues for their growth. Athletes, musicians, scholars, politicians and socialites each make important contributions. MKA’s academic curriculum is a strong liberal arts one, culminating in a broad and challenging college preparatory program. But this program alone would be insufficient if not augmented by our very full after school program which includes athletics, computer, fine and performing arts, literary efforts, and sufficient time for friendships and lasting relationships to be built. MKA aims to graduate students who are proud of their individuality, eager to establish a life-style that will be productive and happy for them, and appreciative of the different talents and needs of their friends. The measure of our success is illustrated in the news of MKA’s alumni: interesting men and women who are represented in all walks of life, all professions and a multiple of life-styles. We are proud of our alumni, and confident that today’s students will join their ranks evidencing the same fascinating variety and individuality as their predecessors.

Success in the Real World M KA salutes the success o f six of its alumni In the follow ing profiles. These alum ni both represent several decades of classes, and also illustrate some of the creative ways in which MKA alum ni use their diverse talents and abilities. Eighteen Thousand Pounds of Pollock “The Patricia Ann is not sinking, she’s just full of fish!” wrote Peter Schroeder ’66 when he sent in this photo of his commercial fishing boat. The Patricia Ann is, in fact, weighted down by eighteen thousand pounds of pollock, stored below deck and in the port and starboard checkers -3 an abundant two-day haul off the coast of Maine. Peter began fishing about four years ago. “After becoming somewhat disillusioned with scientific endeavors, I found myself working on an offshore lobster boat,” he explained. From there he moved on to a long-liner, a vessel which uses lines rather than nets. Two and a half years ago he became captain of his own vessel, which he christened Patricia Ann after his wife of ten years. The Patricia Ann works out of Boothbay Harbor, ME. Using two to three miles of gillnets, Peter says he fishes “anywhere between forty to eighty miles offshore.” His profession can at times be frustrating when there are no fish, and even terrifying when a squall kicks up a sixty mile per hour wind and twenty-five to thirty foot seas. But he insists that “in spite of the hard work and financial unpredictability, I can’t imagine doing anything else. The sense of independence, the comradship with the other fishermen, and the generally good feeling one gets when working outdoors all combine to make commercial fishing a highly rewarding lifestyle.” Peter and his wife, Patricia Ann, have three children and live in North Edgecomb, ME.

Freight Trains and the Business Mind The “ruthless robber baron” stereotype of the railroad industry’s pioneers comes undone in Perkins/Budd: Railway Statesmen of the Burlington (Greenwood Press, 1982), Richard Overton’s ’25 new biography of the two men of integrity who headed the midwest’s Burlington Railroad. His work gives an unprecedented look at the golden age of railroad expansionism, as well as revealing new data on the industry’s adoption of diesel power, and its response to the Depression, to truck and bus competition, and to the defense requirements of World War II. Richard has pursued a keen interest in history and trains throughout his career, becoming one of the leading scholars on American railroad history. Currently an editorial consultant for the Canadian National Railroad, he has taught history and economics at Williams and Amherst Colleges and Northwestern University. He was also director of the National Records Management Council in New York, and from 1974-78 was Director of the Central Vermont Railway. Ever since 1941 when the Harvard University Press released his Ph.D. thesis, Burlington West, he has been published widely. His most recent work is preceded by two earlier books on the Burlington Railroad, Gulf to Rockies and Burlington Route. Additional published works include more than forty-five articles, booklets, pamphlets and chapters, and fifty reviews which have appeared in various journals.

Richard used primary resources extensively in his research. For Perkins/Budd’s he poured through innumerable memoranda written by Charles Elliot Perkins, the Burlington’s president in the late 1800’s, and pages of transcripts of Ralph Budd’s speeches made during his tenure as the railroad’s president in the 1930’s and 1940’s. One reviewer commented, “Perkins/Budd is more than a revealing look at the corporate structure and workings of the railroad industry. It is a unique investigation of the business mind at work. It belongs in every collection of titles on American transportation, business, and economic history.”

Volunteering to Raise Horse Cents “It all started at Kimberley,” says Helen Jones Gordon ’42, explaining how she came to be named Coordinator of Benefits for the United States Equestrian Team (USET). “I had always ridden. Kimberley had a riding club,” she remembers, “and we rode saddle horses at the Dubois Brothers Stable. We put on a good horse show every year, and lots of us rode in my years at the school.” Her love of horses came naturally to Helen since her father played polo and her mother fox hunted. She remembers “my mother drove me to Mount Vernon, NY at 5 a.m. when I was in junior high, so I could ride with the Spring Valley Hunt for an hour and a half and be back at school in time for morning assembly!” Helen’s entrance into fund raising was less inevitable. “I always used to say ‘Don’t ever ask me to raise money,’ ” chuckles USETs big money raiser. “But during the 1950’s, when I was a trustee at Kimberley and President of the Alumni Association, became involved in some of the school’s benefits — dinner dances, art shows and auctions — and I found it was fun, and went on to work for Berkshire School and Bennett Junior College.” During these years, Helen was fox hunting in Virginia, in Millbrook NY, and in Ireland, and came to know many of the people who were most instrumental in the USETs efforts. The team’s president, William C. Steinkraus, invited her to become assistant treasurer/secretary. Before long she was running a major benefit for the team, taking over Bloomingdale’s in the Short Hills Mall for an evening of dinner, dancing and a fashion show by Ralph Lauren. Says Helen, “Lauren has a polo player on his shirts so I guess Bloomingdale’s thought he was horsey — but he put on a marvelous show. From the moment the first models came down the runway in black tennis outfits, everyone’s attention was riveted.”' ■ Last April Helen organized a benefit at the New Haven Tele-Track where one hundred and fifty guests enjoyed a champagne breakfast while watching the famous Grand National Steeplechase on an enormous movie screen. When asked to give a formal dinner dance closer to home, Helen refused saying, “No one wants to go to that, but I will run terrier races for you.” Now, the hit of the New Jersey hunt country are the Sunday mornings in the fall when terriers, both local pets and racing dogs from far away, compete in noisy and hilarious races for the benefit of the USET. With that sense of fun, and of what will work, it can be no surprise that Helen was tapped this spring to coordinate all benefits for the team across the country. The USET newsletter announcing her appointment read, “In her new post Mrs. Gordon will advise local USET leaders and enthusiasts on the types of events that can be staged, as well as offering suggestions as to how best to implement them.” Says Helen with a laugh, “I spend all my time on the telephone now talking to fascinating people all over the country. It’s great fun!”

Boogie at Midnight “One of the craziest keyboard players since Jerry Lee Lewis, and one of the best in the business,” is how Daniel H. Beime 74 is described by the manager of the Skip Castro Band, which Danny and some friends formed in 1978. The four man band, which specializes in rock’n’roll and old rhythm and blues, travels extensively on a hectic schedule playing bars and clubs across the country. The Baltimore Sun wrote, “Barroom bands playing old rock’n’roll are as common these days as three-chord blues tunes about feeling bad over losing a lover, but 5

there’s something uncommon about Skip Castro. The essence of Skip Castro comes less from the songs it performs than how the band performs them, with crack musicianship, tight harmonies and lots of stage presence . . . Beirne with his huge red afro pounds his piano with energy and comical faces reminiscent of Harpo Marx.” Danny is lead singer and keyboard player, and also co-writes many of the band’s original songs. According to him, Skip Castro performs some forty songs a night, four to five nights a week, “preferably in the South in the winter and the North in the summer.” The band has worked with many well-established groups and single artists, opening concerts for Muddy Waters, Chuck Berry, Taj Mahal, the Dixie Dregs and many others. The road to success for Danny was not always easy. He says, “I come from a very musical family and knew above all that I wanted to be a professional musician and was determined to make it.” Five days after graduation from Montclair Academy he headed for Charlottesville, VA, where brother Marty was playing in a band that needed a bass player. Danny tried out, demonstrating his versatility on the trumpet, oboe, bass, keyboard and organ. He landed the job and over the next two years played bass with the Rose Valley Special in the evenings, while working as a dishwasher during the day. Then in January, 1978, he joined with three other talented musicians to form Skip Castro. The group now has two records on the charts — “Boogie at Midnight” and “You’re Killing Me.” Danny attributes the band’s success to the fact that “we’re not ego-oriented. We have the same attitude — we want to play good music which we like. We like our crowd to go crazy so we’re very visual and jump around a lot.” Says the Unicorn Times, “If you were raised on rock’n’roll, they’ll touch you where you live!” Danny and his wife, Marnie, whom he met through Academy classmate Ben Thompson, live in Charlottesville and are expecting their first child this month . . . the next generation of the musical Beirnes.

The Life and Tim es of . . . Donald Wilson ’43 always intended to be a lawyer, but following wartime service as a B17 navigator, he went to Yale and began writing columns on campus personalities for the Yale Daily News. His work caught the eye of the editors of Time, Inc., and following graduation he accepted a reporter’s job for Life Magazine. The following year, he was named Life Bureau Chief in Detroit, and two years later was posted to the Far East. Travelling throughout the Far and Near East, he covered both the Korean War and the French war in Vietnam, and was in Hanoi the day the Communists took over. By 1956, he was back in the U.S. working as Life Bureau Chief in Washington, D.C. He travelled extensively with President Eisenhower and accompanied Vice President Nixon on his famous South American trip. His many articles in the 1950’s about John F. Kennedy as an up-and-coming contender for the presidency resulted, in 1960, in an invitation from Kennedy to be Assistant Press Secretary for his campaign, working with Pierre Salinger. Following President Kennedy’s election, he appointed Donald Deputy Director of the United States Information Agency, the USIA (now the International Communications Agency). Says Donald, “Having written about government for so many years, ! suddenly found myself in it, and I liked it.” The USIA Director was Edward R. Murrow, and Donald remembers working with him as “the greatest experience of my life.” Murrow’s ensuing illness placed Donald in charge of the eleven thousand member agency, and also on the National Security Council during the October, 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. In 1965, Donald returned to Time, Inc., this time as General Manager of the International Divisions. In 1968, he spent two months travelling with his good friend, Bobby Kennedy, throughout Indiana, Oregon and California during his presidential campaign. Donald was twenty yards behind Kennedy when the fatal shot was fired. In 1969, Donald accepted the appointment as Time’s Vice President for Public Affairs, a post which combines his varied experiences as newsman, government servant and administrator. His responsibilities today include handling the corporation’s public and press relations. “We have nine major magazines so we’re being covered by

the media all the time." He spends a great deal of time in Washington lobbying for Time’s corporate interests which range from legislation on postal rates and cable TV to environmental and First Amendment issues. He also established and administers Time’s corporate contributions to education, urban projects and the arts. “Time, Inc. makes annual gifts totalling three million dollars,” says Donald. “Until I took this job, I never appreciated the difficulty in giving money away thoughtfully and intelligently.” Of this remarkably broad and complex job, Donald simply comments, “It’s fascinating — you never know from day to day what will pop up.”

From Russia With Love In a compilation of her letters, “From Russia With Love,” which appeared recently in The Nutmegger of Greenwich,* Olive Cawley Watson ’36 details her experiences in the USSR during her husband, Thomas J. Watson, Jr.’s eighteen month tour of duty as U.S. Ambassador. Of their arrival in Moscow in October 1979, she wrote, “As our plane pulled up to a side entrance of the airport, it was immediately surrounded by military police. We walked up a flight of stairs to a brightly lit special room where different heads of the American Embassy, the German and French Ambassadors, and Soviet Government representatives were there to greet us . . . at this point I felt like a movie star . . . pictures flashing, people with microphones . . . movie cameras grinding.” She tells of the smooth running of Spaso House, the Ambassador’s residence — “a grand palace” — which provided an elegant setting for the Watson’s constant entertaining ranging from small dinner parties to gala balls for three hundred guests. Of a ball which they co-sponsored for all NATO countries represented in Moscow, she wrote, “Everyone looked so well dressed in their best — the military in dress uniforms, the Indians, Africans, et al., in native costumes . . . I ended the evening dancing with a ‘giant’ Indian whose head was wrapped in red and gold. He wore a black coat with gold buttons, tight red pants with black stripes and spurs!” The routine of daily life was often frustrating. “Not knowing the language is extremely awkward,” Olive wrote, explaining that one day they ordered pancakes for breakfast and got pound cake. And, her Christmas order for mince meat pie turned out to be a “highly flavored” first course meat dish. To stay in shape, Olive took ballet lessons, Russian folk dancing and gym classes. “All I can say is that exercise in the USA is in its infancy,” she commented. “We hang from the ceiling, we run, we jump, we skip . . . we have hula hoops, we have to do sit-ups — thousands of them! If we won’t go fast enough, the teacher comes from behind and says, ‘faster, faster, faster.’ ” On many occasions, Olive accompanied her husband on trips outside Moscow, finding that, “The farther we go from Moscow, the warmer and more friendly the people become.”!,Among their travels, the Watsons visited the Soviet Riviera on the Black Sea where “the Soviets can get a first-class room with bath and breakfast for about $7, but a foreigner would pay from $75 on up for the same accommodations.” At “health spa-oriented” Yalta, she found the beach crowded by 7 a.m. “According to Soviet sources,” she says, “sleeping at night on the seashore is extremely beneficial. Patients are taken down to the sea at 11 p.m. where they rest under canvasses and are awakened at 7 a.m. for gymnastics and a swim in the sea.” At Yaturtsk in Siberia, she visited the Perma Frost Institute. ‘To see this large city being constructed on perma frost was an amazing sight. No trees at all, and the earth thaws approximately five feet for only three months of the year. So what they grow must be done during this time.” In summing up her varied experiences in Russia, Olive commented, “It was very exhilarating and exciting, and completely exhausting . . . It was eventful, but it is nice to have the same flag waving over our rapidly growing family once again.”

I Hate A Little Liar by Elias J. Marsh, M.D. ’3 2 Not long ago a very upset mother brought her eight year old daughter to our child guidance clinic with a very common complaint: she was fed up with Sandy’s continuous whining and temper tantrums, and was furious, she told me, that “Sandy steals her sisters’ things and takes money out of my pocketbook. Then she looks me straight in the eye and lies about it. I can’t stand a thief or a liar.” This mother went on and on, almost having a temper tantrum herself as she blasted Sandy for not knowing right from wrong.

W hat Sandy’s mother, in her frazzled state, had totally forgotten o r had never thought about, was that children don’t know right from wrong instinctively. People are not like ants and bees. People have to learn how they are expected to behave, just as they have to learn how to speak correctly, to add and subtract, or to understand the theory of evolution. None of these is instinctual. Parents and teachers who “demand a little respect,” or “just won’t have a child who’s a thief”, or “can’t stand a little liar” need to stop and think about how children do learn respect and honesty — right from wrong. Getting to know right from wrong takes a long time. It means learning and mastering all the complex rules, laws and statutes that govern relations of people with one another and make human society possible. First come the family and community customs, practices and mores — rules so basic that they generally go without saying; rules that children seem simply to absorb untaught. What to eat, when, how much, with your fingers or with a spoon? How do you speak to your parents, your family, friends, or strangers? Do you look straight at an adult you’re talking to, or if you’re Vietnamese, do you bow your head in respect? When must you wear clothes, or when might you play naked? All these rules, together with their exceptions and contradictions, are gradually learned. Sandy’s parents honestly thought that they agreed with society’s standards of right and wrong. They had never thought much about what they were doing, or about the example they were setting for their children. Yet a pattern of cheating permeated Sandy’s whole large family. For example, when Sandy's mother first came to the clinic, she, like everyone else, had to negotiate a fee. When she listed her husband’s salary she omitted the fact which came out later, that moonlighting nearly doubled this amount — most of which was not reported to the I.R.S. (Yet he would never dream of cheating when playing cards with his buddies). Thou shalt not steal, Sandy was told (except your mother may “borrow” small change out of big sister's piggy bank). Thou shalt not bear false witness, or, as Daddy has said over and over again, you must never, ever, tell a lie (except when you answer the telephone and he tells you to tell the caller he’s not at home). As for Sandy, what was she learning? What was she being taught? In this family what was right and what was wrong? The more we got to know them the more it became clear that,

her mother’s protestations to the contrary notwithstanding, Sandy couldn’t help but lie and steal. It was almost as if she had been taught to do so in continuing, subliminal lessons that powerfully contradicted the formal lessons of her teachers in school and Sunday school and the nagging at home. For Sandy, confusion between right and wrong has come early and crudely. Her parents, who should be her best teachers, are failing her. No child needs this, for even under the best circumstances conflicts between right and wrong abound, and all children, adolescents and adults, face repeated difficulties in making moral decisions. At least, while they are very young, children deserve consistently good moral examples. Later, and soon enough, they will find out that some rules require exactly the opposite of others and they will begin to question them, which they need to do to establish their own standards and values. In most families the conflicts are neither as gross nor as obvious as they are in Sandy’s; the basic standards of right and wrong are fairly clear, and both reinforce and are reinforced by school, Sunday school, boy scouts, girl scouts, Vs and all the other official, formal and informal groups and associations that transmit society’s statutes, laws, rules and customs. But still, problems do arise. Long before children reach adolescence they begin to see some of these conflicts very clearly, and to question them. By the time they reach adolescence, the questions look large, and are often extended to conflicts between values of family and school, or even of society at large. Here is a place in education for a study of ethics. Not a formal course set apart from the rest of the school, like going to church on Sunday and forgetting one’s religion the rest of the week, but an exploration of the sources and meanings of values anywhere, in any course, in any activity. In social studies, look at all the liars and thieves in high places; if lying and thievery are so profitable, why shouldn’t everyone just help himself to whatever he can reach? What can history tell us about “just” and “unjust” wars? Free discussion of issues like these can help young men and women develop their own ethical principles on which they may base their moral decisions. Family, school, church, and state, each with its own emphasis and its own point of view, share the common goal of character building, which the lawyer-educator Edmond Cahn has called the “summation and epitome of the whole process” of growth.

Alumni President’s Letter Dear Fellow Alumni,

Denise Farandatos Anastasiou ’62 is the newly elected President of the Alumni Council. She has been active at the school in the Parents Association (PAMKA), the Alumni Council and the school’s fund raising program. In 1981-82, Denise co-chaired the Annual Giving Alumni Phonathon. She has organized and chaired this year's expanded Class Reunion Program. Denise and her husband, Alexander, live in Clifton and have two children, Alexander in MKA’s fifth grade and Nicolette, a 1982 MKA graduate who enters Furman University in Greenville, SC this fall.

It is a great pleasure and privilege to be chosen President of the Alumni Association. We begin this 1982-83 school year with clear direction, a restructured and strengthened Alumni Council and excellent help from Alumni Director, Judy Allen. Our goal is to put the talents of as many MKA alumni as possible behind some important projects for the Academy. At its annual meeting last April, the Council voted to restructure the Council within the existing by-laws, to focus on Homecoming, the Reunion Program, the Internship Program, Annual Giving, the College-Age Holiday Party, and the organization of classes. We hope that non-Council as well as Council members will work on these committees. I particularly want to thank Our outgoing Council members Frederic G. Calder ’42, Joan Denney Carlisle ’46, Richard L. Carrie ’41, George Kramer ’54, Robert H. Muller ’39 and Carol Humphrey White ’52. Together they represent many years of loyal concern and service to the Academy. Homecoming October 2 will be under the direction of Nancy Plummer Nazarian ’68. We hope this will be the biggest and best ever. The Principal’s Luncheon for Reunion Classes, in the past given for the 25th and 50th year classes only, will include this year the 10th, 20th, 30th, and 40th year classes as well. All alumni are invited to attend another innovation: a morning program at the Upper School at which Dr. Frances R. O’Connor will bring us up-to-date on the school today. The football game begins at 2 p.m. with tailgating for all non-reunion alumni, followed by the traditional cocktail party for all alumni at the Middle School, on the Kimberley Campus. Homecoming is a wonderful time to renew friendships and visit school, so please plan to attend if you possibly can. If you live in this area, we invite you to be a caller during Alumni Phonathon. Calling is fun and our annual gifts are essential to the school, so, if you can help, please'call Judy Allen at the Alumni Office 746-9800, ext. 240. We need you! On December 22, the Third Annual Alumni Ice Hockey Game will pit our alumni against Montclair High’s. I urge you to come and cheer on our team and if you’re a college-age grad, come to Dr. O’Connor’s home afterwards for a beer and pizza party. May 3 will bring the Alumni/PAMKA Spring Luncheon and kitchen tour for which we need alumni volunteers to contribute homemade items — food or clothing. You’ll get an invitation later to the party, but save the date and plan to get a group to attend the luncheon. As alumni we can help the educational program of MKA by providing summer internship opportunities for juniors and seniors. The internship program, under the directorship of Betty Wedel, Assistant to the Upper School Headmaster, was piloted this past summer and was very successful. If you can make an internship available or know someone who might, contact Judy Allen. If you haven’t had time to fill out the questionnaire we sent this summer asking for current information, please do it now. We want to be sure you are listed correctly when we put out our first Alumni Directory, scheduled for Spring, 1983. If you didn’t believe me when you started reading this letter, by now I am sure you know that we have a busy, interesting year ahead, but that we need the help of as many of you as possible to make all of these activities successful. Please join in to help this school of which we can be so proud. Sincerely, Denise Farandatos Anastasiou 62 President, MKA Alumni Association

Senior Breakfast The Senior Class Breakfast on May 11 was an innovation this year. Frederick E. Schwartz, a parent and member of the Board of Trustees, welcomed the seniors to the Alumni Association. Jimmy Windolf and Beth Cherashore were elected Class Agents and Nicolette Anastasiou and Angela DeCandia as Class Secretaries.

stab Anyone? You are invited to come along on MKA’s first trip abroad for alumni, parents and friends. Alumni Director Judy Allen, who lived in Italy for twenty years is planning a unique tour of Italy next May which will include visits to well-known as well as seldom visited but fascinating sites. Two talented friends of Judy’s, both Rome residents and experienced tour guides, will show us the wonders of Italy’s past and present. American sculptor Peter Rockwell, son of Norman Rockwell, who is an expert on stone carving and has lectured extensively in this country and abroad will guide us in Rome, and Franca Camiz, an Italian art historian trained at Wellesley College and Harvard University, will be with us in Rome, Pompei, Florence, Venice and sailing on the River Brenta visiting the Palladian Villas. We also plan to enjoy Italy’s fashion, food and wine industries! Two castles are on our itinerary, one in Tuscany where a famous wine is produced, the other just outside Rome, the home and workshop of a world-famous fashion designer. We will investigate the wonderful ‘trattorie’ en route. And, of course, there will be ample time for shopping! The trip will leave from JFK on May 14 arriving in Rome on May 15 and returning to JFK from Milan on May 29, 1983. Since reservations are limited to twenty-four persons for this trip, if you are interested, please contact the Alumni Office as soon as possible. Please send me additional information about the Italy trip. Name __________________________________Address _________________________________ City __________ State____ _________Z ip --------

New Appointments Students and faculty welcome James T. Burger as the new Headmaster of the Middle School. He comes to MKA from Bridgeton, NJ where he has been Headmaster of Woodland Country Day School for the past three years. “We are delighted that Jim Burger has joined our staff,” comments Principal Frances R. O’Connor. “He brings a wealth of curricular and administrative experience and enthusiasm for middle school children. MKA will be stronger for his presence.” Originally from Ohio, Mr. Burger is a graduate of the University School in Shaker Heights. He has a B.A. from Hamilton College and a J.D. from Case Western Reserve School of Law. After completing law school he taught history and civics for a year and a half at the University School, and then joined the faculty at Pine Cobble School in Williamstown, MA where he taught history, math, drama and photography. While at Pine Cobble, Mr. Burger also coached athletics for students in grades six through nine, and co-founded and co-directed the summer school program. In 1978, he was appointed Headmaster of Woodland Country Day, a coeducational independent school of one hundred and sixty students in grades pre-kindergarten through eight. Mr. Burger and his wife Amy moved to Upper Montclair in late June when he took up his new post. They have two children, Catherine, 2, and Parkins, 6, who enters first grade at the Primary School this month. After his first week on the job, Mr. Burger commented, “It’s great to be here! My first few days have confirmed my initial impression last February during my interview that MKA is an incredibly dynamic institution. Energy abounds and with it a very definite sense of purpose. Amy, Park, Catherine and I appreciate the warmth of our welcome and look forward to being a productive part of the community.”

Sondra A. Feig is the new College Placement Officer at the Upper School, succeeding Claire Kleinschmit who has accepted a post at the Latin School of Chicago. An alumna of Smith College, Mrs. Feig has done graduate work in classical studies and languages at Columbia University and New York University. She taught Latin and French for many years at several schools, including St. Margaret’s School for Girls in Waterbury, CT, the Ecole Française du St. Esprit and The Calhoun School, both in New York City. In 1967, while teaching at The Walden School in New York she took on additional responsibilities as a college counselor. She has also been Principal of the Elisabeth Irwin High School of the Little Red School House in New York City, and Director of Admissions of Sarah Lawrence College. Most recently Mrs. Feig has been Director of Guidance at Marymount School in New York City, and has written a book on college admissions soon to be published by Macmillan, Inc. “We are most fortunate to have found a person with Sondra Feig’s extensive teaching and administrative experience who has seen the college placement process from the point of view of both school and college,” commented Upper School Headmaster Philip Allen. “Sondra’s experience, enthusiasm and sensitivity are a welcome addition to the MKA community.”

OBS is going STRONG by Cheryl McCants '82, OBS President 1981-1982

The goal of the Organization of Black Students (OBS) is to enlighten the MKA community on the accomplishments and c o n trib u tio n s o f B lacks to society. During the 1981-82 school year, OBS, an Upper School organization, had a m em bership o f fo rty -th re e students, both black and white. Through bake sales, a dressdown day, a flow er sale, and the Annual Christmas Dinner — the OBS raised $1,230. The membership voted to donate $400 to the U nited N egro College Fund, $100to the MKA TOMORROW! capital cam paign, and to buy books for the Black Studies Department of the Academy library. The organization also helped spon sor an MKA senior who com peted in the Junior Olympic Fencing Competition in Califor nia.

OBS gives an annual scholar ship to the MKA senior or seniors w ho have exemplified outstanding dedication towards making the goals of the organi zation become a reality. This past year (1981-1982) Cheryl M cCants, Peter Edge and Milton Robinson were awarded the scholarships. It was a pleasure to work with my Board this year, made up of Peter Edge, vice-presi dent and Crystal Branch, sec retary-treasurer, and to wel come as the group’s officers fo r 1982-83 Jewell Crenshaw, O ctavia Loyd, and Bruce Benson as president, vice-presi dent and secretary-treasurer, respectively. Lynn Benediktsson, Chairperson of the English Department, is faculty advisor, and Juanita Habron, former MKA faculty member, is the pa re n t advisor. W ith such determined leaders and an even more determined group b e h in d them , th e OBS is assured of prosperity!

FRANCINE DE COTIIS HONORED On a beautiful Sunday after noon in May, alumni, parents a n d fr ie n d s o f F ra n c in e DeCotiis, gathered at the Brookside campus’ new garden to dedicate a plaque in her honor. Mrs. DeCotiis headed the pri mary division of the Kimberley School from 1968 to 1974, and then became the first Primary School Headmistress of the merged school. She retired in 1981 after a year’s leave of absence. In a special ceremony, a group of Mrs. DeCotiis’ former students presented her with

flowers, and “her” fourth graders sang several musical numbers. The celebration was spon sored by MKA’s Parent Associa tion (PAMKA) and chaired by Mrs. Frederick E. Schwartz. The idea of dedicating a garden in Mrs. DeCotiis’ honor came about because she had been active in promoting gardening activities as part of the Brookside curriculum. Under her leadership the “greenhouse committee” was established to develop hands-on activities for studying science.

City at Night

W inning Poem Seventh grader Sigrid Cook tied fo r first place in the Fifth Annual Student Poetry Contest sponsored by the N.J. Institute of Technology. Her poem, “City at Night," was selected from thousands of junior high school entries throughout the state. Sigrid composed the poem during a classroom unit on poetry taught by Middle School English teacher Linda Stark. “City at Night,” was also pub lished in the Middle School’s “Literary Review.”

The city starts her evening dance at dusk, Turning on her neon lights, Keeping time to the subway's beat And the movement of the traffic, With pulsating music coming from the doors of the discos. She dances to hersiren song, Twirling more rapidly Until the disco music dies down, And the beat of the subway groans to a stop. Then the lights begin to dim, And the traffic slowly ceases. Not until then Does she slowly die Into the night’s silence.

The 1982 spring season was indicative of the level of success Academy teams have reached throughout the 1981-82 inter scholastic program. Boys’ lacrosse, led by AllState selections Bill Hall, Peter Schiffenhaus, and Peter Dancy, n o tc h e d its th ird s tra ig h t N.J.I.S.AA. Division 11champion ship, and boys’tennis, powered by sophomore standouts Seth A ntiles, M ark Pineda, and James Goldman, posted a 164 record on its way to an 18th place state ranking in the final N.J.S.I.A.A. poll. W inning records were also earned in girls’ softball and girls’ tennis. Playing in the always tough #1 singles posi tion , Pam Ruddick of the girls’ tennis team closed out a brilliant four-year career as one of the State’s really fine players. The golf, girls’ lacrosse and track, and baseball teams, while failing to reach the .500 mark, scored many important vic tories, but were hampered by a lack o f solid depth and by their inexperience. The highlight of the winter season was the ice hockey team’s capturing MKA's first Gordon Cup championship of the New Jersey Interscholastic Hockey League. In a league dominated by Group IV public schools, MKA proved conclu sively that it could compete successfully, largely due to quality performances by seniors Blake O’Neill, Anthony Del Gaizo, and Robert Kramer. The girls’ fencing team, also competing against a public school schedule, won its third straight N.J.S.I.A.A. champion ship easily outdistancing Indian Hills, P om pton Lakes, and Ramapo H igh School. CoCaptain Mary Hayes, headed fo r Temple U. on a fencing scholarship, was judged the o utstanding fe n ce r fo r the second consecutive season. Girls’ volleyball posted asurprisingly strong 9-4 record in a building year, finishing second intheN.J.I.S.W .A.A. Division I tournament.

Girls’ basketball, led by AllState Maureen Towers, ended its season at 11 -5 with a strictly underclass squad. Boys’ basketball was a much improved squad after several doldrum years. Having flirted with the .500 mark all year, Coach John Rabke’s squad w ill have an e xp e rie n ce d nucleus going after its first winning campaign in several years. Improvement was slow but steady with ourco-educational swimm ing squad. Populated mostly by frosh and sophs, MKA swimmers are expected to approach the .500 mark th is coming season. T h e w in te r and s p rin g seasons of this past year in dicated a subtle change taking place in MKA athletics. Hereto fore, participation has been the primary goal of our pro gram. However, since 1976, when the Kimberley School M ontclair Academ y merger solidified, we have w orked towards a program w hich in corporates both broad-based participation and programs in which the dedicated and gifted athlete can realize his/her full potential!

MKA Upper School mathematics teacher Kenneth Foster works with two Institute students.

M K A ’s S um m er C o m p u te r Institute fo r Teachers drew 101 faculty members herefrom public and independent schools across the country to learn how to use computers in the classroom. Taught by four M KA faculty members, participants pronounced the course, “tough, but magnificently taught Ë a real opportunity.” Computer Department Chairman Charlaine Charlton, and Science Department Chairman Judy Kemlitz both expressed pride and gratitude fo r the success of the program, but admitted that it had been a great deal of work. Not only did the faculty team spend long hours over a six week period of the course in teaching and preparation, they also produced their own

handbooks on LOGO, BASIC and KID STUFF, the three com puter languages in which students learned to program. G ra d u a te c re d it fo r the course is being granted by

Montclair State College which co-sponsored the program. Partial funding fo r the program came from a grant from the Geraldine Rockefeller Dodge Foundation.

Three Extraordinary Gifts Received Three majorg ifts were received this year, each outside the parameters of the annual giving o r capital campaigns. Two came from foundations: The Geraldine Rockefeller Dodge Foundation made a $40,000 grant for software and program ming to assist MKA in establish ing its extensive computer pro gram and the Summer Com puter Institute forTeachers; and The Charles E. Merrill Trust made a $10,000 grant to be used for faculty education. The first endowm ent gift to be m adesincethe completion o f the MKA TOMORROW ! campaign was made in honor of outgoing member of the Board of Trustees, James D. Timmons. Mr. Timmons’ wife, Anita, and their sons, James Jr., Daniel and Sean presented MKA with $10,000 to establish The James D. Timmons Scholar ship to provide an award to “an MKA graduating senior w ho is the son or daughter of an MKA faculty member, has m aintained an outstanding academic record throughout his/ her career at MKA and who has contributed significantly and positively to the school comm unity. The student must exhibit scholarly curiosity, an enthusiasm for learning and a responsible concern for his/her s c h o o l c o m m u n ity .” M rs. Tim m ons dedicated the gift at the final meeting of the Board of Trustees on June 15,1982 saying to her husband, “We felt it w ould please you to receive a gift which could be returned to the school many times over; a gift which would reflect your appreciation and high regard fo r the teaching profession in general and the MKA faculty in particular; your

abiding respect fo r education and your belief that knowledge and wisdom must be shared w ith o th e r s to be tr u ly , worthwhile.” Tw o gifts from students were particularly happily received by MKA in June. The Organi zation of Black Students (OBS), under the leadership of presi dent Cheryl McCants, voted to give $100 to the school’s c a p ita l c a m p a ig n , M K A TOMORROW! OBS raised the funds through various fund raising activities and its Annual Christmas Dinner. Receiving the gift on behalf of the school on Awards Night, Principal O’C onnor expressed thanks for the generosity and commit ment to MKA w hich the gift reflects. Also on Awards Night, the Class of 1982 designated their senior class gift to 1981-1982 Annual Giving. When notified o f th is g ift, F re d e ric k E. Schwartz, MKA trustee and Chairman of the Board’s Developm ent C om m ittee w ho had spoken to the seniors earlier in the year about the purposes of annual giving, expressed the Board’s great pleasure and appreciation for such a gener ous response from the class. On Awards Night, senior John Fernald became the first recipient of the Nazarian Prize for Mathematics, a new gift established in 1982 by Mrs. Winifred Nazarian in memory of her husband, Samuel George Nazarian. The prize is to be used for purchasing books. Mrs. Nazarian is a former faculty member of The Brookside School, and hertw osons are graduates o f M ontclair Academy: Lawrence '56 and Barry ’62.

MONTCLAIR KIMBERLEY ACADEMY RECEIVES ITS FIRST BECUEST MKA is grateful for the bequest of $10,000 made by John deC. Blondel, a longtime benefactor, trustee and friend of Montclair Academy. This is the first such g ift to be received by the school since the merger in 1974 of M ontclair Academy and The Kimberley School. Mr. Blondel, the father of John deC. Blondel, Jr. ’74, Marcia Blondel Hopwood ’66, and Holly Blondel Parent ex ’68, most recently served as a member of the Honorary Committee fo r the MKATOMORROW! campaign. R e m e m b e rin g h is frie n d ,

S. Barksdale Penick ’21 says, “Jack Blondel was a most warm and thoughtful person. He was very supportive of everything in Montclair, including Montclair Kimberley Academy, as this bequest so eloquently attests.” John deC. Blondel, Jr. says of the gift, “M y father always believed that education should be a high priority. He thought that MKA was especially im portant because of the out standing quality and variety of education it offers its students. Consequently, he felt it both a privilege and responsibility to support the Academy.”

For many institutions, be quests are by far the most significant source of endow m e n t fu n d s a s s u rin g th e ongoing strength of the organi zation’s program. W hile this has not yet been the case for MKA, such gifts can make an important difference fo r the school’s future. If, as you make o r review your will, you would like to include Montclair Kimber ley Academy, the following wording is suggested fo r a bequest:

“ I give and bequeath the sum of $____to The Montclair K im berley Academ y Foun dation, 201 Valley Road, Mont clair, New Jersey 07042, to be used fo r its general purposes.” Bequests can also be desig nated fo r specific interests or purposes. Unless specified, bequests become part of the school’s general endowment funds where the income they generate helps to support current school programs.

UPDATE on ELIZABETH JONES ’5 3 George W ashington’s birth. Elizabeth says the coin is not to be circulated, but can be bought from the U.S. Mint. When we wrote about Eliza beth last sp rin g , she had designed, but not yet gotten approval fo r the Presidential Medal. Since then, she says

she had a private meeting in the Oval Office with President Reagan, his D eputy C hief M ichael Deaver, and Mrs. Donna Pope, Director of the U.S. Mint. Says Elizabeth, ‘T he President highly approved the portrait fo r the medal and said that to have a medal in his

likeness was ‘even better than winning an oscar!’ ” Now Elizabeth and her fellow engravers at the Philadelphia Mint.are working on one gold and tw o silver medals fo r the Olympic Games.

In our last issue, we featured a cover story on Elizabeth Jones who made national news when she was appointed Chief Sculptor/Engraver o f the U.S. Mint. Elizabeth continues to make national news, most recently forthe 50<t piece commemora ting the 250th anniversary of Commemorative 504 piece designed by Elizabeth Jones.

Or,.|t may be when a person feels in need of expert advice and guidance on the management of his assets.” Jan Gennet writes, “I have been living in New York City since 1967.

TKS Ms. Avie Claire Kalker 5805 Birchbrook #202 Dallas, TX 75206 I was very impressed with the educational orientation of the school as described in the spring issue of the Alumni News. It is a pleasant surprise to see the Fine Arts curriculum being developed as it is. The computer "world” is also an educational necessity for young minds as the only world they will know soon will be through their home screen software. I am pursuing my eight year career in antiques and fine arts by adding to my roster of activities corporate and individual financial investments in superior tangibles. I combine this activity with classes and seminars in antique furniture and related decorative arts, appraisals and sales. It is a busy Iife even with the stagnant economy. Family life seems to be a large part of the news from our class. There was little mention from those class members at a distance from Montclair. It is easy to lose touch what with family obligations and professional pressures . . . I hope as we approach our fifteenth anniversary of our last contact as a whole group that we are able to unify some contact and level of continuity . . . Peoplechangethroughthe years but we have a common bond from our early or teenage experiences that makes for a pleasant sense of extended family. The Alumni News makes a nice vehicle to stay in touch when physical dis tances or vascillating interests separate us. I hope you w ill all send in news for future issues. As you can see, I have moved. As always, you are welcome to call or visit.

In January my mother and I had a terrific time in St. Moritz for a week. I’d had a cartilege operation on my left knee the previous May and was being so careful not to put strain on it that I tore part of the cartilege on my right knee. So, this May I had an arthroscopy and both knees are as good as new. That’s what I get for being a jock! Last summer I introduced my brother Rob ’74 to one of my zoo co-workers and they are getting married on October 2 in Milwaukee. So, Ricky and I will take our vacation out there.
