school is a beehive of human interaction—of young people growing up, making friends, succeeding and failing— of adults struggling to organize this boundless energy and potential without hampering it—and of inter-generational ex­ changes. Its com plications and opportunities are almost unlimited. Ten years ago, when Montclair Academy and The Kimberley School decided to merge, established traditions and loyalties had to give way to allow the birth of a new entity. It would be impossible to write the full history of those first ten years; im­ possible to mention everyone who helped shape them; impossible to understand all the forces that came together to make The Mont­ clair Kimberley Academy. The following pages give a bird’s-eye view—some of the students, some of the teachers, trustees and parents and some of the events that have punctuated the past one hundred twenty months. It is not an all-inclusive history; it is cer­ tainly not a definitive one. We hope that it can convey some of the excitement, success and story of these years. Those of us cur­ rently studying and working at the Academy owe a large debt of gratitude to our predecessors whose willingness to risk, to dream and to act have given us our school.

ing’s School when it opened on September 16, 1906, in quarters on Plymouth Street, Montclair.

Founded by Mary Kimberley War­ ing, the school was renamed The Kimberley School in 1909.

Both schools incorporated as nonprofit institutions in the 40’s, Kimberley in 1941, Montclair Acad­ emy in 1948. That same year MA closed its boarding department.

BACKGROUND In September of 1887, John G. McVicar, a recent Phi Beta Kappa graduate of the University of Rochester, came to Montclair at the behest of several leading citizens to tutor 10 boys. The group quickly expanded to 16 and first met in a frame house on Clin­ ton Street. Thus started Montclair Academy, a proprietary school for boys.

By 1891, the school had added a boarding department and had be­ come M ontclair M ilitary Acad­ emy. Additional land was ac­ quired and several buildings pur­ chased or constructed. The m ili­ tary department was discontin­ ued in 1918.

Forty-six young women comprised the initial enrollment of Miss War­

purchased by Montclair Academy in 1954. The School is located on Orange Road, Montclair.

Starting in 1958, Montclair Acad­ emy proceeded to purchase four large properties on Lloyd Road.

On September 21, 1963, ground was broken for the new Academy build ings by Howard A. Van Vleck ’22, trustee and 75th An­ niversary Program chairman, and other Academ y o ffic ia ls . The Class of ’65 was the first class to graduate from the new facility.

By the early 70’s, The Kimberley School and Montclair Academy were strong, well established schools with loyal and supportive followings among alumni, parents and friends. They had success­ fully weathered the educational and social traumas of the late 60’s

The Kimberley School purchased the M ontclair A thletic Club in 1949, and after remodeling and renovations, moved to its new campus at 201 Valley Road in 1950. The new fa cility accom­ modated 325 girls in grades K through twelve.

and early 70’s, and had resisted the trendy “ in” movements of that time. During that period, a signifi­ cant number of single sex inde­ pendent schools became coed­ ucational.

As most other independent school boards did at the time, the trus­ tees of Montclair Academy and The Kimberley School considered the possibility of coeducation for their respective institutions, either unilaterally or by merger.

As early as 1968, the schools of­ fered cross registration for certain classes, with TKS and MA stu­ dents coming to each other’s campus for courses and vice versa.

After a well researched and care­ fully considered study of the mat­ ter, including the services of a leading educational consulting firm, the trustees of The Kim­ berley School and Montclair Acad­

emy concluded that a s ig n ifi­ cantly richer and more effective school, one offering its students a far broader range of educational opportunities, could be realized through a merger of the two in­ stitutions.

James M ills, chairman of the Kimberley board, and Peter N. Perretti, Jr., Montclair Academy’s board chairm an , played p iv­ otal roles in leading their boards through the challenging and dif­ ficult period of research and eval­ uations. Their work came to frui­ tion in January 1974, when a combined “ Trustees of the New School” met and elected James S. Vandermade chairman. The Rubicon had been crossed!

In this first decade,MKA students have distinguished themselves in many ways academically. In that period alone, over 150 have been cited for special recognition by the National Merit Schol­ arship Program. MKA stu­ dents have compiled an en­ viable college entrance rec­ ord in those ten years. It has just been announced that nine members of the MKA C lass of ’84 have been named National Merit Final­ ists, an honor bestowed upon less than Vi of 1% of high school students nation­ wide.

Support for MKA has come from several fronts and has been most impressive.

The $3 million MKA TOMOR­ ROW! capital campaign, led by trustee and MKA parent Jack Windolf, exceeded its goal. The Annual Giving Pro­ gram has grown co n sist­ ently under the guidance of a considerable number of alumni, parents and trus­ tees. Co-chairmen of the last four campaigns, including the current one, have been Marilyn and Dick Hatzenbuhler, parents of Kristine ’83. This year’s goal is an all-time high, $325,000!

The Parents Association of Montclair Kimberley Acad­ em y— PAMKA— under the leadership of Presidents, Mrs. William Frederick, Mrs. Richard Hatzenbuhler, Mrs. Richard Blinder, Mrs. Roger Cole, Mrs. James Timmons and Mrs. Frederick Schwartz, has been wonderfully sup­ portive of the Academy and a myriad of its programs.

Space does not allow a de­ tailed accounting of all this group has made possible, but s in c e its founding,; PAMKA has contributed very generously to MKA. Foundation support, local, statewide and national, has been significant. Most note­ worthy was the magnificent $700,000 challenge grant

from the Florence and John Schumann Foundation to% kick off the MKA Tomorrow!* capital campaign.

And now we approach the second decade and the end of the 20th century. The trustees and the ad­ ministration and faculty are well into the planning for those critical years. Last fall, the trustees held a three-day retreat in Princeton to explore and plan the future direc­ 5

he first ten years have passed. Montclair Academy and The Kimberley School provided our foun­ dation. In the next ten years we will build on this foundation to continue to provide an outstanding education for today’s and tomorrow’s students. When those years have passed, we will be on the verge of the twenty-first century. Education must and will change to accommodate the future, and The Montclair Kimberley Academy must accept its place as a leader among independent schools. We an­ ticipate exciting years ahead, years that will challenge us all and do honor to our ninety-seven year history.

pressions of some of the schools which have certain unique fea­ tures. The following are thumbnail sketches of several of these in alphabetical order.

The Bank Street School in New York City is a laboratory and dem­ onstration model for Bank Street College. It bristles with activity, in­ cluding the use of computers with word processing capabilities by 10 and 11-year olds in their home­ rooms.

The Brunson School in Win­ ston-Salem, NC, the only public school that I observed, has regular and gifted programs, many bilin­ gual students and exceptional art work throughout the building.

The Cathedral School of St. John the Divine, in New York City, has an outstanding choir, whose students from 4th to 8th grade carry a full academic load in addi­ tion to participating in many re­ hearsals and performances at the Cathedral. Yearly, the musical di­ rector writes a 7th and 8th grade production based, in part, on the special musical talents exhibited by the students.

The Caltin Gabel School, in a lovely rustic setting in Portland, Oregon, has a well-established computer curriculum and a won­ d e rfu l sp a cio u s w oodshop in which the 6th graders construct a go-cart every year.

The Nueva School in Hillsbor­ ough, California, housed in an old mansion, has a demanding instru­ mental music program. Fifth and sixth graders meet and sing for fif­ teen minutes each morning in ad­ dition to regular music classes.

They have a much-used math lab w hich co n ta in s every kind of manipulative imaginable.

The Waterford School in Provo, Utah, is an experimental school that has been in existence for only three years. Its aim is to create well-written computer programs to determine the optimum amount of time on computer that should be allotted to each grade level in various subjects. Waterford is as­ sociated with a company which is also developing educational pro­ grams for the video-disc.

Some trends, academic and

otherwise, that became apparent as I completed nfiy observations were: All schools stressed writing; however only one school had in­ troduced the writing process that MKA currently uses.

Most schools use paperbacks and a variety of forms of literature for reading instruction, as op­ posed to a highly structural basal reading program.

Emphasis on the arts was evi­ dent in all schools.

Use of the computer was wide­ spread, with instruction starting in kindergarten in several schools.

Many schools scheduled phys­ ical education five times a week.

As I went west, there was more team teaching and there were more classrooms with open spaces which, in some instances could be converted to smaller, closed spaces.

Only six of the seventeen schools had student uniforms.

W ith the exception of four schools, the m in o rity stu d e n t population was very low. This was true of the number of m inority teachers as well.

As far as scheduling is con­ cerned, I found that there were as many methods of scheduling as there were schools visited. They contained many creative ideas, some of which we might find ben­ eficial at our Middle School. I will be sharing these with the faculty.

To have a chance to see a wide range of schools was a rich and rewarding experience. I traveled to places where I had never been before. I met warm and interesting people who have hopes and con­ cerns similar to my own, and who willingly gave up their time to share them with me. I saw students who were productively involved, but who were polite and eager to talk about their school.

I have returned refreshed and grateful for having had the oppor­ tunity to broaden my horizons. I consider myself fortunate to be teaching in a school that, as I learned from my nationwide visits, ranks with the best and which has the foresight and concern to offer its teachers a variety of avenues for growth.

Bill Bullard In 1970, when I was a senior in college, a good friend received a Watson Fellowship, a several thou­ sand dollar grant to travel in Europe for a year. An aficionado of the Ar­ thurian legends, his proposal was to repeat the journeys of Parsifal and search for the Holy Grail. It seemed the perfect project for the age; he could never succeed in pro­ ducing anything, but would learn everything from his failure. So last year, when I was fortunate enough to receive a Klingenstein Fellow­ ship from Columbia University to design an interdisciplinary course in science and literature for Acad­ emy seniors, I thought enviously of my friend’s good fortune. Not only were my travels limited to daily round trips to Port Authority, but I was expected to achieve some­ thing beyond an “ experience.”

Along with the ten other teach­ ers selected for the program, I ar­ rived at Columbia in early Septem­ ber,1982. We were to take classes, travel to a num ber of private schools, meet together weekly to discuss the recent literature in education, and go through the pain­ ful process of transforming our grandiose proposals into workable programs for our schools. We were a diverse lot from schools all over the country. We represented every level of experience, from relative

neophytes like myself,to teachers who had been in schoo ls for twenty-five years or more. While our projects remained the focus of our private lives, the great pleasure of the year was in discovering the kind of friendships formed when a small number of like-minded peo­ ple are thrown together for a year of heady talk. We missed teaching and we missed students, but some­ how we didn’t miss our jobs. We felt intensely privileged to have a year free to reflect and create something of value, and yet vaguely anxious knowing it couldn’t last.

Proust supplied our motto: “ The only paradises are the lost ones.”

My project for the fellowship grew out of a number of experi­ ences I’d had with students who were drawing connections on their own between certain science, history and English electives. When creating a coordinated curriculum among these departments proved unfeasible, I thought we could at least create individual courses treating major topics in an inter­ disciplinary fashion. Selecting Dar­ win’s theory as the most dramatic example of the interplay between science and culture, I spent much of the year up to my vestigial gills in evolutionary biology. The focus of my work involved an independent study with Walter Bock, an eminent and rather hard-nosed professor of biology. Our meetings were the most challenging and amusing of the year, for it quickly became ob­ vious that he had no truck with historians who argued for any social influence on science. Six hours a week we would sit in his laboratory overlooking Manhattan and wrestle with big ideas. He ac­ cused me of perverted Marxist leanings, while I would try to break through his stubborn commitment to the objectivity of science. After four months of wrangling, though, we came to a grudging consensus, and I returned to MKA feeling that my new course had been well tem­ pered by Professor Bock’s chal­ lenges.

Now that I am in the midst of teaching it, and blessed with fif­ teen bright and argum entative seniors, I am beginning to under­

stand that the value of teaching science as a humanities course lies not so much in forging anal­ ogies between disciplines, but in using the analytical skills stressed in English to ferret out the hid­ den agendas of scientific texts.

Whether we are discussing Dar­ win’s metaphors or recent texts in sociobiology, we keep discovering claim s of s c ie n tific o b je ctivity disguising ideological com m it­ ments. Thus, the course teaches the pleasure of the hunt, how to recognize a suspect idea camou­ flaged in metaphor, how to catch a writer as he steps into the shadow of a specious analogy. At a time when we are deluged with populari­ zations of science and politically charged debates on human nature, these are important skills and sen­ sitivities to possess.

I forgot to mention that my friend never returned from his Grail guest. Side-tracked to India, he fell upon a Holy Master and a life-long vow of silence. Returning to the Academy this year, to cacaphonous lunches and boisterous young minds, I often think of him on his mountain and know that I am the jollier Fellow.

David Doster In September of 1982, on sab­ batical from MKA, I began graduate study in mathematics at Rutgers University. In particular, I chose a course of study in pure mathe­ matics ordinarily leading to a Ph.D., but truncated, in my case, to an M.S. The first lecture—an introduc­ tion to algebraic and differential topology which promised a treat­ 10

ment of homotopy groups, cover­ ing spaces, fibre bundles, and dif­ ferentiable manifolds in the first semester—was unforgettable. The professor, ever fond of bizarre topological spaces (the Alexander horned sphere and the Hawaiian earring would soon become fa­ miliar objects of study), gave as a first assignment a series of state­ ments to prove about the hedge­ hog, a close topological relative, he said, of the comb space. Was this a hint, or merely an idle remark, I wondered? And anyway, what is a comb space?

Feeling now like an initiate into the Eleusinian mysteries, I pro­ ceeded to my other classes, Ab­ stract Algebra, Real Analysis, and Complex Analysis. But this was all terra firma. Each course ran for two semesters, providing the oppor­ tunity to investigate the course topics in some depth. By May of 1983, I had acquired a solid and rigorous background in the major branches of pure mathematics. The training I received both deepened my understanding of elementary mathematics and suggested ex­ c itin g p o s s ib ilitie s fo r fu rth e r study. Of particular relevance to my teaching at MKA were the courses in Analysis. It was in these classes that I saw numerous examples, counterexamples, and generaliza­ tions of familiar theorems in calcu­ lus.

The summer of ’83 provided a wonderful opportunity for inde­ pendent study and the completion of a Master’s.essay. With recently gained algebraic knowledge, I was able to do some interesting work in algebraic number theory, an un­ commonly beautiful theory which arose in the nineteenth century from an attempt to solve a problem posed in the seventeenth century

by Pierre Fermat. The problem, known as Fermat’s Last Theorem, remains unsolved; meanwhile, al­ gebraic number theory has become a vast field for research for its own sake.

I suppose I should mention what the graduate students did for enter­ tainment. We attended Friday after­ noon colloquia, of course, offered by the Rutgers Mathematics De-

partment. Advertised as informal addresses accessible to all, the lectures were often comprehensi­ ble only to the cognoscenti doing intensive research in those nar­ rowly circumscribed areas being discussed. Daniel G orenstein’s talk on the classification problem in finite simple group theory was a memorable exception. Gorenstein, an algebraist at Rutgers, explained

that the proof of the classification theorem, to which his contribu­ tions were instrumental, now cov­ ers over 10,000 pages in various journals spanning more than a half century. The next generation will attempt to reduce the proof to a more manageable 2,000 pages, he thinks.

My experience in graduate school, overall, was a very good

one, and I look forward to maintain­ ing informal contacts with the Rutgers mathematics department through the friendships made last year. I am immensely grateful to MKA for its sabbatical program, since this set me free from finan­ cial worry for a year while I engaged in these studies which have as­ sisted so enormously my intellec­ tual growth.

Fall Sports at MKA

by George Hrab

Dave Hutchinson grade 12 A sense of apprehensive and anticipatory excitement certainly filled the September air as we ap­ proached the start of the 1983 fall season. MKA athletic teams had compiled the best record ever in the spring of 1983, winning four State Cham pionships, and the athletes and coaches were eagerly looking forward to continued suc­ cess in the new season. Adding to our apprehension were major changes in some coaching respon­ sibilities, and fueling our anticipa­ tion was the gorgeous sight of Van Brundt Field, com pletely refur­ bished and resodded, a lush green

carpet of grass, waiting for the first cleats to tread on i t . . . and waiting . . . and waiting . . .

Because of the unavailability of the field, a successful season be­ came an even greater challenge.

The coaches and athletes did not let this deter them from the task at hand, and, through a tremendous amount of mutual respect and cooperation, were able to accom­ modate all their practices and games at our Middle School fields.

The days became extremely hectic, but they were certainly productive.

Our football team, under the guidance of first-year head coach John Finelli, was a competitive, disciplined, and well trained unit.

Though they won only one game and tied two, they came up with several fine performances and were only a few key plays away from vic­ tory in several contests. Especially m em orable were Hom ecom ing against Newark Academy, and the contest played on an even level with league champion WardlawHartridge. The team was led by co­ captains Rob Leonardo and Ken Vostal. All-State recognition was given to junior quarterback Mark McGowan and All League honors were won by Ken Vostal, MVP Tim Bizub, and Marc McGowan.

Noble, and All-League recognition also went to dedicated senior co­ captain Dave Nalven and senior goalie Dave Fehnel.

The Cross Country team went through a rebuilding stage with the boys and had very fine performers 11

among the girls, though it suffered from a lack of depth on the girls’ squad. Senior Bryn Fleming led the team both in attitude and perform­ ance, and she had a strong fifth place finish in the State Champion­ ships, improving by nearly two minutes on her previous time.

Girls’soccer, under the expert coaching of Terry Detorie, pro­ duced an outstanding 10-3 record.

The team won its firs t seven games, including a first-ever victory against a strong Princeton Day team on their Homecoming. The season ended with an unfortunate 1-0 loss to this same PDS team in

Maria Raab grade 12 the semi-final round of the State Tournament. Alt-State recognition was received byjuniorstrikerLovey Cerfolio, goalie and MVP Maigann Westfall, senior center halfback Donna Del Gaizo, and senior full­ back Karen Vlaskamp.

Boys’soccer, both varsity (8-7-1) and JV (8-6-1) had successful sea­ sons. During the season, the team had the added challenge and ex-

citement of playing three teams in the top 20 and two teams in the top 10 in the state rankings. A victory in the first round of the state tourna­ ment was another highpoint of the season. First team All-State Prep and All-League honors were re­ ceived by o u ts ta n d in g se n io r center halfback and MVP Chris

Janet Phillips grade 11 MKA field hockey had one of its more successful seasons in recent years, the varsity posting a 7-6-2 record and going on to the semi­ final round of the state tournament, and the JV finishing with an excep­ tional 6-1-1 record. Co-captains and MVP’s Lisa Gibson and Jenny Jones led the team to many impor­ tant victories, highlighted by a win against Pingry in the first round of the State Tournament.

Water Polo experienced a resur­ gence of spirit and attitude and posted a winning 4-2 campaign, in­ cluding a big win against always s tro n g Low er M oreland H igh School. M ykola M ohuchy and Wayne Weil were the team’s offen­ sive and defensive players, and the

squad was led by senior captain Dave Rento.

The gem of the entire season, though, was the performance of the MKA girls’ tennis team. Playing their matches in the fall for the first time, the girls turned in a remark­ able 15-1 record, a jewel unfor­ tunately flawed by a close 3-2 loss to Pingry in the last match of the season, a team they had defeated earlier in the fall. Nevertheless, the team went to the State Tournament undeterred, and with coach Nancy Hayes and several supportive, nerv­ ous parents cheering them on, they proved their mettle by winning the State Championship, defeating de­ fending champion Kent Place and Pingry among the 15 other teams.

The perfect record (20-0) of freshman Alexa Magna and sopho­ more Sandy Hrab at second dou­ bles garnered for them the team’s MVP trophy and First Team AllState recognition. Rita Giacalone and Ritu Thamman were third team A ll-S tate at second and th ird singles respectively, and Alexis Polonofsky and Jane Wilson re­ ceived second team A ll-S tate honors at first doubles. The JV ten­ nis team, not to be slighted, com­ piled a very fine 8-3 record under the tutelage of coach George Berry.

And so, recovering from the disappointment and frustration of the temporary unavailability of Van Brundt Field, MKA’s athletes suc­ ceeded In overcoming their obsta­ cles and posted an admirable over­ all record for the fall season. All the support that was given our athletes by students, parents, and alumni was deeply appreciated, and fur­ ther solid support by all plays a big part in the continued success of our program.

Circle the date of May 5 in red or better, in blue and green! That is the date of PAMKA’s “Tenth An­ niversary Gala,” which will be the exciting kickoff to a year-long cele­ bration of the first ten years of Mont­ clair Kimberley Academy. Plans for the gala include dinner, auction, raffle and elegant desserts.

MKA parents Dr. and Mrs. Ken­ neth Di Stefano have graciously agreed to the use of the former Thomas G. Gates estate on South Mountain Avenue which they re­ cently purchased. The mansion, which adjoins the Di Stefano home, will be used for the cocktail and buffet portion of the evening, with the auction to follow at the Upper School. As with the 1981 auction, the gavel will be in the capable hands of a p ro fessio nal from Phillips, New York, the interna­ tional auction house.

Muriel Windolf and Sue Sorger co-chairmen of 10th Anniversary Auction.

As a major fund-raiser for the Parents’ Association, the antic­ ipated profits from the benefit have already been voted by PAMKA to

help create an extended Fine and Performing Arts Program on all three campuses.

MKA GOLF CLASSIC SET FOR BALTUSROL The second annual MKA Golf Classic will take place on May 18 at the Baltusrol Golf Club, Springfield. Academy trustee and parent John A. Windolf (Hilary ’88, James ’82, Lori Anne 78) will again serve as chairman of the event. Mary Ann McGowan (Mrs. Walter), mother of Mark ’85 and Meredith ’90, will be chairman of the dinner following the golf.

The day will get underway with lunch at the club for the golfers, limited to 12 foursomes, followed by 18 holes of play on the famed Baltusrol links, site of several major national tournaments. Cocktails and hors d’oeuvres will start at 6:30 p.m., with an epicu­ rean dinner served at 8 p.m. The cost of the golfers’ ticket also covers the cost of cocktails and dinner for their spouses. There will be prizes galore presented at the dinner and every golfer is assured of a gift.

The cost for golfing participants is $500 per per­ son. This includes greens fees, carts, caddies, prac­ tice range, locker room fees, lunch, and cocktails and dinner for golfer and spouse. Those not choosing to golf, are most cordially invited for cocktails and din­ ner at a cost of $100 a couple, $50 a person. All pro­ ceeds of the Golf Classic are directed to MKA’s An­ nual Giving Campaign, and participant’s donations are tax deductible.

This is a splendid opportunity to enjoy a wonderful day of golf, fine food, and the companionship of other members of the MKA family, while at the same time making a significant contribution to the Academy.

Since initial response has been enthusiastic, early reservations are advised. To reserve your day at Baltusrol, please call 746-9800, Ext. 232.

“ EDUCATED GOURMET” The Parent's Association of Montclair Kimberley Acad­ emy (PAMKA) has launched another fruitful project with Its. publication of the new cookbook "The Educated Gourmet.” ’ The book contains over 200 pages of tested recipes con­ tributed by the parents of MKA students.

PAMKA members spent thou­ sands of hours collecting, testing, and preparing the illustrated color­ ful cookbook. The looseleaf format of the book Is easy to use in the kitchen. . The cookbook Is divided into seven categories of 300 different recipes. The categories Include ap­ petizers, soups, salads, entrees, desserts, beverages, pasta, breads, vegetables, and condiments.

This collection of recipes was compiled by a PAMKA committee chaired by Mrs. Eugene Wahl of Montclair. The co-chairperson of this year’s committee is Mrs. Paul Varkala o f M o ntclair. Over 40 parents were active in the commit­ tee which worked throughout 1983 to produce this unique book.

Also, Frannie Hardy Feezer’s husband, Charlie, died very suddenly last October- -such a shock for Fran­ nie, their children and many friends.

It certainly must have been an ex­ perience for those of you who had not kept in touch to suddenly confront each other 50 years later!”

MA William J. Thompson, Jr. 415 Claremont Avenue #2E Montclair, NJ 07042 The 50th reunion was fantastic. The attendance was excellent and a great time was had by all who came from near and far to reminisce with classmates, some of whom we had not seen since that hot June day in 1933 when we received our diplomas. Needless to say, we missed our classmates who were unable to attend this eventful reu­ nion.

The Reverend Ced Jaggard, who was a postgraduate in our class, has said it all for us: “ MA Graduation 1933, MKA Reunion 1983 . . . with 50 years, our adult lifespan, in between. A little unreal, even scary. Yet when it hap­ pened last October, old faces weren’t all that strange. Though we were not seventeen again and the buildings were mostly new (and beautiful and far more functional than in “ our day” ), we were, as we were reminded so movingly, back to our roots. “ Old masters, long since departed from this life, lived again for us in our common recollections of Barras, Broadhead, Miller, Monson and others. Of their like we have met but few. They cared for us at a time when we were least lovable but most in need of wis­ dom and motivation.

TKS ’33 50th reunion, Jean Laurence, Peg Riter Agens, Margo McGregor, Betty Dixon Vogt, Helen Mount Marston, Janet Cook, Eloise Warner, Natalie Hopkins Griggs and Edie Bull Miller. “ How good Jean Dale and I found it to share with a Herb Reid, a Vardy Laing and Marion, and Ellsworth Wood at the Montclair Golf Club breakfast table and later with Charlie and Sara Cole Roh ’35, with Dave Stanley and Helen and Hank Doremus and his Helen, to men­ tion those with whom our time in com­ mon and the events of the day afforded special opportunity. How good, even for those shorter moments, to enjoy Charlie Eisler, Fred Stickel and Doris, Bill Thompson, Erwin Wilson and Charles Joelson and his wife. For myself, I want to say to each one of this wonderful crew: ‘Thank you for coming.

I felt as though you came just for me.’ “ Each classmate, each wife as well, enriched the day for Jean Dale and me.

At least two wives I know of were in­ capacitated and unable to come, our prayers for their well being. “ How genuinely did we accept one another; no need to tout accomplish­ ments or explain limitations. Perhaps with retirement recently begun for most, we’ve come more readily to ac­ cept ourselves and with that to accept others—and so more to enjoy our-

selves and others. “ According to the very usable new Alumni Directory, out since reunion, death has claimed several of our number. And there are, of course, the others we would like to have seen. But our gathered third of the original class represents one of the best turnouts ever of a 50 year class. This bears men­ tioning, not for self-congratulation (we were the beneficiaries), but for the evidence that those we conjugated ir­ regular latin verbs with so long ago still mean something very real to us. We came once again, perhaps for most for one last time, to be with those we ran in­ terference for on the football field or debated with in Rostrum or Forum. We came because we cared for one an­ other and, I think we have to admit, because we hoped to feel cared for. I believe none was disappointed. How warm, how enthusiastic the greetings at the buffet tables at the start of the Principal’s luncheon. I will never forget that hour.

Ced Jaggard “ The school itself gave every evi­ dence of good leadership, with positive guidance and initiative from the Prin­ cipal; courteous students anxious in the best sense to “ show o ff” the school that obviously means much to them, and reflecting the strong teaching of the faculty; and a winning and diligent Alumni crew who prepared the way, followed up afterwards, and made ‘the day’, one in which every alumnus pres­ ent felt very much part of the school, though for many it was the first reunion we had returned for. “ Four of us, coming from such far­ ther reaches as Bethesda, MD, Mil­ waukee, Wl, California and western Canada, were accorded the further courtesies of most reasonably priced accommodations at the convenient and comfortable Montclair Golf Club.

The food there for dinner, as well as the luncheon at the Upper School, was simply outstanding. “ The beautiful day, not too cool, bright and sunny, enhanced the sweep­ ing views, once so familiar, of New York twenty miles away, and added espe­ cially to the outdoors enjoyment of the hard-contested game at the Middle School playing field. Times for relaxa­ tion and fellowship were provided, as well as many a lively conversation around the balloon-fested, circular tables for twelve or so at the two mealtimes together. “ Reunion brought me the message

Sarah Cole Roh ’35, Dave and Helen Stanley, Jean and Ced Jaggard, Charlie Roh, Vardy and Marion Laing and Hank Doremus. not only that many years have gone by; it jogged my mind to appreciate the special opportunity which retirement years offer right now to continue the renewal of ties begun at our 50th. In our travels, perhaps a stop overnight at a classmate’s home; at the Christmas season, a greeting by mail with a few handwritten paragraphs highly treas­ ured by the recipient; at least an annual word for the class column in the MKA News. I see this as one of the things I look forward to in my retirement time if health and other conditions permit: to keep up with some whose ties in the past have invigorated, shaped, and in fact constituted crucial parts of my life. “ Among the root memories which make up so much of the stuff of life are those of my years at Montclair Acad­ emy; masters and the learning from them in and out of the classroom; coaches and the contest on field and in gymnasium; beginnings, with Academy friends, of social life outside of school; but especially on-campus interactions of friend with friend in the classes of 1932 and 1933. “ To what degree these reflections strike a responsive note with the reader of all this, I do not know. To the writer, it has brought a good bit of enjoyment trying to pull together this much of the many thoughts whirling through his head at the end of Reunion Day. Still more, it has enhanced my appreciation of what a gracious God permitted us to experience at the Academy at that wonderful formative stage of our years.

Also, at this ‘ last of life for which the first was made’ a decision has crystal­ lized to use these end years to share the good things which One who loves each individual of us has generously given. “ Our routes through life have varied.

Privileges, rewards for efforts made, satisfactions, disappointments, trag­ edies are never distributed equally in

this life. We have not all come to the same conclusions about life and its meaning. I think we all deeply respect that. For myself, I can only say that the key has been the now guiding, now challenging, now sustaining, now disci­ plining, now joy-giving presence in my life of a personal Savior and Lord. Had geography, sequence of events, work, degree of success or failure, particular wife and children been otherwise than they were, I am convinced that the con­ clusion would not be different. “ I stand in personal debt to each of you who returned, to each of you now serving at MKA and involved in Re­ union. You made October 15, 1983 for me one of those special days when some of life’s puzzling things came into a little clearer focus and when some of those things even changed into new op­ portunities. I want to say thank you, thank you, thank you.”

June “ Holly” Mitchell Kimball’s news is always so interesting. She writes, “ In July, Ed and I spent a week in Sweden. Much of Stockholm looks very quaint in Hanseatic League colors, red ochre and black with blue, blue water everywhere. We flew down to Visby on the island of Gotland. Visby has had a turbulent history, passing from Danish to German ownership for a couple of centuries. Now the port, originally a trading center, has been turned into a park and has become a Swedish resort.

From Sweden to England, where the heat was almost unbearable, so unu­ sual for England. Down to Devonshire and a country hotel on Dartmoor which was much cooler. Then we drove through carefully tended English countryside to Winchester to visit one of the world’s most beautiful cathedrals.”

Holly and Ed are enjoying ‘grandparenthood’ with their twin grandsons who now live in New Hampshire.

They discovered unexpected realities in sadness, humor and joy, as the rural community, nature and animals altered their perspectives.”

May found them in Sutter Creek and other towns in the Gold Country where Marilyn attended a watercolor workshop. In September and October they roamed 9,000 miles up and down the Alaska Highway with side trips to McKinley, Anchorage, and the Kenai Peninsula. It was a cold but magnificent trip. Other great events of the year include the arrival of their fourth grandchild in early December and the completion of the new kitchen in November.

Former fac­ ulty members, Miss Jane Bauer, who is now In her 90’s, and Mrs. Ellen Drewes Studdiford, joined us for lunch at the school and dinner at the Montclair Golf Club as guest’s of Sheila’s. It was a truly memorable occasion, filled with

nostalgia and fun. Lucile writes, “ I was delighted to have a chance to talk with my classmates from Kimberley. It’s always thought provoking to pickr up ‘skeins’ from forty years ago and to weave them into the present. Our iives sounded more incredible than the ‘soap operas’ I cast for fourteen years.”

MA The Montclair Academy News of November 12, 1940 ran a front page story e n title d , ‘‘ Five English War Visitors Now Attending the Academy.”

One of these visitors, Captain Philip Morgan Cheek, stopped by the Alumni Office last summer.

Captain Cheek, upon his return to England, wrote the following letter: “ Well, as you know, it has taken me 42 years to re-visit my wartime home in your country, although I have called at numerous U.S. ports during my sea service and spoken over the telephone to the family who gave me a home. “ The visitation was a conscious ef­ fort, for having left my ship at Miami to return to London, the temptation to do some rental driving to Englewood, Florida, and again to Hopewell Junc­ tion, near West Point, to see the dispersed family was really too great.

"I was only at the Academy for two years. And yet what years they were, representing and echoing the survival of the Western World—a world we like to term free; years which decided that not only would Britain be invaded and overrun, but would provide a corner­ stone for 20th century North American resolve to block future opportunists. “ I returned across the A tlantic which, sometimes sadly, separates our two countries from a closer relation­ ship, with my father, at that time the captain of a British merchant ship built during the First World War. The vessel again carried ammunition, your Amer­ ican-built “ Jeeps” and Sherman tanks for a war yet to be won at great cost to both our countries. “ During that voyage, when we lost five ships, I resolved that I, too, would pursue a sea career and join a regiment of British sailors. “ Belatedly, I look forward to hearing from you and Bill Brown, although I fear Bill may not be contactable. If he is, tell the old so-and-so to drop me a line with his address and latest achievements.

He may like to hear how I made out teaching English public school boys how to play baseball for two years before I went to sea.”

the corporate and commercial law field. “ My wife, Sue, now works full time as a psychotherapist In Montclair and is affiliated with St. Clare’s Hospital in Denville. We have three children, Ellen, (married name, Barker) sells securities at Ryan, Beck and Co., in West Orange; Robin is a junior at Boston U. and Jon ‘82 is a sophomore at Harvard. Jon, who is 6' 4" and 200 lbs., plays varsity water polo at Harvard, having learned that sport at MKA. He is the only easterner on the team, most team members com­ ing from California or points farther west. “ Aside from law practice, I have maintained an interest in politics. In 1959, I was the first Democrat elected to anything in Verona—a councilman at that time. In 1968, I headed the NJ Volunteers for Eugene McCarthy-?^ my contribution to the Vietnam pro­ test—and more recently have been ac­ tive in the successful senatorial cam­ paign of Frank Lautenberg. “ Sailing has been my favorite past­ time for many years. We have sailed an ensign (full keel sloop) on Raritan Bay for over 15 years and now keep a Hobie 16 on Barnegat Bay. Photography is another hobby. “ I see Frank Davies every now and then, but have not seep other class­ mates in a long time. A real pity. Re­ gards to all.”

TKS Miss Georgia Carrington 38 Silver Spring Lane Ridgefield, CT 06877 30th Reunion, Saturday, September 29, 1984 Just too late for the fall bulletin was a nice letter from Marian Miller Castell.

She is in her fourth year as Selectman for Darien, CT, so her active involve­ ment in community life is assured.

Marian seems to enjoy the work, although it is time consuming. Her sons, one at Brooks and one at New Ca­ naan Country School, are active in athletics and her husband, George, is a daily commuter to New York. I still haven’t seen Marian, although I’ve spent some time in Darien—maybe the new year will have a slower pace for us all.

Word from Lee Wood Audbuy’s mother says that she had a super visit with Lee and her family in France last October. Lee is still teaching, somehow finding time to prepare classes and grade papers as well as running Leslie and Thomas to all their many activities.

Another wonderful long letter just missed the fall bulletin. Vickie Wendt West was full of exciting news from Scarsdale, New York. John Paul, her oldest son, is a first-rate golfer, ex­ ce lle nt bowler and paddle tennis player. He commutes to New York City, working in architecture and publish­ in g -v e r y versatile! C hristian is a banker and also works with the Animal Welfare League, Benjamin is a very athletic high school freshman. Peter and Vickie somehow find time to keep up some of their own interests as well as encouraging the boys. The Wests took a family trip to Maui a year ago, taking in Denver, San Francisco and Honolulu on the way. Vickie is another one I hope to see before the next col­ umn.

Adrianne Onderdonk Dudden and her family also went to Hawaii last year. They spent Christmas there with Arthur’s daughter and her family. The snorkeling is wonderful and the hiking filled with spectacular views! Alexis continues to be an excellent student and top-notch athlete. She is a real charmer! Adrianne’s work keeps her desk piled high and Arthur tries to keep the Byrn Mawr historians in line.

Casey Durham loves livin g at Lake Tahoe “ casually” working on a Master’s degree at U. of Nevada, Reno.

Jane Hayward Foster’s daughter, Barbara H unter, was m arried to Geoffrey Pohanka in Darien, CT, last November.

I’ve had a busy fall in the new job, but the move is the best thing I ever did!

Haven’t seen any Kimberley faces up here as yet, but hope to this winter.

Please drop me a note with some news for the fall issue and mark your calen­ dars now for our big 30th, September 29, 1984!

MA The Class of ’54 will celebrate its 27

30th reunion on Saturday, September 29,1984, so please mark your calendars NOW! Don Karp has assured the Alumni Office that it is not because he was made a member of the Class of ’58 that he is resigning as Class Secretary! Don hopes that Rabbi Stuart Lasher wiil take over. He received a letter from Stuart who reports, “ My news is much of a sameness. Nothing really changes, it only becomes more so. All I can really tell you about is my kids. The eldest, Nicole, is at UCLA and engaged to be married this June. We are busy plan­ ning a big wedding for her at the Bev­ erly Hills Hotel on Sunset Boulevard.

Danielle is a freshman at California State U. at Northridge. She is thinking about taking her junior year abroad.

Jacqueline is a freshman at Beverly H ills High School and the sportsminded one among us. She is on the JV cross-country team and won the 10K run for Soviet Jewry in her age category in Rancho Park last November. We all enjoy traveling and the four of us are going to Israel for several weeks after the wedding. “ I’ve had my share of obits, so everyone better live. The lottery, by the way, sounds interesting. What did you have in mind?”

Susan is at Denison and Carolyn is a

communications major with an art minor at U. of Denver. Betsy travels with Bob and is involved with various vol­ unteer activities. One of these, Center For Hope, started by a friend in Darien, CT, helps people with life threatening diseases.

Molla Kaplan Reisbaum thought my ‘lion’ sounded a bit ‘fishy’ but never­ theless responded with news of her family. Jonathan, 21, is at Hobartf Mich­ ael, 18, at Ithaca College and EmilyM4, is at Dwight-Englewood. Her husband has his own business in Clifton, NJ, and is. Chairman of the local United Jewish Appeal. Molla keeps busy with her stationery business. She is also in­ volved with volunteer projects, includ­ ing work for Senator B || Bradley. She plays tennis and is learning golf, but doesn’t know when the family will have time to enjoy the new apartment they recently purchased in Boca Raton, FL! Already in Florida is Jane Crawford Lyons, who reported on her life since 1981 when she married John Lyons, an estates and property lawyer in Sara­ sota. Also in 1981, her oldest daughter, Debbie, became a plebe at West Point.

She is now majoring in engineering management and loves it. Son, Toby, is a freshman at Maron Military Institute in Alabama, and Andrew is a sopho­ more in high school. Jane keeps busy with volunteer work at the hospital. She s m s with a group,-called the ‘luffing lassies.'

Summers, the family visits Lake George and Canada and after Christ­ mas they ski in Colorado, visiting Jane's brother, Rob. Jane welcomes any visitors to Florida; they are only two hours from Orlando and Disney World.

Nini De Jurenev writes from Care­ free, AZ, where she enjoys her life in the sun, and the skiing in Vail, CO. She recently organized an open pit barbeque for 800 people as a fund raiser to build a rodeo arena (an event which made the local T.V. News). She does some advertising work and is working on an interior decoration project involv­ ing fountains, a 40' mural, pools etc.

Leave it to Nini to continue to add color to our class news.

We too have an empty nest now, as Scott is a senior at the U. of Chicago and Sabrina a junior at Kent School.SI went to London on a business trip with Larry recently and am involved with various volunteer projects, mainly ‘Art goes to School’ and the YMCA board, and I’ve just completed the ground school course for flying.

Jill Miller is at Tulane U. enjoying the cultural benefits that New Orleans has to offer. She’s looking forward to the Mardi Gras celebrations in March.

Sue Post is currently rush chairman of the Delta Sigs at Colgate U. and has been nominated for president of her sorority next term.

Blake O’Neill enjoys the atmo­ sphere at Washington & Lee u f ln Virginia, and has become a dedicated member of the W&L lacrosse team.

I hope to hear a lot more from you in the future. Keep the letters coming.

MKA Anne Rowland 13 Gordon Place Verona, NJ 07044 Kevin Wilkins, Class Agent 95 Heller Way Upper Montclair, NJ 07043 All in a lB t seems that our class is happy with its college choices. The ma­ jo rity returned for Homecoming to share news and to visit friends at MKA: Doug Colwell and Stephanie Dadaian are enjoying Boston College, and Deb­ bie Chang directed a Paul Simon scene at Barnard, hiring her own actors and actresses. She also plays on Co­ lumbia’s tennis team.

Eric Green has returned from Mex­ ico, where he picked up Spanish cred­ its, and learned the language. He is now attending Colby College. Karen Hammerstroem writes that she will ma­ jor in international management at Pace, is a member of the Phi Psi Gamma Sorority after six long weeks of pledg­ ing. She is very active in her dorm activities, and is playing intramural volleyball.

Hope Hasbrouck is having a great time at Washington U. and extends a big ‘hello’ to everybody. She sees John Matjucha there often and says he is do­ ing really well. Kris Hatzenbuhler likes Wheaton, is working very hard and has joined the riding team.

At Lehigh, Marshall Hendrian is in the Air Force ROTC, on the JV football

team, and plans to become a member of Phi Chi fraternity.

Libby Jeffrey is working and party­ ing at Williams. “ It’s hard not to go out every night,” she says. Life’s tough.

Holly Jervis has been heating up U. Mass. Fortunately she managed to stay away from all those fires that were set in the dorms throughout the fall.

Connie Kiggins goes running often at Cornell, and their fencing team has a terrific new member, our own Marci Reiss.

Laura LaCorte and Jay Wecht think that Tufts is wonderful.

Alison Lochhead’s parents have moved to Georgia, but she and Michael Eisner are perfectly content at Colgate.

Diane Nolle plays clarinet in Sus­ quehanna U.’s Crusader Marching Band, and is working on the yearbook which she says is not nearly as much fun as ours was.

Jill Rosenblum and Jo Ann Surdi are contributing to Brandeis in their separate ways, and Jody Underwood is broadcasting news on Hamilton Col­ lege's radio station.

Our three folks at Dartmouth are hav­ ing a blast: when Dennis Goldstein isn't kneading Biscuits and Maureen Towers isn’t playing JV basketball, they occa­ sionally work on their calculus together.

Kevin Wilkins is a member of an a cappella closed harmony singing group.

The three Yalies are just as busy.

Becky Bowser sings in the freshman chorus, which is taking a short tour to Washington this spring. Tamar Lehrich, after a seven week training session, was elected to the corporate board of

35

Yale’s radio station arid is a DJ. She went to New Hampshire in the fall as a volunteer to campaign for Colorado senator Gary Hart. Lisa Neary still loves to try anything new - now it’s Italian, squash and Bulldogs.

A note direct from the ‘Skiddiesl|in ‘Toga-Town,’ alias Skidmore College, in­ formed me that Nancy Cambria is very Involved in the Outing Club, and Pam Fraser is studying philosophy and art, but still has time to play some hackisack. Adria Pecora was elected vice president and now is president­ elect of the Eastern Student Chapter of the New York State Art Teachers’ Association. Some of her artwork is on exhibit in Skidmore’s gallery.

On the west coast, the three ventur­ ous souls who attend Stanford are en­ joying the different lifestyle. Liz Ghini loves San Francisco. She and a few friends have become ice cream shop critics. Larry Green is writing for the Stanford Daily, and Stephen Hays con­ ducted the Stanford Marching Band In a rehearsal of his arrangement of ‘Should I Stay or Should I go’ by the Clash. He continues to write game programs for TMQ Software, an Atari subsidiary. Who was voted most likely to succeed...?

And then there’s me. I love Wellesley, was elected to the Senate, and co-edlt a newsletter for the college’s committee for a nuclear arms freeze. Thank you to those who told me what they were up to, and when anyone else has news of any kind, please write. We’d love to hear about you. Have a great spring!
