From The B oard O f T rustees Dear MKA Community, Soon after the 1974 merger of Mont clair Academy, Brookside and The Kimberley School, The Montclair Kimberley Academy Board of Trustees undertook the search for a dynamic leader who possessed the heart, mind and soul to shepherd our school forward into the national limelight—an educator with the vision, skills and energy to guide us all toward the achievement of an educational program for our children which would earn MKA such a reputa tion. With the appointment of Dr. Frances R. O’Connor as Principal began an era marked by tremendous growth and progress within the halls of our tri campus community. She has been for MKA an outstanding leader, as well as teacher and advisor, confidante and friend to us all. Fran has encouraged us to dream the impossible dream, passionately devoting herself to each dream’s fulfill ment, proving to us all time and again that, with a lot of hard work and a little luck, our dreams can Come true! For over a decade, Fran O’Connor has shared our dreams for MKA and has worked joyfully, tirelessly and faithfully to bring our dreams to fruition. With her support and guidance, MKA has pros pered and achieved successes well beyond those envisioned by the Board who entrusted the education of our children to her care so long ago. Our school boasts a $3-6 million endowment and a strong Annual Giving tradition, our youngest children now benefit from the improved and expanded facilities at our Brookside campus, and the new Muenster Field on Upper Mountain Avenue pro vides the much-needed additional space for the Middle and Upper School athletic programs. Our outstanding faculty are a tribute to our Principal’s commitment to continuing faculty education and our educational program the result of her leadership role in curriculum development. Our successes under Fran O’Connor’s leadership have been enormous, not the least of which are the award of the coveted Center of Excellence for our Primary School’s Whole Language Program and an unsurpassed college placement record among MKA’s graduates. And her essential commitment to creating an en vironment which nurtures the whole child, not only academically, but phys

ically, emotionally and ethically, has instilled in our community a resolve that there shall be encouraged in each student a greater self-confidence and self-respect, as well as a sincere respect for others and the larger community. For all Fran has done for each of us and for MKA, we owe her a tremendous debt of gratitude. But now, Fran has the opportunity to fulfill a life-long personal dream—to devote her life to the care and education of socially disadvantaged children. With the support and encour agement of the Board of Trustees to follow her dream, Fran O’Connor will assume the Presidency of The Milton Hershey School effective July 15, 1991. The Board of Trustees will pursue the appointment of an interim Principal for the 1991-92 school year and, having already begun its search for qualified candidates, anticipates an appointment during the spring trimester. Concurrently, the Board has appointed a Search Com mittee to locate a permanent Principal to take office in July 1992. Representative members of MKA’s various constituency will participate in this process by serving on Advisory Committees. The Montclair Kimberley Academy has a very fine repu tation, national recognition that is second to none. We are assured an overwhelming response to our search and its success with the appointment of an educational leader who will guide us to even greater achievements in the future.

As MKA’s Principal, and our friend, Fran has shared with and encouraged in each one of us and our children, her love of life and a joy in learnng, her selfless commitment to community, her enthu siasm for embracing each of life’s challenges and an abiding confidence that success is near at hand. Above all, we share Fran’s deep faith that within each challenge lies the opportunity for growth, success and the achievement of our dreams. Although Fran will be sorely missed, she has yet another personal quest to pur sue, another dream to follow. I know that you all join with me and the Board of Trustees in thanking her for her commit ment to the pursuit of our dreams for MKA and wishing her “Bon chance” and “Bon Voyage” to the land of Hershey. Sincerely,

Margaret C. Bridge ’65 President, Board of Trustees P.S. As we go to press: Please see announcement on page 5.

Commencement 1991! It will be a day of celebration for thousands of young people across the country and, of course, for MKA’s 96 graduating seniors. It will be a special day for me, too. You see, I came to The Montclair Kimberley Acad emy in 1979—the year this graduating class started the first grade. Sixteen of us have been together throughout those twelve years, and we met for a hilarious hour or so last fall to reminisce. It was great fun, as the adjoining pictures attest. It also revealed once more how different our views can be. Each of us sees the world from our own perspective—and if our roles are as different as first grade stu dent and incoming Principal, then even the story of the four blind men and the elephant pales by comparison! Let us share with you our memories of The Montclair Kimberley Academy from 1979 to 1991. The Brookside Years: 1979 to 1983 (Grades one through fo u n H I came to MKA in JulyM979- They came in September. They walked through the door holding their mother’s or father’s hands, polished and spiffed up for the first day of school—not a hair out of place, not a scratch on their shoes, trousers and skirts just a little long in anticipation of the growth spurt to come. I stood at the door and greeted them and their parents. Silently I promised them

that their education would be the very best possible. I remember those first four years very well: first the restructuring of the admin istration, then the establishment of a formal evaluation system for teachers and administrators and finally the establish ment of a system where 25 percent of all salaries were given for merit. In those years, a comprehensive computer pro gram for grades K through twelve was designed and established. So ahead of the times was it, that MKA engaged in teacher training preparation in the sum mers, and participants from public and private schools across the country re ceived graduate credits from Montclair State and/or the University of Pennsyl vania after successful completion of the program. At Brookside the Whole Reading/Language Arts Program was revamped. The Whole Language approach was chosen, and primers gave way to children’s literature. Grammar workbooks and spelling texts were replaced by writing workshops and children learned to write and to edit. The school made the decision to parHcipate in serious research and faculty education, and 68 percent of the faculty were engaged in advanced study by 1983At that time, $50,000 of the five-milliondollar budget was spent for this purpose. “ Second Instruction” was begun at the

Middle School—an acknowledgement of the fact that not all the people learn at the same rate of speed. Foreign languages were introduced in the fifth grade, field trips established at every level and a com prehensive tuition schedule adopted. Those were king maker years: two faculty members left MKA to head divi sions of other private schools (Carmen Marnell and Tony Daur). The three faculty members responsible for establishing the Computer Program became nationally known (Char Charlton, Peter Ebling and Judy Kemlitz), and the Reading/Language Arts Program established under the direc tion of Av Green was an outstanding suc cess. PAMKA, the Parents’ Association, became far more active during these years than it had been in the past and published its first cookbook. The Annual Fund reached the $300,000 mark and each campus saw major renovations. Is that really what happened in the “Brookside years,” 1979 to 1983? Perhaps, but now let’s look at it through the eyes of the students. Remember eurythmics with Mr. Parente? Or the haunted house when we p u t our hands in gooey bowls filled with cold spaghetti? I remember doing the “Sound o f M usic” Remember Jam ie in “W innie the Pooh?” What were those sticks called, oh yes, “Cusinaire Rods.” And you brought ice cream cones filled with cupcakes fo r your birthday party! I remember Mr. Seeley—remember him and all the experiments with growing seeds? Remember when Mrs. Hayes’ cousin, Ronald E. McNair, the astronaut, came to talk with us? Yes, I remember. . . he was a crew member o f “Challenger.” (Silence) Remember “Miss Nelson Returns” — and Mrs. Appelquist? Remember collect ing fo r UNICEF, the Valentines Post Office? Or gym —the parachute with p u ff balls, the obstacle course, pony express and nap tim e when we got those fu n n y m ats o ff the wall? Mrs. Lincoln taught us phonics w ith puppets—who was it that made us memorize “Casey a t the Bat?” A nd there was soccer in the back field and that GREATp et tarantula in science. I remember I had had a horrible day, and Miss Cather came by and gave me a kiss and told me nothing could be that bad. I was on cloud nine fo r the rest o f the day! I remember Mrs. Smith — and she still remembers us. . . Mrs. Gelston—and the yellow jacket that went down her sweater. . . H am ilton and the lunch cart! And then graduation—“Super Day,” the carnival. We sang "The Rain bow Connection—the other classes

sang to us. Oh, I ’d love to go back to Brookside and see all those teachers—are m ost o f them still there? Yes. . . most of them are still there! The Middle School Years: 1983-1987 (Grades five through eight) 1984-85 was the Tenth Anniversary of the merger of Montclair Academy and The Kimberley School. The new school, MKA, was deep into educational research. We were developing a cohesive program for the students to replace the traditional “smorgasbord” of offerings. We had turned from the traditional classroom where the teacher is active and the stu dent passive to active learning and teacher-as-coach. Writing process and writing across the curriculum had taken hold and journals were daily events in the classrooms. The Middle School tried a theme approach between Thanksgiving and Christmas and mini-courses were run by the faculty in an almost incomprehensible variety of areas. The property at 40 Up per Mountain Avenue was purchased with the hope of building an athletic field. The Kimberley campus was renovated, the Primary School received a national award as a “Center of Excellence” and the Mid dle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools reaccredited MKA for the next ten years with an unheard-of citation for the superb relations between faculty and students. Emphasis was placed on helping students to take responsibility for their school and their community. The first students went to Latin America in the

“Amigos de las Americas” program, Toni’s Soup Kitchen was staffed by seventh graders, and seniors began their internships. The alumni were very active in these years. The first alumni trip to Italy was an outstanding success, and Elizabeth Jones, Class of ’53, became the first recipient of the renewed Distinguished Alumni Award. In a bold move extended to attract and keep the very best faculty possible, the Board voted a twenty-three percent salary increase in one year! Now, how did the students view these years? Mr. Burger arrived a t the Middle School a t the same year we did! Remember painting the classroom w in dows? What I remember is PEEC—the blind trail, the talent show and “s ’mores!” A nd then there was the Cultural Heritage tim e—and the Greek goddess. . . the heart a t the Franklin In stitute. . . the pretzel factory. Remember survival? A nd how hungry we were. The frogs—dissecting them and then everyone fa iled the test! How about “The Azimagooths and the Chizzelwinks. ’’ Or Mr. Alsofrom. . .a n d 1776? What a memorable day that was! The swim test, ugh? A nd the fitness test! A nd the chinups—I was really good a t them because I was so little! There was soccer and fie ld hockey and Mrs. Elliott a t the Bookstore. There were also blue slips and detentions! A nd the Kwik Shoppe fo r lunch—we weren’t suppose to go but we managed it quite a bit. A nd p izza . . . I bet we kept

the M ontclair p izza industry going. Wallball—we started the tradition and it lives on. Current events and the Science Fair—shooting rockets down the hall— the styrofoam Middle School m ake over! Remember “Know Your Body?” And walking to the Upper School plays. Remember Mr. Kramer’s class where a fo rty percent was an “A !” The Williams burg trip and the projects. . . Mr. Love's science class. . . graduation when Mrs. Smith sent us a letter rem inding us o f w hat we were like in the first grade. Time flies when you ’re having fu n . . . now to the Upper School. The Upper School Years: 1987-1991 (Grades nine through twelve) The 1987-88 year began with the Cen tennial gathering of the entire school at the Upper School gymnasium. The seniors took care of the Brookside students, the faculty processed in academic regalia, and trustees and alumni spoke to the school. The interdisciplinary approach to learning was well underway, and there was great activity at the Upper and Mid dle Schools, in particular, trying to turn the traditional, fragmented college-pre paratory curriculum into a coherent one. Extended Day was started and parents could pick up their Primary and Middle School children as late as 6:30 p.m.; a new math program was put in on all three campuses and the emphasis of the curriculum was to teach children how to learn and how to solve problems. The Helmut E. Muenster Athletic Field at 40 Upper Mountain Avenue was com pleted and dedicated on a wonderful

sunny Sunday. Brookside was renovated and the Middle School Library, Library Annex and front entry refurbished. By these years, the Board was authorizing approximately $100,000 annually for cur riculum development and faculty educa tion. In 1988-89, the parents, alumni and friends of the Academy donated $1.5 million dollars. Career Day, run by the alumni, was a great success. All through these years, the problems of asbestos, ris ing medical costs and uncertain oil prices plagued MKA as well as all other institutions. The Class o f 1991 had a banner freshm an year. A favorite memory is the bomb threat in the ra in . . . and Mr. Petretti asking a ll the freshm an to stand up in m orning meeting. Mrs. Brown’s five-block history vied with ping-pong tournam ents fo r the m ost poignant memories. And then, fo r a first tim e in the history o f the school—-the class lost money on a bagel sale because there was no cream cheese! There was the w onderful trip to Italy, with “Hemmie” dancing and singing to disco. Mr. Gibson’s bellow could be heard through the length o f the building and dictionaries flew i f you lost your a t tention in class. “ MacBeth” tapes in Mr. Noble’s class—studying fo r AP tests— allnighters— athletic contests and artistic displays.

The classes got harder, SAT’s and col lege admissions became gloomy clouds on the h o rizo n S b u t there were always the highlights o f hanging out in the bookstore with “BB” or convincing Mrs. Maran that you really didn’t have a detention! There was the senior cut day that fizzled, the survival shop, the first year with a driver’s license. When I sat down with the students to share memories, I had no idea that I too would be sharing a commencement in June, 1991. As they take their first steps to adulthood and independence, I will be making a new move in my own profes sional career. If you wonder whose memories of the past twelve years are the most true, then I have to admit that it is the family that lives in a house that knows it best, not the architect who planned it—it is the children on the playground who understand it, not the contractor who built it. School years belong to students—and it is their memories that are the “truest.” The laughter and tears, growing, struggling and succeeding—that is what schools are about. Buildings, fields; curriculum and schedules are the tools that adults use to shape the environment so that students can grow. The Class of 1991 has grown wonderfully: they and MKA will always be close to my heart.

N otes A round M ka At the 1990-91 opening faculty meeting, Principal Fran O’Connor honored long-term faculty and staff for years of loyal service. She said: Educational institutions are not built of stone, slate or wood—but rather of human spirit, wisdom and optimism. They are places where intelligence, warmth, effort and pride come together for the sole purpose of enriching the newest generation, em powering them with information and skills, strong values, high inspiration, tenacity and hope. All of us build MKA each day, no matter what our roles. . . . Some are significantly responsible for our ever growing, changing and improving Academy because of the years of per sonal contributions and the loyalty they have invested in it.

Dear MKA Community, The Board of Trustees is pleased to announce the appointment of Richard J. Dolven as Principal of The Montclair Kimberley Academy for the 1991-92 school year. A native of Minnesota, Dick has spent most of his life in the East. A graduate of Albany High School, he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Geology from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. While pursuing a Masters in Divinity at Yale University, he taught algebra and chemistry at nearby Hamden Hall Country Day School. In 1958, he joined the faculty at the Hackley School in Tarrytown, New York. In 1963, Dick was apppointed Assistant Headmaster of Pennsylvania’s Mercersburg Academy; he served as college guidance counselor, coordinator of the advisor program for faculty and students and director of the summer programs. Between 1968 and 1977 as Headmaster of Gould Academy in Bethel, Maine, Dick strengthened the college preparatory curriculum, established extensive foreign exchange and outdoor programs and developed strong student advisor and faculty evaluation systems. In 1977, Dick returned to New Haven as Headmaster of Hamden Hall Country Day School, a Pre-K through 12 college preparatory, coeducational day school. His achievements while there include a dramatically increased enrollment, improved academic and athletic programs and expanded facilities, outstanding foreign exchange and music programs and an outdoor program patterned after Outward Bound. Dick embraces MKA’s mission wholeheartedly; MKA is fortunate indeed to have found such a distinguished educator to lead our school next year. We welcome him into our community. Dick’s sincere concern for the independent growth of each individual, his love of learning and his personal commitment to MKA’s educational goals will ensure our achievement of even greater successes. Sincerely,

Margaret C. Bridge President, Board of Trustees

Career Day Speakers

What is it like to be on an oil rig? How did you get your first break on stage? What summer jobs did you have? Will you go into politics someday? These and other questions were posed during Career Day on February 7 when alumni shared their advice and experience with current students. Long-term faculty had the pleasure of seeing former students return. Said one, “I can remember giving X detention slips; now he’s here in a threepiece suit advising students.” The event was organized by Kristine Hatzenbuhler O’Connor ’83 of the Alumni Council; Suzanne Saldarini, Director of Student Services; Upper School Librarian Vivian Greenspan and Academic Dean Robert Sinner; and the Alumni Office.

Bob Hoonhout ’71, President o f the MKA Alum ni Association, congratulates Tom Stockham ’51, recipient o f the 1990 D istinguished Alum ni Award. Dr. Stockham, an electrical engineer, invented digital recording.

It gives me great pleasure and pride to report that alumni are increasingly involved in the life and activities of MKA. Thanks to the enthusiastic efforts of class reunion chairmen, a record number of alumni returned for reunions at Homecoming and had a wonderful time despite incle ment weather. Alumni volunteers called more friends at Phonathon and obtained increased support for our school. The tenth annual Alumni Hockey Game over the holidays attracted a crowd of hockey alumni, parents, and fans; for the fifth consecutive year the Cougars

prevailed, 5-2, over rival Montclair High School alumni. This year another holiday tradition was begun: the Alumni Basket ball Game, pitting Alumni against the Varsity. (The Varsity won in a 44-42 thriller.) Both games are great fun and attract current students as well as alumni. In early February, the Association spon sored a sold-out “Night With the Devils,” our third annual fundraiser at a New Jersey Devils game at the Meadowlands. One of the most rewarding things alumni can do is to share their advice and experience with current students. We are pleased that so many outstanding alumni returned for Career Day on February 7. Thanks to Kristine Hatzenbuhler O’Connor ’83 for her outstanding debut as Career Day chairman. As we go to press, plans are under way for another fundraiser, “Wine at the Castle,” a wine sampling party at Kip’s Castle. Distinguished Alumni Award and Senior Breakfast committees are busy with our spring activities. I thank particularly the hardworking members of the Alumni Council who have made all the above events possible. To other alumni—please keep in touch. We need you!

C lass Notes Editor’s Note As those of you in classes that have secretaries already realize, we use one official mailing each year to obtain news, which will be in the FALL magazine. SPRING magazine Class Notes are taken from reunion, holiday, and phonathon news, the flap on the Annual Giving remittance envelope, and the “Grapevine” on the inside back cover. Although the items might seem “old,” we have found that most people love to read news whenever. The time lapse is unavoidable, as the processing of Class Notes from secretary to Alumni Office to classmates to secretary to Alumni Office to typesetter to printer covers a 14 to 16 week period! Please remember that you can send a note to your class secretary or to the Alumni Office anytime. To those of you whose class has no secretary, how would you like to volunteer? The job has been simplified to the point that you will probably find it downright enjoyable! It is no exaggeration to say that the position of class secretary, like that of class agent and reunion chairman, is absolutely essential to the vitality of the school. Please consider it.

Of a known list of 36, 14 indicated they expect to return for our 50th Reunion and bring 10 wives for a total of 24 people. We also have some “very possibles.” On a sad note, Howard’s efforts to turn up former teachers has met with the sobering truth that life is transitory: Norman Allen died in 1966, Karl Billhardt in 1967, and Charles Jaillet and John Vail more recently. The bright spot is that Howard Parker, to whom we dedicated our 1941 Octopus, is alive and well and will attend! Perry Minton wrote: ‘‘The fall Class Notes contain an item from Dick Carrie about teachers Barras, Miller, and Monson, and like Dick, I was one of their “unwilling” students, but even as a teenager I recognized what good teachers they were - they and others at the school then. One of them, Howard Parker, remains a friend and correspondent. Now that two of my children are teachers, I couldn’t be prouder, and I just hope they will leave their mark on and be remembered by their scholars in the same tradition I first encountered at Montclair more than 50 years ago.” Bob Lamb reports four children, eight grandchildren and 25 years breeding and showing Old English Sheepdogs and Tibetan Terriers; 50 years of mediocre golf and 42 years of practicing good dentistry. Bill Hall reports a trip to Europe last fall (barging in Burgundy). He has a 50th reunion also at Noble and Greenough where he graduated after leaving the Academy.

He received his B.A. cum laude, M.A. and Ph.D. from Princeton, was a Fulbright Fellow and Exchange Teacher, and taught at Groton, Lawrenceville, and the Hill School. In his retirement speech Frank said, “I should like to share with you a few thoughts which are dear to me as an educator. First and foremost every teacher should always be aware that he is teaching young men who are looking for a model by which they can form and guide their lives. For some their teachers’ influence can impress as deeply as that of their parents. “In my own career I was fortunate enough to have two such teachers, to whom I now want to pay tribute....To [Princeton mentor] Antony E. Raubitschek ... .To Claude Wilmot Monson, who taught me at Montclair Academy, I owe my choice of a profession and from him I learned many of my teaching techniques. I can remember how he used to send us to the blackboard without our notes to write one of the sentences set for translation into Latin and, if we did not meet his expectations, how he used to express his disapproval with an “X’’ struck through the word....Mr. Monson was a great teacher

Since then I’ve remarried: the old story, ‘older brother of dear friend (Laurel Pekar Tahija ’67)’ Jay Pekar. We had a sweet little girl, Amanda, named for my mother, in August, just three days after our move to our house in Miami. Sari Kramer saw us on Amanda’s first plane ride in October. The shellshock is easing, but fellow classmates with teenagers will enjoy a laugh about my adjusted focus from the world of the Wall Street Journal to breast feeding and cloth diapers.” Your secretary has gone back into private law practice in Boston, but in this economy I have ample time for charitable activities - a mixed blessing.
