Pur Common Purpose M em bers o f o u r MKA com m unity have spent fiv e months developing the "Common Purpose. ", I have included this statement in this issue o f the A lum ni News so you can exam ine it. B efore you read, you should know how it cam e about.

A new draft was then review ed by the faculty, staff the PAMKA Executive Board, the A lum ni Council, a n d MKA studentsfro m grades 7-12. (By the way, the students’ com m ents were w onderful. F o r exam ple, the M iddle School students suggested that we should write a "children’s version" to enable o u r y o u n ger students to understand ou r Common Purpose.)

A fin a l draft was then written a n d brought to a n d exam ined by the Educational Policy Committee o f the B oard o f Trustees, the C urriculum a n d Instruction Committee, a n d then by the fu ll B oard o f Trustees. In D ecem ber, the B oard o f Trustees voted u n a n i mously to approve o u r Common Purpose. The docum ent will now be p u t into a special p u b li cation, complete with photographs. Over the course o f the year, the faculty, staff, a n d stu dents ivill discuss the docum ent. O ur Common Purpose will becom e o u r reference, o u r gu id e, a n d o u r compass.

was formally inducted at a splendid Investiture on September 25 in the Fairleigh S. Dickinson Gymnasium. Students from all three campuses - from the littlest Brooksiders to Upper School seniors - watched the Trustees, administration, and faculty p ro ce ss in colorful acad em ic regalia to the music of a brass quintet.

In the symbol-laden ceremony, speakers represented the various school constituencies and artifacts testified to tradition. P eter N. P erretti ’49 - alumnus, President of the Board of Trustees at the time of the KimberleyAcademy merger, and parent of three MICA alumni - welcomed Dr. Greer on behalf of alumni. Linda Garippa, a Trustee and the President of PAMKA, spoke on behalf of the Parents’ Association. Ken Gibson, the senior member of the MKA faculty (he came to the Academy in 1966) represented the faculty. Senior Renee Monteyne, President of the Student Council, spoke for the students.

Special invited guests delivered inspiring remarks. Dr. Bonnie F. Guitón, Dean of the Mclntire School of Commerce at the University of Virginia and a former colleague of Dr. Greer at the U.S. Department of Education, spoke warmly of his character. The main address was delivered by Dr. Edwin J. Delattre, President Emeritus of St. John’s College, who has worked with Dr. Greer for years and followed him as Dean of the School of Education at Boston University. In his response, Dr. Greer articulated some of the philosophy of education and ethics that

T h e L o n g l i n e o f L e a d e rs Symbolizing the continuity of leadership, Dr. Greer used several artifacts belonging to the school’s founders. He carried a cane pre sented by the Alumni Association to Academy founder John G. MacVicar. In a dramatic moment, Dr. Greer signed the Principal’s copy of Within These Halls, the history of the school written for the Centennial in 1987, using a pen belonging to Kimberley’s first Principal, Mary Kimberley Waring. The pen had been sent especially for the occasion by Miss Waring’s niece, C h arlotte F itch ’29. On the table stood the brass bell used in the Peter N.

From The Alumni Association From the Alumni President We are delighted to note that more and more of our alumni are contributing their time and talent to MKA. Alumni studied and helped draft the school’s “Common Purpose” this fall; alumni called friends and supporters during Alumni Phonathon, helping obtain crucial donations for Annual Giving. Alumni are “net working,” as reunion chairman and class secretaries, by helping with contacts, or by returning to MKA to share their talents and advice with students. It was great to see so many alumni back for Homecoming and reunions and for the Alumni Hockey Game. Congratulations to our Cougar hockey players, who came from behind to an exciting 6-5 win, their seventh consecutive victory! We have established the MKA Alumni

Association Memorial Trophy as a record of the alumni games. The inscription reads from the words of the school song —“Our thanks to those who went before/ and set a standard high,” in honor of faculty and alumni. Basketball Alumni were also victorious at the Alumni-Varsity Basketball Game over the holidays. A good time was had by all, and we hope that this event will grow every year. The Alumni Association had an exciting evening at our fifth annual fundraiser, “A Night With the Devils.” We look forward to a good turnout at our spring networking event. We urge you to become involved with MKA. The strength of a school depends on the support of its alumni. Robert H. G ardner ’78

Career Day What Do You Want To Be When You Grow Up? Many alumni who were MKA students them selves not so long ago returned to campus on February 10 to share their experience, advice, and the pros and cons of their careers with Upper School students. Some were reunited with their own faculty, who are now teaching the current generation. At Career Day, MKA students get a chance to ask questions both practical and philosophical, from “What is a good internship for X career?” to “Is the work rewarding?” and get a thought ful response. Career Day is a project of the Alumni Association - under chairman K ristin e H atzen b u h ler O’C on n or ’83 - the Alumni Office, Upper School administration, and students, who serve as hosts.

Class Notes Editor’s Note As those o f you in classes with secretaries realize, we use one yearly mailing to obtain news, which appears in the FALL magazine. SPRIN G 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 o f Class Notes from secretary to Alumni Office to classmates to secretary to Alumni Office to designer 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. T o those o f you without a class secretary, how would you like to volunteer? The job has been simplified to the point that you will probably find it most enjoyable! The position o f alumni class secretary, like that o f class agent and reunion chairman, is absolutely essential to the vitality o f the school. Please consider it.

A Gem Reviewers at the Cannes Music Festival called “M y New Gun” by writer/director Stacy Silverstein Cochran '77 “original,” “cool,” and “a small gem.” Stacy was one o f three American directors among 20 fea tured in the Cannes Directors’ Fortnight last May. She has also been to festivals in Toronto, Seattle, Boston, and Chicago. “Gun” played in New York and California to raves all fall. “The movie is fiction,” says Stacy. “It’s about guns as a consumer item. It’s not a violent movie. Nor is it a politicaliffiovie. It’s an adven111re-crimcdy.” The New York Times did a glowing profile-of Stacy in its Sunday Arts and Leisure section (October 25), noting admiringly that it is extraordinarily rare to have had a feature film made within a year o f gradua tion from film school. (Stacy received a master’s degree in film from Columbia University in January 1991. She devel oped the script for “Gun” in a screenwrit ing c la s s lH Before attending Columbia, Stacy had written/directed two short films, “Cocktails at Six” and “Another Damaging Day.” She says she “always wanted to write...but not necessarily for the movies,” according to an article in the North Jersey H erald News. She majored in political sci ence at Williams College, then worked as a writer for the Electric Company magazine at the Children’s Television Workshop. It was there Stacy began writing film scripts that “catch the darkly bent side o f subur ban living,” to quote the Times. “M y New Gun” was produced and dis tributed by IRS Media o f Los Angeles, with finaniang from Columbia TriStar Home Video. It was shot in Teaneck and Clifton and stars Diane Lane.
