0 $ € b it< :z p Q fb m etp The Montclair Kimberley Academy’s Board of Trustees has established the,Heritage Society in honor of those donors who make a commitment to guarantee the future financial security of the school.! These generous donors arrange bequests, establish trusts and make gifts to the Academy’s Pooled Income; Fund.

A bequest may take a variety of forms, including: „ • A gift of cash, securities, or real property • A specified percentage of your estate • A contingency bequest, ftaming MKA in your will if other beneficiaries are no * longer living The Pooled Incom e Fund is simple and straightforward. The fund will accept any gift of $5,000 or more. The money is invested in a well-managed fund, and the donor, or his designee,: receives quarterly dividends based on the amount of the investment. Upon the death of th e donor or désignée, the original investment becomes a gift to MKA. If you have some highly appreciated stock with a low dividend yield, you can contribute the stock to MKA’s Pooled Income Fund (no capital gains’ tax), receive a tax deduction (based on actuarial figures), and increase your present income with a higher yield on this investment. .It’s good for you and, over the long run, good for the school. If you have included the school in your estate plan, either with a bequest or other planned gift, please let the Office of External Affairs know so that we may honor you as a member of the Heritage Society. For further information, call or write: Judy Polonofsky, Director of External Affairs, The Montclair Kimberley Academy, 201 Valley Road, Montclair NJ 07042 (201/746-9800).

From the Headmaster

D e a r Members of the MKA community, This is the issue of R eview I fantasize that many of you will, with considerable pride, read immediately and then place prominently on a table in your living room.

unprepared for what professorslgre doing now in their college classrooms. Clearly, our students will be at an advantage upon entering college because o f this timely focus on technology at MKA.

You might be wondering about the significance of the dramatic cover of this issue. On February 6, 1996 we were delighted to learn that MKA’s Upper School had been designated by the U.S. Department of Education as a National Blue Ribbon School! We are one o f only nine independent schools selected nationwide! ’it’s an extraordinary honor, given the fierce national competition, and shouts volumes about the caliber of MKA’s students and faculty. The award also is evidence that our MKA parents at all three campuses are serious and care deeply about the educational promise of their children.

There are stories about traditions. We not only respect several of the long-lasting traditions (e.g., Alumni Holiday Games), but we have instituted new traditions to encourage a harmony of place - a place worth caring about years later. These new traditions include the very first Thanksgiving Day Game, the new MKA sweaters, and the Athletic Hall of Fame) Please look for the box in the Bulletin Board if you are interested in serving or nominating someone for the Alumni Council. Our alumni are served best by a strong Council.

If you want to enjoy a strong and good feeling for your alma mater, other sections in this issue will please you. The lead article is about the giant step MKA has t a k e jll in enhancing its teaching and learning through technology. This is particularly important given the recent increased action at the college level. A recent study by the C h ron icle o f H ig h er E d u cation alerts and warns us that if we do not provide learning opportunities in technology to students, they will be

At the Primary School, Pre-Kindergartners work on their classroom computer; beginning in kindergarten, work in the computer lab as well. In a program called “Millie’s Math House,” they learn to recognize patterns - left to right, small toslarge - and conceptualize colors andphapes. They learn to manipulate and word process.

High tech has c o m a o MKA. Over theatummer, all three campiM-'s were wired for tspects of data and vidé© c o n su m p tio n .

Everywhere thg fpculty and students are energiJld and learning h ow to use the incredible new fesbiiafees.

By second grade, students have learned to select, click, and drag their “mouse” and build a desktop page. In the KidPix program, art lessons are applied on screen: “Look for geometric shapes. Put together triangles, circles, squares and your imagination to make a drawing.” Students must select tools - a paintbrush, a>/ pencil - and choose size and cfflors. This teaches dffision-making and working with tools. Or they might cancel the whole thing. Monico reports their favorite tool is the eraser, Beyond the Bomb, which “explodq|’’ tjlbir drawing.

In December a first grade project was “A Holiday Wish For the World.” Busing their computers, children illustrated a picture of the world and word-processed their message. The results were so sincere and charming that they have been sent to President Clinton.

“It’s no longer read a book and write|| book report,” says Lorraine Pietrucha, Technology Coordinator at the Middle School. “Reports now have sound and animation.”

■ wish there was [sic] no guns and no cigarettes in the world.” By third grade, students are looking into the Internet every ilfcrning in their classroom, checking on the weather and documenting it. A research project, Inquiry Into Colonial Times, instead of being teacherdirected, asks the students to research an area of interest. Students supplement conventional resources books, demonstrations, talking with people - with research via the computer. They can bring up the Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia or go into the Internet’s directory, Netscape, to find a subject. Articles, pictures, even “virtual archives” of primary documents appear on the screen - and can be printed for a student’s report.

To that end, fourth, fifth, and sixth g r a ^ f M d ^ » are using a new Logo-based multimedia program called MicroWorlds, which gives an introduction to creating interactive programming [responding to user’s choices].

The Distance Learning Room, designed by Bell A tlantiS even looks different from all other computer fto m s. It is carpeted; the chairs are comfy; and the. desks are flat and glass-topped. Students look dow n to see their computers. Three video cameras snake down from the ceiling to catch the class, teacher, and teacher’s notes,-or text. Two huge monitors mounted at shoulder height peer out at class. One screen records the focu sR f the classroom cameras; the other, divideJ||nto four parts, captures what’s happening in three other locations as well - for example, another s e fS p or distant lecturer. lif e room, with If: DOS-compatible Power Macintosh •6100 computers, is used as a computer lab as well as a distancé learning room.

“We have learned the hard and exciting lesson that, at this point, many students know more about computers than faculty,” says Headmaster Peter Greer. “At the same time, all faculty and staff have demonstrated an infectious enthusiasm to learn new or expanded ways to use technology. Many are clamoring for more, more, more. They are 'raising the ante’ on us all.”

LEGO/Logo: A S ixth G rade M ini-Course by Sang Mi Batoff ’88 Middle SchMbl Faculty The LEGO/Logo mini-course centers around the Control Lab, which combines LEGO building blocks, a Macintosh computer, an interface box, and a variation of the Logo language. Students build LEGO models like cars, washing machines and elevators by following detailed instruction manuals. They mobilize them by connecting the models with wires to the interface box, which .is/ connected to a serial port of the computer. Finally, students program the computer to manipulate their LEGO models.

“We are now a technology leader as we must be, given the increasing use of computers at the collegeiEvel,” Dr. Greer contiriues, “but our technology’s best use is to enhance the teaching repertoire of our splendid faculty and to challenge them.” Last year the Board of Trustees made the commitment to make technology the key component of the Long-Range Plan, making MKA preeminent in the technological aspects of education. It is happening ahead of schedule to unpredicted enthusiasm. There are still many additions to purchase —such as outfitting "f ore classrooms with a computer, VCR, and 27” screen, and providing videoconferencing equipment to the Middle and Primary campuses. These will be added as successful fundraising is completed.

For instance, they can build a washing machine equipped with lights and a door, and can program the machine to work when the door is shut and the ready light is on. It can a R K indicate that the lggmdry is done by making a beeping noise. For many projects, the students must follow instruction bdoks, but they are ofterapermitted to make their own creations. I find that girls and boys tend to approach LEGO/Logo differently:- girls tend to pay close' attention to the manuals while the boyigfind following instructions extremely tedious. JBevertheless, they both reach the same end: learning a great deal aboSf technology and having fun.

The new technology at MKA is more than the pride and joy of computer buffs; it is an exciting new tool expanding the very parameters of education. C hristie A ustin

Now you can add a new one: the morning Thanksgiving Day Football Game versus Newark Academy. The first Turkey Day game at home for MKA at Van Brunt Field - was an enormous success:'a huge turnout and a smashing Cougar victory, 34-8. One newspaper estimated the crowd at 2,000 people. Students, parents, faculty, and a great range of alumni back for the holiday mingled on Lloyd Road and cheered the team. MKA cheerleaders performed acrobatic routines, the pep band enhanced school spirit, and the football team stunned the Minutemen. Advance flyers had hyped the great rivalry between the schools, noting that MKA had 26 wins, 43 losses, and 3 ties dating back to 1903. Since the merger, MKA has 8 wins and 7 lossesp (“For all the MA grads who long for the old days, this is scientific proof that the merger was a wise decision.”) This year’s Thanksgiving game made it 27 wins. This year’s game will be away at Newark Academy.

• Congratulations to senior William McCormack, ~~who earned the coveted rank of Eagle Scout, the highest award conferred by the Boy Sdp jraof America.

• An article by junior Blair Dore appeared in N ation al G olfer magazine (Aug./Sept. 1995). “Q ullfying for the U.S. Junior Open” recounts Blair’s experience in competition and offers suggestions to other players (“Check your ego in the parking lot...Treat the qualifier as a learning experience”).

She was the youngest pianist to participate in the Piano Performance Workshop at the Eastman School of Music in RochesteSN .Y. And, at the invitation of the Korean Music Teachers Association, Yeonji performed to a capacity audience (1,200) at Little Angel:| Performing Arts Center in Seoul, Korea.

Blair plays for the MKA golf team and notes in the article, “My one year of high school golf had helped hone my competitive instincts. I was hopeful that it had also raised my basic golf skills and playing ability to the point where I would at least make a competitive showing.” He did.

Yeonji only started piano three and a half years ago. • Junior Pamela Saxena was one of 10 Americans selected by audition for the prestigious Tanglewood Music Festival. Tanglewood, called “one of the world’s fineJSinstitutes in chamber music and orchestral studies” by celebrated violinist Oscar Ravina, gives students from all over the world the ,, opportunity to study with internationally renowned musicians for three months of the summer.

• Junior Jonathan Zweifler was awarded the top prize in his photography class at the University of Oxford in England. Jonathan attended The Oxford Tradition, a month-long summer program for high school students from all over the world. The Tradition offers study in 25 different fields, plus guest lectures and field trips.

Pam - “a very gifted young violinist-according to her teacher Oscar Ravina - plays many concerts with the Montclair State University Sympja'ony Orchestra. She played Tchaikovsky’s S econ d Sym phony “exceptionally well” at Carnegie Hall at age 12 or 13, he says. Pam is also concert master/mistress at Youth Orchestra of Montclair, one of its youngest members.

Jonathan says his interest in photography took off the summer after his freshman year, when his brother David (MKA ’89) helped him get an internship at the Ja k a r ta Post, Indonesia. Four of Jonathan’s photos appeared in the Ja k a r ta P ost and another was published in A gen ce F ree Press.

In addition to devoting three hours to music practice a day, Pam plays on the MKA tennis and lacrosse • teams.

At MKA Jon takes advanced study photography, and helped start the school’s first video production studio. About 10 students have signed up for the club, and they are working on a video yearbook for the end of the year.

The younger Saxena sisters - Aneeta, a sophomore, and Anjali, in fifth grade - also play violin under t h S tutelage of Ravina. The trio delighted Middle School students at a strings concert in December.

MKA a t C arnegie H all The MKA Chorale has Seen invited to perform the R equ iem by Gabriel Faure at Carnegie Hall on Sunday, May 26, at 8 p.m. The C llra le will join choirs from around the country, including the UCLA Choral Society, Witchita High School Choir, Longwood College Ch|>ir (West Virginia) and others to comprise a total choir of. 200 voices.

• Fifth grader Yeonji Kim played a 30-minute Mozart piano solo at the Seoul Symphony of New York Concert in December. Though only ten years old, Yeonji has already participated in more than thirty recitals of solo and chamber rn u sa in several outstanding halls, including Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall and Steinway Hall in New York City.

Tony Chair of the Fine and Performing Arts Department, said that he was-delighted to start the gallery with such a strong show. The Upper Gallery located beside the Dining Room - will feature various exhibitions by students and faculty throughout the year, with alumni work in the fall.

Powder Puff football at MKA dates back to the 1980s and has been played intermittently over the years; for awhile it was deemed sexist and not played. (Does anyone remember the origin of the game? Please call the Alumni Office 20S509-7940.) Some say the tradition dates back to pre-merger days in the early 70s, when Kimberley girls dared Academy boys to pick up a field hockey stick. Trouble was, ice hockey players had trouble with girls’ rules (n q ;.checking, no high sticks). It was fun, though.

Dodge Foundation presents the fellowships “to recognize and encourage outstanding new teachers as they enter the teaching profession through New Jersey’s alternative certification program.”

• Twelve MKA Upper School students devoted a day off from school - the holiday of Yom Kippur - to work at the Habitat for Humanity building site in Paterson. The activity was initiated by the students. Nina Aron, Francisco Clavijo, Matt Iversen, James Larson, Larissa Lury, Simone Mangili, Leah 0§car, Aneeta Saxena, Kate Scelsa, Sharon Skettini, Dan Solomito, and Ellen Stern were joined in the strenuous labor by faculty members John Murray and Pier Kooistra.

• Headmaster Peter Greer received a letter from Thomas Shannon, Executive Director of NSBA (National School Boards Association): “Thank you for sending me a copy of the August issue of MKA’s M oral C onversations. It was well done, and...fills a real need. I wish it would be replicated by public. school principals.”

• Congratulations to MKA’s Physics I team, which won the local round of competition in the New Jersey Science League over five area schools. The Biology I team placed second. According to Upper School faculty member Warren Marchioni, some 200 high schools'in the state send teams to the competition, a .¿Jjeries of tests given in January, February, March, and April. There will be a statewide ranking at the end of the com petitio^H

Mr. Shannon goes on to compliment Dr. Greer’s “clear understanding of the complex context that moral/values/character/ethics education has in the public schools.”

The MKA physics team - which had “unusually outstanding’kscores:; juniors Elizabeth Lieb, Justin Sarma, Zuzana Tothova, Devasena Vallabhaneni. The biology team: sophomores Matthew Giampapa, Leigh Guarinello, Anastasia Lambert, Emily Zackin, and alternates Parag Butala and Guari Taralkar.

• Bancroft School visit: MKA is in partnership with the Bancroft School of Worcester, Mass., in continuing to? educate faculty in the study of ethi™. In November, six members of the MKA faculty hosted six members of the Bancroft faculty and Dr. Edwin Delattre for two days of discussion and classroom observation. Because they share the same goals and mentors - Dr. Stephen Tigner and Dr. Delattre - the faculties wi|pif: continue to explore mutual concerns through e-mail and long-distance computer capabilities.

The G reatest C hallenge Congratulations to Upper School faculty member Warren Marchioni, whose article “The Brain: UserFriendly and a Fascinating Classroom Subject” appeared in The A m erican B iology T each er magazine (Sept. 1995).

O utstanding C om m unity O rgan ization Aw ard Isaiah House, an East Orange family emergency shelter and AIDS hospice, awarded MKA its 1995 Outstanding Community Organization Award in January in “grateful appreciation of many years of student and parent charitable outreach on behalf of our residents.”

The lengthy illustrated article presents rationale and activities for biology students to leam about brain structures, development, and functioip “The scope, of course, of brain study for young biology students has to be limited by its complexity and the amount of time available in the curriculum,” he writes, “but [that] section of the course can be as lively as the daily headlines....”

MKA’s Community Bookshelf has collected thousands of books for the Isaiah House literacy progranM Upper School Key Club members are currently building and painting shelves for them to gd on. Every year the Teen Center Holiday Dance “admission ticket” is a wrapped toy for the childreimn the shelter, and Upper School food and warm, clothing drives provide hot mealjfand warmth.

• Congratulations to Middle School faculty member Ralph Capamlo, who received a merit award for his mixed-media sculpture, “Book of Lost Thoughts,” at the 14th Annual Metro Show at the City Without Wall|| Newark. This juried exhibition, featured 73 works of some 600 submissions.

Gienda Kirkland, Executive Director of Isaiah House vand an MKA parent, said, “This relationship between the shelter and MKA has been ongoing and comprehensive for many years. The caring has made a great deal P f difference to u|:i

Ralph was singled out for praise by art critic William Zimmer in The N ew York Times, who wrote, “For me, thd^ingle most compelling object in the exhibition is Ralph Caparulo’s “Reliquary.” The show, called “strong, diverse, engaging,” will tour New Jersey well into 1997.

The MKA Sw eater What’s green and white and worn as a badge of honor? (It cannot be bought in the Bookstore.) The MKA Sweater! The MKA Sweater is presented from time to time to those individuals who have done something OUTSTANDING for the MKA community.

Johannes Trapp, a junior,, comes from Leichlingen, Germany. He too has been struck by the warm relationships between teachers and students and the fact that it is possible to consider a teacher to be a friend. He has had to adjust to school being such a consuming part of daily life here. Johannes has played soccer, is helping with the musical, and will play lacrosse p)r the first time. He thinks that his contribution has been to show his classmates a different point of view, especially in history. Johannes hag,, enjoyed making new friends and looks forward to showing some « them his home one day.

The! first sweaters were presented at Gathering III in September. Maintenance staff members Richard Fleming and Julius Della Rovere - to great applause from therei ndents - were presented sweaters for their heroism at the time of a chemical spill lis t year. Faculty members Ken Gibson, Joan Grevatt, George Hrab, and Judy Nesbit were awarded sweaters for their years of inspired teaching and selfless indication to students. Senior Larissa Lury was honoredlfor intellectual, athletic, and artistic ach iev em en t Trustees John and Linda |§arippa, Director of External Affairs Judy Polonofsky, and Dr. Greer himself were presented sweaters for their untiring leadership. Other sweaters are awarded periodically for great achievement. Thosife: people wearing them around campus are special and should be congratulated.

Athletic Hall o f Fame The Montclair Kimberley Academy will proudly induct seven people into the new Athletic Hall of Fame on May 11. These individuals have brought “distinction, honor, and excellence” to Montclair Academy, The Kimberley School, Brookside School, and MKA in athletics. Some of them excelled at school, some in college or later in life, but they all achieved remarkable distinction in their chosen sport, and their lives reflect positively on MKA.

R ob ert T. C ottingham J r . ’8 4 , Fen cin g Bob Cottingham has achieved the ultimate goal of any athldfc: to compete in the Olympics. Bob has gone to two Olympics, Seoul in 1988 ;,and Barcelona in 1992, with the U.S. Fencing Team. He was U.S. National Sabre Champion in 1990. Bob began fencing at MKA, where he lettered in 'football, fencing, and lacrosse and was named to AllState in both fencing and lacrosse. At Columbia University, Bob lettered in fencing for four years and was first team All-Ivy and a four-time All-American and led the team to NCAA titles for two years as captain. At Columbia, he was awarded MVP, Distinguished Achievement Award, and the Charles M. Rolker Award for distinction (nominated by college deans and selected by the Class of 1988).. f

B etsy G elenitis A lison ’7 7 , Sailing Betsy is, perhaps, th#iif world’s best woman sailor. She has been named “Yachtswoman of the Year” four times by her peers, the only person so honored in either the women’s or men’l categories. Last year she won the Rolex International Women’s Keel Boat Championships for an unprecedented fourth time (1985, 1991, 1993, 1995). Betsy is a three-time U.S. Women’s Sailing Champion, a four-time national singlehanded champion, the Laser Singlehanded World Champion, 1982, and twice the U.S. Amateur Athlete in Yachting, among numerous titles and achievements.

Throughout college, Bob won a series of tournaments and national and international titles, including the Junior Pan-American Championships in Mexico City in 1986. He has been a member of the World Championship and U.S. National teams since 1986. Bob attended Rutgers University Law School with a U.S. Olympic Committee scholarship and is now a practicing lawyer. Last spring he married MKA classmate Alison Thomas. He is Director of Education at the Peter Westbrook Foundation in New York City, teaching children fencing and helping with legal work. Bob also helps coach the MKA sabre team and serves on the Alumni Council.

She competes as skipper or crew on just about every class of sailboat, nationally and internationally; in 1993 she won the Women’s Lightning North Americans. Sailing was not a school sport at MKA, Betsy notes, but longtime faculty members remember her speech class presentation of a model sailboat in the swimming pool! At Tufts University, she was captain of the women’s sailing team and won All-American honorable mention. She now works for Sobstad Sails in Rhode Island and teaches clinics for the Chilean and New Zealand Yachting federations and the U.S. Sailing Association as a Master Trainer, teaching instructors how to teach. Betsy was one of the world’s top ten sailors invited to a match in St. Petersburg, Fla., this winter.

H elen Jo n e s G ordon ’4 2 , E q u estrien n e In a sport with few championships or records to be met, Helen Jones Gordon has nonetheless made outstanding contributions. The equestrian world has long benefited f r o m R f expertise and dedication. She was the guiding hand behind the U.S. Equestrian ' Team before the Los Angeles Olympics, doing benefits

all oyer the country. After lengthy servicij on the USET Board of Directors, she is now a Life T ru sted Her latest project was the spring antiquesHpjjw in the USET stables and indoor arena.

C arm en M. M arnell, T each er, C oach and A thletic D irecto r More than two decades of Montclair Academy and MKA students and colleagues were touched by the leadership of Carmen Marnell, who coached from 1956 to 1983- Carmen inspired teams to championships and developed a comprehensive coeducation Jlath letic program that r a n k « among the best in the state. Carmen was the driving force behind the fencing tradition that took so many MKA athletes to the top.

A rider and a horse owner for most of her life, Helen showed hunters whilftat Kimberley and ran the Kimberley Horse Shopy her Ignior year. She also ran the Montclair Horse Show. After Bennett College, in her adult years, she flokhunted in various stateigiand Irljlllhd. She writes, “My association with horses has befen lifejmgi; I have known them in racing, hunting, jumping, .dressage, and driving as well as three-day eventing. Hhave derived a great deal of pleasure out of all these al|Qciations, so when the opportunity arose tcfi help the'fom erset Hills Handicapped R id ers* decided it was a perfect opportunity to give something back to theUport I have loved.”

He recalls, “We had many strong teams in football before group/state champions were named and several outstanding basketball teams that won small-group championships. The old Academy gym is remembered with particular fondness. One in-bound pass and one was in shooting position; from anywhere on court. It was not uncommon to have scores of 94-92....

Helen has been on the SHHR Board of Directors for fif# years, three as Presilgnt of the Board. She is leading their movrfto eleven acres and a new barn, which, she 'says, will be a high point in her equestrian life. Sean Jo n e s ’8 0 , Footb all

“The new gym and pool brought new challenges, but the steady supply of dedicated athletes continued our winning traditions.... Girls’ basketball, volleyball, field hockey, and lacrosse became as successful as the old MA programs.

football fans, who revel iau statistics, appreciate the accomplishments o*|H defensive end Sean Jones. Sean has played in the NFL for twelve seasons and last fall was only the eighth player to reach the 100 . quarterback-sacks milestone (he has 108). Sean, who played for the Los Angeles Raiders from 1984-87 and the Houston Oilers (1988-93), now g a y sa p r the Green Bay Packers. He hjffi not missed fitregular sealon game siff|§ the end of 1985.

‘f t was a great privilege to work with countless remarkable athletes and many fine teacher-coaches, the backbone Hi the athletic program. A unique feature of my tenure at MA and MKA was the development of many college athletes, several professional athletes, and an Olympic performer.”. After leaving MKA, Carmen became a head administrator at Wyoming Seminary, Pennsylvania, and now is Headmaster of The Albany Academy, New York. He says, “Teaching, coaching, and administering at MKA and Wyoming Seminary prepared me well, particularly in developing a sense of humor and a perspective for what is. lasting and important in a school.”

Sean, who was often on screen during the Packers’ road to the pi » o ffs this year (#96), has also logged four blocked field goals and three blocked PAT. This •jMr he recoveredjfa fumble for ¡¡¡touchdown. At MKA, Sean played lacrosse and basketball (“Dr. Dunk”), and was an All-State football player. The prophetic 1980 yearbook callew him “the ultimate defensive a i d .” He starred on the defensive line for Northeastern University and was the frumber one draft choice of the Raiders, iffll984.

M ary R ach ael H ayes M cD aniel ’8 2 , Fen cin g One of MKA’s fencing “greats,” Mary Rachael H y e s McDaniel has a long record o f achievement in high school, college, and international competition; she represented the U.S.A. abroad in some ten

International World Cup Tournaments. Twice she just missed the five-person U.S. Olympic Team (1988, 1992). Mary Rachael was a three-time World University Games team member and a three-time Olympic Festival participant.

Edw in Van B ru n t, C oach and A thletic D irecto r (posthumous) Ed Van Brunt served Montclair Academy from 1934-1970 as i||ach, Athletic: Director, Business Manager, and Alumni Director. He was so highly regarded that the Upper School field was named in his honor, not his memory, in 1969. Today’s Cougars - boys and girls play on Van Brunt Field.

At MKA, where she also ran cross country and track & field, Mary Rachael was women’s foil State Champion in 1981 and 1982. She was a member of the MKA team which won the State Championships in 1980, ’81, ’82 and the Santelli Tournament (’80 and ’81); she was co captain senior year. MKA twice presented her with the Klein Award for athletic achievement. At Temple University, Mary Rachael racked up many wins as a four-year varsity fencer, and still holds the season and career records for winning percentages: .938 (45-3) season; .848 (139-25) career.

“Red” or “Van” - as he was fondly known by students and colleagues, depending on early or late in his career - coached gpotball, basketball, baseball, and field even® in track. He himself was a four-letter man at East Orange High and played pro baseball for a while with the Boston Braves. He once pitched shut-out ball for eleven innings, then hit a home run in the eleventh to win the game 1-0. He also struck out Babe Ruth, Bob Meusel, and Lou Gehrig of the Yankees [“Murderer’s R ow llin an exhibition game.

Mary Rachael works, appropriately, as a physical therapist. She “retired” from fencing in 1992. S cott Schulte 'll W ater Polo In a sport dominated by youth and California, Scott Schulte has compiled an astonishing record: tw entyfo u r electio n s to First Team All-American in U.S. National Water Polo Championships; seven-time MVP at the Nationals; an eleven-time member of the East Team at U.S. Olympic Festivals. He has garnered more Olympic Festival medals (10 - seven silver and three bronze) than any other American. Scott, at 37, is still playing water polo, and led the New York Athletic Club to its fourth National Championship in-1995.

Van Brunt’s Academy baseball and football leams-pf the 1940s and 50s chalked up numerous titles and championships. In 1955 his teams had 20 straight baseball victories and 32 in a row in basketball; they won North Jersey Ivy League championships in both sports that year. The coach often spoke at assemblies about such topics as “School Spirit and Personal Responsibilities,” pointing out the necessity olSY discipline, loyalty, sportsmanship, and appreciation of personal rights. In the ultimate compliment to any faculty member, twcfi yearbooks were dedicated to Ed Van Brunt, in 1944 and 1970, and the Alumni Association named him an Honorary Alumnus. His retirement made The N ew York Times.

Scott was an integral part of MKA’s glory years in swimming and water polo: the MKA teams were State Champions 1974-77 and Eastern Champions in 1976-77. He was captain senior year. At Bucknell University, Scott set three school records in swimming, and in water polo is the all-time leading scorer in Bucknell history and the all-time leading NCAA scorer at national championships. Bucknell inducted him into their Hall of Fame in 1987. According to one article, “Schulte has accomplished everything in water polo except competing in the Olympic Games...[which] he was denied a shot at playing in 1980 because of the U.S. boycott.” Scott is a businessman in the investment field. An article for the New York Athletic Club states, “I can think of no athlete who exemplifies the ideal of an amateur athlete better than Scott Schulte, the fairhaired boy (in every sense) of NYAC water polo.’Flj 17

A lum ni H oliday G am es

The Alumni Association is beaming with pride over MKA’s designation as ijB lu e Ribbon School. WeHll should be proud of this accomplishment and what alumni have d o n S p contribute to the VTK A success.

Basketball A great tradition was revived this year with the Alumni vs. Varsity basketball game the Saturday before ¡¡Christmas. Thirteen alumni from various years came back to challenge the current team, had a great .time, and played to a close finish - Varsity 56, Alumni 55. John Rabke, who had coached many alumni as students, coached the Alumni. Current hoops coaches Kef Wilson and George Mixon were there for the students.

Our eighth annual Night With the Devils in ilnuary was so popular it sold out before Thanksgiving. Alumni, studen® familyBmd friends had a great time ;-Miiftching the Devils win! Career Day attracted new alumni speakers with varied and interesting careers. It was teriffic for these returning alumni to s jk faculty andgllassmate^at the reception..,I|you live nearby, please consider speaking next year.

The Alumni team: Josh Cain ’93, Anthony Barnes ’79, Brian D avil ’83, Mike Hnatow ’89, Josh Holtz ’88, Dennis McNeil ’95, Henry Nakamura ’88, Seiji Nakamura ’90, Mark Politan ’91, Carl Rabke ’90,'Kent Walker ’80, Andrew Wolf ’93, Bram Zeigler ’89.

'th e anji||tï Alumni Holiday GamM were a big hit; it was good the large turnout -- participants and fans of basketball and h<||key. The Council is reviewing outstanding candidates for the Distinguished Alumni Award and will annbunce the recipient shortly.

H ockey The sixteenth annual Alumni Hockey Game against Montclair High had a new twist this year: the Cougar hockey squad had to “borrow” a goalie from the rivaH team when projected goalifjjim Garino ’88 was delayed in flight and his hockey equipment didn’t arrivaat all.

Please ffi)6k carefully in this issue for the nominations for upcoming Council m e m liis and the slate of 199697 officers. We hope,tp'see you at our J| » n d Winetasting at the Van Vl|||p H ou® and Gardens on May 11th.

Temporary Cougar Scott Hershberg did a fine job, however, and the teams played to an exciting 6-4 finish, the larger Mountie squad prevailing. Alumni skaters were David Ames ’89, David Austin ’89, Peter Benedict ’92 (wh<||seored a hat trick), Chris Burchell ’92, captain Peter DeCandia ’89, Matt Fiore ’90, Jeff Glasser ’92, Bryan Lonsinger ’90, Mike Morris ’93, Dan Murphy ’89, Matt Seelig ’95.

Class Notes E d ito r s N o te W e use one “official” yearly mailing to obtain news, which appears in the FALL M KA Review. SPRIN G magazine Class Notes are taken from reunion, holiday, and phonathon news, newspaper clippings, 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 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 l4-to -16 week period! Please remember that you can send a note to your class secretary or to the Alumni Office anytime. W e keep ongoing files for each class. 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 jglnsider it.

1 9 2 2 Remembered Three members o f the Class o f 1922 were in touch with the Alumni Office recently. Dorothy Sexton Ritchie leads a wonderfully active life in Essex, Conn. She enjoys frequent theater trips to Manhattan, spends February in Boca Grande, Fla., and goes to Europe every summer. Dorothy has maintained a lifelong friendship with TKS classmate Elizabeth Jones Barry. Elizabeth lived in Rochester, N.Y. most o f her life, until 1989, when she moved in with Dorothy in Essex. Another strong Kimberley connection: Dorothy’s son is married to classmate Elizabeth Webb Baldwin’s daughter! Marianita Chaffin Ranger sent some information about her life and the years she spent at T K S in the early 1920s. Marianita was born in Cuba and raised on her father’s sugar plantation).“ All her primary schooling took place in a one-room schoolhouse that her father built. After moving to the New York area, Marianita enrolled at Kimberley

because Headmistress Waring was a close friend o f her aunt. She recalls Miss Waring taking care to encourage kindness toward a German-born faculty member during World War I. She also holds fond memories o f Dillard, the maintenance man. Marianita lives in Orleans, Mass. Bob Ward also provided recollections about Academy life in the early 1920s1, Bob was one o f many Newark residents to attend MA; they all rode the trolley together up Bloomfield Avenue. (Bob specifically recalled his decision to attend MA over Newark Academy; he determined that MA was better!) Bob found Claude Monson and William Miller to be great teachers and was pleased to know that Mr. Monson was recently honored as the prototype for the Founder’s Cup (the award for outstanding teaching).. Bob recalls) that Mr. MacVicar was ill during his last two years at MA and that his assistant, Mr.

Garrison, was the functiining Headmaster. He expressed pride that eight members o f the class went to Princeton. Retired for many years now, Bob remains an active Princeton alumnus. For decades, northern New Jersey benefited from his service on the boards o f both Overlook and St. Barnabas hospitals. The Wards live in a retirement community in the Princeton area., An alumni bulletin board in the Upper School featured the Class o f 1922 this fall. Faculty and current students could review gpurse catalogues, rules and regulations, class photos and other elementsl|f life at T K S and MA in 1922. The legendary MA-East Orange football game o f November 1921 was on display as well. A photograph showed the entire length o f the field’s west bank filled with spectators as the star running back, Harry Abbott, crossed the end zone in MA’s upset victory. P eter P erretti §|||g

Dr. Marsh, a psychiatrist, directed the State of Connecticut’s community health and child psychiatry programs for 25 years, ?and was chairman o f the task force which led to the founding o f the Connecticut Department of Children and Youth Serv i^ g M After graduating from the Academy, he majored in archaeology at Harvard and worked on sft|Bn Lebanon and Syria from 1936-41 before entering Yale Medical School. In 1988 Dt..’Marsh received thtfclifford W . Beers Award (Conn.) for his leadership in mental health services. He leaves the ultimate legacy: both children followed in his profession.

They also traveled, blgmore traditional means, I presume, to the West Coast. Iris Fox Flournoy fulfilled an overdue promise to yisit me this past summer. W e both have offspring who make movies: Iris’s daughter makes “arty” films and my son makes “non commercial” films. Both seem to do it'for love and at least part o f the profit.

Bill and Jo W att Clark have three o f their 15 (!) grandchildren in college. She says that

playing tennis in the National Senior Olympics was “a short course in humility.” Isn’t getting on that court an ego trip? Wow. She wants us to start planning our 60th reunion. Wally ||S|Bobbie Douglas MacMillan traveled to visit children in the Pacific Northwest. They plan to check out senioiyi; > residences in the South come spring. Richard and Harriet Palmer Pickens cruised last spring to the Panama Canal and celebrated their 50th with a trip to New Zealand, some fishing along the way. Hattie still plays tennis regularly. Tennis and golf keep Bill and Bobbie Kluge Deming activejBFhey visited friends in Salt Lake City and family in Connecticut, and were planning a tour around Colorado. She says being back in the States and retired gives them wanderlust. Being in Texas and closer to their daughter in Mexico made it possible to be in Queretaro for Christmas.

Helen Keenan Thatcher writes how very happy she B n her new home near Sarasota, particularly having so much music available. George and Marilyn Gates Crandell sent a beautiful card o f one o f Gatsie’s paintings. They took a motor home north to Minnesota and then took a barge trip on the “Great River Road” south to New Orleans. They will win a first (as far as I know) by becoming greatgrandparents later this.year. Selina Hird Taylor took her two grand daughters on a three-week tour o f the U.K. in August.
