headmaster's notebook
Summer provides us an opportunity to complete major projects related to our buildings, grounds, and facilities. You've certainly heard of our new tennis courts and probably are aware of the new sidewalks, improved landscaping, gym painting, the new Pre-1st grade facility, and numerous other physical improvements which have been completed since June. But just as critical - perhaps even more so - to the continued excellence of our school are a number of changes, curricular and otherwise, which have been implemented within our academic program. They have received less publicity than the physical changes, but you should be aware of our ongoing efforts in this regard. In the Upper School, a formal Advanced Placement course in chemistry has been added with 10 students enrolled . This brings to 60 the total enrollment in our six Advanced Placement Course areas: English, Mathematics, Chemistry, U.S. History, Modern European History, and French. These classes will meet six periods per week instead of five to provide the additional class time necessary for the in-depth study required. In addition, a number of students will complete extra required coursework and sit for the AP Exams in Physics and Spanish.
last year's pilot program in 1V courses for college credit has been expanded , and we currently have 28 enrollments in the four course offerings: astronomy, geology, anthropology, and sociology. In addition , the number of Honors Sections has been increased and students are enrolled in 18 different Honors Sections in the various diSCiplines. All freshman and sophomores have been scheduled into Physical Education classes three days a week during the junior and senior years when additional time for academic during the Junior and Senior years when additional time for academic study becomes especially critical. Ninth and tenth grade students will have formal instruction in health including lessons in Physical Fitness and Personal Development, Nutrition, First Aid and Substance Abuse. We have also begun an elective program for seniors which enables them to choose from among twelve interest areas, one workshop during each of three marking periods. Among the electives included are: judo, weight training, aerobics, tennis, gymnastics, and a number of others - especially cross-country skiing which has also been incorporated into the regular P.E. curriculum. Through the entire school our computer instructional program has
been strengthened both by the addition of new hardware and by the incorporation of numerous software programs into the curriculum. Especially in the Lower Grades, skill development in specific subject areas will be emphasized as well as computer literacy. Our sixth grade classes have been completely departmentalized and more closely incorporated into the Middle School Program. This change will permit additional class time for work with study skills and more time for individualized, guided study time with their teachers. last spring all of our Lower School teachers participated in a Teachers' Workshop on the use of the relatively new Open Court Mathematics Program . This program is designed to insure mastery of basic skills along with an added emphasis upon understanding of math concepts. The emphasis is upon the thought processes involved in the study of mathematics rather than upon rote learning. Our enrollment as of today stands at 480 with an increase of 18 students in our Upper School and a second section of the Pre-1st grade. Within the next few weeks we expect to add four or five more students which will virtually fill all openings through eighth grade and leave space only for selected students in the Upper School. Our new faculty members have already demonstrated considerable skill in the classroom. With an active and dedicated Fathers' Club and Mothers' Club, an expanded Development Staff, several new Trustees, a strong student body, and a highly professional faculty and staff, we are looking forward to a most rewarding year.

board of trustees
Whether you're a parent, alumnus, student, faculty member, or a friend of MPA, if you vvere to visit the Academy today I'm sure you'd be extremely proud to be a part of the school family. With the completion of the nevv tennis courts, the landscape beautiful and green and "With tlovvers in bloom, the campus is radiant. To say, "the Academy is on a roll," is putting it mildly. Enrollment is at its highest level since 1981-82 school year. Our athletic teams are doing very vvelI. In fact , the varsity soccer team has vvon its first six games in a rovv. (I think maybe our soccer team is trying to match the girls' tennis and softball teams in "Winning their conferences last year.) For several years , the College Entrance Examination Board has listed MPA among the top schools in the state for the number of Advanced Placement Examinations
administered in relation to school size. ust fall, the Chicago Sun-Times published results of its survey vvhich ranked MPA as number tvvo in number of AP exams administered, and number one in percentage of Scores of 4 and 5 obtained among O1icago area schools. I guess that vvhat I am really trying to say is that the Academy has been able to achieve these results because of the tremendous support of alumni , students, parents, faculty and staff, and friends . I can assure you that the Board of Trustees is avvare of your efforts to support the school financially and othervvise , and vve are committed to vvork to preserve the excellence vve have come to expect at Morgan Park Academy. We thank you for your confidence. G. Davis Boyd President, Board of Trustees

"SRlute to Excellence '881" academy news ClIJss of '87 Gift The 1987 Senior Class presented Morgan Park Academy a pin oak tree and a memorial marker in memory of Henry W. Kennedy, who passed away this year. Mr. Kennedy, a member of the Academy Board of Trustees and a long-time resident of the Beverly community, was an avid Academy supporter. He especially enjoyed being with the Academy students. Whatever the activity, Mr. Kennedy was always a participant. Middle School dances, Key Club, bingo at the Washington and Jane Smith Home, drama club plays, "Salute to Excellence," basketball games, and whatever activities the Academy was sponsoring, he was ever present. A scholarship fund has been established at the school by Mr. Kennedy's family, his friends , and the Fannie May Candy Co. The award is to be presented each year to the eighth grade student whose record of service, courtesy and consideration of others best exemplifies the life of Mr. Kennedy.
Henry Kennedy
Planning has been underway since last Spring for this year's gala Salute to Excellence on March 5, 1988. This year the Academy family will gather at the elegant new Fairmont Hotel in downtown Chicago. If you were at the Drake in 1987, you'll discover an even more delightful event at the Fairmont in 1988. In the next few weeks, you will be receiving a personal invitation to join us at "Salute to Excellence '88." Please mark your calendar now and come join us as we pay tribute to the excellence of MPA. You definitely won't want to miss it.
Congressional Award Recipient Junior Elizabeth Crosby received a Congressional Award Bronze Medal for 1987 from Congressman Marty Russo at ceremonies held at St. Xavier College in May. The Congressional Award Program recognizes young people ages 14 through 23 who show initiative, excellence and achievement in voluntary public service and personal growth . The award is based on merit, not on competition, and it is the only award of its kind presented to youth by the Congress of the United States. Beth earned the bronze award by completing a total of 200 activity hours in voluntary public service, personal development, and physical fitness. Fulfilling the voluntary public service requirement, she tutored eighth graders in Spanish at MPA, and organized fund-raising events for the Service League of Hammond and the Ridge United Youth Group.
Beth Croshy
In addition to participating in last year's play "Fame," Beth took horseback-riding lessons as part of her personal development. She went on a skiing trip to Colorado and swam to complete the physical fitness requirement of the program.
ANNUAL CONTRIBUTION REPORT 1986-1987 This has been an outstanding year in terms of fund-raising at MPA. We have met or exceeded our goals in all categories, and the success of the 1986-87 effort has assured the Board of Trustees that we are keeping pace with the Long Range Plan. The year began with news that the Academy would be receiving a major gift from the estate of the late Joseph Ziegler, a client of an alumnus attorney. That bequest totaled just under $100,000. The year continued with the "Salute to Excellence '87" fund-raising event, which provided net income for our Annual Giving Fund of over $100,000. Finally, in early May we learned that Mrs. Dorothy Mancini of florida, would be making a gift to the school in memory of her late husband, Donald, MPMA '30. The bequest and the memorial gift have been invested and placed in endowments to strengthen the overall financial position of the School. In late spring, the Development Committee of the Board launched a

campaign to raise funds to construct four tennis courts to be ready for use by students in the fall. By midMay, one-half of the necessary funds had been pledge by trustees, parents, and the MPA Fathers' Club. Construction of the courts was supervised by Academy Trustee Roger lis and parent Eugene Wagner, and they are now in use by our tennis teams and physical education classes. Also in May, a very successful phonothon was conducted in an effort to reach alumni and former MPA parents. It is a delight to report successes in support for the Academy. At the very root of these successes is the underlying fact that there is tremendous support for the mission of the School among trustees, parents, alumni, and friends. In order for any institution to be successful in its fund-raising endeavors, there must be very high quality in the services the institution provides. There must also be good stewardship of the resources contributed, and there must be confidence on the part of donors. Without question, quality, good stewardship, and confidence exist at MPA.

parents Mothers' aub The new school year got off to an outstanding start with the Mothers' Club Opening Day Coffee. It was one of the most attended and informative coffees we've ever had. All of the "veteran" mothers were delighted to see so many new faces eager to learn more about this terrific new school they have selected for their children, and everyone was happy to meet the parents of their own children's classmates. In just a very short time, the roots of new friendships were started. Bravo to Anna Marie Brodsky and the Board members who worked very diligently to bring about this success. We were all pleased to notice that the school sparkled as it waited to receive the returning children. We toured the new tennis courts, the reception area recently decorated (compliments of the Mothers' Club) and the generally well scrubbed and polished buildings. The bookstore was heavily staffed by volunteers from the Mothers' Club, who were dispensing books and supplies to the children. Everyone seemed happy to return and face the challenge of the new year. The organization of the bookstore volunteers by Julie De Haan and Cindy Seaman was another big job that ran smoothly. Thanks goes to all of those mothers that joined us on opening day, many of whom agreed to serve one afternoon each month in the bookstore selling supplies to our children here at MPA.

We have so many things on our schedule for this coming year but don 't forget to circle your calendar for our second annual "Salute to Excellence" dinner dance, March 5, 1988.

114th Commencement upper school
"To say it is a great honor to be here today would be an understatement. Forty-seven years ago, my class sat where you young men and women are sitting today. We had the same opportunities to experience the same challenges and excitement and the same commitments to serve our country, our families and our fellow man as you have. Let's talk for a few minutes about commitment and how much it affects your lives and your success or failure. Your parents have made a commitment to educate you and to prepare you for the rest of your lives. Members of the Morgan Park Academy faculty made commitments to prepare young men and women for a future in this exciting, challenging and competitive world. Now it is your turn to accept the challenge you are so well prepared for and to make a commitment to give your best to whatever endeavor you choose for the future - your success or failure depends upon how you handle your commitments.
Richard L. Duchossois Morgan Park Military Academy Class of 1940 Your parents have been magnifi cent. They accepted the commitment to prepare you for the future , and I know you join me in saying thank you and congratulations. The faculty members of Morgan Park Academy have dedicated their lives to preparing young men and women to face the challenges of this great world. Yes, they are committed and they have met their commitments well, and I know you join me and your parents in saying thank you and congratulations. All of you are committed to excellence. I don't believe I have ever read more remarkable biographies for so many outstanding students, or heard of more achievements than each of you as individuals and collectively as a class have accomplished.
You have fulfilled a commitment to your parents and to your school and you have fulfilled it well. Just being here today and receiving your diplomas is proof of that. Your parents and the faculty join me in extending our congratulations to you. You now have the tools to build whatever type of life you choose. How you use them is entirely up to you. There is no concern in my mind that you young men and women will use them well. But I appreciate that along with your confidence, you have the same feelings my class had 47 years ago. You ask yourselves: Can I really do it? Will I let my parents and friends down? Will I let my school down? Will I let myself down? What is really out there in the future, and can I handle it? I know all of these concerns are on your mind, they have to be. They go through every intelligent person's mind. These thoughts stir up your adrenalin and become the challenges that drive you to fulfill the commitments you will make. Forty-three years ago today, a commitment was made by the free world. This is an ongoing commitment. My generation was there when that commitment was made, and now we need you to help us fulfill it, just as you will need the next generation to help you fulfill your commitments. Let us stop and ask what keeping a commitment really means. 10 simple terms: It is keeping promises and meeting obligations whether they are large or small. It means having or not having a reputation for keeping your word. It is an acquired habit. Whether or not you can handle your commitments will have a tremendous influence on your most important relations in life: at college, in a career, within your community, among your friends, and within your family. Keeping commitments clearly matters most to the people you make them to. Someone else may be planning a part of their life around you. They
are counting on you to come through. If you don't, it can cost them not only their time and money but even their reputation. They have made their commitments based on yours. Keeping a commitment also is having the good judgement and common sense not to over promise, not to say you can or will do what you can't or shouldn't do. The old expression of "Don't commit what you can't fulfill' is as old as the expression "Don't expect what you don't inspect." Commitments are a way of life. Your parents have made many sacrifices to fulfill their commitments to you. Now you have a commitment to yourselves, your parents, and your teachers to make the most of the opportunities they have given you. Going to college will give you the opportunity to test these skills and to develop the habits of making and meeting your commitments. For example: To do your best to warrant the money spent on your education by your parents or scholarship sponsor and to deserve the faith they have placed in you. To meet the new financial obligations you will acquire, whether by working to earn part of your education or handling the allowance provided to you by your family. To be a good roommate, dorm resident, or fraternity or sorority member. To meet the educational, social, or monetary obligations these relationships entail. Some of you may be working to pay all or a portion of your tuition and will be committed to your employers to be at work and put in a little more than the job requires. When you enter the workplace, your success will come in direct proportion to how well you have learned to fulfill your commitments. You may have thought life had been great up until now, but I promise you, you haven't seen anything yet. The excitement, the challenge and the opportunities that lie in
front of you are only limited by your imagination. You are most fortunate. You are better prepared to meet your new world than most people, because commitments were made to prepare you and these commitments were met. You now have the opportunity to get out in a rarefied atmosphere and do things that have never been done before, the things people say are impossible to do. 10 this atmosphere, your competition will be less because very few people will accept the challenges and the risks, or be willing to make the commitment to excellence. I, like others, look for the situations where there is less competition but where the competition is the best. It stimulates you to heights which even you question if you can reach. If you are committed, you can go the extra mile to insure success. Few people will do this, but it is the difference between great success and mediocrity. In the competitive world you are now entering, there are but a handful of people who are willing to take the risks and meet the commitments. The choice is yours. My class served in World War II and that class was outstanding. They met their obligations and fulfilled their commitments. I am sure your Class of 1987 will far exceed ours in everything you do. Without a shred of doubt, we can say that your class will meet the challenges of the future and leave its mark on .this great world we live in because commitments were made for you and these commitments were fulfilled. Congratulations, God bless and Godspeed. The best is yet to come." R.L. Duchossois
