Academy Magazine - Fall 1988 by Morgan Park Academy

,...----HEAdMASTER'S NOTEbook The opening of each new school year is always an exciting time, and this year has been no exception. It was good to see our returning students again, to welcome a fresh group of enthusiastic youngsters into the pre-first grade, and to have a large number of young people join our student body,'especially in the freshmen class. We are also pleased with the teachers who have joined our faculty this fall. They represent the best of their profession: bright, well-educated, mostly experienced, and above all else, dedicated to the education of the young men and women in their classrooms. They bring with them an eagerness and enthusiasm which is certain to inspire our students.. and we're looking forward to a strong academic year. Already we have learned that two of our seniors, Aras Lapinskas and Sushrut Waikar, have been named as National Merit Semi-Finalists, continuing the outstanding record the Academy has achieved over the years in this competition. And, just today, I received notice that Aras Lapinskas has been selected as one of the Finalists for the Museum of Science and Industry's 1988 Outstanding Young Scientist Award. I am certain these are only the beginning of a series of individual honors which will be accorded our students throughout the year. Despite the record heat (which finally forced us to install air conditioners in a few offices) we have taken significant steps to upgrade our physical plant and grounds. New lighting fixtures have been installed in many of the ' Hansen Hall classrooms, and our electrical service has been improved to meet the expanded demand of computers, 1Vs, VCRs, and all the other technology which has come upon the educational scene in the last few years. A new scoreboard has been installed in the gym, and overhead fans installed in the library. Two science labs now have additional storage cabinets, and a number of classrooms and offices have been recarpeted. Some new desks and chairs have replaced many of the weary old ones, and we' have expanded the VCR capacity into more classrooms in Hansen Hall. The seniors are especially pleased with the new full-length lockers which have been provided for their use. More important have been the changes in our curriculum and program to include the option of Spanish in Grades 3 and 4, the addition of an Upper School Course in Asian History, a new focus on Environmental Studies in grade 6, and an Advanced Placement biology course for sophomores. Our AP Program continues to grow with 70 students enrolled in a total of 116 AP courses. This reflects record enrollment in AP courses in every discipline. Once again, as we begin a new school year, we look to o~r parents, alumni and friends for the continuing support - financial and otherwise - which is so vital to the health and well-being of our school. Only through the cooperation and assistance of all of the members of our growing school family can we maintain the level of excellence which has distinguished Morgan Park Academy over the years.

t was no ordinary reunion. The first weekend in June was an extraordinary reunion of the Class of '48. With the help of the Alumni Office, Butch McGuire and Bob Nightingale organized a three-day reunion weekend bringing their classmates and cohorts from the classes of '47, '48 and '49 back to their alma mater. "Sure, it took a few hours of work, but it certainly gave me a warm feeling when I saw all those happy faces from every corner of the country meet Saturday at the Academy, " said Nightingale.

Btulrd President Thanks to the efforts of the Academy's many friends and supporters, we have achieved almost all of the goals of the Academy's five-year, Long Range Plan in just three years. The board of trustees has re-activated the Long Range Planning Committee under Chairman, "Win" Irwin, and his committee has been working very hard gathering input from all sources - alumni, teachers, parents and students. Following many hours of meetings and hard work, the committee has prepared a draft copy of a new Long Range Plan to present to the board at its September meeting. With a new Long Range Plan in place we are hoping to carry the Academy into the 21st century as a strong, healthy school re-dedicated to excellence in education. We have specified endowments as an area that will require concentrated effort to achieve our goals in the coming years. You will hear more as the plan is finalized .

With the fall season upon us, the school grounds are especially beautiful. This is the perfect time of year to visit the Academy. Come and see a soccer or volleyball game or a tennis match on the new tennis courts, and please join us for Homecoming on October 15th. Plan to attend the Fathers' Club Pancake Breakfast that morning, it is always a highlight of the new school year. We're looking forward to another prosperous year at the Academy, and we hope that each of you will join us in making the Academy the best it can be.

Sincerely, G. Davis Boyd President, Board of Trustees

Thanks to the generous bequest of the late Alice Hogge Baer, Morgan Park Academy's Endowment Fund will exceed $1 ,000,000 for the first time in the 115-year history of the school. A long-time friend and supporter of the Academy, Mrs. Baer willed more than $500,000 to the Endowment Fund. Her gift comes just one year after the generous contribution of Mrs. Dorothy Mancini in honor of her late husband Donald (MPMA '31). While a strong endowment fund provides for a solid future , earnings from these funds work to meet the current operating needs of the school and help to keep tuition costs down. TIle Academy trustees have made the enlargement of the Endowment Fund a top priority in the coming months and years. We encourage you to consider a gift to the Academy's Endowment Fund . Such gifts are fully taxdeductible and represent a powerful, permanent means to memorialize loved ones. There is no finer investment than that which ensures the continuation of quality education for our children, and in the end , that is th<:; ultimate benefit our Endowment Fund provides.

FOR THE FUTURE.

Students Learn About Aids During Assembly/ Workshop Academy students in grades seven through twelve participated in an assembly and workshop last semester called "AIDS: Learn For Your life." The three-part learning process began with introductory statements by a panel of experts. Panel members included: Dr. Prabodh Shah, an Academy parent who works directly with AIDS patients; Dr. Arturo Chavarria, also an Academy parent with medical expertise on the subject; Mr. Larry Hallock, Director of the Education Department at Howard Brown Memorial Clinic; and Mr. Tom Baldaccini, a volunteer at Howard Brown Memorial Clinic. The students then divided into seminar workshops to view the video tape, "AIDS: Learn For Your Ilfe," and to identify their own concerns and questions. The final segment of the assembly included a panel discussion by the visiting professionals and a question and answer session. Prior to the assembly, Academy students, faculty and staff received a booklet entitled, "AIDS and the Education of Our Children, A Guide for Parents and Teachers," published by the United States Department of Education. A list of reference materials available in the school library also was given to assembly participants. "Education on AIDS will be an on-going process at the Academy," said Headmaster David A. Jones. Students will continue to explore the medical and social aspects of AIDS in biology and health courses.

Fathers' Club

Here we go again! The summer is over and it is time for the students to hit the books and for the parents and friends of the Academy to do everything we can to make this learning experience as pleasant and rewarding as possible. Through our efforts we can make this happen. Support the Mothers' Club and Fathers' Club and "Salute to Excellence '89." Get involved both financially and by donating your time. The work is hard, but we have a good time doing it. You will make friends here - some lasting a lifetime. Our upcoming event will be the Pancake Breakfast which starts off Homecoming weekend on October 15th. Breakfast will be served from 8:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. and will consist of pan-

cakes, sausage, juice, coffee and milk. The breakfast is free to MPA families and alumni. The charge for others is $3.00 for adults and $2.00 for senior citizens and children. If you would like to have extra sausage, the charge is 50 cents. Now, I would like to make an appeal for the Fathers' Club. Please come and join us at our monthly meetings. They are held in Alumni Hall on the first Wednesday of the month at 7:30 p.m. and usually last until 9:00 p.m. We welcome your ideas. Refreshments are served following the meeting, giving us time to socialize. Please help support the Fathers' Club. Our only means of support is our yearly dues of $20.00. The money is used for our children. Please join us in our effort to make MPA the best that we can. With all of us working toward a common goal, we cannot fail. Sincerely,

Jerry Hennelly President

Mothers' Club â&#x20AC;˘

Welcome back to a new school year at the Academy! Members of the Mothers' Club have been busy this summer. During the heat of August (wasn't it awful!), the Mothers' Club board met and discussed the calendar for the upcoming year. We have some interesting activities planned for both students and parents, and there is room for participation from everyone. Also during August, many Mothers' Club members took part in the Adopt-a-Parent Program, in which parents who have been at the Academy are matched with new parents so they may "show them the ropes" and offer practical advice. I have taken part in this program several times and have always enjoyed meeting the new parents and students. If you have time next year to make a few phone calls, plan to volunteer; I know you will find it an enjoyable experience. One of my favorite Mothers' Club activities is the Opening Day Coffee. This year linda ~uadros, linda Chavarria and Marlene Mesleh outdid themselves in providing coffee and "goodies" for the parents. This was also the time for us to renew our friendships with Academy parents from past' years and to get acquainted with new parents. (continued on page 15)

(continued from page 14)

As some of us finished our coffee, many mothers walked across the campus to the bookstore. During the first two days of school, the students picked up their books and supplies at the Campus store. During the rest of the sch001 year, the store is open from 11:30 a.m. to 3:05 p.m. for students to purchase additional school supplies. Parents may volunteer one day each month during the year. Working at the bookstore has given me the opportunity to meet many of the students who were in my children's classes and to catch up on my knitting. During the first week in October, the Mothers' Club and Fathers' Club hold a joint meeting for all Academy parents. Since it's an evening function, I hope all of you will be able to attend to socialize with other Academy parents and to hear an interesting and informative speaker. Please mark your calendar for November 5, 1988, when we will sponsor an International Dinner. This is a "pot luck" dinner for adults only. We each prepare a dish from our native country, the country where our ancestors were born, or a recipe which we particularly love. There will also be a display of crafts, books, posters, etc. from various parts of the world. I've always found this dinner to be a taste adventure. I am counting on seeing many of you during the rest of the school year. There are many things we can accomplish together!

Space Camp: Out of this World!

Elham Abdishi

Summer break was out of this world for eighth grader Elham Abdishi, who attended Space Camp at the Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama. "Since fourth or fifth grade, I've wanted to be an astronaut when I grow up," said Abdishi. "I think it would be a great experience to travel into space." Over 3.00 students throughout the United States ~ttended the one-week camp which was highlighted by spacesimulated equipment and experiments. A typical day at Space Camp included exercising before breakfast, making model rockets, touring laboratories, using simulators, researching a favorite astronaut and listening to lectures fro,m people working in the space field .

Thanks

"My favorite part of the camp was 'The Mission'," said the young space enthu路siast. The students were divided into teams of 12, and each team was assigned a space mission to be performed at the end of the week. Six students assumed positions in mission control and six students assumed shuttle positions. Abdishi served as the Payload Specialist II, who sits mid-deck and is in charge of turning on telescopes, landing gear, and other shuttle equipment. "The mission seemed pretty real. The shuttle shook and the engines sounded at take off, and once we were in orbit, we had to solve two malfunctions. First, our solid rocket booster wouldn't separate, so we had to do it manually, and secondly, we decided to tum off the fuel cell that wasn't working. Some of the shuttle crew performed experiements and lab reports, and then we descended for landing," recalled Abdishi. Finally, the Space Camp participants were subjected to space food. Although she admits it wasn't the best chicken stew and ice cream she has ever tasted, Elham hopes to attend Space Camp again next summer.

Foreign Language Exchange Program Comes Full Circle MPA Students Spend Two Weeks in France "I received numerous compliments on our students' ability to speak and understand French," said Suzanne Cappozzo, Upper School Foreign language Department Chairperson and chaperone of 14 MPA students who traveled to France this summer, completing the first circle of the foreign language exchange program. From June 7 - 12, MPA Upper School students Joy Cobbs, Rachel Cuadros, Mike Gersack, Malini Goel, Sarah Johnson, Gladys Lee, Mark McFarland, Melanie McFarland, Nik Raj, Jason Robinson, Ruth Ross, Kathy Sales, Chuck Seddon, and Sue Ugarte, immersed themselves in the sights and sounds of France.

Although ft was sadfor the exchange students to witness the "French Connection" come full drcle, many of them are continuing cOtTespondence with their host families and hope to visit again in the future.

"Everywhere we went - on trains, buses, in stores - Jason, made friends with people" admitted one of his fellow-travelers.

a Responsible Option

The exchange students from Spain sp ent their f irst day at the Academy with their MPAhosts.

Once again, Academy families opened up their homes and their hearts for a true crosscultural learning experience. According to both the exchange students and their MPA hosts, a significant element of the exchange process was the time spent with the host families. Once again, Academy families

opened up their homes and their hearts for a true cross-cultural serious political discussions to tasting new and unusual foods, all of those who participated in the exchange came away from the experience with a better knowledge and understanding of the other culture - and hopefully, many fond memories. MPA students will travel to Alicante, Spain in March to complete the exchange and experience first-hand the language and lifestyle of their Spanish counterparts.

Welcome Freshmen and New Students

Upper School students taking independent study television courses are learning a lesson in discipline and responsiblity. The Independent Study Program, administered by Upper School Dean of Faculty Robert Stelton, not only augments our curriculum, but also provides students the option of taking courses for college credit. In order to receive transferable credit at the college level, students must pay tuition at one of the City Colleges of Chicago. The students watch courses telecast by the City Colleges of Chicago on Channel 20 and meet with Mr. Stelton one period each week to review any technical problems, locate additional course materials and for testing. Conforming to the policies of the City Colleges of Chicago, students take one test per marking period and a final exam, which together comprise 90 percent of their grade. A research paper accounts for the remaining 10 percent. The most popular courses taken by MPA students are in the natural and social sciences, such as geology, astronomy, cultural anthropology, introduction to psychology, developmental psychology, Chinese history and Asian history. Approximately 15 students are enrolled in Independent Study courses this fall. "Television courses offer a vast array of curricular opportunities for students/' said Stelton. "It is excellent preparation for college in that students must develope a sense of responsibility or face the consequences for irresponsib li ty. "

Fall sports Outlook Back to school not only means time to hit the books, but to many of our athletes it's time to hit the ball. Members of the soccer, tennis and volleyball teams were on campus days before school started to sharpen their skills and prepare for the fall season. Soccer coach Jim Kowalsky has high hopes for his team, one being to carry over the momentum and optimism of last year's victorious (9-5) season. "We'd like to beat lake Forest Academy and Mt. Carmel, two teams we have never beaten in soccer," said Kowalsky. Other objectives for the Warriors include winning 10 games this year and winning the first-round game of the state tournament. Hoping to make the most of their "home court advantage" the girls varsity and junior varsity tennis teams opened the season against Seaton Academy on

September 2. Varsity coach Mike Wojtyla's number one goal is for the team to top last year's third place finish. "I also hope to see the sophomores playing their first year on varsity emerge as talented tennis players," said Wojtyla. Junior varsity tennis coach Suzanne Cappozzo believes the team will give younger and less experienced players the opportunity to learn and compete. The varsity volleyball team opened their season against latin on September 2nd under the direction of new faculty member and coach Sylvie Bouvier. "The team is very enthusiastic about the game," said Bouvier. "This season, 1 would like each team member to understand their role on the team and set individual goals, and through this we can come together as a team and set team goals."

Reunion -goers traveled from California, Arizona, Montana, Ohio, Florida and Maine, as well as parts of Michigan, Indiana and lllinois to celebrate with their schoolmates, whom some of them had not seen for 40 years. The festivities began Friday night with a Cocktail Party at Butch McGuire's Restaurant in downtown Chicago, continued into Saturday with an afternoon Reunion Barbecue at the Academy followed by the Annual Reunion Dinner, and finished with brunch at McGuire's Sunday morning. "A lot of friends made new friends," said McGuire. "It was a good idea to invite the classes of '47 and '49, because we were all very close in the days that the Academy was a boarding school." "It was a very rewarding reunion," he added. The reminiscing, laughing over old yearbook photographs, and listening to music from the 40's and 50's culminated in a rendition of a close order drill on Jones Bowl Saturday afternoon.

Wanted: Pen Palsfor Middle Sehool Struienls last year the students in the Builders Program, a Middle School offshoot of the Upper School's Key Club, expressed a serious interest in the history of the school and its alumni. A penpal letter exchange between the students and alumni was initiated late in the year. The students appreciated the terrific response and would like to reinstate the pen-pal program, so there is time for more correspondence this year. The Builders Program's interest in the past culminated on MPMA-MPA History Day in May. Mr. Kenneth Saul '42 visited the

Academy and spoke to the students about a typical day in the life of a Morgan Park Military Academy cadet. The students identified with the long hours of studying Mr. Saul and his classmates were accustomed to, and were astonished by his tales of eating a square meal and polishing all those brass buttons. Any alumnus interested in participating in the letter exchange program with a Middle School student, regardless of your year of graduation, please indicate this on the WE'D LIKE TO HEAR FROM YOU! insert and return it to the Alumni Office.
