Frotn the Headtnaster Computers Changing the Way of the Future

Under the capable direction of Dr. Larry Brown, computers were introduced at Morgan Park Academy almost two decades ago. Since that time, we have continued to expand, modify, and update our computer systems to take advantage of the opportunity to integrate technology into our total educational program. From just a handful of stations with relatively primitive hardware, we have progressed to over 100 stations linked together on an education network. Throughout these stages of development we have stressed the importance of student-oriented computer instruction and usage. In addition to our main Computer Center dedicated to word processing instruction and general class usage across all disciplines, we maintain two additional computer centers: one for the Lower lMiddle School students and one for the Upper School students. These centers have been supplemented by computer stations in the library, teacher offices, and selected classrooms. When classes resume in September several significant additions will become operative. Computers are being installed in each Lower School classroom in Barker Hall and in additional Middle School classrooms in Hansen Hall. We are also adding computer stations in the library for student use and additional computer stations in Upper School classrooms and offices. In addition to these changes directly related to the educational program, we will begin the development of a separate administrative computer network which will link the various school operations offices: Admission, Business, Development,

Lower IMiddle School, and Upper School. These changes will ensure the Academy's cutting edge status in the integration of technology and education. But computer systems depend heavily upon the human component, and the use of the hardware and software provided is limited by the knowledge of the personnel using these materials. Our teachers have been encouraged to expand their technical skills independently. We intend to continue to make funds available to our teachers for continous training, ensuring them the maximum advantage of the available hardware and

"From just a handful of stations with relatively primitive hardware, we have progressed to the point where we now have well over 100 stations linked together on an education network." software. An important step in this direction has been the addition to our staff of Mr. Dan Lichter, (Class of '91) as a Computer Coordinator. In this role, Dan will oversee the operation of our computer systems, and will provide individualized instruction for faculty members in computer usage. Dr. Brown's ground-breaking work, with the able assistance in recent years of Mr. Michael Wojtyla, has been significantly enhanced by the addition of the Computer Consultant, our new Upper School Principal, Dr. Michael Hannan, and Lower IMiddle

School Principal Mrs. Winnie Theodore, who has joined the ranks of the computer literate. All of these changes bode well for the future of technology at Morgan Park Academy. These advances embraces our firm commitment to the integration of technology and education made possible by the generous support of many parents, alumni, and friends. Over the past four years we have invested nearly $150,000 for the expansion and improvement of our computer systems. Our Long Range Plan challenges us with continuing this emphasis on technology. With your continued generous support this mandate can be realized, and MPA students will reap the benefits.

School N eltVs 1SL Basketball Champs Bob Love Addresses MPA Students Most people would easily recognize Chicago Bulls superstar #23 if they saw him on the streets. However, not as many would recognize another great ex-Bull superstar #7.

On February 14th, Morgan Park Academy students revelled at the opportunity to meet former Chicago Bull, Bob Love, when he spoke to the student body at the Beverly Art Center.

Before Michael Jordan dominated the National Basketball Association, Love was a major player in the league and starting forward of the Bulls for eight seasons from 1969-1976, during which he led the Bulls in scoring for seven years straight. He became a three time NBA All-Star. After Love's retirement, his speech impediment stopped his advancement in life and overshadowed his basketball career accomplishments. Love struggled to make a living and keep his dignity. In 1984, after a chain of unsuccessful jobs, he was hired as a busboy for Nordstrom's Department Stores in Seattle. Subsequently Love's life turned around, as he went through speech therapy and rose to become a Nordstrom's representative. Soon afterwards, Love returned to Chicago, becoming the Director of Community Relations for the Chicago Bull's Association. His job includes speaking to schools and businesses throughout Chicago and the United States.

It was the suggestion of Mrs. Lorraine Linnerud, wife of MPA science teacher, Mr. Mark Linnerud, that Bob Love's story be told at MPA. She heard him speak during United Way fundraiser and said he was "very inspirational", additionally noting that he had received a standing ovation. Mr. Linnerud, who passed on the idea to MPA faculty, believes students will get a message out of Love's life. "Love overcame some personal obstacles, and persevered when others wouldn't have," he remarked as though personally motivated. Mr. David Hibbs, English Department Chair, planned the assembly. "Bob Love's life after basketball was tough, despite a college degree," so I read. "I hoped a lot of messages came out of the assembly." Freshman Padma Siramdasu found his message effective. "He talked about how you can do anything if you put your mind to it. I think he got through to people." By Joe Morrow, MPA student

ISL Basketball League Champions Morgan Park Academy's Boys' Varsity Basketball team regular season record of 11-1 landed them their second consecutive ISL League title. Junior Jason Palagi cited the team's focus and concentration as a significant factor in their success. Coach Chuck Schroeder has made a major impact on the basketball program in this first season as head coach for the Warriors. He was chosen as the Independant School League Coach of the Year. Recent graduate and Lincoln College basketball hopeful, Michael Wilson, summed up Coach Schroeder's coaching attitude when he said, "A lot of coaches need to be more like Coach Schroeder." page 2

School N ew-s Teacher Appreciation Day & Drama Club performs "ER" Appreciating the Teachers "In an Oscar Ceremony of Sorts, Teachers Recognized For a Job Well Done" Envelope please. Drurnroll. And this year's Teacher of the Year Golden Apple award goes to Mr. Andrew Joseph. On March 23, Morgan Park Academy students had the opportunity to reverse the roles in the classroom and recognize their teachers for a job well done. In a short speech, students gave thanks to each faculty member for all of their dedication and hard work. Among these teachers were Mr. Andrew Joseph, elected by the Upper School students as Teacher of the Year. "I was very surprised. 1 didn't think that 1 really would be Teacher of the Year because 1 was a new teacher," Mr. Joseph remembers. Mr. Joseph, a graduate of Indiana University, teaches United States

History and Minority Literature at MFA, with elevated involvement in Upper School extra-curricular activities. This past year he aggressively served students as Girls' Volleyball head coach, Junior Varsity Boys' basketball coach, Co-ed Track coach, and advisor for the Model United Nations. Mr. Joseph is very enthusiastic about his teaching and has a reputation for provoking heated class discussions. "I had a few students who were resistant to me at first. They thought 1 was really cool and 1 wouldn't care if they goofed around. Now, 1 believe I've turned them around and they have become some of my best students," comments Joseph humbly. Mr. Joseph was not the only teacher recognized on this day. In fact, in the Upper School, all of the teachers were given special awards with a speech from various students. Lower and Middle School teachers enjoyed homemade baked goods made by

grateful Middle School students. Upper School English and Minority Literature teacher, Mrs. Jacqueline Crnkovich, thought this was the best Teacher Appreciation Day in her five years at Morgan Park Academy. "The lunch the student council provided was a thoughtful and enjoyable addition. What 1 was most struck by, though, was the quality of the speeches and deliveries by the students. They were well written and heartfelt - It made us feel good not only about teaching but about our students as well!" By Dorina Lazo '95

Drama Club Performs "ER" Morgan Park Academy's Drama Department performed the medical comedy / drama "ER" (Emergency Room) on May 5th and 6th at the Beverly Art Center. "ER", written in the early '80's by various Chicagoland doctors and playwrights, later became a half hour television program. MPA's adaptation traced a day in a Chicago hospital emergency room, where a team of doctors and nurses face the trying situations that occur in the course of an 8hour shift. Twenty-six MFA students portrayed both the serious and comedic plots with high energy. page 3

School N elVS Mothers' Club & New Grandparents' Program

Letter from the

Mothers' Club Welcome to a new school year at MPA! The Mothers' Club has already been busy planning events for the 1995-96 school year. The Adopt-A-Family Program began in August, designed for new families who become "adopted" by MPA parents and welcomed into the Academy family. This is a wonderful way to meet new parents and students and acquaint them with upcoming events. One of my favorite Mothers' Club "duties" is helping in the student bookstore. We are solely responsible for staffing the campus store with volunteers during each month. The bookstore is open each school day (except Wednesdays) from 11:30 am to 3:05 pm. This is a delightful way to meet the students. The store sells

books, school supplies, gym clothes and some school spirit items. Please consider joining us and volunteering your time one afternoon per month. This should not be a major time demand on your busy schedules, but looked upon as something important you can do to help your child and others. Several other special events to look forward to are the Joint Parent meeting on Wednesday, October 4th at 7:00 pm. Plan on enjoying some good company and refreshments while listening to a program of interest to all MPA parents. November brings our annual International Dinner served "pot luck" style. Each family brings an ethnic dish to share, creating a delicious array of foods from around the world. This night proves to be a double delight

with the Upper School Drama production held in the Beverly Art Center that same evening. Don't miss out! Mark your calendars. There are many more activities planned for the school year - these are only a sample of what the Mothers' Club provides for MPA's children and families. Finally, a tremendous thank you to our Board and club members for their tireless hours of volunteering to make these events look effortless. Remember, we couldn't have been a success without you, our volunteers! I'm looking forward to seeing you all! Karin Nelson-Rogers Mothers' Club President

New Grandparents' Program Developed I feel privileged to be Co-chair of Morgan Park Academy's new Grandparents' Program. I am proud to be Joe, Jon, Sheila, Susan, and Patrick Bertoletti's grandmother. I am also the proud grandparent of 15 other grandchildren. It is so satisfying to see how the children develop their interests and learning skills, and how their moral character is formed. Grandparenting is a very important part of raising the next generation of leaders. We can still be there for smoothing over small hurts and concerns. By example and experience, we can give comfort to our young people. The pride I feel in my grandchildren is overwhelming and I feel lucky to be able to enjoy all of their page 4

accomplishments. I encourage all MPA Grandparents to get involved with your grandchildren's school lives. The greatest gift of all is love, and your love can guide them into adulthood.

Dolores Delaney Co-Chairman Grandparent of Joe (class of '95), Jon (grade 12), Sheila (grade 10), Susan (grade 5), and Patrick (grade 5) Bertoletti

P.S. Don't miss this year's Grandparent/Parent Visitation on Wednesday, April 10th, 1996. If you would like to be on our mailing list please contact the Office of Development for further details at (312) 881-6728.

School N eW"s Fathers' Club & Special Events Letter from the

Fathers' Club With the beginning of the '95-'96 school year, the Fathers' Club would like to welcome everyone, and especially ask those new MPA Dads to come to our September meeting. We are always looking for new members and you may find it is a good way to familiarize yourself with the operations of MPA. There are several events coming up which will need your input and support. Our biggest event of the year is the Pancake Breakfast and Carnival, held on Homecoming Day, Saturday, October 7th. We are always looking for more dads to help with this project. Last year we helped the Development Office run the 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament at MPA. Those of us who participated, enjoyed the tournament and think that this has the makings of a great annual event. We were not able to go to a White Sox game last year because of the strike-altered schedule; however, we plan to resume this trip in the spring as in the past. Once again, we urge you to come to our first meeting. Meetings are held on the first Tuesday of each month. For more information please contact William Collins at (312) 238-8298. We welcome your participation.

William Collins Fathers' Club President

3-0n-3 Basketball Tournament & The Jesse White Tumblers

MPA's first 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament rocked the field house as alumni and friends poured in for the challenge on April 9, 1995. The Jesse White Tumblers shocked the audience with their high flying acrobatics during intermission. There were approximately 15 teams consisting of MPA students and friends in the tournament. The 3-on-3 Tournament was sponsored by the Fathers' Club and the Office of Development, with various local businesses donating prizes and awards to special event. Special thanks to alumnus John Easton '76 who designed and donated t-shirts for the players. Next year's event is scheduled for April. Mark your calendars and call the Office of Development a (312) 881-6719 for more information. page 5

School N eW"s Commencement 1995 On Saturday, June 10th, Morgan Park Academy conducted its 122nd Commencement Exercise. This year, Bart Conner, a Chicago native and a three-time Olympic Team member, addressed MPA's 1995 graduating class. Conner, one of America's leading gymnasts, is considered to be one of the top five gymnasts in the world. Conner has won numerous awards: Three-Time Olympic Team member: 1976, 1980, & 1984; Fourteen-Time NCAA All-American; Thirteen-Time Finalist at World Championship (U.S. Record); Three-Time Winner of the American Cup: 1976, 1981, & 1982 (U.S. Record); the only American gymnast (male or female) who has won gold medals at every level of gymnastic competition, national and

international; and the 1981 Nissan Award Winner (the Heisman Trophy of gymnastics). After Conner's last competition, his 1984 Olympic goldmedal performance, he officially retired from gymnastics in February, 1986. Conner now resides in Norman, Oklahoma with his fiancee, Nadia Comaneci, where he is currently under contract with ABC as a sports commentator. He is also the associate publisher of International Gymnast Magazine, the only internationally published magazine. Although Conner is retired, he still performs in gymnastic exhibitions around the world. Conner's enlightening speech was an inspiration to all who attended, but most of all to the graduating class of 1995.

Developtnent The Pathway Brick Campaign "Paving the Way to a Brighter Future" Names tell the story of Morgan Park Academy. Morgan. Abells. Jones. Mancini. Blake. Hansen. Barker. Beatty. Wolf. Names of people whose lives have left a legacy of excellence and generosity. People whose names are forever inscribed on Morgan Park Academy's beautiful campus. The names cause us to remember the people who have made Morgan Park Academy what it is today. Their lives have impacted Morgan Park Academy in ways that are private, quiet, unnoticed and in ways that are striking, dramatic, and public. Faculty, students, graduates, parents, benefactors, neighbors, and beloved community members have passed through this place and left their mark upon it. Now, through the Pathway Brick Campaign, your name can be added to the Morgan Park Academy story. When you contribute to the Pathway, a brick inscribed with your name will be set permanently in a pathway joining the walkway between Hansen Hall and Alumni Hall with the graduation steps in front of the Beverly Art Center, in the area which is frequently used during commencement ceremonies. The benefits are many. A name is immortalized, Morgan Park Academy is helped, and you join with others to enrich the campus in an historic way. The Pathway works this way. You give a gift of $100 or $110 (for a third line of inscription) to Morgan Park Academy. A 4" X 8" brick is attractively inscribed with your name(s) and positioned in the pathway. Through a special patented process, epoxy-filled lettering preserves your name(s) for generations to come. Located prominently at the northpage 8

em end of the campus, the Pathway will be seen by hundreds of campus visitors and students annually. Named bricks will be arranged according to the design provided by contracted landscapers. Eventually, hundreds of names of Morgan Park Academy graduates and friends will fill the Pathway; names of alumni who embody the Morgan Park Academy tradition; names of parents who made a Morgan Park Academy education possible; names of children who currently study at this campusthese are all names that create the Morgan Park Academy story. Pathway bricks will be arranged in gift date priority positions according to receipt of the donation, linking Jones Bowl with the Beverly Art Center. Proceeds from the Pathway gifts will directly benefit the Donald Mancini Library. The project will allow the school to renovate and expand the facilities of the library into the third floor of the Alumni Hall building, and will make it possible to

bring our library up to the technological standards demanded for educaMeeting these tional excellence. needs will place Morgan Park Academy in a position of institutional strength, poised to meet the challenges of the 21st century.

Developtnent Amazing Discovery Uncovered in Alumni Hall

The Artist and The Work Howard Church was born May 1st, 1904, in South Sioux City, Nebraska. While a member of the faculty of Morgan Park Military Academy in the 1930's, Mr. Church was commissioned by the Academy's Board of Trustees to create three murals for the Alumni Hall entrance way in 1933. The murals were thought to have been removed, and/or destroyed, during the transition from the military school. Recently, plaques honoring Morgan Park Military Academy Alumni who had served in World Wars I and II were removed for cleaning. We were amazed to find behind these plaques the three lost murals! Two scenes depicting various aspects of

Left mural military cadet life flank a central panel. In this panel, Academy graduates are represented passing from the foundation of their education at Morgan Park Military Academy toward their destiny beneath the welcoming arms of a female figure embodying Achievement and Success. In addition to the three newly discovered murals, Mr. Church was also commissioned to create three other

murals. Since local participation in the events and exhibits of the Century of Progress World's Fair of 1934 was encouraged, Howard Church was sponsored by the Academy to submit two murals to the fair. Two of these murals now adorn both sides of the stairwell of Alumni Hall, illustrating the lives of St. Francis and Sir Galahad.

By 1935, Howard Church had received his degree from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and was the Director of the Morgan Park School of Arts when he completed his final art work for Morgan Park Military Academy. The Canterbury Tales mural was originally displayed in the library of West Hall. This mural is now displayed in the dining area of Alumni Hall. (See story on page 9.) Howard Church went on to study at the University of Chicago with Chicago'S famed John Norton, creator of the statue of Demeter, which tops the Chicago Board of Trade Building. He received his Master's Degree at Ohio State University and then joined and later headed the Department of

Art faculty at Michigan State University. Before his death in 1993, he had presided over the Midwest College Art Association and oversaw and coordinated the construction of the Kresge Art Center on the Michigan State University campus. The recently discovered murals Howard Church painted as they now stand are in great need of restoration and conservation. Restoring these works to their proper condition will be a costly, but necessary endeavor. Only recently has their historical value been recognized as an important contribution to our understanding of the development of the w.P.A. style of mural art. The additional and

unexpected discovery of the three entrance way murals, together with the Chaucer, St. Francis and Sir Galahad murals, represent a significant body of work by a great artist that the Academy gratefully acknowledges. By Robert Langston, MPA Art Teacher

Developlllent Chaucer's Legend Lives On

The Canterbury Tales mural, which portrays Chaucer's characters gathered together on an English landscape, was the final work of art painted by Howard Church for MPMA. Probably the most complex and well executed of all six that he produced for the Academy's Board of Trustees, it was completed in 1935 to hang in the West Hall library in celebration of our literary heritage. Its history of display and the reasons for its present condition today are sketchy. The Canterbury Tales mural, as it now stands, has sustained numerous conditions detrimental to its preservation. When in 1991, Howard Church and his wife, Ila, returned to the Academy to view the murals, it became Mr. Church's intention to eventually restore the murals himself starting with the Canterbury Tales piece. Soon after, he became ill and passed away in 1993 before getting to work on the project. Mrs. Church began discussions with Headmaster Jones about fulfilling page 10

her husband's wishes concerning the preservation of his work. In September of 1994 the Academy hired art instructor, Robert Langston. Mr. Jones asked Mr. Langston if he would be interested in participating in exploring possibilities for restorative efforts on the murals. Upon seeing the murals for the first time, Mr. Langston immediately saw the historical importance not only for the Academy but for the art community as well. When considering the undertaking of a restoration project for the murals, the question arose as to what level of interest the MPA students would have in such an endeavor. Mr. Langston began introducing the Senior MPA art students to the concept of restoration, explaining the often ethical concerns of the conservator in terms of respecting and interpreting a deceased artist's wishes for his work through research and deriving maintenance and repair priorities within budgetary constraints. The Canterbury mural and the research that Mr. Langston has undertaken provide a perfect model for explaining

these concepts. In January of 1995, the Vanderpoel Gallery, located on the MPA's campus, allowed students to participate in conservation work on the Vanderpoel collection with a respected conservator, Rick Strilky. The mature and professional character of MPA students highly impressed Mr. Strilky and members of the Vanderpoel Gallery. Mr. Strilky was asked to assess the state of the murals and make a recommendation. He was receptive to the idea of allowing MPA students to monitor and survey any work he might be contracted to do on the murals as an instructional and educational component of the restoration project. As for the time being, however, the enormous cost of restoration as Mr. Strilky and other conservators have proposed, cannot be financed. Mr. Langston will continue to include the Canterbury Tales mural restoration as part of the curriculum with the MPA art students, and pursue the development in that area. Ultimately, Mr. Langston believes that student interest in this area is not solely due to the uniqueness of such a curriculum. The charm and connection to the legacy of the MPMA that are so well expressed by Howard Church's murals are what has attracted student interest in their preservation. In today's society and tomorrow's, we can see and foresee the increasing importance of being a part of and maintaining the sense of heritage that the physical body of the MPA campus represents. Restoration of the six murals with an added educational curriculum component will cost approximately $50,000. If you know any person or organization which might be interested in assisting us with the underwriting of this important historical and educational project, please contact Alana Mateling-Flatley at (312) 881-6728.

Al1l1ual Report 1994 - 1995 Purpose & Vision Statement, The Board of Trustees & Development Committee Morgan Park Academy's Purpose and Vision PURPOSE Morgan Park Academy (MPA) is an independent, coeducational, college-preparatory day school (K-12), dedicated to developing students who think critically and accurately, who communicate effectively, and who are able to act both independently and as team members. Moreover, it seeks to do so in an environment that stresses social and moral responsibility, acceptance of differences, and personal fulfillment of goals. In short MPA exists to develop young people into life-long learners and morally responsible citizens. VISION Morgan Park Academy seeks to be a moral, diverse, competitive, adequately financed, school community enrolling 500 students, wherein it can achieve its stated purpose. "Moral" means a school that stresses character development, respect for others, and high ideals that would be consistent across both secular and non-secular codes of behavior. "Diverse" means a faculty, an administration, and a Board of Trustees that reflect the student population. "Competitive" means, a school that enjoys both state-wide recognition among the general public and national recognition among colleges, a school that is fully enrolled (500 students) with competent, well-rounded students, a school that enjoys a waiting list for admission, and a school that can attract a highly competent, creative faculty. "Adequately financed" means that the Academy has a balanced budget; that it increases endowment to $3 million by the year 2000; and that it has an Office of Development which aggressively seeks out external funding for special projects, increased parent giving, and regular giving of major gifts. Finally, "community," means the entire community: students, parents, staff, teachers, administrators, and board members, functioning as a single entity to achieve a clearly defined culture. Additionally, MPA seeks to assume a cooperative and leadership role in the community at large.

Annual Report 1994 - 1995 Message From The Headmaster Dear Friends of Morgan Park Academy:

We began the 1994-95 school year on a very high note with the dedication of the Ross Widney Beatty Memorial Music Room in Barker Hall and the completion of major renovations throughout the rest of the Academy. These successful projects were achieved through the efforts of the Board of Trustees and the generosity of the Morgan Park Academy family. As a result, we were able to enhance many of the programs in the school as well as add areas of enrichment for the student body. In addition to the very significant student accomplishments presented elsewhere in this magazine, some of the accomplishments for the 1994-95 school year include: - ACADEMIC, CURRICULAR, AND EXTRA CURRICULAR Continued computerization of the Library Development of a Lower School Science Room Expansion of the Band and Music Programs School wide participation in an expanded International Day program Establishment of the first All School Art Exhibit Award winning performance by students in Math, Foreign Language, and Music Continued record of 100 percent college admission of graduating seniors -FACULTY, ADMINISTRATION, AND PARENT COMMUNICATION A new Upper School Principal and Development Director were employed Increased faculty participation in workshops, conferences Expansion of computer facilities throughout the school A special reception to honor major donors and increased recognition of all donors Establishment of the MPA Hall of Fame Successful Fashion Show and Salute to Excellence Initiation of the "Pathway" brick campaign Increased alumni involvement and activity Expanded participation in Grandparent/Parent visitation day - BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS New sidewalks on ll1th Street Resurfacing of 112th Street Improved campus and parking lot lighting Refinishing of gym floor and bleachers Repainting gym interior and other areas Establishment of a Mothers' Safety Patrol for 112th Street traffic control after school Continuing attention to outdoor athletic facilities and general campus beautification It is difficult to enumerate all of the many wonderful activities that take place throughout the school year.

Al ulDni N e-ws Captain Jean Landon Taylor... A MPMA-MPA Legend in Review (1902 - 1995)

It is with deep sorrow, we must announce that Jean Landon Taylor, affectionately known as "Cap" Taylor, recently passed away on July 27, 1995 from natural causes. The following is a biography of the late writer/editor of the RAN (Retired Academy News). Quotes in this story were taken in part from an article written about Jean Landon Taylor by Virginia Twohy, in the Palos Vedes Review, a local journal in southern California. We would like to thank Ms. Jane Taylor Armstrong, Captain Taylor's daughter, for providing us with the necessary information needed to write this for our readers. Capt. Taylor was a kind-hearted man which many of his former students reflected as being strict, witty, but most of all straight to the point. The pen or pencil point that is! Jean Landon Taylor was born in Marcellus, Michigan, on February 24, 1902, where his father was the superintendent of schools. At the very

early age of eight, he had already been an orphan for three years. His father's health failed in 1905. Shortly there after, Jean, his two brothers, and his mother came down with measles. The three Taylor boys survived the terrible disease; however, their mother soon passed away "from what they called 'consumption' in those days". The three sons soon separated. Jean's brother, Wendell, went to live with one of their uncles on Jean's mother's side and his oldest brother, Paul, feeling he was old enough, decided to be on his own. Jean, being the youngest, lived with his "Auntie Ella" in Benton Harbor, Michigan until 1918. Jean's first love was Lillian Freer, whom he would walk 30 miles one way to visit. Having a variety of parttime jobs to earn money, Jean left school his sophomore year of high school. At that time, he and his good

friend, Byron Calhoun, found jobs as bellhops in a nearby hotel. They decided they would travel to Kansas City, "as far as their money would take them," to visit with Taylor's minister uncle. "I got a job first with a music publishing company, and then near Christmas, when a streetcar strike started, I was hired as a conductor. I was all of 16," recalled Taylor. Jean's next travels lead him to Los Angeles where he then joined the Navy. He weighed less than the 128pound Naval requirement at that time so his diet soon consisted of huge quantities of bananas and milk. Being underage and underweight, Jean asked his brother, Paul, to sign permission to let him join the armed forces. Being stuffed with enough calcium and potassium, Jean was soon accepted. Jean spent two years in the Navy, "Much of that time in San Pedro, where five ships were anchored with the 1st Pacific Fleet. I did get to sea and visited Alaska, Hawaii, and South America, trips that strengthened my lifelong love for the sea and travel". Upon discharge, Jean contacted a reporter in San Francisco he had met while serving in the Navy as a yeoman in communications. "I walked the Embarcadero from one end to the other, checked the Marine Exchange Report, and listened to the tall tales of an old sea captain who had a shack with a big brass telescope on Land's End". Five years after receiving a "Dear Jean" letter from his first love, Lillian Freer, Jean married a former high school classmate, Thelma Vogt in 1923. Jean often credited his former wife, Thelma, for persuading him to return to school. He then went on to enroll at Western Teacher's College and earned his degree while working at the same time. Thelma was training student teachers at the University of Chicago. page 13

Al uInni N e-ws Captain Jean Landon Taylor... A MPMA-MPA Legend in Review (1902 - 1995)

The Great Depression made it very difficult for Jean to find a job once he graduated, so he took a position at Chrysler as an automobile body inspector while taking classes toward his master's degree from the University of Chicago. After a brief teaching job, Captain Jean Landon Taylor was offered the position as an English teacher at Morgan Park Military Academy in 1929. During the 16 years he served as the head of the English Department, Capt. Taylor was Faculty Advisor to the Academy News, founded and advised the Camera Club and advised the well-liked Cartoon Club. In addition, he volunteered to be the announcer of football games and assisted with the public relations of the Academy. The Taylor'S daughter, Jane, was born in 1933. Jean also completed his master's degree from Columbia University. In 1945, the Taylor family moved to Orange County in southern California where Jean took a job as a professor of page 14

journalism and photography at Compton City College for 22 years. Jean's numerous interest led him to receive various titles and awards over the years, including co-founder of the West Coast Division of the National Association of Journalism Directors and the California Journalism Association of Junior Colleges; member of the Phi Delta Kappa men's educational fraternity; Board of Director, Vice President, and President of the California Teachers Association, Southern Section; President of the California Retired Teachers Association, South Bay; Gold Key Award recipient from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association and the Scroll of Community from the California State Senate. In 1983, Morgan Park Academy honored Captain Taylor by announcing that an alumni scholarship award would be presented to an outstanding senior at Commencement each year. Very active in his retirement years, Capt. Taylor continued to write seven booklets and served many years as church parliamentarian and historian. Although his accomplishments have been vast, Capt. Taylor stated that his most cherished honor came from MPA most recently. On June 10, 1995, Captain Taylor was chosen as one of the first of six Charter Members to be inducted into Morgan Park Academy's newly established "Hall of Fame". The "Hall of Fame" honor was developed to recognize the outstanding achievements of Alumni and Friends of MPA. (see page 14) "Dad was just elated! It was the most recent award he received. We hung the plaque on the wall at his bedside at the nursing home for all of his friends, family and nursing staff to view. He was extremely proud," said Jane Armstrong. Although Captain Taylor may no longer be with us in body, he will

forever be remember at Morgan Park Academy. His dedication and loyalty to MPMA - MPA lives through the lives of the many cadets, students and friends his thoughts and words touched. At Ms. Armstrong's request, memorial gifts may be made in memory of Captain Taylor to the "Captain Jean Landon Taylor Scholarship Award" Fund, c/o Morgan Park Academy. This scholarship award is presented to an outstanding senior during Commencement based on scholarship, citizenship, and activities. Please make checks payable to Morgan Park Academy. Condolences may be sent to Ms. Jane Armstrong, 380 Cienaga Drive, Fullerton, California, 92635. Future correspondence to the RAN newsletter should be sent c/o Col.

Al ulllni N ew-s Estate Planning & Taps If Only We Had Known ... Morgan Park Academy received a bequest from the estate of an alumni we never had a chance to thank. Of course we appreciated the gift immensely. It revealed a gracious and generous person -- someone special. And the gift will certainly help us accomplish our mission. But we feel just a bit saddened we never had the opportunity to express our gratitude for such kindness. We were unable to let our benefactor know how much this gift would mean. If only we had known, we could have said, "Thank you." And so we encourage our friends to let us know when they include MPA in their estate plans. Not only can we express our appreciation, but we can make sure they are kept up to date with all the developments here at MPA. Have you named MPA in your estate plans? If so, please contact the Development Office at (312) 881-6728 to let us know. If not, perhaps you would let us send you a free but valuable brochure on gift or estate planning. It would be worth reading, whether or not you choose to make a future gift to MPA.

The entire Academy family expresses sympathy to the family and friends of those who have passed away since the last publication of this magazine.
