In our last issue we presented the Board-approved Long Range Plan for Morgan Park Academy_ You mal' recall that one major area for effort was improvemem of our physical plant and grounds. With a number of weeks during the summer when there are no studems present we have an opportunity to concentrate in this area.
lllanks to the success of our recent Raffle, the efforts of the Mothers' and Fathers' Clubs, and the generous participation of parents and friends in our Annual Giving Fund campaign, we have been able to complete work on significant portions of our Long Range planning goals. A focus for major attention has been the gynmasium and surrounding outdoor areas. ll1e field at the northeast corner of the h')'T11 grounds has been graded and seeded , and a girls' softball diamond has been prepared . While additional seeding and fertiliz.1tion is stili necessary, the field will be ready for usc by our outstanding soliba ll team this sp ring. The soccer field has likewise been strip-seeded and fertilized and will provide a muchimproved playing surflce for the soccer team this fall . Continued work on dle varsi ty baseball diamo nd has resulted in a field second to none in our league. 2
Inside , the entire lower gym has been repainted, and work on rehabilitation of the bleachers should begin soon. As resources allow, we hope to install safer and more efficient lighting in the P.E. rooms on the second floor of the gymnasium. Special attention has been given to the campus grounds. ll1e central bowl area has been reseeded and fertilized . We have completed extensive weeding and trimming so
that Ollf campus now is as attractive as I have ever seen it. Finally, we have regraded and filled in the playground area with additional gravel , have remounted the stone stairs to
the three entryways in Alumni Hall , ancl have finished the necessary tlIckpointing at the front of the building. ll1e Library was singled out for
been placed in the Biology Labora tol}' and in o ne of lhe SiXlh grade classrooms. Within a few days we should receive 35 new classroom desks for the Upper School , including a supply of leli-handed desks to accommodate the "lefties" among us. Two other changes should also be noted . ll1e spirit duplicating machine in the Lower School has been replaced with a Minolta photocopy machine . (111is should mark the end of illegible, curled , smelly, purple worksheets which have been so common for several generations.) Finaliy, computers have been installed in our Business Office, and we have begun the process of computerization of the entire financial operation of that office . Needless to say, the Significant efforts outlined above have not kept us from giving the necessary attention to the academic program of our school at all gf'Jde levels. We are confident that with an outstanding faculty , a highly capable sludent body, and a strong and demanding curriculum , we will continue to
insure the excellence of the IOta I program offered by Morgan Park Academy. As is readily evident , all of this takes money. Tuition charges cover less than ninel}' percent of the monies needed for our total operation this year. It is imperative in 1986-87 that we continue to enjoy the generous support of parents, alumni , and friends in the Annual Giving Fund and special fund-raising efforts of the Academy.

You won't want to miss this elegant evening of celebration downtown at the Drake Hotel on Saturday, March 14, 1987. There will be something for everyone ... and more. . For the first time since the Academy's centennial celebration in 1973, parenl'i, alumni and friends will be invited to gather to salute the special brand of excellence Morgan Park Academy represents. Academy trustees, parents, alumni and faculty and staff have been working throughout the summer in preparation for what promises to be a truly delightful event. Proceeds from the "Salute to Excellence" will be used to support the annual fund, and the goal for this special event is S100,000. Unlike previous years, we will not be conducting multiple fundraising events sponsored by the various school organizations. We will instead be working together to ensure the success of what we hope will become an annual celebration. You will be receiving specific information and reservation forms in the next few weeks. Please be sure to make your reservations early because seating will be limited. And don't hesitate to invite your friends. In addition to cocktails and
dinner, a mini-auction is planned, and there will be dancing and entertainment. Selected alumni reunions are planned as well as special donors' dubs activities. We also plant to repeat our very successful S10,000 ratlle, complete with a tuition option for parents. The Planning Committee under the chairmanship of Dr. & Mrs. Raffy Hovanessian, has been working hard to produce a memorable evening of elegance, you just won't want to miss. In addition to Dr. & Mrs. Hovanessian, the committee is under the direction of co-chairmt"n Mr. & Mrs. Roger Us and Dr. & Mrs. Hugo Cuadros. Other committee members include Headmaster and Mrs. David Jones and Mrs. Winnie Theodore, Mrs. Colleen Panos, Dr. Hiram Broyles, Dr. & Mrs. David Ross, Mr. & Mrs. Ravinder Otopra, Mr. & Mrs. Davis Boyd, Mr. & Mrs. Edward Burke, Dr. & Mrs. Leon Witkowski, and Mr. Donald Macdonald '48. A truly delightful evening is planned, and we look forward to having you and your friends in attendance. It's a ~l'ecial way for you to support the Academy while enjoying an evening at the Drake. So mark your calendar now, and watch your mail for your opportunity to salute the excellence of Morgan Park Academy.
