Welcome

I peered over at Lou Gnerre during the celebration in his honor at Reunion 2011 in early June (see page 26). Stoic and composed, he seemed to soak it all in with reluctance. All the support he gave to teachers, students, and peers—wasn’t that what you were supposed to do if you worked at a school? I imagined what he was thinking as former faculty, students, and old friends peppered the festive air with both laughinducing tidbits and tear-jerking testimonials. There stood a man who began working at New Hampton School in 1957 for meager pay and never wanted more than the opportunity to do good work with teenagers. As Lou is accustomed to saying, he was destined for dental school, but he took a detour at New Hampton School.

Lou’s celebration got me thinking. It was a classic example of the delayed satisfaction that only teachers can truly appreciate. With students as the molding matter, teachers don’t realize the effect they have had on a kid until years later, when former students come back and say thank you. Those moments make the career so rewarding — albeit years later.

Some folks have known from the beginning that they wanted to work at schools while others find their calling and passion in the way Lou did—by accident.

So I asked New Hampton faculty—those determined souls who embrace teaching,

coaching, advising, and dorm duty—why they have taken their path to work at a school, and not only a school, but a boarding school.

Sara Tyson, a teacher in the Science Department and Academic Support Program shares: “Adolescence is such an exciting and sometimes challenging time in our lives. My teachers made such a difference for me in high school.

Working at New Hampton is a way that I give back what was so freely given to me.”

faculty, notes: “I returned to New Hampton School to teach because I want students to experience the kind of connection I had with my teachers when I was a student. A boarding school provides more than just an education in the classroom. We are learning in the dorm, on the fields, learning lifelong skills, and building relationships with students and adults from around the world.”

When I tell people I sit next to on airplanes that in addition to my duties as Director of Communications, I am a dorm parent, they immediately begin to look at me as if I have battled an eye-closing food allergy for most of my life. They are perplexed. They struggle to understand why I

I wanted to participate in that life experience for others.”

Arts Teacher Johnny Buck has been able to help students get out of their comfort zones: “I love teaching at New Hampton School because this is a place where students and faculty work together to find new ways to explore and create. I have been able to teach a unique class called Environmental Art that has allowed students who normally feel like they are not creative in other art classes to experience art in a more natural and unconventional way.”

It takes neither a special person nor a deranged one—just an enigmatic one with patience, persistence, and an understanding of the vagaries of the boarding school world.

These characteristics sound like Lou Gnerre, a model we can all feel good chasing. Q Will McCulloch Editor, Hamptonia Director of Communications

Heads Up

elson Henderson said, “The true meaning of life is to plant trees, under whose shade you do not expect to sit.” In a challenging, chaotic, and increasingly turbulent world, this ethic of service and stewardship is critical to ensure future opportunities for our students and the long-term health of our planet.

Our current mission, refined during this summer’s strategic planning process, focuses our collective resources on developing “lifelong learners who will serve as active global citizens.” Service is key to our mission, and evidenced by the alumni profiled in the pages that follow, resonates deeply with New Hampton School graduates.

As chronicled in previous Hamptonias, evolution has been our watchword. And yet in this time of extraordinary growth, equal attention has been paid to retain the historical underpinnings of the New Hampton School experience. Service has been an essential philosophical tenet here in central New Hampshire for nearly two centuries.

Last May, Alicia Burrows ’00 (page 30) enthusiastically endorsed active citizenship as our keynote commencement speaker. In her crisp Army blues, Captain Burrows stood beneath the Meservey elms and recalled numbing details of 9/11, an ensuing midnight flight to Baghdad, and the way in which New Hampton School prepared her to actively lead and selflessly serve. She spoke of relationships, seizing opportunities, and looking beyond immediate and self-centered needs to future opportunities. She is without question, a shining example of what it means to serve—her country, her community, and now her school as a newly elected member of the Board of Trustees.

This summer Jason Pilalas ’58, current trustee, recalled how the legendary former faculty member David Rice and headmaster emeritus T.H. Moore ’38 (page 34) inspired him to serve his country, resulting in a distinguished naval career. He stressed that his time on campus

imbued a passion for community involvement that has led to a lifetime of service to countless organizations, including his favorite—New Hampton School! We spoke about stewardship and service, longstanding commitment, caring for one’s community, and building for the next generation. Jason’s passion for service is only eclipsed by his generosity of spirit, modeling Winston Churchill’s adage, “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.”

Service must be a ubiquitous and fundamental component of any healthy educational setting. Fortunately, independent school communities are intensive service incubators as they bring together idealistic adults and eager adolescents in a deliberate environment that engenders motivation and generative action. Here on campus, we teach service with intention. Service Saturdays feature students and faculty working for the public good, assisting at soup kitchens, shelters, and senior living facilities, as well as more pedestrian, but no less important, tasks of stacking wood, raking leaves, and shoveling snow for our campus neighbors. Seniors must complete a leadership program, which includes thirty hours of service to their communities prior to graduation. Remarkable projects such as teaching in India, working in Chinese orphanages, scouting endangered species in Costa Rica, and participating in Habitat for Humanity in Florida have been undertaken in the last few years. International Baccalaureate diploma candidates must complete fifty hours as part of the Community/Action/Service (cas) requirement. cas projects this year include fundraising for Free the Children, collecting books for the Orphanage Literacy Project, and initiating the first nhs Walk for Hunger, which will benefit two local food pantries.

For years, New Hampton School has embraced The National Association of Independent Schools’ recent mantra of “the public purpose of private schools.” As ambitious as our mission may be, preparing students to “serve as active global citizens,” it is what drives us here on campus each and every day. There is no better place and no more important time for our current students to follow in the footsteps of so many inspiring alumni who have dedicated their lives to others, planting trees under whose shade they will not sit. They are stewards in the truest sense of the word. Q

In Brief Scott reflected on his time as one of the trailblazing African American Air Traffic Controllers.

“People have often said It’s a stressful job, but I always say it’s more stressful being Black in America than it is being an air traffic controller,” Scott said. Q

Bill Scott ’64

bill scott ’64 ends historic career On April 1, 2011, The Atlanta Daily World recognized the legacy of the career of Bill Scott ’64, a New Hampton graduate who paved the way for so many others in his field. The story begins: W. A. “Rip” Scott IV backed away from his radar screen on March 31, ending a nearly 40-year career as an Air Traffic Controller for the United States Federal Aviation Administration.

Scott, who worked his entire career at the Hampton, Georgia, regional facility, was praised by his colleagues.

“It won’t be the same without Rip,” said Darryl Dudley, who has worked with Scott since 1987. “As one of the first AfricanAmerican controllers, he helped pave the way for all of us.” Dudley added, “He trained me on my first four radar positions.

He’s been a mainstay around here. We’re going to miss him.”

4

A

Scott began his career as an atc on August 16, 1971, after attending a training program in Oklahoma. In addition to Dudley, Scott has trained multiple dozens of new controllers over the years.

“I think I’ve trained four generations of controllers,” Scott recalled. There were the ones who were hired in the mid- to late1970s. Then after the strike and subsequent firing of all strikers by President Ronald Reagan in 1980, there was another crew of recruits. Then with the mandatory retirement age of 56—implemented shortly after Scott was hired—at least two more generations of controllers have been trained by Scott.

Fellow African-American controller Joseph Hambrite, who became a controller in January 1970, called Scott “an excellent trainer.” He called him an all-around good guy, who was a great role model.

“There were not too many people who looked like us when we started,” Hambrite said. “We’ve been here a long time and we’ve seen it all.”

In addition to his mentorship of others, Scott added fun to the Hampton Center by wearing bright colors and some unique outfits, including once wearing a Don King wig that got him a lot of attention, including some (unwanted) from the front office.

Dudley said, “He was easy-going and fun to be around.”

alum visits everest base camp Mona Chakkal-Adams ’86 has always been an adventurer. Living in Saudi Arabia and most recently in Qatar, she is not afraid of a new challenge. A trip to the Himalayas confirmed this. Mona recently made the 31kilometer trek from Lukla to the Mount Everest Base Camp, a trip listed in the book The 100 Things to Do Before You Die and takes between 8 and 10 days. She shared her reflections.

“Along the way you pass Sherpa villages, cross rivers, and wind around hillsides on a rugged trek up the Khumbu Valley,” Mona writes. “Just after Namche Bazaar; an ancient trading post, you get your first view of Mt. Everest, or ‘Chomolungma’ in Tibetan meaning: Goddess Mother of Earth.

“You continue the ascent crossing many more rivers, always allowing the Yak the right of way over the bridges, passing through incredible rhododendron forests and small Sherpa communities always offering hospitality. The goal remains twofold; the summit of Kala Pattar, and Mt. Everest Base Camp,” Mona writes. “As you enter Base Camp and see the small city that it is, you realize that these tents will be home for many climbers for months to come. Clothing drying on lines, shoes lined up outside tents, and a group practicing ice climbing all remind you of the main objective of so many adventurers. The camaraderie is apparent as climbers from different countries sit together telling stories, compare notes and advise each other on how to attain the ultimate goal; to summit Mt. Everest. You feel lucky to catch a glimpse of that community, and

be a part of it, if even for a day before you commence your descent back to Lukla, continuing flight to Kathmandu, and onward journey to your home country.

“The memories of the adventure stay with you for a lifetime. You will never forget the hospitality of the Sherpa people, the beauty of the nature surrounding you, the reflection of the times you wanted to give up, your eventual success, and the feeling of sadness upon completion.” Q veterinarian finds a niche and passion with holistic approach Dr. Liz Hassinger ’77 was featured on the front page of the Providence Journal in January. Liz—who studied at the University of Montana and the University of Rhode Island before attending the Tufts University Veterinary School— has a practice in Exeter, Rhode Island. The story chronicles her discovery of holistic veterinary medicine and use of acupuncture with animals.

Liz had a life-changing experience taking an animal acupuncture course in New Mexico and brought her experience back to her practice at Wolf Rock Center, which she opened in 1997.

“There was very little out there at that time,” Hassinger says in the Providence Journal story. “It was really a grass-roots movement within veterinarian circles.”

“The earth is sacred, and all the animals and all the plants. And it’s people, too. I love people just as much as I love animals and plants.

“It all starts with a love for animals. In my practice, I’m really able to love animals.

My staff members love animals. I encourage them to actually talk to the animals: ‘Don’t just hold the animal, but talk to them, say it’s OK, we’re going to help you. We’re taking this blood test because we have to find out what’s going on.’

“So, we actually treat them with the respect that you would if it were a person

you were working with. A lot of people say they wish they had a doctor that did the kind of stuff we do.” Q martin takes over tennessee men’s basketball program A former Purdue standout and head coach at Missouri State, Cuonzo Martin ’91— who spent a year as a postgraduate at New Hampton School—was hired as the 18th Men’s Basketball Coach at the University of Tennessee in March.

“Cuonzo is among the most promising young coaches in the game, and we are excited about the coaching ability, toughness and energy that he brings to our program,” former Tennessee athletic director Mike Hamilton said. “He has a proven track record of success as a head coach at Missouri State and an assistant at Purdue as well as an outstanding career as a college basketball player.”

Martin arrived in New Hampton in the fall of 1990 with bad knee, but despite playing at what Mark Tilton describes as 60 percent most of the season because of his knee, Martin helped the Huskies to a 23-3 record with all three defeats coming to Maine Central Institute. He relished the basketball experience playing alongside Lawrence Moten ’91 (Syracuse) and Kenya Hunter ’91 (Duquesne), but other aspects of his experience also resonated. He remem-

He embraced New Hampton, and New Hampton embraced Martin.

“It was a great year, just being in the state of New Hampshire coming from East St. Louis,” says Martin. “It was one humbling and two, a blessing. I’m forever grateful to Coach Tilton and Coach (Whit) Lesure for giving me an opportunity. ...Everyone was so genuine. They never saw color, and they embraced me as an individual.

“Ed Cooley did a great job rebuilding Fairfield into a consistently strong program,” Providence athletics director Bob Driscoll said. “Each season his team showed improvement and the win totals increased. Throughout this process he used hard work and dedication, and that is part of what makes him a good fit for Providence College.”

Cooley attended New Hampton for one year before heading to Stonehill College, where he enjoyed a successful college career. As the story goes, Cooley needed to make a surprise trip to Central New Hampshire to gain admission.

In Brief either: after I’m gone, real people are going to be using them to get real work done. That’s an awesome feeling, and a great motivator to do the best job I can.

How did New Hampton prepare you for college and an opportunity like this?

Being a software developer means you will often run into questions that no one else can answer, and you have no choice but to buckle down and figure complicated things out on your own, either through experimentation or paging through dense technical writing until you find what you need. One of the best things I got from New Hampton was the ability to do this kind of open-ended research, where the goal isn’t defined for you and you need to figure out what has to be accomplished and how to get there.

Alex Slover ’08 Spends a Summer at Microsoft Alex Slover ’08, a computer science major at Cornell, worked as an intern for Microsoft in Washington state in the summer of 2011.

Alex, who plans to earn his Masters after college, is also hoping to land a job with Microsoft after graduation. Here’s what he had to say about his experience.

Responsibilities at Microsoft: I’m an sdet— Software Development Engineer in Test. This means my day is mostly spent developing automated testing tools to ensure that, when other developers have ideas they want to try, these ideas work properly and do not interfere with the system.

What has been the most rewarding part of the internship? I had internships in the software industry for the two summers prior to this, but those were very much “interny” positions and I was either fixing bugs piecemeal, or just doing busywork. This is the first time I’ve ever been part of a professional software development project, with all the responsibilities that entails (meetings! reviews!

Design documents!). Learning about the differences between how software is developed in the real industry versus how it’s developed in academia has been a great experience. The tools I’m developing are not just throwaway projects

How did you land the internship? When I was a sophomore, I handed my resume to some Microsoft people at a Cornell career fair. I ended up going to secondround interviews, but I didn’t get the internship--not only was that my first “real” job interview and I probably bungled it, but they said most MS interns are juniors and a sophomore really has to wow them to get a job. They said they were impressed, though, and kept my resume on file. When I got back to school last September, I didn’t even contact them. They contacted me, and said I could skip the first-round interview and go straight to Redmond to interview again. I did so, and this time I landed an internship. There’s a “don’t give up” moral there, I suppose. Q

During the 1990s, as the founding Director of the Civitella Ranieri Foundation in Italy, Knox envisioned and established a center for the arts designed to advance and widen the discourse of contemporary cultural practice by engaging the voices and thinking of practitioners from all parts of the world and providing them with excellent conditions to advance their work.

Knox recently told the asu News, “a visit to an art museum is more than ‘standing behind a line looking at pictures.’

“An art museum is an active location for the articulation of ideas and a safe location for contemplative exploration,” he says.

“My career has been built on developing opportunities to allow creative thinkers in the arts to do what they do best.

“The arts provide society with the ability to adapt. The arts question assumptions and break down barriers. The arts provide society with a means to change.” Q

legendary poet visits campus Donald Hall shared his poetry, insight on writing, and wonderful wit with New Hampton School students in February. Hall, the former United States Poet Laureate, gave some salient advice to aspiring writers in the audience when he said, “You have to love to read before you love to write.”

Hall, who was invited to campus by former English teacher Sara Crowley ’01, grew up in Hamden, Connecticut, attended Phillips Exeter, Harvard, and Oxford before teaching at the University of Michigan. He decided at a young age tha he wanted to become a poet.

“I decided when I was fourteen that this is what I was going to do and I’ve done it,” said Hall, who lives in nearby Wilmot, New Hampshire.

Students were surprised to hear about Hall’s writing process. He explained that the last poem he wrote, set to be published in

A

September 2011, took him two years to write and he went through nearly 200 drafts.

English Department Head Darren Redman was thrilled to have Hall come to New Hampton, and was particularly pleased with the way Hall offered wonderful access into the world of poetry.

“Perhaps Donald Hall said it best,” Redman said. “When asked what a poet is, he responded, ‘Someone who doesn’t want exact answers.’”

Hall, who was named the Poet Laureate in 2006, is part of a stellar cast of poets who have received the honor. Other Poet Laureates include Robert Frost, Karl Shapiro, Conrad Aiken, and Billy Collins. Q going solar for the second time New Hampton School didn’t want to make its display of alternative energy a one-time thing. One year after the School became the first in New Hampshire to make a solar installation on a school building, students in

the School’s Projects in Sustainability class teamed with parei (Plymouth Area Renewable Energy Initiative) to install a solar-powered water heater on Smith House, the home of Head of School Andrew Menke and his family. The installation was part of an all-day Earth Day celebration that also included a keynote presentation from Rick Peyser ’68, an nhs trustee and Director of Social Advocacy for Green Mountain Coffee Roasters.

Guillermo Alvarez ’11 spent most of the day on the Smith House roof helping the crew install the rack for the thirty solar tubes.

“It was just a great experience working with the whole crew,” Alvarez said. “Getting out there and not knowing what to expect and not being that familiar with it, we were able to learn a lot and in a couple hours and pull this miracle together.”

The Smith House system is different in several ways from the one installed on Veazey Dorm a year ago. Veazey is using

only solar and electricity to heat its water.

Smith House will continue to use oil for its hot water in the winter, when the boiler is fired up to heat the building, with the solar system heating up the water coming in off the street before it feeds the boiler. In the spring, the boiler will be shut off, and an electric water heater will then work with the solar system to produce the hot water. Q farr-williams receives teaching award When Ralph S. O’Connor created an endowed Excellence in Teaching Award in 2010, he wanted to recognize in a special way the tireless work and commitment of New Hampton School teachers. So it was no surprise when the first-ever Ralph O’Connor Excellence in Teaching Prize was awarded to Katerina Farr-Williams, who teaches in the math department and is the Director of the International Support Program. Farr-Williams, who arrived at New Hampton nine years ago, is one of the most dedicated educators on campus. The senior class officers, who served on the committee that chose the recipient of this professional development prize, described Farr-Williams’ far-reaching qualities as a teacher. “She has been known to make extra help sessions more than mandatory, in fact she can be seen on campus tracking down certain students to give them the help they so need, whether they want it or not. Student achievement is paramount to her educational philosophy. She is an advocate for authentic assignments and holding students’ accountable to the highest of expectations. She seeks to improve not only the quality of her teaching, but the resources, content, and practices of those around her. She is a natural advocate for education and educators.” Q years of service End-of-the-year meetings allow the opportunity for New Hampton School to recognize

members of the community that have served the School for considerable amounts of time.

Among the faculty and staff honored for their years of service in June were: Eric LaCroix, Director of Technology (15 years); Amy Wilson, Art Department Head (15 years); Jeremy Mathison, Music Department (10 years); Martha Flanders, Health Center Nurse (24 years); Hans Mundahl, faculty and Director of Technology Integration (10 years); Beth Dodge, Assistant to the Head of School (10 years); Carol Stazinski, Campus Store (10 years). Q ib students raise money in first-annual walk for hunger When nhs introduced the International Baccalaureate Program in the Fall of 2010, it knew that students would benefit from a globally minded curriculum that would prepare them for the rigors of college.

leadership opportunities. The School hosted the First Annual “Walk for Hunger” in May. Five International Baccalaureate students from the class of 2012, Will Callif ’12, A.J. Lederman ’12, Anna Menke ’12, Grey Rubin ’12, and Katie Solman ’12 planned the event as part of their IB requirement of “initiating an activity.” Over fifty community members walked the 10-mile course along the Pemigewasset River. Money raised will benefit two local food pantries: Ashland Food for All and Plymouth Meals for Many. Q jean kilbourne meets new hampton As part of the School’s Community Meeting Speaker Series, New Hampton welcomed one of the most respected names in the analysis and criticism of advertising in America in March. The talk was made possible by the generosity of a current nhs parent. In a 50-minute presentation in McEvoy Theater, Jean Kilbourne explored how alcohol and tobacco companies try to

Kilbourne illustrated how both industries rarely show anything about the quality of their products or what they do to you. “When people are blindfolded, they can very rarely pick out their own brand of anything... what they’re selling us is image,” said Kilbourne, who is the author of the award-winning book Can’t Buy My Love: How Advertising Changes the Way We Think and Feel and So Sexy So Soon: The New Sexualized Childhood and What Parents Can Do to Protect Their Kids.

Q arts day For the first time ever, Arts Day became an all-school event this spring, with every student and faculty member participating in more than sixty different workshops.

With the help of guest artists, community members participated and learned more about dance, music, photography, graphic design, and studio art. Q community efforts lead to $4,500 check to japan relief effort Husky Nation left its mark on a necessary humanitarian movement this spring. During one of the final School Meetings of the academic year, Student Body President Mary

Penniman ’11 presented Stephanie Couturier of the American Red Cross’s Concord Office a check for $4,520.25 that went to the Japanese Red Cross and the relief effort in Japan. The donation was the result of four different fundraisers. A dance sponsored by the sophomore class, a dodgeball tournament, an art auction, and “Meatless Mondays” all added up to fund the donation.

“We are very proud of our community members and their ability to serve those in need,” Head of School Andrew Menke said. “New Hampton School strives to cultivate global citizens, and this is another example of how our students and faculty think globally and act locally in order to make a difference.”

The School generated savings by not serving any meat during lunches on Mondays for seven weeks, and designated the savings toward the relief effort. Martha Shepp and Rene Martinez, two faculty members, spearheaded a successful Art Auction during nhs’s annual Arts Day that raised $2,194 by selling wonderful pieces of art produced by students, faculty, and staff. Q student scores perfect score on national math exam nhs math students enjoyed unprecedented success in the American Invitational Math Examination, and one student earned a perfect score. Boe Vachiraprasith ’11, a senior student from Thailand who will attend Brown University, answered every question on the exam correctly. Boe, who was a Royal Thai Scholar, joined a select group of students in the last decade who have scored a perfect score on the aime. Between 2001 and 2009, there were between three and nine perfect scores on the aime annually. Nearly 200,000 students take the amc-10 and amc-12 and from these examinations, approximately 10,000 students are invited to take the aime.

Suh ’12 and Seung Wook Lee ’12, were also invited with Boe to participate in the usa Mathematical Olympiad.

“Boe is in a very select group of high school math students,” says New Hampton Math Department Chair Justin Freeman, who noted his student also scored in the top 100 at the Harvard mit Math Tournament. “It is hard to say just how good he is. …I was very excited just to see so many students willing to give up their free time to enter a math contest. We have some extremely bright and talented students at New Hampton School. ...I think that this success could really catalyze more interest in mathematics competition next year and I suspect that we will have more successes in the future.” Q international night showcases cuisine, music, and dance It began days before in the kitchen of the Dining Hall. For innumerable hours, New Hampton international students cut vegetables, seasoned meat, stirred ingredients, and cut pastries in preparation for the annual International Night celebration. And once again the lines were long in the

Dining Hall, and the applause was loud in McEvoy Theater.

The energy, creativity, and sense of collaboration was outstanding as nhs International students, who add so much to contribute to the sense of a Global community, showcased their cultures and all of their talents to their peers and teachers in their annual celebration of culture. Yes, International night has become a night that anticipated for the culinary delight and the performance. Q seniors receive excellent college matriculation results The College Counseling Office enjoyed unprecedented success in guiding New Hampton School’s Class of 2011. Seniors were accepted to over 180 different colleges and universities. According to Head of School Andrew Menke, the number of highly selective schools accepting nhs students and the options seniors now have in the college process speaks to the renaissance at New Hampton School.

“We are incredibly proud of the work of Director of College Counseling Marty Elkins and her team,” Menke says. “The

strong results validate the hard work and innate ability of the senior class, and the acceptance of our seniors to so many different colleges mirrors the diversity, and inherent strength, of the class as a whole.”

Marty Elkins, who is beginning her third year running the New Hampton School College Office, is thrilled with the results.

“The 180 different colleges and universities [at which nhs students were accepted] reflects the breadth and scope of our student body. That diversity also means our students are not focused on any one region or selectivity ranking, but look nationally at a wide range of colleges,” says Elkins.

Seniors were accepted to colleges and universities all around the country including Bard, Brandeis, Brown, Boston University, Bucknell, Connecticut College, Cornell, Lafayette, Lehigh, nyu, Trinity, UC Berkeley, University of Chicago, University of Michigan, University of Virginia, and Williams.

Students with ambitions to study the arts were accepted by some of the premier art schools in the nation including Rhode Island School of Design and Parsons School of Design. For a complete college matriculation list, visit www.newhampton.org/college. Q

spring season highlights Despite late melting snow and one of the rainiest springs in recent years, the spring athletic teams persevered. The Men’s Tennis Team, under the tutelage of longtime coach Veronica Lima-DeAngelis, won a Lakes Region Championship with a 9-0 record. It was the program’s first title since 2008 and fifth since 2002 under Lima-DeAngelis. The season included a 9-0 victory over rival Holderness. It was the first victory for the Huskies over the Bulls in 18 years. “These tennis players were extremely athletic,”

erin moran ’12

Lima-DeAngelis said. “However, they had their own style. As a coach, I had to teach them how to keep the ball in play and not give a lot of unforced errors to their opponents. I kept them in shape with my “Basic Training Program,” just for tennis.”

The Huskies benefited from a No. 1 player in Nathaniel Colp ’11 who continually challenged other teams’ top players. Meanwhile, the Huskies leaned on their depth and a ladder of players that included a number of multi-sport athletes who put in the necessary conditioning time during the early season.

I teach in the science department, chemistry mostly. Last year I taught the freshman science class, Science and Sustainability, for the first time. In my eyes, science is everything and everywhere. We can’t live and share this planet without understanding the basic workings of our universe. In order to be good stewards of our resources, we should understand the workings of them. how have your own children been prepared for college and beyond at nhs? This little oasis allowed them to feel safe enough while they were here to be completely themselves. Many school environments are so judgmental and the students feel they need to fit in at any cost. New Hampton School has always been unlike that. Here, you are free to be who you are. Afterall, it is much easier being who you are than who you aren’t.

This leaves you energy to learn and be creative. what makes new hampton the community it is? Authenticity. It is hard to explain. It is a place where people are genuine and caring. how has the transition to pilalas center for math and science been? Pilalas is the most amazing space in which to teach.

service & sacrifice

Eric Buer ’84 Eric Buer ’84 spent countless hours in attack helicopters, risked his life during innumerable missions in Iraq as a Lieutenant Colonel in the Marine Corp, and found himself hunkered down in the Pentagon reporting to the joints staff in recent years. But Buer—who found his facility for intellectual engagement as a four-year student at New Hampton— might have discovered his true calling recently as an associate Professor at the National Defense University. Buer traded the long hours of pondering strategy in hallowed offices of the Pentagon in 2010 for standing before a cast of future decision makers in his classes on Strategy and Policy and Ethics. The soldier turned strategist is now a professor, and life seems to be pretty good for the married father of four.

“Preparation for class for me is two or three times as much as it was as a student,” says the San Francisco native who received a Bachelor’s in economics from Ohio Wesleyan; an mba from La Salle, and Master’s degrees in military studies and strategic studies from the Marine Corps Command and Staff College and the War College. “With teaching you need to put everything in context. You need to read things a couple of times and actually know what you’re talking about.”

Buer carries a sense of humor that was needed during the more challenging moments of his military career, which included three tours in Iraq. In 2004–05, he was based in Al Anbar province between the flashpoint cities of Fallujah and Ramadi. His command of 400 included pilots and air crew, maintenance and healthcare workers, and administrative and logistics specialists.

Buer carried incredible responsibility, which led to a bump to Colonel and a posting at the War College. After three years of traveling

the world and helping to determine the policies of nato, he now spends his late hours reading for class. He is no less inspired by the rewards that come with the military life.

“What keeps me going is the sense of service,” Buer explains. “The traveling is great; the three tours in Iraq were not so great. But fundamentally, the satisfaction I get from service is above all about the people. You meet the most incredible people. …As you get older, it’s a cool job because you’re with a younger people—18- and 19-year-olds. It amazing what we put on those folks. And to lead them and mentor them, it was a big part of what I did.”

Buer believes that New Hampton School pushed him toward a career in service.

“I think you get exposed to a lot of opportunities there,” he explains. “You have a chance to go to Golden View Health Care Center and show prospective students around. With all the sports I played, there was camaraderie and teamwork. There is a sense of family there, and the Marine Corps are very similar. At New Hampton, I got exposed pretty quickly to a sense of volunteerism.”

After three years working for the Chairman of Joint Chief’s staff, Buer is settling into his new role, commuting to the nation’s capital from Fredericksburg, Virginia.

His days of flying attack helicopters are over, but Buer carries with him all his experiences from Iraq, Somlia, Kuwait, and the former Yugoslavia, and is proud of the Distinguished Flying Cross with Valor he earned with more than 35,000 flight hours and 370 combat missions, many aimed at rescuing wounded soldiers. As the United States of America tries to navigate through the treacherous global landscape and the conflicts in which it is involved, friends of New Hampton School can feel proud to have a soldier in their midst that has provided hands-on service, shaped policy, and is now molding the next generation of military leaders. r

The cross is awarded for “heroism or extraordinary achievement while participating in an aerial flight, subsequent to November 11, 1918,” while the Valor Device is awarded for heroism in combat.

new hampton school

Alicia Burrows ’00 was sitting in her dorm room at Colby College in 2011, preparing for a French class when the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2011 struck. It changed the way Americans think about homeland security and the career path of a freshman college student from Meredith, New Hampshire.

Four years later, Burrows was an Army platoon leader headed to Iraq, responsible for forty men and women and far away from the athletic fields, classrooms, and campus spaces that had been a far less turbulent setting for her maturation as a leader.

“I’ve learned a great deal from my experiences in the military and what sticks out the most is leadership,” says Burrows, a Captain who has completed seven years in the service and endured two combat deployments to the Middle East. “Young Army officers are purposefully introduced to the military by a sort of ‘baptism by fire.’ My particular experience

was taking charge of a platoon of 40 soldiers as a 22-year-old lieutenant and leading them through a yearlong deployment to Iraq.”

Burrows believes she was ready for the challenge, though, with her experiences at nhs and Colby tucked away in her toolbox.

A class president, standout athlete, and exemplary student during her time at New Hampton who won the Meservey Medal, Alicia tackled leadership roles and responsibility from a young age.

“Fortunately, my preparation for that moment began years ago right here at New Hampton School,” Burrows told New Hampton School graduates in May 2011.

Now a full-time student at the College of William & Mary’s Mason School of Business, pursuing a Master's in Business Administration, Burrows appreciatively looks back on her service thus far. With all the challenges that come with a military life, there are also the opportunities for travel and exploration.

Alicia calls living in Germany for five years and travelling throughout Europe her biggest thrill. Now she’s taking advantage of the educational benefits of the armed services.

For Burrows, military service began as something to keep her personal grade book filled, but morphed into something more holistic in its meaning.

“I initially joined the Army Reserves in college because I wanted a challenge,” says Burrows, who remains on active duty as a full-time student and will return to Army responsibilities next summer. “At the time I had no plans to serve on active duty, but then 9/11 happened shortly after I completed basic training. Unsure about my post-college career plans and with my country at war, I decided to pursue and accept an rotc scholarship for active duty service.”

Yes, Alicia Burrows’ plans changed, and with it, so did the good fortune of the United States Army. r

Robert Crum ’59 Robert Crum ’59 uttered revealing words to Private David Dolby as he passed away at the age of twenty-six from multiple bullet wounds in the Central Highlands of South Vietnam on May 21, 1966.

“How are my men? How are my men?”

On that horrific day, Lieutenant Crum and his Army platoon walked into an ambush of almost insurmountable circumstances, and on that day Crum, with his final words, continued to exhibit the character that made him a respected student at New Hampton School, a caring family member, and an enigmatic college-educated officer among teenage soldiers.

In a detailed chapter of S.L.A Marshall’s Battles in the Monsoon: Campaigning in the Central Highlands, Vietnam, 1966, Crum’s final day is detailed, painting a picture of Dolby’s courage and Crum’s leadership under fire. Awarded the Purple Heart as well as the Silver Star and Vietnam Gallantry Cross with Palm, posthumously, Crum was first shot in the shoulder on that day in Binh Dinh Province before suffering fatal wounds. According to firsthand accounts, “he continued to direct his men to cover the personnel in the area who had become casualties, demonstrating his fearlessness and courageous leadership to his men.”

While the chapter in Battles in the Monsoon chronicles the manner in which Dolby selflessly charged up a hill and tried to protect his platoon’s casualties from a barrage of gunfire, it also elucidates the magnitude of Crum’s leadership. Providing guidance to the end, Crum recognized that the unlikely position of machine gunner, Dolby, was the man who needed to make the strategic decisions for the platoon.

“Take control and get these men out,” Crum said to Dolby.

Crum’s nephew John Leonard was not even born yet when his uncle died in Vietnam, but he has made considerable effort as an adult uncovering what happened in Vietnam and honoring his uncle’s bravery.

What resonates more than the details of the ambush, is the man Crum showed himself to be before and during his tour in Vietnam.

Leonard recalls the story that Dolby told him about Crum. Dolby—a five-tour veteran who received the Congressional Medal of Honor and died last year—walked into Crum’s tent in the early days of his time in Vietnam and immediately recognized that Crum was not the classic officer. On his bunk was a book that was battered, highlighted, and tabbed.

Crum, who loved consuming the poetry of Rudyard Kipling and Walt Whitman, was doing more practical reading. The book was about what it is like to be an infantryman. As Dolby recalled, he knew that Crum was “different. He wanted to know about us. I appreciated that.”

Long before he adorned his Army uniform, Crum distinguished himself as anything but an ordinary guy at New Hampton. A hockey and football player, Crum was also the business manager of the Belfry yearbook. Jason Pilalas ’58 recalls “a smiling happy-go-lucky kid. He had a huge streak of common sense and saw the humor in every situation.”

Olivia Thompson married Crum in 1965 in a “beautiful military wedding.” She had met him six years earlier when Crum was a college freshman at Wake Forest and she was a waitress in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

“He was a young man full of life, full of energy, and full of fun,” Thompson recalled during the dedication of the Crum Campus Center at New Hampton in 2004. “He had a curiosity, warmth and eagerness that drew you to him—charisma and a zest for life that see “crum,” on page 40

His only son tears up over the telephone when he considers the father he only knew for five months, but grew to love and appreciate even more as he became an adult and built his own family.

“He loved to fly,” says Donald Galletly Jr., son of Donald R. Galletly ’41. “He was very close to his friends in U.S. Naval Reserve and thought very highly of them.”

A little more than ten years after graduating from New Hampton School, Donald Galletly Sr. was shipped out to the West Coast to prepare for a combat role in the Korean Conflict. Galletly was activated for duty. He was an experienced pilot who had grown up flying planes as a youth around his hometown of Great Neck, New York. He was flying a Grumman AF Guardian plane based at Los Alamitos that was landing on the aircraft carrier USS Bataan off San Diego in December 1951. When turbulent seas created difficult conditions, his plane crashed into the deck and sank. Donald Galletly perished in the high seas. He was twenty-eight years old and left behind a young wife, Barbara, and two children.

“My mother never spoke about it much, because it was such a hole for her,” says his son, who now lives near Philadelphia after a successful career in business. “He was very

special to her. He was a wonderful person and family man.”

During his two years at New Hampton, Galletly was every bit the team player. Well liked by his classmates, he played football, JV hockey, varsity baseball, and also contributed to the Manitou newspaper. A graduate of Lafayette College, Donald Galletly worked in advertising for the New York Daily News and was in the U.S. Naval Reserve, based out of Willow Grove, Pennsylvania. When he became an active member of the Navy, he embraced the opportunity to serve his country. His brother Robert ’42, father of Peter Galletly ’73 and Robert Galletly Jr. ’71, also served in the War (see photo insert, page 43).

Young Don was forced to paint a picture of his father, a sketch that became more clear when he encountered his old friends. They didn’t fill the air with exaggerated descriptions. It was always sincere and genuine.

“From talking to them, I would say he was the kind of guy who would walk into a room and light it up,” says Donald Jr. “He had a big personality and was very thoughtful. He loved the outdoors and sailing. …He was a true patriot, loved being in the service of country, loved that aspect of his life.” r

Victor Lima-Deangelis ’03 The sacrifices that military folks make for their country tend to dwarf those of the civilian man. For Victor LimaDeAngelis ’03, son of longtime faculty member and head of the tennis program Veronica Lima-DeAngelis, each treacherous deployment into the warzone is exacerbated by a simple fact: he must leave his family behind.

“I have a beautiful wife named Emily, who is currently in nursing school and will graduate January 2012,” he explains, “and a beautiful daughter, Sophia Valentina. It is so hard to go home and see them, and spend such an unbelievable time creating great memories throughout the year, and then when it’s time to deploy, having to tell them, especially my daughter who is almost four, that Daddy is leaving for a year, and she won’t be able to see him until he is done working. That has got to be the worst thing ever, because you always wonder what if that is the last time you will see your family.”

A six-year veteran of the Army, LimaDeAngelis is awaiting his Sergeant pin and is a team leader in a Scout/Sniper/Reconnaissance platoon that is currently serving in Afghanistan. He is part of the 3rd Brigade Combat team (First Battalion, 32nd infantry regiment), which is a subordinate unit of the 10th Mountain Division based out of Fort Drumm, New York. It is Lima-DeAngelis’ third deployment after stints in Abu Gharib, Iraq, and Kirkiurk, Iraq. In the middle of September, Lima-DeAngelis wrote from the Zari district of Kandahar, Afghanistan, where he was excited about his unit’s progress.

“We recently pushed to the Arghandab River for the first time,” Lima-DeAngelis explains. “And let’s say that it has definitely been a wild one. We are the first unit to push that far south to the river.”

Since arriving in Afghanistan six months ago, Lima-DeAngelis has endured the totality of wartime, the reality of losing comrades, but also the thrill of trying to accomplish a mission.

“I would have to say my biggest thrill was a few weeks ago, when we got into a pretty good fire fight and we were pinned down,” he explained in September in an e-mail.

“And we used our amazing Air Force and definitely showed them up. Oh man, when you hear that gun run from an A-10 Jet, everything just stops.”

The military was an option that LimaDeAngelis thought would make the most sense given his desire for a challenge and activity. see “lima-deangelis,” on page 41

He played tennis and golf and took hikes to the neighboring peaks in between swims in Newfound Lake. But life would take an aerial twist.

“In spite of our separation from the real world, we became increasingly aware of the fact that something was wrong with the world,” Moore writes in his unpublished memoirs. “This awareness was sharpened when the Navy announced the V5 program, a newly established program which enabled young men who had completed two years of

college and could pass a flight physical to qualify for enlistment into flight training to become Naval aviators.”

A few months later, Bud Moore was learning how to fly and beginning what would be a four-year stint in the Navy. Only a few months removed from playing music, he was the Junior Ensign on a ship of 2,109 men and the Junior Officer in the V (Aviation) Division. He flew os2u Kingfishers off the battleship Indiana and embraced the time-draining process of flying the main float seaplanes with two wing floats. The planes were catapulted into the air and then returned to the vessels when they landed on sleds that were pulled by the battleships.

Moore, who became the Senior Aviator at the age of twenty-two to his disbelief, spent most of his time in the South Pacific where he transitioned from the battleship USS Indiana to the USS New Mexico, another battleship. All the while, his responsibilities were consistent.

“Our job was to take islands back from the Japanese,” Moore says of his flights over the Marshall and Solomon Islands, “and spot the guns firing from the shore—soften them up for when the Marines and Army landed. That was my major duty. There was a lot of reconnaissance. But mostly it was the spotting.”

For his efforts in the South Pacific, he was presented with the Air Medal for “consummate skill and daring beyond the call of duty in the performance of duty as Senior Aviator of the Indiana and the New Mexico in the Gilbert Islands, Marshall Islands, and Marianas campaigns.”

During his time in the Navy, he managed stop-offs in Pearl Harbor and Australia between patrols in the South Pacific. His travels continued in 1944 when he was assigned to see “moore,” on page 41

Jason Pilalas ’58 Jason Pilalas ’58 was a student at Harvard Business School in the early 1970s and did not have the same weekend schedule as many of his peers. Once a month, Pilalas hopped in his car and made the trip to New York for Naval Reserve training. He would return early on Monday mornings for classes, a seemingly inconvenient part of life for an ambitious young man attempting to cull the most out of his graduate school experience.

But few people shared the affinity for the Navy that Pilalas developed and maintains to this day. For if there was any experience that paved the way for his success more than his time at New Hampton School, it was his 23 years in active and reserve duty.

“I always loved going to sea,” Pilalas says.

“I like being with a bunch of people with a shared mission who are determined to accomplish the mission.”

And his missions were rarely cruises through the harbor during peace time.

Pilalas was not ready for college in the spring of 1958 when he left New Hampton before graduation and enlisted in the Navy. He spent six months “chipping paint” as a seventeen-year-old enlistee before finding his way to the Naval Prep School. Then the Navy, in exchange for his service, paid his way through the University of Southern California on an rotc Scholarship. Pilalas graduated in 1963, and the Vietnam War greeted him with his diploma. A young man in his early twenties, Pilalas quickly earned a great deal of responsibility. He made three tours in Vietnam and was the second commander of a ship with 26 officers and 260 crew. Though his first two tours included more pedestrian missions, “moving from peace time to war time” and “running with the carriers and supporting Marines,” his third tour proved to be the

most challenging. Pilalas found himself on the Mekong River in South Vietnam where he was on a converted Landing Ship, Tank (lst) that had ten pbrs (Power Boat, River) and Huey helicopters among other resources.

The bulk of Pilalas’ missions involved planning and giving orders for the rescue of downed aircraft.

“There was so much energy dedicated to getting there, aiding the wounded, and not getting killed. The most harrowing part of Vietnam was dealing with people who were badly injured,” Pilalas recalls.

The images from that final tour lingered with him in the ensuing years.

“I don’t know that I had post-traumatic syndrome, but for the first one-and-a-half years of my marriage, my wife told me she would wake up and I would be yelling. It eventually went away.”

What didn’t evaporate was Pilalas’ passion for helping people. A loyal supporter of New Hampton School as well as so many charities, Pilalas believes that his experiences in rescue situations made a profound impact on how he lived the rest of his life.

“I think the Navy and my experiences in Vietnam made me a more caring person,” says Pilalas, who with his wife Rena was the lead donor for the construction of the Pilalas Center for Math and Science at New Hampton (opened in 2009). “When you are involved in saving people’s lives, you get a great sense of satisfaction and have a desire to do it again. You want to do it again. …I have a generous streak that was magnified by my experience there.”

Pilalas’ loyalty to the Navy never wavered.

With his work as an investment titan at the Capital Group in Los Angeles taking him around the world on business travel and a wife and two children, he finally left the reserves in 1981 as a Lt. Commander. see “pilalas,” on page 41

When Tristan Poh ’02 considers his military service in the United States Navy, his thoughts don’t immediately drift toward covert missions and complex military tactics.

“Many of these missions have long names and can sound impressive at cocktail parties,” says Tristan, “but the more meaningful missions have been humanitarian.

My squadron was called upon to aid in the search and rescue of the Air France crash from Brazil and to assist Haiti after the earthquake in 2010. Whether it was trying to bring closure to the French and Brazilian families or helping guide aid to the victims in Haiti, the humanitarian efforts put forth by the United States military force is where our training is most evident.”

For the Poh family of Meredith, New Hampshire, service in the Navy is as much about being citizens of the world as it is about defending their country. A family tradition of military service has long been a staple of the success of the United States Armed Forces, and the citizens of the United States depend on the dedication of this familial tradition. The trio of siblings from Meredith perhaps embodies this more than any New Hampton School family of the last thirty years. Alexandra ’99, Tristan ’02, and Brendan ’05 all graduated from New Hampton with exemplary achievements in

and out of the classroom, only to be matched by their service to their country.

Alexandra “Sasha” Poh spent more than eight years in the Navy, receiving her official honorary discharge in July of 2011. Sasha left the Navy with the rank of Lieutenant, and her years of service provided enduring values and access into a career as a nurse.

“The Navy further instilled in me integrity, honesty, accountability, and leadership,” says Sasha, who earned a Masters in Nursing at the University of New Hampshire, before beginning work in the icu at Concord Hospital in the state capital while remaining in the reserves.

Today, Sasha lives in San Diego with her husband Chris. She is a registered nurse in the Cardiac Care Unit at Scripps Memorial Hospital in La Jolla. Her New Hampton experience resonated in her military travels to Hawaii, Singapore, Dubai, and Australia and now, as she embarks on civilian life and a career in healthcare.

“The School’s powerful motto, ‘in a world that expects you to fit in, we teach you to stand out,’ was an inspiration to me and it challenged me to believe in myself and follow my dreams,” Sasha says.

The eldest Poh lives around the corner from baby brother Brendan, who in 2009 was the third Poh child to graduate from the College of Holy Cross. A Lieutenant Junior Grade, O-2, Brendan is surface warfare qualified and was the Auxiliaries Officer onboard the USS Princeton (cg-59) until October. He recently moved to the USS Curts (ffg-38) as the Navigator onboard. Already, Brendan has accrued some adrenaline-inducing experience.

Nick Robillard ’05 Nick Robillard ’05 is frustrated. Forget about the painstaking yet speedy recovery he is making after getting shot four times on August 19, 2011, while serving his country in Afghanistan. Robillard wants to be back in the game, with his comrades and helping the United States’ cause in his highly specialized role as a Pararescue Jumper.

“My guys are still out there,” he explains.

“It kills me to not be out there with them.”

Robillard does not sensationalize the moments that led to a broken femur, soft tissue damage in his leg, and the broken bones and tissue damage two other bullets caused in his hand. Rather, he points to the fact that his skill set demanded more than two-and-a-half years of training compared with other United

States soldiers who carry basic training and six months of preparation with them on the front lines in Iraq and Afghanistan. Robillard can’t be too specific in his detail of the events on the day of his injuries, noting that he was performing additional ground duties with Navy Seals and Special Forces in Afghanistan.

He brushes it aside like a determined athlete who has sustained a torn acl.

“I knew what I was getting into,” he explains.

Robillard feels more comfortable talking about the work he was doing, the almost addictive nature of finding himself in a warzone, charged with the important task of helping soldiers in need. He is more inclined to talk about the 70-plus missions that went according to plan.

“Every time we went out it was like our hands just started working,” he explains.

“There were multiple patients and chaos everywhere. You always fall back on your training. Everything gets done quickly and efficiently.”

Robillard did not always know that helping people as a “PJ” was his destiny. After he graduated from New Hampton School in 2005, he found himself on the Seacoast of New Hampshire, working construction and trying to figure out what he was going to do.

College didn’t seem to be the right fit; he was searching for a passion.

In 2007, he enlisted in the Air Force in Concord, New Hampshire. What followed was one of the most comprehensive trainings in the United State Military. There was basic training for six weeks followed by the Pararescue indoctrination for nine more see “robillard,” on page 40

When Fred Smith ’45 entered Officer Candidate School in 1953, the son of former New Hampton School headmaster Fredrick Smith had plenty of people trying to coax him into service in the United States Judge Advocate General’s Corps. Unlike so many other enlistees who were interrupting their studies, Smith already had completed his undergraduate work at Dartmouth and carried a law degree from Cornell. But Smith was compelled to see the world outside of courtrooms during his time serving his country.

“I could have gone into the jag and lived in New York City or Boston doing legal work and created a good resume, but I decided that if I was going to go into the Navy I wanted to see the world,” Smith says.

That’s exactly what Smith did. From September 1953 to February 1957, Smith served his country as a line officer and traveled throughout the Pacific.

“I spent three years aboard the USS Platte (a 550-foot tanker named for a river in Nebraska) in the Pacific, most of the time fueling, underway at sea, ships of all shapes and

sizes—minesweepers, submarines, destroyers, supply ships, cruisers, and aircraft carriers,” Smith says. “…I served initially as Gunnery Officer. The ship’s complement of officers was supposed to be 20 but, during all my time aboard ship, we never had more than 13.”

He also experienced some interesting moments during his time in the Navy due to his legal expertise.

“When I was aboard the ship,” Smith says.

“I would have to attend special court marshalls because I always had to represent the person who had done bad things. I was a lawyer.”

Though military service wasn’t on Smith’s immediate list when he graduated from New Hampton, he knew that public service was in his future, especially after his corporate law experience. When his time in the Navy was complete in 1957, he transitioned to a long and successful career as a Foreign Service Officer and U.S. State Department Attorney with stops in Washington D.C., Mexico City, and Toronto.

For Smith, who grew up attending a single-room elementary school in bucolic New Hampton and attended prestigious institutions, the military provided exposure to a global society as well as different cultures in the United States.

“It was an experience in the Navy,” Smith recalls. “There were people like me who were doing it after college. In contrast, the crew, sailors, and enlisted men, the great majority were from south and southwest—Alabama, Texas—a different culture. …We were exposed to different cultures. It was eyeopening, and that’s what I found most interesting.” r

William Stirrup ’61 William “Bill” Stirrup ’61 knew after he graduated from Marietta College in 1965 that his draft into military was imminent. So instead of waiting for the military to call him, Stirrup, who already was working for Price Waterhouse in New York City out of college, enlisted in the Army.

According to Bill’s father, Al Stirrup, who lives in Florida, his son knew that he would have a different experience if he enlisted.

Opting to stay out of the front lines, he went off to Officer’s Candidate School and became a second lieutenant in the financial corp. Meanwhile, he got married and served his time while based in Indianapolis, Indiana. Between Christmas 1967 and New Year’s Day, Bill was shipped off to Vietnam where he was soon promoted to a full lieutenant.

“He was very impressed with the Army,” Al Stirrup says. “He was happy with his service, and was very willing to go to Vietnam.”

Bill was in Vietnam for five or six months, according to his father. During that time he wrote home to his parents.

“He would write about what was going on and how they would hit the foxholes once in a while,” Al Stirrup says, “but he didn’t do any fighting.”

As Al tells it, Bill was handing out pay to soldiers one day in Vietnam when he collapsed. He was airlifted to Walter Reed Hospital in Washington D.C. where he was diagnosed with advanced cancer. Two weeks later, on May 15, 1968, Bill died in Walter Reed Hospital. A wonderful man who made the ultimate sacrifice for his country, Bill Stirrup—who would have celebrated the 50th Anniversary of his graduation from New Hampton School this past June—was posthumously awarded the Bronze Star Medal for service. r

wild guy, but in the military where he had a responsibility, he was a completely different Rob,” Leonard says. “…He wasn’t worried about this or that. I can’t think of a better example of accountability. He was accountable for his men until the end.”

“crum,” from page 31 endeared him to all. …I respected him as a person with a strong value system whose internal compass led him to embrace the military life as his duty.”

Thompson believes Crum’s time at New Hampton and the patience of T. Holmes Moore ’38, who called Crum into his office on occasion, had a profound effect on her late husband.

“New Hampton molded him into becoming a young man of courage and principles,” said Olivia Thompson, who still lives in Crum’s home state of New Jersey. “His budding maturity was acknowledged and rewarded. He received and cherished the medal for the most improved student. He followed his Headmaster’s instruction to the end.”

Crum’s passion for his country and his duty was only surpassed by his commitment to his men. The military seemed to allow the once mischievous Crum to embrace his innate capacity to lead.

“What I knew from my mother and from his pictures was that he was a fun-loving,

“poh family,” from page 36 warship,” Brendan explains. “In the United States, there is no more than one percent of people that can say they have accomplished this feat at the age of twenty-five.”

Military service has its benefits, but for the youngest Poh the learning outside the classroom is the enduring payoff. “I have learned that anything is possible,” Brendan says. “As long as you work hard, have enthusiasm, and never forget your goals in life you will succeed.”

Brendan believes he had a leg up on his peers when he entered the Navy because of the diverse community at New Hampton.

“A lot of the countries on the other side of the world have great cultures which are a learning experience,” Brendan explains. “New Hampton prepared me in that I was able to learn about these diverse cultures and mingle with people who are from different countries prior to my college experience and the Navy.”

Middle child Tristan lives in the other corner of the country, stationed in Jacksonville, Florida, where he lives with his wife. He is a Naval Flight Officer flying on the p-3c Orion as a Tactical Coordinator and Mission Commander. Carrying the rank of Lieutenant, Tristan has been deployed to Japan in support of the global War on Terror, El Salvador to help in the fight against illegal drug production, and most recently Italy and Djibouti, Africa.

To all corners of the globe the Poh family has taken their skills and commitment, and it is the Navy, the United States, so many coun-

Then came the Pararescue pipeline, a succession of nine different courses including combat dive school, survival school, Army airborne, parachuting, free fall, free fall jumper, Air Force emt, and a civilian emt

paramedic course. He graduated in September , and moved on to two different deployments, one in Okinawa, Japan, and the next in Djibouti, Africa, the latter involving search and rescue in a country that pierced a young American’s emotions.

“We had the opportunity to go into orphanages. We brought soccer balls and frisbies, mres and water,” Robillard says. “…I remember a kid grabbing me and he brought me out to the field and begged me to play soccer with him. I almost got heat exhaustions we were out there so long.”

When his third deployment arrived, Robillard clutched the adrenaline that was in the envelope with orders to serve in Afghanistan. “I was pumped up,” he explains. “I couldn’t wait to get there and do my job. I couldn’t wait to get there and help people on the ground.”

And that is what Nick Robillard has done and hopes to do soon. Though the Pararescue Jumpers have carved out an enigmatic place in the military with their prodigious training and versatility, Robillard has learned so much from his service.

“It’s humbled me a little,” he explains. “I definitely developed a maturity. And overall, this career field has caused me to become a ‘silent professional’—the less you say the better off. It’s taught me humility. When you are working in military it’s not about you anymore, it’s about your country.”

Four bullets might have taught others to stay home and figure out the next stop on the career, but Nick Robillard has found something in which he believes. And his two

years at New Hampton seemed to have helped prepare him for every challenge and life- altering moment in training, Japan, Africa, and Afghanistan.

“All the different cultures that are at nhs really set me up for success,” he says. “I honestly didn’t think anything was that different because I had a lot of friends from around the world.” r “lima-deangilis” from page 33 “I chose to join the military because I have always wanted to fight for my country and college just wasn’t for me,” he explains.

“I am a guy that needs action all the time, and sitting in a classroom listening to people lecture, just wasn’t exciting for me.”

Meantime, Veronica Lima-DeAngelis is the picture of a proud mother overwrought with the fear that is expected when your son is thousands of miles away in such a precarious location.

“Having a son in Special Operations is very difficult,” Veronica Lima-DeAngelis says. “Victor has had two tours in Iraq and this one in Afghanistan. Working in the New Hampton community has given me the strength to persevere during these trying times. … I am very proud that my son is in the United States Army and serving his country. I feel a strong passion and feel for all who are in harm’s way. Victor chose this path, and I support him totally.”

Lima-DeAngelis opted to leave New Hampton early to finish his education where he could train for tennis, but remains thankful for his experience and the values it taught him. “New Hampton will always be a place that I will never forget—great memories and great people.”

The military has provided enduring lessons.

“The military has definitely taught me not to take anything for granted,” he says. “You never know when your last day is going to be, and you should definitely enjoy and make the best of every day.” r

“moore” from page 34 Pensacola, Florida. He was trained to fly the f4u Corsair, a single-seat fighter-bomber, a combat plane that demanded a departure from his previous responsibilities. His extensive training included a move to Michigan where Moore and his colleagues flew countless training missions. Bud became a skilled aviator of this plane, despite a trepidationfilled final flight that included a spray of hydraulic fluid in his face.

“I got into the Navy because I wanted to learn to fly and serve my country,” he explains in his memoir. “The Navy served me well. I realized my childhood dream of being a fighter pilot and along the way learned a lot about leadership, problem solving, performing under pressure, decision-making and managing people.”

These were all skills that helped him in his transition to a life of service to his alma mater.

Indeed, Bud Moore led New Hampton School with the precision and passion of a pilot. r

“pilalas” from page 35 A collector of Naval artifacts who shared a passion for Naval History with then-Headmaster T. H. Moore ’38 during his time at New Hampton, Pilalas believes he was shaped by his Naval experience in a dramatic way.

“It made me a much more mature and confident person,” he says. “I have been in a lot of situations that required good judgment and rapid judgment and I did well in those situations. …Going to the Navy and getting a scholarship opened up everything for me—a progression of good events in my life. I met my wife at usc.”

Pilalas certainly gained some wisdom from the time when he was an enlisted man to the time when he was an officer carrying the load of so many lives in his hands. In addition to discovering a keen sense of his strengths and limitations, he developed an appreciation for his fellow soldiers and its role.

“It’s not McDonald’s that makes this country great,” Pilalas says. “It’s the the people risking their lives so the rest of us can live.” r

Before the IB, I was someone who would look at the notes I got in class and learn them, but now I’m someone who creates his own notes—things I find interesting— and then I apply them.

It was something new to me and different from a public middle school in Southern New Hampshire where I had never heard of the Odyssey before. I never thought of myself as a writer, but I’ve learned to love writing essays for my English classes. F

Lou’s Corner On Saturday afternoon, those of us who are still able played a softball game in which the Bruisers defeated Dupee’s Dodgers 14-1 and, Robert-Grant “Crash” Wealleans ’68— either in his enthusiasm or clumsiness— crashed into second base and broke his wrist. He will be the first recipient of the Broken Bat Award for trying too hard.

Former faculty Joe Merrill was the umpire, and the lopsided score is the result of his accepting a bribe. Thank you Joe. A men’s lacrosse game was also played at the same time as softball on Kennedy Field, resulting in a great game between alumni and current students, coached by current teacher and coach Steve Fay. Later on in the afternoon, a co-educational, multi-age (ages 3 to 56) soccer game was Hello friends, Well another Reunion Weekend concluded.

The Class of 1961 was well represented for their 50th Reunion. We enjoyed dinner at Alumni Hall hosted by Head of School Andrew Menke and his wife Jennifer, and after dinner, we were treated to stories of punch spiking, jumping from windows, and drinking in the kitchen, but best of all, friendships long ago made and now remembered. Bob “Stinky” Greene ’61 was a terrific MC and even volunteered to take up a collection to purchase me a new tooth!

Memories The Former Governor and the Would-Be Governor

by John Bartel ’59 hile there were no political internships at New Hampton when I was there, nonetheless as a student I came face-to-face with a United States senator and provided help on the campaign of another man running for governor.

In the fall of 1956, I had been at New Hampton only about a month when a campaign caravan blew into town and mingled with us on campus one morning. Among the visitors was U.S. Senator Styles Bridges. He had served one term as governor and had been in the Senate since 1937. Senator Norris Cotton may have been in this group as well as they made a whistlestop tour before the general election. Unless our postgraduate students were older than they let on, there weren’t a lot of votes to be garnered on campus that day. But that didn’t seem to matter.

This was a lesson in New Hampshire direct democracy. Politicians in my suburban Boston environs were more distant, existing in newspaper stories, not in the flesh. I hadn’t yet learned that almost everyone or a close relative eventually served in the capacious New Hampshire Legislature (and to save the state money brought their own chairs).

The favorable impression of New Hampshire politics this left on me made me an easy sell two years later when Mr. Moore asked for volunteers at the end of glee club practice for a special project on behalf of a candidate for governor. In a few minutes, he taught a group of us a campaign song for Laconia Mayor Bernard Boutin—the word “boutonniere” not surprisingly was prominent among the lyrics. With the tape recorder turned on, Mr. Moore banged out the song on the piano while we sang with vigor. Presumably, citizens around the state were subjected to this ditty for the next several weeks over the radio.

Despite our best efforts, Mayor Boutin was not successful in his bid to move to Concord. Nor

Where are They Now?

Joe Marsh

Former New Hampton School faculty member Joe Marsh (1976–80) has been the head coach at St. Lawrence since 1985. Joe, who returned to campus in June for the Lou Gnerre celebration, has not limited his teaching to the Hockey rink, though. returning to his roots: st. lawrence men’s hockey coach inspired to join classroom ranks A generation ago, men’s hockey head coach Joe Marsh stood at the front of a classroom.

The subject was not hockey, but math. It was 1976 and Marsh was teaching, and coaching, at the New Hampton School in New Hampshire. After a detour to the Choate School, Marsh found himself at St. Lawrence and at the doorstep of his future career as a collegiate head men’s hockey coach. His teaching took on a less traditional form.

“We teach all the time; it’s just a very unconventional classroom,” Marsh said.

“Appleton Arena is a classroom. (The coach-

48

A

es) have always wanted to be considered part of the educational process.”

For 22 years, Marsh was resigned to his role as hockey coach, teaching the intricacies of the college game to his players. But he wanted something else.

“There’s some great stuff out there that has nothing to do with what we do here,” Marsh said. “It can enhance it; it can augment it. If you had a rough week at practice, you may find some things that have great rewards separate from (hockey).”

Heeding his own advice, Marsh sought an old but familiar position: the front of the classroom.

“I wanted something different, something fresh,” Marsh said. “At my age, I’ve seen enough Xs and Os to last me a lifetime.” He approached former St. Lawrence University First-Year Program (fyp) director Steve Horwitz about helping teach an fyp course.

“I didn’t think there was any way I would end up doing it,” Marsh said. “He said, ‘Well, we have this one (course) where we might have room.’

“I was like, ‘Whoa.’ I started thinking that if the door opens you have to think about (going through) it sooner rather than later.”

But Marsh needed help, because fyp courses are team-taught. He found Peg Kelsey Cornwell, who was offering a community-based learning fyp course. With Cornwell in place, Marsh became the only ecac hockey coach who was also teaching a required undergraduate course.

“She helped me out so much,” he said.

“She was only here for one more year, though.”

Cornwell’s husband, Grant ’79, became president of Wooster College. Marsh needed someone else to teach with. He approached mathematics professor Patti Fraser Lock.

“I knew him. I had spoken to him, but we weren’t close friends,” Lock said. “I happened to see him at a social event. He said he was looking for a teaching partner.”

Lock accepted, taking a share of the reins of the course, titled Having an Impact: Leadership, Teamwork and Motivation. She helped Marsh and their third team member, John Pezdek ’03, who was assistant golf coach when he joined the trio but is now assistant director of alumni and parent programs, learn subtler approaches to teaching in the classroom, delivering material in various ways to help make the course enjoyable for both the professors and students.

“The first question we got the first year we did it was, ‘So are we going to beat Clarkson this year?’” Lock said. “The students quickly learned it’s about the course; it’s about talking about the readings; it’s about seeing what we can learn. All three of us have a lot to say on the topic.”

Marsh added a community-based learning requirement to the course. Each student must volunteer with an organization in the community. Students have volunteered at the Ogdensburg Boys and Girls Club, organic farms and Meals on Wheels, among other organizations.

“That was really Joe’s push,” Lock said.

“The students, even though they might gripe, all say it’s one of the best things about the course. Many of them keep doing it after they’re done.”

Each professor is also responsible for academic advising for a portion of the class.

In Marsh’s case, that’s 17 students. The trio decided to split the class evenly, and all the grading is done the same way.

“This is a course on leadership and motivation, which makes it plausible for me to do it,” Marsh said. “I don’t have a Ph.D., but I’ve coached for a lot of years.” F Adapted originally for St. Lawrence, the magazine of St. Lawrence University, Fall 2010, copyright St. Lawrence University with permission from an article by Daniel J.

correction to last issue: Janet Coombs, wife of Richard Coombs ’47 is the niece of Maurice Smith, not the daughter of Maurice Smith as was reported in the previous issue of the Hamptonia. Additionally Maurice Smith was the brother of Fred Smith ’10, former Headmaster, not his son. Appreciation is extended to Fred Smith ’45 for providing the correct information.

Jefferson Hodges and T. Holmes Moore ’38 exchanged e-mail correspondence last winter. Jeff reminded Bud that after he graduated from New Hampton School, he attended Trinity College for three years before shifting his attention to the Unviersity of Denver where he earned his mba. He originally joined Sealtest Foods in New York City but choose to live and work instead in West Hartford, Connecticut, where he began an upscale gift shop, which was expanded and branched out to include direct importing from Europe. He later became a professional chef and worked for a Marriott Hotel before retiring. He remembers the nhs days of Glee Club and Double Quartet and still studies music, a lifelong passion.

George Ahl informed the Alumni Office that he completed writing his book in July of 2010. The title is Northwest Connecticut 17th and Early 18th Centuries. The book’s main character is Rev. Thomas Hooker, a founder of Connecticut and the author of the Fundamental Orders, which is the first written Constitution for government by the will of the people. George traveled to 25 towns and villages over two years to study this history and found it to be a wonderful experience. He sends his best to Bud and Jinga.

Bob Lyons recently connected with the Alumni Office, sharing, “I had hoped to be in New England this past summer, but my wife and I decided to spend five weeks at the U. of Minnesota campus at Duluth.

It got us away from the Arizona heat and allowed us to enjoy an important remembrance: We had taken a bus with our bikes, and touring gear to Duluth from Maine in 1980. We biked to Lake Itasca, the source of the Mississippi, and headed in a roundabout direction, following the river, toward Venice, Louisiana, at the Gulf of Mexico.

Jen had to return to Connecticut and her job but biked 995 miles to the Quad Cities. I continued on and made it to Venice. It was a real treat to drive those first miles from Duluth to Itasca! I just had two

stop by this summer for a visit during a trip to New Hampshire and Maine. He recalls Headmaster Fred Smith ’10 as well as T. Holmes ’38 and Jinga Moore, whose children were quite young when Edmund was a student here. After graduating from nhs, Edmund attended and graduated from Tufts University in 1955 and was shortly thereafter inducted into the U.S. Army. After his military discharge, he relocated to La Jolla, California, and graduated from law school. During his career, he worked for various trust offices in San Diego and Santa Barbara, retiring from Northern Trust bank in 1998. Each year Edmund and his wife Jo Ann travel to Vail and Beaver Creek and he was happy to share an impromptu meeting with fellow nhs alumna, Lois Dehls Cornell ’75 and her husband Linc, as they were patrons at the same restaurant in Vail. Lois and Edmund shared many pleasant New Hampton School memories during their shared dining experience.

54 Chester “Chet” Nichols II is setting up a drilling program for uranium in Texas where he first drilled for Union Carbide in 1968. The drilling permit was to be submitted in late spring of 2011 and took several individuals many months to put the massive document together.

Nichols wrote, “Be assured that the

environment will be protected to the nth degree!”

57 George McEvoy recently returned from the Bahamas and upon sorting through his mail and reading the most recent issue of the Hamptonia, shared the following, “I read with interest, the article ‘The Big Wind of ’38: A Lesson Learned.’

Actually, I was born in Worcester just twenty days before the storm hit. In those days, newborns remained in the hospital for approximately five days before returning home, and when one did return home, all drinking water had to be boiled as a safety precaution in that era. So, just before the storm actually hit Worcester, an ambulance was sent to my parents’ house to return my mother and me to the hospital as a safety precaution, as they knew there would be a lengthy power outage very shortly in the City. My father reports that while riding through Lincoln Square on the way back to Memorial Hospital on Belmont Street, he looked out of the rear window of the ambulance, just in time to witness the steeple of the Baptist Church lifting off the building and then crashing through the roof of the structure where it remained for quite some time. So naturally, I found this article by Mr. Meloney so very fascinating.” A small world indeed!

My ’35 Woodie

My father used to drive my sister and me to school in a ’35 Ford Station Wagon, but then he got a new ’49 Ford and shut the garage door on the old woodie. Maybe he hoped I’d find it someday and fix it up. I was fourteen and a half when I did, and he didn’t say yes, but he never said no, either.

All my friends checked it out. John Reed and Jim Lombard said it could be the hottest car on the Central Coast, something any surfer would give his gnarly left knee for. I tried to start it, but it wouldn’t turn over; the station two blocks down the street told me the battery was good. I got a crescent wrench and took the head off: the cylinders were corroded from a leak in the gasket.

I took the grommets and screws out of the sides and replaced them with stainless steel ones. I sanded the birdseye maple sides and put on some marine varnish. It was rotten underneath the auxiliary wheel, and Parke Kooser, who owned Built Right Lumber, milled a replacement at no charge. Mr. Kooser was

my kind of guy—a Princeton grad like my father, he liked his martinis straight up.

Actually, I figured Mr. Kooser made the biggest mistake in his life not charging me.

My gosh, he had four kids: Ellie, who was bigger than he was in height and girth, ended up marrying Ira, a puny ne’er-do-well from Hollywood; Julie, who married a San Francisco investment banker—they’re probably practicing their golf swings in Boca Raton; Bill, who was a year younger than me and went to Wesleyan—he was killed in a motorcycle accident somewhere in Europe when he was a junior; and Curtis, who was smart as hell, went to Caltech, and has been working for the irs ever since. I never had any dealings with him; he probably came across my returns and chucked them, as any self-respecting guy would do.

For an engine, I cannibalized a ’49 Ford that had seen better days.

While my friends were sanding the original green paint off the body, I decided to paint it black and the spoked wheels tire engine red.

I spent most of my hard-earned money from mowing lawns getting it tuned up. Finally it ran, and it ran real, real, good.

Shortly thereafter, my parents sat me down and said it would be good if I went East to school. My girlfriend, Gail, whose father owned Cecil’s Jewelry Store, lobbied my parents on my behalf, but the following fall, I went to New Hampshire, leaving Gail behind and the ’35 Ford Station Wagon back in the garage.

When I returned for the summer, I discovered that Gail had left me for a freshman at ucsb. That August, during the annual Fiesta, I invited all my friends to ride with me and harass the revelers. They’d all been drinking, and when the police pulled me over for making an illegal turn, the officer not only ticketed me, but said, “If I ever catch you and your underage, inebriated friends riding in this station wagon again, I am going to impound the car and throw you and all your friends in the drunk tank.”

I put a For Sale ad in the paper the next day, and a dude who worked for an electronics firm bought it for $500 cash. Old Parke Kooser was still sipping his straight-up Martini, and I cannot repeat what my father said to me.

I still see my ’35 Ford Station Wagon driving around when I visit Santa Barbara, which is not all that often.

because he will be out of the country. Since Michael’s retirement from college teaching three years ago, he spends his winters in Vail, Colorado.

A friend of his skiied this past winter with Penny Pitou, who won silver medals in the downhill and giant slalom at the winter Olympics in Squaw Valley in 1960. Michael met up with them for an apres-ski drink.

Back in the winter of 1960–61, Penny coached the nhs ski team (of which Michael was a member) along with John Conkling P’82, ’85, ’89 (former faculty). While Penny didn't recognize Michael, she did remember the New Hampton ski hill with its own rope tow and the picture that appeared in the 1961 yearbook of her, John and the ski team. She’s still friendly with John and talked about his family. As for life after New Hampton, Michael continued his skiing, never missing a season in 50 years. Academically, he went on to teach mathematics for 40 years.

62 Thomas Steinmetz is retired and living in Park City, Utah, home of the best powder snow in the country.

He skis three to four times a week in the winter and enjoys golf, biking, and hiking in the summer. In spring and fall, he and his wife Barbara live in Washington, DC. He stated that life in DC is as different from Utah as it gets. Two years ago, Thomas and Barbara went to the presidential inauguration and met President Obama. They enjoy the city life in

Thomas’s son, Bill, is working and living in Seattle where he is a software developer. Barbara’s daughter, Jenny, is in Santa Barbara, California, and her son, Brian, is in New York.

Brian’s daughter, Mia, is their first grandchild.

63 Kevin Kavanagh and Jim Noonan took the ferry to Martha’s Vineyard and saw John McSweeney. John resides at the Windemere Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Oak Bluffs. John had a stroke a few years back and then another in the fall of 2010. He told Kevin and Jim some old stories as his mind is good, but his left side is mostly paralyzed. His spirits are remarkably good and he has a significant other, Victoria, who pays very special attention to him.

Kevin and Jim planned to go back in April of 2011 and break him out for a road trip and lunch on the island.

John Powell contacted the Alumni Office to request contact information for members of his class following Reunion 2011. He would like to follow up on conversations that he started over the weekend.

He stated that he had a “great time” and was glad he made the drive.

Matthew Hinzpeter writes: “Please tell all of my brothers in the class of 1968 how great it was to see them at our Reunion a few years back. It was as though time had stood still and we were all at New Hampton just like it was those many years before. I think of them often. I wish them all the very best and want them to know how much it meant to me to see them all again. Be well.”

70 John Horton writes: “I missed Reunion but was able to fly from the Detroit area to New Hampton during the 2011 Bike Week. We arrived at T.H. Moore and Jinga’s 1780-era home on Thursday, June 16. They filled my wife Pat and me in on what the School is doing and what it is all about. Then they rode with us to campus and showed what they had been talking about. The pleasant evening was concluded with a delightful dinner at a restaurant located toward Bristol. You have to understand how many people love the Moores. Half a dozen people stopped at the table, usually introduced someone or brought their spouse just to say “hello” and say how nice it was to see them. Due to it being Bike Week, there weren’t many rooms easily findable so the Moores’ frog (formal/furnished room over the garage) was offered and gratefully accepted. I missed the chance to see Beth and Rodney Bascom ’70 and their home due to getting into town late and Friday being a workday. We drove to Plymouth, New Hampshire, Waterbury (Ben and Jerry’s) and Underhill, Vermont (where my family was holding a reunion). All in all, it was a terrific five days with only six hours of rain.”

71 Raymond Brewster contacted the Alumni Office to inform them that he could not attend his upcoming 40th Reunion at New Hampton School. He passes on his best regards and good wishes to all of his classmates and hopes to make it back for his 50th. He has been in touch with Cindy Buck, of the Alumni Office, along with classmates Steve Lindquist and John Moran. He also recently renewed contact with former New Hampton School English teacher Denny Blodget, who lives in Danby, Vermont, and keeps in touch with former faculty member Tom Diehl.

His organization is still cleaning up the mess following the floods that struck his whole town and nearby Montpelier during Memorial Day weekend. Ray’s daughters, Emma and Ariel, are 23 and 28, respectively. They first attended Northeastern University and New York University and then both transferred to Cornell and earned his undergraduate degrees there. Ariel went on to a graduate degree in journalism from Columbia University. She lives in Toronto and spent a couple of years on the staff of Toronto Life and now edits Eye Weekly, an alternative newspaper. Emma lives in Seattle, Washington and works for the Puget Sound Food Network, a local foods information organization. Ray’s brother, Tim Brewster ’69, attended Reunion a couple of years ago and reported that the Memorial Hall food is much improved, and apparently they got rid of the ice-cold metal trays.

As a key member of the Class of 1971 Reunion Committee, Stephen Lindquist writes: “Reunion Weekend for the class of 1971 began at 6 pm on Friday, June 3, at a reception hosted by the school, which was attended by many, including the Rice House lodgers, fellow classmates Rob Kennedy, John MacLeod, Clancy Philipsborn, Nick Richmond, Steve Lindquist and Matt Rutter (along with Matt’s son Malcolm).

Northern California climate. They often question, ‘How do you San Francisco Bay Area residents experience and characterize your summer?’ We explain, ‘we live and work in a cold fog.’ We experience sensations and share memories similar to those we created years ago while attending New Hampton School! Like when you would breath deeply when participating in a 15K cross country ski competition that is held in twenty-four degrees below zero temperatures and when you are cooled down with frozen California orange slices and provided a thickened cup of New Hampshire honey. For some obvious reasons, at this juncture, our inquisitive conversations usually drift or become juxtaposed. So… I wish to extend my best wishes to all classmates, alumni, faculty, staff, and parents. Please come to San Francisco and experience the fog for yourself.”

Whitney Ward writes: “Since retiring from Invesco as a global partner in 2000, I have been involved in a biotech and an oil company start-up, both in Canada.

Meg Energy and Resverlogix are now publicly traded and after 10 years on the board of both, I am now free to enjoy our home in the Vail Valley in Colorado and our home in Naples, Florida (where I have lunch every Wednesday with my 86-year-old father (another nhs alum!). I also still remain involved in a variety of real estate ventures in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. But as we all know, the important part is family. My daughter is a professor of Marine Biology at the University of Miami, my oldest son is an emt and ski patrolman at Snowmass, CO, and my youngest son is married and lives in Dallas, Texas. Any old friends that want to go mountain bike riding in Colorado or fishing in Naples should give me a call. I have had calls from a few nhs alumni that I am remiss in returning, but I look forward to connecting at some point soon.”

I live in Chiba prefecture, which is couple hundred miles south of Touhoku area where the damages concentrated. The damages from the earthquake were very little where I live. Although we still have difficulty in electric power, e-mail, shortage of gasoline and food and so on. It is nothing compared to the victims of this great earthquake and tsunami. There is something I want the people of the U.S. to know.

Since the early stages of this catastrophe, US fleets have been staying in the still dangerous water to help the victims of the earthquake and tsunami. It is great to have a good friend like New Hampton School and the United States in a time of crisis or in time of peace. If there are students who are from Japan having a hard time contacting their families, please let me know. Any other way that I can be of help to the school or to the students let me know. With a friend like New Hampton School and United States, we shall overcome this difficult time. Best wishes and thank you again for your concern.”

Moving to New Durham with Rich led to a 10 year nursing career at Wentworth Douglass Hospital in Dover, where Phebe was proud to be part of the skilled and dedicated OR service. So many close friendships endured to this day. She cared for all animals but had a special love for her horses and two Jack Russell terriers, Macy and Millie. She and Rich found their dream home at Miller Farm in New Durham and lived life to the fullest. Quickly a new horse barn was built, Maple Sugaring became an annual event, and an apple and peach orchard was plant-

ed on their 40-acre piece of heaven.

Family, friends and neighbors all found Miller Farm a destination of peace, artistic expression, and fun.

From hand painting gourds and rocks to sitting quietly on the hill, to picking apples, she shared her love of life with everyone. Phebe, the ultimate caregiver, friend, and teacher had keen insight and observation skills. She discovered that horses served as a conduit for connecting and communicating with youngsters and sharing their unconditional love. A kind word, a good deed, and some horse love are eternal. Heaven has horses of all colors, and one is surely waiting for Phebe. A celebration of Phebe's life was held at the New Hampton Community Church in New Hampton, New Hampshire in July of 2011. Q

I feel such a warmth of emotion to the School and I know we can “go beyond” and do so much more in the future. Thank you, Dean and Bo for your unwavering commitment to New Hampton School.

There is a direct correlation between faith in the School’s direction and the financial support the institution enjoys.

If Dean’s pledge is any indication, New Hampton School has never looked stronger. In the coming months, GO BEYOND will enter its final phase with a clear focus on the restoration of Meservey Hall.

The $4.5M Meservey restoration project will require faith and support from the entire nhs community as we move forward and create a reshaped learning space for generations of students to come. I hope you will join me, Dean and

donors making a difference dean jacobson ’68, makes a $2m pledge for a new hockey rink A three-sport athlete in soccer, ice hockey, and lacrosse at New Hampton before matriculating to Colgate University, Dean is the owner of BoDeans Baking, the country’s leading producer of specialty ice cream cones and chocolate ice cream sandwich wafers. A four-year student at New Hampton who came to NHS from Long Island, Jacobson had not returned to New Hampton until 2008, when he attended a celebration for Headmaster Emeritus T. Holmes Moore’s 70th reunion.

Why are you committed to giving back to New Hampton School?

First, I had four great years at nhs and that contributed to what I am today.

Second, I became re-engaged with the school a few years ago and have been increasingly impressed with the leadership of Andrew and his team.

And of course, as the chairman of the GO BEYOND campaign, I thought I should put my money where my mouth is. In the end, this seemed like an appropriate way to send a strong message to other donors that nhs is a great investment. We need to get Meservey and the rink done.

On the need for a new Hockey Rink I won the Gall Hockey Award. At night, we sprayed the rink with water and shoveled off the snow. Even back then, I always felt we should cover the rink and that obviously happened. I saw the rink in the condition it is now, and it is clear we need to upgrade the whole facility to improve the image of the School. We’ve had a strong hockey program for 30 years, and now we need a world-class arena to support our great programs.

On his experience at NHS I was a kid from Long Island from a tough neighborhood. I was a tough kid. My nhs experience went a long way to smooth out rough edges I had as a young kid of 14. It tamed me, made me more civilized in terms of interacting with people. Second, I was in three sports at nhs. That was mandatory. That really fostered the person I am today. Working with coaches and players, I learned to compete and win—that was a big step, a big fact, in my life. I live by those principles today, and they were brought out at nhs.

On NHS Hockey Players and a new Rink I hope and trust that everybody who ever skated at nhs would share my dream to have a world-class hockey arena. By being a lead donor, this is my opportunity to help make that dream a reality, but we need everyone’s help. If you skated on nhs ice— on the rink, on the pond, we need your help. This is a breakthrough moment. This rink will be there for a long time. So to my fellow hockey players I say: it is time to step up, let’s make it happen! r

focus on endowment the barbara guardenier master teaching chair in science The Barbara Guardenier Master Teaching Chair in Science was established in 2010. It is also the first of its kind at New Hampton School. This chair and associated professional development funds will be awarded every three years to a member of the New Hampton School Science faculty who represents the highest tradition of science teaching, as embodied by longtime faculty member Barbara Guardenier.

Excellent teaching is at the heart of a New Hampton School education. Endowed chairs in support of faculty serve the school by underwriting the operations of the institution. Endowed chairs will underwrite a portion of the recipient’s salary and serve as an honor for the selected faculty member.

Former Faculty Barbara Guardenier, Jessica Kang ’02, the first Guardenier Master Teaching chair recipient, and Andrew Menke

The award is given to the science faculty member, who demonstrates the best qualities of this spirited teacher through her or his

compassion, tenacity, and above all dedication to the teaching of science.

This year’s recipient was Jessica Kang ’02. Her colleagues describe her as dedicated, unassuming, and multi-talented. She began studying science here at New Hampton School as a four-year student. Even then she stood out among her peers and received the Meservey Medal, nhs’s highest honor, before going on to receive her Zoology degree at the University of New Hampshire.

Upon completing her undergraduate work and a Master’s degree in Education, she returned to teach at New Hampton School, where she was an early advocate for the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program and continues to help develop the curriculum as an IB Biology teacher.

During her four-year tenure as a faculty member, she has taught a range of student abilities, interests, and courses as diverse as Physics. She can be seen after hockey or soccer practice dutifully at her classroom in the Pilalas Center for Math and Science, giving extra help sessions, preparing the next day’s labs, or developing new lessons to help her students better understand the subject she so openly cherishes. r

from the advancement committee chair Dear Friends, My son, Grant ’11, just received his New Hampton School diploma in May. We could not be more proud of his many accomplishments and are extremely grateful for the tremendous support he received during his time on New Hampton School’s campus. Over the past four years, we have watched Grant evolve and mature in ways we never imagined when we first stepped foot on campus. We feel honored that our family has been a part of the School’s growth, and we know Grant’s experience was made better because of the generous support of the New Hampton School family of donors.

It brings me great pride to share with you the figures of the 2010–11 State of the School Report. New Hampton School received $1,931,538 in gifts this fiscal year, allowing the school to surpass its fundraising goals.

The New Hampton School Annual Fund sailed beyond the $950,000 unrestricted goal raising a grand total of $1,054,640. You will see on the following pages the hundreds of names it takes to accomplish all New Hampton School has achieved this past year.

Propelled by the $100,000 “We’re All In Challenge,” the 2010–11 Annual Fund realized a record-number 1,237 donors, surpassing the necessary 1,000 donors to reach the Challenge. The entire New Hampton School community thanks those who made it a priority to participate in this exciting initiative.

In its fourth year, GO BEYOND: The Campaign for New Hampton School—the largest capital campaign initiative in the School’s history—continued to move forward. With gifts totaling over $27,025,199 toward our $30.6 million goal, we remain focused on the next phase to raise $4.5 million for the restoration of Meservey Hall. For more in-depth information, please turn to the Campaign Reporter (page 67) to read about exciting GO BEYOND updates.

Each year, the School relies heavily on the volunteers who give gifts of time and energy. Alumni serving as Class Agents have dou-

bled, 24 current students participated in Annual Fund phonathons; over 30 people served as Reunion Committee members; current parents organized auctions and exam bakes, and provided winter carnival assistance; our Grandparent Fund Chairs helped to double the number of grandparent donors; and the list continues! We are deeply grateful for nhs community members who care to make a difference in the life of our school. New Hampton School is thriving because of the participation of so many individuals!

Each year, the Annual Report highlights the fundraising success of New Hampton School; but more important, are the countless individuals who chose to participate this year with gifts of time and resources.

Because of your donation, we are a healthy and vibrant school on the move. Thank you for participating this year!

endowment report 2010–11: from the chairman of the endowment commitee The New Hampton School Endowment Fund (EF) continued to provide a meaningful measure of support to school operations. For the 2011 fiscal year, which ended on June 30, the Fund provided approximately $430,000 to the School to offset expenses representing approximately 3.4% of the operational budget. Of this amount, approximately $130,000 was designated for scholarship, a small percentage dedicated to specific, restrictive uses, and the bulk of the remainder for general school expenses.

The Endowment’s value on June 30, had appreciated to $11.1 million from the prior fiscal year’s end value of approximately $8.7 million. The Fund’s growth can be attributed to excellent market performance—over 25%—and the receipt of very generous gifts from friends and alumni.

The Board of Trustees’ guidelines for EF investments are diversified both globally and across the different, but traditional investment strategies, including equities and fixed income. All of the strategies are long-term in nature and none involve the use of leverage. The Endowment Committee periodically reviews the Fund’s performance and allocates assets among the different options available. With the exception of cash and cash alternatives, all of the Fund’s assets are invested in registered mutual funds managed by American Funds.

Over the years, and during the 2011 fiscal year as noted, the School has been very fortunate to receive bequests and donations for the EF from alumni, parents, faculty, and friends. Specific accounts in the Fund have been and may be created to support all manners of school initiatives, or in tribute to faculty, alumni, and friends. The School has been diligent in adhering to the various conditions and restrictions imposed by the donors in order to fulfill their intention to benefit New Hampton School both in the present and the future. To preserve the assets, the Board’s guidelines limit annual distributions

from the Endowment to the School to a small percentage of the Endowment average asset value, a parameter that is fairly standard among endowment funds.

The New Hampton School Endowment continues to play a pivotal role in helping the School achieve its mission to educate students to become global citizens. During these continuing volatile markets and recognizing the limitations of tuition revenues, the Board of Trustees has strongly supported the absolute need to increase and strengthen our Endowment Fund. It is intended to exist in perpetuity for the benefit of the institution, its students, and faculty, and to support the work of the School today while growing to support its needs in the future.

Your experience at New Hampton School was made possible by the generosity and commitment of alumni, parents, and friends. The School faces an ever-changing environment of global opportunities and challenges that would have been hard to imagine thirty or forty years ago. To succeed, it must be prepared. Your contributions to build a strong endowment are critical to this mission.

Respectfully,

Pilalas ’58, Trustee Sandy Colhoun, Director of Development, Sta= Liason Jill Duncan, Director of Finance, Sta= Liason For more information about New Hampton School’s endowment fund, capital gifts or estate planning, please contact Sandy Colhoun, Director of Development at 603-677-3413; scolhoun@newhampton.org.

student phonathon program dials up Twenty-four volunteer student callers, five phonathons,  pledges,  first-time donations, and , raised—to say the Student Phonathon Program was dialed up this year is an understatement! A dedicated group of the student body made it a priority this year to help raise money for their school by calling and asking nhs alumni to support the School’s Annual Fund and the , Participation Challenge. Also, a “student-only” phonathon was held in December at which time a new training video was filmed and edited by nhs sophomores Jeremy Seigle ’ and Owen White ’.

Wanting to provide a more visual way of training to make Annual Fund calls, the humorous and informative video created by students adds another level of sophistication to the student calling program. The creativity, enthusiasm, and eagerness displayed by our student callers raised the level of productivity at the phonathons this year.

Not only are phonathons imperative to helping reach nhs Annual Fund goals each year, but the opportunity it provides current students to speak with alumni all over the country is a terrific way to enhance the nhs network. The next time your phone rings, please take the time to speak with our enthusiastic student callers and share with them stories from your own nhs experience!

manitou circle: new hampton school classes 1929–61 The Manitou Circle was created in June  as a way to honor New Hampton School’s most distinguished alumni. The Manitou Circle honors members of the alumni community who have surpassed their th Reunion milestone. This group is celebrated during Reunion Weekend at a breakfast hosted by Head of School Andrew Menke. The legendary T. Holmes Moore ’ presented New Hampton School with a check in the amount of ,, reflecting the collective donations of the Manitou Circle to the School’s Annual Fund. We are deeply grateful for the help of Phil O’Hara ’, GP’, and Bob Pollard ’, who lead the Manitou Circle gift effort. If you are a member of the Manitou Circle, we hope you will join us for the annual breakfast that takes place each year during Reunion Weekend!

supporting the international baccalaureate program: new hampton school class of 1961 The Class of  th Reunion Committee—comprised of Chair, Karl Smith ’, Bill Fisher ’, Bob Greene ’, Geoff Hickin ’, George Robinson ’, and Fred Tripp ’—set out to establish a gift in perpetuity to New Hampton School in honor of their milestone th Reunion. Understanding the critical role the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program (ibp) will play in setting New Hampton School apart from its peer schools and wanting to make the ibp accessible to all students, the class established an endowment fund to directly support the students in this program.

The committee led an extraordinary campaign to raise , to name an endowed fund in support of the IB Program. Receiving gifts and pledges from  classmates, the class achieved their , goal, raising a total of ,. Additionally, their class participation grew from  to  in one year!

On behalf of a grateful school, we all extend our thanks to the Class of  for creating this lasting gift for the students and faculty of New Hampton School.

new hampton school’s class agent program doubles in size Over the past year the New Hampton School Class Agent Program has nearly doubled in size! Class Agents are members of the alumni community who possess strong loyalty to the School and passion to help New Hampton achieve greater fundraising success. Class Agents are eager to give back to their alma mater by supporting the School’s Annual Fund and encouraging their classmates to do the same.

With only  Class Agents last year, New Hampton School is fortunate to now have over ! Ranging from the Class of  to the Class of , Class Agents serve the School by writing letters, making phone calls, sending emails and posting reminders on Facebook. Class Agent outreach is helping to increase alumni participation. This year, in particular, it was an important factor in successfully reaching the , “We’re All In Challenge.” We are extremely grateful for the terrific work our Class Agents are doing by sharing their enthusiasm for New Hampton School and by supporting today’s students!

If you are interested in serving as a Class Agent, we’d love your help. Please contact Sarah DeBenedictis, Director of Annual Giving at --; sdebenedictis@newhampton.org.

leaving their mark in stone: the class of 2011

The Class of  will always be remembered not just for their strong cohesiveness, but also for the beautiful granite bench they donated to the School. Led by a dedicated group of classmates, the Class of  set a goal to raise  to purchase the bench as their Senior Class Legacy Gift. With great enthusiasm and determination, they raised an impressive  in cash donations, surpassing their goal by  percent. Receiving donations from  members of their class, they achieved  percent participation.

The granite bench is a fitting reminder of the strength found in numbers and the true power of participation!

grandparent fund chairs: george and diane kidd, grandparents of will ’12 and charlie ’14 callif George and Diane Kidd (Will ’ and Charlie Callif ’) stepped into the Grandparent Fund Chair role this year eager to make an impact.

And they have done just that. Their outreach to New Hampton School grandparents has made a significant difference. In just one year, total grandparent donors have increased by  percent. “nhs offers an experience that our grandchildren will benefit from for the rest of their lives,” explains George Kidd. “Over the past three years, we have watched our grandson, Will, mature into a selfmotivated young man. And, our younger grandson, Charlie ’, has shown tremendous growth in just one year both academically and athletically.

“We have been so happy with our grandsons’ experiences at nhs that we jumped at the chance to once again serve as the Grandparent Fund Chairs. The confidence we have in Head of School Andrew Menke, his talented team, and the opportunities offered to our grandsons, are some of the many reasons we make giving to the nhs Annual Fund a priority.”

New Hampton School is deeply grateful for the commitment George and Diane have made to raising awareness about the School and encouraging grandparents to play a role in their grandchild’s experience by participating in the Annual Fund.

100% faculty and staff participation in 2010–11 annual fund For the first time in New Hampton School history,  percent of faculty and staff supported the School with a donation. There is no stronger endorsement of the School than the collective voices of our dedicated faculty and staff.

This year’s success stems directly from the hard work of our tremendous Faculty and Staff Fund volunteers: Johnny Buck, Kathleen Howe P’, Maureen Huber, Mel Martel P’, Cory McClure, and Matt Wright. Their enthusiasm was contagious campus-wide, and led to the results they have been working to achieve for several years.

New Hampton School faculty and staff, the heart and soul of our community, have raised the bar for participation and should be a model for all to follow. We salute our faculty and staff for their unwavering support of all areas of school life. Faculty and staff support sends a strong message of confidence and enthusiasm for the future of our school and its students.

1821 society The strength of New Hampton School’s future endowment depends in large part upon the foresight and support of those alumni, parents, and friends who have chosen to include the school in their estate plans. The 1821 Society serves to acknowledge their confidence and vision.

We encourage others to join those honored here who recognize the value of sharing their legacy. By indicating your intentions to remember New Hampton School in your estate plans, you earn membership in the 1821 Society.

Annual Fund donations support financial aid, faculty and staff salaries, the upkeep of our beautiful buildings and grounds, athletic teams that wear the Husky green with pride, talented artists, and our signature academic programs that help to distinguish the New Hampton School experience.

International Baccalaureate Program (IB)/Global Initiatives: encourages international mindedness and emphasizes development of the whole student—physically, intellectually, emotionally, and ethically.

Experiential Learning: creates meaningful environments in which authentic learning occurs beyond the classroom setting.

Athletics: strives for excellence by providing opportunities for physical, emotional, and intellectual growth in each of our student-athletes at all levels of competition.

Faculty and Staff Professional Development: allows faculty members to develop and collaborate professionally within their field of expertise.

Visual and Performing Arts: offers students opportunities for selfawareness, self-expression, and artistic growth in a safe environment that promotes both skill development and personal character.

Residential Life: supports a healthy and rich living experience for boarding students, making them feel at home and part of a family.

Financial Aid: provides access to a New Hampton School education for the most talented and deserving youth.

Technology: offers cutting-edge tools and necessary skills critical to learning in the 21st century and beyond.

Academic Support Program (ASP): helps students build confidence in learning through skill development, providing greater awareness of themselves as learners.

General Annual Fund: choosing to not designate your donation allows New Hampton School to use your gift where the need is greatest.
