IF ONLY NYA’S FOUNDING FAMILIES COULD SEE US NOW! LETTER FROM BRAD CHOYT, HEAD OF SCHOOL In February of 1814, Caleb Strong, then Governor of Massachusetts, signed the charter that created North Yarmouth Academy for the purpose of encouraging an understanding and appreciation of “literature in the rising generation.” Such an education was seen as “the basis upon which the safety and happiness of a free people ultimately depended.”

If only NYA’s founding families could see us now! In so many ways, what they would witness if they strolled down Main Street would seem to come from another world: state-of-the-art science labs; teachers and students strumming bluegrass music or singing Broadway songs; Middle School students penning Mandarin characters; a robotics team piloting its way to Nationals. Students as young as two or three shaking hands with their teachers as they start their days.

Two hundred years later, our daily life, interwoven with cars, smartphones and tweets, would be bound to strike them as fast and perhaps very foreign. Yet I nurture this hope: below the distracting surface, our first families would recognize the vital connections between their desires for a school they founded and the first-rate education we provide our students today.

In 1814, NYA’s founders intended to promote “education of youth in such languages and such liberal arts and sciences as the trustees shall direct,” and develop “piety and virtue.” While our culture’s diction has shifted, our essential aim has not. Our mission continues to resonate two centuries later, and we have remained dedicated to fostering the character, intellect and integrity of all our students.

In the pages that follow, we look back at our first two centuries and profile alumni from different eras who were shaped by our school and gave back in meaningful ways to their communities. As our history marches alongside all we do at NYA, we seek to foster equally powerful life stories with the current generations. With our superb faculty, staff and Trustees, it is both an honor and a delight to prepare for the next 200 years.

Throughout our Bicentennial year, we invite you to see NYA today.

Meet our wonderful students and faculty. Connect with old friends and make new ones. Join us as we explore and continue to expand the vision our Founders outlined on that February day so long ago to become a school that has both weathered the past very well and made room for an incredibly exciting future.

North Yarmouth Academy has maintained common values that have changed little throughout its 200 years.

Leaflets and catalogues from the 1800’s and 1900’s reflect a mission that rings true today. In looking back at our history, we find certain themes that are integral to life at NYA in the twenty-first century: college preparation; the close relationships between students and teachers; the importance of character development; a close-knit community; and a central role for physical health and athletics.

COLLEGE PREPARATORY SCHOOL In 1811, when the citizens of North Yarmouth petitioned Governor Caleb Strong to start North Yarmouth Academy, they wished to erect a “school-house in which youth of both sexes might have an opportunity of receiving a better education than common town schools generally afford…” NYA’s Classical Academy successfully prepared students for college, and by 1841, 71 students were enrolled at the Academy. The 1900 catalogue boasts, “The Academy points with pride to the record it has made, for the ability

4

C H R O N I C L E FA L L 2 0 1 3

of its teachers, and the attainments of its students. It has been notably strong as a preparatory school, and its catalogues show exceptionally large lists of students sent to college.” A leaflet from 1904-05 reports NYA students have gone on to: Amherst College, Brown University, Dartmouth College, Mount Holyoke College, Smith College, Tufts College, Bowdoin and many others. Both the desire to continue the process of lifelong learning and a healthy matriculation list mirror current graduating classes. NYA’s college counseling program today is both comprehensive and personalized.

NYA provides opportunities for students to investigate their interests and talents in order to make better decisions about choices beyond North Yarmouth Academy.

Alan H. Weld Principal, Classical Department 1835-1847 NYA Class of 1910

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TEACHER AND STUDENT The close relationships between faculty and students have been a hallmark of the NYA experience from the start. In 1846, Oliver Otis Howard (who later went on to found Howard University) explained, “…after my arrival I sat with a class of twelve bright looking young men facing Mr. Weld in a room filled with writing desks. He had become famous fitting boys for college. Mr. Weld gave me a searching examination after the class had been dismissed and told me if I was diligent I might possibly enter college in 1846.

His very manner aroused my ambition and made me determine to do everything in my power to accomplish that result” (from The Autobiography of General Oliver Otis Howard, vol. I, p 26-28).

A 1904-05 leaflet describes instruction at NYA as: “The Academy employs a sufficient number of teachers to give its pupils a much larger amount of individual attention than is obtainable in public schools of the same grade. These teachers are chosen with special reference to their qualifications to teach the subjects under their

charge, and so bring an active interest in their work which cannot fail to inspire the students.” Carefully selected, qualified faculty and individual attention were key components of NYA from its inception.

“The teacher student relationship here at NYA is like no other I have had in any of my other schools. Teachers here are more than willing to help students with anything that they need. If I ever need extra help with a subject, I know that I can always go to my teachers for it. The teachers here are dedicated to getting to know every student individually and care about every student’s personal opinion,” explained Lauren Tufts ’17.

THE IMPORTANCE OF CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT In 1842, George Woods, an 1833 graduate of NYA, came back as preceptor. In 1843 he wrote, “The moral habits and deportment of the students are regarded as of the highest importance.” A 1927-28 catalogue indicated that “character development is the supreme aim of all education, the Academy devotes much attention to this phase of the student’s growth. None but those of the best moral character are accepted with the result that the moral atmosphere of the school is of the best. In all courses especial (sic) attention is given to the development of qualities of leadership in the individual.”

Students today participate in experiential education programs and leadership activities such as schooner trips, kayaking, camping and hiking in the White Mountains. “The NYA community is a safe place in which students can take risks, fail and succeed, discover their passions, and learn how they fit not only at NYA, but into the wider world beyond,” explained Head of School Brad Choyt.

A STRONG COMMUNITY In 1976, a fire in Russell Hall caused the boarding program to cease.

Then in 1977, snow and ice caused the collapse of the ice arena. The 1977 yearbook dedication stated, “Instead of allowing these mishaps to defeat North Yarmouth Academy, the school has profited from the experience. The school has become united, with each of its members – parents, students, and faculty alike – showing that they can work together to strengthen and improve the school. For these reasons, we enthusiastically dedicate the 1977 Yearbook to the North Yarmouth Academy SCHOOL COMMUNITY.” The 1979 yearbook dedication read, “The important relationship among parents, trustees, alumni, and friends of NYA have been strongly encouraged and have stimulated enthusiasm for the school. The emphasis placed on extra-curricular activities, athletics, and tradition has increased our awareness and appreciation for the world around us.”

As in the past, community is a cornerstone of the NYA experience today. Community service is part of everyday life, whether it is a “dress down day” to benefit a charity; a senior service project; adopting needy families during holidays; or Project: Reach Out, a campus-wide service day. The closeness of the school community is also palpable at events such as homecoming, with its swaths of black and orange, and winter carnival.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND ATHLETICS FOR EVERYONE Athletics has always been integral to the NYA program. As early as 1831, physical activity was promoted. John Neal of Portland, one of the first to introduce gymnastic training to the country, provided a gymnastic apparatus for the Academy. The 1864 catalogue boasts of a fully operating gymnasium. A 1904-05 leaflet reports, “Through the winter term drill work in either Indian-clubs, dumb-bells, or singlestick practice is required of all who are physically able to take it.”

The 1927 catalogue states, “It is the belief of the staff that all pupils should participate in some form of athletic activity, and emphasis is placed more upon the participating of each and every student than upon the development of school teams.” The 1930 catalogue indicates the importance of “clean playing and good sportsmanship” is also emphasized.

Appreciation for the importance of athletic activity is evident throughout NYA’s history not only because of success on the fields but in the quality of the experiences. NYA currently offers 17 interscholastic sports with 50 separate teams, so everyone can participate. In the past 10 years NYA teams have won 48 Western Maine Conference championships, 35 state championships, 72 Western Maine Conference individual championships, and 76 state individual championships.

Other attributes of NYA today also prevailed throughout its 200 years including sophistication in writing, oration and artistic expression and appreciation for the natural environment. Although the language has changed throughout history, it is clear that NYA continues to set the standards its founders had hoped for.

HISTORICAL

ALUMNI PROFILES Lynn Sullivan’s Upper School U.S. history class selected and researched NYA alumni, one of many curricular connections made this year with the Bicentennial. Following are excerpts from several biographies from Ms. Sullivan’s class.

ISABELLA AND MARY PRINCE NYA CLASS OF 1842 AND 1845

CHARLES HENRY HOWARD NYA CLASS OF 1855

Isabella was born on October, 29, 1828 in New York City and died in 1912

Born in Leeds, Maine in 1838 and died on January 27, 1908

Mary was born in December of 1832 in North Yarmouth and died in 1918 Isabella Graham Prince and Mary Gray Prince were the daughters of the highly esteemed sea captain, Cushing Prince of North Yarmouth.

After graduating from NYA, the sisters moved to Japan to teach in a domestic arts school, which focused on skills for self-sufficiency and etiquette. They taught Princess Fushimi, who possessed advanced views and a western lifestyle. When they retired in their late eighties, Japanese nobility honored them with gifts and a letter that remarked on their incredible work at the school “and the good services [they] had done.” They returned to Maine where they lived until their deaths. They are buried in Yarmouth, Maine.

Charles Henry Howard graduated from Bowdoin College in 1859 and studied at the Bangor Theological Seminary for one year. When the Civil War broke out in 1861, he enlisted as a private in the 3rd Maine Infantry. He experienced the First Battle of Bull Run in Manassas, Virginia in 1861. He was one of a few men to command African-American soldiers during the War. This was challenging because of the prejudices and discrimination against AfricanAmericans and those who commanded them. After the war, he served in the Freedman’s Bureau, the US agency that aided newly freed men. The bureau was led by Charles’ older brother, 1846 NYA graduate, Oliver Otis Howard. Charles married Mary Catherine Foster in 1867, and fathered seven children.

CHARLES W. TILDEN NYA CLASS OF 1850

SUMNER INCREASE KIMBALL NYA CLASS OF 1851

Born on May 7, 1832 in Castine, Maine and died in 1914

Born on September 2, 1834 in Lebanon, Maine and died on June 20, 1923

In 1849, Tilden attended NYA for a year and studied composition, government, geography, and mathematics. He returned to Castine in 1850. A Master Mariner, he became wealthy purchasing and outfitting Grand Banks fishing schooners. In 1861, Tilden enlisted in the Union Army. A Colonel by 1863, he led the 16th Maine Infantry at the Battle of Gettysburg. Tilden sacrificed the 16th of Maine so the Union Army could establish a new critical line of defense on Cemetery Hill. That sacrifice saved the Union Army, but Tilden and his men were taken prisoner. Six months later, Tilden was one of 150 Union Soldiers to escape the notorious Libby Prison in Richmond, Virginia via the Rose Tunnel. This act was one of the most daring prison breaks of the Civil War. After the war, Tilden lived in Hallowell where he worked at the Hallowell Granite Company.

Sumner Increase Kimball was the founder and General Superintendent of the U.S. Life Saving Service and co-founder of the U.S. Coast Guard. He graduated from Bowdoin College in 1855 and became chief of the U.S. Revenue Marine Department in 1871. There in 1877, he developed a school for marine officers, which is the basis of today’s Coast Guard Academy. He created regulations, set criteria for physical standards, established station routines, and persuaded Congress to pay Coast Guard crews. Kimball was instrumental in constructing new guard stations along the coast, and equipping them with lifesaving equipment. These changes resulted in the U.S. Life Saving Service where Kimball was General Superintendent until he retired in 1915. Later, the U.S. Life Saving Service merged with the Marine Revenue Cutter Service to form today’s U.S. Coast Guard.

NYA LOWER SCHOOL Introducing NYA’s Lower School for Grades Pre-K Through 4

C H R O N I C L E FA L L 2 0 1 3

In May 2013, NYA officially announced the addition of a Lower School. Over the summer, faculty and staff were busy preparing for this new division including the renovation of a 3,500-square-foot building on NYA’s campus, formerly a rental property. By the first day of school, 52 students were enrolled and NYA was ready for them!

The decision to expand was a measured one. Initially, board members and key administrators from NYA met with teachers and administrators from Meadowbrook Montessori School in Freeport to explore the possibility of partnering. NYA’s Head of School Brad Choyt explained, “After meetings and visits to both schools, we recognized the great potential of such a partnership and began to develop a working model for a Lower School at NYA.” In May, NYA trustees approved the proposal based on the enrollment of 39 students and the likelihood of enrolling between 50 and 60 students for grades Pre-K through fourth by the fall. “We were thrilled with the excitement this generated in the community. The enthusiasm shown by potential families made our decision to move forward an easy one,” explained Steve Bachelder, president of NYA’s board of trustees.

NYA’s Lower School integrates Montessori methods through the second grade. In the third and fourth grades, the methodology continues to foster curiosity and motivation to learn while preparing for an easy transition to the Middle School. The Lower School students have full access to NYA’s 25-acre campus, including the playing fields, gymnasium, ice arena, music building, academic buildings, art studios and more. Students participate in music, foreign language, physical education and art as part of the curriculum.

Teachers in the Lower, Middle and Upper Schools work closely with one another on curriculum to prepare students as they move from one area of the school to the next, ensuring students are able to thrive at every level. Fifth grade teacher Shannon Gallagher explained, “It’s exciting to plan projects with Lower School classes.

It provides a wonderful opportunity for students to make friends across age/grade borders. It creates a strong community as students progress through campus milestones.” Middle and Upper School teachers are finding ways to include the Lower School students with their classes. Lead primary teacher Marnee Harke explained, “Mrs. Danielle [Barschdorf] invited us to view and touch her class fish from the Royal River, and the children came back talking about all the organisms. We had such a great time when the sixth graders invited us to watch their bottle rocket launch. One of our students went home and made their very own rocket. We hope to do more work with all levels of the school to grow the community awareness.” The Lower School teachers also expand the notion of

Renovated Lower School Building

a traditional classroom by offering opportunities for experiential learning and field research along the coast of Maine and on the shores of the Royal River. Lower School classes are often seen working on their lessons outside with their teachers.

“The goals of Montessori education include inspiring a love of learning, building self-confidence, fostering curiosity, and developing habits of initiative, concentration and persistence.

These goals are aligned with the mission of NYA and all that we strive to inspire in our students. As we enter our Bicentennial year, we see this new beginning at NYA as one that will strengthen the foundation of our school and offer myriad benefits and opportunities for our entire community,” explained Choyt. “The Lower School is a perfect way to welcome families into the NYA community early, laying the foundation for a lifelong relationship. The early Montessori education, followed by Upper Elementary transitional classes, prepares students for success all the way through to graduation from NYA and beyond,” noted Gallagher.

A grand opening and ribbon cutting was held on September 20, 2013. Lower School students were presented with stuffed panthers given to them by upperclassmen as a way to welcome them to the NYA community. Following the ribbon cutting, students released newly emerged monarch butterflies from the front porch of the new school. Perhaps the young black and orange butterflies were also emblematic of NYA’s newest - and littlest - panthers.

FLAHERTY 5K & KIDS FUN RUN The Second Annual Flaherty 5K was held on Saturday, June 1. The event began and ended on campus and wound through the streets of Yarmouth. Congratulations to Byrne Decker, this year’s winner! The race was immediately followed by a Kids Fun Run around NYA’s playing fields and ended with little ones ringing the bell.

This annual event raises money to support a scholarship in honor of Bud Flaherty, a beloved coach and teacher who was at NYA for over 40 years. Thank you to all participants, sponsors and volunteers who made this great event possible.

THE ORIGINS OF THE BLACK PANTHER AS OUR SCHOOL MASCOT (Cumberland County Conference) athletics. In a November 1951 column, Tamminen refers to the NYA basketball men as “Black Panthers.” This was our mascot’s first appearance in print.

NYA Archivist, Jay Robbins, of Robbins Historical Research wanted to know when and how NYA became the Panthers. The 1952 Noryaraca (NYA yearbook) refers to the men’s basketball team as the “Panthers,” and the 1954 Noryaraca sports a fully extended leaping panther on its cover. This is this first evidence uncovered.

Tamminen still lives nearby. Jay explained, “I phoned Dave here in Yarmouth, and he admitted to coming up with the name. He originally considered “Black Knights” but discarded that because it was already in use by West Point. Dave’s wife, Joanna (Sweetser) Tamminen ’54 and Judy Osborn ’53, wrote a song about the Black Panther to the tune of Jazz Pizzicato. Jay is still trying to uncover their work.

Further investigation yielded a scrapbook of newspaper columns written by Dave Tamminen ’52. Called the “Spotlite,” the column appeared weekly from 1951 to 1952 and covered Triple-C

LINC MERRILL

’75

Lincoln Merrill ’75 attended North Yarmouth Academy on a full scholarship because he wished to remain in Maine when his family planned to move to Massachusetts. When he was a senior, NYA encouraged him to apply early decision to Bowdoin. He reflects, “NYA focuses people. I was surrounded by good kids and faculty who gave me the drive and motivation to want to do well.” Linc can still recollect teachers who challenged him and made him think outside the box; a characteristic of NYA’s faculty that has remained consistent throughout the years. Linc gives much credit to NYA for his successes in life.

In 1975, Linc left NYA and didn’t look back—at least not right away. He reconnected when his business needed a home for extra office supplies.

NYA graciously accepted his donations, and soon Linc found himself meeting with school leadership. In 1996, he joined the Board of Trustees and since then has been deeply invested in the community. Two of Linc’s daughters also attended NYA. He was confident that they, too, would be held to a higher standard, both academically and ethically. “It’s a small, close knit community,

Providing Opportunity for Future Generations

and there is the opportunity and encouragement for students to be diversely involved, both inside and outside the classroom: volunteering, athletics, arts, and more.”

In addition to his service as a volunteer, Linc has given generously to NYA. One of Linc’s recent contributions is in honor of his brother, Scott, who passed away at age twenty.

The Scott Merrill Scholarship Fund supports students who will benefit from all NYA has to offer: “My brother was the model recipient of this scholarship; a good citizen, community oriented but an underperforming student, who, in the nurturing environment of NYA, would thrive.”

Linc believes in what NYA was, is, and will become. This belief inspires his support of the Annual Fund and the Scott Merrill Scholarship Fund. “I hope that all families whose kids received or are receiving the benefit of the school might provide that same opportunity for others.”

In recognition of his service in support of NYA, Linc was awarded the Cupola Award in 2013.

If there is a very familiar look to one of the actors in the nightclub scene of the movie The Heat, it is because the actress is a Maine native and NYA graduate. Cape Elizabeth resident Maeve Stier, a senior at Tufts University, plays a small but noticeable part in the hit movie. Featured prominently in the nightclub scene, Stier was cast after a scout for the film contacted her modeling agency last summer.

The NYA community was deeply saddened to learn that Samuel Robinson II, headmaster at NYA from 1981-1987, succumbed to cancer on January 6, 2013. During Sam’s tenure at NYA, the academic program flourished, the music program debuted and visual arts expanded. Experiential education became part of the curriculum, and NYA’s very first computer (an Apple II) arrived. During this time, NYA appointed its first Development Director and Business Manager. An ambitious capital campaign led to significant growth in the school’s endowment, improved faculty

compensation and the establishment of the faculty pension plan. Sam’s leadership and initiatives brought positive and permanent change to every facet of the NYA experience.

The Fahlgren Riley family, working with Sam’s children, decided that a bench on campus would be a fitting tribute to Sam. A granite bench, a gift from the Fahlgren Riley family, was installed in front of the Curtis Building in October.

A dedication ceremony will take place this spring.

MESSAGE FROM THE OFFICE OF

DEVELOPMENT & ALUMNI RELATIONS We all are familiar with the adage, “it is more powerful to give than to receive.” Apparently, many Americans agree. According to a report published by the Giving USA Foundation and the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy, individual charitable giving in the United States grew almost four percent last year.

Despite the overall slow recovery of the larger economy, U.S. donations to bolster education, the arts, health, religion and other activities totaled $316.2 billion in 2012, a four percent increase from the $305.5 billion donated in 2011.

The effect of this giving on nonprofits is obvious. The donations enable nonprofits to live their mission and expand their impact among the communities served. These organizations would not survive and thrive without philanthropic support. The reciprocal positive impact on the donor also is well documented. Giving makes us more connected, happier and healthier. A National Institute of Health study found that when people give to charities, it activates regions of the brain associated with pleasure, social connection, and trust, creating a “warm glow” effect. There also are numerous studies that link giving to better health. In a joint study by Johns Hopkins University and the University of Tennessee, people who provided social support to others had lower blood pressure than participants who did not, suggesting a direct physiological benefit to those who give of themselves.

This evidence suggests that giving matters – and strengthens both the giver and the receiver.

This is certainly the case at NYA. Over the past year, NYA’s friends and supporters have strengthened the school through their generous philanthropic support and active volunteerism. We are pleased to report that charitable giving to NYA in 2012-13 totaled $860,829. This figure includes unrestricted and restricted gifts and is 75% percent higher than in any of the previous seven years.

Some highlights from this record year: • 100% of our Faculty and Staff gave to the Annual Fund • 100% of our Board of Trustees supported the Academy • Alumni Annual Fund gifts increased by 50% • Grandparents increased their Annual Fund support by 98% • Alumni Parent Annual Fund gifts increased by 33% These gifts touched every aspect of daily life at NYA. They supported financial aid grants to qualified students; provided raises for our outstanding faculty and staff; transformed a historic building into our new Lower School; sent athletes to the state finals; installed new windows in Academy Hall; expanded our experiential education program; contributed new musical instruments to Higgins Hall; and renovated locker rooms in Travis Roy Arena. Most importantly, these gifts allowed NYA to provide each child with an outstanding education, developing independent thinkers who will value learning, creativity and the intellectual process throughout their lives.

My husband, Bob, and I support NYA because we believe in the mission and in the transformative power of education. Our sons are eighth graders at NYA, and every night at the dinner table, we hear tales that remind of us why we value this investment for our children. Perhaps you, too, believe in NYA, what it has meant to you or your family, or what it can mean to students in its next 200 years. NYA is grateful for the belief that you and other supporters have shown over the past year and for the many ways your gifts have strengthened our school.

Giving Gifts of Time & Talent North Yarmouth Academy could not possibly accomplish all that it does without the countless hours contributed by dedicated volunteers. The Academy is extremely fortunate to have committed alumni, trustees, parents, grandparents and friends who volunteer their time, talent and energy to help enrich the NYA experience for each student and the Academy at large.

A Gift That Always Fits Do you have an NYA teacher who made a difference in your life or a loved one who is celebrating a birthday or graduation? Perhaps someone close to you passed away? Make a donation in their honor or memory. NYA will send an acknowledgement of your gift to that specific person, friend or family member. Unless otherwise specified, these gifts will benefit the NYA Annual Fund and be recognized in our Annual Donor Listing. Please call the Development Office at (207)847-5422 for more information.

Thank you for your incredible support!

The 2012-13 Annual Report of Donors is published by the Development Office and lists gifts received between July 1, 2012 and June 30, 2013.

PLAN YOUR LEGACY Inspire and Engage Future Generations For Frank Knight ’25, creating a personal legacy through a bequest to NYA was a natural extension of his long-term dedication to the Academy. As an NYA parent, Trustee, and Yarmouth neighbor, Frank was deeply involved over his entire lifetime. When he passed away in 2012 at the age of 103, Frank included NYA in his estate plan. His legacy and generous gift helps to ensure that NYA will enrich the lives of students for generations to come.
