Acorn – Fall 2019 Annual Report by North Shore Country Day

North Shore Country Day School

Â· Fall 2019 Annual Report Edition

Searching for NSCDS Memorabilia Our Centennial year has finally arrived and we are still on the hunt for treasures to add to our archives. Here is our Top 10 list. 1 Topping our list is a recording of Perry Dunlap Smith’s voice.

We have searched far and wide without luck but remain confident we just haven’t asked the right person yet. Are you that person? Or do you remember someone who recorded him? We will follow any solid leads! 2 Any information that could us help track down our stolen bell.

We are still honoring the same $500 reward for its return that was offered when the bell first disappeared. No questions asked! 3 Old video or audio from class projects, trips, events,

performances, on the field, or just hanging around campus. (Any media—film, VHS, Beta, mini-DV, DVDs, CDs, vinyl, etc.) 4 Early marketing materials. Think 1920-1940. 5 Our very first yearbook published in 1920. We have one

copy in poor condition. And hey, it doesn’t hurt to ask! 6 NSCDS vintage athletic uniforms or gear. How about

May Day 1931: May Queen Lucy Trumbull ’31

a leather football helmet? 7 Early, early commencement invitations or programs. 8 Photographs of favorite traditions such as May Day,

Work Day, Gilbert and Sullivan Productions, Morning Ex or any other fond memory. 9 Correspondence from Founding Headmaster Perry Dunlap Smith. 10 Correspondence from headmasters (Nathaniel French,

George Eldredge ’41, Douglas MacDonald) or teachers before 1980.

Commencement 1932: Elizabeth Zimmerman, Marian Thomas, Dorothy Ott and Barbara Hobart Photos donated by Carol Barkin, daughter of Knight Aldrich ’31

We Are Truly Grateful for Your Support In 1919, Perry Dunlap Smith and our founding families took a leap and created a new School, dedicated to answering the question “What matters most when educating a child?” A hundred years later, our students are learning, growing, innovating and discovering talents they never knew they had. I clearly remember hearing about North Shore’s Centennial back when I was interviewing for the Head of School position. It seemed like it was years away, we had plenty of time to prepare. And then it arrived. When the Centennial graduating class of 2019 walked across the stage of the Auditorium in June on a stunningly beautiful day, they kicked off a celebration 100 years in the making. Reaching 100 years is a milestone, that’s for sure—one worth celebrating. But while it is the numerical milestone that inspires many of the events and activities you’ll read about in this issue of the Acorn—and hopefully attend— there is something much more important at work here as we pause to ref lect and remember. You see, for me, what we celebrate this year is the phenomenal success of an idea and a dream. No one knew in 1919 if North Shore Country Day School would make it or not, if the formula that the founders believed could be transformative would turn out to be so. Well, spoiler alert, we made it. And as the pages of this magazine attest, the

formula for a North Shore education has turned out to be not only transformative, but remarkably powerful and resilient. Look no further than the throughlines that connect the reminiscences of Alice Graff Childs ’37 and Laura Heinz Peters ’89. The common theme for both, more than 50 years apart, was the emphasis that North Shore places on participating widely and how truly impactful it can be. By attending North Shore, both women learned things about their teachers, classmates and themselves that they wouldn’t have otherwise. The entire rest of the issue shows that philosophy front and center in the work that we do every day at 310 Green Bay Road. The Class of 2019 is a remarkable group, ready to share their talents generously and tackle the challenges they will face. They are already making a difference in our world, through their knowledge and their kindness. Students in every grade, from JK upward, know that our motto is “Live and Serve,” and they go out of their way to put it into practice. Our faculty and staff are modeling lifelong learning and they are inspiring the children around them to work hard and dream big. Please take a moment to look carefully at the Homecoming schedule and the rest of the events that are planned for the

Centennial. If you are reading these words, North Shore has played some role in your life. I hope you’ll use this opportunity to reconnect, learn about the School today, maybe even visit. We will be celebrating here in Winnetka and around the world— come join the fun! All of this is possible only with the assistance we get from friends like you. In this Annual Report edition of the Acorn, we take a moment to say a heartfelt THANK YOU to those who have supported North Shore financially in the last year. Every teacher, staff member and student at North Shore depends on your generosity and we are truly grateful for your support. Parent, family and community involvement have always been a major part of the North Shore model of education. We are stronger because of you. Thank you. In 1919, Perry Dunlap Smith and our founding families took a leap and created a new School, dedicated to answering the question “What matters most when educating a child?” A hundred years later, our students are learning, growing, innovating and discovering talents they never knew they had. The North Shore approach to school—revolutionary as it was in 1919—has stood the test of time. And that’s worth celebrating. —Tom Flemma, Head of School

Connect with others and nurture those around you. ‘Live and Serve.’ Make us proud.” Following the recessional, everyone made their way outside where the seniors sang the School song, “Wake the Echoes,” for the final time as students.

History Book Sales Begin

Late winter/early spring 2020

Researching, writing, selecting photos and designing a book to commemorate the North Shore Country Day School Centennial has been a monumental undertaking. Combing through the School’s archives, Winnetka Historical Society documents, public records and more than 50 in-person interviews, our researchers have uncovered treasured stories and discovered innumerable facts. The result is a limited-edition, hardcover book that connects the past and the present: Live and Serve—North Shore Country Day School 1919-2019. The rich story of North Shore Country Day is revealed through a tapestry of visuals and masterful storytelling. This work honors the ongoing legacy of one of the earliest progressive schools in the United States—where each student has a voice, is known and is valued. For a limited time, the book is available at a discounted rate of $70. Pricing will increase to $85 on November 1. To place your order, visit nscds.org/centennialbook. The book will be published and shipped (or you can arrange pick up) at the end of our Centennial year in the spring of 2020.

Documentary Video Premiere One of the many exciting events at our Centennial Homecoming Weekend will be the premiere of a documentary commissioned to commemorate our first 100 years. This video will take you back through our history with stories told by voices and images from our past and present. What becomes crystal clear is how North Shore Country Day School has stayed true to its mission for 100 years. Look for the purple carpet on the Auditorium steps and a board with show times. Grab a bag of popcorn and take a seat to flash back in time with voices from our past. The 20-minute movie was produced by Tall Tall Productions of Chicago of which alumni Matt Downe ’04 and Ben Kegan ’05 are part owners.

ONE BOY’S EDUCATION: A REMEMBRANCE OF NSCDS, 1919-1931 (Part 1 of 3) BY CHUCK HAAS ’31

feature Editor’s Note: This memoir by Chuck Haas ’31, one of the School’s first Lifers, was originally published in the Spring 1990 edition of the North Shore Country Day School Bulletin. We will be publishing excerpts of his writings over the next few issues of the Acorn. Chuck brought to life, with remarkable vividness, the early years of NSCDS. In his descriptions of the kindergarten learning French, the 2nd grade studying Chicago history (and building a scale model of Fort Dearborn), the 5th grade enacting roles from the Greek epics and much more, he puts flesh on the bones of that much-used (but often vaguely-defined) term “progressive education.” After graduating from Harvard in 1935 with a degree in English, Chuck began a career in film, first as a writer/producer then as a director. Among his movie credits are The Modesto Case (a labor documentary) and eleven feature films, including Moonrise, which he also wrote and produced. For TV he directed seven productions for the acclaimed General Electric Theater, as well as some 300 other productions for a variety of well-known shows of the 1950s and early ’60s. According to Bill Hinchliff ’64, who was the Alumni Editor of the Bulletin in 1990, Chuck once spent an entire evening reciting Gilbert and Sullivan opera songs from memory, in the company of another G&S addict by the name of Groucho Marx, thereby persuading Groucho to make a rare appearance in a TV drama.

CHAPTER 1 In the fall of 1919, 5 years old plus— my birthday is in November—I entered the North Shore Country Day School kindergarten. Our teacher’s name was Miss Kee, and we studied French. Miss Kee’s name may seem unimportant, but it belongs in the record as a monument to Sex-and-the-Six-Year-Old: in my eyes she was Miss Winnetka of 1919, and I loved her with all my heart until the summer she ran off and got married to someone else. However, one disillusionment ought not to crush an ardent nature, and shortly thereafter I ran away from home to live with an exquisite little girl who resided at the other end of our block on Oak Street. Unfortunately, when supper time came and her family discovered my intent, they threw me out of the house—just as my mother reached their front yard in her search of the neighborhood. I was shocked that a grown-up should show so little control, particularly on a public thoroughfare. Forgive the digression—for a moment I was caught up in feelings from long ago and far away. Our kindergarten study of French came right after World War I; things French were de rigueur. Also someone has observed that infants could learn complicated languages like Navajo or Ashanti or whatever they happened to be born to. So the kindergarten studied French: we sat in a circle and counted, each of us saying one number. Unfortunately, Miss Kee could not have been as bright as she was beautiful, because our seating order, on some principle (like keeping the peace), was invariable. I was always “cinq.” At 6, I learned “cinq” rather quickly, and I have never forgotten it. Often since then, in Paris, while strolling down the Rue de Seine shopping for fraises des bois (strawberries), I have overheard a Frenchman ask his companion, “Où est la plume de ma tante?” I’m always tempted to tap him on the shoulder and whisper, “Cinq.”

English and mathematical theory, while at the same time to build something with their hands. Mrs. Frances Sands, beautiful inside and out, was the children-loving (Homeric epithet) leader of the 4th grade Greeks. We were reading the Iliad and had made wooden Greek swords and cardboard tin shields. So armed, we resolved to find Miss Hale’s treasure. (Let me explain: Miss Hale had the 5th grade reading Treasure Island; to make it memorable, she buried a treasure somewhere on the campus and hid cryptic clues in odd places. The 5th graders carved themselves wooden I have overheard a cutlasses and spent their recess time huntFrenchman ask his ing the treasure.) From then on during recess and after school, the campus companion, “Où est la became the windy plains of Troy as short plume de ma tante?” sword battled cutlass, and the tide ebbed and f lowed between grey West Hall and I’m always tempted to the pine trees along the hill above Green tap him on the shoulder Bay Road. I don’t remember who found the treasure, but I remember our and whisper, “Cinq.” Diomedes and Odysseus, our Ajax and Achilles, their Ben Gunn, Jim Hawkins, Squire, and Long John Silver ... which great deal.

The following year (1920-21) came the 1st grade which in those days was where everyone learned to read. However, I had long since learned to read by playing anagrams with my grandmother, so in the middle of the year I was promoted to 2nd grade, thereby happily becoming a member of the wonderful Class of 1931. The 2nd grade teacher was Miss Lillian Griffin. She made us feel she cared about us — even long after we left her class — and my recollection is that we learned a

he year was 1937. People worldwide were speculating and gossiping about the fate of Amelia Earhart after she disappeared over the Pacific Ocean. Excited audiences f locked to the theater in droves as Disney released its first full-length animated film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. After years of construction, the iconic Golden Gate Bridge finally opened to the public’s delight. Meanwhile in Winnetka, 17-year-old Alice Graff was completing her senior year at North Shore Country Day School and preparing to head off to Smith College to major in American Culture. She started at the School four years earlier as a freshman, however, that start almost didn’t happen. Founding Headmaster Perry Dunlap Smith had a strict policy requiring an equal number of male and female students in the Upper School. There was simply no room for Alice at North Shore, so her parents enrolled her at New Trier. “I was at New Trier for two or three days,” Alice recalls. “But Perry wanted me at North Shore so badly that he gave a scholarship to one of his nephews to make room for me.” Upon finding out that a spot was now available, Alice and her family had a decision to make. After consulting her mother, she called her father who was away on business in Pittsburgh. He telegrammed back, “By all means go to North Shore.” That is how Alice’s got her start at NSCDS. While a student at the School, she played basketball, participated in orchestra, sang in the chorus during the musical and eventually went on to graduate in the class of 1937. Fast-forward 82 years to 2019: While NSCDS is embarking on its Centennial year, Alice Graff Childs ’37 is also celebrating her 100th birthday in September. Recently, we had a chance to catch up with Alice at her home in Naples, FL, and ask her about her time at NSCDS.

I also played in the orchestra. No way I could even have had a seat in the orchestra at New Trier. At NSCDS, I was second chair violin. Ramsey Duff was the music teacher. He was a good musician and he cared about us. There were a lot of music classes at NSCDS and I took all the courses I could take. That was sort of my forte—not that I was any good at the violin (laughs), but I was playing in the orchestra and now music is one of my lifelong loves and I know a lot about it. ACORN: Did you continue studying music

after NSCDS? ALICE: Everybody thought I was a music

major, but at that time, in order to major in music you had to play an instrument and I don’t think my violin playing would have passed the test (laughs). I couldn’t major in music because I didn’t want to spend all my time by myself in a practice room, because that’s what they did in those days. I started playing in high school, so I played for about four years. That was it. When I went to college I didn’t play anymore. ACORN: What other activities were you

involved in while you attended NSCDS? ALICE: We had an opera every year, it was

ALICE: They did a lot of things [for

I was raising rabbits, so of course they wanted a program about the rabbits, so I had a partner and we did a Morning Ex about how you feed them and take care of them. They were living at the school, of course. ACORN: You raised rabbits at the school? ALICE: Yeah. we had to take care of them

every day. During winter vacation I had to bring them home and we had to get our porch painted afterwards because they ruined the f loor. You know, that was the one thing about North Shore that is probably still true, they brought so much to your home, too, by what you took home… like the rabbits. ACORN: We just graduated our 100th class

at NSCDS. What would you say to them? ALICE: I would say just try everything that

you want to try. Don’t be afraid. That’s what I’d say. Maybe I mess up sometimes, but I do a lot of things I wouldn’t have tried if I hadn’t gone to North Shore. They kind of trained me–you can do what you want to do with your life. If you want to play the violin then you can play it, even if you hit the wrong note (laughing). That was the big advantage of North Shore– you didn’t have to be a pro to participate. North Shore was a good experience. I’m very glad I went there. I think the thing I got out of it the most is to try. I’ll be optimistic by succeeding whenever I try.

To all of our donors in this Annual Report—you are remarkable. Thank you for investing in our students’ futures and their experiences along the way, and in the teachers who help them get there.

“North Shore’s Strategic Plan provides guideposts for the work the Board and Administrators do each year to propel the School forward. The initiatives in the Strategic Plan are always bold but come with a price. It is the support of our donors that allows those initiatives to go from ideas and dreams on paper to reality. Without the generosity of all of you, our dreams can’t be realized. Perry Dunlap Smith formed North Shore Country Day with a vision of what education could be. His dream in 1919 is now 100 years old and going strong. Your gift helps keep that dream alive and will take us into our next 100 years. Thank you to each and every one of you. No matter the size of your gift, please know it matters.” M O L LY S H O T W E L L O E L E R I C H ’ 8 7

Board Chair, parent of Buckley ’23 and Dixie ’26

Class of 2019 Lifers: Katie Nolan, Livvy Whitmore, Maya Valliath, Caroline Lommer, Rachel Block, Paula Fiegl and Max Marshall “Alumni support reflects the strength of our alumni connection to the School. We give back because of the value of the education we received. In addition, the ethos of the School community and the relationships that are developed here account for the lifelong alumni connection to the Purple and White. Thank you for making an impact.” JEFF FOREMAN ’80

For ways to give, planned giving information or questions, please contact: Director of Development Molly Ingram McDowell ’80 847.441.3316 or mmcdowell@nscds.org.

“I know donors choose to make NSCDS one of their top philanthropic priorities because reflected in every grade and student-faculty interaction is a high standard of quality. The depth of daily learning is 100% supported through our giving totals—reaching heights never seen before by families, alumni, faculty, staff and students alike. In 2018-19 we broke records in a big way: whether to Annual Giving, the Benefit or endowed gifts, you said clearly that you believe in the moments that happen each day for North Shore students. As a member of the Board of Trustees, a current parent and now a parent of an alumna, the generosity of others inspires me to continue to give as the greater North Shore community demonstrates increased confidence in the mission and operations of this School.”

THE DOAR FUND

In recognition of all that was accomplished by the faculty, administration and school community under Tom Doar’s leadership, upon Tom’s retirement in 2016, the Board of Trustees established The Doar Fund to perpetuate a legacy of providing student access to the full North Shore experience and fostering faculty excellence. One great addition to NSCDS has been our teaching fellows who are part of the University of Pennsylvania Day School Teaching Residency Program. We are able to offer financial support through The Doar Fund to these teachers who come to us as graduate students and commit two years to teaching at North Shore. We are grateful for our donors to The Doar Fund this year who help make all this possible.

“I think athletics is a very important part of learning. I played soccer in the fall which I loved, and I loved playing baseball with Mac and with Jay. Being on a team is so important to understand what it means to rely on somebody else, what it means to give up something of yourself for the greater accomplishment of the team.” TONY BLUMBERG ’76 Archive photo from the Class of ’67

The teacher who impacted me the most was Mr. Goss. I wanted to quit chemistry after the first week because I thought it was too hard. He told me to give it one more week and one more quiz, and if I still didn’t like it I could quit. It was by far my favorite class and I chose to go into Pharmacy because I loved chemistry so much. I’ve always wanted to tell him and thank him. REBECCA ANDREOU SABRI ’86 Allison Kaplan Bosco ’03 and Anna Hegerfors ’03

“My teachers here always cared about me as a person as much as they cared about my learning any subject. They made me feel comfortable at school, made me love being at school. Thanks to them, when it came time to look for my own job, I naturally gravitated toward teaching. The best part of teaching is helping students find their confidence and watching them grow. That’s a direct result of the impact my North Shore teachers had on me.” Mullery Doar ’06 Associate Director of Admission, Middle School Health Teacher, Head Field Hockey Coach

North Shore Forevermore Campaign In 2017, when the Board of Trustees adopted our current Strategic Plan (2017-2022), they set in motion the steps to prepare for the School’s next Capital Campaign, North Shore Forevermore. As is the practice in most independent schools, campaigns occur every five to eight years, on average, and fund initiatives outside the annual operating budget, which Annual Giving at North Shore helps to fund. In funding our initiatives outlined in the Strategic Plan, over the last year and a half, we have been laying the foundation for our next Campaign in support of People, Program, Place and Perpetuity/Endowment—creating a case for support and beginning to meet with individuals. Every member of our Board of Trustees has committed to this Campaign for 100% support, leading the way as we begin to invite others to join in support. Our response to date has been overwhelmingly positive as individuals have responded to our request for support and feedback. As one lead donor said, “The giving doesn’t stop if you believe.” We will continue to encourage members of our community to join us and prepare to publicly launch our Campaign in early 2020. We are grateful to those who have responded to our call for leadership in this early phase of the Campaign—and to those who made bequest gifts directed to the endowment and to those who have made provisions for the School in their estate plans and joined others as members of our Heritage Society. We look forward to sharing more with our community in the coming months as we celebrate our Centennial and continue the strong momentum into our second century.

The Benefit 2019: Because of a Teacher The Benefit 2019: Because of a Teacher was a rousing success thanks to all of you. Over 300 members from the NSCDS community came together in February to raise more than $400,000 for faculty. Investing in our teachers is the single most significant way we can ensure that they, the School and our students are growing, thriving and adapting for the future.

It feels really good to be able to help out in any capacity, especially when it’s within a community that I so strongly believe in like North Shore Country Day School. Additionally, I feel it is very important to recognize the impact we can make as individuals on both large and small scales that does literally change something or someone’s life for the better.” K AT I E T O D D ’ 9 6 , Alumni Board Member, Parent of Devin ’27 and Finley ’31

Emmy Cho ’20 (second row, far right) with fellow Princeton Prize recipients

Princeton Prize in Race Relations Emmy Cho ’20 was awarded a 2019 Princeton Prize in Race Relations. The Prize, founded in 2003, recognizes and rewards high school students who have had a significant positive effect on race relations in their schools or communities. The volunteer-run organization has 27 regional committees who choose winners from each area around the country and Emmy was awarded the prize for the Chicago region. Prize recipients were invited to an all-expenses-paid trip to the 2019 Princeton Prize Symposium held April 25-27 at Princeton University, where she met her fellow prize-winning students to engage in meaningful discussions about race and race relations. She also received a $1,000 cash prize. Emmy was honored for her work in building community for Asian American youth across the suburban North Shore, most notably her role in co-founding the Chicago North Shore Asian-American Youth Conference (AAYC). She co-founded the group in 2018 with her sister Isabella ’20, with support from Upper School Visual Arts Teacher Laura Hsieh and Upper School English Teacher Christina Baik. Their efforts have created a meaningful coalition of students from NSCDS, Glenbrook South High School and Niles North High School. The group has focused on building bridges across different Asian American identities and are planning on holding a symposium

in the future. AAYC has also created space for Asian American teachers to discuss best practices for teaching Asian American students and how to make school a safe space to express themselves. “There is little opportunity to interact with the diversity of Asian American youth,” Emmy said. “There is also little communication between these groups. While voicing the Asian American experience to the general public is pertinent, it is first necessary to find solidarity amongst each other.” In addition to her work with AAYC, Emmy was honored for her efforts to further improve the NSCDS freshman Intro to Upper School class regarding discussions around diversity. She was inspired by her involvement with the Chicago chapter of Facing History and Ourselves, an organization that engages students of diverse backgrounds in order to promote the development of a more humane and informed citizenry. She hopes to help develop a space where more students feel comfortable contributing and being vulnerable in discussions around race and diversity. Faculty members have responded favorably and plan to enrich the program next year. At the Princeton Prize Symposium, Emmy met youth from across the nation who shared her passion for improving race relations in their communities. She met one student who donated books to girls in Mongolia to connect with her roots and a mixed-raced boy who focused on creating community with other youth of mixed-races.

She also attended lectures by Princeton professors who discussed their work related to race relations, as well as college student activists who shared their experiences centered around racial identity. The prize winners then participated in consulting sessions with Princeton alumni and board members who provided feedback and advice. They ended with an interactive fair that invited alumni and other community members to learn more about the students’ projects. Emmy was also honored on May 7 by the Princeton Club of Chicago at a regional ceremony hosted by Northern Trust. After an introduction by Laura Hsieh, Emmy delivered a speech in which she reminded youth of their agency, and that their opinions and experiences matter. She was followed by guest speaker and Princeton alumnus Craig Robinson, Vice President of Player Development for the New York Knicks and brother of Michelle Obama. Craig shared his ref lections about race relations within athletics, and how he has observed stronger relationships than in the outside world. He attributed it to the spirit of teamwork and the sense of belonging that rises above physical appearance or superficial differences. “Winning the Prize has transformed how I see my future,” Emmy said. “I’ve been so inspired and am starting to see that it is possible for me to have both a professional career and continue my activism.”

Chinese Speech Contest This year, three North Shore Country Day School students participated in the 11th Midwest Chinese Teachers Alliance (MCTA) Speech Contest. Carissa Shultz ’24 and Robert Hansell ’22 brought home gold awards for Middle School Level 2 and High School Level 2, respectively, and Emmy Cho ’20 received a silver award for High School Level 3. Upper School Mandarin Teacher Di Li said the students worked very hard preparing for the competition. “They worked with me on writing and editing their speech, and memorizing and perfecting their pronunciation and tones,” Di said. “I was so tough and picky about their tones. I would like to thank them for being so patient and persistent. I really enjoyed working with them.” MCTA currently has over 200 Chinese teachers in the greater Chicago area, and its interest is in promoting the study of Mandarin Chinese as a world language or heritage language for all levels.

The theme of this year’s speech, as in past years, was “Chinese and Me,” which gives students a lot of latitude in crafting their presentations, Di explained.

College Athletes Four members of the Class of 2019 have committed to playing collegiate sports this year. Paige Forester ’19 is playing field hockey at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Betsey Freiburger ’19 is swimming at Bates College in Lewiston, ME. Mazeed Oluewu ’19 is playing basketball for Cornell College in Mount Vernon, IA. Abby Renaud is playing field hockey at Northwestern University.

Youth Poetry Award

Sadie Haupt ’28 was one of two 3rd graders in the entire state to receive a 2019 Gwendolyn Brooks Youth Poetry Award for her poem “Dear Llamacorn.” The contest, co-sponsored by Illinois Humanities and the Poetry Foundation, was open to students from kindergarten through 12th grade. More than 260 students in both public and private schools submitted Third Grade Audio pieces for consideration.

The Neave Trio with 2nd Grade

Neave Trio Performs at Annual Susan Marshall ’76 Memorial Concert North Shore Country Day School welcomed the Neave Trio to campus on April 17 for the annual Susan Marshall ’76 Memorial Concert. The trio began their visit with a concert for the entire School during Morning Ex, where they introduced the audience to somewhat lesser known composers and music, sharing interesting stories and information about each piece and artist. “It’s so wonderful to be able to take a break in the middle of a busy day to slow down, listen to the music and feed the soul,” said Head of School Tom Flemma as he thanked the trio for sharing their music with the School. “That’s really what the Susan Marshall concert is all about—to remember how important music is to our lives individually and to the lives of everybody at North Shore.” 50

The annual concert series is a tradition established in 1983 by Susan Marshall’s parents, Irl and Barbara Favill Marshall ’46, in memory of their daughter’s lifelong love of music. Susan played the violin and piano, and she also enjoyed singing. She graduated from North Shore in 1976, then continued her studies at Dartmouth College and in graduate school at the University of Denver. Each year, an emerging young musician or group of musicians is invited to perform a concert and visit with students and faculty. After the concert, the performers joined Susan Marshall’s brother Bucky Marshall ’71 for a reception. They then met individually with Upper, Middle and Lower School music students and answered questions about their practice routines and love of music.

Since forming in 2010, the trio, consisting of violinist Anna Williams, cellist Mikhail Veselov and pianist Eri Nakamura, has earned enormous praise for their engaging, cutting- edge performances. WQXR Radio explained that “‘Neave’ is actually a Gaelic name meaning ‘bright’ and ‘radiant,’ both of which certainly apply to this trio’s music making.” Much like at NSCDS, the trio’s goal is to engage, exchange and connect in everything they do. “This is what we strive to do every time we play,” they explained. “This is what we are all about. We feel fortunate that we are able to use music to do this.” The trio has been enjoying tremendous success at concert series and festivals both in the United States and internationally. Neave released their latest album, Celebrating Piazzolla, in November 2018.

2019 Harold Hines Visiting Fellow: Genevieve Nielsen ’10 Genevieve Nielsen ’10 returned to North Shore on May 6 as the 2019 Harold Hines Visiting Fellow. She spent the day on campus meeting with students from all three divisions and talking with them about her work. Genevieve is a web developer who writes code for web and text messaging tools to modernize public assistance in America. She observed the breakdown of government support systems in the wake of Hurricane Katrina and saw a need for better mechanisms to enable accessibility to assistance programs for those who were previously unable to get them. In 2014, at the age of 23, she was inspired to co-found mRelief with friend Rose Afriyie, whom she met at a coding

boot camp. The mission of mRelief is “to restore dignity by transforming access to social services.” In 2016, mRelief was accepted into the Y Combinator program—a Silicon Valley tech incubator with a 1.5 percent acceptance rate. Twice a year, they invest $150,000 in a large number of startups, requiring them to move to Silicon Valley for three months, during which they work intensively with each organization to get into the best possible shape and refine its pitch to investors. The Y Combinator commitment to each nonprofit continues to help founders for the life of their company and beyond. Airbnb and Dropbox are among other startups supported by Y Combinator.

The Harold Hines Visiting Fellowship was established in 1986 in memory of longtime trustee Harold H. Hines, Jr., who provided exceptional leadership to North Shore as a trustee, having chaired numerous Board committees, including the Long Range Planning Committee and the 50th Anniversary Endowment Fund Campaign, as well as serving as Board Chair from 1971-1973. In addition, his three children graduated from North Shore as lifers, and his wife Mary Pick Hines ’49, Life Trustee, is a distinguished alumna who has served the School at the highest level for many years including President of the Alumni Board, member of the Benefit Board and Board of Trustees.

Grandparents Day This year’s annual Grandparents Day, held on May 3, was well attended by nearly 200 guests. The special day is a chance for students to connect with their grandparents on campus. Festivities began with a welcome from Head of School Tom Flemma and a program including performances from Lower, Middle and Upper School choruses. Visits to the Lower and Middle School classrooms followed as teachers included grandparents in their curriculum that afternoon. Upper School students gave their grandparents tours, after faculty and students presented a program focusing on theater and science at the School. Those in attendance included grandparents from 22 states and as far away as China, 16 parents of alumni, four alumni and one former faculty member. One grandparent has five grandchildren who are current students. Laurie Weisberg, grandparent of Hunter Wessel ’31, remarked that she was able to see how her grandson has grown since last year, and learn why he looks forward to coming to school every day.

Country Day in the City We hope all who attended enjoyed the glimpse of their grandchild’s day at school. Thank you to all grandparents for being an important part of our North Shore community.

Former Faculty and Staff Luncheon North Shore former faculty and staff returned to campus for the annual luncheon in their honor. It was an opportunity to visit with colleagues and current faculty, as well as meet and hear from Head of School Tom Flemma about the School today and the Centennial year plans. Those who attended included: Larry Aggens, Jay and Patti Bach, Bob Beerheide, Emily Denesha, Beth Foster, Jim and Nancy Emrich Freeman, Tana Hitch, Carol Radloff, Linda Semel and Helen Turley. Helen Turley made a detour to the Lower School and visited with the junior kindergarten class. She observed them singing the special birthday song to a classmate, complete with choreographed hand gestures. Helen is a former kindergarten teacher at NSCDS.

North Shore alumni, parents, parents of alumni and friends attended the Spring Country Day in the City program in Chicago at the Union League Club on April 18.

end of their time in the Lower School. The day culminated with Middle School Graduation. On Thursday after all the students were gone for the summer, faculty and staff were treated to a delicious appreciation lunch, courtesy of the Parents’ Association. This annual tradition honors those who play a critical role in the success of North Shore students, either directly or indirectly. More than 325 families contributed more than $80,000, which was divided among the teachers, administrators and other support staff from all three divisions.

Chicago Architecture Center Tour This spring, the School was featured in the Chicago Architecture Center’s “Schools By Bus” tour, illustrating how design enhances education. The tour, led by Virginia Casperi Gerst ’60, focused on important educational buildings on the North Shore, and with 100 years of architectural history, NSCDS played an important role. Approximately 50 people visited the campus on May 11 to tour the

state-of-the-art Upper School Building, as well as the Auditorium and Lower School. They also made brief stops at the Middle School, Science Center, Cafeteria and Arts Center. In addition, the tour stopped at Winnetka’s Crow Island School and Northwestern’s Evanston campus.

Race Against Hate This Father’s Day marked the 20th year for the annual Ricky Byrdsong Memorial Race Against Hate organized by the YWCA in Evanston, and the ninth year that NSCDS sponsored a team. On June 16, 57 members of the North Shore community—including students, parents, faculty and staff from all three divisions— joined nearly 4,500 others to walk or run in unity against racial hatred and violence. The School’s team was the second-largest team participating this year. The Race honors the legacy of Ricky Byrdsong, former Northwestern University basketball coach, vice president of affairs at Aon Corporation and Skokie resident who was murdered by a white supremacist in 1999 while walking in his neighborhood with two of his young children.

Because of Ricky’s lifelong love of sports and his compelling work with young people in the community, the Race was launched by his family and friends (and entrusted to the YWCA Evanston/ North Shore in 2007) to honor Ricky’s legacy and bring attention to the need to combat hatred in all its forms. Proceeds from the Race are used to further the mission of the YWCA Evanston/North Shore, in particular their efforts in the areas of racial justice and violence prevention.

Fourth of July Parade Not only is NSCDS turning 100 this year— the Village of Winnetka is celebrating 150 years. To celebrate those milestones, a group of more than 100 parents, students, alumni, faculty, staff and friends marched together in Winnetka’s annual Fourth of July Parade. Augmenting the typical red, white and blue with lots of purple, the group proudly carried a North Shore Country Day School Centennial banner down Elm Street from Glendale Avenue to the Village Green.

facult y Faculty Profile: Siera Erazo SCHOOL ARCHIVIST Q . Tell us about your responsibilities as the North Shore Country Day School Archivist. A. I’m in charge of the care and organiza-

tion of all of our historic materials— anything from administrative records to the collection of the alumni bulletins, to the Acorn magazine. The other big part of my job is making all of those materials accessible to our School population— faculty, staff, students, the marketing department—whoever needs it. Q . What are some of the ways you make the archives more accessible? A. When I first got here, everything was

stored in banker’s boxes at an offsite facility. Several years ago, we moved everything back to campus and began to scan all of our photographs. We’ve scanned about 26,000 so far. Then we did the same for old student newspapers, yearbooks, alumni bulletins and other papers. Because of the digitization, people don’t have to come in here and physically dig through the files. So many things are now online and easily searchable. For example, if you’re trying to find 10 photos of Perry Dunlap Smith you don’t have to spend four hours in the archives looking for them. But if you need the original print, we can easily pull it because all the files are matched up. Q . As an archivist you have to be very organized and structured. Is there any advice you have for our students? A. The way you organize archives is a

little bit different from how you would organize your life. With archives, you’re more concerned with the original order of things. But like with any project, if you have an outline and a method, you can use those as your framework. Q . Where do the School’s motto “Live and Serve” and the School colors come from? A. The students came up with them.

Mottos were very important back in the progressive era when the School was founded. Each class had their own motto and colors. And then in 1923, they all came together to choose a motto for the entire School and voted for “Live and Serve.” The same thing happened with our School colors—but that was even

earlier. In 1920, the colors had already been established and the students named the first School newspaper The Purple and White.

Q. What’s the most interesting project you’ve worked on so far?

A. Putting together the timeline for Centennial that goes back to before the School’s founding was really interesting. Q. As we’ve geared up for the Centennial, I was pretty familiar with the School’s we’ve been asking alumni to donate or lend various items to the archives. What are early history—the 1960s and before— but it was fun to learn more about the some of the things that have turned up? School’s recent history and really delve A.

Middle School Performing Arts Festival

JK/SK Musical Tea Junior and senior kindergartners once again invited their parents, as well as the lifers, to join them for the annual Musical Tea— a North Shore tradition for more than 30 years. The students made colorful hats and boutonnieres out of paper and presented them to their parents at the beginning of the concert. Then the students sat in a horseshoe on the floor of the Multi-Purpose Room, with parents seated behind them. This year, the students sang a selection of songs in English, Spanish and Swahili. Some of the songs incorporated clapping, snapping and even a little American Sign Language. After the concert, parents and other guests were invited back to the classroom for tea, cookies and other light refreshments.

Chorus and Instrumental Ensemble The chorus and instrumental ensembles from all three divisions celebrated their hard work this year with two separate concerts, held a week apart. The Upper School concert on April 25 featured a variety of music, from jazz standards to Broadway hits to opera to soul. Three seniors, Zach Barker ’19, Paula Fiegl ’19 and Morgan Small ’19 performed solos, including an original composition by Paula. The Lower and Middle School concert on May 2 also featured a wide range of music, from Beethoven to the Rolling Stones to traditional spirituals to original compositions by Jim Papoulis, who will be doing a songwriting residency with the Lower School Chorus in November. Both concerts highlighted the tremendous progress the students made in just one short school year.

Take 10! Play Festival Take 10! is North Shore’s annual student-written, designed and directed 10-minute play festival. Students in the Upper School directing course spent about a month writing 10-minute plays based on personal experiences, observations, media events or just pure creativity. They then took on the role of producer and director by auditioning their peers, creating a concept, blocking their actors and watching everything fall into place along the way. Technical theater students were paired with the directors to design the sets, lights and sound, bringing the director’s vision to life. This year, eight plays premiered with about 50 students involved in the festival.

The plays and playwrights were: A Night Out on the Town by Claire Umpleby ’20, The Funeral by Charley Bell ’21, Sorry, I’m Not Coming by Lola Adebiyi ’21, Mother Knows Best by Alex Carrigan ’20, Home Is Where the Heart Is by Kate McKown ’21, Catch A Plane by Rob Pierre ’20, Lucky by Anita Rao ’21 and Therapy by Ava Prezant ’21.

Middle School Spring Performing Arts Festival The Middle School Performing Arts Festival is an opportunity to showcase the work of the Middle School acting, dance, technical theater, visual arts and instrumental ensemble classes. The festival is a celebration of the process and the journey that each of these classes has taken through the second semester, culminating in a visual arts display and evening performance. The acting and technical theater classes presented the play Appropriate Audience Behavior by Ian McWethy. The play features Carol and Ashley who expect a tale of woe as they take their seats to watch Hamlet. But the real tragedy is that they’re sitting next to the world’s noisiest weirdos. The audience takes the spotlight as everyone from a cough-drop obsessed person to a man watching the play like a football game steals the show from the unseen Shakespearean masterpiece. In addition to the play, students performed a selection of contemporary, musical theater, hip-hop and jazz funk dances. During the transitions, instrumental ensemble members delighted the audience with classical selections on piano, viola and bass. In conjunction with the performance, Wood/Word, an exhibition of artworks created by 7th and 8th grade ArtLab students, was on display in the Science Center Atrium. The art show featured collaborative and personal sculptures, paintings, chairs, digital images, miniatures, drawings and imagined trees. Parents and guests were invited to view the exhibition prior to the performance. Then, during the showcase, the class projected a video of the artwork in progress and the finished pieces, while four students— Ethan Buckner ’24, Jack Forrest ’24, Mira Goldstein ’23 and David Jackson ’24—talked about their projects or shared about their class experience.

Baseball The team leapt from the gate by posting a 3-1 record on their annual spring break trip to Myrtle Beach, SC. Once back in Illinois, the Raiders scrambled to a 9-9 mark by early May. Disappointed after dropping a doubleheader to Round Lake Senior High School, the Raiders romped through the remainder of their schedule—piling up 72 runs during an eight-game winning streak before it finally came to an end in the Sectionals with a season-ending loss to eventual State qualifier Harvest Christian. The squad concluded the season with its third Regional title in the past six years, a 17-9 overall record and a second place conference finish, including a doubleheader sweep of rival Latin School of Chicago. Offensively, the team was paced by juniors Teddy Wilson ’20 (.484 Bavg, .632 OBP, 26 RBI, 23 SB) and Trevor Hayward ’20 (.506 Bavg, .892 SLG, 5 HR), while the pitching staff was anchored by Teddy (4-1), Dylan McLamore ’20 (3-1) and Ethan Watrous ’19 (3-1).

Girls Soccer The NSCDS girls soccer team had its most successful season in program history. With a record of 16-4, the varsity team beat Latin School of Chicago for the first time ever and won the ISL title—also a program first. After winning the conference, the Raiders continued their season by winning the Regional, Sectional and Super Sectional tournaments to make it to State for the second year in a row. In the State Semi-Final game, the Raiders beat Herscher 2-0 to advance to the State Final. After a hard-fought battle against Columbia High School, the Raiders finished second in the state. The girls were the third team in IHSA history to compete in back-to-back State Final games.

Boys Tennis The season was a rollercoaster ride for boys tennis this year. The team started with a win, followed by four straight losses against very tough competition, including a couple of hardfought 2-3 losses. The boys regrouped in a big way and won their next four dual matches, including three decisive sweeps against the competition. In post-season play, the boys finished fourth in the conference. Despite a disappointing result at Sectionals, the players pulled together, supported each other and played with determination and style.

Track and Field Girls and boys track and field continued a tradition of excellence. With one of the strongest senior classes on the girls team ever, they finished second in the ISL. The boys finished a close fourth in conference, with a team dominated by freshmen and sophomores. Sam Roszak ’21 broke a 16-year record in the long jump, set by Henry Gaud ’03, and was also named ISL Boys Track and Field Athlete of the Year. For the first time in School history, the boys team qualified for State in the 4x200-meter sprint relay. The qualifying team included Sebastian Isasi ’20, Nathan Keyt ’21, Ethan Levin ’21 and Sam, who all return in 2020.

Iron Raiders The Class of 2019 added six alumni to the Jay Bach Iron Raider Society, which recognizes students who participate in 12 full seasons of Upper School athletics at any level. Paige Forester, Phillip Hoffman, Aidan Martin, Packy Murdock, Abby Renaud and Julia Terhaerdt all played a sport during every season of their Upper School career.

1970s

Georgia Elmes Welles ’48 visited with

Susan and Stuart Rogers ’74 and former NSCDS staff member Nancy Emrich Freeman sojourned in the Adirondack Mountains in July. Former faculty Marie Lundquist’s husband George made the Three Bears Cottage sign.

her granddaughter, 1st Grade Teacher Berkley Wellstein, and her great-grandson William ’33 at a family party in Canada over the summer. William was beyond thrilled to learn that his great-grandmother, who he calls GG, went to North Shore Country Day School a very long time ago and wanted to wear his NSCDS shirt for her. GG was beaming with pride and was showing off William to everyone. Class of 1948 and the Class of 2033— 85 years apart!

Current Bell’s History Uncovered We recently learned the history of the bell hanging outside the Auditorium. It was given to the School in the early 1980s by the Snyder family— Suzanne ’80 and Reed ’83. Bob Vieregg ’82 emailed Reed this summer and asked him if he had seen the article in the spring 2018 issue of the Acorn, asking for information on the current bell. Bob thought it was the bell Reed had in his room growing up. “It was the first time I had heard from Bob in many years and I hadn’t read that issue of the newsletter yet,” Reed said. “My grandfather had a train transportation business. He got the bell from an old locomotive steam engine and gave it to me.” The bell sat in his bedroom for about five years. “Bob was my friend and next-door neighbor, and he remembered that my family donated the bell that was in my bedroom.” Reed can’t remember exactly when he decided to give it to the School, but it was probably when he graduated in 1983. He remembers a little bell (the Stanton bell that replaced the Schilling bell) hanging there, but doesn’t recall if the Snyder bell replaced the little bell or if that bell had been stolen. Thank you to Bob and Reed for solving the mystery of our current bell’s history!

1950s Rod Lowrey ’54 reports that he published his second novel, The Dork of York, which will be available on Amazon. It is “an adventurous read, a patriotic love story.” John Corkran ’54, reports that he serves as a docent and board member of the Swannanoa Valley Museum and History Center in Black Mountain, NC. He has made a number of presentations on Black Mountain College (BMC) to adult continuing education and enrichment groups, focusing on students his father, David Corkran (NSCDS faculty 1926-1944), taught at BMC who became John’s lifelong friends and colleagues. John is also on the board of the local affiliate of the Community Foundation of Western North Carolina that makes grants to local nonprofits. John’s brothers, David Corkran ’53 and Rob (Francis Parker ’62) have retired from long careers in teaching but still coach running and cross country skiing, respectively. Recently, the family donated two fully restored Old Town canoes which had been in the family for 100 years to launch a second century of paddlers.

1960s David Misch ’68 writes, “My wife and I are happily retired and travelling like crazy, abetted by my retirement job of speaking about comedy around the world, this fall in London and Turin. Our daughter Emily is an opera singer and was a finalist in the Metropolitan Opera National Auditions last year; 40 family members and friends joined 3,500 other people to see her sing at the Met with the full orchestra. Thrill of a lifetime.”

Tony Blumberg ’76 was re-elected as a city councilman for Highland Park in April.

1980s Wendy Aggens Griffiths ’83 writes , “My

oldest daughter is graduating from the University of St. Andrews in Scotland this month, middle daughter will be a 3rd-year student at the same university, and youngest daughter is at HPHS. I am happily working in my long time job as design manager and senior graphic designer at the Chicago Botanic Garden.” Liam Davis ’86 is collaborating with

North Shore Lower School students to compose a NSCDS Centennial song. Caren Jeskey ’87 reports, “I am still living in Austin and focusing my work on my psychotherapy and yoga/meditation practices. I’m working as a psychotherapist for seniors and other Medicare recipients in their homes with Blue Moon Senior Counseling (a service offered in Illinois and 13 other states and paid for by Medicare and secondary insurance: bluemoonseniorcounseling.com). I have a growing private psychotherapy practice for all ages, and I am still teaching yoga, Beditation (which address good sleep habits and provides instruction to achieve deeper levels of sleep), mediation and sound healing with wooden f lutes. Additionally, I am honored to have been nominated for and selected into Central Health’s 2019 Community Health Champions Program to begin in August of 2019. ‘Central Health helps the people of Travis County live healthier. Created in 2004 by the voters of Travis County, we are the local public entity that provides access to the high-quality care everyone needs to get well and stay healthy. We work with a network of partners to eliminate health disparities to reach our vision of Travis County becoming a model healthy community.’”

I coordinate anything from small donor receptions to large galas that benefit long-term museum projects. My next event is the SPARK Awards, a fundraiser for the Chicago Metro History Fair, which 15,000+ Chicago youth participate in annually. Our gala last April supported the new exhibit “Silverscreen to Mainstream,” which tracks how Hollywood’s glamorous reach extended to all classes in the 1930s through the 1940s.

All garments in the exhibit were worn by Chicagoans! My previous role was in banquet event sales and management, yet working at a museum has proven to be a dynamic experience with many moving parts. In the upcoming year I’m putting a high priority on traveling with my husband.” Dr. Avery Russell ’07 and his wife Dr. Sarah Morrison are very excited to soon be moving to Springfield, MO where they will be starting as Professors of Evolutionary Biology and Astrophysics, respectively, at Missouri State University in fall 2019.

I was lucky enough to transfer to North Shore going into 4th grade— this is where I had my very first male teacher, Lew Davis. I was surprised by what a community North Shore was. In my first month, I remember seeing the football team come into Afternoon Ex and show us their drills with Mac McCarty. I thought I would only know kids from my grade, yet here were high school students getting to know us Lower School students! At one point, we studied Beowulf (to my parents’ surprise) with a teacher, Eunice Jackson, who came down from the high school to lend a hand. Again, this sense of community really made me feel like we were all part of this huge family. If someone ever needed assistance from somewhere else, no sweat, somebody would jump in and help with whatever was needed. Not surprisingly, that theme carried on through Middle School. The Head of the Lower School, Tom Doar, was teaching me middle school algebra as well as keeping it all together down in the Lower School for my brothers Todd ’93, Tommy ’97, and later on Teddy ’00. Upper School is where it all started to click for me. People aren’t all one thing and I soon realized that people have so many skills and hidden talents. Nancy Geyer may teach anthropology and Mac McCarty may be the football coach, as well as a biology teacher, but they can both dance and put on a Morning Ex. North Shore encouraged me to try so many things—I was an athlete, an actress and a leader. North Shore gave me tools to work with and people to call upon when

I graduated. While still in high school and volunteering my time at the Auction (when my mother was a co-chair), I was fortunate enough to meet another alum, Marc Peters ’82, who also felt drawn back to North Shore. We later married, had our children, and felt compelled to send our girls to North Shore—it was an easy decision! Having our children attend North Shore felt like coming home or maybe never leaving? My girls, Morgan ’11 and Jeannie ’12, attended North Shore at the same time as my two youngest siblings. The same sentiment that North Shore embodied when I was at school still remained; I continued to see that people have hidden talents that one should always be on the lookout for. For one, Patrick McHugh, the athletic director, can play a mean cello for the spring musical and Jim Deuble ’76 is not only an amazing coach but a pretty great cook too! Now that everyone in my family has graduated from North Shore, I volunteer here and there to remain a part of the larger North Shore community. Within my work, I am rarely surprised to run into another alum or former parent who speaks of the talented people North Shore helped to produce. North Shore is an incredible establishment that provides a sense of community and safety while students try new skills and find themselves.
