From the Head’s Desk I am pleased to report the Master Plan for Park Tudor’s campus was approved by the Board of Directors at their April meeting. Developing a Campus Master Plan was a key recommendation made by our ISACS Accreditation Visiting Team following their campus visit in October.

The Master Plan has several important goals: • Programs: Develop campus facilities capable of delivering an excellent educational program to all Park Tudor students • Community: Create shared spaces for collaboration, learning, and community engaged experiences • Wellness: Promote health and wellness that nourishes students’ minds, bodies and spirits • Enrollment: Drive maximum enrollment across the campus • Campus security and layout: Enhance campus circulation and security • Campus character: Create modern structures that are respectful of the existing campus Primary recommendations in the Master Plan include: • Create new buildings and landscapes that reinforce Park Tudor’s identity and draw the community together with signature programs.

• Replace structures that perform poorly for intended programs or dramatically impact operations of campus.

• Renovate existing structures which are well-located and well-suited to their purpose to become inspiring learning environments.

• Preserve opportunity for future campus expansion on recently acquired land or by not adding significantly to any other existing building.

In order to achieve our objectives, the Master Plan calls for several potential new construction projects, which would be built in phases: • Center for Health, Sport and Recreation featuring a Field House; auxiliary gym; multipurpose studio; weight and cardio fitness room; and seminar classroom

PARK TUDOR PHOENIX SUMMER 2019

• New Lower School building with early childhood and elementary classrooms; specialty classrooms to accommodate science, language, art and music; a library; and a multi-purpose performance/dining/exercise space incorporated into the building.

• Discovery and Innovation Center featuring STEM labs and a Resource Center (Library).

As you review the images of these potential new construction projects on campus, please keep in mind that they are concepts only, not final designs.

In addition, the Master Plan calls for renovating the current Middle School, Fine Arts Building, and Upper School. There are also significant recommendations for our campus landscape, incorporating areas of woodland, meadows and wetlands – with native plants that have grown in Indiana for hundreds of years - to enhance the long-term sustainability of the campus landscape.

Now that the Master Plan has been approved, we will be launching a feasibility study with detailed case statements for all of the primary recommendations included in the plan.

During the feasibility study, many members of the Park Tudor community will be contacted for feedback and input, and to determine the level of interest and support in implementing the Master Plan. We will continue to keep the Park Tudor community apprised of our progress with regular updates; more information and images can be found on our website: parktudor.org/about/campus-master-plan.

Of course, I welcome your comments and feedback.

News of the School Graduates Celebrated at Commencement St. Luke’s United Methodist Church welcomed a near-capacity crowd of family, friends and faculty members to celebrate the Commencement ceremony for the class of 2019.

The keynote speaker was Martha Hoover, Founder and Owner of Patachou, Inc.; parent of Park Tudor alumni Sarah Hoover ’02, Rachael Hoover Lekic ’04 and David Hoover ’08; and member of the Park Tudor Board of Trustees, who encouraged the graduates to leave their “bubble” and embrace uncertainty.

“Culture tells you that uncertainty goes hand-in-hand with emotional unease, risk, fear and failure. Culture tells us that the status quo is good enough. Culture teaches us that moving away from comfort should be avoided. I am here today to argue that these cultural narratives, like so many others we have been taught, are false.”

Ms. Hoover went on to share her story of attending law school and beginning her career filled with uncertainty as a sex crimes prosecutor in the newly formed sex crimes unit in Marion County, where she helped protect women and children from predatory behavior. “Having never been in a police station before, let alone an interrogation or courtroom hardly stood in my way of acting like I knew what I was doing, which actually was perfect practice for marriage, motherhood and the opening of my first restaurant.”

She talked of opening her first Café Patachou in 1989, having never worked in a restaurant and without any business experience. “What should have been a clear recipe for disaster, nearly 30 years and 14 restaurants later, is a formula that seems to have worked. Uncertainty did not end the day I opened my business. It has persistently followed me every step of the way.”

Ms. Hoover emphasized, however, that “uncertainty does not mean doing nothing; it does not mean having no plan.

It does not mean sitting by waiting for desperation to turn into inspiration. Uncertainty means moving forward even when there are no clear-cut answers. Uncertainty includes

Martha Hoover, Keynote Speaker questioning societal norms and standards. Let uncertainty drive you to think differently, to innovate, to come up with fresh ideas - for yourself, and maybe even for the world.”

In closing, Ms. Hoover shared a quote from artist Sol Lewitt: “Just stop thinking, worrying, looking over your shoulder, wondering, doubting, fearing, hurting, hoping for some easy way out...make your own world...try the most outrageous things you can. Shock yourself. You have at your power the ability to do anything.”

And finally, “lean into uncertainty.”

Other speakers at the Commencement ceremony included Head of School, Gareth Vaughan, who made the opening remarks; Ryan Gershman ’04, who brought greetings from the alumni; Global Scholars Program Director, Jane Sidey, who spoke on behalf of the faculty; and Student Council President-Elect, Adam Katz ’20, who represented the student body. The Park Tudor Singers performed musical selections.

Welcoming Remarks: Gareth Vaughan, Head of School

Wow, that is quite inspiring but unfortunately it is the text of an advertisement for Budweiser beer. So I nearly sent you off into the world with advice from a beer commercial…

“Some weeks before graduation I start looking for some type of inspiration that can form the basis of this speech. Poetry, quotations, inspirational anecdotes - I try to consider them all. Fortunately, the internet has greatly aided in widening the scope of the search, just as it has aided countless students and others as they search for information to write an essay or solve a problem at work or prepare a speech.

Turning to the internet I focused on the famous Winston Churchill quote: ‘Success is not final; failure is not fatal; it is the courage to continue that counts.’ ...But there was a problem. On three occasions in recent months I had turned on the TV and caught the last 15 minutes of 'Darkest Hour,' the 2017 movie about Churchill and his leadership of Britain at that crucial moment in the Second World War when it seemed all was lost. Irritating though it was to always catch the last 15 minutes of the movie, it did inspire me to buy and read Churchill Walking with Destiny, a new biography by Andrew Roberts that was published last fall…

And I suddenly realized I had no recollection of Andrew Roberts including this famous quote in his biography of Churchill.

I pored through the book; I couldn’t find it anywhere. So I returned to the internet and asked it a more interesting question - did Churchill ever say, Success is not final...and the answer was that he had not. In fact serious researchers, historians and social scientists had searched in vain for a person who could rightly be identified as the author of the words. It just seemed to have grown over time through hundreds of slight adjustments and retellings of what were probably a handful of old adages.

One of the most complete versions dates from 1938, in Life magazine: ‘Men with the spirit of youth pioneered our America...men with vision and sturdy confidence. They found contentment in the thrill of action, knowing that success was never final and failure never fatal. It was courage that counted. Isn’t opportunity in America today greater than it was in the days of our grateful forefathers? Good!’

So the message to me, that I pass on to you, is trust painstakingly written and thoughtfully reviewed books, trust scholarship and research, don’t judge the truth of a thing by the number of people who repeat it, don’t cut corners, take time to find the truth, treat it with respect (particularly if you don’t like it), and treat the internet with extreme caution - it is about as reliable as a Magic 8-Ball.”

Greetings from Alumni: Ryan Gershman ’04, Principal at Gershman Partners “If I can offer one piece of advice and try to convince you of one thing it would be this: BE PATIENT. The definition of patience is: ‘The quality of being patient, as the bearing of provocation, annoyance, misfortune, or pain without complaint, loss of temper, irritation or the like;’ ‘an ability or willingness to suppress restlessness or annoyance when confronted with delay;’ quiet, steady perseverance; even-tempered care; diligence.’ ...You have grown up in an era of instant gratification with social media, Amazon and high-powered computers in your pockets. However, there will be people that do not return your phone calls, do not return your emails and some cases do not even take you seriously. Be patient and use this to your advantage.

Have you ever heard of someone losing their patience and going off the handle and it leading to a positive outcome? In fact, it’s probably the opposite. The loss of patience will likely lead to an embarrassing situation and be counter-productive. Trust me, I have been there.

And don’t take it from me. Bill Gates said, ‘Patience is a key element of success.’ Pretty smart guy. Gandhi said, ‘To lose patience is to lose the battle.’ ...What I wish for you all is the ability to have the self-

awareness to focus on yourself, be honest and strive to improve every day. It is no different than practicing a sport or an instrument, so you must practice on yourself and always seek improvement. This is a long game and it takes constant work.

I promise if you put in the work now to be able to calmly deal with life’s daily intricacies, you will have a leg up and your patience will lead to opportunities.

at the heart of community identity...Food is how we show love and care for one another, how we console one another, how we honor one another...Most importantly, food helps us to document experience and curate the past. So maybe here, right now, we can spend a sweet moment together, breaking bread. Maybe we can share something sweet. You (students, teachers, administrators) were left a little treat on your chair.

Open it now, if you are so inclined, and take a bite. Never fear, it is completely nut-free, dairy-free, gluten-free - really hypoallergenic!

It took me a long time to realize that Park Tudor helped lay the foundation to be the best version of myself. Park Tudor taught me that you need to put in the work and be patient. So to bring this full circle, class of 2019, many of the people in this room - your PT community, your parents, teachers and staff - have spent years being patient with you. Now it is your turn to go out, be patient and be the best version of yourself.”

Greetings from the Faculty: Jane Sidey, Global Scholars Program Director “...Our community is important - it is precious. It is true that it is living and growing and breathing. Every year, Park Tudor expands, fills its lungs, to receive and welcome new faculty, new families, and new students. But it also contracts and exhales a little when we lose members, especially around this time of year as you graduate and get ready to move and join another community. We know you are still Panthers, but we feel the loss of you nonetheless, and we have to adjust to a new atmosphere and way of engaging with each other. Your going, your leaving, even changes the buildings slightly. So, it would be nice, would it not, to take a breath and remember us just as we are now.

How do we do this? I started to think about ways we might ensure that the events of the day stick and implant some strategies, maybe use a little of that brain and memory science so that we all recall something from today...Some of you know my fascination with a growing area of anthropology called 'foodways.' ...Foodways is the philosophical study of what we eat, when we eat, where we eat it, why we eat it, and who we eat it with. Sharing food and breaking bread is central to the human condition. The stories we tell about food permeate our historical and cultural narratives and lie

It is a simple mint. But mint (the plant, and the flavor, and the smell) is symbolic. Ancient societies associated it with ideals such as virtue, warmth, and protection. And these qualities seem perfectly appropriate to those any alma mater or beloved mother would want for her children. To promote a life of moral goodness and offer warmth and protection is exactly the job of a good school. Mint also has a practical application, as your faces will no doubt be in close proximity with the noses of other people as you hug your hellos and goodbyes during the forthcoming social events.

American poet Richard Hovey said, ‘Pleasant memories must be arranged in advance,’ and now with your brains thoroughly primed and coaxed into recollecting this event, on behalf of your teachers I wish you a lifetime of such pleasant memories, the kind where - like now - you are on the cusp of everything that is new, exciting, and extraordinary. Congratulations once again and good speed.”

Greetings from the Student Body: Adam Katz ’20, Student Council President-Elect “As I have followed the class of 2019, it has been amazing to watch the accomplishments of these 91 students. They are attending 53 different universities, in 19 states plus the District of Columbia. This class produced 11 National Merit Finalists, and three Presidential Scholar semifinalists. They achieved these goals not just because of their brilliance, but their willingness to forge relationships with faculty members to guide them to academic success.

The class of 2019’s triumphs in the classroom have continued on the athletic fields. They led their teams by mentoring the underclassmen, while also making Park Tudor history. In the fall, the women’s soccer team made it to their first-ever semi state, and gave us the greatest spectacle in the sectional championship. The men’s tennis team went to the state finals for an 8th-consecutive year. And it was a group of seniors that decided to bring softball back to PT’s athletic lineup. The Park Tudor family has been fortunate to experience four semi states, two Marion County titles and 21 conference championships.

They have given us the opportunity to be immersed in Panther madness, from their freshman year to today.

This class is also leaving their mark on the Fine Arts department. Beginning their freshman year they have been active in the music department, theatre, and visual arts. Their talents have been inspiring, energizing Ayres Auditorium with amazing performances such as Anything Goes and Legally Blonde while enhancing the halls with their artistic abilities.

But what I love most about this class is their willingness to strive for social justice and raise awareness for groups that are underrepresented, and historically mistreated. When they see someone is being put down because of their ethnicity, gender, or religion, they have consistently enlightened and educated the student body with their presentations, activism, and discussions through open mic nights. ...When I look around at the class of 2019 I know that we will be talking about your accomplishments in years to come. But along the way as you forge your own path do not forget to take the experiences and education you received at Park Tudor and know you always have a home - in Panther Nation."

The Upper School Speech & Debate Teams both had their National Speech and Debate Association National Qualifiers Tournament in the "Hoosier Heartland" District on Friday and Saturday, March 1 and 2. The top two competitors at National Qualifiers were awarded the honor of representing the district at the NSDA National Tournament this summer in Dallas, TX. On the Speech side, sophomore Imaan Mirza put in a fantastic performance in the Informative Speaking category, qualifying for Nationals with her piece "First Comes Love (Then Comes Marriage)." Senior Matt Fu will also be heading to Dallas in the Extemporaneous Speaking category, in which students respond off-the-cuff to topics in international politics. This is a repeat performance for Matt, who qualified last year for this honor in the same category. Rounding out the speech competitors, both freshman Nandini Mathavan and sophomore Jade Thomas advanced to the final round with their respective Informative Speaking and Prose pieces.

On the Debate side, Lincoln-Douglas style debaters prepared their cases on a resolution asking whether the U.S. should provide military aid to authoritarian regimes. Sophomore Audrey Pan advanced to the second day of competition with senior Alec Weiker, competing in his final high school tournament. In the two-on two format category known as Public Forum, Park Tudor's three teams debated whether or not the U.S. government should prioritize paying off the national debt or fostering short-term growth. Seniors Arunabh Sinha and Ammar Athar took their first few ballots and also advanced to late rounds on the second day, while fellow PFers Anna Ji, Rex Burkman, Ahmed Athar, and William Morris gained valuable experience.

PT Theatre Students and Faculty Spend Spring Break in London

By Nicole Tremblay, Theatre Director and Middle and Upper School Drama Teacher

Over spring break, Park Tudor’s Theatre Department traveled to London for an experiential learning adventure. Senior William Main, juniors Oliver Main and Michael Gibbs, sophomore Matthew Wessler, and freshmen Chloe English, Stella Friskney, Alicia Zelmanovitz and Raiden Miyamoto travelled with Mr. Nolan Brokamp and me. The focus of our trip was to see theatre on the global stage, in a city where the arts are thriving.

We toured Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, where we met an actress for the Royal Shakespeare Company, who ran a workshop exploring the text in King Lear. We visited Colfe’s School in Greenwich, where actress Maggie Bain led a workshop using Frantic Assembly’s rehearsal techniques. Frantic Assembly is a theatre company renowned for their movement direction for film, TV, and stage. We had a backstage tour of the National Theatre, considered one of central London’s top employers.

Around 4,000 people worked at the National Theatre in 2017-18 - from actors, to ushers, to scenic artists. The National Theatre offers an interesting argument for investment in the arts: “The NT receives a regular grant from Arts Council England of £16.7m each year. Grants allow us to tour our work around the country, run learning and participation programs, protect our lowest ticket prices (which offers any person under 25 entry to every play they produce for £15) and invest in the development of new work and world-leading artists. Public funding for the arts makes up just 0.05% of Government spending and delivers a return of £5 in taxes for every £1 invested. This modest investment in the Arts is one of the reasons why the Creative Industries are the fastest growing part of the UK economy.”

Jesse Fox, one of my students from the UK, is now an actor, playwright and director. We interviewed him and met his theatre company at the New Diaorama Theatre, as they ran a technical rehearsal for their new show, Keep Watching, which explores the impact surveillance is having on society. Jesse talked about his journey from high school to university, giving advice about how to audition for theatre programs at university, and his professional life so far. His advice to our students: “In theatre, know how to make meaningful work so that you don’t have to rely on someone else to hire you. Although it’s great when you get commercial work, my background in devising and original-theatre making has been what’s kept me working for years.”

London theatre always has interesting new works, and Hundred Words for Snow by Tatty Hennessey didn’t disappoint.

A one-woman show exploring a teenager’s grief after losing her father was poignant, hilarious, and moving. Seeing Matilda got us excited for when we will perform the musical on our own stage (soon, but not next year!), and the new musical, Everybody’s Talking About Jaime, had us dancing in our seats. We finished the week off with The Woman in Black, a two-man show meant to horrify audiences; the theatre was full of screams.

The London Theatre trip was transformational for all of us and we are grateful for the opportunity to offer such an extraordinary experience for students and teachers alike.

“The London theatre trip was one of the most meaningful traveling experiences I’ve ever had. Since I’m very interested in pursuing a career in the arts, this trip gave me a detailed look into the world of theatre, mainly through the eyes of performers, writers, and directors. Workshops such as scene study at The Globe theatre and physical theatre with Frantic Assembly really furthered my understanding of how to connect with audiences. After each and every show, we all left the theatre with a new perspective or sense of excitement. Even the streets of London were dramatic. We saw so many interesting things like street performers, carts selling an array of foods, graffitied walls that seemed to never end, and of course Pizza Express. I will take a lot away from this adventure including lasting memories, inside jokes, new friendships, and an even stronger love for theatre.”

Upper School Students Team Up with First Graders to “Create-a-Creature”

By Marlina Koonce, Upper School Ceramics Teacher & Tracey Petrov, Lower School Art Teacher

What do you get when you combine the imagination of a first grader with the skills of an Upper School Ceramics student?

Adorable sculptures of imaginative creatures!

Loosely based off of the recent trend of having your child’s artwork turned into a keychain, stuffed animal, or actual toy, we wondered “what if Upper School Ceramics students sculpted 3D versions of Lower School students’ drawings?” The possibilities were endless!

Lower School Art teacher Tracey Petrov asked students to draw a creature from their imagination. The task was very open-ended except for the knowledge that their drawings would be sculpted by Ceramics students. The first graders needed to think through how to communicate their ideas on paper so that they could be built out of clay - a straight crayon line could be a coil or a flattened shape. A circle could stay a circle or be transformed into a sphere.

The first graders did a fantastic job with their creations including little notes about the creature’s likes or dislikes. Each Ceramics student then selected the creatures they wished to create. Since there are approximately three times as many first graders as there are Ceramics students, each Ceramics student made two to three creatures so that each first grader would have a creature to take home.

For the Upper School students, what seemed like an easy task create what you see - proved to be a bit more challenging than they expected. Rising to the challenge, the Ceramics students needed to do their best to keep the sculpted version of each creature true to the original while determining how to interpret certain details. They also needed to consider what the back of the creature looked like and how to make the creature sit or, if possible, stand. Many creatures took a lot of trial and error, and students made improvements and adjustments with each version.

Some details were carved or sculpted on while others were painted. Students were also introduced to incorporating wire that was safe to fire with the clay, opening up possible solutions for where thin lines were used in the original drawing. Some students even took the liberty of adding googly eyes or using pipe cleaner for hair.

PARK TUDOR PHOENIX SUMMER 2019

Commentary from the Upper School students was overwhelmingly positive, though they did express a major concern: “What if they do not like what we created?” Knowing these sculptures were for other students and not wanting to cause any disappointment, the Upper School students took care and pride with each and every creature, putting in their absolute best effort. Those efforts paid off as the results have received nothing but high praise from all who have viewed them. Many Ceramics students also appreciated the collaboration with the first graders as it took some of the initial intimidation out of developing their own ideas and allowed them to focus instead on the techniques needed to create successful sculptures.

The first grade students were very excited about the collaboration; the most challenging aspect of the project for them was patience.

Their work for the project started and finished with the drawing and description. Even though they were given all the information about the collaboration, especially discussions about the work the Upper School students would be doing to make their creatures three-dimensional, the waiting was the hardest part. Many of the first graders made an extra effort as they passed the Ceramics studio to peek in and try to find their monster and share what they had seen with their peers as they entered the Lower School art room for their class.

The anticipation for the first graders was resolved when the creatures were placed on display in the Ceramics Gallery. There were many excited squeals and “That one is mine!” exclaimed by the first graders as they viewed them for the first time. One student even said, “I thought my legs would be clay, but those are much better!” as he observed that wire was used to create his creature’s legs. Upper School Ceramics students eventually got together with the first graders to celebrate the collaboration and share about the creation process for the creatures.

TWENTY YEARS OF THE LEGACY INITIATIVE PROJECT

By Kathryn Lerch, Director of the Legacy Initiative Project; Upper School Social Studies Teacher

In November 1999, little did I realize that a history project begun on a whim and as part of a short-term collaboration with the English Department would end up serving and inspiring hundreds of Park Tudor students with opportunities for handson-history for twenty years. This unique project and our school has received accolades and recognition from parents, alumni, the American Legion, Sen. Richard Lugar, the Library of Congress Veteran History Project, the Indiana Historical Society, The American Legion, the World War II Roundtable, and the D.A.R. More importantly, memorable connections have been made between students, families and veterans.

Examples of special projects under the umbrella of the Legacy Initiative include:

• Almost 800 oral history interviews and transcripts

documenting veteran stories from around the world and deposited in the Library of Congress Veteran History Project. More than 350 interviews are online at our site at IUPUI Library.

• Six published anthologies in the Words of War series including unique selections from previously unpublished letters, diaries, photographs, reminiscences, and oral history interviews.

• Student-designed dust jackets for volumes 5 and 6, as well as maps and charts to enhance stories.

• Four travel journals which incorporate Legacy materials linked to historical themed trips to England, France, Germany, Austria, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Greece and Italy.

• More than five research trips to the National Archives and or attendance at Civil War conferences so that students can experience hands-on-history work and learn from professional historians.

• The Initiative has collected original artifacts such as maps, photographs, journals, letters, and diaries which continue to be available for hands-on use in history classes.

• Students have been the recipients of Vonnegut Scholar Travel Grants for research-related study. Two beneficiaries for 2018-2019 are Trace Held ‘20 and Daniel Ehrlich ’20.

Technology has also evolved, expanding from the project’s web page which provides information on publications, links

PARK TUDOR PHOENIX SUMMER 2019

for research, and recognition of veterans, to new technologies not available twenty years ago. Scans of primary resources, video clips and sound files are more likely now to be digital and are available to students and other researchers via Google Docs and the Cloud. Greater community collaboration is also key; students, educators and families are encouraged to work together to produce publishable manuscripts.

In 2019-2020 there will be a series of monograph publications, including most of the following topics:

• WWI Major John G. Emery, 1st Division AEF & later 3rd Commander of the American Legion

• WWI Sgt Raymond Featherstone who served on US Navy Sub-chaser No. 38 in the UK

• WWII Major Pierce W. Powers, a surgeon with 4th Auxiliary Surgical Group in England, France and beyond

• WWII T/Sgt Ernest Lorch, military intelligence with CSDIC (British) & SHAEF in North Africa, Italy, France, Belgium and Germany • WWII Lt. E. G. Blankenship, fighter pilot USS INTREPID in the Pacific

Summer travel for research and exploration also provides unique opportunities for students. The latest “Ultimate Field Trip” occurred in late June 2019. During this trip, two students and accompanying faculty visited numerous WWII sites, museums and archives in England, France, and Germany. Research can only be successful however with good preparation. Trace Held ’20, Daniel Ehrlich ’20, and Leo Helman ’19 reviewed 250+ WWII letters and used clues in the letters, medical unit histories, and maps to identify routes taken by Major Powers from Utah Beach across France and beyond. In addition, Daniel Ehrlich researched Emery’s WWI collection and delved into his regiment’s records at the National Archives. Our group followed in some of Emery’s footsteps with a visit to Blois and Chambord, which is also the location of a large WWI camp for our doughboys from 1917-1919. Emery returned to Blois in 1921 to dedicate a statue there when he led the American Legion delegation on a tour of France.

NEWS OF THE SCHOOL

The Imperial War Museum and the Churchill War Rooms in London provided an excellent overview of WWII in England and on the Continent. Sailing from Portsmouth to Normandy and visiting the invasion beaches and war cemeteries helped put the events of D-Day into perspective, and finally visiting the Invalides Museum in Paris, the Documentation Center and Trial Rooms in Nuremberg, and Dachau outside Munich enhanced the students’ learning experience.

In 2019-2020, the Legacy Initiative will continue to publish and engage new and returning students through hands-on experiences with Legacy resources in World Civilization and US History classes. If you or someone you know has a collection of letters, diaries, photographs, or wartime realia that relates to family history or wartime experiences, please contact me.

Students can help digitize, research, and interview and gain experience as a historian.

Sports News— Girls Tennis is State Runner-Up

Girls Tennis The girls tennis team had an amazing season with 44 girls at all levels of play participating on the team. This was the largest and most competitive team yet for Head Coach Andrea Calvert Sanders.

The team finished as the IHSAA Girls Team State Championship Finalist. On the road to State, they won the Sectional Championship, defeating the International School and longtime rival Brebeuf Jesuit. The team posted tournament wins over Avon, Zionsville, Terre Haute South, Munster and Center Grove to make it to the finals before losing a very close match to Cathedral (ranked number one in the state) 3-2.

Girls Lacrosse The girls lacrosse team finished the regular season 8-8, an increase in wins from the 2018 season. They faced Cathedral in the Sectional semifinal and ended their season with a strong step forward for the future.

Although they faced some tough competition, it brought the team closer together to become even hungrier for the next season. We celebrated this season at the end of May and had many acknowledgments for the players successes. All player successes may seem individual, but this group of players knows they couldn’t have done it without the rest of the team.

Coaches Award - Senior Sarah Enkema; Leadership Award/ Honorable Mention All-Sectional – Junior/Captain Kaelie Paugh; Sportsmanship Award – Junior/Captain Jordan Snow; Fighting Heart – Senior/Captain Olivia Murphy Mental Attitude & Ms. Hustle Award/Honorable Mention All-Sectional – Sophomore Olivia White; Academic All-State – Nicole Lueck, Jordan Snow, Kaelie Paugh; Rookie of the Year – Freshman Colina Miroff; Most Improved Player - Freshman Sara Nazar; Most Valuable Player Defense – Sophomore Zawadi Kigamwa; Most Valuable Player Offense/First Team All-Sectional/First Team All-Regional - Sophomore Margaret McClain; Most Valuable Player – Sophomore Lucy Crossin. Lucy was also selected First Team All-Sectional, First Team All-Regional, Honorable Mention All-State, and led the league with 6.6 points per game.

Boys Golf The boys golf team had a very successful 2019 campaign that was capped off with a Sectional Championship and fourth place finish out of 18 teams at the Regional Tournament, just missing the top three and a trip the State Finals. The Panthers also finished third out of 16 teams at the Marion County Tournament.

The following players were named to the All-State First Team: Lauren Long, Jule Schulte, Caroline Kittle, Kitty Greenwalt and Sarah Klapper. Lauren Kittle and Ellie Sing earned All-State Honorable Mention. The team was named Academic Team AllState for having a 3.6 or higher GPA. For the second year in a row, the team captured the Marion County Tournament, defeating Perry Meridian, Decatur Central, North Central and Brebeuf. Lauren Long, Jule Schulte, Caroline Kittle, Kitty Greenwalt, Sarah Klapper, Lauren Long and Ellie Sing were named Marion County Coaches of Girls Sports Association All-County.

The team also captured the Indiana Crossroads Conference Championships. Lauren Long, Jule Schulte, Caroline Kittle, Kitty Greenwalt, Sarah Klapper, Lauren Kittle and Ellie Sing were named All-Conference.

Freshman Ian Harris also had a sub-80 18-hole stroke average with a 79.38. Harris closed the season strong with a runner-up finish to Surtani in the Sectional Tournament and a seventh place finish in the Regional Tournament.

Boys Lacrosse Led by seniors Gavin Gershman, Michael Magdycz, Logan Mobasser, and Will Wallentine, the boys lacrosse team finished 7-6 and ranked 31st in the state. Gershman, Mobasser, and sophomore Tate Surtani all finished among the top 40 goal scorers in Indiana, and goalie Charlie Rominger ranked 15th in Indiana in save percentage. Wallentine made both the Academic All-State Team and the Indiana All-Academic Team. Mobasser represented Park Tudor in the 2019 Indiana High School Lacrosse Association All-Star Game. Park Tudor’s program was recognized by the IHSLA as the recipient of the 2019 Honor the Game Award. Rising senior Zach Aldridge and rising juniors Surtani and Rominger have been elected team captains for 2020.

Baseball The Park Tudor baseball team got off to a fast start, going 2-1 during their annual trip to Nashville, TN and then winning their first few games once they returned to Indiana, making them 5-2. The great promise they showed early in the season continued as they worked to improve their game each and every day. They had a strong showing in April as they knocked off some strong opponents that included class 2A-ranked Wapahani and Lutheran. They also played well in the Marion County Tournament, but were defeated in the first round 2-1 by Perry Meridian.

Track and Field The track and field team made steady progress throughout the season with many athletes achieving personal best efforts. Two athletes qualified and placed at the Indoor State Meet: Taylee Nibbs placed 13th in Long Jump and Gabe Jones placed 11th in Shot Put. During the outdoor season, many athletes placed at the Indiana Crossroads Conference championships: Taylee Nibbs 2nd in the 200, 4th in the 400, and 4th in Long Jump; Ben Clifford 3rd in the 1600; Elijah Miller 2nd in the High Jump and 2nd in the Long Jump; Gabe Jones 2nd in the Shot Put and 2nd in the Discus Throw; and Brennan Wittler 4th in the Shot Put and 6th in the Discus Throw.

Sectional individual place finishers included: Taylee Nibs in the Long Jump; Trinitie Terrell in the Shot Put and Discus Throw; Ben Clifford in the 1600; Elijah Miller in the Long Jump; Gabe Jones in the Shot Put and Discus Throw; and Brennan Wittler in the Shot Put and Discus Throw. In addition, Gabe Jones qualified to the North Central IHSAA Regional Meet in both Shot Put and Discus Throw. The boys team placed 2nd (out of 10) in the Park Tudor Invitational meet and 4th (out of 8) in the conference meet. End-of-season award winners included Gabe Jones and Trinitie Terrell for Field MVP; Ben Clifford and Taylee Nibbs for Track MVP; Ethan Piper and Alicia Aaholm for Coaches Award; and Alex Morgan, Taylee Nibbs, Milan Pasic, Gabe Perry, and Brennan Wittler for 4-Year Participation Award. Team captains were Ben Clifford, Alex Morgan, and Taylee Nibbs.

The team faced many challenges throughout the season including illness and injuries; however, they met each adverse situation with a positive attitude. The Panthers earned a few marquee wins throughout the second half of their season, defeating the Bulldogs from Monrovia High School and the Trojans from Bishop Chatard. Toward the end of the season the Panthers competed in five extra-inning games in 16 days - a true test for the team, but they battled their way through in preparation for the IHSAA tournament.

The Panthers entered the post-season tournament against the Cadets from Cascade High School in opening-round action, winning 3-2 and advancing to the Sectional semifinal on Memorial Day. The squad was victorious again vs. Covenant Christian by a score of 5-2, but were defeated in the Sectional championship game by Speedway High School. This season the team was consistently led by a great group of seniors: Jake Baker, Tommy Gallagher, Chris Wilson, and Caleb Thomas. The team had three Academic All-State selections: Jake Baker, Chris Wilson, and Tommy Gallagher. Senior Chris Wilson was also selected to the Indiana North/South All-Star Team.

Trevor Sullivan, Tommy Gallagher and Jake Baker earned ICC Academic All-Conference honors. Seniors Tommy Gallagher and Chris Wilson were also among the 18 players named to the ICC All-Conference team.

Softball After a hiatus, softball returned to the PT athletics line up.

In this revival season, the Panthers played some of the largest schools in the state with games against Warren Central, Pike and softball powerhouse Roncalli. It was a season full of fun and individual improvement.

Three team members were named Indiana Crossroads Outstanding Academic Achievement Award winners: Rebecca Bamforth, Sydney Loehr and Alissa Honigford.

The team finished their season with a loss in the Sectional against Ritter. The team graduated two seniors, Rebecca Bamforth and Alissa Honigford, which leaves 10 players returning for next season. The future of PT softball looks very bright!

Alumni Feature: Micah Johnson ’09 Pursues a Future in Art After Baseball

By Cathy Yingling Chapelle ’87

After a successful career in Major League Baseball with teams including the Chicago White Sox, Los Angeles Dodgers and Atlanta Braves, Micah Johnson ’09 is pursuing his passion for art through a new startup called CoArt. CoArt is a mobile art discovery platform, designed to connect art lovers with museums, exhibitions and galleries, and will eventually allow patrons to purchase art online.

Micah first began exploring his artistic side through painting, primarily during the off-season. While his art has been displayed in exhibitions in Los Angeles, Atlanta and Kansas City, Micah’s main focus now is CoArt.

Micah Johnson ’09 pictured in CoArt's "Art of Racing" Exhibit

I recently caught up with Micah in Indianapolis, where he was in town for the “Art of Racing” exhibit he created downtown during the month of May as a way to promote CoArt. Where did the idea for the “Art of Racing” exhibition come from?

“Pop-up” and experiential art exhibitions like the Museum of Ice Cream and Candytopia have become very popular on the coasts and in big cities. I thought that people in Indy would be aware of those exhibitions, and integrating it with racing seemed like a good way to introduce people to art.

The goal of the “Art of Racing” was to make people more aware of CoArt and get them to follow us on Instagram (@coartapp).

The media coverage of the exhibition has been great, but we’ve found that it’s really social media that has sold tickets. People come here and post their Instagram photos, and that makes other people want to come check it out. Originally I was going to limit visitors to 20-minute time slots, but we’ve had people come and spend two hours here trying to get that perfect Instagram shot.

Tell me more about CoArt. What are the benefits for patrons and artists?

Millennials are the fastest growing demographic when it comes to buying art, so this is a way to connect them with various artists to discover artwork they might want to buy, find out what’s happening at museums and galleries near them, and access exclusive content personalized just for them. Artworks on the site will start at around $100 and go up to about $5,000.

For artists, we pay a higher commission than what they typically get from galleries. We also take care of the shipping and provide really unique packaging, so the “unboxing” experience will be great for our art purchasers.

What similarities do you see between professional sports and art?

How did your experience at Park Tudor prepare you for what you are doing now?

If someone is working as a professional artist, that didn’t just happen by accident - it takes a lot of hard work over a long period of time, just like being a professional athlete. It takes the same amount of sometimes mind-numbing work to get to a certain level.

Park Tudor is such an inclusive environment. The kids at Park Tudor come from diverse backgrounds and pursue a lot of different things. I had the opportunity to take ballet, and I had a lot of friends who participated in the arts. Park Tudor is a place where you can experiment and try things that might make you uncomfortable. It definitely made me much more willing to take risks and try new things.

Professional baseball is grueling. You work 200 days a year with maybe five days off, and that takes a lot of discipline. I applied the same discipline to creating the “Art of Racing” exhibition; I had some days when I didn’t sleep while I was putting everything together.

PARK TUDOR PHOENIX SUMMER 2019

What was your most memorable experience at Park Tudor?

I think my freshman year at Park Tudor was the most fun I’ve had playing baseball. We made it to Semi-State and I hit a double in that game that put us in the lead. That was the first time I realized that I could play at a higher level.

ALUMNI FEATURE

With your goal of being a professional athlete, were you ever concerned that you wouldn’t be identified as a top prospect at a smaller school like Park Tudor?

I never worried about that. I just put in a lot of work and figured that if I was good, people would find out about me - I spent hours hitting off a T in the wrestling room during my free periods. I think today with the internet, it’s even easier for kids to be discovered, so my advice is always to just focus on the work and don’t worry about being discovered.

What’s next for CoArt? The app is going to launch later this summer; we’ll be beta testing it very soon.

We’re also looking at possibly doing a “Welcome to Indiana” exhibition in Bloomington to coincide with Welcome Week for the new students and the three home football games they have during the first month of school.
