From the Head’s Desk We are gratified to have nearly completed this extraordinary year. While it has certainly presented challenges, I am feeling optimistic that we are beginning to return to more normalcy as our community is increasingly able to access COVID-19 vaccines.
One question I am asked regularly - and certainly the pandemic has raised - is about academic standards. Specifically, some wonder if Park Tudor has relaxed academic rigor and/or admissions standards. Especially in uncertain times, some assume that we must lower our standards in order to maintain enrollment. The data does not bear this out. I recently combed through test data for our students going back 10+ years, and found that it has remained remarkably consistent throughout this period. I looked at PSAT, ACT and AP scores as well as admissions testing data, and found that the scores have remained steady. I used PSAT scores instead of SAT scores because the SAT changed its scoring scale several years ago, so it wouldn’t be a valid comparison. As you have likely noted, the landscape of college admissions is changing in regard to standardized tests like the SAT, ACT and even APs. Many schools have gone test-optional, especially following the pandemic. Fortunately, we have a very experienced College Counseling department that will continue helping our students to successfully navigate this process.

While we might not yet know what future assessments may look like, we do know that academic rigor will always remain at the heart of a Park Tudor education, even as we strive to provide our students with a well-rounded education and a range of opportunities in athletics, the fine arts and extracurriculars. We should all feel proud of both our heritage and the superb education that we continue to provide to our students as we prepare them for college and beyond.

Girls Basketball The Park Tudor girls basketball team finished its season 13-6. This was an outstanding accomplishment since the team had no seniors, had no home games all year, practiced at Sports Zone every day, and had several games rescheduled due to COVID-19.
Swimming Despite the fact that spectators were not allowed to attend swim meets throughout the entire season due to the pandemic, the Park Tudor swim team had another successful year. With 30 swimmers on the squad, the team greatly improved throughout the season as each and every swimmer showed individual improvements. On the girls' side, the team posted their best finish of the season in tournament swimming at the IHSAA sectional, finishing 10th. Freshman Kate Weigand finished 11th in the 50 freestyle and 12th in the 100 breaststroke, and swam in the consolation heats at sectionals. The girls 200 Freestyle Relay team, which consisted of McCullough Jordan, Ellie Rogers, Ellie Hunter, and Zoe Paugh, finished 9th. The girls team also posted a first place finish towards the end of their regular season in the PT Invitational vs. Arsenal Tech, Scecina, and Shortridge.
The team had a lot of fun this season. Whether it was sophomores Sia Patel, Olivia Lacy and Yael Ehrlich singing karaoke on the bus ride home or Gretchen Farley doing a Napoleon Dynamite dance routine at a pep rally before the Sectional, these young women had a great balance between competitive athletics and being a high school student. Sophomore Layla Gold was named All Marion County First Team and 1st Team All Conference. Junior Halle Shelt was named All Marion County Honorable Mention and 2nd Team All Conference. Layla and Halle were also named to the Indianapolis Star Super Team - Honorable Mention. Juniors Jose Lacy and Sara Gomperts earned Academic All Conference. The future is very bright for the Panthers!
On the boys' side, every PT swimmer had a season or lifetime best swim at the sectional meet in February. Highlights included Anthony Peng, who posted a 16th place finish in the 100 butterfly and a lifetime-best time. The team also posted a strong effort in the 200 Medley Relay, earning a 9th place finish. The 200 Medley Relay team consisted of Jack Button, Sreesragvee Atluri, Anthony Peng, and Peter Dubie. New-comer Sreesragvee Atluri also finished 14th in the 100 breaststroke. Alex Badman helped lead the boys, finishing 11th in the 100 freestyle with a season-best time in the finals at the Sectional Championship. The team also posted a first place finish in the PT Invitational vs. Arsenal Tech, Scecina, and Shortridge.

Boys Basketball The boys basketball season was filled with challenges throughout the year. Despite having to deal with COVID quarantines and playing all of their games on the road, the team still managed to have a great season. The Panthers experienced some adversity early on with a few close losses to some 4A powerhouses, but found their groove as they won nine games in a row heading into the IHSAA Sectional tournament. Some highlights from the season were big wins on the road at Heritage Christian, Crawfordsville and Lafayette Central Catholic. The six seniors on the team did a fantastic job of creating a winning culture over the last three years under Coach Tim Adams. Although the season ended with a second-round loss in the Sectional tournament, these six seniors have left the program in a better position than when they started in it four years ago. We give a big thank you to seniors (pictured below) Malachi Archey, Alex Drics, Wise Wells, JC Glenn, Ronald Johnson and Kishawn Taylor and for all they have done for the school and our basketball program.

Senior Annie Flowers wins Indiana State Lincoln-Douglas Debate Championship On January 30, Senior Annie Flowers became the 2021 Indiana State Lincoln-Douglas Debate Champion. The State Tournament, which was held online this year, included more than 200 debate competitors from 30+ schools across Indiana. Annie took the state title by going undefeated over two days in eight matches. After advancing to the "Sweet Sixteen," she bested debaters from Chesterton High School, Munster High School, and West Lafayette High School, before facing Amrita Kulkarni from Penn High School in the final match. She won three out of five ballots in that last debate to become the 2021 State Champion. This is the first time in many years that a debater from Indianapolis has become State Champion, as the Indiana debate circuit has been dominated for decades by schools from the Northwestern corner of the State. Annie is the first Park Tudor student to win the State Championship. Lincoln-Douglas Debate (LD) is "value debate," where debaters must choose a value to uphold at the beginning of the round, argue that their value is more critical than their opponent’s value, and argue that their side of the resolution is most likely to achieve their value. Annie had to debate the January NSDA Lincoln-Douglas resolution which asked whether or not international states ought to outlaw lethal autonomous weapons. In the final round, she was on the negative and won over a majority of the IHSFA judges. As one of those judges stated on Annie’s final ballot, "The more convincing arguments were made by Annie as the negative speaker and in fact it was the rebuttal speech which convinced me to vote NEG."
Annie Flowers Below: Annie's debate career and teammates through the years.
The day after the tournament, she reported that she was "still reeling" from the win. PT debate coach, Dr. Matthew McGrath, recalling the tense moments between each of the last rounds said, "Watching Annie win round after round was like being on the bench sitting next to a pitcher who is tossing a perfect game. No one wants to jinx it or mess it up. She was using her natural eloquence and not overthinking what she was accomplishing every time she advanced." Since Annie is graduating this year, this was her final debate season; she capped off her high school career in fine form.

Student Feature: Edgar Sarratt ’21 Makes Waves in the Digital Music World
By Cathy Yingling Chapelle ’87
It’s called Hyperpop or Digicore - a genre-bending mix of hip hop, rap, and electronic music created almost solely online. And Park Tudor senior Edgar Sarratt, who goes by the artist name Midwxst, is one of its rising stars. I recently sat down with Edgar to learn more about his burgeoning music career.

PARK TUDOR PHOENIX SPRING 2021
STUDENT FEATURE
What makes Hyperpop unique?
What inspires the subject matter of your lyrics?
It’s almost totally digital and created online, and the fact that it is so internet-based makes it possible to form relationships with other artists all over the world to bring the music to life. I get beats from friends everywhere; for example I have a friend in the Bahamas who will send me beats and I will rap over them. There are lots of electronic elements in hyperpop; I think my music has gotten attention because I incorporate meaningful rap lyrics over electronic beats.
I really want to show people that it’s ok to talk about your problems, and confront issues that you’re faced with. I try to openly share my vulnerability and problems in my lyrics. I think that young men are often taught to be macho men and not to speak too much. I want to break those norms. I’m inspired by my own past experiences and the relief of opening up. I’ve gone through my share of rough mental patches, and I’ve found that if you open up about them, there are so many people in your life who can help you. You are never alone.
The Hyperpop community is so welcoming and accepting; it’s really been easy to connect and network with people online. That’s how I met my manager, who then introduced me to high-level producers and record labels. How did you choose your artist name, Midwxst? Honestly I thought it looked cool. It started with Instagram; I changed my Instagram name and then decided I would make it my artist name. I also have a love for Indiana. I’ve moved around a lot and Indiana is one of two places that are home to me - I’ve lived here for 8-½ years. I want Indiana to get more recognition than it does, and for people to know more about Indiana than the Pacers and the Colts. I think the few wellknown artists from Indiana, like Michael Jackson, don’t really represent the state to its full extent. How did you get started in music? I grew up surrounded by music - it was always playing in my house. My sister (Kamryn Sarratt ’18) was a singer and performed in musicals and vocal concerts. Park Tudor got me into music in Lower School, since vocal music is a requirement. That was my basis to start singing. Then I got into band in Middle School; I played the trumpet and then moved into the baritone in Upper School. After 10th grade I started focusing on my own music outside of school, as an extracurricular. But my training in school taught me scales, music theory, voice control - all things I draw on now in my music.
What are your future goals? Do you plan to pursue music as a career? I definitely plan to pursue music as my career. I’m going to start college at Belmont University in the fall, which is known for its music school; it’s in Nashville and located right next to Music Row, so I’ll have access to a lot of resources for musicians. I’m going to study audio engineering and production, so if the vocal artist side doesn’t work out for me, I’ll have a production career to fall back on in the industry that I love. I also really want to make my mom and dad proud. They’ve sacrificed so much for my sister and me, and supported me ten-fold. I’m so lucky that they have the mentality that if I’m happy, they support me. Even when I was down and doubted whether I was talented enough to make it in music, they’ve been there to lift me up. And on the business side, my mom has helped me through everything - she works with my manager and has been involved in my meetings with record labels and A&R (the record label executives who scout new talent) and stays in the loop on everything. Where can people download your music? My music is available on all the streaming platforms Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon, YouTube, Pandora, Google Play, and I Heart Radio.
Who are some of your musical influences? I grew up listening to old hip hop, and soul music - Marvin Gaye, Aretha Franklin, Bill Withers. I also listen to Mozart and Beethoven. As far as more modern artists, I like Juice WRLD and Chief Keef. I also really like Randy Newman - he has one of the most soothing voices. What impact has COVID-19 had on your career? Honestly COVID hasn’t had much of an impact, since so much of my music is done online. If anything, it’s helped me make my music better. During the lockdown in the spring, I had nothing else to do but to sit down and learn things about music and refine what I was doing. Since everyone was spending a lot of time at home, there have been a lot of people who have been making great music online and really increasing their online presence.

New Legacy Initiative Book Explores Submarine Chasers By Kathryn Lerch, Upper School Social Studies Teacher and Legacy Initiative Coordinator
Park Tudor’s Legacy Initiative keeps rolling ahead and, in this case, sailing! Our recent book, Major John G. Emery in WWI, prepared us well for tackling another WWI project. A little over two years ago, the Legacy Initiative accepted the challenge from Ray Featherstone, Jr. to publish the story of his father who served in WWI. His rough manuscript was titled: “US SUBMARINE CHASER #38 IN WORLD WAR I: ’MY DAD IN THE MOTOR BOAT NAVY’— GUNNER’S MATE FIRST CLASS RAYMOND K. FEATHERSTONE, SR.” We are grateful that Raymond M. Featherstone (1893-1969) and his descendants saved his priceless photo albums, reports and artifacts which superbly document his wartime experiences on board Submarine Chaser #38. Taking on this project also involved a huge learning curve. One had to familiarize one’s self initially with the history of early 20th century anti-submarine warfare, then with US Navy terminology, as well as the development of radio and listening devices, and mine-laying and removal techniques in the North Sea, et cetera. Secondly, one had to become familiar with the literal coast of England from Land’s End to the Outer Hebrides, as well as specifics about the harbor at Plymouth and other ports used by this chaser. First steps included completing high definition scans of Featherstone’s original photographs, letters, deck assignments and reports. Next, the Chaser 38’s log books were photographed at the National Archives in Washington, DC, and then the contents were transcribed. All of these items were shared digitally as well with our “donor”. Our plan was to retain as much as possible from his original draft, yet enhance what he had started with additional research and better documentation. Unfortunately Featherstone, Jr. passed away suddenly in August 2019; consequently I promised his family and military friends, that his project would be completed as a way to honor both his father’s WW1 service and his own service during the Korean War. Since last spring and through much of this school year, Legacy students have been able to work virtually with digital copies of more than a hundred photographs, log book pages, WWI letters, and continually evolving drafts of the manuscript.

Our first challenge was to identify and cite the sources used in the original manuscript. Sophomore Aaron Gu, one of our dedicated Legacy students, helped in this task last year. Books were purchased and read. To supplement the original photographs, I sought out and purchased additional WWI period postcards featuring English and Scottish coastal towns which had been visited by Featherstone’s sub-chaser. In addition, I followed up contacts made by Featherstone with Todd Woofenden, author and foremost authority on subchasers. He very generously read and made suggestions for our initial draft last spring. We are especially grateful that he has written an “advance praise” quote for our back cover and is excited about the newest development with the project. This fall I made another run through all of our digitized material. Consequently, I reviewed more carefully the original newspaper clippings which Featherstone, Sr. had in his collection. His commanding officer, Nathaniel Rubinkam, had written six installments based on his wartime experiences for a Chicago newspaper. In these articles, Rubinkam spoke highly of his men, much like Major Emery had done in his memoirs. This was an “ah-ha!” moment; students now had an additional task - to be super-sleuths! Who were the boys on the boat? Assistance has also been provided by sophomore Kate Fryburg, junior Sophia Davison, and freshman Jathan Pai. I encourage more of our Legacy Initiative members to volunteer to assist with research and/or to apply their analytical skills for the benefit of our manuscript. Sub-chasers are only 110’ long and very cramped. Typically they are crewed by two officers and 20-22 men. With changing assignments, leaves of absence, etc., it is possible to have a higher total number of individuals who have served at one time or another on this boat. A list of potential individuals has been extracted from photographs, logs, correspondence and duty lists. Students are able to access Park Tudor’s library account for Ancestry.com, plus there are other online resources. By combining these tools with some out-of-the-box thinking strategies, it is possible to locate and match names for almost all of the individuals identified thus far. Our goal has been to locate corroborating evidence based on military records, state and US
FEATURE
Census records, newspapers, and other sources. Consequently, more than thirty individuals have been fleshed out of the past—a real challenge when one is faced with misspelled surnames and only initials for first and second names in many cases.

Students have additionally been tasked with analyzing the demographic and social information that has been gleaned from census records, newspaper obituaries, etc. Thus, an impersonal list of names is being transformed into a crew whose members possess real personalities derived from a wide range of social and economic conditions, and level of education. The Legacy Initiative “crew” looks forward to revealing by early summer the full story of SC 38 and the brave individuals who were a part of her wartime service. C

Park Tudor at 50: The First Decade Following the Merger When the merged Park Tudor School welcomed students at the start of the 1970-1971 school year, it faced a monumental task in integrating the faculty, staff and curriculum of two schools that had built traditions and reputations for more than half a century. Park Tudor also had to deal with an anticipated problem that never quite materialized: integrating previous all-female and all-male student bodies into the city’s largest coeducational private school. But the fears that Tudor Hall girls would be intimidated, or that Park School boys would be left behind academically by coeducational classes were largely unfounded. The smooth integration of the two schools was a result of three factors that had been hallmarks of the predecessor schools: individual attention to students’ needs, a demanding academic curriculum and great teachers. Small class sizes and individual attention also allowed students to participate in a broad range of extracurricular activities. Park Tudor offered the opportunity to play sports; write for the school newspaper, The Apple Press; try out for the plays performed in the Apple Barn (prior to the construction of Ayres Auditorium); sing with the Park Tudor Singers; or participate in the newly formed debate team which had not existed at either Tudor Hall or Park School.

PARK TUDOR PHOENIX SPRING 2021
Park Tudor was also blessed in its infancy with a professional, experienced teaching staff from both Park School and Tudor Hall who made learning exciting and fun. It took several years to sort out teaching assignments, but the process, under the guidance of Academic Dean Alma Whitford, worked out fairly quickly. Graduates from the 70s still recall with fond memories the teaching techniques of Tony Onstott, Tom Black and Frederic “Bill” Robinson in mathematics; C.J. Foxlow in English; Dean Hawver and George Linard in chemistry and the sciences; Lew Berkeley, Bill Higgins and Bill Browning in history; Bertha Gilpin and Odette Karnowsky in foreign languages; and Julie Gaughan in drama. New Leadership Park Tudor opened its third year of operation under new leadership. William A. McCluskey III, the school’s headmaster since the announcement of the merger and headmaster of Park School since 1964, announced his resignation in early 1972. “For some time,” McCluskey wrote parents, alumni and friends in early January, “I have been considering the efficacy of my continuing as headmaster of Park Tudor School. As you may recall, I tendered my resignation two years ago, previous to the merger planning, and at that time was asked to reconsider in order to serve as the coordinator of the merger and ultimately as headmaster of the new school.” McCluskey ultimately agreed to stay on, but he and his family had long yearned to return to
FEATURE
California, where they had lived before coming to Park School eight years earlier. A search was launched for a new headmaster, and in March of 1972 the search committee announced that William George Young had been hired to lead the school. Young came to Park Tudor from Greenhill School in Dallas, where he had been an administrator and member of the school’s history faculty. Young’s years at Park Tudor were a time of enrollment growth, endowment growth and physical growth at the Park Tudor campus. Enrollment had dipped slightly in 1972 to 604 students, but it climbed steadily throughout the rest of the decade. By the 1975-1976 school year, enrollment had reached 656 students. When the 1981 school year ended, Park Tudor’s 10th year, enrollment was 688 students. The enrollment topped 700 students for the first time in the 1982-1983 school year, and stayed close to 700 students each year throughout the remainder of Young’s tenure. Building of the endowment to improve the physical facilities of the campus was critical to attracting students and growing enrollment. The generous gifts of Mr. Eli, Josiah K. Lilly Jr. and Allen Clowes had enabled the Park Tudor campus to become a reality, but at the beginning of Young’s term, the school needed physical improvements. Art classes still were being held in a small wooden frame building inherited from Lilly Orchard, while theatre productions were performed “in the round” in the rustic Apple Barn, the former site of cider and apple sales. As a result, the board of trustees established a long-range planning committee in 1972 to begin an “exhaustive study to examine the school’s long-range development needs.” Those needs were outlined in a September 1974 planning document for Park Tudor’s first development fund drive. The development capital campaign proposed raising a minimum of $2.25 million. “Funds will be used to construct an educational center containing classrooms and auditorium-theatre, to increase the endowment, and to improve athletic facilities,” the planning document noted. The development fund campaign kicked off in the fall of 1974, and major pledges began to arrive in the spring of 1975. Heading the list was a contribution in excess of $1 million from the Ayres family of Indianapolis, owners of the city’s flagship department store at that time. The Ayres bequest would be used to construct the Frederic M. Ayres Jr. Auditorium. The $1.7 million structure would house choral and instrumental music rehearsal rooms, a dance studio, music library, three music practice rooms, two general art studios, a ceramics room, a workshop for drama and art, and several additional Upper School classrooms. The 425seat auditorium was named for the 1929 Park School graduate who had served as a member of the Tudor Hall School board of trustees from 1952 to 1964. A second major endowment gift of $600,000 came from the Krannert Charitable Trust, and with these two lead gifts in hand, the campaign easily reached its goal of raising $2.5 million by June 1975. Groundbreaking for the combination Ayres Auditorium and adjacent multipurpose education building took
place in 1975. Dedication of the new buildings took place in November 1976 with a choral program performed by the Park Tudor Madrigals. William George Young and the Park Tudor faculty and staff continued to build the endowment through the 1970s and into the 1980s. Park Tudor added a kindergarten in 1978. The baby boomlet of the late 1970s and early 1980s ensured that enrollment would continue to grow, particularly in the Lower School. Increasingly, the school’s growing endowment was used to fund financial aid and scholarships. Park Tudor, like most independent schools, had undergone a shift during the 1960s and 1970s and had begun emphasizing a policy of inclusion. The first Black student was admitted to Park School in 1965; ten years later, students of color made up 15 percent of the student body. By the late 1970s, Park Tudor was no longer “the school for rich kids.” Parents from all backgrounds had recognized the value of a Park Tudor education. Even as tuition increased throughout the inflationary era of the late 1970s, enrollment at Park Tudor continued to grow. Park Tudor’s advantage in the competition for the private school tuition dollar was the quality of its faculty, staff and student body. Park Tudor maintained a 10 to 1 teacherstudent ratio in the face of rising faculty wages and benefits because individual attention to student needs was paramount in the school’s educational philosophy. In less than a decade, Park Tudor had established standards for excellence that had been enjoyed by its predecessor schools. Maintaining and improving those standards would be task for the years ahead. * Excerpted from Park Tudor School: The First 100 Years

Alumni Profile: Meet Photographer Julie Main Curry ’90 I have always been intrigued by photography. I loved the idea of capturing that moment in time forever. I loved being able to look at a photograph and be taken like a time machine into the past. I carry that curiosity and passion with me through everything I do.
Julie Main Curry ’90
Since starting my business in 2001, I have had many wonderful and life changing experiences with photography. It’s something I could never have imagined upon graduating from Park Tudor in 1990. What I remember the most during my time at PT was a love of history and art. I loved learning about historical figures and different artists. Two teachers who impacted me with their passion for their subjects were Dr. Eileen Jansen (history) and Mr. Barrow Davidian (art). I dreamed of visiting the places I was reading about in class; I wanted to see and feel the history first hand. In 1997, I finally saved up enough money to travel to Europe for the first time. I was so excited I was finally going to see in person and experience what I had I learned and written about in school. I had purchased a point-and-shoot camera for the trip. I photographed any and all things I could capture. By the end of the trip, I had gone through 23 rolls of film! The experience was everything I had hoped for and more, and it kickstarted my photography passion and my love of travel. In April of 2000 my first nephew was born (William Main ’19), and at that point I had been given a manual 35mm film camera. I had no idea what I was doing, but I used William as my test subject on many occasions. About a year later my second nephew was born (Oliver Main ’20); they were well documented children. Since then my cameras, skills and travel experiences have grown exponentially. I have photographed numerous families, babies, weddings, bat and bar mitzvahs, charity functions, theatre and dance productions, real estate and various celebrities. I also have had more opportunities to travel for my job and for fun. My favorite places have been South Africa, Poland, Costa Rica and Paris to name a few. In 2011, after a long journey of ups and downs, my husband and I adopted our son, Ashton, and I finally found my forever photography muse. I have been so incredibly lucky and appreciative of my opportunities and don’t take any of it for granted.
