PARK TUDOR PHOENIX SPRING 2018

FROM THE HEAD’S DESK

From the Head’s Desk At the end of May, I had the great pleasure of addressing our newest graduates and their families at our Commencement ceremony. As I told them, while this year was certainly extraordinary, their class in particular was truly exceptional. Their resiliency and leadership was so helpful in successfully navigating the year; we were all thrilled to be able to come together and celebrate the class of 2021. I encourage you to visit parktudor.org/class-of-2021 to learn more about their accomplishments and to glimpse our end-of-year celebrations. During my address to the graduates, I referred to a Charles Dickens quote that has been used constantly throughout the pandemic: “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity,.....” While this quote may be fitting for our pandemic year, I encouraged our graduates not to spend too much time reflecting on the past, but to instead look forward to all of the exciting things that will happen in their lives over the coming years. I feel the same excitement for Park Tudor as I look to the future. We are currently planning for the 2021-2022 school year, and while some details remain to be seen, it will most certainly feel much more “normal” than last year. For example, I anticipate a full return to all of our extracurricular activities, after school events, sports and performances. Our focus at Park Tudor remains on offering a first rate academic experience to all our students in line with our longstanding values of integrity, intellectual engagement, resourcefulness, respect and responsibility. When we speak of the hallmarks of a Park Tudor education, in addition to academic rigor and critical thinking skills, we celebrate the fact that we have a corps of teachers who truly know their students and provide instruction that fits their students’ needs. Meeting students where they are and ensuring they have the opportunity to become their most successful selves is at the heart of PT’s commitment to equity.

PARK TUDOR PHOENIX SUMMER 2021

An equitable and inclusive community benefits all PT students. In that vein, we are immensely grateful to the Paul family for their generous endowment gift to launch the Paul Family Fund for Trailing Aid supporting student access to extracurricular activities, field trips, and international travel. Through their generosity, the Paul family is helping make sure the full PT experience is accessible to all our students. Ultimately, our goal every year is to help an exceptional cadre of well-educated and well-rounded students gain admission to the college or university that best fits them. I am very much looking forward to the opening of the new Irsay Family Sports Center for Health and Wellness. Construction is continuing on schedule, with completion expected in November. Not only will we have a new building; we are also developing an enhanced wellness curriculum and we look forward to the appointment of the new Director of Health and Wellness. This increased focus on wellness will greatly benefit all of our students. Finally, I am also looking forward to welcoming our alumni back to campus. As you will see in the Alumni News section of this magazine, we are hosting two Alumni Weekends: November 12-13, 2021 and April 29-30, 2022. Please mark your calendars and plan to attend; I am eager to see you in person and to share with you the many improvements we have made to our beautiful campus.

Habitat for Humanity Build to Begin July 29 Park Tudor is an institution grounded in a history of service and tradition. One of those traditions is our relationship with Habitat for Humanity (HFH). Since the late 1990s, Park Tudor students have successfully completed several builds with HFH, and we are excited to announce that the newest build begins on July 29. Along with Park Tudor volunteers, the Garrett family is eager to build a permanent home. Mom Alicia shares, “My ultimate goal is to become a successful homeowner and leave a legacy to my children where memories can be shared amongst the three of them. A place they can always call home.” Habitat for Humanity describes their projects as “investments,” and the organization is rooted in the ideal that “stronger homes create stronger communities.” Families served by HFH are often fleeing volatile living conditions, where the environment tends to be unsafe, and the rent exceeds 35% of their net income. To be considered for a Habitat build, interested families must meet specific criteria. Each partner family is required to contribute at least 300 hours of sweat equity toward the home. Sweat-equity hours include homeownership education, financial education, and volunteer hours building their house and working on other Habitat homes. These factors help ensure that the selected family is seeking stability and would benefit from a HFH Home. In order to provide the Garrett family with a secure home, the Park Tudor community can help in two ways: serve as volunteer builders and raise significant funds. While much of a Habitat build relies on in-kind contributions from members of the construction industry, costs remain and Park Tudor has committed to raising $80,0000 toward those costs. Visit parktudor.org/habitat to learn about ways you can volunteer or financially partner with HFH and the Garrets. Please contact Amy Kerr, Director of Community Engaged Learning (akerr@parktudor.org), with any questions.

BASEBALL The Park Tudor baseball team had a successful 2021 campaign, posting an overall season record of 18-9. The Panthers were crowned PAAC Conference champions with a perfect conference record of 8-0. The team showed tremendous improvement throughout the season, and featured a talented mix of both upper and underclassmen. The team was led by a strong pitching staff, and they earned a few marquee performances including a 10-run comeback versus the Crusaders from Scecina Memorial High School, to eventually earn a 13-12 win. They went on to defeat the top-ranked Trailblazers from University High School 2-1 in an 8-inning bout. The team continued their success into May with wins over the Panthers from Knightstown, the Eagles from Heritage Christian, and the Athenians from Crawfordsville High School. The team also advanced in the Marion County Tournament, but were eventually defeated by the Braves from Brebeuf Jesuit. To finish the season, the Panthers won their opening round Sectional game vs. the Bulldogs from Monrovia 5-2, but then fell to the #1-ranked Cadets from Cascade High School in the Sectional semi-final. The team had a strong year following the pandemic and are poised for a very bright future. However, they will certainly miss their five seniors that consistently set the standard for the squad throughout the season with dedication, commitment, leadership, and resiliency - Reece Kizer, Alex Drics, Justin (Juse) Boyd, CJ Richmond, and Johnny Gallagher.

PARK TUDOR PHOENIX SUMMER 2021

Park Tudor at 50: 1980-2000 In 1985, Park Tudor was at a crossroads. After reaching a high of 706 students during the 1982-1983 school year, enrollment had fluctuated at just below 700 students for the next three years. A long-range special planning ad hoc committee in 1984 had recommended that the school needed to do two things to increase enrollment into the 1990s. Park Tudor wanted to institute another capital campaign the school’s first since the mid-1970s - to address physical improvements on the campus. In addition, the school needed to consider revamping the Upper School and Lower School format to bring Park Tudor more in line with current educational philosophies. In retrospect, 1985 and 1986 were critical years in the development of Park Tudor. After 14 years as the school’s headmaster, William George Young resigned at the end of the 1985-1986 school year. The enrollment decline continued into the 1986-1987 school year, with the student population dropping to 660, the lowest in Park Tudor’s history. Tom Black, the interim headmaster following Young’s resignation, believed one of the primary reasons for the decline was Park Tudor’s lack of a true Middle School. Park Tudor’s longtime structure had been to group kindergarten through sixth graders into a traditional Lower School. A Middle School, which shared classrooms and teachers with both the Lower School and Upper School, consisted of seventh and eighth graders. The Upper School comprised ninth through 12th graders. By 1986, the Indianapolis Public School District and most of the township and suburban schools had moved to a middle school concept that grouped sixth, seventh and eighth grade students in a physically separate middle school. As a result, Park Tudor was losing students in the seventh and eighth grades, mostly to middle schools feeding Carmel, North Central and Brebeuf High Schools.

PARK TUDOR PHOENIX SUMMER 2021

Interim headmaster Black called the formation of a three-grade Middle School “a number one priority with almost all of us.” It was obvious to Park Tudor directors, faculty and staff that a capital campaign was necessary to raise the money for a new Middle School building and the salaries to pay Middle School faculty. The new headmaster would be charged with marketing a Middle School to prospective parents. In December 1986, the Park Tudor search committee announced that it had hired a new headmaster to replace George Young. The unanimous choice was a veteran Michigan educator and school administrator who came to Park Tudor after serving for 10 years as director of the prestigious Interlochen Arts Academy. Bruce W. Galbraith also was the incoming chairman of the Independent Schools Association of the Central States (ISACS), the accrediting association for Park Tudor and other Midwestern private schools. Galbraith was enthusiastic about his new assignment, and immediately began to place his unique stamp on the school. His charge from the Park Tudor Board of Directors was clear: they wanted a dynamic headmaster who would increase enrollment at the school. During Galbraith’s tenure at Park Tudor, the student enrollment increases never ended. Park Tudor reported 15 straight years of enrollment growth from 1987-2002. Reflecting on his years at the helm of Park Tudor, Galbraith viewed his role in the 1987-1992 period as a change agent. “I don’t know if I saw it at the time,” he said, “but I think my job was to be a cheerleader, to stir things up and to make some changes - and not to be satisfied with ’okay is good enough.’” Galbraith’s tenure as headmaster was also marked by a development boom. A capital campaign kicked off in the 19871988 school year with an ambitious goal of raising more than $7 million. An ad hoc committee had identified a Middle School facility, a science center and an expanded gymnasium as the school’s most pressing needs. The capital campaign got off to an excellent start when the Lilly Endowment gave $1 million to the campaign and Ruth Lilly, the daughter of Josiah K. Lilly Jr. and a 1933 Tudor Hall graduate, pledged $1 million for a new science center. Ruth Lilly’s

generosity resulted in construction of the 18,000-square-foot facility which opened in the fall of 1989 and was named the Ruth Lilly Science Center. Prior to the 1989 dedication of the science center, science rooms often were shared by Upper School and Middle School classes, necessitating the clearing of Upper School lab experiments before the classroom could be used by Middle School students. Between 1988 and 1998 Park Tudor added not only the Ruth Lilly Science Center, but a new Middle School building and the Hilbert Early Education Center. In addition, the school completed a major gymnasium renovation and addition in 1991-1992. A second capital campaign was announced during the 19971998 school year. Originally slated to raise $16 million, by 1999 the “Gift for Teaching” campaign had raised $19 million. This campaign funded the expansion and renovation of the Upper School and Fine Arts Building, including the addition of new classrooms, computer labs, science and foreign language labs, art and music rooms, and small group study and tutor rooms. The two-story, 33,000-square-foot addition connecting Park Tudor’s Upper School and Fine Arts Building was dedicated at the beginning of the 2000-2001 school year following more than a year of construction. The capital campaigns of the late 1980s and 1990s set Park Tudor on a path for rapid growth and improvement. As predicted by the Long-Range Planning Group in the mid-1980s, the 1988 opening of the Middle School solved the problem of declining enrollment. By 1990, enrollment was 764, 100 students more than it had been three years earlier. In the 1994-1995 school year, enrollment reached 833 students and topped 910 students in the 1997-1998 school year. With enrollment on an upward surge and the “Gift for Teaching” campaign in full swing, Park Tudor parlayed its traditional quest for excellence into an environment that built one success after another. The school’s academic, athletic and social achievements during the 1990s made it the envy of independent private schools in Indiana and the Midwest.

Alumni Feature: Dr. Melanie Matchett Wood ’99 Blazes a Trail for Women in Mathematics By Cathy Yingling Chapelle ’87

Dr. Melanie Matchett Wood ’99 recently made history by becoming the first female mathematician to be honored with the prestigious Alan T. Waterman Award, given annually by the National Science Foundation to two recipients under age 40. The award includes $1 million in grant money, given over five years. Dr. Wood is currently a Professor of Mathematics at Harvard University. While at Park Tudor, she became the first woman to qualify for the U.S. International Mathematics Olympiad team and earned silver medals in the 1998 and 1999 Olympiads. She went on to earn her Ph.D. from Princeton University in 2009. I recently spoke with Dr. Wood about the award, her trailblazing work in mathematics, and her experiences as a woman working in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) and higher education.

What has been the focus of your research? I study number theory, for example patterns in prime numbers – how often do they appear among whole numbers? How far apart are they? I also try to understand fundamental properties of whole numbers and how they factor. These are very old questions about the most basic numbers that we study in school, but we still don’t know all there is to know in this area. And while this area of research has been around for millennia, it remains incredibly relevant today in our digital lives, as virtually all of the encryption systems that have been developed to protect our data are built on prime numbers and factorization. When did you first discover your love of math? I’d always liked math, but my interest really expanded when I was in Middle School. I competed in the MathCounts competition, which was the first time that I’d encountered problems that I had to think through and solve. In that competition, students are presented with problems that they have not seen before, so each is a new puzzle to tackle. That is when my interest really took off. MathCounts also brought me to Park Tudor. One of my fellow competitors was also in eighth grade and was planning to attend Park Tudor for high school. At that point, I wasn’t familiar at all with the school or what it had to offer. My friend explained the math program to me and how supportive the school was of his math study, so I started looking into it and decided to apply even though it was spring and pretty late in the game for the fall. I was accepted and started at Park Tudor in ninth grade. How did your time at Park Tudor help prepare you for what you are doing now? Especially now that I am a college professor and working with students, I am struck by how well prepared I was for college. All of the classes at Park Tudor were so academically rigorous; by the time I got to college the level of work felt familiar. I find that some of my students find it to be a big jump from high school to what college courses require; I did not experience that because the academic rigor of Park Tudor was similar to college. In addition, Park Tudor taught me to be a critical thinker, rather than just learn the material in a textbook. In math in particular, the school was very supportive and helped me chart a course to learn what I needed to learn in that area. I started out with one plan, but that changed over the years as my knowledge expanded. Park Tudor helped me get through a full college-level math curriculum while I was still in high school, so by the time I got to college, I only took graduate-level courses. Park Tudor didn’t offer all of those courses, but they found resources for me to be able to take high-level college math classes in high school. Mrs. Joanne Black, in particular, was very helpful. She was my calculus instructor, and also spearheaded figuring out how I could reach my full potential in my math study.

Winning the Alan T. Waterman Award is such an achievement. How did you feel when you heard the news? I was shocked. It is a big deal for a mathematician to receive the award – that doesn’t happen every year. I think especially because math feels more abstract, it can be challenging to capture the impact of math research. Only two people in the country receive the award, so no one is a “shoo in.” I didn’t even realize I had been nominated this year; I knew that I had been nominated in the past, but didn’t receive the award. Just nominating someone is a lot of work, so that alone is an honor. What are your plans for utilizing the $1 million in grant money that you will receive? I’ll be using it to hire people and to hold workshops. The grant money will allow me to bring together people from different fields of math, which will hopefully lead to new insights and discoveries. It is noteworthy that you are the first woman in mathematics to win the Alan T. Waterman Award. Have you faced specific challenges as a woman working in STEM? There have definitely been challenges. I’ve faced explicit discrimination, particularly from older people working in the field who still believe the stereotype that women aren’t good at math. I’ve also faced more subtle challenges, like being the only woman in a room or at a talk. People tend to gravitate towards others that are like them, so it can be difficult when no one comes up to talk to you in that type of situation. I’ve also had people assume that my husband is the speaker at an event – when it is actually me – and I’m there as the spouse. Working in academia presents its own challenges; the timeline of how your career progresses and achieving tenure isn’t always conducive to raising children. Fortunately, things are getting better. I think the vast majority of people working in this field want positive change; I now see others speaking up when someone says something sexist – it isn’t only me speaking up. What advice do you have for young women who are interested in pursuing a career in STEM? It is important to build a good network of peers – both your own age and a little bit older – that you feel comfortable with and can help you navigate bumps in the road. I would seek out peers who are studying in the same area as you so that you can go to them for advice and help. A strong network is really essential to help you overcome the obstacles that we all will inevitably face.

As she researched Julia Bennett’s story, Lisa discovered that Julia’s mother and grandmother had fled from Missouri to the Montana Territory during the Civil War and were among the first settlers there in the 1860s. “Now I had a story of three strong women,” said Lisa. “Julia was divorced with two children and needed money to support her family, so she started the dude ranch. Julia’s grandmother was widowed in her 20s, and then decided to leave Missouri with her young daughter and seek a new life in Montana. I was really struck by the fact that these two women were gutsy enough to do these things on their own, which was rare in those days, and these stories aren’t often told.” Lisa spent many summers traveling to Montana to research the story of Julia and her mother and grandmother. She says that skills that she developed at Park Tudor were key to completing this book. “Learning how to conduct research in my history classes and honing my writing skills in English class formed the basis for what I do now as a historical writer.” While working as the Director of Communications at Park Tudor, Lisa was project manager and editor of Park Tudor School: The First 100 Years, her first book project. She has continued to develop her craft, and is now enrolled in Butler University’s Creative Writing MFA program.

Lisa Hendrickson ’77 Publishes Book About Pioneering Women Lisa Hendrickson ’77’s new book, Burning the Breeze: Three Generations of Women in the American West, will be published this September by Bison Books, a division of the University of Nebraska Press. While Lisa has written several books through the years on behalf of clients, this is the first book that she has completed based on her own interest.

Lisa plans to continue writing histories of strong women as she continues her writing career. “I’m thinking about focusing on women during World War II for my next project,” she said. She advises young writers to be persistent and be willing to reach out to resources. “It has been amazing how helpful people have been as I worked to track down information for this book.” Burning the Breeze: Three Generations of Women in the American West is now available for preorder on the University of Nebraska Press website: www.nebraskapress.unl.edu. (Direct URL: https://www.nebraskapress.unl.edu/bisonbooks/9781496227928/)

A project 10 years in the making, Burning the Breeze tells the story of three generations of women migrating to and living in Montana in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Lisa first became familiar with one of the central characters, Julia Bennett, years ago when her brother was living in Montana; a friend of his – Julia’s granddaughter – was looking for someone to tell the story of her grandmother. Julia was the first woman to own and operate a dude ranch in Montana, back in the 1930s, which interested Lisa. “I wondered, though, if there was enough there for a book,” Lisa explained. “When I met with my brother’s friend and found out that she had her grandmother’s diaries, photo albums and scrapbooks, and then learned that the dude ranch is still there and looks very much as it did when Julia ran it, I knew I wanted to tell this story.”
