News of the School FROM THE HEAD’S DESK by Doug Jennings, Head of School

O

ver the past year you may have read a number of articles in The Park Tudor Phoenix that were accompanied by a logo with the words “Empowering Learners.” Our new Chinese Studies program, our Upper School partnership with Smith College, a new shelter pavilion that is unveiled in this issue…all of these and more have been made possible by our “Empowering Learners” capital campaign.

The words “Empowering Learners” reflect the heart of this effort—to raise funds to support programs and services that will enhance the Park Tudor experience for our students.

On the next page, you will read more specifics about the goals of the capital campaign and the results of our efforts to date. Here, I offer you a few snapshots of how this campaign has already made a difference at Park Tudor.

• Middle School students now have the opportunity to learn Chinese calligraphy in a new after-school class taught

by Mrs. Caroline Lee-Thompson, our Chinese Studies teacher. Eighth grader Joseph Bir reports he has made an important discovery aside from how to paint Chinese characters.

“It teaches you patience, because in the modern world we all want instant gratification. If you write quickly, it all looks a bit ‘off’ – but when you 4 park tudor phoenix FALL 2008

write slowly, it looks better.”

An important lesson for all of us in today’s rushed world.

• The Upper School Student Council inaugurated our new pavilion shelter with a Homecoming Dance. More than 250 students packed the shelter decked out in their “retro” ’80s attire. Flashdance, anyone? The pavilion will be used for more than just fun and games. Our students can spend time studying the natural world in this shelter adjacent to our newest athletic field, also made possible by the campaign.

• You may have read the profiles of four of our former Appleseed Scholars in the fall 2007 Phoenix. Niandi Adisa ’04, the recent recipient of a degree in psychology from the University of San Francisco, said, “After attending a public middle school where I was told I wouldn’t even graduate from high school and then walking into Park Tudor Upper School…I was completely shocked. Park Tudor offered such a different environment, an environment where people cared…. I thrived at Park

Tudor; my grade point average increased…the people teaching me cared. Park Tudor exposed me to a world of opportunity.”

Raising funds to support our Appleseed Scholarships and financial aid is an important component of the Empowering Learners campaign. We believe that talented and hardworking students, no matter the financial status of their family, should have access to the exceptional educators and extraordinary opportunities available at Park Tudor School.

Chinese Studies teacher Caroline Lee-Thompson shows Jeneé Young ’15 the proper way to hold a brush while doing Chinese calligraphy. The Chinese Calligraphy class is offered as a Middle School after-school program.

Empowering Learners: An invitation to shape the future

I

n 2005, Park Tudor began a capital campaign to raise money for specific initiatives that school leaders believed would enhance the curriculum at all levels.

The Empowering Learners Campaign is designed to direct funds primarily to the people and programs that are the heart of a Park Tudor education, rather than to physical facilities. Based on the strategic plan developed by the Board of Directors, the areas of focus include: Great Teaching $6,370,000 has been raised to hire and retain the best teachers possible, to establish a Chinese Studies program, and to add new technologies for students. An innovative faculty exchange program has been established with Smith College. The campaign is still seeking $1.8 million to direct to faculty support, technology and endowment of the Chinese Studies program.

Character Development Gifts totaling $1,800,000 have been received to raise the profile of service learning at the school, to support leadership training, and to encourage educational experiences beyond Park Tudor. The faculty, including a servicelearning coordinator, has integrated service into the school at all grade levels. There also are increased opportunities for student travel and a visitingscholars program already in place, all made possible by campaign contributions.

Diversity To date, $600,000 has been given in support of the Appleseed Scholars program, and $400,000 has been raised for other scholarships at the school. A diversity team has led efforts in the Indianapolis community aimed at student, teacher and staff recruitment.

Contributions to the Empowering Learners Campaign have enabled the school to be well represented at national conferences by both faculty and students.

To sustain the Appleseed Scholars program, as well as to provide financial aid for middle-income families, it is imperative to raise at least an additional $800,000. Depending on the preferences of the donor, contributions can be directed to endowment or used immediately to alleviate financial hardship for families struggling to keep their children enrolled, Co-Curricular Programs As a result of this campaign, artificial turf and a new track have been installed at Memorial Field. A new field for Lower School students has been finished, and an adjacent picnic shelter and instructional area completed. Foster Hall has been refurbished, and a gallery created for display of student artwork.

There is a naming opportunity available for Memorial Field for a pledged gift of $500,000, and donations still are being sought to provide budget relief by endowing major co-curricular programs

such as the Young Strings Program, the Spring Musical, the tennis program, or Lower and Middle School field trips. • The Empowering Learners goal is $17,000,000. • To date, $14,200,000 has been raised. • Park Tudor hopes to raise the remaining $2.8 million

by June 30, 2009.

Please consider making a gift or pledge in order to help Park Tudor sustain its high quality program and continue to prepare young people so well for college and for life.

For more information, please contact Assistant Head of School for Development Susie Maxwell at 317/415-2757 or smaxwell@parktudor.org.

Admissions office is restructured

T

his fall the Park Tudor Admissions Office was restructured to strategically focus the school’s admissions and community outreach efforts by prospective students’ grade levels.

As part of the restructuring, Barb Skinner returned to Park Tudor in October as a member of the admissions staff. She heads admissions efforts for the Upper School, while Joyce Tucker leads Middle School admissions efforts as well as diversity recruitment, and Barb Skelton focuses on admissions for the Hilbert Center and Lower School. Sandy Miller continues in her role as admissions administrative assistant.

Assistant Head of School David Amstutz continues to oversee the strategic planning, marketing and outreach efforts of the Admissions Office.

In addition to her admissions responsibilities, Barb Skinner also will assume the role of varsity girls basketball coach (see page 19). Barb holds a B.S. degree in business administration and a M.S. degree in school counseling from Butler University. From 1998-2000, she was assistant athletic director and assistant

varsity girls basketball and Middle School cross country coach at Park Tudor. Barb previously was the guidance counselor at Mt. Vernon High School in Fortville, IN and has run her own career-consulting practice, Career Planning Resources, LLC. She also has worked as the freshman school guidance counselor at Lawrence North High School, has taught special education at the Academy+ Alternative School in Carmel, and was a contract specialist at Boehringer Mannheim Corporation.

Head of School Doug Jennings says, “Studies show that today’s junior high and high school students are increasingly involved in choosing their school, and the new structure of the admissions office will enable us to better tailor our efforts according to a student’s age. Barb’s extensive experience in counseling high-school students, her knowledge of Park Tudor and our culture, and her stellar basketball accomplishments made her the perfect candidate to take on both the new Upper School admissions position as well as that of girls varsity basketball coach.”

Noted violinist, poet and filmmaker share talents with students

T

his fall, three prominent artists visited our campus to share their immense talents with Upper School students.

Pulitzer-Prize-nominated poet Frank Bidart, Oscar-andEmmy-Award-winning wildlife cinematographer and producer Alan Root, and awardwinning violinist Chloe Trevor spent time with students in the classroom or at an assembly (see photos on page 5).

Bidart, a professor at Wellesley College and a chancellor of the Academy of American Poets, has twice been nominated for the Pulitzer Prize in poetry.

His other honors include the Wallace Stevens Award, the Lila Wallace-Reader’s Digest Foundation Writer’s Award, the Morton Dauwen Zabel Award given by the American Academy of Arts and Letters,

the Shelley Award of the Poetry Society of America and the Bollingen Prize in American Poetry.

Filmmaker Alan Root showed students a clip from his film-in-progress, “Virunga! The Troubled Home of the Mountain Gorilla,” which documents the ongoing destruction of the gorillas’ habitats in

Africa. He spoke to students about efforts to save gorillas and his experiences while filming these animals in the wild. His visit was made possible by the Fehsenfeld family and the Indianapolis Zoo. Violinist Chloe Trevor, 2008 Silver Medalist of the Ima Hogg Young Artist Competition, performed for and spoke

She was a guest soloist with the Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra. The visit to Park Tudor was coordinated by Elaine Eckhart, executive director of the Chamber Orchestra and mother of Bill Eckhart ’08.

Students review books in national program

P

ark Tudor is one of only 15 schools and public libraries in the nation selected to participate in The Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA) YA Galley/ Teens’ Top Ten Project.

YA Galley is an ongoing project in which publishers of young-adult books provide copies of their recent titles to

teen book discussion groups in libraries. In exchange, teen readers evaluate books for the publishers. The selected libraries will receive review and galley copies of new youngadult titles from the more than 30 participating publishers, in exchange for providing the publishers with important feedback.

The Middle School and Upper School Book Clubs were selected for this honor.

Participating students also will choose the nominees for the Teens’ Top Ten, in which teens nationwide voice their choice for their favorite books each year.

Seventh graders explored “real-life” math and science problems during their annual “Broad Ripple Math and Science Day” in September. The students were given various problems to solve at Broad Ripple locations, including the fire station, pictured here.

Making history: The Park Tudor Legacy Initiative

By Kathryn Lerch, Park Tudor Legacy Intiative Director and Military History teacher

“M

ake History with the Legacy Initiative!” is an appropriate slogan to describe the ongoing efforts of Park Tudor’s Upper School Legacy Initiative students.

Not only do students typically work hands-on with historical documents and oral history, but some students also “make history” by studying historical events in the very spots where they happened.

This was the case for six days in mid-June, when Middle School U.S. History teacher Chris Hammock, Ben Daugherty ’10, Hannah Farley ’09 and I took a whirlwind road trip to the National Archives and Civil War battlefields.

Every few years when the Legacy Initiative students are close to finishing a manuscript for the next anthology in their series, it is especially beneficial to visit the National Archives in Washington, D.C. to locate additional photos or supporting wartime documents. Instead of waiting until October, we decided that a week in June would allow us to expand the scope of our typical research trip with a variety of special projects.

First, for those of us who are teachers, it was an opportunity to design and enhance the curriculum for the Upper School Military History and eighthgrade U.S. History classes.

Second, Ben Daugherty and Hannah Farley had some free time to learn research skills at the National Archives without the added pressure of homework. Finally, all four of us could take advantage of summer weather for some out-ofthe-ordinary outdoor activities, including climbing Maryland 12 park tudor phoenix FALL 2008

Heights adjacent to Harpers Ferry and trekking the battlefield at Antietam.

To optimize our efforts and to take advantage of the weather, we alternated work days at Archives I and II with two days in the field. The weather cooperated, and as a result we had a fabulous adventure.

How can anyone not say history is fun?

Ben Daugherty remembers it as “one of the greatest experiences” of his life. During his visit to the Archives, Ben says he “learned the valuable skill of searching for and requesting documents. While not only having a wonderful learning experience, I thoroughly enjoyed the thrill of finding a pristine picture that would be usable in the newest book.”

Similarly, Hannah Farley found this to be an adventure of self-discovery. She writes: Day 1: Archives II The process we had to go through for security purposes was shocking. I never thought they would make us go through so much and be so strict about everything. When I first realized the extent of the process we would have to go through to find the pictures, I thought it may be a little too tedious for me. However, when I started working on it, the time seemed to fly by and I found out that I really liked what we were doing. It turned out to be really fun looking through all those pictures, almost like a story was unfolding. I thought it was most interesting to see the facial expressions of the people. This was a great experience that I probably would have never had the chance to try without going on this trip.

The Italian restaurant we went to that night was incredible!

During our first day at

WWII partisans on island off Dalmatian Coast, National Archives

Archives II in College Park, Maryland, Chris and Hannah checked off items to order from our lengthy punch list.

Ben and I assisted by scouring the card catalog files; we wrote down the order numbers, then converted Old File Numbers to New File Numbers via various finding aids and filled out copious order forms—all the while racing against the next pull time. By 11 a.m. we had ordered all we were allowed for that day. After lunch our carts with boxes of photos arrived and we worked until closing at 5 p.m. As we left, we requested that our carts be held, because depending on the weather the next morning, we might head off to Harpers Ferry. t t t t t t t All of us were up early the next morning—and we quickly agreed Harpers Ferry would be our destination and the Archives could wait a day. We headed off with the car’s sunroof open and Civil War music playing. We followed a sce-

nic, non-beaten track via the historic Chesapeake & Ohio Canal and crossed the Potomac via the ferry at White’s Ford.

We arrived at Harpers Ferry mid-morning and oriented ourselves as we toured the lower part of town as well as the upper areas on Bolivar Heights. From there we could see across to our main destination—Maryland Heights.

Why was Maryland Heights so important? As the name implies, it offers a strategic vantage point. During the Civil War this mountain changed hands between Confederate and Union armies numerous times. During one of those occupations by Union forces, specifically the Eighth New York Heavy Artillery Regiment, soldiers wrote many letters home containing fascinating descriptions of what they saw and experienced. I had climbed halfway up to the rock overlook a couple of years earlier, but without these letters in hand. Prepared this time, we would now stop at specific points and read from the let-

news of the school

ters. How accurate might these wartime accounts be and what could we learn from them?

Undaunted, we set off on our adventure; we climbed one and a half hours up to the first stop, the breathtaking rock overlook, where we paused to rest. Here we took in the spectacular view, snacked, and most importantly oriented ourselves to the views being described in the letters. Then, we proceeded another hour and a half ever upwards to the ruined Stone Fort, which was also described in the letters.

We tried to imagine ourselves in the shoes of these Civil War soldiers and what must have been going through their minds. Ben was in charge of videotaping landmarks and Hannah was our “naturalist.”

Hannah wrote the following about this expedition: Day 2: Harpers Ferry Harpers Ferry was my favorite part of the trip. I love nature and I love getting exercise, so the 5-hour hike was perfect for me. I had a great time looking for wildlife [lots of deer, newts, etc.] and just taking it all in.

I was amazed at how much more beautiful the countryside is in Maryland than it is in Indiana. I also really enjoyed learning all about the historical significance of Maryland Heights. I can’t imagine dragging cannon all the way to the top of that hill. I thought the town was really cute too, and the view of the town from the overlook was amazing.

Our trek up the mountain was more exercise than we had anticipated—not leaving us with enough energy or time to go rafting on the Potomac River afterwards. But having skipped lunch in our eagerness to start the climb, we

were famished by the time we dragged our exhausted bodies down through town at the end of the day. In spite of this, Ben still has positive memories: “The view over Harpers Ferry from the cliff was astounding and the town itself had an intriguing history.”

The extraordinary views from the Heights, combined with the content in the letters, more than rewarded our efforts. Civil War history certainly came alive for all of us.

The next reward was a wonderful dinner in the historic community of Shepherdstown, a few miles away. Hannah recounts, “The Yellow Brick Bank restaurant was really great, and I loved the food as well as the atmosphere. I’ve never been in a restaurant with a big vault like that.” Having accomplished more than we anticipated that day, after dinner we took a faster route back to Washington, D.C. The next morning we kept our car parked at our host’s house and walked to the Metro—albeit moving very slowly. We were on a mission. We marched through the researchers’ entrance to Archives I on Pennsylvania Avenue. Today’s project was to order Civil War pension files for the 27th Indiana Volunteer Regiments. Specifically, our objective was to locate pension requests from parents of deceased soldiers.

This sounds morbid, but we hoped to find original letters written home by their sons.

Typically, mothers (or fathers) sent the deceased soldier’s letters to the Pension Office as evidence that their son(s) had provided them with financial support prior to and during the Civil War. Those letters were retained by the Pension Office and may, with a lot of perseverance, be located in

archives files today. To find them, we had to read numerous microfilm reels, identify files submitted by parents, and then fill out dozens of order forms—all in the hope of finding a few letters. t t t t t t t After placing our orders, we restored our energy at the deli across from the Archives. We also visited the adjacent Navy Memorial and its museum briefly. Then, we headed back to work—this time in the rather impressive Reading Room on the second floor, where we picked up one by one the actual pension files. Security precautions were everywhere— no pens, jackets, purses or other papers were allowed in the room. Now, we hoped the morning’s work would pay off for us. Ben and Hannah discovered that research could be tedious, yet one might also be

lucky! Hannah wrote about the day’s experience: Day 3: Archives I I had never ridden on a subway before, so it was quite an experience for me to ride on the Metro. It was actually kind of fun. At the Archives, it was neat to see microfilm.

My parents have talked about it before, but I didn’t know that it still existed. It was also amazing to see how many rolls of microfilm they actually had.

It seemed like the drawers went on and on. I thought that ordering the files was kind of fun just because we got to roll through the microfilm. When I got the [pension] files, I kept getting disappointed until I finally found that one file out of the seven I searched through. When I found the little pouch that said “Soldier’s letters” I got really excited.

Continued from page 13 And then to realize how legible they were, I felt like I found a jackpot. That one find made my day. I can’t imagine what it feels like to find something far greater.

After making copies of our finds at Archives I, we caught the shuttle back out to Archives II where we resumed our search through boxes of photos. When we finished there, we hustled back on the last shuttle into the District.

By now our brains were pretty well fried, so we headed up from the Archives to one of my favorite restaurants, Jaleo, which specializes in tapas.

There we had great fun sampling all kinds of tasty items, but the best part was dessert.

We each ordered a different (and equally fabulous) dessert.

By now, since we considered ourselves to be virtually “family,” no one hesitated to sample another’s dessert. The waiter was shocked to see we had practically licked all the plates clean. They say that intense thinking (Archives work) burns calories—this must be true. Feeling restored, we returned home via the Metro (still very sore) and got ready for Friday’s adventures back in the field.

Although Ben especially liked sightseeing in D.C., the best part for him was the trip to Antietam: “The history of the battle was fascinating and having the battlefield alongside me as I learned was one of the greatest experiences of my life.”

We resumed our car adventure early Friday morning and got to the National Park Headquarters in time for a lecture by one of the park rangers. This gave all of us 14 park tudor phoenix FALL 2008

an overview of the battle of Antietam—the bloodiest oneday battle in American history.

Following the talk, we toured the entire battlefield stop-bystop (which Ben videotaped) as we followed along with our audio-tour in the car. Hannah made a real connection to this excursion: Day 4 (Friday): Antietam I had fun visiting Antietam, except that it got kind of hot. I was glad to have my sunglasses.

The CD that we bought had a lot of interesting information on it, and it helped me to think about what actually went on at Antietam so many years ago, although I can’t imagine the real horror of the battle. I remember learning something about Antietam in AP US, but the details I now know about the battle and the scenery I can place with it make it more meaningful to me.

Near the end of the day we visited the National Cemetery at Antietam; it was very moving—a quiet refuge from the traffic whizzing past close by.

We were intent on locating the graves of some of the soldiers from the 27th Indiana—especially those for whom we had found letters in the Archives.

We concluded our day’s trek with some sightseeing and dinner in Shepherdstown before driving back to D.C. Saturday brought our departure day. Since it was another beautiful day, we took the opportunity to visit Potomac Falls State Park on our way back to Indianapolis. As promised, this trip was a mixture of both research and some play.

Ben sums it up appropriately: “During this trip, I also had the opportunity to try new and delicious foods with almost every meal. All in all, this trip was a wonderful experience

and I would do it again in a heartbeat.”

I think we would all conclude this was a special adventure—benefitting all of us in so many different ways. We have designed new lessons for our students, and our student participants experienced what it feels like to be a researcherhistorian. We may consider doing this type of trip again— especially since making history with Park Tudor students is such a pleasure. t t t t t t t Editor’s Note: The Park Tudor Legacy Initiative is planning to publish the fourth book in its “Words of War” series this spring.

Fall athletic update: boys soccer, girls volleyall teams capture sectional titles

By Brad Lennon, Athletic Director

T

he Park Tudor boys soccer team won its second soccer sectional championship in the past three years with a 3-0 win over Arsenal Tech in the title game. The win represented Park Tudor’s fifth boys sectional soccer crown in school history. Coach Trent Kuprewicz also led his team to its fourth consecutive Indiana Crossroads Conference (ICC) championship earlier in the fall. Rainy weather at the regional match against Pike on October 15 didn’t stop the team from playing hard, but in the end, the Panthers lost 6-0. The boys ended the season with an impressive 12-5 record. Seniors Cole Sommer and Marc Wagoner led the Panthers in goals and assists respectively with Cole standing at 21 goals – one short of the single-season school record. Both ended their senior season as owners of career records in goals and assists.

Coach Scott McDougall and the girls soccer squad closed out their regular season with a conference championship and a defeat of ICC rival Cardinal Ritter in the season finale. The win was the program’s third consecutive league title. The girls won by a score of 2-1, with goals coming from senior scoring leader Hannah Farley and junior Maddie Kahn. The girls ended the season with a 7-5-2 record. They opened up state tournament play at Pike against reigning Marion County champion Ben Davis, but lost 2-0.

VOLLEYBALL

The girls volleyball season was a huge success. The season got off to a great start with the girls capturing the Park Tudor Invitational title, defeating Warren Central, 18 park tudor phoenix FALL 2008

The netters worked their way as high as No. 3 in the state 2A volleyball rankings on the strength of a mid-season 9-1 record. After a deep run into the Marion County Tournament, Park Tudor fell in the county semifinals to eventual champion Brebeuf. They followed up with a resounding three-game sweep of Brebeuf just three days later. Entering state sectional play, Park Tudor stood with an impressive 18-6 record and a No. 7 state ranking.

The team defeated Beech Grove, Ritter and Scecina to take home the ICC conference trophy, then headed into sectional play. The girls defeated Washington and Ritter before besting Heritage Christian in the hard-fought sectional championship game to win Park Tudor’s first girls volleyball sectional title! At press

time, the team is scheduled to play Class 2A No. 1-ranked Muncie Burris in the regionals.

FOOTBALL

The 2008 football version of the Panthers fielded a young and inexperienced team that battled its way through one of the toughest 1A schedules in the state. First-year Coach Scott Fischer’s team stood winless, having played a schedule that included the No.- 1 ranked teams in 1A and 2A, the Nos.-2-and-3-ranked teams in 1A, and the No.-7 team in in 3A. If that wasn’t enough ,Park Tudor drew a very highly regarded Lafayette Central Catholic team in the state’s most difficult sectional, which included threetime defending state champion Sheridan.

The JV squad ended its season with a 1-4 record against the same teams. Coach Fischer saw continued improvement in his squad and found solace in

knowing that the varsity team, in spite of its record, had a chance to win all but two of its games.

GOLF

The girls golf team returned to varsity competition this fall after a two-year layoff owing to lack of participants. Eight girls answered the call to play and ended the season with a solid 4-4 record, highlighted by wins over two large county schools, Lawrence North and Warren Central. Coach Eli Salatich led the girls to a 13th-place finish out of 16 teams in the county meet. The team consisted of one senior, a junior, and the rest freshmen. The season was capped with freshman Claire Gerwig qualifying and advancing to regional play by scoring an 87 in the sectional. Claire was one of only three girls advancing from a non-qualifying team, and at age 14, the youngest.

She is the first Park Tudor

CROSS COUNTRY

Senior Kyle Marks enjoyed a very successful senior crosscountry season, leading the boys team to its third consecutive conference title. Kyle took top honors in the ICC meet with a time of 16:03, followed

by Henry Farley ’11 with a time of 16:48. Kyle took top honors in four other meets, including invitationals at Lawrence Central and Howe. He also finished 10th in the Marion County meet, earning AllCounty honors. After placing sixth at sectionals, Kyle earned a spot at regionals, where he placed 10th with a personal best time of 15:57–just five seconds away from the PT 5K record. Kyle’s regional placement resulted in a trip to the semi-state competition, where he finished 27th with a time of 16:16.69.

On the girls side, Coach Mike Penington received solid performances from Heidi Chen ’09, Kelli Hanley ’11, Lindsay Thygesen ’10 and Molly Brunner ’10. The girls squad finished third in the ICC meet.

BOYS TENNIS

The boys varsity tennis team survived a treacherous schedule, finishing the season with a 7-7 record that included earlyround defeats in the Marion County Tournament and state sectional play. Coach Dave Heffern’s young squad played one of the most demanding schedules in the state, which included eight of the topranked teams in the state. Park Tudor spent most of the season ranked in the top five; however, you could throw a blanket over the top five or six teams in the state when evaluating their strength of schedule and talent.

The boys captured their fourth consecutive Indiana Crossroads Conference championship, but fell short in state tourney play to archrival Brebeuf.

…a man brings his whole self to the river, so maybe more of life is about fishing than we really know.

— Robert Lee, Guiding Elliott

A

year ago, I proposed to study the theory, practice, and literature of fly-fishing, and that’s exactly what I have been doing. It has been the greatest professional development experience of my life. I have read thousands of pages of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry inspired by fly-fishing; I have studied entomology both in the classroom and in the river, turning over rocks and logs; and I have learned, more or less, how to cast a virtually weightless artificial fly more than 40 feet with some degree of accuracy. Suffice it to say, I have collected many narratives to tell and to recommend.

More than anything else, mine has been a great reading project. I began reading immediately and continued to read before, during, and after every experience in the classroom and on the river. I am still reading. I have discovered a wealth of literature that has been inspired by fly-fishing. I used a poem called “Rod of Iron,” by Kent Gramm, to review the elements 20 park tudor phoenix FALL 2008

of poetry with my Advanced Placement seniors before the AP exam in English literature and composition. I suggested to one of my students who was looking for something to read during spring break that she give Under Cottonwoods, by Stephen Grace, a look, and she came back after the vacation urging me in the strongest terms to make it a required summer reading book. By the time school began again in August, I had a recommended reading list that was a big hit at the first English department meeting. At the top of that list is the short novel I assigned first to my class of accelerated sophomores, A River Runs Through It, by Norman Maclean. They have enjoyed hearing my own fly-fishing stories in the midst of our discussions.

Of course, the most challenging aspect of my project has been the experience of direct instruction in the theory and techniques of fly-fishing. I “plunged” right into this on my first actual fishing trip, a weekend in May on the Ausable River in Michigan, known to fishermen as the “Holy Water” of fly-fishing. (You can’t swing a dead cat in the world of flyfishing without hitting a pun or a religious metaphor.) I hired

It seemed to me that there was a metaphor Continued on page 22 FALL 2008 park tudor phoenix 21

involves unlearning some over-simplified or mistaken notions picked up early on. (You’re told that Columbus thought the earth was round when everyone else thought it was flat and that he was right; later you learn that he thought the world was small when everyone else thought it was large and that they were right.) I had to re-learn casting itself. Forget about picturing the rod at the ten o’clock position or 12 or whatever; move the hand, not the elbow. The master craftsman breaks all the rules. He also redefines the terms: “mending line” means, not flipping it casually with the rod-tip, but picking it up off the water and inevitably dragging the fly closer in the process.

In the evenings my brother and I would slip off to the Platte River and fish until it was too dark to see. Then we would walk through the darkness like beings from another planet in our waders and felt-soled boots the mile or two back to the truck. We caught young rainbows, and I began to develop some skill at reading the water. Another sort of fishing thrill is seeing a place in the river where there ought to be a trout, casting to it, and, sure enough, catching one. A thrill I can imagine but have not experienced yet would be catching the fish on a fly one had tied oneself.

I have a feeling that you will be disappointed if I don’t tell a fishing story. Near the end of the summer, my project culminated in a fishing trip to Spotted Bear Ranch, on the South Fork of the Flathead River in the wilderness of Montana. My wife went along so we could celebrate our 30th anniversary together, but not to fish, only to watch. The scenery was spectacular, but at first the trip seemed doomed. The airline lost our luggage, and my wife and I were forced to wear the cartoonishly oversized clothing of our gracious, but much larger Montana hosts—as if I didn’t have reason enough to be self-conscious as a novice fly fisherman whose line management skills were so shaky that I hooked my wife’s borrowed clothing four times on the first day of fishing, once even managing to wrap the line around her neck. She was not happy without all the paraphernalia that was in her lost suitcase, but she was being a terrific sport about it. I, on the other hand, after a doctoral degree and 35 years of teaching English, was feeling a full dose of the long-dormant frustration and humility of being a beginner.

On the third day of our adventure, we were hiking up and down canyon walls so steep that, when my wife informed the guide that she was slipping, he told her to get down on her hands and knees and crawl. I never thought I would hear those words addressed to my wife in my lifetime. We were so far into the wilderness that we had seen black bears and we could smell grizzlies. We had seen a young bald eagle perched in a tree and an osprey flying with a fish in its talons. When we got down to the river, we were hiking on rocks worn round and

smooth from the action of the water, some the size of billiard balls and some the size of bowling balls. I fell three times on this terrain. Once a ridge of billiard balls rolled out from under my feet and I landed flat on my back, saved from serious injury by the daypack I was wearing. Once I fell in the middle of the river—did a full-on faceplant—when the river washed my feet out from under me during a crossing. Most clownishly of all, I fell when I realized my fly was caught on something behind me and spun around so fast to see if I had hooked my wife in the face that I lost my balance in the precarious footing and toppled over sideways, like a felled tree.

But let me cut to the good part. When we got to a bend in the river that had carved out a really deep hole, the guide pointed down into the river and said, “Do you see them? You can’t catch them if you don’t see them.” I really wanted to see them, but my wife was the first to say, “Yes! There they are!”

I willed my eyes into focus, and there they were, half a dozen huge bull trout hanging apparently motionless about eight feet below the surface. Bull trout are so rare it is illegal to fish for them except in the remote river we were fishing in. The guide, who was clearly a master at this, said, “Paul, I want you to forget everything you’ve learned about fly fishing. Those rules don’t apply now. I want you to put this thing that looks like a cross between a dead rabbit and a Christmas tree on the end of your line. I want you to haul your rod back like you mean it and throw this thing as far as you can upstream. I want you to let it sink to the level of the fish and, as it drifts past their noses, I want you to jerk on your line and make this thing look as if it were alive.”

Well, about the time I thought my whole right arm would probably fly off my shoulder on my next cast, a monster of a fish that we had not even seen took the dead rabbit and tried to pull me right into the river. It was so powerful I could not reel it in; I had to walk backwards up a rock ledge to bring it close to the bank. When we finally wrangled it into the net, the guide said, “Paul, men spend their whole lives aspiring to catch a fish like this one. It weighs 12 pounds if it weighs an ounce. This fish must be 30 years old, at least. You caught the biggest fish in the river!” And then, as soon as we had released the fish back into its life, he gave me a high five.

In this episode, as in my project as a whole, I learned that we don’t need as much as we think we do—the fish don’t care what you’re wearing. I remembered what it feels like to be a beginner, like one of my students who can’t see what I see. I learned that for every accomplishment there is an equal and opposite humiliation. And I learned that the master craftsman operating at the highest levels of any endeavor may have to break all the rules.

Annual Report 2007–2008

Dear Park Tudor Friends, This is a wonderful time of year at Park Tudor School—the students have settled in to the classroom schedules, practices on the athletic fields and auditorium stage are in full swing, and our entire Park Tudor School community has come together to build a fifth Habitat for Humanity home. With all that is new and exciting, I want to pause and say a very warm thank you to all those who helped make the 2007-2008 school year a success. I am continually impressed by the dedicated volunteers, faculty, administration and staff who work tirelessly to ensure this school is the best possible place for our young people to learn and grow. For this, I say “Thank you.”

I encourage you to read through this Annual Report, where you will find the names of more than 1,200 Park Tudor parents, past parents, alumni, grandparents and friends who made contributions to the Annual Fund, Endowment or other special projects and programs. These gifts, when combined, total nearly $3.3 million. We are honored by the support of 150 families who made major gifts of $1,500 or more to the Annual Fund and the seven new members who have named Park Tudor School in their will, giving us a total of 125 members to the Endowment Society.

An equally vital role that many of you hold at Park Tudor School is that of volunteer. Volunteer support enables our faculty and staff to spend more time with students and various projects, but it does not stop there. I am proud to say we have volunteers working tirelessly in all areas of school activity, from the LockerShop to the mailing committee—you truly make our school a more flawless operation.

A very special thank you goes to the members of the Park Tudor Parents’ Association, led by Deb Borchelt. They were charged with the task of combining the two parents’ associations and did a wonderful job. For a second straight year, Tom Rogers led the fundraising efforts of the Applefest Golf Outing and Liz Hodge, Lucy Aquilano, Julie Eskenazi and Erica Mobasser were charged with the Applefest Varietals Events. These projects further the school and provide funds for items outside of the school’s operating budget.

Sincerely,

Douglas S. Jennings Head of School

Alumni News Greetings from your Alumni Board president

I

t is an honor and pleasure to be leading the Alumni Association Board of Directors. With the assistance of the Alumni Relations and Development staff, we have a number of alumni events planned for this year. The board’s enthusiasm and dedication ensures that these activities will be entertaining and enjoyable. There is something for everyone, and we promise that you won’t be disappointed.

Mark your calendars now!

Former football players and students of Coach Tom Page gathered to honor him during a pre-Homecoming dinner on October 3. Coach Page continues to teach math at Park Tudor, but after 21 years as varsity football coach stepped down at the end of last year’s season. The next morning, alumni and friends of retired cross country and track coach Jack Brake gathered for the third annual Jack Brake 5K Walk/Run. The cross-country course, which Coach Brake himself developed, was dedicated in his honor prior to the run. In addition, thanks to the generosity of many alumni, an annual scholarship in Coach Brake’s name was created.

Attention alumni from the Classes of 2004-2008! Look for an invitation to attend a varsity basketball game while enjoying Bazbeaux Pizza in 34 park tudor phoenix FALL 2008

Charitable IRA legislation of 2008 offers tax-free donation options

T

he President signed into law charitable IRA legislation on October 3, 2008 that will be in effect for 2008 and 2009. This charitable option, which pertains to donors who are 70 ½ or older, allows them to move up to $100,000 per year from a traditional and/ or Roth IRA directly to Park Tudor School without having

to pay income taxes on the money.

Example: James, age 72, lives comfortably on his pension, savings and Social Security. He is required to take minimum withdrawals from his IRA and is taxed on those funds. This distribution also causes more of his Social Security income to

be taxed. However, by directing part of his mandatory IRA withdrawal to Park Tudor, he avoids reporting that amount as income and does not pay taxes on those funds. He also bypasses additional tax on his Social Security benefits.

To enjoy the full benefit of this legislation, you must complete this year’s transfer

prior to December 31. Don’t miss this opportunity to make a gift to Park Tudor School while lowering your taxes.

Please contact Alumni Coordinator/Planned Giving Officer Gretchen Hueni at 317/4152766 or ghueni@parktudor.org for additional information.

Living the legacy: PT’s multigenerational families

By Tina Rice

F

or many Indianapolis families, attending Tudor Hall, Park School and Park Tudor is simply a way of life, the right thing to do, a tradition carried through generations. Members of three legacy families share their thoughts on this “passing of the torch.”

The Elder family William Elder ’40 and Joan Boozer Elder ’44 were the first generation of their families to attend Park School and Tudor Hall. Joan delights in the memories of playing sports at the 32nd and Meridian Streets site of Tudor Hall.

“I really enjoyed playing baseball in back of the lunchroom over the tennis courts,” she says. “I remember when we played basketball we had to shoot low, because if we shot too high the balls would hit the rafters…. I also remember all the fun we had playing field hockey at Riverside Park.”

Her husband William jokes, “Well, I went to Tudor Hall until they kicked me out, then I went to Park School.” He attended Tudor Hall, which was co-ed through third grade, then began attending Park School in the fourth grade.

“My favorite memory about Park School was when we became city champions in football,” says William. “We played Culver Academy every year, and they were tougher than hell! Well, my junior year Culver beat Shortridge, who were the city champs, and the next week we played Culver and to everyone’s surprise we beat them. So, although we didn’t beat the team who were the city champs, we did beat the team who beat the city champs,” he notes.

William and Joan’s children and grandchildren are carrying on the family’s Park Tudor tradition. They are: Jane Elder

Kunz ’73, Peter Kunz ’73, Mary Elder Schaff ’77, Lindsay Elder Thornton ’95, Weezie Elder Combs ’97, Laura Elder ’99, Bowman Elder ’02, Knubbe Kunz ’09 and Tarey Kunz ’11.

The Fletcher/Brown family The Fletcher/Brown family is proud of its rich history of attending Tudor Hall, Park School and Park Tudor.

Elizabeth Wallerich Fletcher was the first member of the two families to have ties, graduating from Tudor Hall in 1929. Elizabeth’s son Stephen Fletcher graduated from Park School in 1965; his children Kathryn and William graduated from Park Tudor in 1991 and 1996 respectively.

Stephen married Tudor Hall alumna Judy Brown ’67. Dr. DeWitt Brown Jr. ’34, Judy’s father, also attended Park School. Steve and Judy dated briefly during high school, broke up and reunited while she was in college and he was in graduate school. They married in 1970.

Judy has great memories of Tudor Hall. “Tudor Hall was so incredible,” she said. “The education there was phenomenal. The teachers at Tudor Hall were so great and had such incredible teaching experience.”

The Dunn family Nancy Hare Dunn ’45 speaks of her experience at Tudor Hall as well as those of her sons Ted ’72, Doug ’74 and Wesley ’76 and her grandchildren Kelly ’03, Teddy ’05, Wesley ’09 and Tanner ’10 at Park Tudor.

“I just loved Tudor Hall,” she said. “It was just a building and a swimming pool on 32nd and Meridian, but I just loved it. I’ve actually been privileged enough to see Tudor Hall and Park School merge and Park Tudor School grow.

Park Tudor has even grown and changed since the time my children attended. I visit

Park Tudor occasionally and the campus is just beautiful, my grandkids love it and I marvel in how different it is from that single building and a swimming pool,” she said.

Nancy recalls some of her fondest memories in her junior and senior years at Tudor Hall, when she actually lived in the residence hall instead of commuting from Noblesville, as she and her brother did the two previous years.

“I loved staying in the residence hall,” she said. “All of my classmates and I got along well, we enjoyed one another tremendously and never had any conflicts.”

Like Joan Elder, Nancy also enjoyed playing sports. “I’ll never forget playing basketball in Tudor Hall on that little court and low rafters…and when the boys won the city football championship! That was a big deal!”

Nancy married Ed Dunn, who attended Park School for four years before heading off to St. George’s Preparatory School in Providence, RI. Nancy and Ed’s son Ted married Julia Townsend ’72. Their marriage brought an entire new branch of multi-generational Dunns and Townsends to Park Tudor. Julia’s sister Vicki Townsend is a 1968 Tudor Hall graduate and her two children, Sara and Rachel Katterjohn, graduated from Park Tudor in 1999 and 2002 respectively.

Sister Starr Townsend ’66 saw three children graduate from Park Tudor: Elizabeth Laughlin Raymond ’95, John Laughlin ’98 and Julia Laughlin ’99.

Brother Earl ’75 has three children currently attending Park Tudor: Monica ’09, Mia’10 and Earl ’13.

These three families are just a few of many who have passed the torch of a Park Tudor education, keeping the flames of Tudor Hall, Park School and Park Tudor alive.

Donor Profiles…. in their own words “The fact we transported our four children to Park Tudor, 30 miles each way from Greenwood, speaks for how I feel about Park Tudor and the education it provides.”

– John Stiles ’56 Endowment Society Member Father of Vanessa ’88, John ’84, Torry ’79, Stephen ’78 “It seemed a natural for Kevin and me to remember Park Tudor in our will. Park Tudor had such a positive impact on my life, from lifelong friendships to college and post-graduate success, to mentoring and leadership from fantastic teachers who continue to challenge and lead my children. I was so fortunate to have had the Park Tudor experience, and we are thrilled that we can provide that to our children as well. We continue to be impressed every day at the things it has to offer our family. Park Tudor is certainly one of the institutions closest to our heart.

We want to ensure that the t r a d i - The Betz family tion of excellence continues for future generations, and hope our membership in the Endowment Society can in some small way give back to the school that has done so much for us.”

– Holly Hapak Betz ’87 Endowment Society Member Mother of Gretchen ’21, Haydon ’17 and Ryan ’14

Class Notes Thanks to Tudor Hall Class of ’58 Thanks to the leadership of Anne Pelizzoni Lanier and Kate Mahaffey Esterline, the Tudor Hall Class of 1958 celebrated its 50th reunion in a very meaningful way. In addition to the events that Kate and her classmates planned over the weekend, 74 percent of the women made a Reunion Class Gift in support of their 50th anniversary of graduation from Tudor Hall. Anne and Kate led by example through their gifts in honor of I. Hilda Stewart and encouraged their classmates to do the same.

Park Tudor School is grateful to the women of the Tudor Hall Class of 1958 for contributing more than $42,000 to the school, but most importantly for reaching 74-percent participation. The objective of the Reunion Class Gift is to create unity among classmates by participating in a group activity that provides financial support for Park Tudor School. The Reunion Class Gift is a great way for alumni to give back to their alma mater during their anniversary year. No gift is too small or too large. Every gift is important – especially yours!

1946 • Class correspondent Virginia Obrecht Dulworth writes, “In August, my granddaughter Brooke Jacobs and I spent two fun-filled days in Zionsville, Indiana attending the Traders Point Charity Horse Show and Country Fair. For 31 years, our glamorous classmate/ horsewoman Liz Wiest Johnson has given her time, her talents and her heart to this fine event staged on her beautiful Wild Air Farm. Liz is much admired and appreciated by her community, her friends, the sport she serves and the charities her horse show supports. It was so much fun meeting her family and attending the Garden Party on Thursday. It was wonderful having another classmate, ‘Aunt Jeanne’ Robinson McFall, sitting across the table from me. To make the two-day event complete, I was able to introduce Brooke to Flo 38 park tudor phoenix FALL 2008

“Several classmates have written or e-mailed me thanking me for keeping up with the class and informing them of the recent deaths of Mary Harrell and Nancy Iles Mack.

“One of them was Georgia White Nyhart, who informed me that her four children have blessed her with 10 grandchildren, (ages ranging from 6-27), all either well-educated or in the process of being so. Sounds like Georgia enjoys living in Camden, SC with her beloved and faithful golden retriever Tag-a-long. Georgia’s e-mail is gwhnyhart113@bellsouth.net.

“Received an e-mail in April from Harriet “Hodgie” Smith Rybolt, who has moved back to Indianapolis. Her address is: Hoosier Village DC #401, 5300 W 96th Street, Indianapolis, IN 46268.

In Memoriam: The Park Tudor community mourns the loss of Richard C. Vonnegut Sr. ’32, a lifelong friend and avid supporter of the school. Mr. Vonnegut was honored with the Park Tudor Loyalty Award during his 75th reunion on May 5, 2007, for his “continued loyalty and support of Park Tudor School.”

“Sally Stokely Brown can be found from May-October at P.O. Box 43, Manchester, VT 05254 and from October-May 21 at 21 Meadowlark Lane, Hilton Head Island, SC 29926.
