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

I
t may be quiet in Lake Woebegon, but it sure has been busy at Park Tudor School this fall. All faculty have participated in preparations for our Independent Schools Association of the Central States re-accreditation visit, which took place in mid-October. The school hosted a number of strong candidates to assume the Head of School position upon my retirement at the end of this school year, culminating in the appointment of Dr. Matthew Miller, also in mid-October. And in addition to our normal academic and co-curricular activities, Park Tudor is celebrating its 40th anniversary of the merger that brought together two fine schools and inaugurated the campus we now call home. We want to ensure that our current students gain an appreciation for the history of their school, and so we have 4 park tudor phoenix FALL 2010
taken opportunities this fall to share photos, anecdotes and memorabilia that take us back to 1970. Today’s students are interested to see pictures of the campus when it was covered with 1,500 apple trees. They are delighted to spot pictures of a teacher or parent taken decades ago. They are amused by the fashions of the day. And they often are surprised to realize that girls and boys did not share the same classrooms until 1970. Coeducation is such a natural learning environment for them that it is difficult to imagine things being otherwise. Park Tudor was not alone in its move to coeducation four decades ago. It is remarkable to consider the number of independent and parochial schools, as well as colleges and universities, that became coed during that time period. In fact, prior to 1970 there were hundreds of single-sex colleges in the country, and now there are only two all-male and about 80 all-female schools. Coeducation did not come easily to many institutions. Boards debated for years. Alums protested and threatened to withdraw their support. Mergers often were uneven and seemed more like hostile takeovers. Schools that gradually admitted students of the opposite sex (e.g., starting with 10% of the student body being women) dealt with imbalances of all sorts for many years. My
own school, Montclair Academy, entered into an agreement of “coordinate education” with its female counterpart, Kimberley Academy. This involved a rather silly experiment involving having three classes of girls come to our campus each day for geometry (with boys), while three groups of boys were bused to Kimberley for French. This went on for three years before administrators admitted that full coeducation actually might be academically beneficial. I still wonder what we were afraid of. As I talk to veteran Park Tudor teachers and alums, I am impressed to learn that things went quite smoothly here. Coeducation seemed to be a natural progression in the growth of Tudor Hall and Park School. It was clearly a merger of equals. Both schools origi-
nated shortly after the turn of the century, and both were quite strong academically from the start, sending their graduates to the finest colleges and universities. Strong leaders and legendary teachers populated both faculties. The students were brothers and sisters, whether actually related by birth or merely socially comfortable with one another. And one cannot underestimate the fact that the Lilly family gift of land for a new campus, with the implied suggestion of a merger, created a blank canvas for an entirely new picture of a school. Today’s school holds dearly to the values and traditions of its predecessors while at the same time embracing innovation and plans for a bright future. It’s great to be 40!
From uniform kilts to slacks, plaid was the fashion of the day in the 1970s.

Dr. Matthew Miller to take reins as new head of school in July
O
n October 20, the Park Tudor Board of Directors announced the selection of Dr. Matthew D. Miller as the new head of school, effective July 1, 2011 following the retirement of Head of School Doug Jennings. Dr. Miller currently is the assistant head of school for academic affairs at Isidore Newman School, a PreK-12 college preparatory school in New Orleans. Previously, he worked for 12 years at The Lawrenceville School in New Jersey, a grades 9-12 school where he served as a teacher, coach, housemaster, class dean, Admissions Committee member and Interdisciplinary Studies department chair. Dr. Miller earned a bachelor’s degree in Greek, Latin and Hebrew from Dickinson College, summa cum laude, where he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa and recognized as the top-ranked student. Dr. Miller attended Oxford University and earned both bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Greek and Latin literature, history and philosophy. He
received a master of arts degree in ancient history and Mediterranean archaeology from the University of California at Berkeley. In 2009, he earned his Ed.D. in educational leadership and management at the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Miller and his wife, Mia, have two children, Sophia (age 10) and Grayson (age 8). Dr. Miller says, “It is exciting to join Park Tudor at such a vibrant time in its history. The school is strong in every respect, academically and financially, and it boasts numerous signature programs, like Global Scholars and the Learning Project, which distinguish it and define innovation in the context of strong traditions. In addition to providing a premier education, Mia and I were both impressed with Park Tudor’s commitment to the arts, athletics, and character education. I look forward to joining the thoughtprovoking conversation that the school has already begun about twenty-first century learning and the challenge of educating

hants Hart, appointed interim director of Park Tudor’s Middle School in January 2010, was formally appointed director in July. Head of School Doug Jennings says, “It is clear from all constituents – students, faculty and parents – that Shants Hart’s leadership has energized the middle school and has ensured a bright future for that division.” Mrs. Hart holds a B.A. in English education from Purdue University and a M.S. in educational administration from Butler University.
Before joining the Park Tudor faculty as Middle School English teacher in 2004, she taught sixth, seventh and eighth grades in Washington Township and has years of experience teaching honors and gifted and talented courses. She has successfully completed internships in leadership, served on curriculum development committees, and gone through extensive training in the teaching of writing. She also has served as an administrator of a private Christian school on the west side of Indianapolis.

I am eager to celebrate all the qualities that make Park Tudor so unique.” The Park Tudor Succession Committee, in conjunction with the executive placement firm of Wickenden Associates, conducted a national search for the position, with 44 applicants. Nine semifinalists were invited to Park Tudor in early October for confidential interviews with the committee, which then selected three finalists, each of whom visited campus to meet with students, faculty, parents and alumni. Chris Braun, vice president of the Board of Directors, served as chair of the Succession Committee.

Reaccreditation process nears end
P
ark Tudor is in the final stages of its reaccreditation by the Independent Schools Association of the Central States (ISACS). School improvement and accountability are the ultimate goals of this multiyear process, which last took place in 2000. Following a reaffirmation of the Park Tudor mission by the school’s Board of Directors in 2008, the school conducted an online survey of alumni, students, parents and faculty, followed by a two-year school “self-study” and an on-site evaluation by a team of educators from other independent schools throughout the country. Park Tudor’s ISACS selfstudy team, led by Academic
Dean Mike Ayres, compiled these reports into one document that provides an overview of our programs and school operations, highlighting areas of strength and areas for improvement. The final step in the process was the evaluation by the ISACS visiting team, which took place October 17-20. Led by chair Bryn Roberts, Head of School at St. Paul Academy and Summit School in St. Paul, MN, the team met with teachers and students to affirm that our self-study is “in congruence” with the school’s stated mission. The team will issue a final report and reaccreditation by the end of 2010. FALL 2010 park tudor phoenix 5

ark Tudor students, faculty and alumni spent time in September and October building the school’s sixth Habitat for Humanity house in 12 years. This year’s home was built for refugee Sein Win Naing, his wife and two daughters. Naing fled Burma for Thailand in 1988 after risking his life as a member of a prodemocracy student movement. After being forced out of Thailand, he and his family arrived in Indianapolis. Although they have called the United States home for more than 10 years, this will be the first house they have owned.

the majority of building, with Lower and Middle School students contributing items to
furnish the home. The Park Tudor Alumni Association was a major financial sponsor of
this year’s build, and coordinated an alumni day of service on October 16. Student co-chairs of the build, senior Matt Braly and junior Ali Dakich, raised more than $70,000 to finance the construction through corporate and individual donations. Park Tudor is the only school in the city to finance a Habitat home build without other partners. “The whole Park Tudor community has really worked together to make it happen,” says Matt. Dedication of the new home took place on October 29.

We all went to Paris By Chris Hammock, Middle School history teacher
“W
e All Went to Paris”… the title of a book I found on our travels and a comment on how many Americans have been captivated by this place. In July, fellow Park Tudor teachers Janice Vote, Barb Beattie, Sheila Young and I set off on a combined trip of curricular development and adventure. Each one of us had our own special interests. Here is my story of what I sought and found in Paris. Why are you off to Paris? What does it have to do with teaching American History? Not only did I wish to combine two of my great loves, France and U.S. History, but there is a very interesting connection between the two. My story begins with another little volume I found on a previous trip to France. Its title, “Paris: Birthplace of the U.S.A.,” started me on this adventure. I have visited France several times to see the great sights – cathedrals, museums and even the catacombs. But this time, I came to retrace the steps of my

on all of us. I imagined myself sitting in exactly the spot that Thomas Jefferson chose every time he checked on the progress of one of his favorite new buildings, the Hotel de Salm. (Other Americans loved that building too. An exact copy of it was built in Lincoln Park adjacent to the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.) I walked along the quais where Jefferson bought book after book. Some of those finds were later donated from Jefferson’s personal library to the Library of Congress. We traveled to Passy, now a Parisian suburb but formerly a village on the way to Versailles. Here Benjamin Franklin spent many years living a charmed life while also cleverly endearing America to the French. Of course there is a Rue de Franklin, but also at the Square Yorktown is a
monument to the “Genius who freed America and flooded Europe with light: the sage whom two worlds call their own.” Continuing through the city, I visited the Place des Etats-Unis, where I found a large statue of Washington and his dear friend Lafayette. Streets radiate from this place with names that remind us of French aid during the Revolution. Nearby are monuments to Rochambeau, DeGrasse and Continued on page 9

P
T students have the opportunity to travel the world and host foreign students this year on school-sponsored trips. • French teacher Janice Vote will lead a two-week trip to France June 25-July 6, 2011. Students will spend one week in Nice (on the Mediterranean coast) living with a French family, attending language classes and exploring the incredible beauty and rich history of the
south of France. Students then will travel to Paris, where they will spend four days experiencing the unsurpassed art, architecture and culture of the “City of Light.” • Middle School students have the opportunity to travel to Costa Rica for a week in June 2011. This marks the fifth Middle School trip to Costa Rica, which enables the study of both science and Spanish. Activities include
hiking in a rain forest and cloud forest, visiting a coffee plantation, visiting a school and meeting its students in order to apply Spanish learned in the classroom, swimming in hot springs, and zip lining over the top of the rain forest. The trip leaders are Sue Taylor, eighthgrade science teacher, and Amy Kerr, eighth-grade world languages teacher. • In September, the Lower School welcomed 24 students

others who worked with the “insurgents.” A few steps from here is a grand statue of honorary citizen George Washington. Upon his death, the French army was in mourning for 10 days and General Napoleon presided at a memorial service in his honor. Perhaps the most thrilling moments occurred when I (accompanied by my faithful companions) visited the cemetery at Picpus, the private burial place of the Marquis de Lafayette. I had read about this spot, and even tried to visit it once before. The location and hours open for visitation make it a place that few visit. However, this was our time! I had done the research. The cemetery would be open for a celebration on July 4. This was the time that the American friends of Lafayette would decorate the grave, fly a new American flag at the site, and salute the accomplishments of America’s great friend. As we prepared for the day, I had a funny feeling that all was not right. But of course, I ignored that premonition and pushed onward. The early rising, the quick breakfast and long trip on the metro came
next. It was Sunday, and most of the city was quiet. As we approached the cemetery and adjoining convent, church bells were ringing. That was another hint of trouble. Ceremonies, bands, celebrations on Sunday morning in a Catholic country? I think not. Sure enough, one of the nuns greeting parishioners to morning worship confirmed that there would be no ceremony in honor of Lafayette today. In fact, the celebration had already occurred several days earlier. None of the friends of Lafayette wanted to disturb nuns and the convent on a Sunday morning. What to do now? Go to Mass with the nuns, of course. We stepped inside the small but lovely chapel, tried to understand the homily, and hoped that we might get inside the cemetery later in the day. Several nuns gave us a curious look, but we returned them with our ever-friendly American smiles. As the Mass ended, one of the nuns approached us. Somehow, while we were worshipping, it had been decided that the cemetery would be opened for us. A tiny nun appeared with the key. She led us through gates, a garden, and a long pathway to
the walled cemetery. In the corner was the grave of Gilbert Lafayette and his wife, Adrienne. There was the new American flag, the flowers, the inscriptions. And underneath the marker, I knew were bits of soil from the United States. It was a desire of the man to be buried alongside his wife, but to also be buried underneath American soil. Lafayette was invited to visit the United States 50 years after his service in the Revolution. Some accounts report that he picked up soil while visiting the grave of George Washington, his “spiritual father.” Another account describes him picking up clods of soil while visiting the Yorktown battlefield. A third story suggests that he took soil from Bunker Hill. No matter to me from which site the soil was derived, I am certain that the Marquis’ final request was fulfilled. This is just one of the many places in which Americans have a unique connection. We each brought an individual idea on how to connect the sights and sounds of France to what we teach. We all went to Paris, and we all wish that you might have a similar adventure.
and three teachers from La Scuola Italiana di Montevideo in Uruguay – the 14th year for the exchange program between our two schools. Students and teachers enjoyed visiting Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the main library downtown, Conner Prairie, The Children’s Museum and the Zoo. They also spent some time in our art and P.E. classes and enjoyed a cookout and soccer with the fifth grade. The students and teachers stayed in the homes of Park Tudor families. To complete the exchange, students from Park Tudor Lower School are travelling to Uruguay in November. • Upper School History teacher Margo McAlear is coordinating a historical and cultural trip to Peru for 15 sophomores, juniors and seniors in June 2011. This 15-day trip includes a visit to the colonial city of Lima, viewing the mysterious Nazca lines in the desert, and an exploration of archaeological and Spanish sights in Cuzco, heart of the Inca Empire. The group also will hike into spectacular Machu Picchu and wander Puno on Lake Titicaca, one of the highest lakes in the world. In addition, students will boat to the Ballestas Islands, “The Galapagos of Peru,” with large sea lion and penguin colonies. Other highlights will be sand boarding in the desert oasis of Huacachina, mountain biking in the Sacred Valley, horseback riding around Inca sites, and hiking a part of the Inca trail high in the Andes. There will be a home stay on the small island of Amantani in Lake Titicaca. • In June 2010, 16 Middle School students accompanied by sixth-grade history teacher Carole Simmons and world lanContinued on page 10 FALL 2010 park tudor phoenix 9

guage teacher Amy Kerr spent 13 days visiting Barcelona, the beaches of Normandy, Paris, London, and Liverpool. In alternate years, the Middle School offers a customized summer trip to Europe designed to enhance the social studies curriculum and to enrich the experiences of the students’ world language studies. Museum visits, cultural differences, major landmarks and shopping all contribute to the expanse of the students’ global awareness. • Four students from Valladolid, Spain spent part of their summer with host families at PT and participated in speech and health classes in our summer programs. PT has participated in an exchange with El Colegio Internacional in Valladolid for several years; last spring, fourth and fifth graders traveled to Spain, and sixth and seventh graders from El Colegio visited PT. This year marked the first time that students from Spain visited in the summer. • Five Upper School students spent two weeks in Seville, Spain in June studying in a Spanish immersion program. During the two-week program, students lived with Spanish host families and attended classes and cultural activities at Youth Exchanges in Spain. They also took day trips around Seville and spent a weekend visiting La Alhambra in Granada, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Park Tudor is one of 14 consortium schools throughout the U.S. that support the Spoleto Study Abroad Program. The students chose to participate in the photography, visual art, and vocal music programs. Twice-weekly excursions to cultural centers such as Florence, Assisi, Tivoli, Siena and other medieval hill towns offered students the opportunity to experience artistic, cultural, and historic treasures first-hand. • Four student members of the Park Tudor Legacy Initiative history project traveled to Washington D.C. in June, guided on the weeklong adventure by Middle School Social Studies teacher Chris Hammock and Legacy Initiative Director Kathryn Lerch. The primary objective of the trip was to research
specific Civil War materials at the National Archives and to locate photos from WWII, Korea, and the Vietnam War at Archives II in Maryland for the fifth volume of the “Words of War” anthology series that will be published in the spring of 2011. • Upper School students will learn about the culture, history, and art of Germany during Spring Break 2012 with Social Studies teachers Kathryn Lerch and Sven Dubie, and Visual
Arts teacher Heather Teets. The trip will allow students to sample the rich culture and history of the historic cities of Berlin, Potsdam, Wittenberg, Dresden, Prague and Munich. Students will complete a special project during this trip as they also explore the palaces, remnants of the Berlin Wall and treasures in the Pergamon Museum, see the influence of the Hapsburg Empire in Prague, and much more.
Noah Bendix-Balgley, a participant from Germany in the 2010 International Violin Competition of Indianapolis, visited Park Tudor in October to perform for our string musicians in grades 3-12.

In presenting the award, Board President Joe DeVito said, “The purpose of the award is to recognize persons whose sincere and energetic devotion to Park Tudor School has resulted in extraordinary service to the school and its students. The school has always promoted the value of educational travel, but Margo McAlear and her colleagues have taken these opportunities to new levels of excellence. In addition to her full-time teaching duties, Margo has planned, promoted, and led trips to
China, Egypt, Jordan, and this spring, Peru. Students claim these trips are the highlights of their years at Park Tudor, and the culmination of an education that makes them culturally aware citizens of the world.” • An excerpt of an essay by Upper School English teacher Dr. Geoffrey Sharpless has been selected for publication in “A Clockwork Orange: A Norton Critical Edition.” Dr. Sharpless’s essay, “Clockwork Education: The Persistence of the Arnoldian Ideal,” was originally published in the Johns Hopkins University Press electronic journal “Postmodern Culture” 4:3 (May 1994). The book, edited by Mark Rawlinson, will be published in late December and is intended for use in college courses.

Legacy Initiative history project, for which students have recorded and transcribed more than 500 veterans’ oral histories for the Library of Congress over the past 10 years. Students in the Legacy Initiative project also are working on the fifth edition in their series of “Words of War” books, which will be published in spring 2011. The volume will feature stories from Merchant Marine Arctic convoys during WWII; diaries and reminiscences from China and Norway; letters from 1915 Petrograd, Russia, as well as numerous veterans’ oral accounts from WWII, Korea, Vietnam and Iraq. Since the origin of the Legacy Initiative project in 2001, the project’s primary goal has been to provide students with numerous hands-on-history opportunities, whether working with original unpublished documents, trekking to historic destinations, and/or interviewing veterans. To donate copies of any unpublished wartime accounts (letters, diaries, photographs, reminiscences), or to connect a veteran with a Park Tudor student-interviewer for the Library of Congress, contact Kathryn Lerch at klerch@ parktudor.org. • Eighth-grade math teacher Heather Carmody presented a workshop at the sixth International Conference of Creativity in Mathematics and the Education of Gifted Students in Riga, Latvia in early August. She was the recipient of a Park Tudor Towards Excellence grant to attend the conference, which attracted approximately 80 teachers, professors and researchers 12 park tudor phoenix FALL 2010
from 20 countries. Last spring she served on the committee that reviewed proposals for the conference. Carmody presented an extended workshop on the projects she uses with her students, sharing information on how she developed them as well as examples of her students’ work. Recently she also successfully defended her preliminary exams and is now a doctoral candidate in educational psychology at Purdue University. For her preliminary exams, she defended a paper she wrote about research she has conducted over the last few years on “Successful African-American Students in Advanced Mathematics: Expectations for Achievement,” which she is currently editing for publication. • Upper School English teacher Laura Gellin has been honored with a Teacher Recognition Award and medal from the Alliance for Young Artists & Writers. Teachers receive recognition for their work with students who have won a National Award in the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards contest. Last year, Neha Anand ’13 won a National Award for her poem “Heritage,” which was published in the Summer 2010 issue of “The Park Tudor Phoenix.” In notifying the school of Gellin’s award, the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards noted, “We believe that every successful student has a supportive and inspiring teacher standing behind him or her. We also recognize that to good teachers, teaching is not just a career; it is a way of life.” • Director of Technology and Director of Soccer Operations Mark Phillips has been induct-
ed into the Kenyon College Athletic Association’s Hall of Fame. The award noted, “The most explosive offensive [soccer] player in Lords’ history, Mark Phillips wrapped up his four-year run with Kenyon career records that included 74 goals, 32 assists, and 180 points.” Phillips’ goal and point totals remain standing as NCAC records and still rank among the top 20 outputs in NCAA Division III history. With the All-American on the field, the Lords compiled a combined four-year record of 63-9-6, won two NCAC titles, and advanced to the NCAA tournament all four years. Phillips holds Kenyon singlegame records for goals (9) and points (18), as well as Kenyon and NCAC season records for goals (25) and points (59). • Lower School Library Media Coordinator Donna Johnson has been invited to serve on the state Young Hoosier Picture Book committee
for the third year in a row. The committee reviews more than 85 books, writes lesson plans to accompany them, and votes to determine the 20 picture books that appear on the state list. As compensation, publishers provide committee members with 60 to 70 books that are added to school library collections. • Upper School Social Studies teacher Jeff Johnson traveled to Kenya in July, where he stayed and worked at a rural orphanage, visited schools, toured Nairobi and the Great Rift Valley, visited a Maasai village, and went on a four-day safari. Johnson, who spent five weeks in South Africa in 2001, gathered additional teaching resources, worked to enhance the Nonwestern Civilizations curriculum, and explored the possibilities for a service trip for students. He received a Park Tudor Toward Excellence grant for the journey.
Seventh-graders visited Broad Ripple in October to participate in Math & Science Day. Students spent the day using math and science principles to solve “real-world” problems they encountered during their journey.

Fall athletic update: Five team and five individual conference championships! By Brad Lennon, Athletic Director
GIRLS GOLF
The girls golf team concluded a record-setting season advancing to the regional round of the state tournament, scoring a season-best 350 while earning third place at the sectional. If a first-ever Indiana Crossroads Conference championship wasn’t enough, the girls capped their season going undefeated in regular season match play, setting a new school record with an unblemished 14-0 record. The previous best record was 11-2 set by the 1989 state finalist team coached by current athletic director Brad Lennon. Junior Brooke Hasler earned an individual conference title and set two new individual school records with a frontnine 33 and eighteen-hole 75 while finishing third at the sectional. Brooke broke current Lower School parent and ’90 graduate Susan Poland Long’s previous eighteen-hole record of 76, and ’02 graduate Kim Thompson’s nine-hole mark of 34. The girls took fifth place out of 16 teams in the Marion County Tournament and also came home in fifth in an early season invitational at Lawrence Central. With only one senior on the team, the future looks extremely promising for coach Eli Salatich and the linksters.

It took very little time for the girls to become competitive while showing moments of great maturity mixed with youthful lapses expected from a team lacking in experience. Nearing the end of the regular season, the girls possessed a respectable 8-14 record that included a solid 3-3 conference slate good enough for third place in the ICC standings. The team had an admirable run in sectionals, with wins over Washington and Indian Creek; the girls ended the season in the sectional final after a hard-fought loss to Heritage Christian.

Inside story: The merger of Park School and Tudor Hall By BILL BECK
Excerpted from the book “Park Tudor School: The First 100 Years,” written by Bill Beck, edited by Lisa Hendrickson ’77
S
ometime in the fall of 1964, Russ Ryan wrote a letter to Eli Lilly. Ryan, then the president of the Park School board of trustees, heard a rumor from board Secretary Ralph “Bud” Reahard. Reahard reported that Jules Ulrich, caretaker of the Lilly Orchard since 1921, had told Mr. Eli that he intended to retire on March 1, 1966.1 Ryan asked if the Lilly family would consider selling the property to Park School for a new campus.2 The Lilly Orchard had been in the family since the 1890s when Mr. Eli’s father, Josiah Kirby Lilly Sr., purchased the 55-acre tract at 71st Street and College Avenue. J.K. Lilly and his sons had planted more than 1,500 apple trees on the property in the 70 years they had owned the orchard.3 The orchard property included Foster Hall, a building erected in 1927 by Josiah K. Lilly Sr., Col. Eli Lilly’s son. Mr. Eli had turned the building into a memorial to Stephen Foster, one of his favorite American composers, and the family used the facility for gatherings.4 By 1964, Mr. Eli and his brother, Josiah K. Lilly Jr., the president and CEO of Eli Lilly and Company, were pondering what to do with the property. The Park School board of trust-
ees, meanwhile, was faced with the dilemma of future plans for the school. Park School was reporting record enrollments during the early 1960s, but operating costs of maintaining the 20-acre campus on Cold Spring Road were large and growing. Most of the buildings on the campus dated to the Carl Fisher era more than 40 years before, and they required constant repair. By 1964, the cost of educating students exceeded tuition by an average of $300 per student.5 With enrollment forecast to reach 250 students by 1966, that meant Park School was operating at a $75,000 annual deficit. A second factor in the board’s considerations involved questions about the school’s ability to expand at the Cold Spring Road location. Park School’s campus was hemmed in by Marian College, a Catholic liberal arts college owned and operated by the Sisters of St. Francis of Oldenburg, Indiana. The third and perhaps overriding factor that the board faced in 1964 was the predicted move of the Indianapolis population north. Planning for the construction of Interstate 465 had begun in the early 1960s. The 55-mile-long I-465 would circle Indianapolis and connect the city to the network of interstate highways planned to pass through the Hoosier capital. Highway Continued on page 16 FALL 2010 park tudor phoenix 15

planners routed I-465 nearly 12 miles north of downtown Indianapolis, but only 4-1/2 miles south of Monument Circle. That transportation decision alone all but guaranteed that Indianapolis suburban development in the 1970s would be north and not south.6 The reality of the planned demographic shift was apparent to the Park School board of trustees. If the school could secure a suitable piece of property in Washington Township somewhere just south of I-465, or perhaps in Clay Township of Hamilton County just north of the north leg of the interstate, then Park School could ensure a steady flow of students in the decades ahead.
Reine, who agreed to begin negotiations for purchase of the Park School campus. By May 1965, Park School and Marian had agreed to a sale. The $1.2 million purchase price enabled Marian to unify its campus and begin planning for construction of new library facilities.11 The sale to Marian put Park School one-third of the way to its goal of raising $3 million for the new campus at 72nd Street and College Avenue. The sale also created pressure for a merger of Park with Tudor Hall, an eventuality that Mr. Eli and Josiah K. Lilly Jr. had foreseen from the moment they had instructed Rauch to hand the deed for the Lilly Orchard to the Park This entry from the 1971 edition of “The Park Tudor School board of trustees. Chronicle” yearbook gives an indication of students’ “My brother and I were motivated initial impressions of the merger. The merged school ‘The campus of a fine in this gift to aid three fine local eduoriginally was called Park-Tudor School, but the hyphen cational institutions,” Mr. Eli said in school’ was dropped in the early 1980s. a 1965 press release announcing the Ryan received a reply to his letter transfer of the Lilly Orchard to Park in early 1965.

The two agreed to a meeting day, and when distinguished university.”12 the Park School board arrived at Foster Hall several weeks Coming Together later, Rauch solemnly handed over a deed to the property.7 Rauch told the board that Mr. Eli and Josiah K.

The initial buildings utilized were the Lower School – which doubled as classroom space for the high school – and the Clowes Commons. Construction continued during the 19671968 and 1968-1969 school years on the gymnasium, the Upper School and the Middle School.22
‘The inevitability of coeducation’ The smooth transition from Park School’s Cold Spring Road campus to the Lilly Orchard did not go unnoticed by the Tudor Hall School board of trustees. Tudor Hall’s fortunes had taken a distinctly downward turn in the late 1960s. The dormitory that had opened in 1967 had not become the financial boon that Tudor Hall had envisioned in its long-range plan. Nationwide, the number of boarding students in girls’ preparatory schools began a precipitous decline after 1967. The decline affected Tudor Hall enrollment and the school’s bottom line. “We built, and raised 80 percent of the funds for, an additional dormitory,” Alma Whitford recalled in 1970. “In its first year of operation, our resident enrollment went from 40 to 60, and we had every reason to suppose that the facility would meet a real need. As a seer, however, I turned out to be as illequipped as the rest of the country’s private school heads: none of us foresaw the drastic fall-off of boarding enrollment that began in 1968. Not until March 1969 did I foresee the inevitability of coeducation and of merger, which I then quickly recommended to the officers of this board.”23 Tudor Hall’s board concurred with Whitford’s assessment. One inescapable fact with which Tudor Hall dealt in its attempt to stay independent was the reality that a number of its trustees were also Park School trustees. Russ Ryan, Park School’s board president in 1968, was a member of the Tudor Hall board, as were Park School trustees Bud Reahard and John Rauch. Ryan recalled that George Kuhn Jr., the president of the Tudor Hall board of trustees in 1968-1969, began to seriously consider merging with Park School because of Tudor Hall’s increasingly weak financial condition.24 Coeducation and mergers of independent non-public schools were becoming far more common in the late 1960s. Board of trustee objections to the combination of the two schools – which had been all but unthinkable two years before – had largely evaporated by the end of the 1968-1969 school term. George Kuhn continued the informal discussions with the Park School board of trustees during the summer of 1969. In
early September, the two boards announced that they were engaged in formal merger negotiations.25 Bud Reahard, who had succeeded Ryan as president of the Park School board of trustees, argued that both schools would benefit from a union. Kuhn also noted that the merger would most likely take place at the beginning of the 1970-1971 school year.26 The merger became official two weeks after school opened. On September 22, 1969, the boards of trustees for the two schools voted unanimously to merge.27 Kuhn and Reahard were named co-chairmen of a six-member committee to work out details of the consolidation, which was slated to begin at the commencement of the 1970-1971 school year. The two board presidents noted that some classes at the new school would be coeducational, while others would be single sex. Whether the school would become fully coeducational was “a very important decision,” Tudor Hall’s Kuhn told reporters.28 Park School Headmaster William McCluskey was named headmaster of the combined school.29 Whitford was to assist McCluskey, teach several classes and counsel students.30 Walter W. Kuhn Jr., named the 1969-1970 president of the Tudor Hall board of trustees in December 1969, would be the first president of the combined Park Tudor School board of trustees. The six-member merger committee met monthly from September 1969 to August 1970 to resolve the hundreds of details attendant to the merger. Whitford, who attended all 11 meetings, reported that the committee studied a host of matters, including “grading and reporting systems, independent study, health programs, audiovisual materials and their use, daily program, scheduling, assemblies and so on.”31 When school opened the week after Labor Day in 1970, nearly 575 students had enrolled in grades K-12.32 In May 1970, the committee had estimated that 455 students would enroll for the fall term. In fact, the enrollment was well in excess of the combined enrollment of the two schools at the end of the 1969-1970 school year. All of the advance planning had paid off. “The merger is such a splendid success,” McCluskey reported the week after the beginning of the school year. “No school in the nation has done this, with such a smooth and interesting manner, and we’re delighted with the plan.”33 When the merged Park Tudor School welcomed students at the start 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 academy. The administration needn’t have worried. Coeducation was an idea whose time had come for the country day school model in Indianapolis. Diane Duncan Renihan, a member of the first class to graduate from Park Tudor, recalled the freedom of “being able to get rid of the mandatory seersucker dresses with the accompanying bobby sox, wearing make-up instead of Clearasil® smathered all over my face to school, learning to sit like a girl because now there were boys, and not having to recruit boys from Brebeuf anymore for our plays.”34 Renihan, whose daughter, Hilary, graduated from Park Tudor in 1996, also remembered the exhilaration of “not having to sit at assigned lunch tables with the faculty. But above all, I remember having lots of fun our senior year.”35 Renihan’s memories of that first year were fairly typical for the initial graduating classes at Park Tudor. 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.
And even though the seersucker dress uniform went the way of the Peter Thompson, Park Tudor girls were required to wear a uniform the first decade of the joint school, a black wool kilt in winter and navy and green cotton kilt in fall and spring.36 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.

“I recall the first day of the merger very clearly. Some things were the same – Mr. McCluskey was still headmaster, but a lot was different. There were twice as many students and teachers running around. They had taken away our smoking privileges but had relaxed the dress code – we no longer had to wear coats and ties. I also recall noticing that the Tudor girls were friends with some of their teachers. I was fortunate to also become friends with teachers like Belle Choate, Toni Goffredo and Tony Onstott as the year progressed. “On that first day I remember discussing with my friends which girls we thought were cute. Emily Sturman looked so young I thought she was a student and I almost asked her out. It was a good thing I didn’t because when I went to math class she was my teacher. And I also remember torturing a girl named Julia who sat in front of me in history class, who became my wife.” – Ted Dunn, Park Tudor Class of 1971, speaking at Park Tudor’s 40th Anniversary Celebration, September 16, 2010

On the cutting edge:
Students, alumni develop technology for communication, business Students create app for instant sports results By CASSIE DULL
S
everal Upper School students spent part of their summer building an iOS app for the PT community to receive sports scores on their iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad with instant notifications. The free app is completely student-driven, from the developers to the reporters. The students laid out the plans, built the app and submitted it to Apple – all in about a week’s time. Each of the students had completed computer-science courses and was familiar with writing Java applications, but the iOS SDK (the software development kit for Apple’s mobile operating system) requires the use of the Objective-C programming language. The student developers had to learn the new language quickly. “Since none of us had prior experience at building an application for the iPhone and the language is so much different than what we do in the school’s computer-science classes, we were often stuck when we ran into problems,” said Adam Gaynor ’12, one of the app’s developers. “However, most of the problems dealt with logic of how we were handling the scores so when one group working on something got into a problem then we all stopped to help, and the mistake often jumped out at one of us.” Throughout the development process, the students involved in the project had to collaborate with each other. They worked on individual pieces of the puzzle and then brought it all together. Sometimes, two pieces wouldn’t fit well together and they would have to work it out and try again. Eventually, each developer’s contribution was pieced together with the others to form a func-
tional and purposeful app for the PT community. Developer Richard Ni ’11 says, “It was also a good lesson in product development – we weren’t just assigned the task of coding, (but) we also had to plan what the product would be and what it would look like, organize ourselves, assign tasks, etc. “Personally I also spent a lot of time thinking about how to market the product (what to say and how to say it at the assembly, how to design the PowerPoint, how to encourage people to volunteer to submit scores). It wasn’t by any means a major marketing project but I’d never thought about anything like that before,” says Richard. Not only did students build the app, they’re also running it and keeping it up to date. Student reporters submit the scores and highlights via an online form that can be filled out with any smart phone as soon as the game ends, and the information is automatically sent out to all devices with the app. The app can be customized to each user’s preferences through the settings. Users can choose which sports teams they would like to receive results for, simply by toggling the On/Off switches. Teams are set up for each sport and gender, and each has its own individual icon to let users quickly identify the sport and whether it’s a boys or girls team. Another feature is a refresh button that allows users to grab new info that may have come in while they were in the app. The development team envisions this being a helpful tool for live updates from important regional, semi-state and state finals games. The app has been downloaded more than 450 times by students, parents, faculty and alumni. The development team has enjoyed hearing the great feedback. “We’ve even overheard people praisContinued on page 22 FALL 2010 park tudor phoenix 21

ing the app to friends just when we pass by,” said Adam. “We also get a lot of comments from the community about how to improve the app and we are working on putting many of those in our next version,” he said. Plans for future development include being able to submit photos and videos along with the scores, and a Droid version of the app. Students who worked on the app are Adam Gaynor ’12, Richard Ni ’11, Jack Thygesen ’12, John Graybill ’12, Prahasith Veluvolu ’13, Joseph Landis ’13, Erin Hoffman ’11 and Cobi Petrucciani ’12. Computer Science teacher Ryan Ritz advised the students.
Alumni build app for college life
once a week or more, with 22% of students using it daily. The application currently works as a prototype and provides users with their class schedule, building map, meal-point balance and campus-card balance. I am working with the university on tweaking the application and hope to release it next semester. In the meantime, I am working on taking the map portion of this app and creating a standalone campus-map application that allows users to select the name of a building and it will show that building on a map along with a dot indicating their current location. I hope to release the campus map application by the end of this semester.
Students build web site for local non-profit By LISA HENDRICKSON ’77
College students are rarely more than an arm’s length away from their mobile phones. They don’t just use their phones to make a call or send a text; college students turn to their phones when they want to access information on the go. Two PT alumni at Washington University in St. Louis worked together to build a mobile app for students to have easy access to personalized campus information as part of a computer-science course last spring. William Scales ’06 and Matt Lanter ’07 took the project from idea to reality. Matt writes: William and I took a class called Software Engineering Workshop last semester (Spring 2010) that taught how to develop applications for the iPhone. The last month of the class was spent working on a final project of our choosing. We decided that we wanted to work on an application that would be useful to us and that we would continue to use after the class ended. We decided on an application for students to view their class schedule, a map of their class buildings, their meal point balance (used only for food), and their campus card balance (same as cash and used for anything, such as laundry, books, etc.). At the beginning of a semester, I always printed my class schedule and I would look at a map to find where the buildings were located. Our application makes both of those features easily accessible on a phone. Toward the end of the semester, students start to run out of meal points, so we thought it would be great if they could just look on their phone and see “I have $7.48 left.” Currently the university has a website that contains all this information, as well as other academic information, called WebSTAC; however, it was designed before smart phones were even a concept, so it is difficult to view on a three-inch screen, and therefore people rarely try to visit it on their phones. Our application uses this website to retrieve the data, but presents it in an easier-to-use interface. I conducted a survey of Washington University students and 77% of students indicated they would use our application 22 park tudor phoenix FALL 2010
What better way to learn to build a dynamic web site than to create one from scratch for an Indiana non-profit organization? The four students in Ryan Ritz’s Dynamic Web Development class did just that during the spring semester of the 2009-10 school year, designing and building a site for Fresh Start of Indiana, which provides support services to victims of domestic abuse. Each semester the class selects a non-profit organization to support through a class web-design project. The students received about a half-dozen requests from non-profit organizations, then conducted phone interviews with candidates to determine the organizations’ needs and selected a project most compatible with the learning assignment. The students developed a detailed web design, laying out the information and graphics that would appear on all 20+ pages of the site. Each student was assigned mini-research projects on a different topic related to the design, such as how to create log-in applications, how to set up mailing lists, how to upload and download attachments, how to set up online donations, and more. The students created a back-end database that enables the employees at Fresh Start to make changes easily, collect user data, and add information and photos without having to know HTML coding. “Students are very motivated to utilize their skills to help others,” says Ritz. “And students gain valuable, reallife experiences in research, project management, teamwork and problem-solving along the way. It’s a win-win.” The class members – seniors Samuel Clarke, Nolan Smith and Tommaso Verderame and Ben Scott ’10 – estimate they spent about 400 hours working on the project. The “market value” of their work was approximately $5,000, according to Ritz. Samuel says the project “required a lot of unanticipated work” as they encountered such problems as formatting issues, crossbrowser compatibility and page consistency. Ben says that “the integration process was the hardest,” noting that team communication was key. To share the fruits of their labor, they created a library of “how-to” pages for use by students in future web development classes. Judy House, the founder and executive director of Fresh Start of Indiana, Inc., said of the students, “From the beginning, their professionalism stood out. We could not be happier with the careful planning, detail, design and content that the students constructed.”

World Cup vs. The Economy Did world-class soccer impact stock markets? Manvir Heir ’08 is a third-year undergraduate business student at Emory University’s Goizueta Business School. He is majoring in finance and accounting, with a minor in mathematics, and plans a career as a financial analyst. Manvir also runs varsity cross country and track for Emory. He wrote this paper after being inspired by the professor of his Corporate Finance class. B y M an v ir H eir ’ 0 8
This summer’s 2010 FIFA World Cup was a colossal event, with people from all over the world converging in South Africa to witness the greatest sporting event in the world. Stadiums packed with fans blowing vuvuzela horns made the atmosphere at the African continent’s first World Cup unlike any other in history. The World Cup, however, is far from being just a sporting event. Global companies use this event as a platform for marketing, and effective strategies can prove invaluable. The link between sports and business prompted Manvir Heir me to think about other possible relationships between the two, specifically in regards to match results and stock markets. My goal in conducting this study was to determine whether matches in the 2010 FIFA World Cup affect investor sentiment enough to cause irregular changes in domestic stock markets. That is to say, I aimed to determine whether a win for a particular nation causes an irregular gain in stock prices, and vice versa for a loss. Such irregular changes would indicate that after FIFA World Cup matches, markets are not completely efficient.
Method
I began by finding the winner and loser of each of the 64 matches of the World Cup. When matches were a draw, I used the Moneyline betting spread from BETUS.com to determine the winner or loser. Teams that were favorites before the game that resulted in a draw were deemed the losers, while underdogs that managed a draw were deemed winners. Next, I researched the major stock indices for the 32 nations playing in the World Cup. Because market information from many countries is not available, I only used data I could find on Yahoo! Finance because it is a reliable and credible source. In total I found index data on 18 of the 32 nations. With the list of winners and losers for each game, I documented how their domestic stock market changed (close price compared to open price) the trading day after a win or loss. When a match was played on Friday, Saturday or Sunday, I used stock market information from the following Monday. I used the following trading day to let the result “soak
in” to investor sentiment, as opposed to using same-day returns when investors may be unaware of matches or the stock market may not be open at all. I also researched the day-to-day changes of each market to determine the average day’s change per market per country. I used only the period from July 13, 2009 to July 12, 2010 (the trading day after the last match of the World Cup). Looking at the dayto-day changes, I could find how much, on average, each market changed per day and the standard deviation of the changes. I used the standard deviation as a measure of volatility. Those markets that have high standard deviations changed more on a daily basis over the last year than those with lower standard deviations. I found the average of the nations’ daily standard deviations and used this to find a standardizing factor. The standardizing factor was the average standard deviation divided by the individual nation’s standard deviation. For instance, the United States standard deviation was 0.0108 while the average standard deviation was 0.0112. The standardizing factor was whatever number must be multiplied by the US’s standard deviation in order to get the average standard deviation. In this case, that number was 1.0324. The standardizing factor allowed me to assume that a single daily return for any country could represent the entire group of 18 nations. I would just multiply the domestic index percentage Continued on page 24 FALL 2010 park tudor phoenix 23
feature
change for that country by its standardizing factor. In this manner, I could say the sample of 40 winners represented a sample of daily changes for the group of 18 nations. In order to determine how the sample of winners or losers compared to a population, I calculated a world stock index based on the 18 countries. I used the data for daily returns from July 13, 2009 to July 12, 2010 and weighted them by 2009 GDP (CIA Factbook) to determine how an index based on the countries performed on a daily basis over the last year. I weighted the index by GDP because the larger the GDP a country has, the more it is likely to affect world markets. Because changes in stock market indices can be thought of as a normal distribution, I measured the significance of the data with a one-sided z-test. A z-test requires a population mean and standard deviation, as well as a sample size and mean. My population was the world index data from trading days from July 13, 2009 to July 12, 2010. My samples were the winners and losers, weighted by the standardizing factor to represent the world index.
Results Overall, winners saw a next-day stock market change of, on average -.02%, while losers saw a gain of .04%. Winners and losers in the group stage of the tournament saw changes of -.07% and .18%, respectively while in the knockout stage, winners gained .14% and losers lost .25%. Hence the most significant results were those of the knockout stage. I can say with 62.3% confidence (a z-score of .3135) that winning in the knockout stage of the World Cup positively impacts investor sentiment; likewise I can say with 84.2% confidence (a z-score of 1.004) that losing in the knockout stage negatively affects investor sentiment and as a result, domestic stock prices. The data from the knockout stage are perhaps more important than the data from the group stage
because knockout stage games determine elimination or progress, while individual group stage games may not. The null hypothesis was “2010 FIFA World Cup matches do not have an effect upon investor sentiment as measured by next-day stock market returns.� Assuming a 10% confidence interval, I cannot reject the null hypothesis. More research will be needed to reject the null hypothesis.
Discussion There are several possible errors or biases in the project. Use of the next trading day instead of using the match-day trading day may have dampened the effect investor sentiment played. If investors act irrationally in response to World Cup matches, it may be during or immediately after the match and not the day after. Another possible problem is small sample size. Despite the fact that statistical analysis can be conducted on small samples, it is better to use an even larger sample of data. Furthermore, the data is not immune to macroeconomic shifts. That is to say, the sample data may have been heavily influenced by worldwide economic data that affects many markets. Additionally, using a z-test to test for significance assumes that stock index changes fall on a normal distribution, when the data may actually be skewed right or left. Questions about the study?

Endowment Society Donor Profile….in their own words Adrianne Glidewell Smith ’98 Endowment Society member since 2010
“M
aking Park Tudor the beneficiary of an IRA account that my parents started for me was extremely easy to do – it only took a phone call and a signature. The impact it makes, however, is huge. Now I can continue to support the Annual Fund while knowing that I have a plan for an ultimate gift in the future. Park School and Tudor Hall merged to form Park Tudor 40 years ago, thanks to a group of generous alumni and parents. Their vision resulted in my receiving a Park Tudor education. I want future generations of students to benefit from my
generosity as well. Everyone should consider a planned gift to Park Tudor because everyone can. Whether you make
$40,000 a year or $400,000, there is a plan that will make good financial and philanthropic sense to you.”
