PHOENICIAN

THROUGH THE YEARS 1966-1971 Kennedy was President, Maris hit 61, and ground was being turned for a new school in the east valley - Talley Acade my, In the past 25 years, the school, now known to us as Phoenix Country Day, has exploded into what we see to day. From its modest beginnings - a cou ple of classrooms and an auditorium/ cafeteria named after a Mr. Clayton B. Burch - PCDS had increased six fold in enrollment to become one of the finest school in the Phoenix metropolitan area. Granted, it was not an easy road. From zoning restriction squabbles to enormous debts, PCDS had its share of troubles. But the school, as the motto goes, Perservered, and now we reap the rewards of the blood, sweat, and tears of the past. In the following pages, we will take a look back, as well as a look ahead, to what PCDS was, is, and might be.

1961-1966 From the Bay of Pigs to the start of Vietnam, the early sixties was a rocky road for the United States as well as for PCDS. The first few years of the school’s existence were characterized by deficit financing and small enroll ment. But, as in all things, with the bad, came the good. The deficit was conve niently taken care of annually by two or three “ angels” on the Board of Trust ees, and enrollment steadily increased over the five year period. As John, Paul, Ringo, and George hit the top of the charts, PCDS’ football team was hitting the gridiron. Football team? Yes, PCDS had a full-fledged, and completely awful, football team in the early sixties. The school also was devel oping a drama program which, under the leadership of one David O. Raymond, performed much more impressively than the football team did. As this period in PCDS history came to an end, Lyndon Johnson and Chet Seroka had already completed two years of service in their respective posi tions.

Upper Right: The Not-So-Fab Four - Da vid, Rhett, Hugh, and Bob (George, Ringo, Paul, and John) Right: The PCDS Football Team (dark jerseys) runs to a 0-6-1 record in 1968.

An age of miracles. The Apollo pro gram, led by Neil Armstrong, set man on the moon; The New York Mets, led by Tom Seaver, won the World Series; and PCDS, led by John I. Yellott, quadrupled from its original size. In addition to a new science building came three new classrooms, a boy’s locker room, a wrestling room (the old band room), and in 1971, PCDS received a grant for the John I. Yellott Aquacenter. These years of PCDS history were not only characterized by growth, but by the personality of Headmaster Yellott. Be hind his leadership, we turned around financially and enrollment increased to almost 400 students. During these five years, Nixon, Bruning, Houle, and Singer arrive on the scene.

AND SO ON 1972-1976 A time o f changes. While the fash ion world was taking a turn for the w orse, PCDS was m aking som e monumental changes for the better. N ot only were there new buildings (the completion o f the Aquacenter and four new tennis courts) but there were changes in the curricu lum. The computer became part o f our program. Pursuit o f Perspec tives (now New Horizons) was ad ded. The football team was dropped for good, and a concrete foundation for a financially successful future

was laid. W e saw a new headmaster, Mr. Robert Pierce, and a new Upper School Dean, Mr. James Roof. A new Director o f C ollege Counseling was found in J976 in Mr. Paul Schweikher, and Madame Arlette Jacques, Mr. Robert Wilson, and Mr. Les Felton, Jr. jumped on the PCDS band wagon.

1977-1986 This decade in PCDS history saw us truly becom e the fine institution we are today. Buildings sprung up

from every where (The Peter S, Fire stone Memorial Upper School builds ing. The Gymnasium, and the music building, to name a few ). Enrollment grew to an all time high, and PCDS was accepted into the prestigious Cum Laude Society. Dr. Joel C. Monell was the PCDS headmaster for these ten years, and led the school to times o f financial stability and prosperity. In closing the book o f the past, we take a sentimental sigh, and look towards the future. . .

1987

AND INTO THE FUTURE

¥ 1 7 ow! What a year! It was a W year o f excitem ent and spirit. With a new Head of School to lead us, PCDS rede fined the word learning. Whether it was in the classroom or on the sports field all the students, from Lower School to Upper School, could be seen having a blast.

A s we proceed into our sec ond 25 years, w e can only imag ine where PCDS is heading. We have our Ten Year Plan, of course, but that doesn’t tell all. For all we know, PCDS could becom e a nationally ranked bas ketball power or Mr, Bruning could quit teaching to run for president. Anticipation. . .

AT THE TOP From rowdy seniors to “ little freshm en” , the Upper School has grow n into a place that the students can be proud to be a part of. The spirit days, the lunches in the quad, the intramu ral com petitions, and many more activities have all helped to add to the rising spirit and the sense of community in the Up per School. This sense of com munity is felt throughout the faculty as well as the students. These special student-teacher relationships help add to a re la x e d and en jo y a b le a tm o sphere. P C D S , with its already well-established reputation for academic excellence, can be ex pecting great things coming up in the future. 77

FRESHMEN et another record setting F resh m en C la s s ! The C la s s o f ’90 is the big gest c la ss to hit the P C D S Upper School. W hile this class w a s an energetic bunch, they were, to put it delicately, Freshm en, and with Freshm en com e all those w onderful things that Freshm en are prone to do. This c la ss w a s no exception to the rule, but, in the end, they did leave the rest of the school with the feeling that they had the potential to be com e real contributors in the U pper School. If they survive the sum m er, this m a ss of Frosh m ay even turn into Sophom ores!

NOTES ON MUSIC: This year the P C D S music p rogram w a s bigger and better than ever before. The new music building w a s an inspiration for all, and Mr. Les Felton, Jr. w a s the driving force behind many ch an ges in the program . For the first time w e had a concert band, a guitar class, as well as the Jazz Ensem ble and Dixieland Band. The choir w a s the best

w e ’ve had in a long time. N ew com binations w ere everywhere this year, including the N A G mix of jazz and chorus, the dueling banjos, and the R agtim e Duet. Hari and the K rishnas exploded into the P C D S m usic scene, too. A ll in all, the m usic program seem s to be following its tradi tional pattern of excellence and innovation.

VARSITY GOLF Extrem ely respectable - two w o rd s that best describe the V arsi ty G olf Team . Under the leadership of C oach es Mr. D ash n aw and Mr. Martin as w ell as Captain Lou W erner, the E agle golfers com piled a respectable record while com pet ing against schools that were, in som e instances, 15 tim es our size. O ver the course o f the season, Lou w a s the m edalist (lo w scorer o f the entire m atch) 3 tim es and Fresh m an Brett W alton accom plished the feat once. The team, while hav ing a great year, also has a bright future.

VAR SITY CH EERLEADERS For the second year in a row, the P C D S CheerÂ leaders helped to boost the spirit and excitement at the E agleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gam es. Their enthusiasm and skill helped performing team s to defeat opponents. This year, for the first time, there were two cheerleading squads. There w as a Varsity Team (captained by Heather Stocker) and a Junior Varsity Team (captained by Carrie Judd). The cheerleaders practiced three times a week, which definitely paid off. With the success they have had, the team, first organized in 1985, will continue to grow and to last. One o f these things is not like the other

VARSITY SOCCER The 1986 Phoenix Country Day School Varsity Soccer Team had a m agnificent year. Being the state cham pions for three previous consecu tive years, the soccer team proved once again they had the potential, al though they w ere not in a league. A s o f O ctober 28, the Varsity Soccer team had a record o f 10-0 and tying in tw o gam es. A place in the play-offs would have m ost certainly been guaranteed with such respectable showings. H ow ever, the team ’ s perform ance did not g o unnoticed as it clinched the Chal lenge Cup against Judson School in three straight victories. O verall, the entire team put out 100% effort. H ow ever, several m em bers d ese rv e sp ecial recogn ition . Jason H ackett showed excellent athle tic abilities by building up plays for the offen se and adding a couple o f goa ls to

help balance the attack. Kris Stathakis displayed great skills and leadership as the captain. Kevin Wernick, John Josephson, and Hugh Daley all re mained solid defensem en. Apichai Shipper and Greg Janis should be noted for their abilities to hustle about in the foward position. Finally, Billy Dumone w as a rem arkable player who alw ays seem ed to have foiled the oppo nent’ s defense by scoring 23 o f the team ’s 57 points in the season. There is no secret to w hy the soccer team perform ed so well. One man must be given credit for its success, S ole Antonijevic. He stressed coopera tion and team w ork am ong players. He also shared many tips from his profes sional soccer career. The 1986 Varsity Soccer Team w ill alw ays be a team to be rem em bered. Right: “ Out o f m y w a y !”

In early N ovem ber, the M en’s Varsity and Junior V arsity B a s ketball team s started practicing for w hat they hoped to be a very successful season. With Coach Curtis Perry at the helm, The V arsity team bolted out to two consecutive victories in the new C la s s ‘C ’ League. This w a s not, unfortunately, a foreshadow ing o f w hat w a s to com e, however, because the E agles w ould pro ceed to win only one o f their re m aining gam es. Led by co-captains Lou W erner and Apichai Shipper, the team , however, hung tough in alm ost every gam e, losing num erous close

gam es. The Junior V arsity team, in sharp contrast, although falling one gam e short o f a winning re cord (7-8), com piled the best re cord o f any J V basketball team in P C D S history, an im pressive feat considering that they also had the largest schedule of any J V team . The team w a s spiri tually led by Peter ^ S le e p y ” Sp iegel and Bennett “ Brickster” H opper, while G ary Linhart and Brett Groh led the team on the court. In addition, Coach Brian Ellingson served as an inspira tion to the entire team. Right: A p i in the key.

W O M EN’S VARSITY BASKETBALL S tru ggle. That one w ord best describes the year the W om en s V arsity B ask etball team exper ienced in 1987. The spirited team , with rookies abound, struggled through the year with a losing record, but not a loosing attitude. The team and its coach, the patient and know l ed geab le M s. Linda Heberling, although disappointed with the

past, are excited about the fu ture. With m any players return ing, the team plans to turn around its losing w ay s, and be com e the first w o m en ’s bask et

BASEBALL & SOFTBALL A s the 1987 M ens’ Varsity Baseball team heads into the 1987 season, w e look back to 1986. Th e 1986 season saw the Eagles defeat the Judson Cougars for the S tate Independant Baseball Champion ship. The team w as led by the strong pitching arm s o f Seniors Elliot Wernick and All-Stater Tim Richey as w ell as AllS tate catcher Greg Janis. Outstanding de fense w as provided by Kevin Wernick. Kris Stathakis, with a big bat and glove, w as named the S tate Tournam ent’s M ost Valuable Player. Going into 1987, the Ea gles past successes have earned them a Pre-Season ranking by The Arizona Re

public o f fourth in the state. The team will depend on the leadership o f their Tri-Cap tains Kevin Wernick, Greg Janis, and Kris Stathakis. Looking back at 1986, the W om ens’ V arsity Softball team won the State Independent Championship. Behind the pitching o f Jennefer Wilson and the leadership o f Tina Sim onds, the Eagles won their first Independent soft ball title. Blending together tim ely hitting and excellent defense, the Eagles were clearly the class o f the league. That sam e excitem ent and energy should be w it nessed throughout the entire 1987 W om ens’ V arsity Softball season.
